Your mini me isn’t just a mini you.

Your kids aren’t just tiny versions of you: their bodies and minds are completely different. T hey need different dosages of medicine. D ifferent amounts of radiation. Their ears, lungs, bones, kidneys and brains are different. That’s why, if they need to go to a hospital or urgent care, they need to go to a children’s hospital. From the size of our equipment to the colors of our walls, everything about our hospital is made just for kids. Because we understand that kids aren’t just tiny adults, and that your mini me n eeds incredibly different care.

Growing and developing bodies need growing and developing care.

Kids’ bodies are constantly growing and changing. Which means that everything from complex surgeries to simple procedures can have huge implications for their development. Knowing how a baby’s lungs, a child’s bones or a teenager’s mind needs to grow completely changes the care we give them. That’s why when we treat kids, we do it with their developing bodies in mind. So that when the kids in our care grow up to be adults, they can be just as healthy as the day they walked out our doors.

MICHAEL BYERS Michael Byers strives to produce “fun, dynamic, and emotionally driven” work. So while his illustration for “How To Retire Well In Colorado” (page 38) is a seemingly straightforward collage of the activities older residents can experience here, Byers also used a bit of creative license.

“For whimsy,” Byers says, “I added a bear waving hello.”

HILARY MASELL OSWALD It’s difficult to be optimistic in the face of Colorado’s dejecting behavioral health care stats. That is, until you meet the people striving to fix those numbers, as writer Hilary Masell Oswald did reporting “On The Front Lines” (page 20): “Smart people—clinicians, legislators, administrators—are working toward systemwide changes to make access easier.”

Retiring Right

W

e know, we know: It’s never too early to start thinking about retirement.

Honestly, though, besides a few dollars disappearing into our 401(k) accounts each payday, we saw leaving behind the 9-to-5 (“How To Retire Well In Colorado,” page 38) as a distant fantasy—some abstract destination.

As thirtysomethings, that made sense.

Then our parents joined the ranks of the willingly unemployed.

Society typically views retirement as “The End”—the culmination of one’s usefulness to the greater good. Thank you for your service. Please take this discounted movie ticket as a token of our appreciation. So we watched our folks approach this milestone with a certain amount of trepidation. They had spent decades building meaningful careers in offices and classrooms where they had been important, respected contributors. As such, they could afford retirement. But would they be able to survive it? Obviously, no one comes out the other side of their golden years intact (a fact we’d rather not think about). Plenty, however, struggle to find purpose. Without co-workers—who provide the regular, brain-invigorating interactions many of us take for granted—they could slide into mind-dulling social isolation. Worse, they might start meddling in their children’s lives.

You’d think we’d know our own parents better by now.

Jess’ mom has taken to Colorado’s trails like a Labrador let loose from her leash. She fills her daughter’s (and her daughter’s friends’ ) social media feeds with images of soaring peaks, golden aspens, and curious bears and recently regaled the Thanksgiving table with a tale of her harrowing pursuit of deer tracks through calf-deep Rocky Mountain snow. Spencer’s parents just returned from a threeweek road trip through the Southwest, where they hiked and explored Zion, Canyonlands, and Arches national parks. At home, his dad divides his time between antique hunting and cutting the grass for a women’s shelter, and his mom is suddenly a yogi. If they were more fulfilled when they were part of the daily grind, they did a great job of hiding it.

That’s not to say the transition has been without hurdles. But they were all able to leap them (or at least sidestep them gracefully) and discover more gratifying pastimes because they’ve maintained the physical and mental fortitude to attempt most any pursuit. So while our parents weren’t actually sources for our in-depth guide to staying fit during your elder years, their influence can be felt throughout the package.

They’re the ones who impressed upon us youngsters that, sure, nobody lives forever—but when it comes to savoring all that the West’s get-up-and-go culture and alluring landscapes have to offer, good health is its own fountain of youth.

LIGHT TOUCH

When David Martin, an avid ultramarathoner facing an arduous recuperation from surgery, heard about laser therapy—aka photobiomodulation—he thought it sounded like “something out of Star Trek.” Martin isn’t the first to suggest that its supposed pain-relief properties are more science fiction than fact. But a growing body of evidence indicates that the low-wavelength light both stimulates tissue regeneration (read: recovery) and temporarily disables pain receptors.

The latter finding has positioned photobiomodulation as a promising nonaddictive treatment for pain; earlier this year, the federal government issued a $2.7 million grant to encourage nurses in West Virginia to promote the therapy as an alternative to opioids.

For his part, Martin says the laser eased his postsurgical discomfort, and in June, he and two partners opened a storefront called Light Lounge in Evergreen to help others, well, see the light. Members get 24-hour access to the facility’s three custom-made, full-body photobiomodulation pods. Whether you’re looking to heal or manage pain, Martin suggests two to three sessions, lasting five to 12 minutes each, per week.

Most light therapy treatments aren’t covered by insurance yet (they are FSA- and HSAeligible). Martin, however, contends the $149 monthly fee is a small price to pay for technology that “could save the planet from inflammatory diseases.” Or at least help you recover faster between triathlons. —SPENCER CAMPBELL

After a hormone supplement helped Amy Beckley get pregnant, the Coloradan launched a startup that aims to demystify conception.

W

hen it comes to pain and pregnancy, most believe labor is the apex of agony. But women who struggle with infertility might argue the real anguish occurs before they conceive. Erie’s Amy Beckley (pictured) is one of them. After two years of trying to get pregnant and several miscarriages, she and her husband turned to in vitro fertilization (IVF). Although it was costly and invasive, it worked— about a year and nine months after starting IVF, their first son was born.

Beckley wanted a second child but knew she couldn’t endure the financial, physical, and emotional tolls of IVF again. In her search for other solutions, Beckley, who has a Ph.D. in pharmacology, wondered if her levels of progesterone, an obscure hormone released after ovulation that’s integral to reproduction, might be an obstacle. If a woman produces fewer than 10 nanograms per milliliter—and almost 60 percent do—it’s a lot harder for her to conceive or keep a pregnancy. Acting more on a hunch than actual science, Beckley requested a supplement from her doctor. Two months later, she became pregnant.

The experience helped Beckley realize that if she could develop a reliable, accurate progesterone test, other women might feel empowered too. “They could ask better questions and seek better treatment,” Beckley says. So, in 2016, she raised $43,000 via online crowdfunding to develop what would become Proov, a $40 at-home progesterone test kit—the first of its kind.

Used seven to 10 days after a woman ovulates, Proov’s paper strips function much like urinebased pregnancy tests: One vertical line means she has enough of the hormone to conceive.

Two lines, though, indicate she should consult a doctor about trying supplements.

Even when progesterone deficiency isn’t their only barrier to pregnancy, Proov’s users say they are grateful to be able to diagnose and treat at least one of the unknowns.

“Through this whole thing, you’re wanting information, and you’re wanting answers,” says Frisco attorney Courtney Edwards, who tried Proov and found out her progesterone levels were low after her husband met Beckley at a networking event. “[Proov] signaled to me, Yeah, you have an issue here. It helped me understand a little more about myself.”

To date, Proov has sold more than 12,000 kits and was named Startup of the Year at this past March’s South by Southwest technology festival in Austin, Texas. Yet Beckley is still striving to make the product more accessible: This month, Proov is unveiling an app that will remind women when to take the tests and also track the results.

Beckley hopes those small innovations will make having a baby just a little less painful. —KIM HABICHT

Risk’s Rewards

How a new playscape at the Children’s Museum of Denver scares your offspring into better health.

