    The next time you place blame on hormones as the reason for things not going so well in your life, you may want to step back and move. I’m not talking about locale, but rather, moving your body. And researchers are saying that physical activity may actually be one of the most important things you can do to maintain or improve the quality of your life when hormones are wreaking havoc on your body, your mood and your outlook. Granted, part of the reason for the improved life quality may have to do with amelioration of symptoms as a result of exercise. Indeed, you may recall a post from…

Lubna Pal, MD, Yale School of Medicine Is it possible that deep brow furrows are an early indicator of osteoporosis later in life? The findings of a recent study suggests that the more wrinkles a woman has in her early menopause years, the lower her bone density, putting her at risk for bone fractures. The association may seem like a stretch at first. But Dr. Lubna Pal, an endocrinologist who led the research at Yale’s School of…

It happens every year. Resolved to get fit and healthy, new members (or those who have been MIA) fill up group classes and the wait for using the cardio equipment becomes too long for my schedule.

    If you’re only getting 5-6 hours of sleep most nights, you probably don’t even realize how lousy you feel. You’re so used to it. If that’s your normal default mode, you’re depriving yourself of good health now and for years to come. Next year will mark the fifth year that I’ve been writing about women’s health in midlife. I began my research to learn about hormone therapy and what I could do to help myself get through the worst of symptoms. Then I decided to share all the information and helpful resources that I discovered in books, on other websites…

    If all else fails there’s always Tolstoy’s ‘War and Peace.’ Sometimes just looking at such a massive book makes you tired enough to sleep. Since a good night’s rest is the cornerstone of optimal health and even positivity, I thought I’d offer up some suggestions for holiday gifts that an insomniac would really appreciate. 1. Consider trying a soundtrack from Pzizz (left), which calls itself “your personal sleep and relaxation assistant.” The tracks are different every time you listen to it and you can control how long to let the audio play.

But the headline of a piece on brown fat, coupled with the information that follows, is a perfect example of raising hopes before dashing them. Let’s start with the headline: Feel a Chill? Brown Fat’s Busy Slimming You Down And the second paragraph: “It is brown fat, actually brown in color, and its great appeal is that it burns calories like a furnace.

Thanks Kelley, for this great post!   The ME in menopause is a journey, or as best-selling author, Gail Sheehy, might say, a passage.  Only there are distinct differences from that original publication back in 1976 when Ms. Sheehy was in her late 30’s,…

  • Rage against the machine: menopause and irritability

    Liz
    16 Jan 2012 | 6:11 am
    Last week I posted an amusing video about menopausal rage and parking lots. But is uncontrollable irritability really so funny? An estimated 50% of perimenopausal women report irritability as a major symptom and it tends to worsen the deeper you get into the ‘pause. Depending on how severe hormonal fluctuations, it’s n0t unusual to have excessive and seemingly out of proportion responses to even the most mundane of activities (such as waiting on line at the bank). A road paved with irritability is truly a rocky one and one that will certainly be less well traveled by those people…

A number of goddesses struggling with this frightening symptom have written me recently, so let’s address and demystify it. First and most important, anxiety that comes out of nowhere when you enter perimenopause and menopause is NORMAL!

And those days when you pass a mirror or window and wonder who is that middle aged woman looking back before recognizing yourself. And yet. And yet, there is so much that is wondrous and illuminating about the aging journey. Twenty some odd years ago, when…

    2012 is off to a great start and I have given myself my dancing (not marching) orders for the year vis a vis the thought-provoking questions from Robin Mascari posted in the last blog entry. My poet-friend Kat posted not only the questions for year end and beginning, but her answers. (Check out her blog: Poetikat's Invisible Keepsakes.)  It was so enlightening to read them, like one of those emails that ask you to relay 4 things you like to eat, 4 places you've lived, etc. to friends, but way more juicy. I feel like I learned some new aspects of Kat - and so decided to share my own answers.

Fortunately, training in preventive medicine allows me to offer real solutions for eliminating sources of stress and curbing fatigue – giving women their energy back and revving their desire for sex once again.Sleep would top the list of priorities – if you were to survey the group of doctors I work with, I venture that all of them would say that no patient is more grateful than those who…

    Now that the holidays are over, it’s time to settle back into the reality of menopause. Weight gain is common for everybody at this time of year. Between the cookie exchanges, Christmas parties, and Grandma’s fruitcake, we all tend to pack on more than a few uninvited pounds. And when we’re so busy filling our stockings and celebrating the season, it’s easy to push our healthy habits aside ‘til the new year. Unfortunately, shedding those extra holiday pounds might only be half the battle.  As menopause approaches, our bodies begin to change. Some doctors and experts believe that…

Many people regard heart disease as a condition mainly affecting men; however, heart disease kills more women than men every year. Heart disease is actually the number-one killer of women in the U.S. As caretakers, women frequently put others first, ignoring their own health. They forget that if they were to become seriously ill, they could not care for their families. Fortunately, women in their 40s still have plenty of time to make lifestyle changes that will contribute to a long, heart-healthy life. As they move into their…

    In truth every woman undergoing menopause presents “a different face of menopause.” In my personal experience the field is considerably narrower. That’s probably because I don’t always know when a woman is undergoing menopause – it’s not like we all talk about it constantly – although there are those who think we speak of nothing [...]

  • Hormone Appointment Will the Rubber Meet the Road?

    About a year and a half ago my new hormone “doctor” made some tweaks to my bio-identical hormone compound. I didn’t like the results.
