Oral Contraceptive Pills

6/25/2012

0 Comments

 
If you take oral contraceptive pills and you miss 2 or more pills in a row, please remember that you are no longer protected from pregnancy. You should continue taking the pills, but you need to use a condom until that pack of pills is finished. Of course, if you are not sure of your or your partner's HIV or STI (sexually transmitted infection) status, then you should always use a condom.

Hot Flushes

6/22/2012

0 Comments

 
Those of us who are approaching middle age may be experiencing hot flushes, irregular periods, mood swings and difficulty sleeping. This happens as we approach menopause, which is when menstruation stops. You can consider taking Evening Primrose oil capsules 1000-1300mg once or twice daily to help with the symptoms. It takes a few weeks to see the difference, so be patient. 
If your symptoms are severe and you feel like you can't function, please see your doctor.
Love yourself, take care of your health! 

Come see me at the clinic if you are not feeling well or if you need a check up. Do you need a Life Coach, are you stuck and need some motivation to actually start doing the things you say you want to do in life?

Depression

6/21/2012

Do you struggle with mild depression? Do you feel a bit down, depressed, and sad for no reason? Prayer, exercise, meditation, writing a journal and getting enough sleep will help, and you could consider taking St John's Wort. It's a supplement that helps with mild depression. You can buy it over the counter, try 300mg once to three times daily.
If you feel very depressed and cry most days of the week, have lost your appetite, are not sleeping well and have thoughts of harming yourself or others, you may be clinically depressed and you need urgent help from a professional. Don't try to overcome it all by yourself. Please see your doctor or psychiatrist as soon as possible.
Love yourself, take care of your health!

Consider eliminating coffee and sugar from your diet. If you are tired and dragging it means you need more sleep, not more coffee!

Did you get enough sleep?

How was your weekend? Did you get enough sleep? We all need 7-8 hours of sleep every night to function properly. Less sleep puts strain on our bodies and makes it harder for us to lose weight and think effectively.
Love yourself, take care of your health!
