Did you know that knee pain in midlife women can signal a systemic issue, and it isn't something you just have to "deal with"?

The common denominator isn't age, but hormones!

As women age, the decline of estrogen leads to less cushioning the joints, leading to pain and stiffness.

At TLC Medicine we address the pain as a symptom of the larger landscape of hormonal imbalance. This is often the missing link that other specialists tend to overlook.

Visit our blog to learn more about the impact of hormones on joint pain, and how booking with TLC Medicine can be your path to lasting relief!

TCM looks at the body as a balanced system, and dampness is a difficult imbalance to correct. Diet corrections and exercise help, but the key to lasting relief is visiting a Registered TCM practitioner (like me šŸ˜‰) who can consider your specific situation and provide customized herbal medicine!

Did you know that nearly 70% of Alzheimer's patients in Canada are women?

Research points to hormone changes in menopause as one of the key factors, and although there's no stopping that train, there are still things you can do to minimize your risk. Here are a few tips:

-Ensure you are getting adequate protein with every meal
-Keep your diet high in vitamin D3 and Omega 3 fatty acids (eggs, fish, nuts, seeds and legumes)
-Work out your brain with reading, puzzles or sudoku
-Try intentional exercise that connects your brain with your movement (like tai chi)

Try including some of these into your routine to take care of your future!
