I was talking to a beloved friend of mine about hormone replacement therapy, and I felt it was time to express my thoughts about it
If you are in the transition years leading up to menopause or if you are within 10 years of menopause (defined as going 12 months without a period) then this post will benefit you
During my medical school and residency training, we were taught to offer HRT to every woman as that was the ethical thing to do to protect all women from heart disease, and osteoporosis. Everything came to a halt in 2000 when the Womens Health study came out. We were then told that HRT is a demon and that we were permanently harming a woman if we prescribed HRT.
A lot has changed since then, and the pendulum has swung to the middle where HRT is definitely something to consider if you are in the above mentioned category.
My humble request to all of you is that you deserve a thorough discussion with your GYN to conduct a risk benefit analysis and thus determine whether HRT is an option for you or not. There are many reputable sites on the Internet that can offer you this information so you can arm yourself with this knowledge before you have this discussion with your gynecologist.
You as the captain of your ship/body have the final decision on whether you want to start HRT or not.
Let me know if you want me to discuss this further in future posts. I know there is so much confusion regarding HRT.

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.

I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.

If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month.

That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact).

And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.

Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer.

But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.

Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!

Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.

Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.

99% of people won't Cut and Paste this to their timelines. Will you?

Please, for the sake of our country, Copy & Paste. It's important. Then type Done!✅

Hello
As modern medicine has helped practically eliminate infectious diseases and is making very good progress towards lifestyle modifying ailments like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, CANCER remains a harder issue to tackle.
While genetics plays a significant control in a lot of the cancers there is a lot we can do to build cancer-resisting habits, not just for today, but also for our future.
Let’s keep it simple:
Drinking smart - choosing water over sugary drinks and limiting the alcohol consumption. For women one serving of alcohol is considered a 4 ounce portion per day. High amounts can increase our risk for cancers of breast, food pipe mouth and throat.
Measure portions- healthy weight decreases the percentage of body fat, which can help decrease the risk of some female cancers. Limiting the intake of red meats and choosing plant foods over processed foods may help reduce the incidence of colon polyps and colon cancer. Incidentally, the incidence of colon cancer is rising in the younger population such that the current recommendations for colon cancer screening have been reduced from age 50 to age 45.
Get moving - 30 minutes a day of any physical activity is all you need to make a significant impact on your health and risk reduction for cancer.
And finally, my favorite- our emotional and mental well-being. Surrounding yourself by positivity and people that boost your spirits, and your mood is critical for all diseases, including cancer.
So think hard about what are the areas in your life that you can make a difference and do better. Small changes in the above can have major impacts long-term.
I am making a commitment to improving my physical activity on a daily basis.
Tell me what you are going to do to help yourself… because the more you know! ‼️

Hello y’all!
Do you feel a ‘spring’ in your step? (pun intended)
As the weather is getting warmer, I am hearing more and more of our feathery friends, especially in the early morning hours, when the rest of the world has not awakened yet.
Came across this video of different birds, singing their characteristic songs. Just a little something to add to the spring in your footsteps. Enjoy!
How many of these are familiar to you?
Do let me know below…

Good morning
I have always believed that the mind is more powerful than the body. Growing up, my mom would often quote- as you believe, so you think; as you think, so you act; as you act, so you become!
I truly feel that our physical wellness is greatly influenced by our mental and emotional well-being, and the two are not separate compartments, but uniquely influenced by each other!
I recently came across this study that looked at about 50 stroke survivors and measured their inflammatory markers in the blood as well as optimism scores. This study found that higher optimism scores showed lower levels of inflammatory markers and that these patients recovered more effectively.
In the short term, they also had less physical disability.
Although this was a small study and only studied in stroke patients, this can be extrapolated to other inflammatory processes in our bodies.
The take away from this is that we allow optimism and positivity in our thoughts and daily living! While negative thoughts are natural, and to a certain extent protective we make sure it does not become the overwhelming sentiment in our minds.
I have five items in my armory that never fails to improve my mood-they include my favorite quotes, my favorite pictures of my friends and family, images of nature, your beautiful comments, and instrumental music.
What do you have in your mental armory?
Have a satisfying Saturday! 😊🤩

Hello folks,
Coming to you on a cold morning with snow piled up all around us. The sun is trying to peek through and warm, our hearts and souls.

Came across this and felt a need to share it with you! Two simple lines that carry so much meaning.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Good morning Folks
January is over already!
I am sure, many of you, including me made resolutions in 2026. A lot of of them probably included getting healthier and fitter.
It’s now February 2026. How are those resolutions going? Yes, I hear you.
Kudos to those who have kept up those resolutions!
I came across this video and it resonated with me, inspiring me to get back to my resolutions and try harder. I have to admit I definitely feel better physically and emotionally on the days that I am more active.
So come join me as we resolve to just keep moving every day. Every little effort is rewarded and it does not have to be a marathon or a race. If you have been sitting for more than 30 minutes then remember to get up and move for a few minutes. Just a few minutes.
I will update you regarding my progress and I would love to hear back from you.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
!
