The day the hot flashes showed up…

She came in like she was my new best friend. Apparently, she did not get the memo that I was not accepting new friend requests! Yet, there she was, uninvited and making herself right at home.

Now, let me be honest: I am naturally a sweater. Thanks, Dad! 😂 But this was different.

I could be standing in front of a crowd, minding my business, and suddenly feel the heat rising. Then came the sweating. No warning. No permission. Just heat!

This was different, and it was yet another symptom of perimenopause that I now had to learn how to navigate.

Clinical Pearl: Hot flashes are also called vasomotor symptoms. During perimenopause, fluctuating estrogen levels can affect the part of the brain that regulates body temperature. The brain becomes more sensitive to even small temperature changes and tries to cool the body quickly by widening blood vessels and triggering sweating.

A few things that may help:

• Dress in light, breathable layers
• Keep a portable fan nearby
• Sip cold water throughout the day
• Keep your bedroom cool at night
• Practice slow, deep breathing when a flash begins
• Track possible triggers such as stress, alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, and warm environments

If your hot flashes are frequent, intense, disrupting your sleep, or interfering with your daily life, talk with your healthcare provider. Lifestyle changes may help, but hormonal and nonhormonal treatment options are also available.

Sis, when did “she” show up for you, and did you recognize her right away? Share your experience in the comments. Your story may help another woman realize that she is not alone.

Keep listening to your body. Keep asking questions. And keep advocating for yourself, sis. 💜

HEY SIS 🤍 | MY JOURNEY INTO PERIMENOPAUSE PART 6

I felt like something was changing within my body, and I couldn't put my finger on it.

Things were happening, and I just could not figure out what was going on.

I knew something was different.

I didn't feel like myself.

But never, not ONE time, did I think…

Girl, this might be perimenopause.

Because in my mind, perimenopause looked like hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain and changes in your period.

And Sis… I wasn't having those things.

So why would I think perimenopause?

Meanwhile, LIFE was LIFE-ING.

I was dealing with an extreme amount of stress. I was walking through grief. I was carrying a lot emotionally, mentally and physically.

So naturally, I blamed what I was feeling on everything else.

I'm stressed.
I'm grieving.
I'm tired.
I'm overwhelmed.
I just have too much going on.

And truthfully, all of those things WERE happening.

But something else was happening too.

My body was transitioning.

And because my symptoms didn't look like what I thought perimenopause was supposed to look like, I completely missed it.

And Sis, so many women are doing the exact same thing.

Research shows that many women struggle to recognize where they are in the menopause transition. In one recent study, 34% of women weren't sure what reproductive stage they were in, and among women who explained that uncertainty, 56% had difficulty figuring out whether their symptoms were related to perimenopause or something else.

Whew.

Because how many of us have said:

"I'm just stressed."

"I just need some sleep."

"It's probably my age."

"I have too much going on right now."

And kept moving?

🙋🏾‍♀️ ME.

Here's today's Clinical Pearl 🩺:

Perimenopause doesn't always announce herself with a hot flash.

She can show up differently from woman to woman. Changes in sleep, mood, anxiety, concentration, menstrual cycles, energy and even how you respond to stress can be part of the menopause transition.

And here's what made my journey even more complicated: grief, chronic stress, lack of sleep AND hormonal changes can have overlapping symptoms.

So when everything is happening at the same time, it can be HARD to know what's causing what.

Looking back now, I can see it.

But when I was standing in the middle of it?

I had no clue.

That's why I keep sharing my story.

Because there may be another Sis watching this right now saying:

"Something is changing in my body. I just don't know what it is."

Sis… don't ignore that feeling.

Pay attention.
Ask questions.
Track what's changing.
And talk to a healthcare provider who will actually LISTEN to you.

You know your body.

And you don't have to wait until you're having hot flashes or night sweats to start the conversation about perimenopause. 🤍

Did you recognize perimenopause when she first showed up, or did you blame your symptoms on something else too?

Just because it’s September… I’m running this one BACK. 🙌🏾

And I’m going to keep running it back until the people who need a different kind of healthcare find me.

If you’re tired of…

✨ Waiting 6–12 months just to get a new patient appointment.

✨ Leaving appointments feeling like your provider didn’t really hear you.

