I just ate a container of yogurt but I don’t remember eating it. I was reading the newspaper at the same time. Have you ever done that? How about sitting down in front of the TV with a bag of chips and eating half the bag or that tub of popcorn at the movies or […]
Work It, Girl – Surviving the Workday
This past December, I made the decision to become an embedded contractor within a large health-system. This means instead of working mostly from home, I’m now heading into an office everyday. And, in that office is a sea of people working in “cubes.” And, within those sea of cubes…are whole bunch of women, many of […]
Improve Your Wellbeing
We often measure our well-being based on our health and our wealth, usually because its so easily measured. I came to this conclusion one day after a conversation with a close friend. “How are you?” I asked. “Well, I’m feeling good – no complaints and I still have a job” she said. And when she […]
Can Food Help Keep Our Memory Strong?
Today I forgot my neighbor’s name. Oh, sure I could give myself an out and say “That’s okay—I haven’t lived here long” but it doesn’t make me feel any better. I see her all the time. Memory is a precious gift. We take it for granted when we are young and laugh about “losing it” […]
Menopausal Memory Tips for March
These days I’m spending a lot of time preaching to my 11 year-old son about getting organized—all so he can remember that he has math homework, needs to take a sack lunch tomorrow and to please, please brush his teeth before he goes to bed. In the midst of all of this, I’m trying to […]

All with promises to slow down the aging process and regain a youthful glow. However, those pesky wrinkles, sagging neck skin and ugly age spots […]
Confused About Hormone Replacement Therapy? You’re Not Alone
Were you surprised? I was! After learning about Steph’s near death experience, I wondered…could it really have been caused by her hormone replacement therapy? After a few sleepless nights, I decided to review the research again regarding the use of HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Here is what I found. There have been many large trials […]
Weigh Yourself Once a Week or Gain Weight
When I’m on a diet, I weigh in every morning. Heck, I’m motivated and I like to see the progress I’m making. But once I’m off that diet, the scale is not my friend. Oh, I think about the scale and step around it in the mornings but weighing in or not is largely based […]
Want to Lose More Weight? Drink Water
I admit it, I don’t drink enough water. Do you? Very simply, water is the beverage that keeps us alive. Our body is 60 percent water. We need water to move nutrients and waste through and around our body. Even mild dehydration can zap us of energy. So how much is enough? Well, the Institute […]
Strength!
Continuing along the “setting goals” theme and most everyone’s desire to improve their fitness, I thought I’d expand on the importance of incorporating strength training during menopause. And, if you are keeping up with our NY’s posts—you know that strength training is one my of 2015 goals. So, why even bother? Current research is focused […]
