Good article on brain changes in menopause
http://www.prevention.com/health/menopause-brain-effects I particularly liked this bit: But admit I was also intrigued by what seems to be yet another reversal with respect to HRT. Or at least an adjustment.

Black SOYbean brownies, oh MY!
I'm a huge fan of black soybeans. For many reasons: their nutrient profile, their taste, their phytoestrogens. I've made blacken brownies before. This morning on the treadmill I was wondering if black SOYbean brownies would work. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread14056.html…

Amelia Freer: Eat. Nourish. Glow.
http://www.amazon.com/Eat-Nourish-Glow-looking-healthier/dp/000757990X/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 Wondering if anyone has read it. She doesn't speak specifically about "clean eating" but that's what it is. She talks about eating non inflammatory, whole foods. A good, very read-able book.

I'm a geek, who may try an experiment
I recently have been lowering my carbs to see how it affects my symptoms (they're improving, thanks deksgrl). I've now been reading about Keto diets and menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes. It's compelling. I may try a Keto experiment and see how I feel (once the low carb flu passes). If I feel better I'd happily…

metabolic effect?
A few months ago some of the lovely women here were working with metabolic effect, and if memory serves, started a Facebook page for support. I looked for that thread here, but wasn't able to find it. Hope its going well. How is it going!?

November goals (bear with me)
I have two goals for November and want to track them here 1. No weekday wine (eek!) 2. More fiber Both goals are directly menopause related, but both are also relevant to my lower carb attempts. 1. Clearly reducing wine nights is good. For the number on the scale. For my blood sugars. For menopause. For my wallet. 2.…

petition for the U.S. Gov. to start basing our Dietary Guidelines on the full array of science.
https://www.change.org/p/demand-that-quality-science-determine-the-2015-u-s-dietary-guidelines I'm assuming this doesn't violate the guidelines? If it does, please delete. I thought it was pretty interesting. It's Volek.

low carb potstickers? (not lettuce wrapped)
Does anyone have a recipe for a lower carb potsticker? I've seen ones with a cabbage wrap, and while they look yummy, I'm not sure they'd satisfy the potsticker cravings. Anyone? thanks!

Stopping bioidenticals- bear with me
Okay, if you've been here a while, you know I've been using bioidentical progesterone for about 4 years, and bioidentical estriol for about a year. Many of my symptoms are gone. I'd say the primary ones that remain are the occasional very light migraine, and intermittent insomnia, and creeping weight gain. Previously I had…

I'm a geek: I read 2 atkins books this week.
I had previously read several South Beach Diet books, and of course, my favorite, all things Michael Pollan. I read the Dukan Diet. I've read Wheat Belly, Good Calories etc, paleo books, nutritarian books, the china study....... I read for fun. While I'm working out (okay, mostly I listen). This week I read (or re-read)…
