Midlife Helpers & Supplements I Take In Midlife

Midlife Helpers & Supplements I Take In Midlife

 

Hello Pretty ladies,

Happy Good Friday and start of Easter weekend as well as Spring Break. 

We’re heading to Church services this evening and leaving for Spring break on Tuesday.

This week’s Friday blog post took a turn. I was going to share a fabulous Spring outfit. Then, after yesterday’s Live with Suzanne, I realized so many of you wanted to know what supplements I’ve been taking and some of the items I’ve been using that have helped me on this midlife journey.

Please note that I am not a Doctor. I have seen Doctors and hormone replacement Doctors, and I’ve done a lot of research. These are just some of the items I’ve been taking and have found to work for me. Having had a hysterectomy in September of last year, I genuinely feel the best I’ve felt in years. I’ve been taking several of these items for years and added a couple to the mix in the last 3-4 months.

A little Health Journey info

I am not doing any HRT at this time and have not since around 2020. While this did work for me back in 2016-2019, while in the stages of pre-menopausal, I felt great, and it helped me tremendously to feel better and to get that hormonal weight I’d gained off.

I noticed after that 3rd year going into 4 I wasn’t feeling like myself, probably because the stages of Menopause were changing, and I also am assuming this was the time I probably started having tumor issues and wasn’t aware. Now, 2020 -2022 was a hard time for the medical field. Which we are all aware of.

Because of this, I stopped doing HTR and started looking into more supplements that could help while in this stage of midlife and Menopause. This is a tiny part of my journey in midlife and a peek at my Midlife helpers & Supplements I take in midlife.

I shared some of my Hysterectomy journey Here and more of my Midlife Journey Here. I discussed our last LIVE Midlife Helpers in these Highlight Videos and this Instagram Live.

Supplements I take from Piping Rock

Essentials for Midlife

Fish oil 1000 mg—I use the one by Piping Rock—Omega-3 Fish Oil Lemon Flavor, 1000 mg, 240 Quick Release Softgels. Piping Rocks Fish Oil contains EPA and DHA, two omega-3 fatty acids that help support and maintain the health of the cardiovascular system. ** Each quick-release soft gel contains 1400 mg per serving of our fish oil and is purified to eliminate Mercury and other heavy metals. With the convenience of only taking one daily, what’s stopping you?

Maca 3200 Mg-Superfood of the Incas.= Maca is an exotic herb used by men for centuries. The Latin name for this highly regarded plant is “Lepidium meyenii,” and it is native to the Andes Mountains of Peru. Grab Piping Rock’s Maca capsules today and get the equivalent of 4800 mg of this herb! Husband also uses this Supplement.

Ultra Magnesium Complex with Plus D3 (Cal 1000mg/Mag 500mg/D3 1000IU) – Piping Rock Ultra Calcium Magnesium plus D3 brings three research-backed bone support nutrients together in one great product!** Magnesium supports bones by promoting peak mineralization.** Calcium and D3 work hand-in-hand to help you and your healthy lifestyle. Get peak quality and value with Piping Rock Ultra Calcium Magnesium Vitamin D3 today!

MSM 1000mg is an organic sulfur and one of the most abundant minerals in the human body. It can be obtained nutritionally by consuming plant foods such as Brussels sprouts, asparagus, legumes, and kale. The MSM content of the food is highly dependent on the sulfur content of the soil. MSM plays a role in collagen production and is often used synergistically with glucosamine and chondroitin in joint support supplements.

Midlife Helpers for Health & Beauty

—Vlog— Surgery Day How I prepared the morning of —Vlog—
Surgery Day

How I prepared the morning of surgery to remove my 
Melanoma Cancer on my face…

A few things that helped me for the 4-6 hour surgery day.

-Started day with Warm lemon water 
-Prayers, Devotion and journaling. (This helps start your day off right and with strength and peace)🙏🏻
- My Doctor suggested having high protein (I made A high protein Smootie with High antioxidants & Vic C for healing

- Washed hair & styled as I wasn’t sure when I would get to take a shower & wash hair,due to Stitches & bandages on face.

