I prepared this video for some friends who asked me about whether they should use HRT. It seemed that other women may find the video useful as well. There are obviously a lot of reasons to be hesitant about HRT, but some of them are based on grave misunderstandings, even by health care practitioners. Women need to understand the difference between different types of HRT, including bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, why hormones are important in the body, and why time is of the essence in their decision whether or not to use HRT.

Most of us, admittedly, are addicted to our morning coffee. And maybe to several afternoon cups as well. It’s also true for many of us that we’ve heard coffee isn’t great for our health, and that we should consider cutting back. While the debate will no doubt continue as to whether coffee is good or bad for our health, this study, at least, is good news for those who can’t go a day without it.

Rumpled, sweaty bed sheets in the middle of the night are often portrayed in movies as a pleasant innuendo to a fun s*xual romp. However, for many people, they are an unfortunate reminder that something is amiss physically, as fun-filled action was not the cause of the soaked mess. Night sweats can be not only uncomfortable but embarrassing, and as a result, many people don’t report them as a complaint to their doctors.
