    10 Ways to Prevent Osteoporosis Now!

    November 17, 2019 /

    How to Prevent Osteoporosis post may contain affiliate links as a service to readers. According to the American Orthopaedic Association, more than 30 million Americans have a pronounced risk for developing osteoporosis, or low bone density. So, learning how to prevent osteoporosis should be top of mind for many people. Although women over the age of 65 are more likely to develop osteoporosis, this serious health problem affects men as well, and impacts nearly 10 million adults in the United States. In Canada, those statistics are also high. Two million Canadians are affected by osteoporosis. An estimated 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will suffer an osteoporotic…

    Caesarian Sections Linked to Chronic Pain

    March 19, 2018 /

    Could a C section give you chronic pain? New research indicates Caesarian sections can carry a host of long term side effects that you might not be aware of. C-section scars have the potential to negatively impact women’s health and quality of life long after giving birth. C-sections occur for various reasons. Sometimes C-sections are medically necessary. Perhaps, a mother cannot deliver her baby due to a small birth canal. If vaginal birth is deemed to be too risky to the baby, a C-section might be scheduled to remove baby quickly. Scheduled elective C-sections sometimes also take place. What many women don’t know is that caesarian sections can actually lead to chronic…

    What to Expect When You’re Turning 50

    January 11, 2018 /

    Turning 50 is a huge milestone birthday. These days it seems like a lot of my friends are turning 50, or getting close. I’m not far off from 50 myself, and this year I have started recognizing this means physical changes. Nothing surprised me so much as when my metabolism changed dramatically at 40. So, since I’m interested in what’s going to start happening to me and what I should do, I figure a lot of other soon-to-be-50 ladies will be interested, as well. What to Expect When You’re Expecting the Big 5-Oh As women age, we experience changes in our bodies. These changes can lead to everything from a…

    Embracing Caregivers #CareforaCarer

    November 13, 2017 /

    Are you a caregiver for someone with unique needs or health care challenges? I see you. I know you miss many social events, or family gatherings. Perhaps you stopped work entirely to care for someone you love. Or you switched to part time, freelance or contract. Chances are good you have missed your own doctor’s and dentist’s appointments. Maybe, you woke up so bone weary one morning you drove down the street without your glasses. Maybe you forgot to take your own medicine. How do I know any of this? Been there, done that. For years my life has been health care triage. Juggling an overwhelming number of specialist’s appointments,…

    Four Tips to Help Ditch This Annoying Itch #ChurchandDwight

    July 20, 2017 /

    After the winter months, let’s face it we all crave a bit of sun and warm patio weather. But, did you know that yeast infections can occur more frequently in summer months? Yes, you read that right. For many women, the warmer temperature brings an increased risk of the“itch” that nobody likes to talk about – yeast infections. Not so surprisingly, yeast infections affect a lot of women. Approximately five per cent of women experience reoccurring yeast infections (3 to 4 infections in the last year)[1]. And I have met maybe 1-2 women n my life who have never had a yeast infection. But nobody likes to talk about them or…

    Frank Talk About Women’s Health Issues #NoShame #ad

    This post is sponsored by Bayer. To make sure these products are right for you, always read and follow the label. If you ever visit this space then you know I am nothing if not frank and honest regarding women’s health issues. Whether it’s infertility or menopause, menstruation, or digestive issues, I have no qualms sharing personal stories. Sometimes telling your story helps someone else understand they are not alone.   Many women’s health issues and symptoms are swept under the carpet, even still in 2017. Women and men can often be reluctant, even embarrassed, to discuss health issues, especially intimate health. Sometimes it’s those conversations you don’t want to have that…

    Prepare for a Healthy Baby Now – When Genetic Screening Makes Sense

    September 21, 2016 /

    “I don’t care if this baby is a boy or a girl. I just hope he or she is healthy.” Almost every parent, or parent to be has uttered out loud, or thought to themselves, some version of this sentiment. Healthy baby first. Gender second. So what would you do to stack the deck in favour of having a healthy child? Eat better, exercise? Some of these changes are a no brainer. But what about genetic screening before you get pregnant? When does that make sense? Most of us know there are many things you do to help grow a healthy baby once you get pregnant, but how about before…

    Stay Fit for Your Fabulous Forties and Beyond #LBL

    June 1, 2016 /

    It’s important to stay fit at any age. It’s even more important for us women after we hit our 40s. After 40, our metabolisms can begin to slow, our ability to burn fat can slow, and we lose more bone mass. Sometimes conditions like LBL (light bladder leakage) can keep you from feeling as if you want to tackle anything physical. But when we make an effort to stay fit as we age, we improve our physical, mental and overall health.   Stay Fit – 5 Easy Ways to Keep Yourself in Better Health   Staying fit doesn’t mean you have to commit to being a full on gym rat every…

    Menopause Series – Part 3 – The Bright Side of Menopause

    March 30, 2016 /

    Perimenopause and menopause might still fill you with anxiety and concern over bizarre symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, memory, bladder and libido changes. And while you’ll probably experience some or all of these to one degree or another, there is also a bright side to menopause. I don’t want anyone to finish this series dreading the thought of menopause or worrying over ever talking about this naturally occurring phenomenon in women’s lives. In fact the more we talk about menopause the better it is in my opinion. We have talked about Perimenopause in Part 1 of this series.

    Taryn and Tyler’s Infertility Story – #abhc4ivf

    May 1, 2014 /

    This is the story of Taryn and Tyler, both members of Generations of Hope infertility patient advocacy group, in Alberta. It is the story of how a girl Taryn, learned at the age of 14 that she didn’t have a uterus and would need extraordinary measures to help her become a parent, if ever she wished to have a family. There are too many stories of patients in Alberta with health conditions that have led to infertility. And yet this province remains one without any financial support for in vitro fertilization, which is one of the most effective but costly measures to help couples conceive. What hits me the hardest…
