Options for field research:
1. Contact and interview Lona Jacobs, PA at Family Frontier Medicine
2. Research and find a Women's medical clinic - interview a doctor or women's specialist for specific issues that they have found with women and aging
3. It seems that there should be a women-specific organization that deals with the issues of society (a "swim suit society") and how that impacts women
4. Could this include my own person research, attempts to remedy certain physiological effects through nutrition, and what the results are? (Kind of a self-help trial and error on use of vitamins & supplements, and the effects of eating different types of food).
5. The list said we could reference movies as well. I will watch "Something's Got to Give" and utilize some of the information about aging women in my paper as well.
6. Also, I might could "poll" women that I know (or, even through a blog, or something) that are over the age of 45, 50 and even over 60 and come up with a questionnaire that might give an insight on some of the perspectives and issues that women deal with physically, emotionally, and socially.

RJA #3b: Research Topic Focus
pp. 44 - Things that people debate on my topic:
Use of natural hormones vs. synthetic hormones
Variation of effects of peri-menopause and menopause in women - How does each individual's body chemistry affect the changes in the aging process in women
The presence of different vitamins and minerals and their impact on a woman's body - supporting different functions, supplementing loss of certain body chemistry
What are different things a woman can do to ease the aging process - keeping it as low-impact as possible?
How does a woman manage the aging process when struggling with physical ailments, and the medications/drugs that set her back physically, chemistry, emotionally?
