At Nurturing You Women’s Health & Wellness, August is more than just the end of summer—it’s National Wellness Month, a time to pause and prioritize your physical, mental, and emotional health. As we navigate busy lives filled with work, family, and commitments, wellness can sometimes fall to the bottom of the list. This month, we invite you to flip that script.

Wellness Is More Than a Buzzword

Wellness means taking proactive steps to maintain or improve your overall well-being. That includes daily habits like drinking more water, moving your body, getting adequate sleep, and managing stress. But it also means keeping up with preventive care and addressing health concerns before they escalate.

Is It Time for Your Annual Check-In?

As part of your wellness journey, don’t forget to schedule:

• Your yearly well-woman exam

• Hormone evaluations if you're experiencing fatigue, mood changes, low libido, or weight fluctuations

• Routine screenings like mammograms or bone density tests (as age and risk factors require)

• Follow-ups for ongoing care including thyroid support, menopause management, or sexual wellness concerns

If it’s been a while since your last visit, this is the perfect time to get back on track.

Don’t Forget Mental and Emotional Wellness

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Consider incorporating daily mindfulness practices like journaling, walking outdoors, or even speaking with a therapist or wellness coach. Emotional well-being influences everything—from your immune system to your relationships and energy levels.

Partnering With You in Health

Dr. Leita Harris and the entire team at Nurturing You are here to walk alongside you in every season of life. Whether you're seeking preventive care, hormone support, or guidance through perimenopause or menopause, we’re committed to providing compassionate, personalized care.

Let this National Wellness Month be a reminder to prioritize yourself—mind, body, and spirit. When you nurture your health, you empower every area of your life.

If you’ve been feeling “off” lately—tired for no reason, more irritable than usual, or simply not yourself—you’re not alone. These could be early signs of perimenopause, the transitional phase that can begin several years before menopause officially starts. At Nurturing You Women’s Health & Wellness, we want you to know that these changes are common—but they’re not something you have to suffer through. There’s a solution, and it starts with understanding your hormones.

What Is Perimenopause?

Perimenopause typically begins in a woman’s 30s or 40s, though it varies. It’s marked by a gradual decline in estrogen and other reproductive hormones. While periods may still be regular at first, other symptoms often appear before menstrual changes become apparent.

Early Signs to Watch For:

• Increased fatigue and low energy

• Mood swings or feelings of anxiety and depression

• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

• Sleep disturbances or night sweats

• Decreased libido or vaginal dryness

• Weight gain or stubborn belly fat

• Headaches or migraines

• Thinning hair or dry skin

If you’re experiencing two or more of these symptoms, it may be time to get your hormones tested.

Why Test Your Hormones Now?

Hormones impact everything—from your mood and metabolism to your sleep, libido, and cognitive function. Early testing provides a clear picture of what your body needs and helps you take a proactive approach to wellness before imbalances spiral into more disruptive issues.

At Nurturing You, we use comprehensive hormone testing to assess:

• Estradiol and Estriol (forms of estrogen)

• Progesterone

• Testosterone

• DHEA

• Thyroid hormones

With the results, we can create a personalized hormone balancing plan designed to restore optimal levels, improve symptoms, and help you feel like yourself again.

Why We Recommend Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Unlike synthetic or animal-derived hormones, Bioidentical Hormones are derived from plant sources and have the exact chemical structure as the hormones your body naturally produces. That means your body recognizes and uses them more efficiently, with fewer side effects.

We offer multiple BHRT options, including:

• Pellet Therapy: A low-dose estradiol and/or testosterone pellet is inserted under the skin, releasing hormones consistently for 3–6 months.

• Creams, troches, and other non-pellet methods tailored to your comfort and needs.

Whether you’re dealing with frustrating perimenopausal symptoms or postmenopausal concerns, BHRT is a safe, proven method to regain energy, clarity, and control over your health.

Did you know?
Hormonal imbalance isn’t just a women’s issue. We also offer hormone therapy for men experiencing low testosterone, fatigue, weight gain, and other age-related hormone declines.

A Better Quality of Life Is Possible

You don’t have to wait until menopause to take charge of your health. If you suspect your hormones are out of balance—or you simply want to optimize your well-being—we are here to help. Dr. Leita Harris and our experienced providers will help to guide you through this season of life with compassion and proven, personalized care.
