Keep Your Crown: A Woman's Guide to Checkups, Screenings and Warning Signs

A Precious Solutions guide by Precious Silas, MBA

Educational only, not medical advice.

Dear Sister, how many times have you put off your own appointment because somebody else needed you more? I have done it too. This book is my way of saying: your health is not selfish. You cannot wear your crown if you are not here to wear it.

Keep Your Crown is a 28-page, easy-to-read guide to the checkups, screenings and warning signs every woman should know, with the facts checked against official sources like the USPSTF, CDC, ACS and AHA.

Inside you will find:

• Your screening schedule by age, from your 20s to your 60s and beyond: blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, Pap and HPV tests, mammograms, colon screening (with every test option), bone density and more.
• Heart attack warning signs in women and what your blood pressure numbers mean.
• Stroke: BE FAST, the six letters that help you spot a stroke and act fast.
• Cervical cancer and HPV, testing options and the vaccine.
• Breast self-awareness: knowing your normal and the changes to report.
• Know your numbers: cholesterol, A1C and blood sugar.
• Skin, eyes and teeth, the checkups people forget.
• Your mind matters: mental health, when to get help, and 988.
• Talking with your doctor: how to prepare and the questions to ask.
• Free and low-cost care: health centers, Texas programs and 2-1-1.
• Printable trackers for your fridge: a yearly checkup tracker, a year of appointments, a health numbers log, your family health history, your medicines and a visit planner.

Read it with your sister, your daughter or your church group. Then pick up the phone and make that appointment.

With love, Coach P
