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.

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 […]
A New Key to Weight Loss–Healthy Bacteria
Hey there. Heidi here. Are you happy with your weight? As a fifty-something woman, for me it’s now a daily battle. I don’t know about you but fitting into my pants is super high on my list. I can’t afford to buy a new wardrobe every year. With a 5’3” petite frame, a 5 pound […]

Hello, it’s ALWAYS grilling season here. I think that’s why we could never move. Surf. Meat. Grill. Beer. You get the […]
Health, Life and Mom
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.
