      PlushCare can be a valuable resource for those struggling with weight loss. This telehealth provider offers access to doctors who can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications and accept most insurance plans. Additionally, Whole Foods Market is an excellent destination for Mother's Day shopping, offering unbeatable savings on premium gifts, flowers, and desserts. Regarding vitamin supplements, the best time to take them depends on the specific nutrients and the presence of fats or oils for optimal absorption. For example, taking a multivitamin with eggs in the morning is ideal for fat-soluble vitamins. However, it's essential to take calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, and vitamin B12 separately to ensure proper absorption. Taking vitamin B12 twice a day can also increase absorption. This week, I had the pleasure of welcoming leading consultant gynecologist, Mr. Nick Panay, to discuss menopause and HRT in greater depth. Stay tuned for more insights on this topic.

The Society provides a free menopause handbook, regular newsletters, invitations to events, and updates for GPs and other medical professionals who sign up on their website. Additionally, taking a brisk walk for at least 30 minutes a day, whether continuously or in chunks, can significantly improve both mental and physical health.

    Episode 312: Boundaryless: The cost of refusing to set limits.

    Many people struggle to implement boundaries with themselves and with others. And one of the reasons they struggle is because of what they are making boundaries mean.

    Boundaries will make people think I don’t care.
    Boundaries rob me of my freedom.
    I shouldn’t have to set boundaries.
    … just to name a few.

    The truth is, boundaries are what actually afford us deep relationships and freedom in our life.

    In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast I help you to explore:

    • Why you may be “boundary-adverse”.
    • Why having someone else set boundaries FOR you, doesn’t usually end well.
    • Step to consider when implementing boundaries so you will actually honor them.

    If this episode lands for you, please consider sharing it with other women who might benefit from the message.
