October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 💗 A time to honor those affected, support those facing a diagnosis, and make early detection a priority.

It’s also an opportunity to have thoughtful conversations about hormone health.

I want women to know: your long-term health AND how you feel every day deserve attention.

Poor sleep, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood changes, and feeling unlike yourself deserve more than “that’s just aging.” They deserve a thorough evaluation, because hormones aren’t always the only explanation.

Hormone therapy can help, but it requires an honest conversation about benefits and risks—including breast cancer risk. The type of therapy, duration, and your personal medical history matter.

A history of cancer doesn’t automatically rule out hormone therapy. The type of cancer, whether it was hormone-sensitive, and your treatment history all help guide that decision. Your healthcare provider and oncology team can help you explore appropriate hormonal and nonhormonal treatments.

This month, make room:
💕 Stay current on screenings and preventive visits, with screening tailored to your age and risk.
💕 Report new breast changes promptly, even if your last screening was normal.
💕 Talk openly about symptoms affecting your sleep, comfort, relationships, and quality of life.

You deserve care that takes your future seriously and listens to how you feel today. You deserve options.

An immune support plan. 🇮🇹 home and travel 🧳

☀️ VITAMIN D
It’s important you know your level and tailor your supplementation. Taking it and knowing whether you’re deficient are two different things. I like it between 50-70! Not the lab cut off of 30… Fun fact, COVID mortality research was directly related to vitamin D levels.

🥕 VITAMIN A + D
A short course of 50,000 IU of EACH for (ONLY) 3–5 days at the first sign of symptoms can stop an illness in its tracks.
‼️ 🚨These are high doses, and both vitamins can cause toxicity. High-dose vitamin A is especially concerning during pregnancy. Please discuss this with your provider (me 🙋🏼‍♀️) before trying it.

🧄 GARLIC + GINGER
🍵combine 1–2 crushed garlic cloves, strongly brewed ginger water, honey, lemon, and red pepper flakes. Think spicy comfort drink-great immune support. Also…possibly an excellent way to secure extra personal space on your flight. 😂

🧬 THYMOSIN ALPHA‑1 Peptide, along with LL‑37… a great peptide (when aquired safely) to boost the immune system!

Sleep and hydration is your ultimate hack, but some extra assistance can go a long way. Also, sleep can’t over compensate for low Vitamin D so get some sunshine and a high quality supplement! ☀️

Travel takeaway: plan ahead, address nutrient deficiencies, and let’s have a conversation about what actually belongs in YOUR travel kit.

Because nobody wants their favorite Italian memory to be the hotel tissue box. ✈️🇮🇹

Why does bread and cheese feel so different in Italy? 🇮🇹

It isn’t because calories or carbs magically stop counting when you cross the Atlantic.

It’s because many traditional foods here are still made like…food.

🥖 Bread: flour, water, yeast and salt. It gets hard the next day because it wasn’t engineered to stay soft for three weeks.

🧀 Parmigiano Reggiano: milk, salt and rennet. That’s it—no preservatives or additives needed.

Compare that with many American supermarket breads and “cheese products,” which may include added sugars, oils, preservatives, dough conditioners, stabilizers or anti-caking agents to improve texture and extend shelf life.

Italy absolutely has processed food, and the U.S. has wonderful artisan food. The real difference isn’t simply Italy versus America—it’s traditional food versus ultra-processed convenience food.

The takeaway: you don’t have to fear bread or cheese. Look for the version with recognizable ingredients, made as close to its original form as possible and choose organic when you can.

Also…the Italians will never forgive us for what we put in shelf-stable grated “Parmesan.” 😂

Turns out, travel really can be good for your health. 😍🇮🇹

Not because you need an international vacation to be well—but because stepping away from your normal routine gives your brain and body something many of us desperately need:

More walking.
More sunlight.
More connection.
More time outside.
New experiences.
Long meals without rushing to the next thing.
And a nervous system that finally gets permission to exhale.

Wellness isn’t only found in supplements, lab work, workouts, or perfectly planned meals. Sometimes it looks like wandering unfamiliar streets, laughing with people you love, eating the pasta, and remembering that life is meant to be experienced—not just managed.

Also, I’m happy to prescribe your next vacation. 😉✈️

Unfortunately, prior authorization will almost certainly be denied. 😬

Stay tuned for posts of very important research on pasta, w**e, and walking everywhere. 😉 ciao

Hi 🤍

I’m Cristi Jacobs, a Family Nurse Practitioner and the “Cristi” behind Cristi Jacobs Wellness.

Throughout my 11 years as a nurse practitioner, I’ve listened to so many patients describe the same frustration: they know something feels off, but they don’t feel heard—or they’re told everything looks “normal” without getting meaningful answers. Those conversations showed me the need for care that slows down, looks deeper, and addresses the ‘roots’ that shape how you actually feel—hormones, weight, energy, sleep, strength, libido, and more.

That’s why I started Cristi Jacobs Wellness.

I work with women and men throughout Kansas and Missouri through personalized telehealth care. We look at your symptoms, your labs, your health history, and what is actually realistic for your life. Then we create a plan together—which may include hormone therapy, weight-management support, nutrition, strength, sleep, supplements, or a combination of those things.

Outside of the practice, I’m a wife and mom of two, a farm girl, a new homeschool mom, and almost always in the middle of some kind of project. It’s a full and beautiful life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

This practice has grown completely through word of mouth, and I’m incredibly grateful for every person who has trusted me with their care and shared their experience with friends!

So, whether you’ve been here from the beginning or recently found me—I’m glad you’re here. And if you’ve been feeling like something is off and you’re ready to take a closer look, let’s chat!🤍

You don’t need to cycle it.
You don’t need a loading phase.
And any early weight change is usually water being pulled into the muscle—not body fat.

What I recommend:

• Creapure® creatine monohydrate
• 3–5 grams daily
• Take it whenever you’ll consistently remember
• No loading phase or cycling required

Look for the Creapure® logo on the label—not simply the word “creatine.”
