Water, good food, exercise, sun, sleep and most importantly, God 🙂
Few of us get enough sun. And even if we take vitamin D, we still need the sun for at least 20 minutes a day. We also need fresh air. Sitting in an office or working in a store breathing recycled air all the time is not good for us. Put a chair out in your yard or on the front porch and just go out there and sit sometimes. Don't even take a book or your phone with you. Just sit and look at the trees, the sky, cars going by, the neighbor's cat, or what have you. Just chill on nothing. Your brain will love you for it.
All the best stuff ! 👍🏻
I agree!
No to exercise or sun, but the rest are good for me
AMEN!
Take care of yourself Money Mom The World Needs You!! 😃
Thank you
One thing you have down pat is
you're a beautiful soul 😇
@DeborahABeliever .... I'll ''2nd'' your Comment, 100 % - Thanks for sharing : ) HAGD !
Absolutely!
You are so kind

Right?!
I'm one of your older subscribers at 72. I gained weight during the pandemic while sitting around and worrying. After that, my husband had a serious health scare and eventually two hip replacements. Through all this I continued to put the pounds on and became very careless about our diet. A couple of months ago I decided I had to change. I cut out all refined sugar, chocolate, diet sodas, and bread. We quit eating out so much and aren't eating as many processed foods. So far I've lost 14 pounds. I just set a goal of 1 pound a week. That's doable for me and gives me a continual feeling of success and I'm already feeling the results in my joints. The hardest part was just getting started. Good luck to you in your endeavors!
Congrats on your 14 pounds
Beginning the day with God always sets your day up to be a good one (even when it isn't....!). Great tips, Dawn! Take care of yourself. 🥰❤
Amen 🙏
I’ve been spending way too much time scrolling! And I’ve been eating too much sugar. Scrolling wastes time and too much sugar makes me tired!
True
I have UA-cam that’s it. No time for the drama on Facebook and I do check emails once a day.
And no sugar. There is literally nothing good for our bodies with sugar. Nothing.
this is exactly me, its so hard to stop though 😢
IMO, YT is just as bad. For me anyway.
Me to
I of course need to eat healthier, exercise more, and sleep better. But starting my day with a little prayer and reading my Bible would probably set the day’s path a little straighter.
For sure
I try to get my friends to exercise with me , but they never want to. Instead, they take medications and deal with health issues. 😢
I have the same challenge with my friends and I am especially challenged because they won't look at the impact of food on their health.
12 years ago after my work accident (broke my neck, tore both my rotator cuffs and my ulner nerve on my dominate arm got impinged. Needed 4 surgeries. And I was on 7 meds after all these surgeries and gained 50 pounds. After 4 years I said I feel like Hell ! I got off all the meds, started exercising again and I’m down 40 pounds and I feel SO much better now. There’s nothing like eating real foods, daily exercise and no pills !😊
I have same problem, no takers but i am still encouraged even if i have to just walk in a circle in my back yard 😂 alone
Same problem here! I had lunch with several ladies who are 5 to 10 years younger than I am and the big topic of conversation was how to get Wegovy, not how to workout and eat healthier.
Same, had to make some new friends, joined a running group and hiking group!
I'm having trouble sleeping. I know I need to quit looking at my phone and read a book instead. It's a hard habit to break!
@susanf4857 Here's the type of things that cause me to lose sleep. Last night a girl and her friend (we don't know either of them) that was with her knocked on our door, and said her brother had run away from home and she wondered if we had happened to see him walking down the street by any chance. I'm guessing they live on our street and guessing that they went door to door trying to see if anyone had seen him. She showed us a picture of her brother from her phone. I know these types of things happen all the time and usually end up getting resolved by themselves, but it upset me that her brother had run away, and that they were having to go to neighbors to try to see if anyone had seen him, and so it took a while before I could calm down enough to go to sleep. I was worried about him & his family.
@@Sheryl777I can see how that would affect you. Did they call the police?
@@Sheryl777 After looking around the house and calling his friends, I would've called the police.
I have noticed the same problem. Much of my work week is in front of a computer screen. I read that the blue light from devices creates sleep problems and that you need to avoid using devices for a minimum of 2 hours before going to bed. I've adjusted my schedule to start taking better care of myself and am finding my energy is increasing.
@@thrivingsuccessfully 👍
*Easing into the day* is so important (versus waking up late and running around like a chicken with their head cut off 👀) . Your tips are all spot on, thank you.
P.S. your *thumbnail* is priceless 🤣
That could be an issue if you maaaybe still have to work a little, or younger and not retired or have grandkids to take care of, etc, but I always go to bed at 4:30 a.m and get up around 11a.m and dont have to "run around" for anything?? it works well for me, and even if I DO have something you usually have until 6p.m to do most things so no rush here....I am definitely NOT a morning person, never have been, even worked the night shift.
