🍂 When the days grow shorter and the light fades, many of us notice a shift in our mood. For some women, this isn’t just the “fall blues” — it may be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Here’s what you should know:

- SAD is a form of depression that happens in a seasonal pattern — most often from late fall through winter, when daylight hours shrink.

- Women are more likely than men to experience it.

- Signs can include persistent low mood, loss of interest in usual activities, fatigue or oversleeping, carbohydrate cravings and social withdrawal.

If you’re noticing these changes as the seasons turn, you don’t have to face it alone. For more information visit: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/seasonal-affective-disorder

A Woman’s Place is a community-centered Women's Health Clinic located in Fort Collins, serving women in Northern Colorado and Wyoming. We care for women through all stages of life. Our services include wellness exams, pregnancy, birth control and more!

🌙 Sleep & Hot Flashes: What Women Really Need to Know in Midlife

As the nights get cooler, many women in midlife face one of the trickiest parts of the menopausal transition: nighttime hot flashes and night sweats that steal your rest. These disruptive vasomotor symptoms — sudden waves of heat, flushed skin, and sweating — are extremely common and can interrupt the sleep you need.

Here’s how to get ahead of them:
💡 Cool your environment – keep your bedroom temperature down, use breathable cotton sheets and pajamas.

✅ Identify triggers – spicy food, caffeine, alcohol or heavy evening meals may make hot flashes worse.

💤 Prioritize sleep hygiene – aim for consistent bedtime, limit screen time before bed, and consider a calming pre-sleep routine.

🤝 Talk with your provider – night sweats that persist or severely affect your quality of life may benefit from lifestyle support, non-hormonal or hormonal options.

At A Woman’s Place, we’re here to help you navigate midlife changes with confidence and care. You don’t have to endure sleepless nights alone. Let’s help you restore your rest, reclaim your days and thrive through this next chapter. https://www.awomansplacefc.com/services/hormone-pellet-therapy

At A Woman’s Place, we join the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) in encouraging all those who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or postpartum to stay up to date on recommended vaccines.

Maternal immunization is a safe, effective way to protect both you and your baby from serious illness—especially during those first few vulnerable months of life. It’s one of the many ways we can nurture healthy beginnings together. 💜

🌿 Today we recognize World Menopause Day — a time to talk openly, share support, and embrace a new chapter of balance, vitality, and wellness.

As hormone levels change with age, many women experience challenges like fatigue, weight gain, sleep disturbances, and low libido. While traditional hormone replacement therapy can help, it isn’t always convenient or consistent. That’s why A Woman’s Place offers the EvexiPEL® Method, a unique approach to hormone pellet therapy designed to restore balance naturally and effectively.

You deserve to feel your best at every stage of life. 💜

Midwives combine compassion with knowledge, bringing women care that is grounded in both experience and science. 💜

During National Midwifery Week, we recognize how midwives contribute to research that strengthens women’s health and how they use that research to guide safe, effective care. At A Woman’s Place, our midwives stay current on the latest studies and practices so every woman receives care that reflects the best of what we know today.

This year’s theme, “Midwives at Every Table: Practice, Policy & Research,” reminds us that midwives are not only trusted providers, but also leaders in advancing the future of women’s healthcare.
