Menopause

How to Reverse Thinning Hair After Menopause

Ever since menopause hit, your hair is thinning: With each new day, you wake up to more loose strands on your pillowcase. With every shower, you’re clearing more tangles of hair from the clogged drain. With every morning, more hair ends up in your brush. Nope, it’s not all in your head. If you're wondering, "Does menopause cause hair loss?," the answer is yes. More importantly, can … [Read more...] about How to Reverse Thinning Hair After Menopause

Menopause and Panic Attacks: What’s the Connection?

Published in: Anxiety, how to get through a panic attack, menopause and panic attacks, Panic Attacks

Your hands tremble, your chest heaves, you're sweating and clammy and feel like you're having nervous breakdown or a heart attack. You feel out of control and detached from the world. (FYI, the chest pain from a panic attack usually feels like a sharp or stabbing, localized pain in the mid-chest area, while pain from a heart attack is usually a pressure or squeezing sensation that can radiate … [Read more...] about Menopause and Panic Attacks: What’s the Connection?

Seven Effective Ways to Deal With Menopause

It seems that lately, everyone is talking about menopause. Okay, not everyone, but the people I associate with. We're all of "that age:" either we've gone through it or we're presently going through it. And, as unreliable as memories can sometimes be, when it comes to menopause mine are crystal clear (even though my periods officially ended years ago in my early 50s): the hot flashes that … [Read more...] about Seven Effective Ways to Deal With Menopause

Menopause and Anxiety: The Connection

Published in: Anxiety, Anxiety and Menopause, Mood swings, Panic Attacks, Stress and menopause, Why you feel stressed

Menopause. Yes, it takes away your period - for good. And considering that the average number you've had in your lifetime hovers somewhere around 450, you might be happy to say buh-bye. But in return, menopause ushers in some other things you might not be so happy about: anxiety, depression, mood swings, panic attacks. That wild roller-coaster of high-pitched emotional craziness. If you … [Read more...] about Menopause and Anxiety: The Connection

Menopause, Bloating, Hair Loss, Friends and Cellulite

Greetings – remember me?? I write that because it’s been a long while since I’ve posted here - and that old saying, “Out of sight, out of mind” scares me a bit. I hate to lose whatever momentum I’ve gained since starting this blog back in 2012 (has it really been that long??). So, thanks for sticking with me! As I write this post, I realize I’ve been a bit, well…absent lately. Short … [Read more...] about Menopause, Bloating, Hair Loss, Friends and Cellulite

Menopause and Vaginal Dryness

Published in: Estrogen therapy, How to treat vaginal dryness, Mona Lisa Touch, Topical estrogen for vaginal dryness, Vaginal atrophy, Vaginal dryness, What to do about vaginal dryness

I'm not going to beat around the bush. (Okay, I realize that is a not-so-funny pun.) Why not get right to the point? Menopause brings many changes, and one of the peskiest being a change in the way your vagina feels, which can lead to itchiness, dryness, irritation (which can even lead to bleeding), and trouble with intercourse. It's just no fun getting old. But hey, at least we have loads … [Read more...] about Menopause and Vaginal Dryness

About 377,000 are reported to have had surgery (as of 20102) for the disorder, with those numbers expected to climb significantly over the next several decades.

DOES THIS SOUND VAGUELY FAMILIAR? ..."Crippling anxiety, sleep issues, panic attacks, lack of energy, weight gain, intense sweating, no sex drive dry hair and brittle nails." – Just a few of the 219 comments expressed by women from around the globe in response to a 2011 blog I wrote titled, "Menopause and Anxiety" for HealthyWomen.org.

The Truth About Your Post-Menopausal Body

Published in: Aging, Belly Fat, Exercise, Fitness, Health, Menopause, Midlife, Staying Healthy, Weight Gain

Going through menopause means a lot of things to a lot of women. While many parts of the “transition” are individual (for instance, my sister suffered nary a hot flash while I was continually bathed in sweat), one universal truth is this: our bodies change. Yes, unfair, especially when you consider that’s just one set of problems added to the long list of other changes, like sleep disturbances, … [Read more...] about The Truth About Your Post-Menopausal Body

About Me

What’s this so-called midlife, anyway?

It’s a time of tremendous change, growth and opportunity. A time to re-evaluate our choices, our experiences and ourselves. A time to take what we’ve accumulated up until now and put it to work.

When I turned 50, many things changed... read more about me.
