Wellness for H.E.R. Event Recap: Understanding Your Body and Beyond
When was the last time you truly understood what your body was trying to tell you?
On February 21, 2025, women from across Loudoun County gathered at My Wellness Physicians in Leesburg for an empowering evening dedicated to women's health. Our Wellness for H.E.R. – Health Matters: Understanding Your Body and Beyond event brought together expert insights, real conversations, and a supportive community—all focused on helping women take charge of their health journey.
If you missed it, here's what happened—and why events like these matter so much to our practice and our community.
An Evening of Education and Empowerment
From 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM, our Leesburg office at 1604 Village Market Blvd SE became a hub of learning, connection, and wellness. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and inclusive—a space where women could ask questions, share experiences, and gain clarity on topics that are often overlooked or misunderstood.
Leading the discussion was Dr. Minnie Cruz-Tolentino, a double board-certified physician in Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine. Dr. Cruz brought her expertise and compassionate approach to some of the most important—and often under-discussed—aspects of women's health.
What We Covered: Topics That Matter
The event explored critical areas of women's health that impact daily life, long-term wellness, and quality of life. Here's what attendees learned about:
Female Physiology and Hormonal Health
Understanding how your body works is the first step toward better health. Dr. Cruz broke down the complexities of female physiology in a way that was accessible, relatable, and empowering. From hormonal fluctuations to metabolic changes, attendees gained a deeper appreciation for the incredible—and sometimes challenging—ways women's bodies function.
Perimenopause and Menopause
Perimenopause and menopause are natural transitions, yet they're often surrounded by confusion and silence. Dr. Cruz addressed common symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and weight gain. She emphasized that these experiences are valid and treatable—and that women don't have to suffer through them alone.
"Understanding what's happening in your body during perimenopause and menopause gives you the power to make informed decisions about your health," Dr. Cruz shared. "You deserve to feel like yourself again."
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Hormone replacement therapy was a hot topic at the event. Dr. Cruz discussed the benefits, considerations, and personalized approaches to HRT, helping attendees understand how it can support energy levels, bone health, mood stability, and overall quality of life. She also addressed common myths and concerns, providing evidence-based insights that empowered women to explore their options with confidence.
Practical Wellness Tips
Beyond medical treatments, the event highlighted actionable wellness strategies. From nutrition and movement to stress management and sleep hygiene, attendees left with practical tools they could implement immediately to support their health and well-being.
What Attendees Experienced
The evening wasn't just a lecture—it was an interactive, engaging experience designed to meet women where they are in their health journeys.
Expert Insights: Dr. Cruz and our team of women's health experts shared the latest research, clinical experience, and compassionate guidance on navigating hormonal changes and wellness challenges.
Practical Tips: Attendees received actionable advice on embracing better health, from lifestyle adjustments to medical interventions that can make a real difference.
Q&A Session: One of the highlights of the evening was the open Q&A session, where women could ask their most pressing health questions in a supportive, judgment-free environment. No question was off-limits, and every concern was met with respect and expertise.
Exclusive Event Perks: As a thank-you for attending, guests received exclusive perks and resources to continue their wellness journey beyond the event.
Why Hosting Women's Health Events Matters to Us
At My Wellness Physicians, we believe that education is the foundation of empowerment. Women's health—especially topics like perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy—has been under-discussed for far too long. Too many women feel dismissed, confused, or alone when navigating these natural life transitions.
That's why we're committed to creating spaces where women in Loudoun County can come together, learn from experts, and feel supported. Events like Wellness for H.E.R. are more than just educational seminars—they're opportunities to build community, break down stigma, and remind women that their health matters.
We know that when women feel informed and empowered, they make better decisions for themselves and their families. And when one woman prioritizes her health, it creates a ripple effect that strengthens entire communities.
Hosting these events is our way of giving back and reinforcing our mission: A healthier tomorrow starts today.
