It is October 27th, and I can’t get my body temperature right.
Its officially Fall around 35-45 deg F outside so the downstairs heater is now turned on. But during the day around noon the house gets too hot. So I ( as we say in Rhode Island), I opens the window upstairs to cool off . But then I think I am wasting oil ….so I go downstairs again and turn the heater off. only to find that ten minutes later, my toes are freezing! So I go back down stairs and turn the heater on again and close the window upstairs. About an hour later, this entire heater/window on/off open/shut cycle is repeated again as the house begins to feel steamy hot again. I feel like I am losing my mind! I can’t get my body temperature right.
I was watching Gossip Girl last night on CW network. Just to be part of the tribe. Everyone seems to be watching this show. Gossip Girl this, Gossip Girl that. In People Magazine, on the Red carpet in some way shape or form is from this show there are comments about the cast of Gossip Girl. Last night’s show was a Halloween show, and other than a basic Peyton Place/Soap Opera format, the show was pretty boring except that even though it was fall, everyone of the girls/woman wore very skimpy clothing. And no-one ever looked liked they were freezing.
So why am I gossiping about CW’s Gossip Girl? Because if we look at the clothing styles on that show we can learn an awful lot about body temperature regulation, hormones and aging. These days, during the teens and 20’s people don’t seem to ever freeze or have body temperature issues. A specific fashion sense that dove-tales with mating rituals seems to override any need to dress for the weather. On Gossip Girl and similar shows one can see spaghetti straps and midriffs on women from November to May even in very cold temperature outdoor temperatures…
Body temperature regulation problems , i.e. A tendency of feeling like your freezing cold or boiling up with heat, is a complex problem that Western Medicine handles poorly. Other than testing your thyroid function, or giving you a diagnosis of peri-menopause, there is little to do for the person who always needs a sweater, but then is always taking it off and putting it back on again.
It takes 7 chakras to regulate your temperature. From 1st chakra Immune System to 4th Chakra Cardio vascular system and onward, the solution are more than Synthroid, Armour Thyroid Extract and putting the heat up and / or opening the window.
