Dr. Patti, thank you! Finally, a nice, straightforward explanation of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy dilemma. There is so much confusion about hormone replacement therapy, but what many people don’t realize is that the Women’s Health Initiative study that got us all worked up about this was about synthetic hormones. One could make the case that we then threw the baby out with the bathwater by applying its conclusions to bio-identicals which were not in the study.
In this article, Dr. Patti draws some distinctions between bio-identicals and synthetics. And, whether it changes your mind about HRT or not, still, education is power!
In this article, Dr. Marianne Brandon, PhD, a clinical psychologist and sex therapist, attempts to lay to rest the misconception that as we enter midlife, our interest in sex dies. It’s easy to understand why this myth persists since our youth-obsessed culture perpetuates this idea.
Dr. Brandon says it’s true that our libido undergoes changes, but for most of us, our sexuality is still alive and well, thank you! If your libido is good and healthy, this article may expand the way you think about it. If you’re having low libido issues, it will give you hope.
What's Underneath "I Don't Have Time To Exercise."
Ugh, how many times do I resolve to go to the gym to lift some weights and not go? Too many times to count. It’s all in the name of doing weight bearing exercise which the experts say us women of a certain age need to do. I’ve never liked lifting weights and now even though I know I should, I don’t.
Well, Dr. Michelle Segar PhD in this article explains my lack of success and zings right in on that ‘should’ thing I just mentioned as the source of my trouble. Dr. Segar focuses specifically on midlife women and their issues around weight, health and exercise and she has zeroed right in here on an issue that we’re all too likely to fall into.