We all know American kids are spending too much time in front of screens—an average of six hours per day for eight- to 12-year-olds—but replacing smartphone games with outdoor experiences isn’t just about getting kids moving. “Risky play,” a type of physical activity youngsters crave (think: climbing trees, hide-and-seek), is a crucial part of physical and cognitive development. Enter Adventure Forest, a 500-foot-long aerial adventure course that opened at the Children’s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus this past June and is designed to (safely) encourage this sort of free play. “It’s about doing things at height or speed where there’s perceived danger or feeling lost and having to find your way,” Adventure Forest coordinator Karyn Perdue says. Here, we outline the ways the course’s various features help make your child stronger and smarter. —DALIAH SINGER

PICK A PATH

There are numerous access points into Adventure Forest (created in conjunction with Grand Junction’s Bonsai Design), but if children begin their journeys near the park’s entrance, they’re immediately faced with options: Walk up the staircase, or wiggle up the chimney climb?

Decision-making promotes self-efficacy.

OFF THE EDGE [1]

Taking the first step onto the rope spider web— situated 28 feet above the ground—allows children to confront their fears and learn to appraise risk. It’s also a practice in social navigation.

“It’s about encouraging other kids,” Perdue says.

“Comforting them and showing empathy.”

FLYING HIGH

The rope swing advances locomotor skills such as grip strength, coordination, and spatial orientation while allowing kids to feel what it’s like to not be in control. Once on the zip-line-like swing, for example, they can’t stop until they reach the other side. Explorers can also scramble across a net below the swing or walk around the side— choices that instill a sense of personal agency.

FROM THE BEGINNING [2]

Adventure Forest tells a story, in words and pictures, of reconnecting humankind and nature. It all stems from the creative mind of Wes Sam-Bruce, a New York–based artist born in Greeley. Some kids may race past

TO THE TOP [3] IF YOU GO

To experience Adventure Forest, you must be five years old or at least 44 inches tall and be able to climb independently (adults may only enter to accompany kids). Access is included in admission: $14 for ages two to 59 and $12 for those 60 or older.

To reach Adventure Forest’s highest point, kids climb up a series of ladders and platforms, building awareness of how their bodies move through space and improving agility and self-confidence. They must also navigate twoway traffic, a scenario that teaches them about patience, sharing space, and communicating (politely) with others.

INTO THE UNKNOWN [4]

A duo of 70-foot-long slides at the far end of the course are covered and steep, and kids must ride by themselves.

Although a staffer is present to prevent pileups, kids are expected to look over the side before beginning their descents to see if the base is clear for them to ride.

A

s I found myself skidding face-first down a blue run this past March, I was thinking more about injuries to my pride than to my body. But days after my shame from showboating—and then crossing my skis—had faded, I still couldn’t move my left arm. My sports medicine doctor believed I had ripped the supraspinatus muscle in my rotator cuff and wanted an MRI done to confirm her diagnosis—the sooner, the better.

If I needed surgery, the outcome would be greatly improved if we moved quickly.

I scheduled an MRI for the following week, but the day before, the provider called to tell me the appointment had been canceled because my insurance company had deemed it unnecessary; it wanted a lessexpensive X-ray first. I called to arrange the X-ray and was told it would be easier if I came during walk-in hours. I missed work to do so, only to be informed that walk-in hours had been suspended. Would I care to schedule an appointment? When I finally got the X-ray, it was (surprise) inconclusive. So I got the MRI two weeks later and the results two weeks after that: torn supraspinatus. Finally, though, good news—the doc thought physical therapy would repair it. Unfortunately, none of the PTs near my office took my insurance. After more than two months of haggling with my insurer, taking time off, and spending my lunch hours calling providers, I gave up.

The number one barrier to health care will probably always be money, even if Bernie Sanders turns the White House into an urgent-care clinic. But while I didn’t enjoy parting with six payments of $168.17 (thank God for installment plans) for that MRI, I could afford it. Rather, it was the health care obstacle course that wore me down—and I’m not alone.

According to a 2015 survey from the National Institutes of Health, a third of respondents reported “unfavorable evaluations of seeking medical care” as their number one impediment to seeing a doctor. Of those, nearly a quarter cited long waits and general hassles. In 2017, the health care consulting firm Merritt Hawkins reviewed the average wait time for five specialties in 15 large metro areas: Denver residents were forced to languish for 26.6 days, slightly higher than the national average. Study after study has discovered that these sorts of delays have positive correlations with heightened mortality rates. Thankfully, I’ve lived to tell this tale. I don’t know if I’ll ever ski again, though.

When the pain in my shoulder didn’t dissipate after a few months, I eventually found a physical therapist near my house who accepts my insurance. It’s greatly improved since. Nevertheless, as I write this, I’ve spent more than half a year missing out on some of my favorite things in this world—going to the gym, sleeping, putting my arm around my wife. I understand those stakes might seem trivial to many Coloradans. After all, 6.5 percent of residents don’t have health insurance, and nearly 20 percent of Centennial Staters have had problems paying their medical bills in the past year. If getting healthy was this difficult for me (an otherwise physically fit thirtysomething whose employer not only pays his insurance premiums,

About 416,000 adults in Colorado suffer from diabetes. No wonder, then, that oral insulin (read: no more needles) is considered the holy grail of diabetes care. Denver’s Creekside Endocrine Associates is part of the quest as one of only 37 places in the country testing an insulin pill developed

by New York’s Oramed Pharmaceutical. The key is ensuring the capsule reaches the liver before dissolving in stomach acid.

If successful, the pill could also drastically lower the average cost of diabetes care, which is currently nearly $10,000 a year in the United States.

This past August, UCHealth introduced the world to Alexa’s nerdy cousin, Livi.

An artificial-intelligencebased virtual assistant, Livi can be summoned on an Amazon Echo by saying “Alexa, ask UCHealth.”

Users can then pepper her with commands like Email me information on Crohn’s disease or Find me a neurologist, and Livi will consult network sources to locate the information.

UCHealth hopes to expand Livi’s capabilities over the next few years. This fall, for example, she was integrated into its electronic medical record system and mobile app so she can check your test results and appointment times.

Patients with movementdebilitating illnesses such as cerebral palsy get the much-needed, potentially dexterity-improving activity they require by donning virtual reality and augmented reality headsets and, for example, exploring alien planets. The diversions can also make it easier for kids to undergo difficult treatments: The anxiety a child feels before a lumbar puncture— an injection of medicine into her spinal fluid—might be lessened if she can confront the procedure while wielding a lightsaber.

A professor at the University of Northern Colorado might have finally found a way for serpents to pay penance for the whole exile-fromEden thing: Stephen Mackessy’s Venom Analysis Lab, which launched in the mid-1990s, has shown that toxins from some venomous snakes are capable of preventing cancer cells from metastasizing. The next step (likely still years away) is finding an application method that would weaponize compounds in the venom against a human’s cancer without harming the human’s body.

Both Lutheran Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente are early practitioners of “pharmacogenomics”— basically, how your DNA affects your body’s reactions to medicines. In Lutheran’s pilot program, primary care providers give some patients the option of a 20-second cheek swab.

Pharmacists and doctors can use subsequent genetic-testing reports to provide recommendations, such as lowering a dosage because genetic traits reveal your body might absorb drugs faster or suggesting you avoid a particular medication.

Pulse Q&A

remain consistent with federal law, you have to file applications with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health before you can actually get the cannabis from the government farm in Mississippi. The really strange thing is, after all this paperwork—plus a visit from the DEA—your marijuana cigarettes show up in a FedEx box.

Then what happened?

When people smoked government-grown marijuana in the lab here in Boulder, they hated it.

