Welcome to Fity Fity Fifty

Howdy! I'm Dee, a 24 year veteran of conventional medicine as a Registered Respiratory Therapist and Medical Educator. Working long 13-hour shifts in hospital settings, I spent countless hours treating the symptoms of patients with chronic illness. The same patient’s would come into the hospital weekly and never get better. The patients would eventually get worse because we were only treating symptoms, not the root cause of their illness. Realizing that conventional medicine is not addressing the cause of illness, It has become my passion to discover medical treatment outside of the box. Some of today’s conventional medical treatments fit the definition of insanity; repeating the same action and expecting a different outcome. Although there is a place for conventional medicine, I find integrative and holistic medicine focus on the cause of illness. When I was in my 20’s (I am now 52) I set out on a quest to discover alternative treatments that address the actual cause of life-altering spent that plague women as they age. Conventional medical doctors rarely take a woman over 40 seriously, especially when they complain about fatigue, weight gain, fuzzy thinking, heavy periods. Well, guess what I learned? All of the aliments that women experience are NOT normal! They are symptoms of an underlining cause that can be successfully treated with both holistic and conventional medicine. Women can grow older while growing healthier. Women do not have to fall down the rabbit hole of obscurity because there is help and there is hope. I consider myself a biohacker and human guinea pig. I have spent the last 30 years of my life studying herbalism, oriental medicine, acupressure, nutrition, alternative treatments, and tried them all out on myself (and my family). My thirst for knowledge is insatiable, and I do not see myself slowing down anytime soon. This blog is for women, especially women who are entering their 40’s and beyond. There is so much I want to share with you because there is so much out there that is amazing and really works. Medicine does not have to be toxic to your body, in fact, there is so much out there that will make your body strong and improve your quality of life. Knowledge is power, and that is not just a cliché. The more you know, the more you can apply to your life, improve your life and live that rich beautiful life that God intended for you. Please email with topics, ideas, comments, criticism, whatever it is you want to say, I want to hear. I hope you get something from this blog because I am writing it with love. dee@fityfityfifty.com #fityfityfifty DEE View all posts by Dee Myers RRT MSeD
