Amazon Ordering? Here’s Help
Mused after reading “I try to adhere to a 24-hour rule. For any nonessential item, I wait a day before buying. Items can remain in my cart as I consider if I truly need them.” Dr. Robert Glatter, in Men’s Health magazine.
FOR MANY WOMEN, MIDLIFE BRAIN FOG IS REAL
Many women in their 40’s and early 50’s notice declines in their memory sometimes called “brain fog”. Mostly it’s caused by the hormonal changes during perimenopause and often gets better after menopause. This is in conjunction with other symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes.
There is evidence that there is a connection between “brain fog” and estrogen. As estrogen production during menopause declines some memory decline can occur. Women who have their ovaries removed before natural menopause have shown memory decline which improves after given estrogen.
(Did You Know? About 60% of women report a decline in memory function during perimenopause.)
After menopause, it is speculated that the brain compensates for lower estrogen levels by making new connections. There is some evidence that the decline in the process of learning something new may continue in some women.
The most important thing to remember is that these experiences are normal and in most cases temporary. Eating a good diet, exercising regularly, staying connected with friends and exercising your brain by learning new things can be helpful. Treating symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats with estrogen can also help with cognitive issues.

LA DOLCE VITA, JOIE DE VIVRE:
Ode to Champagne
It’s spring
A type of time when
Anything is real
All these flowers
And I have lost my ability
To know things
Or to have knowledge at all
Instead, I sit still
And sip a smooth mouth
Of gold on gold
Nothing is better than this
In the thin glass
I can see the breath
Of the thing
Pushing itself upward
Note on note of hydrangea
Or is it apple
Or whatever these
Floral things mean
Whatever the case
I can feel my head lift off
Just like they told me
It would
Someone somewhere
Is playing a silly song
I am laughing inside
Really, I am
The sweet taste of victory
Is everywhere
And my heart beats in time
With a kind of unsyncopated
Nonsense
So many bubbles!
I sit and sip
From the one mouth
To another
Silly sparkly thing
Spring is a time for friendship
I toast to all my friends
Let them have a long life
A long time
To be grounded here
With ecstasy
-Dorothy Lasky
SKIN CARE:
Skin Care Special:
Purchase $200 or more in SkinCeutical’s products and receive a travel size H.A. Intensifier (while supplies last).
Prices going up…
It’s been many years since we last increased our prices particularly with micropeels or the lunchtime facials that have such a loyal following. I’m sure everyone can appreciate how costs of labor, materials and manufacturing have gone up. Beginning April 1st, the costs of skin care products will go up commiserative with what the companies have increased to us. We will however have deluxe samples to go with many of the skin care products during the month of April. On May 1st, services are going up but there will be packages for each of them to save in costs. For example, micropeels will be $130 each but a package of 3 will be $360 and a package of 6 will be $660. May’s special will be 50% off for referrals to skin care for micropeels as well as for our patient who made the referral.
Dr. McKenna’s secret to his skin appearance is that he has been using our skin care products for many years. He said, “the skin care nurses tell me what to use and how to use it and I just put it on.”
In the AM: CE Ferulic, DOSE product specifically for him, and sunscreen.
In the PM: Retin-A and TNS Advanced Serum.
(By the way, he hasn’t had a facelift! ;))
