Women’s health is a much bigger conversation than hormone therapy. 🤍

This World Menopause Day, I’m excited about what we’re building at The Primary: thoughtful, individualized care that makes room for these conversations at every stage of life.

What’s one women’s health topic you wish we talked about more? Keep personal medical details private.

You remembered everyone else’s appointments.

But what about yours? 🤍
Between taking care of everyone else, it’s easy to put your own health on the back burner.

This National Mammography Day, consider this your reminder to prioritize YOU.
That mammogram you’ve been putting off?
Schedule it.�That annual exam? Book it.�Those changes you’ve been ignoring?
Let’s talk about them.
Because taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s essential.

Your health. Your time. Your turn.

With love,�Dr. Spence | The Primary 🤍

Perimenopause can start years before your periods stop, and sometimes the signs aren’t obvious.

Changes in sleep, mood, weight, libido, brain fog, or temperature regulation can all be part of the transition, even while you’re still having regular periods.

Many women spend years treating these symptoms separately without realizing they may be connected.

Women deserve to understand what’s happening in their bodies before they’re struggling.

If something feels different, start the conversation. 🤍

You can have high blood pressure and feel completely fine.

That’s exactly why knowing your numbers matters. ❤️

Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure can increase your risk for heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and other serious health problems.

Checking your blood pressure is quick, simple, and gives us valuable information about your cardiovascular health.

If you monitor your blood pressure at home, keep a record of your readings and bring them to your next appointment. One reading tells us something—but patterns tell us much more.

And remember: healthy habits matter too.

Know your numbers. Know your risk. Take action early.

💙 That’s preventive care.

Fall means cooler weather, football, pumpkin everything…and the beginning of respiratory illness season. 🍂

Now is a good time to think about how you and your family can prepare.

Simple habits still matter:

🧼 Wash your hands regularly.
😴 Prioritize adequate sleep.
🥗 Nourish your body well.
💧 Stay hydrated.
🤧 Cover coughs and sneezes.
🏠 Stay home when you're sick.
💉 Talk with your healthcare provider about recommended seasonal vaccines.

For most people who need only one influenza vaccine dose for the season, September or October is generally a good time to be vaccinated; timing can differ for some children, pregnant patients, and certain older adults, so individual recommendations matter.

Protecting your health isn't about doing one perfect thing. It's about layering simple preventive measures together.

Healthy families help build healthy communities. 💙

Stress isn't just something you feel emotionally—your body feels it too.

Chronic stress can affect your sleep, mood, eating habits, blood pressure, digestion, concentration, and overall well-being.

We may not be able to eliminate every stressful situation, but we can build habits that help our bodies recover.

Today, try choosing just one:

💙 Take a walk outside.
💙 Put your phone away and take five quiet minutes.
💙 Practice slow, intentional breathing.
💙 Go to bed a little earlier.
💙 Pray, meditate, journal, or practice gratitude.
💙 Call someone who makes you feel supported.

You don't need an elaborate wellness routine.

Sometimes taking care of yourself begins with recognizing that you need a moment to recharge.

Mental wellness is part of whole-person health.

What helps you reset when life feels overwhelming?

Back-to-school success begins the night before. Adequate sleep helps support focus, emotional regulation, behavior, and overall health.

Start adjusting bedtime gradually instead of waiting until the first day of school.

September was all about one powerful word: PREVENTION. 💙

Throughout this month’s Wellness Wednesday series, we’ve talked about annual wellness visits, knowing your blood pressure, managing stress, preparing for flu season, and staying hydrated.

They may seem like completely different topics—but they all have something important in common:

Your health is built in the small things you do consistently.

Schedule the appointment.
Know your numbers.
Take the walk.
Get the sleep.
Drink the water.
Manage the stress.
Ask the questions.

You don’t have to do everything perfectly. You just have to keep taking the next healthy step.

And we’re not finished! 🍂

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we’ll be talking about breast health and mammograms—but we’re also going to look beyond the pink ribbon.

We'll talk about preventive screenings, knowing your individual risks, and getting those healthy habits back on track as we head into the final months of the year.

Our October Wellness Wednesday theme:

KNOW YOUR BODY. KNOW YOUR RISKS. KNOW YOUR HEALTH.

I can't wait to share it with you. 💙
