Womenopause–Stop Pausing and Start Living

womenopause

Womenopause by Lovera Wolf Miller,MD FACOG NCMP and David C Miller, MD DABPM NCMP is a new look at menopause and all the symptoms and problems women face with it. It tells in easy to understand language what causes it, why it happens, and what to do about it. The book is full of case studies of women who have experienced the symptoms of menopause, and what they did to make it better.

I was especially interested in learning about the different dietary needs of women who have gone through menopause, and what supplements to take. I went through menopause in about three days back in 1996 when I had a complete hysterectomy, and have not experienced hot flashes or the mood changes since then, but I know lots of women who suffer tremendously with their menopause.

With chapters on Testing, Food, Exercise, Vitamins and Minerals, Hormone Therapy and Breast Cancer Prevention among others, I found it to be a well- rounded book full of good information.  The Resources section at the back of the book lists loads of books and websites for more information.

Lovera graduated with honors in Biology from Andrews University in Michigan, and obtained her medical degree from Loma Linda University School of Medicine in Loma Linda, California. David graduated from Purdue University with a degree in English and obtained a Masters degree in physiology from the University of California in Riverside. He studied neurophysiology for a PhD at the Brain Research Institute at UCLA. Together they form a great team to write this book about menopause, and give lots of information on a subject many women need to learn more about.

Wellgate for Women Braces

When I was asked to try out a  Wellgate’s for Women Ultra Lite Knee Support, I gladly said “YES!”  I have trouble with my knees when I walk or stand a lot, so this was something I have been thinking about for a while. With spring coming up, there will be more opportunities to get out and exercise, and this knee brace will help me keep at it.

Wellgate’s Ultra Lite Knee Support is more than functional. It is made for women, and is somewhat attractive for a product of its type. It is made of a soft, breathable fabric that makes wearing it more comfortable. The Queen size is truly a fit for larger women like me, and fits women up to six feet tall and 270 pounds.

The Wellgate for Women Ultra Lite Knee Support has a control top for a smooth fit on the upper thigh, and has a non-slip band on the inside so it doesn’t slide down like some other braces do. It doesn’t feel constrictive or too tight like some other braces I have tried. I was able to wear it all day without feeling uncomfortable.

In addition to the Women’s Ultra Lite Knee Support (available in regular and Queen sizes), the line includes Women’s High Performance Knee Supports, Women’s Slimfit Wrist Support, and Women’s Slimfit Ankle Supports. The Women’s Ultra Knee Support retails for about $17.

The give away will be open for entries until March 1, 2010 at 11:59 p.m.