They said it was disgusting. We decided that it wasn’t useful to do research on a product nobody’s actually using, so we dropped it.

High IQ

What brought you back?

The professor of a new online marijuana class hashes out what scientists understand about the plant’s healing properties.

Just because there are more dispensaries than Starbucks in Colorado doesn’t mean we know much more about weed than we do about the makeup of Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The federal government classifies marijuana as a Schedule I narcotic— meaning it has “no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse”—so it’s still difficult for scientists to legally access samples for research. That, however, didn’t deter Kent Hutchison. Using clever and compliant workarounds, the University of Colorado Boulder psychology professor has been studying the plant since 2014; this past fall, he launched an online course called Medical Cannabis: Health Effects of THC and CBD. The four-class CU Boulder series gives medical professionals, patients, and budtenders—or, really, anyone who wants to pay $49 a month to subscribe to Coursera, the learning platform that hosts it—evidence-based counsel for using marijuana medicinally. We lured Hutchison out of his van (it’s not what you think) to discuss dosages, government ganja, and how to responsibly consume even when you don’t have all the answers.

Kent Hutchison on the CU Boulder campus

When Colorado legalized marijuana in 2014, we wrongfully assumed studying it wouldn’t be a big deal. But the university’s lawyers told us we’d have to modify our original plan because it’s not legal at the federal level, so we can’t bring it on campus. To this day, I can’t go buy weed for clinical trials.

How do you conduct research, then?

We set up a van as a mobile pharmacology lab and drive it off campus.

Study participants come to the van, we draw their blood, and we do some cognitive and motor testing. Then we tell them which product to buy and send them back to their houses to use it.

When they return later that day, we again draw their blood so we can measure exactly how

much THC they got, and we do that battery of tests again.

What have scientists learned?

Most agree on certain uses. An oral synthetic cannabinoid called Marinol (dronabinol) can ease nausea and dizziness caused by chemotherapy. For anxiety, we know you want something with CBD—a chemical compound in cannabis that doesn’t cause intoxicating effects—or a blend of CBD and THC. But we still don’t understand all the potential benefits of cannabis.

If there’s such little information available, why create this class?

My mother has chronic pain, and when she went to the dispensary and asked what she should use, the advice she got wasn’t always based on what we know scientifically. While we don’t have all the answers, we do know enough to offer some basic education about how to avoid harm.

Which is?

I think it’s wise to start with a higher ratio of CBD to THC, maybe 20:1. CBD is fairly benign, so you’re less likely to have a negative experience. If you’re taking an edible, a dose of 2.5 milligrams of THC is usually a good place to start. If you’re using an inhalable product, ask the dispensary about the flower’s potency. If the THC is 15 percent, a starting dose is typically one inhalation. If the potency is higher, you’ll want to try a half or even a quarter inhalation. I think the biggest thing, though, is to try your first dose in the evening before going to bed. That way, you can learn how you respond to it without feeling totally incapacitated around people.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

On The Front Lines

How Colorado providers are bringing the fight—and hope—directly to those caught up in the state’s dire behavioral health crisis.

sychologist Shandra Brown Levey stands in the fluorescent glow of a doctor’s office hallway, just outside an exam room. She waits quietly but eagerly: The man on the other side of the door struggles with his mental health but has been hesitant to tell anyone other than his primary care doctor, whom he’s visiting today. For months, he’s refused to meet with Levey’s team of psychologists, embedded here at the UCHealth A.F. Williams Family Medicine - Stapleton clinic. Levey hopes today is the day he finally lets her in.

The patient is hardly an anomaly. Nearly 660,000 Coloradans—about one in seven residents—claimed they did not get

the mental health services they needed in 2019, according to the nonprofit Colorado Health Institute’s most recent Colorado Health Access Survey. That’s a 77.6 percent increase from 2017.

Although the surge might represent more people acknowledging that they need care, it also reflects a serious dearth of access in the Centennial State. According to the survey, cost was the most prevalent reason for not seeking treatment, followed by uncertainty about whether insurance would cover it and difficulty getting an appointment. Meanwhile, Colorado ranks 10th in the country for deaths by suicide, and teen suicide deaths increased by 58 percent between 2016 and 2019—the highest rise nationwide.

BEHAVIORAL HE ALT H

I DID NOT HAVE TIME FOR DOWN TIME BUT TIME WAS UP FOR MY HAIRLINE.

Fortunately, Colorado’s behavioral health woes aren’t going ignored. Organizations all over the state are rallying to bolster services so people can access them when and where they’re needed—before a crisis arises.

One of the biggest investments will come from UCHealth, which runs Levey’s clinic.

Announced in September, the Aurora-based nonprofit health system’s more than $100 million, five-year spend includes expanding Levey’s integrated model (i.e., psychologists physically on hand in family care offices to help patients) across its network. The goal is to encourage medical professionals and patients to care for mental wellness as assiduously as they do the rest of the body. “You don’t think about depression the same way you think about diabetes, so maybe you don’t seek treatment—or if you do, it’s hard to find,” Levey says. “We’re trying to fix that.”

edies to know that humanity has struggled with mental health problems for millennia.

But our current crisis—at least as it relates to access—stems in large part from a movement in the mid-20th century to shutter public long-term care facilities and psychiatric hospitals. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed the Community Mental Health Act, signaling a shift from warehousing patients in institutions to delivering what’s called community-based care: outpatient treatment supported by then newly developed psychotropic medicines. The missteps that followed—including underfunding for community health centers—meant many patients got lost in the transition between the two models and never got care at all.

Perhaps as a result, mental illness and disorders “are the number one health crisis in our country,” says Vincent Atchity, president and CEO of Mental Health Colorado, a grassroots advocacy and lobbying group. He points out that most of us don’t know how to care for our “behavioral health,” a term that covers mental health, psychiatric disorders, and substance abuse. The deficits are especially pronounced for vulnerable populations. Nineteen school districts in Colorado, for example, have fewer than one full-time school psychologist or social worker.

The grave state of behavioral health care for young people has long been evident to practitioners at Children’s Hospital Colorado, which has invested $150 million into initiatives to address the issue over the past decade. Since the formal branding of its Pediatric Mental Health Institute in 2014, Children’s has greatly expanded its spectrum of care—inpatient services; partial

BEHAVIORAL HE ALT H hospitalization for kids who can sleep at home but need significant daytime support; outpatient programs with talk, group, and family therapy—and embedded behavioral health professionals in every corner of the hospital. “If a kid is admitted to the ICU, we have a behavioral health team member who comes in even before the child is medically stable,” says Shannon Van Deman, who leads the institute. After all, an adolescent who’s injured in a car accident might also show signs of suicidal ideation.

“We’re trying to do our part to identify kids in need,” Van Deman says, “irrespective of why they’re coming through our doors.”

Still, in 2017, Colorado ranked 48th in the country for prevalence of pediatric mental health issues and lower rates of access to care. So that same year, Van Deman and other administrators and clinicians launched Partners for Children’s Mental Health, a statewide public-private partnership that researches why kids here are struggling and what changes could help.

It discovered that Colorado doesn’t have a standardized behavioral health screening for physicians to administer and that 60 percent of kids who died by suicide visited their primary care doctors during the last month of their lives. The group advocated hard for Colorado Senate Bill 19-195, which passed into law in May and demands a standard approach to screening and a standardized system to get children whose exams reveal they need treatment in to a specialist. (The state has until July 2020 to figure out how to implement the mandates.) “If we don’t effectively address this in childhood,” Van Deman says, “it absolutely manifests in adulthood, and often in an acute way.”

roland delaney is soft spoken and has a gentle, weary countenance that belies his warm smile. The 64-year-old served in the U.S. Navy from 1975 to 1992; upon his discharge, he started experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. He eventually tried to get treatment through the military and several different health care providers.

