I Started HRT at 39: The Truth No One Warns You About

We generally associate Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) with middle-aged women. But going through menopause is not always a straightforward event for women and hormones can start to wreak havoc on our system at any age. Perimenopause is the period when the body starts to withdraw from estrogen in preparation for menopause, and can begin years before the menopause is officially diagnosed, causing a host of symptoms including fatigue, irritability, insomnia and brain fogginess.

A Fiery Family Feast: Our Visit to Benihana Chelsea

To celebrate my son’s fourth birthday, my family and I headed to Benihana Chelsea – and what an unforgettable experience it turned out to be.

From the very moment we stepped through the doors, it was clear this wasn’t just about dining – it was about creating lasting memories, especially for families.
