Persistence over time is the key to unlock new skills. It’s rarely a “one and done” effort. Especially in your 50s. Keep trying. Improvements happen slowly. #thegeriatricgymnast #thisis53 #handstands

The reality of perimenopause: it just gets harder to maintain a healthy weight as the years pass, as the hormones wane, and as I go out and do more adult-y things (like eating at restaurants). This article is about my decision to try the GLP-1 route.
GLP-1 and me
I've written plenty about my health/nutrition/weight maintenance experience as a woman steeped in perimenopause. The reality: it just gets harder to keep up as the years pass, as the hormones wane, and as I go out and do more adult-y things (like eating at restaurants). This article is about my decision to try the GLP-1 route. During the summer, I went to all my yearly doctor checkups: internist, gynecologist, and endocrinologist.

What I Learned From Genetic Testing
Genetic testing for cancer markers feels like a big deal. It's like walking a tightrope of wanting and not wanting to know what the future might hold. This is my experience.

I found an old blog post I wrote when my kids were young. It made me yearn for the days when they were small, discovering, and exploring the world through their smaller eyes. It recalls one of those lovely moments that are so easy to forget. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to write it down.

Looking back at an old blog I had when my kids were young, I found this gem of a post. It almost makes me yearn for the days when my kids were small, discovering, and exploring the world through their smaller eyes. It recalls one of those lovely moments that are so easy to forget. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to write it down.
