Today's Golden Girls

OK, I'll confess....I just love the "Golden Girls" repeats on television.  I find the good humor and laughs I get from watching an episode before I go to sleep highly entertaining and all in good fun.  The other evening, there was an episode where one of the girls was experiencing the first signs and symptoms of menopause.  The comments and laughs revolving around the topic were hysterical - all the characters shared their own experiences with 'the change'.  I have quite a number of patients whom I treat for menopause and I made the comment to a few of them over the past two days how the Golden Girls all looked so 'old' to be going through menopause.  Truly, they were only supposed to be in their 50s during the sitcom.  The 50-somethings that walk into my office look like they're 30-somethings.  Radiant, active, fashionable and in so much better shape...a sign of the times and women's health over the past 30 years since the show originally aired in prime time.  My patients also commented on the observation and how we, as women, have come such a long way in our knowledge of health, fitness, fashion and being fabulous!

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  If you're a "Golden Girl" and going thru peri menopause or full menopause and it's making your life a little inconvenient, call or email my office today and do what my fabulous 50-something patients have done to cease the sweats, vaginal dryness and other symptoms of 'the change'....acupuncture and herbal pills.  Safe, drug free and highly effective!
