October brings a natural shift, cooler air, shorter days, and the vibrant colors of fall all remind us that change is part of life. Just as the seasons transition, our bodies go through changes too, and for many adults, those changes can be linked to hormones.
Hormones play a vital role in how we feel every day, from energy levels and sleep to mood, weight, and even mental clarity. When our hormone levels are out of balance, it can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, hot flashes, mood changes, trouble sleeping, or low libido. These are often signs that your body may benefit from Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
At Family Physicians of Cedar Rapids, we take a personalized approach to HRT. Through testing and evaluation, we can identify where your levels may be off and create a plan that helps restore balance naturally and safely. The goal is not just to treat symptoms, but to help you feel your best again inside and out.
As October reminds us of change and renewal, it’s also the perfect time to focus on your own well-being. If you’ve been wondering whether hormones could be affecting how you feel, we invite you to schedule a consultation and learn more about how HRT can help you regain your energy, confidence, and overall health.
🍁This fall, take the time to invest in yourself, your health, your balance, and your well-being.

Why This Week Matters Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week helps: • Educate communities about the challenges individuals face. • Encourage earlier diagnosis, which can greatly improve long-term health. • Support research, which has led to new treatments, better symptom management, and improved quality of life for patients. • Show solidarity with patients who often manage invisible symptoms every single day.
