Art of Graceful Aging Focus on Earth Friendly Companies: Rothy’s
As the owner (FNP-C) of a full-time Women’s Health Clinic, a med spa owner, author of a women’s health and beauty blog and website, wife, mother and grandmother and fur baby mom, I often find myself with little time for leisurely shopping for clothes and shoes. I imagine this is probably true for a lot of you as well. I love clothes and shoes, and I like to look and feel nice. It is easy to fall into doing everything online and don’t get me wrong, there is a place for shoppin

Essential Oil of the Week: Frankincense
When I started this blog about graceful aging, some of my goals were to learn about and share information, ideas and products that I thought would interest and help women in the perimenopausal and menopausal age group (including me) with issues that we commonly experience. One topic I have been researching and learning a lot about is the essential oils. Essential oils have been used in healing, health and beauty for thousands of years, but I never knew the extent of their ben

Supplement Savvy: Magnesium
I wanted to start my Supplement Savvy Series with Magnesium Supplements. I feel like Magnesium is a supplement that many people are familiar with, but because there are so many different types and formulations of magnesium with a lot of different names, picking the right one can be confusing, even overwhelming. So, what is Magnesium? Magnesium is a mineral that is involved with hundreds (300+) of bodily functions, including muscle activity, bone health, nerve transmission,

Supplement Savvy
I have been in Women’s Healthcare for many years. Back when I first started, a cutting-edge supplement might be something like a multivitamin specifically formulated for women over fifty or a combination calcium with vitamin D. But a lot of things have changed over the years, and the supplement market is one of those things. Today there is an absolutely mind-boggling array of all kinds of supplements promising all kinds of benefits. I think that there are many reasons why t

Essential Oil of the Week: Coriander Essential Oil
I think that most people are familiar with the popular herb Cilantro and the famous spice Coriander. These two things actually come from the same plant. While Coriander, as the spice, is famous worldwide, not as many people are aware of its health benefits as an essential oil. Coriander essential oil is extracted from the seeds of the cilantro/coriander plant through steam distillation. It has been used for many years in both traditional and Ayurvedic medicine and is known f