Says Delaney: “They asked what my problem is, and I said, ‘I have this S on my chest that means I have to save everybody, and if I don’t save them, I feel real bad.’ ” But nobody seemed able to help him erase that letter—or give him relief from the dark places his mind and soul wandered. Which is why Delaney kept Levey waiting for months outside that exam room door.

Eventually, when the sadness and anger became all-consuming, Delaney relented.

“Our first official meeting together was me 24

crying and her listening,” he says. But Delaney came back regularly. Levey and the primary care doctor collaborated to adjust his medication, and Levey tried various evidence-based approaches to help the vet understand and deal with his emotions.

Then, a breakthrough: Using a virtual reality headset and immersive software that leads him through mindfulness and mood exercises, Delaney says he found a way to “slow down and breathe and not feel alone” and avoid emotional dips between visits with Levey. Delaney bought a headset to use at home and recently revealed to her that he’s using it to learn Spanish. The only problems? “I’m having trouble talking to the [virtual] cab driver,” he laughs. “And sometimes my girlfriend thinks I’m talking to another woman.”

Levey says Delaney’s story is just one example of how bringing behavioral health providers to patients—rather than making them try to navigate the system—changes outcomes. Her office began providing integrated services decades ago, but UCHealth’s big investment will replicate the model by embedding counselors in dozens of primary care clinics in Colorado (and potentially southern Wyoming).

UCHealth isn’t the only local provider working to beef up front-line services. Two years ago, SCL Health launched Mental Health First Aid, an eight-hour training program managed by the National Council for Behavioral Health and Missouri Department of Mental Health that equips community members—such as teachers, first responders, and business owners—to recognize risk factors and warning signs for behavioral health issues and teaches them what to do until professional help arrives.

At Kaiser Permanente Colorado, for several years physicians have been able to call the Mind Line and reach a psychiatrist for quick advice on a patient’s medication or to get an urgent referral to a specialist.

The hope of all these approaches? That by meeting patients where they are, health care providers can finally begin to chip away at the enormous behavioral health needs in Colorado. “I deal with more complex mental health needs than you might expect in primary care,” Levey says. “It makes sense, because we’re the first line of defense, the first people to step through the door and say, ‘I’m here. I’m your person. Let’s help you get well.’ All it takes is the patient opening one door.”

Detox Your Home A dirty abode isn’t just embarrassing—it can make you sick. Consider this your starter kit to a healthier house and a healthier you.

BY DALIAH SINGER WE HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, but your home

is filthy. Not just dust-on-the-bookshelves, dishes-in-the-sink, dog-fur-on-everything filthy, either. We mean dirty—as in, there’s bacteria everywhere. Cold and flu viruses can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours, and coliform (the bacteria family that includes salmonella and E. coli) is present in around 80 percent of households. Formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, is released by materials commonly found in flooring and furniture, and better insulation means it’s trapped inside for longer. It’s no wonder, then, that the concentration of pollutants inside our homes has often been found to be two to five times higher than it is outside. And even if recreation-happy Coloradans spend slightly more time outdoors than most

Americans, who pass 90 percent of their lives indoors, we still breathe in lots of hours’ worth of toxic chemicals and pollutants, especially this time of year.

“The various classes [of chemicals] we’re exposed to every day, from the house-cleaning products we are using to plastics to sprays… have effects on chronic respiratory outcomes, such as asthma, allergies, and lung diseases,” says Dr. Dana Dabelea, professor of epidemiology and pediatrics at the Colorado School of Public Health. “Others have effects on our endocrine systems.” The good news? Simple changes can ensure your home is a safer place for you, your kids, and even your pets. Read on for a primer on how to un-yuck your house to make this your healthiest year yet.

Work, yoga, that new Netflix series: We get it, you’re busy. But certain cleaning tasks should be nonnegotiable. We plotted out common oversights and mistakes, from ones you shouldn’t feel too guilty about to those you need to correct ASAP. JUST A LITTLE NASTY

Traipsing dirt into your house because you left your hiking boots on—particularly if you have a toddler crawling around. Pollen and pathogens are easily trapped in carpets and can cause allergies and asthma to flare up.

Not rinsing your toothbrush holders or electric charging bases. Yeast, mold, and even staph have been found on toothbrush holders. Soak them in hot water and scrub with soap every week or so. (Also, this should be a given, but: Store them as far from the toilet as possible.)

Neglecting to clean your humidifier. Bacteria can grow in standing water, so make sure you wash these dry-climate essentials—vinegar works well—and dry them at least once a week.

Failing to turn on your stove hood or fan while cooking, which releases indoor pollutants.

Washing your hands with antibacterial soap.

It sounds like a good thing but can actually introduce harmful chemicals (benzalkonium chloride, chloroxylenol) into your body and your environment. Regular soap is just as effective.

Sleeping without a mattress protector, where dead skin and dust mites accumulate.

(Of course, you’ll need to regularly wash your cover to avoid breathing in that detritus every night.)

Not reading the ingredient/ material lists on the cleaning products and furniture you buy; many have been linked to cancer, fertility issues, asthma, and other problems. Tips: Avoid fragrance, formaldehyde, sodium laurel sulphate, and perchloroethylene, and look for the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safer Choice label.

Using pesticides to maintain a weed-free lawn.

Pesticides have been found to cause cancer, hormonal changes, and even depression, and they can be brought into your home on your body or your shoes. Try an all-natural herbicide instead.

Which room in your house is the germiest? You might guess the bathroom, but it’s actually—drumroll!—the kitchen, according to NSF International. The public health and safety organization found in a small 2011 study that coliforms are most prevalent there. “More than 20 percent of foodborne illness outbreaks result from food that was consumed inside the home,” says Lisa Yakas, NSF’s senior project manager of consumer products. To avoid that, you need to go beyond cleaning and actually sanitize the dirtiest areas of your kitchen. Here’s how.

Ick Factor: One of the top five germiest spots in your home, pet bowls can be breeding grounds for bacteria (E. coli, salmonella), mold, and yeast.

Ick Factor: A 2008 University of Arizona study found that cutting boards hold 200 times more fecal bacteria (often from raw meat) than the average toilet seat.

KITCHEN SPONGE

Ick Factor: Your sink handles a lot—dirty dishes, vegetable peels, raw meat juices—so it’s no wonder it’s a germ hot spot.

De-Germify It: Wash food and water bowls daily, ideally at high heat in the dishwasher. Disinfecting them once a week is also a smart move; hydrogen peroxide works great in place of bleach.

De-Germify It: Wash with hot, soapy water (or scrub with the cut half of a lemon and coarse salt). Then, to sanitize plastic chopping blocks, toss them in the dishwasher.

For sealed wooden cutting boards, use a food-safe spray like Denver-based CleanWell’s Botanical Disinfectant.

Ick Factor: “Dark” and “damp” are magic words for germs. Coffee maker reservoirs satisfy both conditions and are, Yakas says, “prime locations for bacteria and mildew to grow.”

Ick Factor: Meat thawing and dripping.

Vegetables overripening. If we’re not cleaning our fridges regularly, we might be spreading salmonella, listeria, E. coli, yeast, and mold.

De-Germify It: Every 40 to 80 brew cycles, fill the reservoir with undiluted white vinegar. Let it sit for about 30 minutes and then run the vinegar through a regular cycle, followed by two or three more cycles of fresh water to flush everything out.

