    Lend me your ears....you have your own DAY! In the U.S. we give you a month. But the world gives you a day!  And it's TODAY!  I wrote this rant last  year and it's still so appropriate that I thought I'd repost it. I wish I could laugh about it. Because as my Twitter friend @lilpecan wrote me yesterday: "Who doesn't enjoy a little menopause humour? (No, really? Who doesn't? Because I'll kill them.)" (Gotta love that, right?!)  Read more >

    Sound familiar? Results of a global survey (conducted by the Boston Consulting Group) suggest that women are more overworked, overextended, overstressed and undeserved than ever. In fact, time demands are the number one challenge that women face in their lives. Key findings include:  Read more >

    More news on the hormone therapy horizon. Not only has HRT  been shown to increase breast cancer risk and death from lung cancer, but now researchers are reporting that it also increases the risk of ovarian cancer. Wow – three’s a charm, eh? And yet, many in the medical community continues to support its use in perimenopausal and menopausal women.  Read more >

    Since I’ve embarked on this blog, I’ve run across numerous studies and articles discussing sexual dysfunction and the lack of/declining sexual desire in women entering midlife and menopause. I’ve written quite a few posts about data that suggest that ingesting hormones can help to reverse  Read more >

    The other day, a screenwriter friend of mine told me that her script had been rejected. The primary reason: Hollywood does not love middle-aged women; they're a tough sell. In fact, the general belief among the studio mogols is that women moviegoers don't make movies successful. Okay, I'm not entirely surprised because our society doesn't particularly like or admire or respect middle-aged women, instead, espousing the benefits of youth in just about every area of commerce. But let me clue the studios and marketers to something:  Read more >

    [Cross posted on Flashfree]   I've written  a number of posts lately about bioidentical and synthetic hormones. Hence, I am very happy to feature a guest post by compounding pharmacist and blogger Peter Kushland, on the distinction between the two. Please welcome Peter. And stop by his blog - The Compounder's Forum;  it's terrific!  Read more >

    Have I got your attention now? Hope so. 'I've said it before and I'll say it again.  More times than those two and a half men can sing "men." It's. Not. All. About. You. Here's some information from an earlier post: There’s a misnomer going around (can a misnomer go around?). It’s called “male menopause.” Now mind you, I’ve got no beef with da guyz but to call a gradual decline in testosterone “menopause,” seems a bit extreme. So, what’s the buzz about?  Read more >