Thank you. I agree about easing into the day
I had been sleeping way too much. But I realized I was doing that to avoid a lot of things in my life. I am now trying to change. Thanks money mom.
Been there and done that. It’s hard sometimes.
I do understand. You will get there
Being a night owl is something I need to watch out for. Before I realize it, it's 1:00 AM! Then have a hard time falling asleep. Going upstairs to bed earlier DOES help and the next day goes better.
Yes, I am the same way!!!
I totally understand
When we're unable to go to sleep or if we wake up an hour after falling asleep, it means our bodies have too much cortisole and we need to destress.
Good to know
Really? Does it matter how to destress
@@Joce123 whatever works for you but from my experience, conrtisole or adrenal fatigue takes time to heal from. I do evening yoga, take magnesium and try to slow down my life.
@@Joce123 look up Dr. Berg's videos on adrenal fatigue and his video called "why it is hard to turn stress (conrtisole) off". Lots of good info and comment section has useful tips.
@@silentnot4812 food is not the only reason for our stress. Sometimes it's the other way around. We crave certain foods like sugar or carbs bc of stress and other hormonal imbalances. But you're right, food and vitamins are important for healing mental health and hormonal imbalance.
We gave up sugar a couple of months ago, after a health scare. It was easier than we expected. Haven’t lost weight, but I feel amazing.
That's great! 👍
I admire you. Sugar has always been a tough one for me. My Mom was a T2 Diabetic for years, and I've been able to avoid that, but it has been difficult. I my chocolate!
Congrats
My husband and I went Carnivore Jan 1 2023.
My husband and both lost weight. No aches and pains. No swelling in legs and feet. Blood Pressure and heart rate is normal. I got off of anti depressants for headaches! No more acid reflux! Sleeping good. We have had so many good things to come out of it.
I was just going to try it for a couple of weeks with my husband until I started loving it.
It's not that expensive. You are not eating junk, which by the pound unit is way more expensive. No expensive sauces, sides and processed foods. Less food prep and clean up. (TIME)
Dawn and everyone that is having health issues. I CHALLENGE YOU TO GIVE IT A TRY. If only for a few weeks. No it's not a piece of CAKE (no pun intended). It really does get easier every day. You soon will not think about food as much.
Yes we do have a treat sometimes!🍉🍪🍅🍋🍓🎂
I wish you all Health and Blessings
Rhonda from TN
❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
We’ve done the same except we eat meat and eggs, fish and lots of raw veggies. Very very very limited carbs. The main carbs we get are in things like Cashews. Love all nuts and seeds and chock full of protein ! I think wether people do well on carnivore or vegan … I think we can all agree that the fried foods, junk foods, and processed junk foods are so bad for our health
Thank you, Rhonda. What kind of diet is Carnivore? What are you eating? I understand that you've cut all carbs, but how about healthy fresh leafy vegetables?
We were using it as an elimination diet. To see what was causing issues.
We started to feel so good on zero carbs. We kept going.
We have started to add things from the garden. Cabbage,, mustard greens and herbs.
We have been getting strawberries for 3 weeks. We eat them fresh 3-5 per day each.
Mainly we eat:
Sardine
Eggs
Grilled Meat
Roasted Meat
Cream and cream cheese
Cheeses
Butter
We noticed when we added tomatoes or even Keto bread we started having joint issues.
Research this diet. There's a lot on UA-cam about it. Plus many testimonies all over the world.
How wonderful
The Carnivore diet is dangerous long term.
I have decided to limit my yardwork to 2.5 hours a day...not caring if my neighbors would like to see as many flowerbeds. They dont put in the constant work.
I garden for me. More veggies versus flowers anymore. 😅
2.5 hours is quite a lot of yard work! I have had sun stroke several times -- doesn't take long in the South.
Good for you!
Good for you! 2 1/2 hours so your neighbors would see more flowers? What about you? Did you like the time you spent--were the extra flowers worth it for you? I think it's nice to want to make other people happy, but if the satisfaction to yourself is not adequate, and you become a slave to people pleasing, what's the point? If your neighbors want flowers, why are they not out there doing the work?
@@thrivingsuccessfully But then everyone is saying "eat right, exercise more" so I consider all my few hours outside in the yard exercise!!
Spending time with God first thing in your day is the best! Another thing to do, which will greatly help you feel better, is sitting out in the sun for at least half hour everyday. Vitamin-D helps with depression and just overall well-being. Vitamin D is especially good for people with thyroid issues as we tend to suffer with low-mood.
sounds wonderful
Severe insomnia affects everything.
