Your fall reset: Wellness starts within

As the leaves change, fall is the perfect reminder to check in on what’s happening inside your body — not just your calendar.
Novant Health encourages the community to use this season as a reset, whether that means taking a closer look at gut health, heart strength, weight management, or how they bounce back from injuries.
Weight management wins
For some, bariatric surgery or new medications like Wegovy can be life-changing. A dedicated care team can help determine whether surgery, medication, or a combination is best for long-term weight management and safe, sustainable results.
Gut check
Your gut microbiome affects digestion, immunity, and even mood. Small steps — like adding fiber-rich foods, eating a variety of plants, and gradually introducing probiotics — can have a big impact on overall health.
Heart smarts
Feeling winded from everyday activities could be a signal to check in on cardiovascular health. Cardiologists recommend screenings and preventive care to catch issues early.
Strong recovery
Sprains, strains, and fractures are common, especially for active adults and kids. Timely orthopedic care prevents minor injuries from turning into long-term problems.
