Plus I took her quiz LIVE to figure out which of the four pillars of health I needed focus on.

Some of the things we discussed:

- What are the four pillars of health?

- What is holistic nutrition?

I think many of us have been feeling despair since last week.

Over the years I've experienced the death of my baby to SIDS, the loss of a dear friend, the devastating diagnosis for my husband of Primary Progressive MS and, yes, the election.

Many women right now are trying to process their grief and despair and are unsure how.

I'm providing a few pieces of advice that have helped me get through all of these situations in my life. I hope they help you.

Leave it to a woman to see a problem and create a solution!

That's what Joy Brown Kirst, Founder of Modern Age Skin did. As a Practical Activist, armed with an entrepreneurial spirit, Joy set out to create Modern Age Skin after she realized there was an untapped market with perimenopausal and menopausal women like herself.

She left a successful 25 year-career in the corporate sector to form the company with a passion for creating a skin care line with high quality, natural ingredients to treat the unique symptoms women in midlife face. Her company celebrates the ANTI anti-aging revolution and honors the authentic beauty of women in midlife.

As a special gift for my listeners, Joy is giving 15% off her award winning product, the Innovator. Just type in the code MidMav15 at checkout.

Some of the things we discussed:

- Why doctors aren't talking about perimenopause.

- Why hormone tests aren't necessarily accurate.

- Why even women with oily skin should use a dry oil on their skin.

- Why we both hate the "anti-aging" message.