- Essentials, ear buds to listen to a podcast or audio book, my lap top in case I wanted to watch a movie, ice water, a protein bar, lip gloss, a charger and a hair tie❤️

- Comfortable Clothing 

If you want more details on my Melanoma Journey 💪🏻I have two LIVES🎥 in feed SHARING the details the day before, on what to look for, what the difference is between skin cancer and melanoma, what mine looked like and  What procedure the surgeon is doing , as what we did prior to prep, and answering questions-labeled Part one in feed and I am wearing a denim top.
&
-The day after surgery- sharing how it went, results, how I felt, a peek at how far the stitches went, what care is, and next steps as well as answering a ton of questions I received in DMs.  That one you’ll see the bandage on my face😉

I am being very real and authentic with you in sharing this journey, to help spread awareness on the importance of having your skin checked by a dermatologist.🧑‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

While also showing how smoothing so small can take a lot of work to be removed, while also showing…. It will be ok, and you may feel scared and think you’ll never look the same, but you can be brave, trust the process and we’ll heal and look normal again:) It just takes time😉❤️💋💪🏻🙏🏻

Update: Today is 7 days after surgery and I had my stitches taken out yesterday! 
Now the real healing begins. 
I finally had a decent nights sleep, my face is swollen, I don’t look like Frankenstein anymore😉 and although the scar goes from my under eyelashes to my jaw, it looks better then I thought it would. It’s pretty flat and the Dr, who stitched me up did an amazing job. ❤️#melanoma

Wrapped up in 20 Photos✔️

I can’t tell you how fun the last 5 days have been full of family, adventures, building memories and reminiscing of past. 

Although we do try to get together often, this was one of those rare times, we actually had more time, more intention and something Nana, really needed more then ever❤️ 

No rushing, no drama just togetherness and enjoying each other …

Along with some fun Utah activities and places. It truly was a great time together ❤️

I’ve been sharing a lot in stories 🎥

Planing a trip to Utah?
Here’s a few places and things we did, that everyone enjoyed.

@thegrandamerica (the cocktail lounge is where we surprised nana) beautiful hotel, great cocktails & live piano & harp music- gorgeous lights and the Laurel restaurant is so good.

@proskijor  Horse & Ski Event in Heber (2 day event) 2 dates and locations on calendar for Utah 

Midway -a cute little Swiss town next to Heber, with great restaurants and little shops. @ballerinafarmstore  is located here and a must stop.

Park City & Deer Valley- Great Ski town full of everything you’d expect and more. @jcrew had a Olympic Clothing collab pop-up (I had to check out) 

With a large group & perfect for Car  enthusiasts Billy Blanko Mexican restaurant can accommodate you and it’s a very fun vibe part of @billwhiterestaurants 

@themercantile_on25th  is a great brunch & The girls loved the iced lattes 

@snowbasinresort is our local ski resort (my families fav) Stunning lodges with good food to hang out in , if your not a skier and amazing terrain if you are🎿🚠

Never underestimate the power of joy & the healing Never underestimate the power of joy & the healing family can bring❤️🙏🏻

When 6 Grandchildren & their spouses along with parents traced from 3 states to surprise their Nana….

Not only did they get the reaction they hoped for…. They gave her what she needed❤️❤️

It’s been one year since we lost Papa and this surprise lifter her sprints more than they could have hoped for. 

5 days of family bonding, sightseeing in Utah with love and a lot of laughter! 

I highly recommend a family surprise visit to help lift a family members spirit.

There wasn’t a dry eye 🥹in the lounge at the @thegrandamerica 
One of the waiters came up and said “I knew something special was going to happen… Was the sweetest thing to watch🥹❤️”
He even thank all of us❤️❤️❤️

(I think he wanted to hug Nana too😉😂)

The joy of family, family heals, lifting your spirits

The changes and the similarities from 10 Years ago!

Sharing 20 photos… looking back at Instagram trends, fashion, what photos caught people’s attention, what I shared back then and some pinch me moments! 

Still having pinch me moments as a midlifer, in a career that didn’t even exist until 2010 and really didn’t start picking up steam until 2015/16

Isn’t that crazy… and think of all the new careers still to come….