You need to figure out what is causing the insomnia
Are you eating right before bed ? Is your mind racing with “to do list items” ?
I have to fall asleep watching/listening to a fun old sitcom on UA-cam. That helps me a lot. Just had to try different things to figure it out. Good luck
You're right!
for sure
This happened to me everything you said a yr ago. I ended up losing weight frim 210 to 185. Quit smoking, eating healthier on our homestead with Mediterranean lifestyle. And now for my teeth fixed, we evennjoined a gym. I'm here to tell you when you get your life balanced to a healthier way of living and go back to the old it will make you sick ......... im going through that now with these teeth not being able to eat the way I use to. I lost my energy, suck to my stomach, major heart burn.... girl I want to go back so badly I'm going to figure this out. I just thought I would add once you change you will notice the difference. My hair and skin even improved.
I'm so sorry about your teeth. If your mouth hurts, you hurt all over. I hope you can get back to feeling better.
You have come a long way
Definitely need to get back on a morning routine of exercise. I tend to overthink it when it can be really simple at first especially. Thanks money mom, you’re an encouragement!
Sorry to see you ragged.
Yes, sleep routine! Huge.
Wake up routine. Huge.
Put the phone down. Let messages layer up.
Hydrate.
Walk.
Do hand weights.
Eat fresh and practice intermittent fasting.
Step by step :)
This is a perfect list!!! I am planning to stop TV/computer time 2 hours before bed, read a book or have a hot foot soak, listen to music, or chat with an easy-going friend on the phone. The morning routine I already have - is bed exercises and a contrast shower. Then a 15 to 20-minute walk in any weather conditions. If it rains - humans invented an umbrella. I grab it. Sometimes I need rain boots.
I will think of having hand weights. I used to have wrap-around wrist weights, but lost them somewhere
I monitor myself like many monitor spending. What's 'off'? We are a combination of spiritual, mental, physical. Balance.
I am an eternal night owl, and retired 6yrs ago after working different shifts, used to the graveyard and also evening, husband is retired too and completely disabled now, he goes to bed early 9p.m and gets up around in the a.m. but I LIKE being a nightowl, he is down for the night, and I then turn on my radio, do dishes, water plants, watch youtube, shower, prep food for tomorrow, etc so MY bedtime is always!! 4:30 a.m and get up at 11a.m I let myself wake up, no alarm unless an appt, I have no issues, I have my routine, I get around after getting up, low carb breakfast, take meds, look at emails, then go outside everyday for a couple hours, feed birds, water garden, do plants, feed feral cats, wash car, go shopping, go to store, run errands, but I tried!!!! going to bed around midnight and getting up around 7a.m and it was HORRIBLE, never doing that again, I am a night owl for life
My routine is the same. Some of us are natural born night owls.
I don't exercise enough...and I eat too much junk food...like snickers amd chips...I have cut out snickers but chips has to go too....😅😅😅
I’m at a pivotal point in my life as I have turned 50 and my last child it’s about to graduate from high school in a couple weeks. Many years of putting myself on the back burner health wise.
Yes, sleep is important. I usually sleep really well, but on a rare occasion, I will toss and turn and if it goes on too long, I will take one or two Advil. I'm talking like this happens 3 or 4 times a year. But I'm mentioning it because I always go to sleep after taking an Advil for some reason. I'm 67 and maybe I have little aches and pains that I hardly notice, but they are keeping me awake, Advil works every time.
Tylenol works for me, without the GI risks.
There are days I ache as well. I like acetaminophen better than Advil because there are no tummy upsets. But sometimes taking a couple of them really helps. My gig work schedule can be physically demainding and I have osteo-arthritis. After a day of merchandising in Big Box Stores, I generally ache pretty bad. But the acetaminophen helps, and I can keep to my daily schedule. I love getting up at 5am and am generally in bed by 11pm.
Mine is taking supplements, vit d especially...husband having prostate removal surgery next month; even though he's only 55( im 63), but gotta be strong mentally and physically to take care of him❤ive kept off the menopause 50lbs i lost, but added multivitamin and other supplements since now only eat once a day🤗
You are doing fantastic. Best wishes to your hubby
@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom thanks dawn, that thumbnail had me roaring( much needed), looks like me when a hot flash happens🤣
I'm not a doctor. My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer late last year. His doctor only discussed surgery and the removal of the prostate. We contacted MD Anderson in Houston. They approved him for a second opinion. My husband sent all his records, and we went over for various tests and imaging. He received 6 weeks of radiation. We needed to move to Houston and lived in a small apartment for him to receive daily treatment. They were wonderful. My husband is 75, but didn't want the side effects of surgery if it could be avoided. Your husband's situation may be totally different, and he needs surgery. I'm just encouraging a second opinion.
