A Woman’s Heart, Anxiety vs. Heart Attack

Written by Mary Kyle on September 16, 2009 - 7:58pm

There is no doubt that women today are under more stress than ever. One of the “gifts” left to us by the women’s liberation movement is that we not only get to fry-the-bacon-up-in-a-pan at night, but we are also frequently out there in the workforce bringing-home-the-bacon as well.

Testosterone, Menopause, and Heart Disease

Written by Dr. Carrie Jones on November 17, 2009 - 9:40pm

Testosterone is an often overlooked hormone in the grand scheme of menopause but the truth is, it helps with hotflashes, nightsweats, bone loss, energy, self-esteem, sexual desire, and orgasm response. For many women, this important hormone decreases with age however for some, it actually increases leading to increased facial hair, acne, and an increased risk for heart disease.

Written by Michele Blacksberg on November 16, 2009 - 11:00am

Her daughter was born with a small blister, a hemangioma, on her lower lip that grew larger as the girl got older. Visits to doctors proved fruitless as each indicated that there was nothing that could be done and told her it would fade on its own.