De-Germify It: Remove your fruit, vegetable, and meat drawers; wash them in warm, soapy water; and let them dry before returning them to the fridge. Repeat on a monthly basis.

Also, store produce separately from proteins that need to be cooked.

Ick Factor: Instead of just cleaning dishes, folks tend to use kitchen sponges to wipe down countertops, spills, and more.

As a result, the porous utensils were the most contaminated items in the NSF study, with more than 75 percent containing coliform (compared to just nine percent of bathroom faucet handles).

De-Germify It: Yakas recommends zapping wet sponges in the microwave daily for two minutes. Also: Replace them often.

De-Germify It: Wipe it down regularly with dish soap. For a deeper clean, sprinkle baking soda over the surface and rub it in a circular motion (use a soft cloth to avoid scratches). Rinse it all off with white vinegar, then water.

Three nontoxic but effective cleaning agents you can make at home.

• GLASS & MIRROR CLEANER Courtesy of Denver’s Humble Suds, a maker of plant-based cleaners, this blend avoids the ammonia in conventional glass and mirror products, which can irritate the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.

We asked Nicholas Giaquinto, a conservatory horticulturist at Denver Botanic Gardens, to recommend four hard-to-kill, air-purifying plants so you can breathe easier.

Ingredients 1 part water 1 part vodka 1 drop of castile soap (try Dr. Bronner’s) Directions Pour all three ingredients into a spray bottle. Stir or shake to mix. Spray onto mirrors, windows, or glass and wipe clean.

• TOILET BOWL SCRUB For a heavy-duty scrub that deodorizes while it cleans, try this concoction from Lyndsey Manderson, owner of Zero Market. You can find 1,000-plus refillable products (including essential oils) at its new location inside Edgewater Public Market.

Ingredients ½ cup baking soda 10 drops tea tree oil ¼ cup vinegar Directions Pour the baking soda and essential oil into the toilet; then add the vinegar and scrub as the mixture fizzes.

FOR THE BATHROOM

Rose-Painted Calathea (Calathea roseopicta)

Mother-In-Law’s Tongue (Sanseveria trifasciata)

Flamingo Flower (Anthurium andraeanum)

Because it prefers low light and high humidity (it grows naturally in South American rainforests), this decorative prayer plant with eye-catching leaf patterns is wellsuited to the bathroom. It filters a variety of poisonous compounds and is nontoxic to pets.

Also called snake plant, this uber-popular, sculptural houseplant is particularly good at extracting formaldehyde and benzene. It also gives off oxygen at night, making it a great sleep companion.

Place it near a window where it can access indirect sunlight.

This year-round bloomer with pink or red flowers needs bright, indirect light and likes to live next to the faucet (or get regular spritzes of water). It absorbs ammonia—often in cleaning products—airborne formaldehyde, toluene, and xylene.

Beware: Cats and dogs can get sick if they ingest too much.

FOR THE OFFICE

ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) Known as the “plant of steel,” the (pettoxic) ZZ plant will survive even if work deadlines keep you from watering, and it can handle lower light. It also removes a number of pollutants from the air, including benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylene, so while working late may feel like it’s killing you, it won’t be.

You’ll find this recipe inside EcoMountain Modern Living’s Sunnyside and Park Meadows stores, which host mix-yourown cleaning product stations and sell bulk goods, including orange, lemon-lime, grapefruit, eucalyptus, and peppermint terpenes (aka cleaning oils). Use it on hard surfaces such as counters and tubs.

Ingredients 14 oz. distilled water 2 oz. cleaning oil Directions Mix in a glass spray bottle; spritz (let it sit for a minute on stubborn areas); and wipe dry.

HOME SCHOOL

In June 2018, researchers from nine universities converged on one 1,200-square-foot manufactured home in Austin, Texas. They cooked and cleaned— not for their health, but for yours, as part of the HOMEChem (House Observations of Microbial and Environmental Chemistry) experiment, which aims to find out how everyday activities affect the quality of the air your family breathes.

In particular, they looked at oxidants; volatile organic compounds, or VOCs; and particulate matter, all of which may have negative impacts on human systems.

They’re still analyzing the data, but in the meantime, we caught up with Marina Vance, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder who participated in the study, to chat about what she’s learned— and what it means for you.

5280 Health: What are the biggest takeaways from HOMEChem so far?

Marina Vance: We saw that cooking emitted a large number of particles and that these particles were very small—capable of penetrating the human respiratory system. However, due to air exchange and interactions with surfaces, these peak concentrations of particles were short-lived and didn’t linger for a very long time after cooking activities were finished.

Trade Your: Standard HVAC vent covers For: Ventcenters’ Lesich Vents Because: With a basket, a filter, and a cover, these vents provide medical-grade filtration, removing particles down to 0.3 microns (pollen is seven microns) from the air circulating in your home. The Aurora company also designed them to catch the crud that falls into your vents so you can easily remove it when you change the filters every three months.

Find It: ventcenters.com; $35 per vent (the average home has 21, but for optimal results, you only need to replace 12 of them), $5 per filter replacement

Still—anything we can do?

There is a body of evidence that things like cooking and cleaning emit indoor pollutants, so we recommend ventilating your home when performing those activities. This can be as simple as opening windows; however, outdoor air pollution levels need to be taken into consideration too. I recommend checking the website airnow.gov to check outdoor conditions. Another option is the use of portable air cleaners, especially those that contain an activated carbon filter (to remove VOCs) and a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter to remove particles.

What about furniture, flooring, etc.?

Building materials and furniture can off-gas low-volatility compounds for long periods of time, even decades. Many of these compounds are still under investigation by researchers, but we know that some, like phthalates [used in large quantities in vinyl flooring], are endocrine disrupters. For people in homes with large amounts of vinyl, I recommend dusting with a wet mop to minimize exposure to household dust [where phthalates tend to accumulate], especially to children and pets.

quality of life. That jibes with the conclusion realtor.com recently reached when it ranked Denver the fourth most popular relocation spot for baby boomers: “The most expensive city on our list features 300 days of sunshine a year, easy access to flyfishing spots, skiing, rock climbing, hiking trails, golf courses, and a trio of world-class pro sports franchises (go Broncs!),” the report noted. “Basically, you can do just about anything here.”

We agree, with one caveat: To spend the best years of your life enjoying the best the Centennial State has to offer, you need to stay in the best shape possible. That’s why we spoke with local experts—from retirement coaches to nutritionists to some of Colorado’s most adventurous seniors—to discover fun, engaging ways to keep your body, mind, and spirit firing during what’s going to be (we promise!) your golden age.

Money Isn’t Everything YOU’RE FINALLY RETIRED. NOW WHAT? We’re not saying a flush retirement account isn’t the most important thing—to be clear: it is—but that isn’t the only kind of prep work you should be doing. “It’s been my observation that 60 to 70 percent of people enter retirement with no nonfinancial plan,” says Gary Allen Foster, a certified retirement coach in Highlands Ranch. His advice?

Three to five years before R-Day, begin talking with your partner about what your later years will look like. (If you fantasize about daily tee times and she envisions an endless RV road trip, you’ll want to work on a compromise.) Post-retirement, it’s OK to spend a year or so reflecting, traveling, and experimenting with hobbies and volunteer opportunities. Your goal is to find pastimes that are rewarding, meaningful, and give you purpose. “You’re not being told to show up at 8 o’clock in the morning and work all day to build somebody else’s dream,” Foster says. “You can build your own dream.”

ne of the (many) jokes cracked at Florida’s expense marks the Sunshine State as “God’s waiting room.”

