The Wellness Spot

Your wife isn't necessarily mad at you, not being dramatic, and how she feels is not a result of just "getting older."

Her body could be going through some huge changes and she may not even know what is going on.

Here is what I would love for husbands to know:

• It's not JUST hot flashes. Hormones impact a variety of body functions and how she feels in general.
• Brain fog is real, frustrating, and not something she can just snap out of.
• Perimenopause and menopause are not things she needs to put up with.

So please be patient, listen to her, learn alongside her, and find ways to be supportive by helping her figure out ways to manage symptoms.

Meet our team at the Wellness Spot. Your partner in functional and personalized care.

We are happy you are here!

Pumpkin season is here and we are all about it.

While we might be enjoying our pumpkin spiced lattes and our pumpkin loafs, we are here to tell you REAL pumpkin has some real benefits.

From boosting immunity to promoting healthy skin, it’s the perfect seasonal superfood.

What kind of pumpkin recipe are you cooking up this fall?

Yep. We're talking about Uncrustables.

You know who eats a LOT of them?

The NFL. NFL teams reportedly go through at least 80,000 Uncrustables a year.

And honestly…there's a reason.

They're convenient. They're easy to eat. They provide carbohydrates, calories, and a moderate amount of protein when athletes need to fuel.

We don’t have to act like eating better means you have to make everything from scratch.

Some days it’s prepped meals and sitting down at the table. Other days, it's grabbing an Uncrustable for convenience on the go.

Eating better doesn’t have to be complicated!

You’re putting in the work and sticking to your plan.

AND you’re realizing that your health is about so much more than just the number on the scale!

So what would make you say…ok, I AM feeling better?

Maybe it’s:

- You’re don’t need that 3 p.m. coffee
- Your brain fog is lifting
- Your favorite jeans go on a little easier
- You feel a little stronger
- You’re actually feeling more like yourself everyday

What did we miss?

What would be your non-scale victory?

You are not alone and we are here to listen, and we’re here to help you feel better!

Weight loss can be a tricky puzzle.

We’ve established that there are many changes in your 30s and 40s that impact weight loss.

We’ve established that deprivation and excess exercise are too extreme.

Now, you have started and stuck with lifestyle changes. Wholesome foods, protein, fiber, working out consistently.

You’re STILL NOT feeling any different.

We are here to tell you: we see you and we hear you.

If you’ve made lifestyle changes but still don’t feel like yourself, give us a call or text at 765-237-9401 to schedule a time to talk.

You’ve been eating the same foods, keeping up with your workouts, and trying to maintain balance in your life. But that extra 10lbs you've been working to lose just won’t come off.

Sound familiar?

Something, let’s be real, LOTS of things can change in your body as you move through your 30s and 40s.

Metabolic shifts, insulin resistance, changing hormones, changes in muscle mass (should I keep going?) can all influence how your body responds to the same habits that worked for you years ago.

And that is the frustrating part. Your habits haven’t changed, but your body has.

What this comes down to is changing your weight-loss approach as your body changes. This means taking a closer look at the ”why” behind what’s happening rather than simply being told to “eat less and move more.”

Sometimes the answer isn’t trying harder. It is understanding what is going on in your body and why it’s getting in the way.

If your old weight-loss methods aren’t working anymore, give us a call or text at 765-237-9401 to schedule a time to talk.

We want to take a minute to recognize September as Perimenopause Awareness Month.

Perimenopause awareness is important because so many women experience major changes during their 30s and 40s without realizing that their symptoms might be connected to the hormonal changes happening.

Awareness matters because understanding what's happening in your body is the first step toward getting the right support.

We will be closed on Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day.

Regular hours resume on Tuesday, September 8.

Enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday!
