Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

This is your reminder that you truly never know what someone may be carrying behind the scenes.

Check on your people. Be kind. And if you’re struggling, please know that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

You matter. You are needed. And there is always hope. 🤍

I hope you got a chance to slow down today!

Whether that meant sleeping in, spending time with family, sitting outside, relaxing at the pool, or simply doing a little less than usual. I hope you gave yourself permission to rest.

Rest is productive, too.

Happy Labor Day from The Well Woman Co. 🌿

A simple walk can do wonders for your body and mind! Walking boosts heart health, strengthens muscles, improves mood, and reduces stress. Just 30 minutes a day can increase energy, support weight management, and enhance mental clarity.

What are you doing to get your steps in during this heat wave? 🥵

Sunday Reset 🤍

You don’t have to do all the things today to prepare for a good week.

Pick a few:
-Enjoy a slow morning
-Reset one space in your home
-Prep something that makes the week easier
-Look at the week ahead
-Get to bed a little earlier
-Do something just because you enjoy it

A reset doesn’t have to mean catching up on everything. Sometimes it just means giving yourself a little breathing room before Monday.

Feeling more irritable lately? 🫣

It’s not always stress-related or simple overstimulation. Hormonal shifts can affect mood, patience, sleep, and how easily you feel overwhelmed.

If you’ve found yourself thinking everybody is getting on your nerves lately, it might be worth looking at the bigger picture.

Spent the weekend making some pretty special memories with my girl. Now it’s time to reset, recharge, and get ready for Monday.

Hope you have a great wee-hee-k! 😎🕺🏻

Happy Friday! Here’s a reminder for you today:

You don’t have to wait until you feel terrible to start asking questions about your health.

If lately you’ve been thinking…

“I’m exhausted all the time.”
“I’m gaining weight and nothing has changed.”
“Why am I suddenly so anxious or irritable?”
“I wake up exhausted like I never slept.”
“My hair is thinning.”
“My periods are all over the place.”
“I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”

Those symptoms deserve more than a shrug and a “your labs are normal.”

Sometimes the first step is simply taking a closer look at the whole picture. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to do that, my inbox is always open. 🫶🏼

A little personal joy this week in the midst of 100 mph winds, tornadoes, and earthquakes...

Welcome to the world, sweet baby Cash. Aunt TT loves you so much already. 🥹🤍

Test it Tuesday - Thyroid Edition 🩸

Have you ever been told your thyroid labs are “normal” but you still have symptoms that make you wonder? Or perhaps you are being treated for a thyroid condition and are still experiencing symptoms.

We are taught to start with just a TSH most often in regards to thyroid labs. Now we are learning to look at a more thorough thyroid panel in conjunction with symptoms in order to get a better picture of what’s going on (free T3, free T4, etc.).

Thyroid antibodies can also provide additional information about whether we may be looking at an autoimmune thyroid issue if we suspect more is going on after checking those initial labs. Some common antibodies that may be checked include TPO antibodies and thyroglobulin antibodies.

This doesn’t mean everyone needs every thyroid test but when symptoms, history, or other lab findings point us in that direction, a deeper look can sometimes be very helpful.
