Cranberries Can Prevent, But Not Cure UTIs
19 Jun 2009 | 4:56 pmThe latest issue of Nutrition Action Newsletter hit my doorstep this week and there’s an interesting article, “Rooting for Fruit,” about using our fruit bowls as a medicine chest. Of particular interest to me was the explanation for why cranberries can help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) if consumed regularly. First some background: Menopausal women are at greater risk of developing a UTI due to the changes that occur in the bladder as a result of declining estrogen levels. Half the cases of UTIs are caused by a (P-type E. coli) bacteria, which have little… -
The Effect of Poor Sleep Quality on Blood Pressure
16 Jun 2009 | 1:36 pmSleep disturbances, weight gain and creeping blood pressure are common complaints of women in mid-life. I’ve learned through experience and research that there’s a connection between sleep deprivation and weight gain as well as between weight gain and high blood pressure. Now, a new study, published just last week, is making a direct connection between sleep duration and blood pressure. It concluded that “early middle-aged adults who sleep fewer hours appear more likely to have high blood pressure and to experience adverse changes in blood pressure over time.”… -
Hormones, Heartburn and… Hip Fractures?
11 Jun 2009 | 2:13 pmAfter writing about the possible connection between hormones and heartburn (or gastric reflux) earlier this week, I discovered another research report, involving nearly 40,000 patients, that concluded that even short-term use of popular acid-reducing drugs such as Prevacid, Zantac and Tagament may raise the risk of hip fractures. The increased risks appeared two years after patients started taking prescription or over-the-counter anti-reflux medications. Other brands in this category of drugs include; Nexium, Prilosec, Protonix and Aciphex. (more…) -
Add Heartburn to the List of Estrogen’s Risks
8 Jun 2009 | 7:47 pmIf TV commercials for pharmaceuticals are a true reflection of what ails our population, then I have to conclude that a good percentage of people - men and women - suffer from Gerd, often called acid reflux or heartburn. It has been commonly believed that lifestyle factors such as BMI (body mass index), diet, smoking status, alcohol consumption and the use of certain medications are the culprits. But recent research has shown that if a post-menopausal women is complaining of Gerd-like symptoms, it’s very possible that her use of hormone therapies, or raloxifene (prescribed for… -
Your Brain’s RAM and Processing Speed ARE Impacted by Hormonal Changes During the Menopause Transition
2 Jun 2009 | 7:02 pmYour claims of brain fog, senior moments, or whatever you want to call the small but frequent memory lapses you experience during the menopause transition are real, according to the findings of a new study just published in Neurology journal. Researchers spent four years investigating the effects of the menopause transition and hormone use on three areas of cognitive function; processing speed, verbal memory and working memory. They concluded that mid-life women, particularly those in the late-perimenopause stage (they haven’t have a period in three to 11 months) were not able to…

Wednesday Bubble: weathering your hot flashes
1 Jul 2009 | 3:40 amHey Ladies! This week’s bubble comes to you c/o my Twitter friend Gloria Bell, who asked an interesting question: does climate affect hot flashes? Apparently it does. Although there are not a lot of studies that have been conducted specifically on this topic, an extensive analysis of data from 54 studies suggests that climate may indeed, influence the frequency of hot flashes. Investigators focused the mechanisms underlying hot flashes ( i.e., small elevations in core body temperature within a temperature range where a woman would not normally shiver or sweat –also called the… -

Wednesday bubble: flava flavonoid
24 Jun 2009 | 3:54 amWith the acai berry craze hitting its peak, I thought it was high time to devote a post to flavonoids (compounds found in plants, fruits and beverages that have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties) — namely, those found in berries. Yes, berries, This sounded a bit preposterous until I dug a bit deeper and located a current review in Maturitas, suggesting that berry flavonoids might be important for long-term health in menopausal women. However, researchers still can’t define the most important details, for example: berry type preparation regimen The…

Caring for Elderly Parents
25 Jun 2009 | 8:32 amIt can be a rewarding mission, a two-way street filled with joy!When your parents grow old and are no longer able to adequately take care of themselves, there are a number of ways to deal with this natural development of aging. Too often, their grown children opt for a nursing home solution, even when they know their parents would prefer to stay in their own home, or perhaps move in with you. It's easy to rationalize this choice. Some kids of aging parents feel they're not qualified to give the proper time and care required in caring for elderly parents. Others feel that such an arrangement… -

Weight Loss as of June 12, 2009
12 Jun 2009 | 6:59 amI am still going to Curves at least 3 times a week. I got weighed this morning and I've lost a total of 12.8 lbs so far. and 15.5 inches. Last weekend we went to Michigan for my sister's only son's wedding. We made a whole weekend of it and while I ate what I wanted, I was careful.

