The following is not medical advice, it is information that you may find helpful in discussing with the healthcare professionals you use. Always consult with them first for any new changes in your health regimen and any health concerns you have. Remember your teenage years? All the new thoughts and emotions that began to flood our minds and bodies, but a complete lack of awareness that they were being fueled in large part by hormones?
I like to think of midlife as the adult version of that hormonal shift with the added benefits of wisdom, access to information, and being empowered to tap into the resources available. Just today another woman asked me as she joined alongside me on my daily morning walk, what else do you do besides walk? A lot of women have been turning up lately looking for guidance. It must be the silver-streaked hair, lol. What I have shared with women and I will share with you as well, is we each need to find what is best for us as individuals. Having said that, I offer women two sources that have been helpful to me as I take a nature-based, holistic approach first before I ever consider turning to pharmaceuticals or surgical interventions. Don’t get me wrong, western medicine has its place, but it is not my first go-to. The first resource I recommend is my nurse colleague, Cynthia Thurlow, NP. Cynthia is a nurse practitioner with many years of experience who is a Metabolic Health-Fasting Expert who has a plethora of information to help women navigate this time in their lives. My favorite offering is the podcast, Everyday Wellness, where she discusses research-backed information that may be helpful to us women and interviews many leading experts on this topic. To learn more about Cynthia and her menu of information visit : www.CynthiaThurlow.com The second resource I invite women to look into is also a nurse colleague, Dr. Ellen Kamhi. Dr. Kamhi is a fellow Board Certified Advanced Holistic Nurse and leading Herbalist expert who is consulted by many major herbal brands. She has been not only a fabulous source of nature-based healing information, but a true inspiration! She has been involved in Natural Medicine since 1973. Like Cynthia, she too has a plethora of information to choose from. For women navigating midlife, you may want to consider purchasing her book, The Cycles of Life: Herbs & Energy Techniques for the Stages of a Woman’s Life. To learn more about Dr. Kamhi and her other offerings, please visit: www.NaturalNurse.com Transitioning to our later years can be a time of great joy, letting go of what no longer serves us, reflecting on our accomplishments and joyous times, and embracing a new era with new opportunities to name just a few. We don’t need to do it alone, nor do we need to succumb to the cultural narrative that it is a ruthless, hard journey. Find what works for you and enjoy this new stage of life that we are fortunate to arrive at.