I’d say the most important thing to do is to eat healthy and not overeat and to get in better shape for me that means walking daily or at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes
My biggest problem so far this year is not being able to go outside. I live in the Midwest, and we are known for extreme weather situations... extremely hot or extremely cold. Looking forward to May, hopefully I can get out and go more... I'm definitely not one who likes cold or setting in the house all winter, there's only so much one can do having to be homebound.
I agree with you!
I live about 2 hours from Chicago and I know just what you mean, although I can keep busy sewing, but I make spaghetti and that can really make you feel good when it's cold out.
@@bunniesandroses499 Thanks, I will try to remember the spaghetti 🍝 meal!
@@virginiamaciuleviciene606 At least we are facing a good spring... can't hardly wait til it's mid seventies everyday!
I am from MN
Today is my 9th day of a 75% low carb veggie diet . The other 25% of my diet is made up of meat , fruit, and fiber cereal. I started feeling better on day 3 had more energy and less pain on day 5 and today day 9 i am bursting with crazy energy i have been on a house cleaning mission today. I did treat myself to 1/2 a candy bar today. My energy has me very excited to see how i feel in 30 days.
That's wonderful!
I am so happy for you
I have found that if you find an activity you enjoy you will continue it and it won't be 'exercise'. If it really grabs your attention and you are passionate, food won't matter as much and you won't want to eat as much. As we get older we don't need as much food. Eating less can also benefit our budget too. Buy high quality natural in less quantity. I also take a daily multi vitamin to ensure all the nutrients are accpunted for.
I connect with this message. Interesting for me- I’m watching a series called Abandoned Structures (2017) When I don’t or can’t move- it’s sort of how I feel! Like I’m abandoning my structure- need to move more daily. Even if a bit more than yesterday.
Great comment
Good for you!
Not getting enough exercise. Making everybody in my family, their problems my problems. Trying to solve them, not taking care of my self. Eating to much processed food. To much salt and sugar. Not getting out in the sun enough. Have a blessed day😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
I understand
I'm guilty of some of those, too!
It is hard to devote a block of time to exercise since I have family commitments, so I split my walking to 15-20 minutes in the morning and repeat it in the evening. Works out great. Thank you for another great video, Money Mom. God bless you ❤️
Great idea
If you can’t get a good casual 30 min walk in, try a 10 min power brisk walk. Get that heart rate up and it helps blood to circulate everywhere ! 😊
Probably better, actually (the 20/20, not the above comment).
Good for you! It proves the saying, where there's a will, there's a way!
The CDC's Physical Activity Guidelines say that an adult needs 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity, Sounds like you are doing fine!
I had neglect after my injuries 12 years ago. And I got complacent with the 7 different meds I was prescribed for pain and depression. But I finally realized that I needed to kick myself in the butt and get off my butt and get healthy again. I quit the junk foods, I quit ALL the pills at once (I don’t recommend. Awful withdrawals !) but I had had enough ! So I started walking and gradually increased my exercise and started eating healthy again. I’m down 40 out of the 50 pounds I gained and I feel so good now.
We only are given one body in this life, and I chose to take care of it. I’m 58 and I like being able to keep up with my pre teen grandkids ! 😊😂
awsome!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy for you!
Way to go lady! We each have the ability to create the life we want to live. We just have to stop feeling like victims and crying over the choices we chose to make that led to the things that challenge us. I, too have had to learn that taking care of myself is the thing that will give me the life I want to live. I admire your tenacity.
You speak the truth
@@thrivingsuccessfully
Thank you so much 😊
I downloaded an app that lets me record my meals for the day. It counts in the calories fat ect. That has been helpful for me to watch those areas.
It also records how many steps I take, but only if my phone is on me so often the steps recorded are not accurate because I dont always have my phone on me, for example, when Im cleaning.
I find it helpful, though, in being mindful of what I am eating and doing during the day.
Also, I can record my water intake
It just keeps my awareness of self care.
Fantastic
I've neglected getting exercise, and I can really tell it. If you run out of energy, you can't clean the house very easily, or anything else you want or need to be able to do. I need to start walking like yesterday!
So true!
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom 👍
You're right!
@@3TXSisters ❤
I do not start easing into the day with meditation or prayer, but I do bed exercises lying on the mattress since my back hurts. There are plenty of examples on UA-cam of what to do. They do not have to be strenuous exercises, as long as you repeat them for at least 10-15min
it is much more easy to start moving after I get out of bed and good to take a contrast shower after you warm up a little.
