About Me View My Posts
In this fast-paced, dog-eat-dog world we live in, super-achievers often find themselves at the top of the heap in their professions. They're the ones who eat, breathe and sleep their jobs, race out of the house, briefcase and PDA in hand, occasionally a quick kiss to the spouse and kid on the way out.

In a recent Time Magazine article, the report from decades of research is that marriage helps both men and women live longer and healthier. But if you read the full story, you find that for women the caveat is this: the marriage must be good for her in order for her to experience the health benefits. The biggest factor? How much your relationship causes your brain to trigger the release of the stress... 2/22/2008 7:12:09 AM

Getting Sick

About Me View My Posts
I am just recuperating from 2 weeks of nasty cold and sinus infection. Yuck! I can't tell you how much it slowed me down. And if you know moms (especially moms who work), we can't afford to slow down. But it occurred to me that maybe just maybe my body is smarter than I am. Just for a couple of weeks, I didn't workout (often) and I didn't wake up at 5:00 a.m. and work late every night like I usually... 2/20/2008 8:00:00 AM

by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
I get a lot of email that is very similar. "Ok, I've got hypogonadism, now what do I do?" "My doctor says that menopause is normal but I can't have sex anymore! How is that normal?" "Why do I need testosterone, I don't want to look like a man." "I don't want to change what nature meant to be, but I am miserable and can't sleep" "My wife is afraid of getting breast cancer so she would rather be miserable... 2/12/2008 1:30:10 PM

Reprinted from the 02/06/08 issue of Trilogy Wellness Foundations. Visit http://www.trilogy-wellness.com to claim your free issues ;-). The negative press about cardiovascular or "aerobic" exercise has been increasing for some time. What began as a healthy trend away from hours upon hours of body pounding aerobic insanity, has morphed into "cardio bashing" by many fitness experts. I've even read articles... 2/12/2008 11:45:08 AM

We already know bio-identical is better for treating menopause
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
Believe it or not, your doctor already knows that bio-identical hormones are better for you because your doctor is already using bio-identical hormones to treat other patients with hormone deficiencies. Your doctor knows that diabetics are primarily treated with bio-identical insulin replacement. Your doctor knows that thyroid deficiency patients are primarily treated with bio-identical hormone replacement.... 1/27/2008 9:06:44 PM
