🍂 Fall is the perfect time to get moving — walk, jog, bike, or even take a quick stroll on your lunch break. 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️ Every step counts for your health!

But here’s something many people don’t realize 👉 your gait and pace matter. As we age, movement speed can reveal a lot about overall health. That’s why gait speed testing is included in our Executive Wellness Exam at Wellness Ease.

Dr. Ellis recommends this MDVIP article to learn why speed matters, why it slows down with age, and how you can get the most out of your walks this fall. 💪

Most of us slow down as we age. We schedule fewer activities, relax more and get more rest. After raising children and retiring from careers, taking it easy can be a welcomed change. But slowing down also can be more literal like walking at a slower pace. This type of slowing down suggests your body...

🍂 Fall vibes are in the air—cozy sweaters 🧣, pumpkin spice lattes ☕, and those favorite candle scents 🕯️! But did you know not all candles are created equal when it comes to your health? Some can release chemicals like VOCs, phthalates, and petrochemical additives that may irritate your lungs 🫁 or disrupt your hormones.

Dr. Ellis believes knowledge is power 💡—and this MDVIP article does a great job breaking down what might be in your candles and how it could affect you, so you can make sure your home is as healthy and cozy as it feels this fall! 🍁

Who doesn’t love coming home to a house that smells like chocolate chip cookies? Or fresh herbs like lavender? You can even recreate your favorite scent memories like the beloved white tea-cedar-vanilla scent made famous by The Westin Hotel and Resorts in your own home.

🍁 A healthier fall and winter starts with prevention! 💉 The flu shot helps lower your risk of getting sick and can reduce the severity if you do catch the flu. And most insurance plans cover flu shots right at your local pharmacy.

⚠️ Important note: due to recent policy changes, there’s currently a shortage of COVID-19 vaccines. If you’re eligible, don’t delay in getting yours.

Dr. Ellis and our Wellness Ease team are committed to prevention and keeping you healthy this flu season and year-round. 🩺✨

😔 Feeling Tired, Low Libido, or Mood Changes? It Could Be HH
🧠➡️💪 Did you know your brain plays a big role in hormone health?
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) happens when the brain doesn’t make enough GnRH hormone— the signal that tells your body to produce estrogen or testosterone. Without those signals, hormone levels drop, leading to symptoms like fatigue, low libido, irregular cycles, or infertility.

The good news? With the right treatment, hormone balance can be restored. If this sounds familiar - reach out to us so that Dr. Ellis can work with you to get you back to feeling your best.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the resilience of our nation on this solemn day.

For Dr. Ellis, this is more than a day of remembrance. As a native New Yorker who was there when the towers fell, she was surrounded by the chaos and heartbreak that forever changed both her city and our country. This day remains deeply personal to her, as she carries with her the memories of the courage, unity, and humanity she witnessed.

May we never forget their sacrifice and continue to find strength in hope, healing, and unity.

Navigating menopause can feel overwhelming 😞 — especially when no one hands you a guidebook.
⁠
If you're not sure what to ask your doctor (or feel like your questions get brushed off) you’re not alone.
⁠
👇 Here are a few important questions that can help you get the clarity you deserve:
▪️ How can I feel better during menopause?
▪️ What symptoms should I be tracking — and why?
▪️ Could these changes be affecting my thyroid, insulin, or mood?
▪️ What are my real options for symptom relief — not just “wait it out”?
▪️ Are hormone therapies safe for me? What else can help?
⁠
Dr. Ellis walks through questions like these with patients every day and helps guide them through their individual journeys with menopause.
⁠
💛 If you’ve been feeling dismissed or confused, just know you don’t have to go through this alone. Your questions matter — and so does your quality of life!
