I’ve discovered a fun, new distraction that is actually more useful than someone my age would initially think. It’s Tiktok. It’s unbelievable how much information you can learn in a minute or less.
in fact, some of you may have come to my page from seeing my TikTok video below.

Anyway, back to TikTok. Since joining, I’ve been truly astounded by the wealth of information available in brief videos. To my surprise, this includes information about women’s health and a topic near and dear to my heart, menopause.
Insightful information about menopause
Here’s a great example on menopause. An awesome sister doctor I follow, created this quick, helpful video.

Say less, I already keep portable fans stashed all around the house at all times.
If this looks like something you need, here are some purchasing options. These are all portable and rechargeable options:
Menopause supplements to consider
In addition to single herbal supplements, you can find supplements with combinations of herbs to address the many symptoms associated with menopause.
I’ve tried some, including Estroven. For my body, I have to switch the supplements after about 6 -9 months of use because my body adjusts to them. Amberen is another over the counter supplement I tried and had success with before I had to switch.
Here are a couple of supplements I’m looking into. I’ll keep you posted.
Laughing my way through it all
At the very least, whenever I find myself in the midst of a menopause funk; TikTok can typically provide some comic relief on the topic.
Here’s a video that really is a hilarious and accurate representation of what I put Michael through pretty much every night.
Enjoy and make sure to follow me on social media!
