I have learned so much about my own health and hormones levels in the last year while building this DVD, &#8220;Blitzed by Menopause&#8221; and I would like to share a few tips with those of you encountering mid life and menopause.<\/p>\n<p>My appetite of late has been insatiable. When I was pregnant, I was told I actually had a condition called &#8220;Insatiable Appetite&#8221;&#8230;and with this condition, I gained over 65 lbs. with my first baby 85 lbs. with my second. I was starving all the time and could not feel the sensation of fullness&#8230;even after single handedly consuming a large pizza! The minute my babies were born, this condition ceased&#8230;except for a couple days during my cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Hormones!!<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So now I am in a menopausal hormonal holocaust and the condition is back. I went to see Dr. Tori Hudson who prescribed progesterone in a pill form, along with my estrogen patch, some other herbal menopause remedy and viola! I feel back to myself! Great energy and I am not starving continually, plus when I do eat, I feel sated!<\/p>\n<p>Ladies, if you are experiencing odd hormonal symptoms, HRT is completely safe and for the most comprehensive presentation on the subject, Dr. Hudson addresses this on our DVD. It&#8217;s not worth suffering. Life is too short!<\/p>\n<p>One more thing I just learned. I was recently diagnosed with osteopeania. Bone loss and a step before osteoperosis. While I have been taking calcium for years, I was deficient in vitamin D which helps to absorb the calcium.<\/p>\n<p>I read a great book, &#8220;The Vitamin D Cure&#8221;, adjusted my vitamin D intake and let me tell you, I have a remarkable difference in my energy levels, am sleeping much better, my moods have improved and I know I can now arrest the bone loss as the calcium is being better absorbed. I take it in a liquid form under my tongue.<\/p>\n<p>I am learning more as time goes on and have not felt this great in a long time!<\/p>\n<p>More to come&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh my goodness!