I can identify. We can all neglect our health at times. I try to do the best I can, but life gets in the way sometimes, I pray about it too. Good tips here to get everyone back on track.
Thank you love
Good for you on working on all the improvements!
Hello MM and community, here's what I learned from youtube: Iack of sleep causes anxiety and irritability. We should be asleep between 11 pm-4 am for our body to go into deep sleep and our brain to cleanse itself, including from diseases like Alzheimers.
Thank you
That's only 5 hrs?
@@sjbutler2330 sorry I meant our sleep schedule should include those hours. So we should be asleep any time before 11 am and not wake up before 4 am.
I so agree with you! When I lived my life going to bed so late that I struggled to get up at a decent hour, I was always tired, depressed, and dysfunctional. Now, my body wakes before my alarm goes off and I'm ready to jump out of bed and run! The hours between 4am and 8am are the most productive and happy of my day!
@@thrivingsuccessfully It is all a mindset and who decided what a 'decent' hour is?? everyone is different and for years I had to be to work at 5-6am and I haaaated it, I ALWAYS felt out of whack, I got plenty of rest as my husband worked night shift but I did not sleep well, then I changed to night(grave) shift and my body just clicked! I loooove being a night owl, I go to bed at 4:30am and get up around 11am and let myself wake up naturally, no issues, I feel fine, I have no problems getting my things done, and dont really understand all these people saying they HAVE to get up early so they are not "running around"??? to do what? I have no grandkids, no pets, and now retired come and go as I please and have no problems, BP is fine, not sleepy during the day and I hate taking naps, I work outside every day, year round, husband is disabled so I do it all, but going to bed early and getting up early to "seize the day"??? not this ol lady, I am seizing the night!
Guilty.... Winter gets me every time.🤦♀
Same here
Great share, Dawn. Love the thumbnail. I think, personally, I eat pretty good most of the time and sleep really well. But I think that I should have been prioritizing heavy lifting over cardio all these years, as well as getting in enough protein to build muscle. I'm working on it now. 👍
sounds good
Love your creativity ❤
My goodness, you just described my life. At 55 it is a challenge to change.
So true!
May be a challenge, but you can do it bookworm! 👍🤗
Thank you, this video has definitely inspired me to make a change.
I am wanting to grow more healthy mentally and physically. Also grow more in my relationship with God. I want to walk more and lift some small weights I have . Exercise has never been my favorite but walking is good and I can spend some time talking with God and seeing the beauty he created. Blessings on your new journey with change.
You have great goals!
I can totally relate to your night owl situation especially at the moment where i had an early morning appointment with my therapist only to find out when i got to the clinic she had put down the wrong date on my appointment card. So here i was tired with a bad case of heartburn and waking up every hour or so to make sure i get up on time for my appointment while if i had been sleeping at night regularly i would have been up early enough to do what needs to be done with welcomed ease. Night time is a beautiful peaceful time but there are ways to make the day peaceful too with things like headphones or playing relaxing music or podcasts over the speaker at a comfortable volume etc. Lately its been a real pain because the minute i get comfortable being in night owl mode even with getting all my sleeping hours during the day things suddenly just get busy and am like what the heck man. Also staying up at these hours when things do occur during the day its harder to deal with routine problems such as my heartburn or acid reflux where it takes longer to deal with compared to it going away pretty fast thanks to sleeping properly etc. Also getting out for walks tend to be later during the day as well as doing chores like food shopping where i have to rush before the supermarket closes etc. Its like everything gets delayed and pushed back and interferes with the other getting done in a crowded atmosphere.
On the making time with god or whatever your faith is it definitely makes a difference in conditioning the mind and spirit to deal with the day in a much more positive matter. I love to meditate in the morning and or evening which helps to clear my mind and realize all things can be dealt with in a positive manner and there is no need to feel overwhelmed. This is also why i write down on my Calander all my appointments and things to do like trips to the pharmacy etc so i can see it in a physical form and realize oh there is not that much to do today or this week.
Yep being a friend to yourself is one of the best ways to guide yourself in a caring compassionate way which will carry over to how you treat others. Many times i will imagine present self as a child and that other voice that friend as some wise ancient guide who reminds what i should or should not be doing, what heathy foods to enjoy and the consequences of eating unhealthy. I also will call up memories of past friends and family playing them like a tape in my mind as if they were actually here as they tell me words of wisdom flowing with humor or a caring warning that i should know better then to engage in so and so activity.
I always go on walks at least three to four times a week enjoying all the parkland in my neighborhood. Also naps almost every day really make a difference in keeping my mind crispy clear and my body refreshed and invigorated.
