I also had a dr's appt. We're getting a lot of that done -good for us!
Mine to meet new dr in the hormone practice who is located closer to my home. My prescription is slightly tweaked, but not much. I enjoyed hearing her extol the virtues of Vit D to me (smile) and reassured her that I had heard of it, yes. She is excited about new studies on multiple sclerosis prevention with Vit D. All in all, I found her very attentive and well-informed, easy to talk to, and I'm grateful since going to her office will be easier for me travel-wise.
She ran in her 9th consecutive Boston Marathon the other day. To say that she is slim is an understatement. There is no bone that is in any way a secret. Not the body type to which I would aspire, but it certainly works for her. Her children are grown, but beyond that I could only guess that she's somewhat younger than me.
For me, and other women like me who are into menopause and fighting the waistline fight, possibly with a compromised thyroid, she is all about reclaiming energy. She is very passionate about B-12, for instance (I am under strict orders to find ways to remember it daily), and of course monitoring the blood work, eating nutritious foods, managing sleep, staying hydrated. She says boosting energy gets to the root of the waistline issues, so she doesn't ask her patients about their weight, but about their energy.
Got Basic workout in before I left.
