Dr. Jenny's Weekly:

Bites, Finds & Better Health

Volume 11 · October Edition

Hello, October—and Hello, Salus Community!

October has its own special mood: cooler mornings, golden light, pumpkins on porches, earlier sunsets, and the quiet pull toward warmer meals and cozier routines. It is a natural transition month—a good time to take inventory of what is helping us feel grounded and what may need a seasonal reset.

This issue is full of meaningful women’s health and functional medicine news. We are highlighting the FDA’s recent public workshop on testosterone use in menopausal women, new research on exercise and PCOS, exercise and brain aging, and the developing science around mycotoxins and the gut microbiome.

We will also talk about fall allergies—because allergy season does not always end with summer—along with practical October health habits, three thoughtful books, and a trusted conversation on female hormone health with Dr. Sara Gottfried and Dr. Andrew Huberman.

Pour something warm, settle into the October mood, and let’s get into this week’s bites, finds, and better health.