Thanks for the great helpful and timely video and hope things get back on track for you in as comfortable a manner as possible💙
I know exactly what you mean about the anxiety of an early appointment. I usually just stay up as it's easier than trying to sleep, only to check the clock every 2 hours. I'm hoping to use a sleep therapy my doctor's recommended. I just need to be home for 6 weeks in a row. Good for you to find ways to be healthy.
@@3TXSisters I did that last month which brought back memories of my twenties when i wanted to do something early in the morning to avoid annoying afternoon crowds and stayed up most of the night then catching up on my sleep once i got home. Back then it was easier to do since i was younger and healthier so appointments were non existent and sleep easy to catch up on.
Thanks for the reply and support 3TXSisters. Best wishes on getting your sleep pattern back to a natural flow with your life 😊
Thank you for the excellent comment. I love how you take walks. You are doing so many good things.

@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom Thanks! A very healthy habit i got from my mom back in the 1970's when she used to walk us everywhere during heatwave summers due to the high cost of bus fare at the time and New York going financially bust. Definitely was fun seeing the different neighborhoods as we walked home including many abandoned blocks which were overrun with wildlife and grass.
Yep, night owl 🦉

Spiritual health is important i start my mornings earlly by pray forst
I suffer badly from hot flashes
So bad at night for 17 years
Doctors will not give me Estrogen
They now say it’s too late to get HRT replacement to stop these hot flashes
I can’t sleep through the night for 17 years
I kick the blankets off and then I start getting very cold .I sweat badly about every 30 minutes all night .
The doctors check my thyroid every year
It’s not my thyroid
It’s my body screaming for estrogen
I’m so mentally and physically exhausted
I have brain fog
And 53 more things going on because of not have estrogen replacement.
I’ve gained over 98 pounds since the hot flashes started.
I’m so tired.
I hardly can get anything done
I feel exhausted.
All the doctors that I have seen for 17 years
Just want to give me the Menopause cocktail ,
Anti-depressant
Anxiety medication
Sleeping pills
But will not give me what my body needs
Estrogen protects your bones, your heart and your brain
It also prevents. 53 symptoms that women go through .
Look up The Healthy Life with Marcus Rothkranz. He has a whole (recent ) video all about menopause and hormones. It’s very good.
On a personal note, what has helped me get rid of about 90% of my hot flashes is cutting out the sugar and junk food. Eating raw veggies and meat. Not eating 4 hours prior to bedtime. I have zero alcohol ! And I’ve cut back my coffee to just 1 cup in the morning.
Not having all that estrogen as we get older is fine. We don’t need it. We’re not having babies anymore and HRT has been linked to some cancers. So I never would do it.
Oh, and I drink more water too. Hope this helps you 😊

I attached that video here for you. Both my husband and I follow him and his girlfriend. He’s 61, she’s 55. I believe he knows more about health than Drs do. Doctors get zero nutrition classes in their schooling and they only write prescriptions to mask the symptoms and not solve the problem. I too was once on all kinds of pills for everything. I changed my diet, exercised, quit sugar and alcohol , limited my coffee and get 10,000 IU of D -k2 daily ! So crucial for a healthy immune system
See another doctor.
Music lover, the doctor might not want to give you estrogen because of the risk of blood clots as we get older. If possible get blood work that tells you if you are prone to getting them. I am post menopausal and I have a clotting problem. Also see about a holistic doctor in your area. God bless you.
I can totally agree with this,I'm the same😢❤
I'm always on a program of self improvement. I feel very good about where I am now. Took lots of years to get here. My doctor told me "Keep doing what you're doing" and that's what I intend to do (with tweaks, of course :) You are very self aware. You know what to do. It's not easy but take baby steps. No matter how little. It's the consistency that counts. I believe in you!! xoxo
I must say, you are downright adorable in your cozy nightgown! I love your videos and really appreciate your candidness.
Thanks much
In the morning i have few hours to my self yes mental health was trying to help to much i wasnt taking care of me
Your family must get a kick out of your thumbnails! You're so right about caring for yourself in all aspects of living. Sleep has been elusive to me most of my life. The only reason I'm not sleep deprived is because I can sleep as late as I want. However, it's detrimental to other aspects of my life. If wanting something to be better were the only criteria to success, we'd never have any difficulties. I seem to be able to only work on one problem at a time. I think sleep may be the next important task for me. Thank you for your encouragement. Hearing a positive person daily is therapeutic. Love to all, Linda 💕
She's so funny , I'm still laughing. 😅
@@ceciliaperales8466 I know. We have our own Lucille Ball
Yay Linda! Making the choice to take control of your life and stop the things that are destrictive will truly make your life what you want it to be!
