About this listen
Nuggets for Healthy Living by Dr Deji Daramola highlights the importance of knowing the little everyday things can cumulatively result in a healthy and hopefully long and happy life. The topics in this audiobook touch on preventative medicine, medicine, psychiatry, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, human physiology, and psychology; as well as correcting misconceptions about how diagnoses are arrived at especially from the doctor’s perspective. These topics are interwoven into everyday stories with a view to empower you to take control of your health.
In today’s world, with advances in medicine like never before, our aim should be to live a healthy life with little decline in health until we pass on. Our objective should be to age well so we can push the decline to 80 and beyond and subsequently embrace death without the known liabilities that accompany bad aging. This audiobook is intended to guide in that direction.
Aging is not homogenous. Basically, we will all not age the same way. It is also a known fact that different categories of people display different patterns of aging. At about the age of 45, we start to decline slowly health-wise, but some don't and these people continue to age with no issues. This is called successful aging, and successful aging has been defined as optimal physical, mental, and social well-being in older age. There are two models of aging. The mandatory cellular aging that we have no control over and the facultative cellular aging that we can control. The emphasis here is on the facultative cellular aging model. Successful aging tends to depend on one’s behavior, a positive attitude to life and lastly on the environment rather than genetics. Research has concluded that people with a positive disposition tend to age well. Let us address the issue of positive attitude for a minute. I have heard it said many times that life is all about attitudes. Attitudes affect our behavior, but it is also correct to say that behavior affects our attitude.

Story
Menopause and perimenopause are a serious subject - but I think humor helps! I have laughed at myself, and my family has laughed with me and not at me when I have had certain symptoms. You can listen to my personal and very open account of what I have been going through, and how I’ve seen humor in even the most serious symptoms. I hope if nothing else besides getting the information will make you smile.

More than 90 percent of sexually active women have only been given a very limited amount of information about how birth control works, often right at the beginning when they start their first pill or patch. Not all of us enjoy biology lessons, and figuring out the complexities of hormones, cycles, and our bodies can feel a little too much. But it doesn’t need to be rocket science. Getting a better insight into how your body really works can empower you and open up choices and possibilities so that you make the best decisions for yourself. After all, this is your body!

Approximately one out of every 10 women has endometriosis, an inflammatory disease that causes chronic pain and may lead to infertility. Despite the disease’s prevalence, the average woman may suffer for a decade or more before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Once she does, she’s often given little more than a prescription for pain killers and a referral for the wrong kind of surgery. Beating Endo arms women with what has long been missing - even within the medical community - namely, cutting-edge knowledge of how the disease works and what the endo sufferer can do....

The only thing predictable about menopause is its unpredictability. Factor in widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and the culture of shame around women's bodies, and it's no wonder women are unsure what to expect during the menopause transition and beyond. Menopause is not a disease - it's a planned change, like puberty. And just like puberty, we should be educated on what's to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of leaving people on their own with bothersome symptoms and too much conflicting information.
