Editor’s Note: wowOwow’s Etceterist, Billy Norwich, sat down with Dr. Patricia Wexler recently to talk about how Michelle Obama might be losing that Inauguration sparkle. Here’s what Dr. Wexler had to say. Read on … 

People are watching Washington minute by minute, fascinated by and loving the Obamas, and I am one of them.

But I am worried about the First Lady. I think she is looking like that sparkle from the campaign trail and the Inauguration has dimmed. Is it any wonder? Isn’t this every woman’s situation? You take care of yourself last.

The First Lady has a lot on her plate and I bet in her list of priorities she is coming last. First her husband, the president; then getting her daughters settled; then her mother; then her staff. I am sure the president is exercising, but is she making time to exercise? Eat right? Sleep?

Like most women, she probably isn’t. But she has to. She deserves to. There is a lot more at stake than just looks. There is health and, dare I say, happiness. My prescription? Good nutrition, rest, exercise … making time for herself. The sooner she does, the better.

We all talk about how the presidency ages the president, but what about the First Lady?
