Hi Reader, "Why did you lock the house?" My Dad sternly said through broken-up cell reception as I flew down Snoqualmie Pass keeping up the the past of traffic at 80 MPH in the slow lane. 🙄 "Because we were both supposed to be gone for a day and a half. I wanted the house to be secured. Don't you have a key?" I asked equally frustrated because my Dad's tone took me from almost 45 years old to about 6 in 30 seconds or less. "No, I don't have a key!" He bellowed. "I'll have to climb over the deck railing." Anxiety flooded my body. My 81-year-old Dad was about to climb a ladder to our second-story deck and attempt to throw his 81-year-old legs over a 4-foot-tall railing to break into our house. 🫨 Sound familiar? It might be if you're concerned about insulin resistance and pre-diabetes like many women I work with. Insulin resistance is the second most common concern I hear from women 40+. They want to know…

Hi Reader, Constipation, gas, heartburn, random diarrhea - what is your 💩 telling you? Digestive upset is one of the most common, but least talked about, symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Why? Poo is a taboo subject for most women - unless it relates to the latest influencer detox supplement for a "youthful glow" or GLP-1 medications. We don't talk enough about how hormones affect digestion. Think about the last time you had a regular menstrual cycle. You were probably a little (or a...
”I just decided, at this moment, to throw a Fall open house and make soup!” T announced in an early-morning post-walk text. I love a good walking brainstorm! ”I’m going to make soup with whatever I can harvest from my garden. Everyone can bring something to share from their harvest too - a sprig of herb, the hidden zucchini, whatever they have!? ”Delicious idea!” I texted back. ”I don’t have a harvest, BUT I’ll make something with apples from M’s harvest, and I’ll bring homemade bread. Can’t...
"I know I should be eating more vegetables and salads. And I do if someone else makes them for me or I'm eating out. But otherwise I buy the salad stuff or the vegetables, and they just sit in my fridge until I get around to composting them." Erin said Can you relate Reader?
