The Beauty of Winter  

 

I can feel the days getting longer, and the light getting stronger! But it is still winter, even though Mardi Gras and Chinese and Tibetan New Year are upon us.

I just finished a cleanse, and my body is thanking me for it. It is great to stop craving sugar, have more energy, better focus and memory, and

pain-free joints. I am offering a coupon for a discount on detox powder by Metagenics, along with 30% off your detox visit.

 

In this newsletter I am including some interesting articles:

  • High Blood Pressure - Lowering The Strain  (without drugs) is a great article. Please pass it along to friends or family who are struggling with this.
  • Learn how to maintain healthy bones with Bone Mineral Density Testing And Bone Scan Results.
  • Adrenal Stress And Weight Gain - Are They Related?  Finally some answers to why we have trouble keeping weight off, and how to be successful.
  • You can send in your questions about women's healthcare to  Molly's facebook page

I enjoy hearing from you!

Warmly, Molly

Bone Mineral Density Testing And Bone Scan Results
 

by Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP

 

 

 

In this article, Marcelle will discuss testing, understanding test results and the limitations of them, medications, and what we can do to maintain strong healthy bones as we age,

 

Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) technology was introduced in 1988 and has become the most popular tool for measuring bone density.

 

The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends that all women over age 65, and post-menopausal women with at least one risk factor for osteoporosis, undergo a bone density test, which is usually a DEXA. Results from bone density tests are used to diagnose osteopenia and osteoporosis.

Adrenal Stress And Weight Gain - Are They Related?

by Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP

 

  • The stress response and how it causes us gain weight
  • Belly fat, one of the first symptoms of adrenal dysfunction
  • Changing your diet, the key ingredient for adrenal balance
  • Balancing your life, where to start?

The most important question so many of my patients ask me is "Why am I gaining weight?  I've done nothing different."

Times have changed greatly and our lives are busier than ever. Multi-tasking is now the norm. Between the stressors of our jobs, relationship turmoil, caring for aging or sick parents, and many other responsibilities, we are all very aware that life challenges are more difficult than ever before.
