It’s Folic Acid Awareness Week! 🌿 September 14–20

Folic acid is a B vitamin that plays a big role in helping your body make healthy new cells—and it’s especially important if you’re pregnant or planning to be.
Why does it matter?

Getting enough folic acid before and during early pregnancy can help prevent certain birth defects.

🧡 You can get folic acid from:
Daily multivitamins
Fortified cereals and grains
Leafy greens, beans, and citrus fruits

3 Facts about Perimenopause 🌸

1️⃣It Can Start Earlier Than You Think
Perimenopause often begins in your 40s — but for some, it can start as early as the mid-30s. It's the transitional phase leading up to menopause, when hormone levels (especially estrogen) start to fluctuate.

2️⃣Symptoms Can Be Surprisingly Intense
Hot flashes, mood swings, sleep issues, brain fog, and irregular periods are common — and can last for several years. Every woman’s experience is different, and symptoms can vary in severity.

3️⃣You Can Still Get Pregnant
Even though fertility declines, it’s still possible to become pregnant during perimenopause. If you’re not trying to conceive, birth control is still recommended until menopause is confirmed.

Have questions? We're here to help.
