Can you believe September is already coming to a close? The last weekend of the month is here, and with it, the reminder that a new season is underway. Fall brings crisp mornings, colorful leaves, and a natural reset as we transition into cooler months. It’s also the perfect time to pause and check in on your health.
As the pace of the year picks up, school schedules, work demands, and the upcoming holiday season, it’s easy to put your well-being on the back burner. But your health is your greatest investment, and small steps today can set you up for success tomorrow.
Here are a few ways to use this last weekend of September to focus on yourself:
• Schedule a Wellness Check: If you haven’t had your annual physical or screenings yet this year, now’s a great time to get them on the calendar.
• Get Outdoors: The weather is cooler, the days are still long, and moving your body in fresh air is one of the simplest ways to boost your mood and immune system.
• Prepare for the Season Ahead: Flu season is around the corner. Ask your provider about vaccinations, immune support, and ways to stay healthy through the fall.
• Revisit Your Goals: With just a few months left in 2025, what healthy habit do you want to finish the year strong with? Whether it’s better nutrition, more movement, or getting the support you need, it’s not too late to start.
At our office, we’re here to help you take control of your health, whether it’s through preventive care, wellness visits, or services like weight management and hormone therapy. The end of September is not just about closing out a month, it’s about setting yourself up for the months ahead.
So as you enjoy this last weekend of September, take a moment to check in with your health. Small changes now can make a big difference later.
Between the hustle, the bustle, and the last-minute to-do lists, make sure you’re getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and most importantly, washing those hands! Flu season is here, and a little extra care goes a long way in keeping you healthy and able to enjoy every bit of December’s magic. As we count down to the holiday season, this is your friendly reminder to take care of you.

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.
