Women’s Health – Birthdays Don’t Add-Up, Hormonal Milestones Do

A hot area of research is body composition, the proportions of fat, muscle, and bone that make up total body weight.


Women live longer than men for a multitude of reasons – which means not only women to save 20% more to live off, biological, behavioral, social, psychological. However, these days, chronological age is only a tiny piece of the story. Thanks to the new advancement study of women medicine better nutrition, more physical activity, and a decline in smoking, the rate of disabilities among seniors has dropped dramatically. There are many peri-menopausal or menopausal women are running marathons or climbing mountains at 50-plus. I’m excited about life and look forward to the adventures I desire to do at age 50.

To take a groundbreaking view of female health, we must take our Quest-for-Life a step further. Instead of fixating on age to determine what considered the “Normal-Average” activity for a 43-year old woman, let’s consider speaking in terms of Milestones. Let’s consider our health and body’s physical fitness during each Hormonal Milestones:

• Milestone 1: Menstruation to First Pregnancy

• Milestone 2: The Reproductive Years

• Milestone 3: Peri-menopause

• Milestone 4: Beyond Menopause

Each of the Milestone represents a significant shift in our hormonal makeup and have a significant implication for our health. An example to consider would be in the first Milestone, the surge of estrogen and other female hormones affect our hearts, our bones, our fat storage, our trouble-spot areas and our emotions.

Its time out for musing or obsessing about something without doing anything about it, we need to “just do it.” Well, that’s it, put it to an end. No more agonizing that you’re too big to go to the gym. No more putting off walks until you find the perfect pair of tennis shoes. You already know what to do. Well I’m here to help you and assist you with getting it done. You can easily get a personal trainer to training in the privacy of your home or join a bootcamp, where you can meet other like minded women and better relate to.

I want to challenge you to a 16-week Challenge.

A Breakthrough!!

I consider myself as an extreme optimist. I set out on a journey years ago not knowing exactly what it was that I wanted to do. I wanted to be a part of something bigger than me. It was through perseverance that The Well Woman Research Organization dba LivingLifeGolden.com was birthed and through adversity the business was conceived. The Legacy begins….and I’m “Living my life like its Golden” giving Hope to others. I’ve believe I’ve found my purpose – The Well Woman Research Organization.

There a book I read years ago, Fight Fat after Forty, as approaching what was said to be an undesirable age “40”. Not so undesirable. I’m loving it! I’ve learned a lot about myself and a lot about my body. After being introduced to the world of stress – and the fat connection it was and still is life changing. I now have made it my mission to help educate the world on preventing Toxic Fat that sits around our abdominal area. For women the stubborn fat inside your belly that accumulates when stress is out of control has been linked to the cause of many chronic diseases.

Women’s health is getting worse! More than 35 percent of women carry at least 50 pounds more than what’s recommended for optimal health. What’s painful and frightening at the same time is our daughters are becoming so sedentary and overweight, they risk being the first generation to not live as long as their parents. The most successful hopeful plan for today’s women would have to factor in the realities of a women’s whole life – a full-time career, motherhood, being a wife (for some), endless care giving, and the stress the comes with doing it all. There’s significant importance of specific nutrients for women’s health like calcium, iron and folic acid. This is important why? Because it’s need to accommodate the fluctuations in mood, energy, and appetite, that happens around the time before and during a women monthly cycle or during peri-menopause. During this stressful time it would also address issues of emotional eating and poor body image – issues that women struggle with on a daily basis, while men and children alike are now facing too.

The word challenge for me has taken on a new meaning…suggesting hope, possibility and empowerment. Accepting the challenge means quitting is not an option.

The mind/body programs suggest as transformation, which synthesizes the newest science; my expertise in the fields of fitness, nutrition, stress and metabolism; and my experience of helping to teach people about revitalizing their health and their lives. The Well Woman Research Organization refined programs, a natural, healthier, interactive plan for healthier living that incorporates information and nutrition, exercise, and stress management specifically chosen to help achieve Living a Golden Life!

What's a Hand Full of candy Worth to You?

