October Is Health Literacy Month: Your Health, Made Understandable

October 3, 2025

Empowering Your Health Decisions Today

Health literacy is your ability to find, understand, and use health information to make good decisions. At Wellness NOW, we believe clear, simple guidance turns worry into action, whether you’re tackling acne, hair loss, weight management, or overall wellness. This October, we’re doubling down on our promise: no jargon, no judgment, just answers that make sense.

How Wellness NOW Makes Care Easier to Understand

  • Plain language, always. We explain what’s going on and what to do next in everyday words.
  • Teach-back. We’ll ask you to repeat the plan in your own words, so we know it’s clear.
  • Personalized plans. Visits include tailor-made product recommendations (including options with NAD for healthy aging), plus peptides and hair oil choices for hair-loss support.
  • Transparent pricing. Dermatology $45 for 15 minutes; Weight Loss $55 for 15 minutes, no surprises.
  • After-visit steps. You’ll leave each visit with simple “do-this-next” instructions

7 Smart Ways to Boost Your Health Literacy Today

  1. Write down your top 2–3 questions before your visit.
  2. Bring your medication list (prescriptions, vitamins, supplements, and dosages).
  3. Ask “what are my options?” Understand benefits, risks, and costs.
  4. Request next steps in writing: how to take, how long, when to follow up.
  5. Confirm timing and red flags. When should you feel better? When should you contact us?
  6. Check sources. Favor .gov, .edu, or recognized medical organizations; look for dates and author credentials.
  7. Use teach-back yourself. Repeat the plan aloud; if anything feels fuzzy, we’ll clarify.

Myth #3: “If I feel fine, my cholesterol must be fine.”

Fact: High cholesterol is often called a “silent” condition because it has no symptoms.


  • It quietly increases your risk of heart attack and stroke.
  • A blood test is the only way to know your numbers.


💡 Wellness NOW can order labs and review your results virtually, so you can stay on top of your health without leaving home.

Quick Prep for a Great Telehealth Visit

  • Find a quiet, well-lit spot; test your camera and mic.
  • Have recent photos (for skin concerns), your med list, and any product names on hand.
  • List out what’s changed: when it started, what helps or worsens, previous treatments.
  • Keep a notepad nearby for instructions and next steps.

When Dermatology Is Your Focus

Skin questions are perfect for concise, focused virtual visits. In 15 minutes for $45, we’ll review your concerns, outline a plan, and recommend tailor-made products suited to your skin goals and simple routines that fit your time and budget.
