Hi Neighbor!
I took an inadvertent trip down memory lane recently while on vacation, and it left me with such warm and fuzzies.
We were on our annual escape to middle-of-nowhere Maine, and we had some early afternoon drizzle one day. After some grumbling as we drug ourselves off the lake for a little bit of indoor downtime, I wandered to the game shelf and my rainy-afternoon spirits lifted. There, in it’s very old and weathered box with taped corners and a sunken lid, was one of my favorite games from my childhood – LIFE.

Hormonal Help for Hot Flashes
Summer heat has been raging as of late which makes great fuel for your hot flash fires. Some of the ways we look to dampen these hormonal flames are with tools nature provides.
A clinically proven rhubarb extract called Estrovera™ is one such tool. It is a non- hormonal approach in tablet form that reduces the occurrence of hot flashes in as little as 30 days. The extract, also known as ERr 731, has been featured in multiple JAMA studies. Another invaluable ingredient is the herb Maca. A patented extract called MacaGO® that is featured in the product MacaPause® has been clinically proven to support hormone balance. In my experience recommending the product to menopausal women, reports of decreased hot flashed, improved energy and sleep, and weight loss are very common.
When these over-the-counter options no longer provide relief in some of our customer base, we often consult with them and their physicians about the benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. This gives a customized approach that is unique to each female patient based on their symptoms, medical history, and family history.
Next month, we will look further at this topic and debunk some of the longstanding negative myths about BHRT. Until then, be well, healthy & happy.

A cornerstone of modern American theatre
Austin is a straitlaced screenwriter on the verge of selling his next script. His brother Lee is a blustering drifter just back from three months in the Mojave desert. When Lee charms his way into Austin’s movie deal, they begin to transform into each other in a conflict that crescendos into chaos. A finalist for the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, True West is a wry exploration of duality, masculinity, and the mythos of the American west.