✨ Trying to explain everything you’ve been experiencing in a rushed 15-minute visit.

✨ Taking time off work because the only appointment options are during traditional 8–5 hours.

Hey family … find me.

I created Wells Legacy Health & Wellness because I believe healthcare can feel different.

You deserve time to talk.
You deserve to be heard.
You deserve access to care that works with your life.
And you deserve a provider who sees the person, not just the appointment on the schedule.

So yes… I’m reintroducing myself. Again. 😂

Because somebody scrolling today has been looking for exactly what we offer.

I’m Dr. Latoya Wells, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, Family Nurse Practitioner and owner of Wells Legacy Health & Wellness.

Hey Sis. September! A new month. A fresh start. As you are planning, make sure you prioritize you. ❤️ Take care of you. Make time for you. Pour into you. Don’t get so caught up in everything and everyone else that you forget about you. This month, choose you too.

WHAT’S IN YOUR WATER? 💧👀

We talk a lot about eating healthier, moving our bodies, taking our vitamins, and getting enough sleep…but sometimes we overlook one of the simplest things we can do for our health:

Drink. Your. Water. Sis. 😂💧

I hear it from patients all the time:

"Dr. Wells, I know I need to drink more water, but I just don’t like it. It doesn’t have any taste!"

Okay…so let’s give it some flavor! 🙌🏾

Today, here's what’s in MY water:

💧 Water
🥥 Coconut water
🌱 Chia seeds
💚 Spirulina
🌿 Chlorophyll
🍋 Fresh lemon

But your water doesn’t have to look like mine.

Try adding fresh strawberries, blueberries, oranges, pineapple, cucumber, mint, lemon, lime, or whatever combination makes you actually want to drink it.

The goal is simple: find a way to make hydration work for YOU.

A commonly used general guideline is to aim for about half your body weight in ounces of fluid per day, but hydration needs are individualized. And this part is important: If you have heart disease, kidney disease, or have been instructed by your healthcare provider to restrict your fluids, follow the recommendations given specifically to you.

Otherwise, grab that water bottle and keep it close. Sip throughout the day instead of waiting until you're thirsty.

Because creating healthier habits doesn't always require some huge life overhaul.

Sometimes it starts with something as simple as…

drinking your water. 💧

At Wells Legacy Health & Wellness, we're not just treating illness, we're helping you build habits today that can impact your health for years to come.

Let's create a legacy of good health, one sip at a time. 💚

Now tell me: What's in YOUR water? 👇🏾

The anxiety came out of nowhere!!

I’ve always been the woman who could handle a lot.

Work. Family. Life. Responsibilities. Being the one everybody could count on.

But then… anxiety showed up.

And when I tell you it came out of nowhere, I mean nowhere.

My mind would start racing.
I would feel overwhelmed by things that normally wouldn’t overwhelm me.
There were moments when I felt on edge, unsettled, and anxious, and I couldn’t even tell you what I was anxious about.

That was probably the scariest part.

There wasn’t always a reason.

Nothing had necessarily happened.

But my body was responding like something was wrong.

And because I didn’t understand what was happening, I started questioning myself.

Why am I feeling like this?
Why can’t I just calm down?
Why does everything suddenly feel like so much?
What is happening to me?

And once again, perimenopause was nowhere on my radar.

Nobody had prepared me for the possibility that this transition could affect more than my period or cause hot flashes.

Nobody told me that it could show up in my sleep.
My concentration.
My emotions.
My ability to tolerate stress.
And yes… anxiety.

Now, as a healthcare provider, I understand the clinical side.

But experiencing it as a woman?

That hits completely different.

That’s one of the reasons I’m sharing this journey so openly.

Because there may be another woman sitting somewhere right now thinking, “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

Sis, I hear you.

And while anxiety should never automatically be blamed on hormones—and new or worsening symptoms deserve a proper evaluation, perimenopause absolutely deserves to be part of the conversation.

This is Part 3 of my journey into perimenopause, and we’re going to keep talking about the things nobody prepared us for.

Because the more we talk about it, the less alone another woman has to feel walking through it.

💗 Did anxiety show up differently for you during perimenopause? Tell me in the comments, or simply comment “ME TOO” if this part of my story sounds familiar.

And follow along, Sis. There’s more to this story.
