Cold weather doesn’t mean your hydration needs disappear. 💧

Dehydration can worsen fatigue, headaches, constipation, and vaginal dryness.

Tip: Keep a water bottle with you throughout the day. Add lemon or fruit slices to add flavor to your water to encourage hydration! 🍋🍓🍊🥝🍍🥭

❤️ February is American Heart Health Month, and heart disease remains the #1 cause of death for women in the U.S.

Many women don’t realize their risk, and symptoms can look different than in men. Prevention starts with a healthy lifestyle, regular checkups with your OBGYN and primary care doctors, and keeping track of your BMI, blood pressure, and lipid profile.

All month long, we’ll be sharing heart-smart tips you can use right away. ❤️💪

🗓️Shorter days and less sunlight during the winter months can impact mood, energy, and sleep. For some women, this shows up as increased fatigue, low motivation, or feelings of sadness.

☀️Sunlight helps regulate:
• Serotonin (mood)
• Melatonin (sleep)
• Vitamin D levels (overall wellness)

A few gentle ways to support your mental health this winter:
• Spend time outdoors during daylight hours when possible
• Sit near windows or natural light
• Keep a consistent sleep schedule
• Stay physically active
• Reach out for support if mood changes feel overwhelming

If winter blues start to interfere with daily life, it’s important to talk with your provider. Mental health is an essential part of women’s health — in every season. 🩵

⏰Starting prenatal vitamins at least 1–3 months before conception gives your body the best foundation for pregnancy.

Prenatal vitamins provide key nutrients.
• Folic acid: supports early neural tube development
• Iron: prevents anemia + supports oxygen delivery
• Choline & DHA: important for brain + nervous system
• Vitamin D & Calcium: strengthen bones + immune health

It’s recommended that you continue prenatal vitamin postpartum and while breastfeeding. Once you run out of prenatals, buy a women's one-a-day multivitamin to support nutrient stores during this important time of recovery and milk production!
