Who Am I And Why Is Feel Great After 50 Here?

Before you take advice from me, you need to know a little bit about me and why I built this site.

I was born in 1958 (and so, I am over 50). When I was about 42, I began peri-menopause. I had a full hysterectomy at age 46 and was immediately thrown into full menopause.

I thought I would feel so much better after surgery and start my life over again. But it didn't turn out that way. I felt worse. I was tired all the time, gaining weight and I didn't know why, having difficulty remembering things and just felt terrible. I wanted to know why and what I could do about it. So I started doing research.

I searched the internet, read books, went to seminars and learned as much as I could. As a teacher, I didn't want to keep everything to myself and I felt like all this information needed an outlet. I also wanted to help as many people as I could. So I started building this website. As I learn more, I will keep adding, since I haven't reached the end of my research. But, right now, there is enough here to get you started.

My idea here is to help you by telling you what worked for me and what didn't work. There are some things that I tried that I had heard worked for other people but didn't for me. I will tell you those things too, so that you can decide what you want to try.

Also, even though I am female, many of the things on this website apply to men too. So, guys, don't give up. Men have hormone changes later in life and need to be healthy too.

I am a big advocate of as few medicines as possible. However, before you make any changes, check with your doctor. He/She needs to be in the loop as you make diet, exercise or medicine changes.

I am not a doctor or a personal trainer. I am going to tell you what worked for me and you need to decide what to do and what not to do. As one of my friends says, 'Spit out the bones.' I.e. Throw out what doesn't work and keep what does work. But make the decision yourself.

You are in control and you can make good decisions, so don't take my word for anything. Do your own research and decide for yourself.

As you learn from this website, please let me know what you think, how I have helped you and if you find something different. If something I write about doesn't help you, let me know that too.

I recently discovered another benefit of developing this website. Writing about it helps me stay focused and motivates me to learn more. As a teacher, one of the major things I learned when I started teaching was that when I am required to communicate something, I learn it even better just by thinking about it and having to put into words.

Do you have something you are passionate about or want to learn about? I am not a professional web designer but I originally built this website with the help of Site Build It! It was easy and let me focus on getting my information out quickly without having to learn all the details of web design. Take a minute and look into it. You may find a new source income for a vacation. It's your turn to share.

Recently I wanted to expand my horizons and learn how to build my own website. So I switched to HostGator. So far I have been happy with them. For more information, click the banner below.
