Why does it drive some women mad to see others succeed? This woman literally went mad because I am not taking artificial hormones in menopause. To such an extent she believes it’s only a matter of time before my body fails me and I will succumb to the artificial hormone rescue.. So what if I’m showing off my ability to do it naturally? what’s wrong with wanting attention? I love getting attention, especially when it comes from respecting my temple, something I put much dedication and practice into. If more people had more self respect and put more effort into their health as much as they do their bad habits, I bet they would show off the amazing results too. In fact, that’s why so many women who are taking artificial hormones in their menopause years get so pissed off at those who don’t. I’m proud of myself and I will continue to inspire other aging women while ignoring the offended. Millions of women are thriving without the use of artificial hormones. Because we don’t lose our hormones in menopause, we just no longer produce the kind needed for breeding. And if you want to pump yourself up with breeding hormones then you better expect your body to fail you eventually. This mad woman has it completely backwards. Mother Nature is no fool lady. But you certainly proved yourself to be.
Did you want to keep on with the 5 cups of coffee a day to keep you going, lots of sugary food, burning the candle at 6 ends, smoking, drinking too much booze to wind you down, using products laden with 100s of potentially hormone-disrupting ingredients, sitting down all day, not sleeping well because of the sugar, caffeine and booze, and not dealing with your stress, but take HRT to stop those your hormones screaming for attention?
I see many midlife women doing that and wondering why their body is rebelling. We’d rather demand a fix-all, than get curious about other ways to feel better, longer.
I think of menopause symptoms as the body’s early warning system, the canary in the coalmine, telling us we need to make changes if we want to live a long healthy life.
UPDATE:
Mary just admitted women can age healthy without HRT in her latest interview. It’s just harder.