My poor family
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom They love you! 💕
Hi Money Mom, you were definitely in my head with your comments. I’m 70 and learning how to be a friend to myself. I’m learning about and implementing patterns of better Sleep Hygiene and cutting sugar. I’m a Dance Minister at my church, i exercise and walk and have a good relationship with studying the word… and my relationship with God. But poor sleep hygiene and over indulgence in sweets can derail the healthiest of lives. I’m working with a therapist and working on myself. Thank you for being an encourager and putting it out there. Bless you much- Dobbie ❤
Thank you dear lady
I am taking in all these points. That people pleaser hit home. These are all so important. Thanks Dawn. Seriously, thanks. I need to work on these because I do not take care of myself .
Thank you love
I hope you feel great soon Dawn, and don't push yourself , if you are stressed out make sure you get a lot of rest.
Thank you for another great video, Money Mom. God bless you. Love comments under your videos!
You are so welcome
I get up on average at 6am, if i get up after 8 i feel like half the day is gone. At night i have stopped eating at 8 pm. No phone for at least an hour before bed. I end up getting in bed around 11
I have asked other commenters on here "half of WHOSE day is gone"?? we are conditioned since we are young to only be constructive in the day and bed down for the night, but not everyones circadian rhythm is the same! it is a known biological habit that sets our rhythm and also may have some genetic patterns, that is why some people thrive getting up at 6am and hit the ground running, but others dont function well until the evening, yes we have "learned" behavior from work, children etc but the very most important thing is a routine with your pattern, does not matter if you sleep 7 hrs in the am or pm but as long as you are consistent! and all this info is from the sleepcenter!
I hope you continue to prioritize your health and well being, one adjustment at a time and you'll reach your goal. So important to recenter each day and acknowledge that we need down time, shut off devices and focus on ourselves. You gave great suggestions, it's a learning process for us all, be well, continue on your wellness journey!
Thank you
I dont neglect my dental hygiene . I get a PAP test every 3 years. Dont neglect things that bother you , get support from your family and get professional help. I admire you for trying to improve your health habits, it is never too late. A lot of us struggle with this subject.
If I dont succeed on my first try to get a new habit, I just try and try again, eventually, it will stick.
I have neglected a lot and am not working on any, going into a slow burn out, plus I'm a libra and true to our scale we need a balance. I have been out and started a fire in my tire rim fire pit and loved every time I had to complain about the smoke getting in my eyes. ❤❤❤♨️

@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom to deal with stuff you need to take the lead and give orders.
I love how you love God ❤️
Spending time with God, eating better, exercise more
Yes, all good things!
I hear you money mom! Thankyou. 🙂
You are welcome
Self-care really is very important
At night before bed I listen to a You Tube channel called Lions Path. He is faith based, and has beautiful messages about God. Have A Bless Day Everyone ❤✨
Lovely
I'll look into that. Thank you!
My health is crap! I don't sleep well. I have brain tumors, lung damage, and heart disease, among other health issues. I'm in so much pain that sleeping is hard for me. But you hit the nail on the head with all this. Feel better and get plenty of good sleep!
I am so sorry my friend
May I suggest you show yourself the kindness and care you would provide for your dearest friend? ❤❤❤
sitting is lethal. i saw my nephew over the holidays and he has a computer at home job, and it showed... he's 30 or so but had the overall look of a 40 something guy. personally i lost interest in food after my cat died and he couldn't eat. pigging out seems like a waste of food and self. also, i avoid chips, cookies, candy and any little extra things, just eat the main dish, so to speak which is usually a burger or personal pizza. i should eat more "vedge" as those silly brits call it.
you are funny ...silly brits
Brit here, it's veg not vedge 😂
Never saw U before. I will add, warm water, not cold. Good luck
Thank you for posting things for us and taking all the time! You are so spot on - being a friend to yourself is crucial. Definitely take care of yourself!
Therapy has also been very helpful to me ❤
Hi, Dawn, most people have a weak side… so do I, the night owl… 🦉. There is no law against it, but I feel my inner law, saying: waste of time and health. It’s doing nothing good to me, but it’s a habit. I’ve changed a lot of habits during my lifetime, so there’s another one… if half of the day is gone, before you 'start your day', it’s easier to procrastinate: moving, healthy cooking, finishing work… and TOMORROW becomes our favourite word. Daily moving is my plan, every step counts and 10 minutes are ok. Love, Monika❣
Sounds good
Half of WHOSE day is gone, your day is your own, you get 24hrs in each one, why does it matter which ones you choose to be constructive in?? other than going to a dr appt, or work or if you have kits etc it does not matter if you clean house at 3am or 9am, like I commented earlier I always go to bed at 4:30am and get up around 11am, and I do just fine, I prefer it, I have always felt off kilter getting up at 6am and doing stuff to "get done before the day is gone", I myself choose when my "day" is....I am a night owl forever!
