Want an easy way to assess your breast cancer risk? Your family history provides important insights.

Does your family have breast, ovarian, colon, or pancreatic cancer history? You might qualify for genetic testing! An initial visit to deeply review your family history will let us know if testing is appropriate for you. This will help us better determine if you're at higher risk for cancer development.

Take the cancer risk quiz through the link in my bio to see if you’re eligible for testing.

Your well-woman exam helps ensure that you’re on track for important cancer screens:

*Cervical Cancer Screening
Regular pap tests begin at age 21 to make sure the cells along your cervix are healthy and not showing signs of precancerous development

*Breast Cancer Screening
There’s a 3-part approach to breast cancer screening
1. Beginning with your first well-woman visit, a breast exam is performed to assess breast tissue for abnormalities.
2. Understanding the details of your family cancer history helps identify women at increased risk for breast cancer. Here, genetic testing may be appropriate to assess a woman’s risk of developing reproductive cancers.
3. Beginning at age 40, mammograms are recommended every 2 years based on your personal and family risk factors and personal preferences.

*Colon Cancer Screening
All women age 45 and older are recommended to begin colon cancer screening through either colonoscopy or Cologuard kit at home. Depending on personal and family risk factors we will discuss which is your best choice.

Top Five Fall Wellness Tips for naturally boosting your immune system

Before reaching for pills or powders to boost your immune system, make these lifestyle and nutrition tips a priority.

1. Make sleep your top priority. All good things happen while we’re asleep including peak immune function. If there’s one thing you do for your immune system
Prioritize sleep.

2. Reduce your sugar and simple carb intake. Sugar depresses immune function. Focus instead on fruit as your sweet treat and otherwise choose starchy veggies (squash, potatoes, carrots, etc) as a complex carb source.

3. Increase foods high in zinc such as dark meats and pumpkin seeds. Zinc is essential for cellular repair and immune function.

4. Enjoy foods naturally high in vitamin A such as egg yolks, dark meats, and orange veggies. (Think slow-cooked meats and root veggies for crockpot season!) They are important for respiratory function.

5. Exercise! Regular exercise is an immune booster. Whether it’s walking, yoga, or weight lifting, get your body moving.

Does your exercise routine make you feel energized or fatigued?

During times of sustained stress, high intensity or strenuous exercise may do more harm than good. I have seen this time and time again.

Highly motivated women continue running, Peloton, CrossFit, boot camp, you name it and then feel depleted and exhausted when they finish. When the body is already taxed by stress, intense exercise can be perceived as an additional stressor by the body and have the opposite of your intended benefits.

During stressful seasons, it is particularly important to support your body through restorative movement.

What’s restorative movement? It’s exercise that promotes strength, flexibility, and stress-relief through gentle, non-exhaustive activity. Walking, yoga, pilates, barre, hiking, or swimming are all good choices here.

Spending time focusing on gentle exercise for a while will give your body time to store up its batteries again.

Meet The Team: Lindsay, Office Manager

After spending ten years teaching, Lindsay began working with Courtney as her Certified Medical Office Manager in December 2021. Parenting several of her own children with serious medical challenges, Lindsay developed a great appreciation for nurses and medical administrative staff. She understands the complexities and emotions of healthcare and has a passion for helping patients through their journey to wellness.

Lindsay is the first point of contact for all women establishing care at our practice and she manages everything outside of clinical care. She is kind, responsive to patient needs, highly organized, and keeps the schedule and office rolling at full speed. We are so thankful for Lindsay!

Fun Facts about Lindsay:

-She is a former English teacher and still loves to lead book clubs for kids and adults.

-Her favorite books this summer were Everything Sad Is Untrue and Frozen River (inspired by the life of a real 18th century midwife).

-She lives in the woods of Bluemont with her family and chickens.

-Also dabbles in pickleball, running, and burning sourdough bread.

Even when you don’t have concerns, yearly blood work can give us important insights into your overall health.

And when there are concerns such as fatigue, menstrual problems, depression, or weight gain, thorough blood work becomes even more important.

Many women are told that their labs “look normal” while they still feel crummy. This is because each woman is different and “normal” values may not be optimal values for you!

Evaluation with a thorough discussion of results and recommendations are another important reason detailed lab work is recommended for most all patients I see. Most follow up visits are 30-60 min so that patients have a full understanding of their results and actionable steps towards improving their health.

Have you ever felt rushed when reviewing results with your provider? Or left the office being told you’re just fine while still feeling crummy?

Our thyroid hormones interplay with all body systems and affect our s*x hormones, stress hormones, immune function, metabolism, and more. It’s important to think “big picture” when evaluating these different hormone systems.

When is it important to evaluate thyroid function?... Most of the time!

Here’s a list of common women’s health symptoms that may be connected with your thyroid health.

Irregular periods
No periods
Heavy periods
Fatigue
Constipation
Weight gain
Hair loss
Infertility

Progesterone: The Smooth Operator

Ahh progesterone..This hormone is made ONLY after ovulation. It is important to realize that all forms of hormonal contraception prevent ovulation and therefore shut down all natural progesterone production. We only make progesterone if we are cycling naturally.

Progesterone helps us relax and chill out. Think of it as the “eat, sleep, and be merry hormone.” Healthy progesterone production is especially important for mental health and the prevention of PMS/PMDD.

Progesterone levels begin naturally declining in our mid/late 30’s so it’s not uncommon to see PMS/PMDD or heavy bleeding develop at this time.

Welcome Testosterone!

Though you may associate testosterone with male s*x hormones, it is also integral for women’s health. Like men, testosterone is important for our s*x drive, vitality, muscle, and motivation.

Unlike estradiol and progesterone, which plummet during perimenopause, testosterone declines slowly over time with age. While not all women will need testosterone replacement, for some women it can be an important piece to their HRT puzzle.

Like any hormone, too much or too little will get you into trouble. Too much testosterone might cause acne, anger, irregular hair growth, or irregular periods. Too little testosterone will lead to low motivation, fatigue, and lowered libido.
