Hormonology

08/16/2023

Welp, I did not plan to take an extended hiatus from Hormonology. A few months ago, I was preparing to make a big move that would help me write more Hormonology books and take on more Hormonology projects. That move was actually a physical one -- moving from my current home and home office to a new house and offsite office. But, in the midst of packing, I ended up having an accident that seriously injured my back. During a walk with my wonderful rescue dog, Chili, his anxiety got the better of him and he freaked out when a garbage truck (his most hated enemy!) unexpected came barreling at us out of a blind alley. He yanked me, wrenching my back, then dragged me about half a mile, resulting in my disc rupturing. I've spent the last few months lying flat in bed when I'm not actually up doing physical therapy.

BUT...I think the worst of it is behind me now! Between physical therapy and time, my back is healing and the pain is subsiding. And so my husband, Douglas, and I are packing for our move again!

I wanted to pop in and let you know now what's going on now that *I* know what's going on.

We're currently getting all the odds and ends done that are involved in selling a house. Then, we're headed from the beaches of Florida to the mountains of Tennessee!

I'll keep you posted as I know more! THANK YOU for all your support and patience!

Feeling tired? One culprit could be your hormones. Another: Low iron. I share my tips in a new article in The US Sun article by Tanith Carey!

IF you are constantly yawning and feeling tired all the time, you are far from alone. Unexplained tiredness is one of the most common reasons that people see their GP. According to a YouGov poll, 6…

A new CDC study found that nearly 60% of teen girls and nearly 70% of LGTBQIA+ youth are experiencing persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Many tools are needed to help, and menstrual cycle tracking is an important one. I explain why...

Depression in teen and LGTBQIA+ youths is at record highs. Period tracking is one important tool that can help.

And so it begins... Law enforcement in some parts of the U.S. will have legal rights to see your menstrual cycle tracker app data if they request it. I have warned about this privacy problem for years, and I'm hoping that if you live in an area where anyone other than you can demand access to your period tracking app that you switch to paper today. I have created my Hormonology Menstrual Cycle Tracker Journal (available at Amazon), which is a paperback tracking journal that you can use, but you can also use a notebook or dot graph ("bullet") journal. Then find a great hiding place for it. It's sad I have to dispense this advice, but here we are. Vote like your menstrual privacy depends on it....

Gov. Glenn Youngkin opposed a bill shielding data stored on period-tracking apps from law enforcement, which led to the measure being tabled.

Did not expect tears about retiring my apps! But, yes, there were a few. Today I'll be processing the end of the Hormonology app era. But, honestly, I've got so much Hormonology stuff coming down the pike that I don't have a lot of time to waste. And I've been working on a lot of behind-the-scenes moves to make all the future Hormonology work happen more quickly and easily. So, there's still a lot to do! THANK YOU to everyone who has reached out to me sharing how my Hormone Horoscope and Female Forecaster apps have changed your lives. Your heartfelt words have meant the world to me. 🫶

TODAY IS THE DAY. This is the LAST day you can download my Hormone Horoscope or Female Forecaster apps. On Sunday, January 15, 2023, they are being permanently retired.

If you have the apps on your device now, they will not be deleted. But, you will not be able to download these apps from the App Store or Google Play.

I have NOT sold, licensed or given my Hormone Horoscope app content (the daily Hormone Horoscopes that give you a summary of your daily hormonal effects) to any other company or person. If you see an app offering Hormonology or Hormone Horoscopes, it's entirely unauthorized. I own the trademarks to the names Hormonology and Hormone Horoscope, so no one else has the right to use them. (If you find an app offering my content or using my trademarked names, please let me know.)

The good news? You can still find all the same Hormone Horoscopes you've loved in my apps in my book, 28 Days: What Your Cycle Reveals About Your Moods, Health & Potential, and you can track your cycle in my Hormonology Menstrual Cycle Tracker Journal, which are both available at Amazon.

More good news? My apps are retiring, but I am not! I will be releasing more Hormonology books, videos and other doodads that I'm sure you're going to love.

THANK YOU for all your support of my Hormonology apps over the many years they've been around. I appreciate all your input and feedback, and all the many emails and messages I've received from you letting me know how much they've helped you and those you love. Hopefully, my books will help you even more!

By January 15, 2023, I will be permanently retiring all Hormonology apps including the Hormone Horoscope app and Female Forecaster app.

BIG reminder: I will be retiring all of my Hormonology apps by January 15, 2023. (To clear up any misunderstanding, *I* am not retiring--you can still get all of my Hormonology books at Amazon and I'll be releasing more!)

I'm only retiring my Hormone Horoscope and Female Forecaster apps. If you have not downloaded them yet, you have a few days to get them. If you have already downloaded them, they will not be removed from your device, but they will not be updated after January 15.

By January 15, 2023, I will be permanently retiring all Hormonology apps including the Hormone Horoscope app and Female Forecaster app.

Going through perimenopause and have bothersome symptoms, such as anxiety, mood changes, insomnia, hot flashes, night sweats and aches?

According to two new U.S. surveys, 86% of perimenopausal women who've used ma*****na in the past are using it now to treat their symptoms. And, more surprisingly, 64% of women who've never used cannabis would try it to ease their cycle-related symptoms, too.

Ever notice that on some days you race toward an adorable puppy faster or jump away from a scary snake more quickly? A new study in the journal Brain Sciences reveals that how quickly you approach something good and back away from something bad depends on where you are in your menstrual cycle!

Where you are in your menstrual cycle can impact how much you miss a current romantic partner or a love from your past. That's because the ups and downs of hormones affect your mood, independence, sentimentality and other factors that tap into feelings of longing. Here's what you could expect during each week of your cycle....

Every once in awhile, my husband, Douglas, will have to leave home for a few days to attend some function, visit a relative or for another reason. And my