Clarification On Genetic Testing
10 May 2009 | 9:51 amI belong to the HCMA forum for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. I received some replies to a post I made back when I got my test results. Did you know what your Dad's HCM gene was? If not, then your doctor cannot know that you didn't inherit this from your father and that you can't pass it along. In order for him to make this statement, your Dad would have to have known that he had a particular -

I'm a little disappointed in the lbs. loss though as I was so sure it would be closer to 6 lbs. Oh well, a loss of any kind is better than a gain! I'm not 'dieting' because I just can't stick to one. Instead I've been -

The PAUSE in Menopause
30 Jun 2009 | 11:00 pmMenopause should more accurately be called menohalt, as reader Jackie M points out. I wonder sometimes about the scientists or health professionals that named it - were they overly optimistic? Confused? Clueless? Where actually is the PAUSE in menopause? I think I may have figured it out. The Pause might be a pause for reflection. We can t remember anything, can t function as we used to, are clueless and confused ourselves. We reevaluate everything. We pause to ask ourselves who we are. We look back to who we ve been up until the Big M. We look ahead to the woman we might become. We pause to… -

Taking A Break From Menopause
19 Jun 2009 | 11:00 pmThere are definitely days that I d like to take a break from The Big M. Even when I m not particularly hot, sweaty, cranky, or weepy, most of the time it feels like Menopause has taken over my life. Okay, okay, I know that the goddesses and I chose this path - we wanted to make sure that no other women had to suffer the uncertainty and panic we went through. If nothing else, we wanted our sister goddesses to travel the journeys through menopause, and more important, the second half of life with one another. And we love this job. But there comes a time when a goddess has just got to take a… -
Affirmations for Menopause Goddesses
12 Jun 2009 | 11:00 pmMy feelings about long plane rides has transformed since the Big M. I now LOVE to climb inside that metal tube and hunker down in my seat blissfully unavailable by phone, tweets, facebookings, email, or solicitors. I ve even compared these rides to taking bubble baths - Calgon, take me away. (See blog entry of 6/21/08 A Bubble Bath at 30,000 Feet). What s even better than a bubble bath, however, is a bubble bath and a good book.

Menopause Song

Our 1100 page textbook on Women s Health was called Maternal Child Health and devoted a single paragraph to the Big M - defining it as the cessation of menstrual periods. Thankfully, more is being taught in nursing school now (not too sure about medical school.......). A male nursing student wrote a song about Menopause for his nursing school class - here it is, straight from You-Tube. Enjoy!

She had first walked into the hospital one dawn in 2008 for D&C (dilation and curettage) and left at dusk. News then was that she had an executive check.

When Menopause isn't The End
2 Jul 2009 | 5:18 pmYou’re considered post menopausal when you haven’t had your periods for 12 months. One year. That’s the official cut-off. Any spotting or bleeding after 12 months of nothing is considered a bad thing that must be looked into by a doctor. Literally. By having time rules such as this, doctors catch and cure many a cancer before it gets a chance to spread. That’s a super good ting. Just know that the one-year rule is a rule created by doctors. Probably a statistical average. Whatever. The thing is, the 12 months don’t always correspond with the… -

For the most part, I felt great this week. On Tuesday, I had so much energy that I ran errands, baked cookies, and took a nice long walk in the evening. I’ve noticed that around mid-week, I start to develop insomnia, which makes for less…

Bioidenticals make me feel like anything is possible these days!
1 Jul 2009 | 5:29 pmGreetings from Southern California. I started Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy not too long ago and I feel great! I am rested when I get up in the morning and sleepy when I go to bed at night, although I admit I am still taking my Ambien. I have energy all day long and have lost 7 pounds while eating about 1400 calories a day. People may think it is too soon for me to notice a difference, and maybe it is all in my mind, but I don’t care where it is as long as it is no longer around my waist or hanging from my bottom As I wrote in my last blog, when I started my BodylogicMD program,… -

Another new maniac on the street!
26 Jun 2009 | 6:18 amLiving in Southern California it’s all about the ocean. I love to sail, scuba dive, go to doggie beach and eat sushi. I want to look good in a bathing suit again and enjoy all of the activities I enjoyed when I met my husband 17 years ago! I began the journey to this end about a year ago when I had Active FX and I liked the results. They were not dramatic, like a face lift, but my skin tone is now more even, my age spots are lighter and I believe there is reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Unfortunately the rest of my body, and my mind, have not been doing as well. The last year has… -