It does the same for Everyone that doesn’t take care of themselves. We all need to learn to love ourselves ❤
We were not active enough and especially not doing enough strengthening exercises. We now spend 2-3 hours outside every day, rain, wind, cold, heat whichever to exercise outside. There’s a saying, the biggest health risk in your house is your couch
That is wonderful
You take good care!
You are a great inspiration to us out here. Thank you for your videos. One thing I have to do for myself is to not feel bad that my productivity is not what it was 20 or so years ago. That really gets me down! Like you say, be kind to ourselves!!!
I so agree
I’ve added lots more salads to my diet; cut up hard boiled egg in them too. Eating a light supper rather than a big dinner. Taking time to call friends. Gardening now that Spring is here. Then spending time outside! And best a of all spending time in my Bible and with the Lord.
Sounds great!
You covered all of my concerns about myself. 😢
I also set the early morning for my time to study God's word which helps you be a good friend to yourself. Thanks for sharing.
What a great video!!
Thanks much
Staying in negative relationships,
Be it family, friends, romantic,work,etc
Procrastinating.
It makes things worse.
Bouncing from thing to thing, you're all over the place,wasting so much time and energy,and yet doing nothing.
My significant other is a flake and lays in bed all day At night I’m sleeping while he’s doing stuff
i love you back. your attitude inspires me. thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
I hear you! I think sleep is the biggest for me...and eating at regular intervals..everything else goes south after that..I also think peace is big...love the tips!
Sending prayers your way!
Sedentary is the word you were looking for.
You are right
Hi Money Mom. Wow did this video resonate with me! I’m doing all the “not good” habits you mentioned. Thank you for the advice and encouragement. ❤
You are so welcome!
I turned 59 in February this year and I’ve been doing or feeling everything you’ve listed here. Your video is great.
I could have written that myself.
I’m feeling older too, getting aches and pains, and I’m feeling the cold weather more (Australia autumn and heading into winter) and I shouldn’t stay up as late as I have been in recent times.
Just can’t do that anymore.
I’m a 1965 older model (not a teen).
Your video has been a very welcome timely reminder for me to start looking after myself better. Thanks.
Happy Belated Birthday
Thanks, Money Mom! ❤
You are very welcome
I walk at work big stairs person I work in a nursing home ❤alot of movement also im tired all the time
I'm sorry you're tired all the time. My doctor recommended several vitamins and other supplements for fatigue. Ask your doctor.
Thanks ❤
I’m a little older than you sweet lady, on the event horizon of 60😊. I was always a slim, lean and healthy woman all my life and lost the baby fat after my three children were born in the 80’s. When I went through menopause in my early 50’s, I noticed what’s called weight creep. I gained 30# and was constantly tired and not myself.
To correct this problem, I cut out all sweetened drinks and drink only plain water (from the tap). I went back to my health weight of 110# in four months.
You can do it. Good health is everything. It gives one better sleep, energy during the day and a better desire reach for those wholesome, nutritious foods.
Take care and blessings from North Alabama.
Love you dear
I can relate to these as well. Thank you for sharing.
Eat whole fresh foods….organic if possible. Drink filtered water. Walk. Get sunshine for vitamin D.
Instead of talking about it …..DO IT. 😊
,✅✅✅ all of the above!!! Thank you for putting this out😊.
You are so welcome!
Deep depression & i isolate. Loneliness is horrible. Family all live in other states, friends have moved away or passed. I don't find anything Golden in aging. Miss my kids, grandkids & great grandkids. Didn't think id be alone in my senior years 😢 😢
Do you want to move
True. All skinny folks are not perfectly healthy. This is where genetics come in. If your family has high cholesterol, you're predisposed to it. In my 40's, I went through a through medical check up. High Cholesterol, high BP, was diagnosed with a chronic genetic heart condition. I weighed 117 lbs, worked out 5x per week, ate low fat, lower carb. Being obese also has disadvantages, joint issues, cardiac issues etc. In some cases you can't win.
Each of us has challenges in our lives. The trick (and the joy of life) is figuring out how to overcome them instead of feeling victimized and giving up.
Dawn,try getting ready for bed early,lay down,get into the mindset of going to sleep at a reasonable time.
No, Dawn,4:00 in the morning is not reasonable.take a hot bath before bed.
It helps a lot.
Drink tart cherry juice.this helps with insomnia,which you likely have.you don't need an elaborate routine.
