The holidays will be here before we know it. If you’ve been feeling tired, foggy, moody, unmotivated, or just not quite like yourself, now may be a great time to start — or restart — bio-identical hormone therapy.
Why now? Because hormone therapy often works gradually, not overnight. Giving your body time to respond over the next several weeks may help you head into the holiday season feeling more energized, more clear-headed, and more like yourself.
Could Hormones Be Part of the Problem?
Hormonal changes can show up in all kinds of ways, including:
- Low energy or ongoing fatigue
- Brain fog
- Mood swings or irritability
- Trouble sleeping
- Low motivation
- Reduced libido
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- That frustrating feeling of “I just don’t feel like me”
When hormone therapy is appropriate, the goal is simple: help you feel better in your everyday life.
Why Wait Until the Holiday Rush?
November and December can be wonderful — but they can also be exhausting.
Travel. Shopping. Cooking. Family. Parties. To-do lists.
Starting now gives your body time to adjust before all of that begins.
You may notice gradual improvements in areas like:
- Energy
- Mental clarity
- Mood
- Sleep
- Motivation
- Muscle tone
- Strength
- Overall sense of well-being
And if your treatment needs fine-tuning, there’s time to make adjustments before the busiest weeks of the year.
Already Tried Hormones Before?
If you used hormone therapy in the past but stopped, it may be worth revisiting.
Your symptoms, hormone levels, lifestyle, and health needs can change over time. A treatment plan that didn’t feel right before may need a new start.
Give Your Future Self a Head Start
Imagine heading into the holidays with more energy, a clearer mind, better sleep, and a little more patience for the chaos.
That sounds like a pretty good gift to yourself.
Don’t wait until the holidays are here to start feeling better. Start now and give your body time to catch up.
Schedule your consultation today and let’s see what feeling better could look like for you!

We’re making a change to the way you purchase supplements from our office — and we think you’re going to love it!
Rather than keeping a limited selection of supplements stocked in the office, we are transitioning our supplement dispensary to Fullscript, a trusted online platform designed specifically for healthcare providers and their patients.
To top it off, we’re giving our patients 10% off every supplement, every time, through The Renewal Point’s Fullscript dispensary. Just be aware that you must be logged in to our specific dispensary on Fullscript to get the discount. The links are below.
Why are we making the switch?
Simply put: more choices, more convenience, and the same high-quality products you trust.
With Fullscript, you’ll enjoy:
- The same trusted brands you’ve been purchasing from us — without having to wonder whether you’re getting the right product.
- A much larger selection. Fullscript carries thousands of professional-quality supplements, which means there’s a good chance you can get more of what you need in one place instead of shopping across multiple stores.
- Convenient home delivery. Order from your phone or computer and have your supplements shipped directly to your door.
- An easy-to-use app. Think of it as the convenience of Amazon, but specifically for your supplement and wellness needs. The Fullscript app lets you view recommendations, reorder products, manage refills, and keep everything organized in one place.
- Optional automatic refills, making it easier to stay consistent and avoid realizing you’re out of something at the last minute.
The convenience of online shopping — with greater confidence in quality
One of the biggest reasons we chose Fullscript is quality control.
Unlike a general online marketplace where supplements may come from a variety of third-party sellers, Fullscript sources products directly from vetted brands. Supplements are stored in compliant facilities and shipped under controlled conditions designed to protect product quality — particularly important for products that may be sensitive to temperature or improper storage.
In other words: you get the ease of online ordering without sacrificing the quality standards we care about.

Need help getting started?
We’re happy to help! If apps and online accounts aren’t your favorite thing, give us a call or stop by the office and we can help you get your Fullscript account set up.
Our goal is to make getting the supplements we recommend simpler, more convenient, and more affordable — while continuing to provide products we feel confident recommending.
We’re excited about this change and think you will be too!
Most of us know sleep is important, but that does not make it any easier when we are lying awake at night or waking up feeling exhausted.
Poor sleep can affect much more than your energy. It can leave you feeling foggy, irritable, unfocused, and less able to handle everyday stress. Over time, consistently disrupted sleep may also affect memory, hormone balance, immune function, metabolism, and overall well-being.
Your Body Is Busy While You Sleep
Sleep is not simply a period when your brain “turns off.” It is an active time of restoration and repair.
While you sleep, your body works to:
- Process memories and information
- Regulate hormones
- Repair tissues
- Support immune function
- Restore energy
- Clear away metabolic waste from the brain
This nightly reset is one reason quality sleep is so important for both physical and cognitive health. When sleep is repeatedly interrupted, the body may not have enough time to complete these essential processes.
Simple Ways to Support Better Sleep
Healthy habits can help signal to your brain and body that it is time to rest. Consider starting with a few of these strategies:
- Keep a consistent bedtime and wake-up time.
- Make your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
- Put away phones, tablets, and televisions before bed.
- Avoid caffeine and heavy meals later in the day.
- Limit alcohol, which can disrupt sleep quality.
- Create a calming bedtime routine.
- Try gentle stretching, reading, meditation, or slow breathing.
- Stay physically active during the day.
- Reduce fluids close to bedtime if nighttime bathroom trips are a problem.
Small changes may not transform your sleep overnight, but consistency can make a meaningful difference.
When Good Sleep Habits Are Not Enough
Sometimes sleep problems continue even after you improve your routine. That may mean there is an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.
Hormonal changes, stress, neurotransmitter imbalances, and nervous system dysregulation can all interfere with the ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake feeling refreshed.
At The Renewal Point, we take an integrative and functional medicine approach to sleep that looks beyond the symptom itself.
- Bio-Identical Hormone Balancing, when sleep difficulties are connected to hormonal changes
- NeuroCognitive Services, which helps identify and support factors involving brain function, neurotransmitters, and nervous system regulation
Our goal is not simply to mask the problem. We work to identify possible root causes and develop an individualized plan based on your symptoms, history, and diagnostic findings.
We Are Here to Help
You do not have to accept restless nights and exhausted mornings as your new normal. If you have tried improving your sleep habits and are still struggling, contact The Renewal Point.

At The Renewal Point, we value evidenced-based medicine and education, which leads us to use an integrative approach, combining the most reliable and effective therapies from traditional, metabolic, functional, and regenerative medicine.
Pam was working out and eating healthy but she wasn’t losing weight ~ in fact, she was gaining weight. Tests showed that the problem was due to imbalanced hormones ~ once she got those balanced, she lost 75 lbs!
This is one of the most common issues seen at The Renewal Point. But it can be tricky to detect and address because the symptoms mimic other disorders/problems and standard lab tests may not pick up the problem. Make sure you have a physician who specializes in thyroid imbalances and looks for their patients to be in optimal ranges (not just standard). Also, nutrients play a pivotal role in correcting the problem.
Lori used a combination of traditional and complementary medicine to battle a particular type of thyroid cancer. IV Vitamin C and Nutritional Therapy are key components in keeping her healthy!
Patient Joanne is now in remission and tells us how Dr. Watts helped her in her journey to overcome stage 4 Colon cancer.
Patient Lori shares her story ~ She led a healthy lifestyle but was still having trouble with ADD, brain fog, and other symptoms that cleared up through testing and balancing with Integrative Medicine.
Barbara is 80 years old, but has the energy and interest of a 60 year old ~ what is she doing to feel this way?! She says she has overcome lupus and is able to live a fulfilled life thanks to Dr. Watts. One of the keys to Integrative Medicine is to look beyond treating the symptoms in order to determine the cause. (8 minutes)
