Budgeting Your Energy in Menopause
It's not your fault. You've been programmed to think that you're not good enough, pretty enough, skinny enough, or perfect enough. It's on the cover of Photoshop-ed magazines at the grocery store, reinforced on TV, and referred to in current -- and unfortunately catchy -- songs that objectify women. So much of what…

Age of Gregarious
At age two, I strutted like a four-year-old.
When I was eight, I tried to act sixteen.
When I was sixteen, I tried to act twenty-one.
When I was twenty-one, I matured myself to thirty.
When I was thirty, I tried to look like I was twenty.
When I was forty, I tried to act thirty again.
When I was fifty, I realized I could act any damn age I wanted to!
It's 2012! We've got resolutions to lose weight, exercise more, start fresh, do less A, do more B, and…

The Real Skinny on Menopause Weight Gain
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 [...]Has Menopause Changed You?
Menopause gets a lot of negative press. It’s not too often that you hear, “I’m so glad I’m in menopause. What a great experience this has been!” Usually, it’s the opposite. Between the hot flashes and mood swings, menopause can turn your world upside down. But I recently ran across an article by Roseanne Barr.

‘Tis the season to be jolly. Yes, that means you. Even though you’d like to pretend you have all the time in the world, the holidays are upon us. No matter where you turn, the signs are there. Black Friday ads. Santa at the mall. The wacky neighbor with the reindeer on the roof. You [...]What Preventative Measures Do Women in Their 40s Need to Take to Maintain Heart Health?
This is a guest post by Ashley from Long Island Heart Associates. 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 [...]Research, Science and Menopause
Guess what, ladies? Researchers are really starting to pay attention to women in menopause.
