Are you having a fabulous menopause? Menopause: If your husband is smiling and nodding at everything you say, your lap dog has chosen another lap, you can’t remember where you put that… oh, that “thing”, and you have a brilliant idea to invent an electric cooling blanket -if they can do it with heat, why can’t they do it with cold? - you may be in perimenopause. Nursing Menopause is the right place for you.
On the other hand, you may be one of the many lucky ones who barely feels any different. Research has shown that many women experience the postmenopausal phase as one of the best times of their lives. Perhaps it's because this is the time to focus a little more on ourselves, our goals and dreams. I'll bet you can't wait. I'm Glenda de Vries. I've worked as a Registered Nurse on the cancer ward, in nursing homes, in rehabilitation and psychiatry. Nurses look at the biological, psychological, social and spirtual aspects of the person. In other words, we look at not only the symptoms or the "illness" (more on that term later), but rather, how you are personally affected. I've tried to incorporate this knowledge here. This site features advice similar to that given by the Canadian Menopause Society (but then in much more detail) that lifestyle changes really can make a difference in your menopausal symptoms. Take a look at my recipes featuring phytoestrogens to improve your symptoms, or read about the top ten ways to get that flat belly, how fitness can reduce your symptoms or read about attitude changes such as laughter, meditation and gratitude and how these can have profound results. If you are looking for answers to your menopausal questions, go to my Questions link on the navigation bar. Or, better yet, ask your own question. Sometimes, even when you've made the very best lifestyle changes you may still find you need some additional support with natural remedies. You may go to my shopping link to see the featured products. I really do not recommend swallowing pregnant horse urine, by the way. I would love to hear from you to learn what is and isn't working. We can all benefit from our shared knowledge. If you like this site, please go to the top left hand corner and subscribe to the RSS feed to receive updated information. I promise to let you know about anything that's pertinent. I apologize in advance if you think the subtle humor I've tried to add to this site isn't really funny. Welcome, and please come along for your magnificent menopausal ride!
