Health, midlife and mom. That’s the theme of today’s post as we celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend. I’m feeling lucky in midlife because this is the time when many of my friends have started or have already lost their mothers, but mine is still alive and kicking. Like so many women in my mom’s generation, […]
Two Generations of Hormones
April is mental wellbeing month here at Body of Eve and I just couldn’t resist the opportunity to pen a piece about what rocks my wellbeing these days…dueling hormones at home. Between my perimenopasal hormones and the hormone swings presented by my lovely 16 year-old daughter, feeling mentally well on most days is a bit […]
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 […]
Memory Loss Happiness
Did we bum you out this month talking about memory loss and menopause? If so, I’d like to share one of my favorite quotes that always makes me feel better: Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory. Albert Schweitzer A little memory loss can be very helpful when striving to be […]
Perimenopausal Memory Loss – You Are Not Alone
The studies, articles and information I have recently discovered on the Internet over the last few weeks linking memory loss and perimenopause have been fascinating. And, self-prophetic. I do not feel so crazy or scared. I feel relieved that I’m not alone. Every day when I have periods of brain fog and short-term memory loss […]
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 […]
Still Here
Hello! I’m still here. Kind of a weird statement, but each day I’m appreciating life more and more. I’ve always had a fairly strong love affair with life, but even more so now that I’ve had a near-death experience. So, right up front – that is my point. Things can get worse. Yes, you might […]
You Better Start Listening
Well, my journey to good health during perimenopause took a crazy twist a couple of weeks ago. If you keep up with the blog, you may have noticed that I’ve been absent – more absent than any of you will ever know. Two weeks ago I almost lost my life due to blood clots (pulmonary […]
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 […]
The Crazy History of Menopuase
Hi there, Steph here~ Every year during the holidays I do two things: 1) Go to as many movies as possible. 2) Read as many books as possible. The kids are out of school for two weeks, so I’m not running around like a mad woman in a mini-van. And, most of my clients jet off […]
