So I am sitting in front of my computer and thinking hmmm what shall I write about for my blog this week? I have been blogging about menopause and some of the signs and symptoms for about two or three years now. What I realized though is that it was just information and not really personal. I don’t think I told you personally how menopause really affects your life and those who love you.
I was told by the doctors when I was a teenager that due to my uterus being so titled that I would never have children. Hmmm…3 children later…well, that wasn’t truth huh? I gained 60 pounds with my first son, 60 pounds with my second son (yeah I really thought I would do better the second time) and it took me a year to lose that weight with Weight Watchers. I then became a facilitator teaching the class. I loved their program and with my third son I was on their pregnancy program and kept my weight to a healthy 28 pounds. I went back to my lifetime goal within 10 months.
But then something strange started and I was having crazy cycles, uncontrollable mood swings, hot flashes, cravings beyond and the weight gain seemed like overnight! It was like an alien invaded my body and didn’t want to leave. And to top all that off I was 36 so the doctors kept telling me you’re too young for perimenopause just keep trying harder.
My holistic journey started years before this with my husband’s migraines from his broken neck C-4 in 1986. It just made me go wider into natural medicine as I knew I wanted to heal my body with a natural process. I have such a sensitive system that all medications affect me adversely most of the time. I love what I do. I love the research and the learning of new ways to heal. I love that I get to help others heal their bodies. I love the stories that I hear when they go back to the doctors and get that baffled look because the labs are coming back normal. You see I am a Coach, instructor and public speaker who happens to be passionate about women’s health and I am truly blessed each time I get to share my expertise with others!
