I was recently given the chance to write for a great online magazine about my self-care journey. The site is reimagine.me and is overflowing with amazing information for those who have been diagnosed with cancer, along with anyone in general that has been affected by cancer. The site leaves cancer treatment to the doctors, but […]
September is National Menopause Awareness Month
Well, it’s the celebration that we’ve all been waiting for—National Menopause Awareness Month! It’s September and evidently the time of year we are suppose to work really hard to generate awareness and help the world understand that menopause is real and needs to be a recognized affliction. That’s why it has its own month. Right? […]
Look Pre-Diabetes In the Face – Cure Yourself
The beginning of the month brought some definite changes for me—not only was I diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, but the dreaded insulin resistance/pre-diabetes health sentence. It has been something I knew in the back of my mind was coming, but it stunk all the same. The positive-side (if there can be a positive) is that […]
The Results Are In!
Well, heading to a local healthcare provider who specializes in hormone therapy proved to be just the right course of action. I braved two weeks of the “Houzz” enhanced medical office, along with two weeks of tests that spanned from hormone to insulin levels. I knew that something needed to change because even though the […]
Diary of Eve – Considering Bio Identical Hormones
This week I began a new journey. After reading and considering Heidi’s advice with regard to bio identical hormones a couple of weeks ago, I decided to seek out a second opinion with regard to my own treatment of fairly severe perimenopausal symptoms. Per my story I have previously shared, I spent almost two years […]
Be Nice! Menopause 101.
“Mental strength means you understand how to manage your emotions, adjust your thinking, and choose to take positive action, despite your circumstances. It’s knowing deep down that every little struggle is progress. And if you really want it, you’ll do it, despite failure and rejection and the odds.” Mark Rochefort, Mark and Angel Life Hack […]
Why I do Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy
I’m often asked by friends why I decided to go this route. The natural hormone replacement therapy route. After all, it seems more “natural” to do nothing and to somehow just “tough it out” and let nature take its course. For many women, this route, the doing nothing route, works just fine. But for others, […]
And, it’s that time of the month. . .
I have to say that I’ve never felt better about being psychotic one week a month than I do since I started working on Body of Eve. I have learned in the last couple of months that I was not alone in thinking that I must buy a handgun when I came upon something as […]
Sweet 16!
No tofu here! Friday was my daughter’s Sweet 16th birthday, so the last part of my week was crazy and definitely a little hormonal–both mother and daughter. I’d like to say that the menu was clean and plant-based, based we had a cheat night. We had our cake and ate it, too! I’ll be posting […]
Schools Out for Summer Hormones & Aha Moments
Well, it’s 10:45 pm and I finally have the presence of mind to sit down and blog. It’s been a long day teetering between being grateful that I’m home with my kids for the summer and hiding inside the broom closet in an effort to privately “meditate” myself into sanity. Today was especially whacky because […]
