Ok, so what does postmenopausal mean? If perimenopause and menopause have their similarities, what is meant by postmenopause? In simple terms, it means menopause. Menopause is the ceasing of menstruation, and its prefix “post” indicates you are after that point, hitting the trenches with a hearty wave or middle finger to your fading cycles. (Excuse […]
Perimenopause Explained (Well, as best we can.)
Cindy Brady, Teen Vogue the training bra…in the shadow of every feminine development, an enthusiastic junior version edges toward the spotlight. Menopause is no different, packing along its sidekick, perimenopause, for our early confusion and enjoyment. There’s a lot of talk and frustration surrounding its symptoms on Body of Eve so here’s a quick drilldown […]
Facebook’s Biological Clock
I’m not sure what prompted the attack, but my Facebook persona underwent some kind of major aging “makeover” over the past couple of weeks. It’s like one day I was identified as hip 40 year-old woman and the next singled out as an “Easy Spirited” 80 year-old. Did the algorithm Gods finally detect that sweater […]
Colonoscopy Time!
Warning: This post might be a bit graphic for some readers! This week I had the pleasure of getting an “around the world” length tube sporting a GoPro weaved up my ass. The actual procedure itself was a piece of cake, but unless you are living under a rock—you probably know that the day before […]
Obsessed With Steps!
Over the past three years, there is something I wear on my body at all times that has become almost as essential as my wedding ring. If only my husband would have known 25 years ago that I’d cherish a rubber step tracker almost as much as diamonds. He would have saved himself several thousands […]
Another Belly Fat Tip – Mix Up Your Walking Routine
You can wait for someone to take you to the top of the mountain, or you can tie your shoes and climb there yourself. Following along in the spirit of Heidi’s great “belly fat reduction” post (http://bodyofeve.com/a-new-way-to-fight-belly-fat/) last week, I thought I’d share how I’m currently combining her recommendation to eat earlier in the day […]
Summer 2015 is Here!
It’s official summer, schools out and I was recently able to take a little plane ride with my 11-year old son to Southern California. Epic for me as I’ve been nervous about flying ever since I had my little episode in January. I know the blood clots in my lungs are probably all gone and […]
Become a Mindful Eater
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
