Synergy Holistic Wellness

12/19/2025

The holiday season invites us to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and lean into what truly nourishes us.

In honor of that, Synergy will be closed December 24th–26th, allowing our team time to rest and be present with loved ones.

We’ll be back in the office December 30th & 31st, then closed again January 1st–2nd as we step into the New Year refreshed and aligned.

Wishing you all comfort, peace, and gentle wellness this holiday season.

Thank you for being part of the Synergy community — we’re so grateful for you. 🤍✨

healing is not linear.

Some days feel steady and grounded. Other days feel messy, emotional, or slow. That doesn’t mean you’re going backward — it means your body and nervous system are recalibrating at their own pace.

Healing doesn’t always look dramatic. Often it’s subtle: better sleep, fewer flares, clearer boundaries, a calmer response to stress. Progress can be quiet, uneven, and still deeply meaningful.

Trust the process. Your body is listening, even on the days it feels silent.

Sometimes in our pursuit of better health, we can swing too far into fear instead of empowerment.

It’s a natural response—especially when you’ve been through symptoms, chronic issues, or past medical trauma. But when worry becomes constant scanning, Googling, or assuming the worst, that’s when health anxiety quietly takes over.

This Medscape article is a great reminder that health anxiety is common, very real, and highly treatable. It’s not “being dramatic.” It’s your nervous system trying to protect you… but working overtime.

Here’s the reframe:
💛 Be curious, not catastrophic.
💛 Seek clarity, not control.
💛 Use information as empowerment, not fuel for fear.

Your mind and body work best when you feel supported, not scared. And if you ever feel like the anxiety is louder than the symptoms, that’s a sign to reach out—not to panic.

Your health journey should feel grounded, informed, and guided… not overwhelming.

Feel empowered. Not fearful.
You deserve that kind of peace.

So many women tell me, “My autoimmune symptoms exploded when perimenopause started.” And honestly? The research is finally catching up to what we see clinically every day.

Hormonal shifts are immune shifts.

This new abstract from the American College of Rheumatology shows increased disease activity in psoriatic arthritis during perimenopause—but the pattern applies widely across autoimmune conditions.

Women’s immune systems adapt through every chapter:
• puberty
• pregnancy
• postpartum
• perimenopause
• menopause

Each transition impacts inflammation, symptom flares, and overall immune resilience.

If you feel like your autoimmune symptoms got louder during your 40s… they probably did. And there is absolutely something we can do about it.

This is exactly why Synergy approaches women’s health through the lens of hormones and immunity—because they’re never separate.

You’re not “crazy.” You’re not “overreacting.”
Your biology is speaking—let’s help it heal. 💛

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), or Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT), is one of the most effective medical interventions for alleviating debilitating symptoms associated with menopause.

Closing the door on our Brewer office today—where Synergy truly began. Thank you for every appointment, every conversation, and every step toward healing we shared here.

We’re ready for what’s next… and so excited for you to see our new home.

And my mantra that I always share with my children, you must be uncomfortable to grow. What are you making yourself uncomfortable with?

See you at 58 Main Rd N Hampden!
