Middle-age spread seems to be a depressing fact of life for anyone over 40. It’s as if a fat switch flicks on when you reach midlife and suddenly everything you eat lands up on your tummy.

He claims midlife spread in both men and women is the result of hormonal imbalance, specifically too little progesterone and too much oestrogen. And the problem with too much oestrogen is that the hormone acts like a fat magnet, locking it in around your middle.

On my daughter’s fourth birthday, a swim party in 2002, my youngest sister showed up late in an outfit befitting a weekend rager: ratty black jeans, a threadbare camisole and a long-sleeved voile blouse in dingy white.
“It’s the closest thing I had to a bathing suit,” she told me skittishly, before wandering off to smoke a Camel.
Then, she disappeared for two hours. She reappeared only when everyone had left, running to us across a field, so skinny her bones seemed to rattle.

Wild yam is one of the heart-shaped leaf plants for which I have an affinity. Something about seeing its whorl of perfect green hearts with deep, defining veins, yellowing in the fall, twirling up trees and over logs, warms my own heart. Favorite places for wild yam to grow in Athens are in Oconee Forest Park behind the intramural fields and at Sandy Creek Nature Center.

Female hormones are potent modulators of brain chemicals, neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. The utility of bio-identical hormonal replacement therapy commonly practiced by anti-aging physicians not only improves the quality of life in female patients, it also prevents unnecessary depression, anxiety and insomnia disorders all of which cause subsequent addiction.

HORMONE levels may begin to change in your 30s, as you enter perimenopause, the interval in which your body begins its transition into menopause. In the years leading up to menopause, small hormonal imbalances can exist, so by the time menopause begins, you may have already experienced close to 20 years of hormonal imbalance.

Whenever journalists, radio hosts or TV reporters interview me, they ask me what I mean by the phrase “Sugar Shock.”
I’ve given this considerable thought, because I spent years researching and writing my book “Sugar Shock!.”
Here’s how I define Sugar Shock:
SUGAR SHOCK™ is a mood-damaging, personality-bending, health-destroying, confusion-creating constellation of symptoms affecting millions of people worldwide, who often turn to processed sweets and much-like-sugar carbs, which send their blood sugar levels wildly soaring and plummeting. These people are suffering from what they may call sugar addiction or carbohydrate addiction.

I just got reacquainted with Skin Nutrition’s Cell CPR after buying a replacement bottle and was reminded that amongst its 70-odd ingredients is wild yam. This jumped out at me because a friend had just emailed me a couple of links about wild yam and controversial claims that it can harness hormones to relieve symptoms of menopause, cure arthritis and even enlarge breasts. Sounds like a little Truth In Aging perspective is in order.
