WANTED Woman Escape is a curated travel experience for ambitious women seeking adventure, sisterhood, culture, and true rest while exploring the world. ✨

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — What happens when 28 ambitious women from across the United States trade their schedules, deadlines, and to-do lists for the cobblestone streets and Caribbean warmth of Cartagena, Colombia? Magic.

That is exactly what unfolded during the latest installment of WANTED Woman Escape, the immersive group travel experience created by Coach Cass, founder of the WANTED Woman Movement, a woman whose mission is simple: Inspire Many.

The journey began in Palenque, a village unlike any other.
Born from the courage of enslaved Africans who fought for and won their freedom, Palenque is one of the first free Black communities in the Americas. Its people have preserved their language, their music, their rituals, and their spirit across generations.
For the women of WANTED Woman Escape, stepping into Palenque was not just a cultural excursion. It was a homecoming of sorts.

They danced in the streets, learned from the community, and were reminded that Black excellence is not new. It has roots.

The group then took to the streets of Cartagena’s iconic Walled City for a walking photoshoot through one of the most breathtaking historic districts in the world.
Draped in color and confidence, the women moved through centuries-old architecture like they owned every cobblestone. “I felt so fabulous and our confidence shined bright in our photos,” shared Tiffany, one of the travelers.

Back at the resort, the group gathered poolside for a day drenched in sunshine, literally.
Dressed head-to-toe in yellow for a “Walking on Sunshine” themed pool day, the women brought effortless glamour and infectious joy to every moment.

The adventure continued with a trip to the volcanic mud baths of El Totumo, where laughter and luxurious mud became the perfect combination. It was a reminder that sometimes the most rejuvenating experiences come wrapped in the most unexpected packages.

The trip concluded with a full spa day featuring luxurious body treatments, a non-negotiable, signature closing ritual of every WANTED Woman Escape.

“I didn’t have to plan a thing, I didn’t have to know a thing. I
just did what I was told. And for a boss, that’s true rest. Rest
from decisions, from expectations, from responsibility. I got to
just be.”

— Rasheeda Hall, MD, WANTED Woman Escape Cartagena Participant

“Thank you for planning and creating this sisterhood. This is
absolutely WONDERFUL. More importantly, all of us showed
we’re committed to showing up for ourselves.”

— Sabrina, WANTED Woman Escape Cartagena Participant

Experts warn that recurrent kidney stones and declining kidney function may signal a curable hormone disorder.

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — During National Kidney Month, the Norman Parathyroid Center is urging patients and physicians to recognize a frequently overlooked cause of kidney damage: undiagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism. While diabetes and hypertension are well-known contributors to kidney disease, excess parathyroid hormone can silently elevate calcium levels, increasing the risk of recurrent kidney stones, kidney calcification, and progressive kidney decline.

Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs when one or more of the parathyroid glands produces too much parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates calcium levels in the body. When PTH is overproduced, calcium is pulled from the bones into the bloodstream. Primary hyperparathyroidism affects approximately 1 in 500 women over age 50 and is one of the most common causes of elevated calcium levels. Elevated calcium levels force the kidneys to filter excess calcium day after day, increasing the risk of stone formation and long-term kidney damage.

For many patients, kidney stones are the first warning sign — but the underlying cause is often missed. Despite clear biochemical markers, many patients are treated repeatedly for kidney stones without ever being evaluated for an underlying hormonal cause.

“Kidney stones are one of the most common and most overlooked warning signs of primary hyperparathyroidism,” said Dr. Jim Norman, founder of the Norman Parathyroid Center. “We routinely see patients who suffered through years of stone episodes before anyone checked their calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. When calcium remains elevated, the kidneys are under constant stress. Over time, that can lead to permanent damage. The tragedy is that this is a curable condition when diagnosed correctly.”

Emergency departments often treat the stone but do not investigate persistent hypercalcemia. Over time, untreated hyperparathyroidism can lead to nephrocalcinosis (calcium deposits within the kidney tissue), reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR), progressive kidney decline, and significant bone loss.

Fortunately, primary hyperparathyroidism is surgically curable.