But that’s only because in Colorado, our eldest denizens aren’t here to pass their remaining time dotting bingo cards.

HAPPY MEALS

Your body is changing. Again. The good news? Less acne this time around. The bad news?

Your physiological power plant is slowing down, so you need to be more cognizant about how you fuel it. That’s why we asked Alexandra Georgiadis, a registered dietician at Boulder’s Essential Nutrition who specializes in seniors, to order up foods that’ll keep your body primed.

Water

Eggs Why: A recent study showed that 50- to 70-year-olds lose muscle mass at a much higher rate than younger people. The key to staying jacked? Protein— and there are about six grams in a single egg. But the timing of consumption is as important as the amount. “The body is good at storing extra fat and carbs,” Georgiadis says, “but not amino acids, the building blocks of protein.” That means consuming protein-rich foods at every meal, starting with the most important one of the day.

Buy local: You should have no trouble finding cartons from Denver’s NestFresh, which sources cage-free eggs from family-owned farms (many in Colorado) to sell at Whole Foods Market, King Soopers, and Costco.

Hate eggs? Any lean meat— such as a chicken breast or top sirloin—will do. Plus, Georgiadis recommends having nuts on hand to ensure your guns never go too long without ammo.

Why: Your retirement fantasies probably revolve around a steady rotation of margaritas and mai tais, but don’t forget to chase them with eight to 10 glasses (for women) of H20 per day; men need nine to 12.

Chances are, you’re taking more medications, which tend to dry people out, and your kidneys don’t process water as efficiently as they once did, leading to higher rates of dehydration.

Buy local: Drain EcoVessel’s new stainless steel, 32-ounce Boulder water bottle ($35, named after the company’s hometown) three times a day and you’ll always stay properly hydrated.

Hate water? Dissolve a Nuun Vitamins tablet (12 for $7) in 16 ounces of water and you’ll get 10 milligrams of vitamin C, 10 micrograms of vitamin D, and a 100 percent better taste (flavors include blackberry citrus and tangerine lime).

Kale

Spinach Why: Many seniors don’t get enough iron in their diets, so they suffer from the energysucking condition called anemia.

A half cup of this cooked veg stocks nearly 20 percent of a person’s daily recommended intake of iron, an integral part of the hemoglobin that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

Getty Images (4)

Buy local: Wheat Ridge’s Four Seasons Farmers & Artisans Market (Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) promises to carry fresh greens during its winter session.

Hate spinach? To keep your blood pumping and your spirit surging, turn to Thanksgiving standards: turkey and pumpkin seeds.

Why: Skeletal growth is the result of interplay between bone expansion and reabsorption; as you get older, you experience more of the latter than the former. Calcium—a gaudy 90 milligrams of which is found in a cup of raw kale—preserves bones and encourages their development.

Buy local: You can’t get more local than your own garden.

Sow kale during the cooler months to reap the benefits of a calcium patch right outside your back door.

Hate kale? A 4.5-ounce serving of plain yogurt from Boulder’s Noosa delivers almost 20 percent of the average daily recommended amount of calcium.

Although the circumstances weren’t what we had predicted, my wife and I had actually planned for this scenario. Before I was laid off, we had visited a number of possible golden-age destinations, hoping to find a place we could spend our later years enjoying rich, active, fulfilled lives. Sadly, exploratory missions to Nice, France (deal breaker: French waiters); Key West, Florida (hurricane season); and Sedona, Arizona (too many crystal shops) had left us directionless.

Then, six months before the axe fell at work, we visited Boulder.

M

y wife and I were free at last.

Our sons had grown and gone, and unlike many of their peers, they wouldn’t be returning home.

Before we could revel too much in our empty nest, however, my employer of 20 years announced it was granting me a different, far less exciting sort of emancipation: unemployment. I was suddenly left with no kids, no job, and—I gleefully realized once the initial shock wore off—no ties to the Pennsylvania town where we’d spent our decades of parental servitude.

The Aha! moment came as we were walking down the Pearl Street Mall, where we kept noticing people who looked to be about a decade past my 60 years. Yes, they were geezers—but great geezers. The men were lean with ropy forearms and cool shirts; the bright-eyed women shook out their gray tresses with pride. These were people my wife and I could aspire to be 10 years hence. Sadly, I’m not a tech gazillionaire, so we couldn’t afford Boulder. Rather, we settled in Fort Collins—and what a bargain we’ve made.

One reason Colorado ranks so highly on retirement lists is because it scores well on “physical activity,” a fact borne out by my lifestyle here. I’m enrolled in a cross-training class at FoCo’s Northside Aztlan Community Center on Mondays and Wednesdays; I recover at the same joint during Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday yoga classes; and I play hoops with a bunch of 50-, 60-, 70-, and 80-plus athletic anomalies on Friday mornings.

Sure, I could probably find gyms and pickup games in any state. But in Colorado, I get to invigorate that regimen with a steady supplement of fourteener climbs, overnights at 10th Mountain Division huts near Vail, and bike rides on Fort Collins’ 285-plus miles of dedicated lanes and trails. Best of all, I discovered that my neighbor—a 36-year-old engineer who makes his own work hours—is my downhill doppelganger. Together, we blitzkrieg Winter Park’s and Eldora’s blue-blacks during the week, when they’re delightfully deserted.

Now, a morbid new worry occasionally infects my consciousness: Will I live long enough to enjoy everything this great state offers? But then I remember that Colorado ranks eighth among U.S. states in life expectancy, at 80.2 years (thank you, low rates of obesity and cancer)—meaning I have at least an outside shot at becoming a Centennial State centenarian.

A guide to keeping your head, shoulders, knees, and toes—and everything in between—prepped and ready for the adventures ahead.

Anyone who’s ever swung open an old fence door understands that as things age, they start to squeak. In fact, a 2013 study published in the Journal of Aging Research showed that flexibility in the shoulders and hips decreased by about six degrees on average per decade between the ages of 55 and 86.

From mobility to positivity (as in, recharging your chakras), yoga does wonders for seniors.

If you want more focused attention, however, look into assisted stretching. At StretchLab, a national franchise that opened outposts in Cherry Creek, Cherry Hills, LoHi, and Parker this past year, flexologists lead clients through 25- or 50-minute one-on-one sessions of PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation).

According to local owner Dina Silverman, PNF’s combination of stretching and contracting muscles “helps increase mobility in seniors, enabling them to move better, easing everyday life tasks.”

Calcium can’t perform much bonebuilding (see “Happy Meals,” page 41) without vitamin D, which helps the kidneys process the mineral. But as skin grows older, it turns thinner, making it more difficult for your epidermis to absorb the sun’s ultraviolet B rays and transform them into vitamin D. Long story short: You need to load up on vitamin D supplements. Dietician Alexandra Georgiadis of Boulder’s Essential Nutrition advises her older clients to find out how much they need by getting vitamin work-ups, which are often included in routine blood tests.

It’s not our place to tell you how swole—or svelte—to get. But we did ask Robyn Phelps, a personal trainer and owner of Denver’s Senior Functional Fitness, to help us put together a baseline for where seniors need to be, strength-wise, to ensure they’re in good muscular health. She advised a daily regimen of body-weight squats (which work your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves), pushups (triceps, pecs, and shoulders), and rows with cables or dumbbells (upper and lower back). “My recommendation would be to start out doing 10 repetitions and gauge oneself based off the 10 reps,” Phelps says. “Ideally, you should be able to do at least 20 repetitions of each.”

