Back-to-School Physicals for the Kids? Don’t Forget You!

As the school year ramps up and your calendar fills with supply lists, sports sign-ups, and physical appointments for your kids, we want to gently ask:
When’s the last time YOU had a check-up?

We know how easy it is to put everyone else first. But while you’re getting your child’s vision checked and making sure their heart is healthy enough for soccer, it’s time to ask yourself a few questions too:

5 Questions Every Woman Should Ask Her Provider This Fall:

1. Why is there all this hair on my chin?
   Surprise facial hair can be a sign of shifting hormones, often a red flag for perimenopause, PCOS, or adrenal issues.

2. Why do I feel so foggy and forgetful lately?
   Brain fog isn't “just aging.” It can be related to estrogen decline, poor sleep, or even thyroid dysfunction. You deserve clarity.

3. Why am I gaining weight even though my habits haven’t changed?
   Weight gain, especially around the midsection, is a common (but frustrating) symptom of hormone changes. It’s not your fault, and it’s treatable.

4. Is it normal to feel like I’m on an emotional rollercoaster?
   Mood swings, anxiety, and irritability are common during perimenopause and menopause. Therapy, peptides, and lifestyle tweaks can help; no, you’re not crazy.

5. How can I feel like my best, most natural self again?
   You deserve care that helps you feel balanced, vibrant, and aligned with your goals, not just patched up. At Empowered Wellness, we offer holistic, evidence-based solutions to support you from the inside out.

So this fall… book that school physical.

But then — book your wellness check too.