We all crave something sweet or crunch from time to time. However, with candy, mini-crackers, nuts and other loose snacks, the amount you can hold in the center of your hand can exceed the serving size-especially if you are a man with large hands. Most of us have very little calories to spare within a day, once we've had our breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Depending upon your age, gender and how physically active you are, eating a well-balanced diet that includes vegetables, fruits, whole-grain foods, low-or non-fat dairy and lean proteins to get the essentials nutrients your body needs (on a daily basis) may leave you with “maybe” an extra 100 – 150 calories t indulge in a food that supplies empty calories., if you want to keep from gaining weight. If you don’t cut calories elsewhere – for example, using skim milk in your cereal, using a non-caloric sweetener in your coffee or not drinking alcohol – you may not be able to work candy or other snacks into your diet without gaining weight.

According the product package Nutrition Fact labeling, one serving size of candy coated chocolate m-m candies is 34 grams or 35 pieces, Calories 180; Total Fat 12g; Saturated Fat 7g; Cholesterol 10mg; Sodium 55mg; Carbohydrates 18g; Fiber 1g; Sugar 16g; Protein 2g;

We asked a 50-year old man, a 30-year old women and a 10 year old girl to grab a handful of the candies from a bowl, counted up how many of them each had nestled in the palms of their hands and calculated the nutritional values of each handful using the Nutrition Fact label on the back of the package.

The Wellness Uterus Organization

The Healthy Uterus

A normal uterus is the shape and size of an upside down pear, approximately three to four inches wide and two to three inches in height. The top of uterus is called the fundus, from which the fallopian tubes extend out on either side, with an ovary near the end of each fallopian tube. Below the fundus is the body of the uterus which is made up of two layers of tissue: the endometrium in the inside lining of the uterus; and the myometrium is the muscular wall of the uterus. The cervix is immediately below the body of the uterus and contains the cervical canal, which passes into the vagina. All of the components joined together to make up the uterus.

The ovaries and certain areas of the brain control center for a woman's hormonal cycle. Hormones are produced within the brain which control a female entire reproductive cycle. These hormones also affect the level of estrogen produced within the ovaries as well as the monthly growth of the endometrium. Estrogen released in ovaries regulates the release of eggs during ovulation, which also affects the uterus and the vagina, and ultimately, the growth of uterine fibroid tumor(s). As women approach their mid-40's, the level of these hormones can become unbalanced, leading to symptoms such as a hot flashes, fatigue, mood swings, abnormal eating patterns and insomnia, which normally occur during the beginning of menopause. Fluctuations of these hormones occur less frequently as a woman approaches full menopause. It is very good to know your body by now, for example if you experience a vast amount of headaches for no particular reason it may be a good idea to visit an OB/GYN or your personal care physician.

Because of the delicate balance of the hormones that are released by the ovaries and the brain, it is necessary to understand the importance of the role the ovaries and the uterus play in the maintaining a woman’s monthly cycle. It is also important to understand what happens if the uterus and ovaries are suddenly removed to treat the symptoms of such uterine fibroids. If a woman with symptoms of uterine fibroids is treated with a full hysterectomy (where the ovaries and the uterus are totally removed), this delicate balance may be disrupted, which may cause other symptoms, such as hot-flashes, depression, mood swings, abnormal eating patterns, excessive fatigue, insomnia and osteoporosis. Although some patients do maintain their ovaries, there may be other side affects with the removal of the uterus, such as urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, excessive fatigues and adhesions (a piece of tissue that has grown around a small injury or disease area).

The Wellness Uterus Conference

The Wellness Uterus Conference is designed to offer women the necessary information to consider before making a decision for hysterectomy, be educated on the advance women health care and total body wellness.

The first you must understand is you are not alone. Approximately 1 out of every 10 women between the ages of 18 and 55 has similar types of challenges. Usually, these types of problems are treatable, which can alleviate some of the abnormal discomfort and symptoms. Most women who have had treatment alternative to hysterectomy are satisfied with the results and are glad to be free from pain, pressure, excessive bleeding and any other unpleasant symptoms.

Trust yourself.

We encourage you to do your research. Know your options. Know your body. Keep the stress in your life to a minimum. At “The Wellness Uterus Conference” you can expect participating vendors and agencies to come prepared to provide hands-on teaching activities right from their booth. Provide informative literature women can take with them teaching at least one major important subject of their business.
