For years, estrogen was treated like something dangerous — something to fear, avoid, or whisper about. But estrogen is not the villain of women’s health. It is foundational. Understanding estrogen — how it works, how it’s delivered, and how it can be used thoughtfully — gives women agency over how they feel in their bodies as we age. And agency changes everything. This post is about estrogen specifically: the hormone, the forms, the dosing realities, and the quiet ways it sup

And finally having the confidence to ask for it. A modern, honest look at hormones, health, and feeling good in your body For decades, women were quietly taught to endure. Endure hot flashes. Endure vaginal dryness. Endure loss of libido. Endure poor sleep, mood changes, brain fog, and the slow feeling of disappearing from our own bodies. And for many years, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was unfairly cast as dangerous — particularly after early interpretations of the Wome

Spoiler: You don’t need a giant machine to feel strong, long, and lifted. If you’ve ever peeked inside a pilates studio and thought, “Those reformers are beautiful…but that’s not fitting in my apartment,”  you’re in good company. I’ve been there too — admiring the elegance, the strength, the long lines — and wondering if I could ever recreate that magic at home. The sweet news? Yes, you absolutely can. And it doesn’t require a reformer, a membership, or a spare room. Just a l

There’s a quiet revolution happening all around us, and most of us miss it entirely. It’s gentle, silent, and green… unfolding right in our homes, gardens, and forests. Plants — the very beings we walk past every day — are evolving faster than anyone expected. Not over centuries, but right now , in real time. And when I first learned this, it felt like someone handed me a love letter from nature. Because their story is really our  story. It’s about adapting. About soft resili

I cannot wait to talk about The Age of Disclosure on Prime. I went all in and bought it — because renting would never have been enough. I’m already on my second watch, curled up with that electric feeling you get when your mind and your imagination both come alive. Time travelers. An entire world beneath the sea floor. Non-human biological intelligence. And some of the most reputable, brilliant voices speaking about it with calm conviction — Marco Rubio included. The world is

Every day is a chance to begin again — to become a little stronger, clearer, and more intentional. These aren’t rules to live by, just rhythms that help you live well, body and soul. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s alignment. These are the things that make life feel balanced, beautiful, and full. Lift or move intentionally at least 4× weekly. Strength training builds longevity and confidence — but walks, biking, dancing, or play count too. Move your body in ways that remind y

A poetic exploration of how the discovery of a new moon around Uranus and the rise of AI mirror each other — reminding us that curiosity connects us to both the universe above and the one within. Some discoveries remind us that wonder is not something we outgrow — it’s something we orbit. Recently, astronomers found a new moon circling Uranus , a small, faint sphere quietly keeping pace with the giant planet for who knows how long. It wasn’t new , of course — it was simply un

By Honey I took a break from my Omnipod for a while, but recently started wearing it again — this time more discreetly on my thigh, hip, or abdomen. It’s so comfortable now that I often forget it’s even there. Still, for weeks, I’ve been frustrated with my blood sugars, wondering why my Omnipod seemed out of sync. My total daily insulin dose was less than 16 units, yet more than 72% of that was basal. My boluses barely showed up to the party. Last week, when my endocrinologis

Today, my son and I rode in Lowvelo , a bike ride to raise awareness and money for cancer research. I don’t spend much of my time revisiting thoughts about my own cancer survival, but I do realize that I’m one of the lucky ones. And because of that, I try my very best not to take this life of mine for granted. Today’s ride didn’t make me think about what I don’t  have—it made me think about what I’ve let go of . My blood sugar behaved beautifully (small victories matter!). Be

Lately, I’ve been sleeping like I haven’t in years — the kind of deep, easy sleep that feels like my body sighs, “Finally.” I started going to bed before 9:00 PM, usually fast asleep by 9:45, and no later than 10. My alarm goes off at 4:45 AM, and even if I linger for a few quiet minutes, by 5:00 my feet are on the floor and I’m out the door for a brisk 3.5 to 4-mile walk. It’s become my rhythm — my body’s natural song. And now that I’ve learned how our gut actually knows the

By Honey Discover how a newly uncovered Aegean land bridge and a breakthrough in quantum matter remind us that life’s paths—like the earth’s—shift, submerge, and resurface, leading us toward rediscovery, resilience, and wonder. Just because something was hidden doesn’t mean it was lost. There’s a quiet astonishment that comes with realizing the world still holds secrets. Just when we think we’ve mapped it all—the continents, the constellations, even the corners of our hearts—

By Honey If you’ve been paying attention, it’s not your imagination — something extraordinary is unfolding in the world of longevity science. What once sounded like pure science fiction is steadily becoming reality: gene therapies  that may extend lifespan, artificial intelligence  uncovering new molecules to slow aging, and even mushrooms  — yes, humble mushrooms — revealing secrets that could help us age not just longer, but better. But before you start Googling “magic mush

I don’t know how long I’ll be single — but I do know what I’m waiting for. A man who chooses me, not because it’s easy, but because it’s right. A man who stands firm in his truth, unshaken by fear or the opinions of others. A man who’s my best friend — playful, passionate, and alive with curiosity. One who can’t stop being silly, who finds wonder in the little things, and who still wants to explore everywhere with me. I want the kind of love that steadies the heartbeat and qu

Science now confirms what we’ve always felt in our hearts — that love doesn’t just lift our spirits; it shapes our biology. From healing heartbreak to living longer, connection truly is the secret ingredient to health and happiness. The Heart Knows Before the Science Does True love never really leaves us. Even when it ends — even when it’s unreturned — a piece of it remains tucked quietly within us, woven into the fabric of who we are. That’s what our hearts are made for: to

Legacy of Honey There’s something fascinating about seeing yourself broken down into percentages and traits — as if a little chart could explain how you came to be you. My recent ancestry results read like a map of charm and curiosity: A swirl of Southeastern England and Celtic roots, a sprinkle of Scotland and Ireland, just enough Nordic and Germanic influence to make things interesting, and of course, one percent Native American, which I love! Apparently, I’m genetically co
