Menopause - Symptoms of High Estrogen During Menopause

In the simplest form, menopause is described as the cessation of menstruation in a woman's life. It's when a woman is no longer fertile and is unable to bear children. It's a milestone, rather than a condition. However, when a woman is premenopausal she may encounter a surge in estrogen. This is a condition referred to as estrogen dominance that can be treated with a boron or magnesium supplement.
Although a woman is considered menopausal only after one full year without a period, perimenopause can occur 3-5 years before the complete cessation of the menses. It is usually marked by several symptoms and one symptom is usually triggered by the other. For example, a woman may struggle with moodiness, but that will stem from disturbed sleep as a result of night flashes during the night.
Estrogen dominance can occur at any point in a woman's life, but no matter when it occurs it is considered a condition when estrogen levels increase to the point that it's higher than progesterone levels. During perimenopause progesterone levels tend to fall and so should estrogen, but when they don't women may experience several symptoms:

• Sluggish Metabolism
• Weight gain
• Decreased libido
• PMS
• High emotional sensitivity
• Headaches
• Mood swings
• Heavy Periods
• Breast Tenderness

I Want to Build a Better Life

Building a better life can be difficult, there's no doubt about that.
Many people are more driven to stay comfortable and keep the "status quo" rather than make a dramatic change to their lives - even if that change is a positive one and it's ultimately for the better.
It takes a rare kind of attitude to consistently seek a better life no matter where you find yourself or where you are in your life. I personally hope to find myself looking for ways to improve up until the day I die.
To grow is to live. When that growth stagnates, we experience a kind of psychological death - we lose an important sense of meaning, purpose, and motivation in our lives.
What are you truly striving for? Do you know? Are you 100% happy the way your life is or are there things you can actually be doing to improve it?
These are questions we all need to ask ourselves on a daily basis. We're all striving for something - but what is it - what are the core values that we really want to live by?
The more you know the answer to those questions, the more capable you are of building a better life. But you can't get to a "better life" if you don't first know what "better life" actually means to you.
Of course, the definition of a "better life" is going to vary depending on the person. You need to find your definition.

Night sweats after 40

Have you ever woken up covered in sweat in the middle of the night, only to look over and see your mate all snuggled up under the blankets almost looking cold? Any woman over 40 can tell you how it feels to be in the middle of a sleep cycle, only to be woken up by the feeling of drowning in your own bodily fluids. By bodily fluids, I mean night sweats. You wake up, throw the covers, the sheets, everything off your body just to get that first feel of cool, refreshing, air against your pale, damp, wet skin. It's not even just waking up beside your partner like that; it's trying to snuggle against your partner and not being able to because no more than five minutes into holding each other, it's like the local slip and slide between the two of you, you're sweating so much. Have you ever wondered why that is?