“When we treat hyperparathyroidism early, we are not just stopping kidney stones — we are protecting long-term kidney health,” said Dr. Jamie Mitchell of Norman Parathyroid Center. “Many of our patients tell us they were treated repeatedly for stones without anyone investigating the underlying hormone imbalance. Once the overactive parathyroid gland is removed, calcium levels normalize immediately. That means the kidneys are no longer under constant stress. Early diagnosis truly changes the trajectory of a patient’s health.”

During National Kidney Month, Norman Parathyroid Center encourages:

– Anyone with recurrent kidney stones to request calcium testing
– Patients with reduced kidney function to ensure calcium and PTH levels have been evaluated
– Physicians to consider hyperparathyroidism in patients with elevated calcium
– Recurrent kidney stones are not normal. Persistently elevated calcium is not normal. Both warrant further investigation.

Experts highlight how adrenal disorders such as Conn’s syndrome and Cushing’s syndrome can silently damage the kidneys.

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — During National Kidney Month, the Carling Adrenal Center is urging patients and physicians to recognize a frequently missed cause of kidney damage: hormone-producing adrenal tumors. Conditions such as primary hyperaldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome) and Cushing’s syndrome can silently drive resistant hypertension, metabolic dysfunction, and progressive kidney injury.

Primary hyperaldosteronism occurs when an adrenal tumor produces excess aldosterone, a hormone responsible for regulating sodium and potassium balance. Primary hyperaldosteronism is estimated to affect up to 1 in 10 patients with resistant hypertension, yet many remain undiagnosed. Excess aldosterone causes the body to retain sodium and excrete potassium, leading to resistant hypertension and ongoing vascular stress. Chronic high blood pressure is a leading cause of kidney damage.

“Primary hyperaldosteronism is one of the most underdiagnosed yet most treatable causes of high blood pressure and kidney injury,” said Dr. Tobias Carling, founder of the Carling Adrenal Center. “Excess aldosterone drives blood pressure higher and places constant stress on the kidneys. Many patients are told they simply have difficult hypertension, when in reality there is a surgically correctable adrenal tumor producing excess hormone. Identifying and treating the source can dramatically improve blood pressure control and reduce long-term kidney risk.” Despite clear biochemical markers, many patients are labeled as having “essential hypertension” and placed on multiple medications without ever being screened for aldosterone excess. Persistent hypokalemia (low potassium) is often overlooked as a key warning sign.

Cushing’s syndrome poses similar risks through excess cortisol production. Elevated cortisol contributes to diabetes, hypertension, metabolic instability, and systemic inflammation — all of which accelerate kidney decline. “Hormone excess does not just affect one system of the body,” Dr. Carling added. “In Cushing’s syndrome, elevated cortisol contributes to diabetes, high blood pressure, and metabolic instability — all of which accelerate kidney damage over time. When we remove the source of excess hormone production, whether through adrenal surgery or targeted treatment, we are not only correcting the endocrine disorder. We are helping protect vital organs like the kidneys from ongoing injury.”

The Carling Adrenal Center is a high-volume adrenal center specializing in adrenal vein sampling, minimally invasive adrenal surgery, and complex adrenal tumor management. Experts emphasize that patients with resistant hypertension — particularly those taking three or more blood pressure medications — should be screened for aldosterone excess.

During National Kidney Month, the Carling Adrenal Center encourages:

-Patients with resistant hypertension, especially those taking three or more medications, to request screening for primary hyperaldosteronism

-Individuals with unexplained low potassium to pursue adrenal evaluation

-Physicians to consider hormone-driven causes in patients with difficult-to-control blood pressure

-Hormone-driven kidney injury is often reversible when properly diagnosed and treated.

About the Carling Adrenal Center
Founded by Dr. Tobias Carling, one of the world’s leading experts in adrenal gland surgery, the Carling Adrenal Center is a worldwide destination for the surgical treatment of adrenal tumors. Dr. Carling spent nearly 20 years at Yale University, including 7 as the Chief of Endocrine Surgery before leaving in 2020 to open the Carling Adrenal Center, which performs more adrenal operations than any other hospital in the world.
