Wellness Highlights: Hormones, Sunscreen Swaps & New Faces at aNew Health
Welcome to this edition of Well Notes — your go-to space for what’s happening at aNew Health, from practitioner insights to seasonal wellness tips. June was all about hormones, health swaps, and some exciting updates to our team!
Let's Talk Hormones — Yes, Even for Men
Hormones aren’t just a “female” issue. They play a vital role in nearly every system in the body — for everyone. They influence everything from sleep and energy to mood, weight, libido, and even skin and gut health.
Common Contributors to Hormone Imbalance:
✔ Life transitions (like puberty, pregnancy, menopause)
✔ Chronic stress & poor sleep
✔ High sugar intake & infections
✔ Environmental toxins
✔ Underlying health conditions
✔ Medications
Signs Your Hormones May Be Out of Balance:
Fatigue
Mood changes
Unexplained weight gain/loss
Decreased libido
Insomnia
Joint pain
Hair loss
Skin or gut issues
Your signs are not "just normal." If something feels off, it’s worth exploring. Dr. Jules offers hormone consults, testing, and custom protocols designed to support root-cause healing.
Summer Wellness: Clean Sunscreen Swaps
Before you hit the lake, check your labels. Many conventional sunscreens contain hormone-disrupting chemicals like oxybenzone, parabens, and synthetic fragrances.
Ditch:
Fragrance-heavy formulas
Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Homosalate
Spray sunscreens (especially around kids)
Switch to safer:
Mineral-based sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide
Brands we love: Beautycounter, Thinksport, Babo Botanicals, Raw Elements
A good rule of thumb? If you wouldn’t eat the ingredients, don’t let them soak into your skin.
