Are you eating less, trying harder, and still watching your waistline change?

When was the last time you did something simply because it was fun—not productive, practical, or good for someone else? Midlife women are constantly encouraged to be more disciplined.

Changes in sleep, energy, cholesterol, bone density, skin, mood, and metabolism can sometimes be connected to shifting hormones and underlying imbalances that began long before menopause.
