Got Symptoms? Any Symptoms?

Got Symptoms? Any Symptoms?

If you’re experiencing symptoms in your body, no matter what they are… allergies, digestive problems, headaches, even hormonal symptoms, then you’re dealing with a level of toxicity in your body that needs clearing out. Symptoms are not normal....
Meditation Made Easy

Meditation Made Easy

You probably feel like you should meditate, but do you skip it because it’s just too hard? Who can sit still for 5 minutes, let alone 20 or 30? I get it because I used to struggle meditating as well. I have found ways to make it easier, so I want to share them with...
Resolutions Smesolutions

Resolutions Smesolutions

It’s that time of year again, where we sheepishly try to make up for our holiday debauchery with a solid intention to turn over a new leaf… tomorrow. That’s it, tomorrow is a new day, a new year and gosh darn it, we’re going to undo our holiday habits, heck all of...
Cycle Madness in Menopause

Cycle Madness in Menopause

OMG, how much can one woman bleed?!? ***WARNING Graphic Content to follow!*** After 5 super-plus tampons backed up by 5 super-maxi pads, I began to wonder if anyone has ever bled out during her period. It suddenly hit me, this is the flooding I’ve read about. I’d been...
Stay Healthy Over the Holidays

Stay Healthy Over the Holidays

We’re almost into the home stretch of the holiday season now, just Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s to go. These last ones come fast and furious, right on top of each other. It can be hard to keep our heads above water between the overindulging, busyness, money...
Weight Gain in Menopause

Weight Gain in Menopause

Just tried on my new ski pants, size 10, and they’re uncomfortably tight! What happened to being a 6 Tall? Granted that was probably a nicotine-induced skinniness, but geez, size 10 ski pants cut off my circulation when I get into a tuck skiing. Harsh! Let’s talk...
Flu Fighters

Flu Fighters

I saw in the newspaper last week that the flu has officially arrived in Aspen, so I thought let’s talk flu fighters (not Foo Fighters) today! How do we protect ourselves and boost our immune systems to kick the flu’s behind before it kicks our butts?...
Hormonal Insomnia

Hormonal Insomnia

I went to sleep before 8:30 last night, 9 the night before and 8 a few nights back. Then slept in until at 9am (you read that right) my husband said, “I thought only teenagers did that.” I’m sleeping lots and lots right now because, like my teenage counterpart, I’m in...
Is This Menopause?

Is This Menopause?

When you need reader glasses to find the tab on your tampon wrapper, it’s probably time for menopause. This actually happened to me last week, and I thought you’d get a laugh out of the image of me literally asking my husband to bring me some readers after trying to...
Dryness (down there)

Dryness (down there)

Yep, I’m gonna use the “V” word and talk about vaginal dryness. I hear a lot of menopausal women sharing this uncomfortable and totally irritating complaint. It can be anything from annoying to downright debilitating and a serious sex life ruiner, that is if you even...
Brain Fog

Brain Fog

Brain fog is a common menopause complaint. Heck, it can be a big issue for lots of non-menopausers too! I naively thought I’d skipped that perimenopausal symptom, until I noticed I couldn’t quite grasp the words I wanted to say. Easy words like… glove, dinner, or...
Menopause: Round 4

Menopause: Round 4

I’m finding menopause symptoms come in waves. Sometimes I’m up on the crest feeling so good, scoffing menopause, and feeling I’ve got this symptom nonsense licked. Then suddenly a rouge wave comes out of nowhere, smacks me off my high perch, and I’m back down in the...
