Menopause Matters

About Menopause Matters

Did perimenopause - or menopause - catch you off guard? - Weird symptoms appearing from nowhere? - Wondering who is this person who's inhabiting your body? - And most of all, having no one to talk to about it? It happened to me, too! Anger, depression, and a bottomed-out libido played havoc on my marriage, career, and my relationship with my son long before I felt my first hot flash. In the aftermath of that wreckage, without any clue as to the true nature of the problem, I vowed to get fit and healthy, hoping that would at least allow me to survive the chaos that was my life. It worked - I lost weight, got fit, met a great guy, and even became a personal trainer, helping other women to lose weight and get fit. Like I said - it worked. That is, until it didn't. The weight started creeping back, and the weird, unpredictable symptom parade started again. Everything I'd worked to achieve was in danger of collapsing. This time, though, I knew I had to figure it out and the signs all pointed to menopause. I dug in, reading often outdated books and searching obscure references on the internet. I learned how our shifting reproductive hormones mess with every cell in our bodies. And as I realized how complete this hormonal disruption was, I became determined to help other women understand and control their own Menopause Journey. Because Menopause Matters. This is Menopause Matters, where we talk about all things menopause, especially how you can ditch the symptoms and delight in your life again. I'm your host, Jeanne Andrus, and this is the Menopause Matters Podcast.

   80 - Michelle Myles - A Passion for Bamboo (Sleepwear at Its Best!)

   Women deserve to feel their best at the end of each day, and comfortable sleepwear is crucial to achieving that! Join Jeanne as she speaks with Michelle Myles about an innovative bamboo sleepwear line. Wearing something comfortable brings so much happiness and peace, especially for women as they age! Stay tuned! Here are the things to expect in the episode: Many women tend to overlook the importance of their sleepwear and loungewear. A specific moment or experience that led Michelle to create her sleepwear line. Why did Michelle choose bamboo fabric over other fabrics? The benefits of having comfortable and calming sleepwear at home. And much more! About Michelle: Inspiration began from founder Michelle’s journey through her mother’s lung cancer. Her mom, Shirley, became very fond of her bamboo-fabric beanie, which provided her comfort and body temperature regulation after hair loss from chemotherapy. Shirley, favoring her beanie over a designer wig, inspired Michelle on the quest to continue to elevate joy and comfort with sensible clothing. She found that there were so many benefits to bamboo fabric, not only for our personal use but also for the planet, and she thought all women should have this comfort in their lives. Michelle's mission is to elevate joy, inspire humanity, and create a meaningful lifestyle through quality products and comfortable loungewear. Connect with Michelle Myles!