Lungs » In 2018, Denver Parks and Recreation (DPR) introduced My Denver Prime, a program that grants Mile High City residents 60 and older free memberships to every city-run recreation center and pool. That means unfettered access to treadmills, bikes, and fitness classes. If you’re looking to get in on the latest cardio trend, however, you’re in for a pretty sweet dill—er, deal: Over the past few years, DPR has embraced pickleball, a tennis offshoot in which players use wooden paddles to smack around a Wiffle ball–like orb. “It’s the new craze for older adults,” says Laura Conway, senior recreation supervisor for DPR. There are designated drop-in times at 18 city rec centers as well as tournaments, which DPR fittingly dubs “blasts.”

fter 40-some years of work (and making small talk with co-workers), you could be excused for wanting to retreat from civilization and spend the rest of your days in a Howard Hughes–ian cocoon of seclusion. But social isolation doesn’t just lead to depression and poor health, says Deana Davalos, a cognitive neuroscience professor in the psychology department at Colorado State University; it also impairs brain function. That’s why, in 2015, Davalos and her colleagues at CSU started their own adaptation of the B Sharp Program, which gifts patients with dementia-related disorders and their primary caregivers tickets to a season of the Fort Collins Symphony’s Masterworks concerts. Yes, the researchers hoped the patients would enjoy the music, but they really wanted to understand how interacting with larger groups affected people.

“With dementia, we expect it to get worse,” Davalos says. “Stabilization is what we were really hoping for. We got changes in most patients—they not only stabilized, but they improved.” Hopefully, memory loss, increased confusion, and faltering concentration aren’t problems you’re dealing with at the moment. Nevertheless, Davalos says social interaction stimulates anyone’s mind and is integral to maintaining brain health as we age. At the same time, you don’t want to spend your days hanging out with folks you don’t like, so we put together this guide to finding your new BFFs.

COLORADAN IDOLS Hero worship might seem like a childhood affectation—one you discarded along with your Barbies and Beatles posters. But no matter your age, it’s always helpful to have role models who inspire you, which is where these three adventurous Centennial State seniors come in.

ROGER SAYRE: 61, RUNNER Why He’s IdolWorthy: Not only is the Golden resident America’s fastest 60to 64-year-old road runner, but he also won gold in the half marathon (and two other medals) at the 2019 World Masters Athletics Championships in Poland.

On Staying Fit As He Ages: “I focus on the aerobic part of it. The main theory right now is you have to do a lot of high-intensity intervals. I don’t. I just do an hour-plus of aerobic training—running easy for an hour—and mix in faster days occasionally.”

Words Of Wisdom: “It’s always good to have a goal. So think three months, six months, or even a year-plus in advance. What do you want to be doing? I’m one who likes to race, but it doesn’t have to be a race if you’re not competitive.

It could just be a fitness goal.”

WENDY SKEAN: 75, MOUNTAIN BIKER

Lee Sheftel climbs the Pumporama route (5.13a) in Rifle.

Why She’s Idol-Worthy: In 2016, Skean became the oldest woman ever to finish the Leadville Trail 100 MTB race.

On Why She Retired in Nathrop: “Moving to Colorado was a huge benefit. I did live in California at 4,000 feet of elevation, where I had some mountain roads to train on, but they were nothing like here. Colorado has just been a godsend for getting better.

There’s lots of variety of trails, lots of steep climbing—and I really like to climb.”

On Ageism In The Outdoors: “I don’t really see it. But sometimes when I ride by people, I get this look like, Oh, that’s an older person.”

»

Clockwise from top: Dave Albo: Lane 1 Photos, courtesy of Roger Sayre; Elizabeth Flournoy; Jeff Wolfe, courtesy of Wendy Skean

On Recovery: “New runners want to plan things out. But don’t be too rigid in your schedule. You’ve got to listen to your body. When you’re younger, you can just go 10, 12 miles a day and keep going.

As I get older, I have to take a couple of recovery days each week.”

Words Of Wisdom: “I was just at a restaurant and someone was saying, ‘I’m 50-something years old. It’s too late for me to start mountain biking.’ And I said, ‘No!’ I didn’t really get on a bike and begin riding until I was 45. It’s just getting out there and doing it as often as you can and going a little bit farther. Push yourself.

Believe in it and you can do it.”

LEE SHEFTEL: 73, ROCK CLIMBER Why He’s Idol-Worthy: The Carbondale accountant still regularly sends 5.12 routes, a very challenging sport climbing grade.

On Managing Expectations: “I have to lower my sights in terms of what I climb and

what I expect from myself, which is hard.

I’m used to climbing a certain level, and I see people come out and climb those routes and I realize I can’t do that anymore.

So, to stay motivated, I have to readjust my brain and my emotions. But I still love climbing—I love the movement, getting out, and it’s a big part of who I am.”

Words Of Wisdom: “What I say to older athletes is don’t limit yourself because of age. Just remember that you need to take care of your body—you have to stretch and warm up, and your technique will probably change—but that doesn’t mean you can’t get stronger and you can’t do certain things.

Never let age stop you. Just let age be a guide to how you approach something.”

WHO DECIDES?

Frequently asked questions about the Top Doctors selection process.

Why didn’t you choose my doctor?

» We don’t pick the docs—Denver

physicians do. For the past 26 years, 5280 has surveyed doctors and asked them, specialty by specialty, which metro-area physicians they would trust to treat themselves and their families. Our theory is that medical professionals are best qualified to judge other medical professionals. The ballot is posted on 5280.com from the end of January to mid-March each year. Every metro-area doctor with a valid Colorado medical license can fill it out. Once the doctor hits “save,” the votes are entered into our database and tallied.

So doesn’t that make it one big popularity contest?

» In many respects, yes. We hope that doctors give us careful, responsible answers, but there’s little we can do to stop them from recommending their skiing buddies. Using the list is a lot like going to your doctor and asking for a referral. The difference is we’re asking a lot more doctors than you’d ever have the chance to. Also, by working to raise our return rate each year (it was 17 percent this year), we hope to correct for politics. The more doctors who participate, the less chance that any one person’s aspirations will win out.

I thought my doc was a good physician, but she’s not on the list. What does that mean?

» Nothing. She probably is a good doctor. The selection of doctors by peer review can leave many excellent doctors off the list. Because longtime, well-known doctors have the advantage of name recognition, the list may favor that kind of doctor. However, that in no way means your doctor isn’t qualified and completely competent.

I’m a doctor, and I couldn’t access the online ballot. Why?

» We get the database of all licensed

physicians in the state from the Colorado Department of Regulatory

Agencies and select the doctors located in the seven metro-area counties (Denver, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Boulder, Adams, Douglas, and Jefferson), which results in a list of more than 11,200 docs.

» If you attempted to log on to the system and received a pop-up response that said, “Login failed, please check your name and license number,” that means there is a disconnect between your information and the information we have in the system. If you’ve recently moved to Colorado and haven’t updated your publicly available address with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, for example, your license will not register as local and therefore will be invalid in our system. If you have registered your license at an address outside the seven metro-area counties, you will not be in our database. If you have a hard-to-spell last name or if you’ve recently changed your name, it’s possible the information we have from the state is incorrect and you will have trouble logging in.

» In the future, if you have difficulty logging in to our system, please use the “comment” tool on the ballot site and let us know. We’re happy to work through the problem so you can vote.

I’ve heard the list is rigged—that only doctors who advertise with 5280 make it. Is that true?

» Nope. The Top Doctors list is completely unaffected by which doctors advertise in the magazine.

Doctors sometimes choose to advertise after they’ve been chosen for the list, but how much or if and when doctors choose to advertise are not taken into consideration. Period.

