You're Half of Every Relationship

Ask women what matters most. They say: relationships. Children. Partners. Friends.

Here's what that means: You're half of every relationship. When you don't take care of yourself, everyone you love worries. Whether they tell you or not.

Self-care is an act of love.

Here's the clinical truth I learned after 20 years: The body can heal itself. Until it can't. There's a point where aging outpaces regeneration. That point is approaching.

Menopause is your window. You can still make a significant impact on your future health. But the window closes.

We appreciate our health when we sense its absence. By then, regeneration is harder. Much harder.

Listen to whispers before they become screams.

Your forties and fifties are for fortifying. Many of us wait too long to change. We need to listen before it gets harder.

I know it's difficult to uproot old habits because they're deep and connected to our identity. But we have to at least try.

The best way to predict your future health is to try to create it.
