A few years back, Roberta Lee, M.D., co-director of the Integrative Medicine Felowship at Beth Israel’s Continuum Center for Health and Healing in New York and author of The SuperStress Solution, did a study on patients who were showing telltale symptoms of post tramatic stress disorders, anxiety and sleep disturbance. She said these patients hadn’t been through any terrifying ordeal and in fact denied feeling overly stressed at all.
What she found out was that these people had been living under such extreme stress for so long, they didn’t know they were stressed, she said, ” it had become an invisible part of the landscape of their lives”.
According to, Stephanie McClelan, M.D, and Beth Hamilton M.D., co-authors of So Stressed: The Ultimate Stress Relief Plan for Women, we each have our very own stress personality. Read More »

Before you dismiss the idea of taking an astrological approach to determine your health and wellness, try to keep an open mind in that Astrology has been used in healing and medicine since ancient times.
It originated in Egypt with its earliest texts being ascribed to Hermes Trismegistos. It was taught in the Egyptian Schools and passed down to ancient Greece, where it was taught by Plato and practiced by the Father of Medicine, Hippocrates.
Planetary Apothecary, written by Stephanie Gailing discusses how a person’s astrological sun sign can be an indicator of health and key to wellness. The book offers a range of holistic healing approaches that address each sign’s health issues.
Don’t know your Moon and Rising sign? No problem. You can readily find out your personal information. Just go to Astro.com, where you can find your natal birth chart free of charge.

I have friends that have been married for years so this won’t be true in all cases.
Last One Down the Aisle Wins, is not about waiting around until you hit your 30’s to get hitched. It’s a practical guide in which Celeste and Shannon give women in their twenties 10 keys to a better chance of having a great single life and even better marriage later in life.
In fact, statistics show that if you wait and marry at thirty, your chances of having a healthy, long-lasting relationship more than double. So before rushing off to become someone else’s better half, take the time to become the best, strongest whole person you can be!
Last One Down the Aisle Wins has the potential to become the next ‘must read’ for twenty something women everywhere.

Have you heard the most recent uproar regarding curves?
Well, apparently, Lane Bryant has come out with a commercial that shows a little too much skin–at least according to ABC and Fox, who both initially refused to air it. (I believe Fox recently agreed to run the spot after an upcoming American Idol episode.)
Given that most Victoria Secret models seem to pop up everywhere in their underwear, I think it’s a bit hypocritical to start fussing about what curvy women look like in their underwear, don’t you agree? Read More »

Our resident Vaginal Phitness expert, Dr. Lauri Romanzi, educates the SweetTalk community with answers to your most pressing, personal questions.
Q: Dear Dr. Romanzi, Why do women experience pronounced vaginal dryness after 40, and what lubricants do you recommend for women over 40?
A: Aaaah, the Magic of Estrogen.
First, a little background: Before puberty, estrogen levels in girls circulate at a tiny fraction of normal adult levels. At puberty, the ovaries start cranking out estrogen to full – range, grown woman levels, and stay that way til about age 35, when the slippery slope toward menopause goes gently into first gear.

It seems to me that no matter what religion you follow, the power of positive thought is always close at hand.
Recently I have been following the “Law of Attraction” and have noticed a definite change around me.
The Abraham-Hicks motto is “You are loved. All is well”. It has kind of a beautiful ring to it, right? If we were to just stop for a moment and think about it, life is (in fact) beautiful, and we should choose to smile more often than scowl. Read More »
