Here’s wishing you and your family a happy and safe 4th of July celebration.    Leave the firecrackers to the pros at public displays, protect your ears from the loud bangs and loud music, don’t drive or ride with a driver under the influence of drugs, and protect your skin with sunscreens.  

I’ll be traveling from now until after Labor Day, so I’ll only be in the studio sporadically to file health and recall reports.  Until we next speak:  keep and smile on your face and your body in motion.  These are THE best medicines.

The FDA has approved the oral medicine fezolinetant, branded as Veozah, as an effective treatment for severe vasomotor symptoms brought on by menopause.  This age is a neurokinin 3 receptor antagonist that effectively shields the receptor that controls body temperature.  The pill should be taken once a day, each day at the same time.  The drug’s effectiveness and safety were determined in two randomized, controlled, double-blinded trials.
