“I
was the first baby boomer to have a
prime-time hot flash,” says
Memphis-born supermodel and
movie star Cybill Shepherd. Cybill
continues to inspire women to embrace
mid-life as an exciting time in their lives.
Now turning fifty, Shepherd says she
initially thought of her hot flashes as “sort
of fun.” At first, she called them “power-
surges.” But, soon, the hot flashes became
“really intense and not so much fun.”
Shepherd says she is “not going to
romanticize premenopause and menopause.
It is not easy, but it is also another exciting
stage. It can be explored. You can learn
from it.”
Menopause, Naturally
I
n her new memoir, Cybill Disobedience
(HarperCollins 2000), Cybill urges
women to become critical consumers.
In her own life, Cybill has refused to use
medical drugs for menopausal symptoms.
She isn’t using estrogen because she wants
to “be present during my menopause. If
I’m going to have a hot flash, I want to feel
it!”
In fact, after the famous Cybill
menopause episode aired, she received
many different menopause formulas in the
mail. Today, Cybill has found that
phytoestrogen-rich plants have made all the
difference in the world.
Cybill has her own favorite herbal
formulas, using ingredients found in
Whitewing Labs’ Propause,
and has
®
discussed them quite openly on shows like
Oprah. Our reason for mentioning
Cybill is
to make the point that women do have
options. And Cybill is helping women to
discover those options by talking about
menopause. This is good.
Trend Toward
Natural Medicine
M
any women today are choosing not
to fill their prescriptions for
estrogen and instead forging their
own pathways through menopause, taking a
more natural approach, and you’d better
believe there are a lot of different
approaches.
Dietary supplements that contain red
clover, a key ingredient in Osteosafefrom
®
Whitewing Labs, is just one of the herbal
supplements women are finding may help
their symptoms. Other vitamins and
minerals, including vitamin D,
calcium,
magnesium
and boron, help maintain
skeletal health.
For acute symptoms, however, medical
studies have shown red clover is an excellent
remedy for hot flashes. Its phytoestrogen
content may even help to support healthy
bone density and circulation, reducing risk
of both osteoporosis and heart ailments.
Black cohosh, soy isoflavones,
fennel, wild yam,
vitamin E—nature’s
pharmacy probably offers women more
choices than their doctor ever could. And
these natural helpers, which are part of the
Propauseand Osteosafeformulas,
truly
work to combat menopausal symptoms, as
well as reduce risk of bone loss.
Forever Youthful Generation
B
oomer women are entering
menopause at the rate of some
2,000 to 3,000 every day. The good
news is that boomers are redefining what it
all means. Women need to be
knowledgeable about their options.
If a woman’s menopausal symptoms are
mild to moderate and her risk factors for
conditions like osteoporosis are minimal,
often lifestyle-based therapies such as
dietary and nutritional supplement
programs, stress reduction techniques,
acupressure and exercise are sufficient.
Propausecombines dong quai root,
black cohosh, Siberian ginseng,
as well as
fennel, vitamin E and folic acidto
provide
support for women who want to experience
mid-life naturally. And to support healthy
bones, Osteosafecombines boronwith
red
clover, magnesium, calcium and other bone-
building nutrients. The difference the
Propauseand Osteosafecombination
can
make is important and could add years of
extra health to women’s lives.
We read in the July-August issue of the
journal, Menopausethat the addition
of
even small amounts of isoflavone-
containing foods to the western diet may
reduce the risk of heart disease, so it is
important to take an isoflavone rich formula
like the Propause
and Osteosafe
combination. The isoflavones in these
formulas have been shown to:
wEase menopausal problems.
wMaintain healthy blood pressure.
wReduce cell damage.
Who Says Life Ends

ybill Shepard isn’t the only women
finding life can be terrific at any
age. Many famous and not so
famous women today are discovering that
turning 50 is only the beginning. Many are
using herbal formulas with great success.

advantage of nature’s wonderful gifts. Turn
