Happy Friday All!

Since I hear Las Vegas calling my name to come out and play I’m going to make this post sort of short! The A4M Conference is going great; we listened to Patrick Savage, President of BodyLogicMD, make an amazing speech (learn more from the BodyLogicMD blog) yesterday and we’re headed out to some more seminars today.

Anyways, a couple weeks ago I introduced you to Pam H., a menopause maniac with a lot of spunk! She’s been so impressed with the result of bioidentical hormone therapy that she has referred many of her friends and even her sister to her BodyLogicMD physician in Phoenix, Dr. Eric Hottie, or sorry I mean Dr. Eric Honing (*wink wink*). Check him out here, don’t you agree?!?

Now, let me introduce you to Pam H.’s sister, Perri W. She started hormone replacement this past May because she was feeling just awful (now why does that sound familiar?!). Five months later, and Perri W. is enjoying relief from her symptoms of imbalanced hormones. She’s got her energy back, is losing weight, is less irritable, and she’s finally getting a good night’s sleep again! As always, it’s easier to let her tell you (plus I’ve got some gambling to do). I love that my family of bioidentical hormone sisters keeps growing!

I can’t wait to fill you all in on my exploits here, but what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! Have a great weekend, I know I will!

Hello to all my friends!

A few weeks ago I introduced you to my friend Ellen who was through the roof with perimenopause symptoms.  In the interest of our friendship I took her to see Dr. Lee to mellow her ass out!  She’s been on the bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for about five weeks now and she can’t thank me enough for referring her (I’m enjoying this Goddess-like pedestal she’s put me on!).

Anyways, I’ll let Ellen tell you in her own words how she’s feeling.  Enjoy!

Now that I’m under the hormone therapy wing of Dr. Lee I started reminiscing about the horrible menopause episodes I used to have with my sisters – one in particular comes to mind…

This is a prime example of my epic menopause bitchiness.

It was during the prime of my worst menopause symptoms – hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats – I was visiting my sister’s house. I was feeling so exhausted I could barely hold my head up during dinner. My sister said to me, “Hey, I bought you this scratch off lottery ticket. Maybe that will make you feel better!”

She tossed it at me and I thought, “Great, I can’t even scratch my own ass, I’ll be sure to get right on scratching this ticket!”

So, regardless of my relentless menopausal mood swing, I scratched off the ticket and I saw that I won TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. I immediately hid the ticket in my bra and started thinking about how to get out of my sister’s house and go claim my winnings. I just kept thinking I couldn’t tell her, or she’d TAKE MY MONEY!

She kept asking me to see the ticket and I kept saying no. Finally, after a full blown screaming match, she told me it was a fake ticket from a joke shop. It wasn’t real at all!! I immediately launched into hysterics, screaming louder, ready for a fight – and all my sister did was laugh.

Really nice to do to a homicidal, hormonally imbalanced woman.

Watch where you step sister, I’m still plotting my revenge.

A month or two ago, I would have told you my two biggest saviors in life were Ben and Jerry, and that they lived in a magical ice cream factory in Vermont.

Not anymore! Although I’m still partial to Phish food.

So, I finally bit the bullet and went to see a hormone therapy specialist for this menopause shit. I found some mentions about BodyLogicMD in Suzanne Somers’ books and I decided to contact them. They are a group of anti-aging physicians that deal only with hormonal issues. I was skeptical at first, but honestly, I feel like this could really help me.  I chose to go to Dr. Lee, who is located in Miami – near my home. Seriously, he is SO amazing, he is the first doctor I’ve met in years that I didn’t dream of killing in creative ways.

Before I went to the visit, I took a saliva test, so that he could tell what was going on with my hormones.

We took some videos during my visit, so that you guys could see what was going on.

Check out their hormone therapy Web site if you are interested. I’ll keep you all posted, promise!