How does 5280 choose the medical specialties on the list?

» Through the years we’ve worked to improve Top Doctors by updating the categories, increasing the number of eligible voters, and considering

suggestions from health care professionals. For the better part of two decades, our categories have included only specialties approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties (although we do not include every ABMS specialty). This system for choosing categories eases confusion among doctors filling out the survey and reduces the amount of lobbying we get from doctors and hospitals that would like us to include more obscure specialties.

So why aren’t categories such as chiropractic and podiatry ever included in the list?

» Although these areas of medicine are completely relevant, respectable, and necessary, our list is a physicianonly (M.D.s and D.O.s) directory.

Does 5280 check out all the doctors on the list?

» The magazine’s research department independently verifies every doctor’s name, phone number, office address, and hospital affiliations. We also take the additional step of sending our list to the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies for approval— meaning doctors on our list do not currently have disciplinary actions against their licenses and have not experienced a malpractice suit and/or settlement in at least five years.

The magazine sometimes chooses doctors to be profiled or to serve as sources for the accompanying story. How are they chosen?

» 5280 sometimes likes to introduce you to some of our Top Docs through profiles or by using them to explain different aspects of medicine. We believe this is a great way to show our readers that these physicians are not just names on a list. In choosing doctors to include, we do our best to vary the medical specialties represented and introduce you to doctors we have never included before. Of course, sometimes our stories involve doctors who are not on the list as well.

Keep your mouth happy with 5280’s comprehensive list of the 890 best dentists in Denver and beyond.

5280.com | 57

HOW WE COME UP WITH THE TOP DENTISTS LIST. his list is pulled from the 2019 topDentists database, which is created using peer evaluations and includes listings for more than 900 dentists and specialists in Colorado. To create its list, topDentists asked dentists and specialists a personal question: “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer him or her to?” The nomination pool comprised all active dentists listed online with the American Dental Association as well as with dental academies and societies. (Dentists could also nominate others who may not be on those lists.) Respondents were asked to consider experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies, and physical results. After the responses were compiled, dentists were checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have active licenses and are in good standing. We realize there are many fine dentists who are not on this list; a dentist’s inclusion is based on the subjective judgments of fellow dentists. For more information, visit usatopdentists.com.

D.D.S. from Marquette University, Magna Cum Laude; Orthodontic Specialty Degree Marquette University; Member: American Association of Orthodontists For over 20 years we have been creating incredible smiles. We are experts at combining state-ofthe-art technologies so our patients can have the amazing smiles they desire and treatment options that fit their lifestyle. We are proud to use the latest orthodontic advances to make sure our patients have the best treatment available.

“I love what I do and enjoy lecturing around the world to other orthodontic specialists,” says Dr. Rudman. “I have also invented some of the technologies utilized in orthodontics today and enjoy the unique insight I gain from consulting with leading orthodontic manufacturers.”

We were the first office in Denver to treat patients with Acceledent, a scientifically proven technology to shorten treatment by 30 to 40 percent. We are also an Invisalign Elite Provider, a status that is reserved for only the most experienced orthodontists, and we utilize the i-Tero Scanning System for our Invisalign patients, which makes impressions a thing of the past. So whether you’re 8 or 80 years old, want colorful braces or invisible braces, Invisalign or self-ligating treatment, our staff with over 150 years of experience will ensure your smile opens doors.

We will help you understand insurance and offer affordable payment plans.

We are proud of our patients and, in fact, our website features some of our patients and their incredible smiles.

Our philosophy, “We are here to make you smile,” goes far beyond treating your teeth. It’s about feeling great about your experience with us.

Let us help you discover your smile.

Training Day

Boutique fitness studios from Hollywood to New York City are finally cashing in on Denver’s surplus of active, smoothie-drinking, yoga-pantclad residents. So where should you go to sweat in 2020? Follow the prompts below to find out. —DALIAH SINGER DO

Is it even possible to exercise without Lizzo blasting in your ears?

Save those for the club.

BEATS FIRE YOU UP? WHAT ABOUT CATCHING A MOVIE WHILE YOU SWEAT?

30 minutes—in and out.

RISENATION Standing mostly upright with your face thisclose to a VersaClimber (a vertical climbing machine) while moving your arms and legs together—and to the music—is a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) buttkicking. But give the West Highland, Cherry Creek, or DTC location a try; a half hour here is worth an hour on an elliptical (and it’s way more fun). risenationco.com HQ: Los Angeles Class Time: 30 minutes Calories Burned: 600–800 Cost: $28 to drop in

I don’t put a time limit on getting ripped.

DO YOU WANT TO WORK OUT WITH OTHER PEOPLE?

I vibe off group energy, but I’m not there to make friends.

Howdy, partner!

READY TO RUN?

I’m a Washington Park regular.

TOUGH MUDDER BOOTCAMP “Functional training” is the buzzword during the various workouts offered by this orange-AstroTurfed gym in City Park affiliated with Tough Mudder’s outdoor obstacle course races. You’ll always be partnered up—because that’s how you conquer mammoth nets and seesawing platforms. tmbootcamp.com HQ: New York City Class Time: 45 minutes Calories Burned: 500 (average HIIT class) Cost: $20 to drop in (first class free)

Nah. I’m more inspired by positive affirmations.

SHRED415 This family-friendly Midwest transplant—with three locations around Denver and one in Boulder—offers childcare so you can focus on surviving four 15-minute intervals (415, get it?) split between awesome, not-at-all-shaky Woodway treadmills and strength-based plyometric resistance training. shred415.com HQ: Chicago Class Time: 1 hour Calories Burned: 600–1,000 Cost: $28 to drop in (first class free)

I’m at a studio so I don’t have to run.

SOULCYCLE The SoulCycle (pictured) cult is real. The spin giant with 98 locations across the country (and the pond, in London) even bills itself thusly: “SoulCycle is way more than a workout, it’s a sanctuary.” Yes, bumping beats permeate the candlelit Cherry Creek studio, but your instructor’s meditations on being your best self are where the real change happens. soul-cycle.com HQ: New York City Class Time: 45 minutes Calories Burned: 500–700 Cost: $28 to drop in ($20 for first-timers)

HEARD! PICK YOUR EQUIPMENT OF CHOICE:

Rowing machine.

Seeing Thor with his shirt off is super motivating….

CHUZE FITNESS Leave your headphones at home. At this big-box gym’s cinema setups— available in all seven of Chuze’s Colorado locations—you can run or bike to a rotating selection of flicks. Because there’s nothing weird about watching a movie while people pant heavily next to you. chuzefitness.com HQ: San Diego Class Time: Your choice Calories Burned: Up to you Cost: Gym memberships start at $10 per month (free one- and seven-day trials)

Weights…TRX…the usual.

ROW HOUSE Row, row, row until you need a break—and then work some more via dumbbells or floor exercises. Every one of the six class options, including the slowed-down Restore version, at Row House’s five gyms in the Denver metro area is guaranteed to be a low-impact, full-body workout. therowhouse.com HQ: Irvine, California Class Time: 45 minutes Calories Burned: 800 Cost: $29 to drop in (first class free)

F45 If you can get past their ridiculous names—Abacus, Miami Nights, Moon Hopper—you’ll find that F45’s HIIT, resistance, and hybrid classes literally take your breath away.

Thankfully, every move is shown on big screens at the front of the studio (of which there are 10 in Colorado), so you don’t have to try to gasp out questions to the instructors. f45training.com HQ: Sydney Class Time: 45–60 minutes Calories Burned: Up to 750 Cost: $28–$30 to drop in (first week free)
