Dear friends and clients,

Every time October rolls around, I reminisce about the gorgeous fall colors from PA; the pumpkin patches and hayrides; the crisp fall air, hot apple cider, beautiful sweaters; there were so many craft shows, it was hard to choose which ones to go to! Don’t get me wrong—I love living in Florida—but there’s just something about autumn up north…. But, the cinnamon brooms are back at Publix, pumpkin spice lattes are at Starbucks and I am getting excited about the few craft shows coming up in the next month or so. How are you celebrating this fall season??? What’s your favorite thing to do???

Our “Discover Your Healthy Mind & Body” event last month was a huge success. A few pics are on page 2. We learned so much from our great speakers and everyone has been taking advantage of all their freebies they received in their swag bags. I am looking forward to our group nutritional coaching sessions with Ivy Stirling, which start this month and take us through the holidays. If anyone else is interested, please reach out to me so I can get you in touch with Ivy.

Page 3 highlights our essential oil of the month—Breathe, our respiratory blend—yep, it’s that time of year when we need a little help to open up our airways for clearer breathing. And mark your calendars for our next essential oils class on Oct. 19th at 6:30 pm, “Your Body’s Second Brain—the Importance of Gut Health.”

EXCITING NEWS! We will be starting fitness classes twice a week on Tuesdays and Sundays beginning Oct. 2nd. Classes will be led by ISSA certified personal trainer Denise Lefebvre. Details are on Page 6. What a great pairing with Ivy’s nutritional program to get us through the Holidays!

Just a reminder that Melanie from Black Lab Yoga teaches yoga on Monday evenings at 6:30 pm; Wednesday mornings at 10:00 am and Friday mornings at 9:30 am. All classes are Gentle Flow and are great for beginners, intermediate and seniors. Drop-in fee is only $10. There will be no yoga on October 26th however. Come join us for flexibility, stretching, strength and mindfulness.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR OUR NEXT ESSENTIAL OILS CLASS!

OCTOBER 19TH AT 6:30 PM

The topic is “Your Body’s Second Brain—The Importance of Gut Health.” Gut bacteria is the hot new area of scientific research, with a growing body of evidence linking widespread health issues—ranging from obesity and diabetes to rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome and depression—to the presence or absence of various microbes. With a bit of planning and time, it’s entirely possible to restore the full health of your gastrointestinal system, which can have major positive effects on your entire body, from mood, to memory,

and more. Healing your gut allows the body to build a stronger immune system and produce the right kind of bacteria that tells your brain that it’s okay to feel good again.

This will be a great and informative class (and FREE!) RSVP 407-221-8716

Science has proved that there is truth to the "reset button," with evidence that vacation and meditation help improve immune function and psychological wellness. To further that finding, they discovered that meditation helps its practitioners be healthier longer. The Study: Scientists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the University of California, San Francisco and Harvard Medical School examined the biological effects of meditation and vacation and published their find-ings in Springer Nature’s journal Translational Psychiatry. The study involved 94 healthy women, aged 30-60, with 64 not regular meditators and 30 being regular meditators. Participants stayed at the same resort in California for six days, and randomized so that half were simply on vacation while the other half joined a meditation training program run by the Chopra Center for Well Being. The meditation program included training in mantra meditation, yoga, and self reflection exercises. It was de-signed by Deepak Chopra, M.D., who did not participate in data collection or analysis. Researchers collected blood samples and surveys from all participants immediately before and after their stay, as well as surveys one month and ten months later. The research team examined the changes in 20,000 genes to determine which types of genes were changing before and after the resort experience. Scientists performed an integrative transcriptomic analysis, comparing gene expression networks across all three groups of partici-pants and finding unique molecular profiles and pathway enrichment patterns. Results: Novice meditators, experienced meditators and vacationers had significant changes in molecular network pat-terns after the week at the resort, with a clear signature distingu­ishing baseline from post-vacation biology. The most notable changes in gene activity were related to stress response and immune function. Researchers assessed self-reported measures of well-being. While all groups showed improvements up to one month later, the novice meditators had fewer symptoms of depression and less stress much longer than the non-meditating vacationers. The psychological effects appear to be enduring, and it is unknown how much of this longer lasting benefit may be due to continued practice or lasting changes in how people view events in their lives. Therefore, it was proven that meditation provides both a physical and a psychological improvement. By im-proving immune function and reducing stress, it may also lead to healthier aging. The researchers have plans to replicate the studies against an at-home control group. Excerpt from Skin, Inc. magazine

I don’t know about you, but I think meditation is definitely

Fall is finally here. That means it’s time for a pleathora of pumpkins, loads of leaves changing colors and chemi-cal peels. You heard me right-chemical peels. Fall is the perfect time to do some serious repair work on your skin that has been exposed to summer’s damaging rays. One of the main components of skin rejuvenation is a heavier exfoliation to remove built up dead skin cells and help stimulate cell turnover-one of the most effec-tive ways to do this is with a chemical peel.

Chemical peels come in many different formulations, and after discussing your main goals with me, I will be able to assist you in picking the perfect one for your skin. From wrinkles to acne to hyperpigmentation, there’s sure to be a peel for your skin concern. So why is fall the best time for a peel? As the days get shorter and the weather gets a little cooler, you will likely be outside less. Once a series of peels begins, it’s best to stay out of the sun so as not to aggravate your skin and to protect the new skin you have just revealed. Fall and winter are the best times to get back on the wagon with your skincare routine in that you’ll see the benefits of your skin care treatments by the time the holidays roll around! And who doesn’t love to look fabulous in holiday pictures? Below are just some of the fabulous peels that Image Skincare has that can address pigmentation, sun/dark spots, acne, dry/dehydrated skin, aging, fine lines/wrinkles and unbalanced skin. And beginning October 1st, I am offering a special, which includes a FREE post-treatment kit after each peel:

It’s true, the early bird gets the worm. So does the late bird and the bird in-between. Because, by design, there are always more than enough worms.

In fact, the only bird that doesn’t get a worm

Cost: $8 drop-in session or $49 for the month

Why should you give group fitness a chance?

Group fitness truly helps with accountability

Everyone encourages everyone else

You are focused on what the instructor is doing and not anyone else—and

you’re making sure you’re doing the right exercises with the proper form

When you work out alone, you’re more likely to give up quicker than

working out in a group

And it’s way more FUN with others!

COME JOIN US OCTOBER 2ND AT 10:30 AM
