Memphis Author & Personal Trainer, John T. Prather, Pens Thrilling New Post-Apocalyptic Novel Personal trainer John T. Prather, accustomed to leading clients toward better health and fitness, now leads readers in a more spellbinding, apocalyptic journey. Prather, a native Memphian and former deadlift champion, has infused the same adrenaline from his workout into his first novel, “The Nephilim Virus.” Its hair-raising plot features an ancient virus threatening the extinction of the human race.

A graduate of the University of Memphis, Prather grew up in the River City with seven siblings. As an adult, he focused on weight training and bodybuilding, while becoming a model, actor, and personal trainer. Prior to being bitten by both the acting and writing bugs, he competed in deadlift competitions, winning his weight-class and best overall in all three competitions. He set a Tennessee state record at 660 pounds. In 2010 he moved to Los Angeles, where he was a personal trainer and pursued his lifelong ambition to write.

There, his modeling career took off. He was featured in People, GQ, Men’s Health, and regularly in Muscle and Fitness. He also landed a sponsorship as athlete/model for MuscleTech.

L.A. is also where he met his wife, Mindi.

In his first novel, Prather weaves history, science, and the Bible to create a post-apocalyptic tale both plausible and exciting. The story describes how an ancient virus from biblical times changes

6

people’s blood, turning them into either intelligent super-humans or indestructible animalistic creatures. The virus is traced through history, all the way back to where a Nephilim race is mentioned in Genesis 6 of the Old Testament.

All sorts of philosophies and conspiracy theories exist regarding this secretive clan mentioned in scripture. “The Nephilim Virus” finally answers questions our vampire myths and zombie stories have tried to answer for centuries.

One of his first endorsements came from fellow actor Megan Fox: “This book would make a great movie! It’s a cohesive, fun ride through some of my most beloved topics —science, the supernatural, and the apocalypse.”

“I’ve been fascinated with these biblical beings since I was young,” says Prather. “Books have been written about the Nephilim, and there are lots of theories about them, but it’s interesting to me how little we actually know about them. As a novelist, it was fun to be able to use my imagination to fill in some of the blanks and create a story about this obscure race. I really enjoyed reading and researching what we do know about them and then tracing them through history, weaving them into a present-day story.”

“The Nephilim Virus” is published by Deep River Books. Prather is currently working on his second book.

New iLoveKickboxing Owner Changing Lives In Bartlett Owner of iLoveKickboxing’s 2017 Franchise of the Year Revamps Local Studio iLoveKickboxing Bartlett, part of the iLoveKickboxing.com family encompassing the growing fitness kickboxing franchise with 200+ locations worldwide, has a new owner. As of August 2017, lady boss Heather Williams took over ownership of the local fitness kickboxing studio in Bartlett, bringing jobs, healthy lifestyle initiatives, passion, and wellness motivation to the local community.

Heather Williams opened her first studio in Nashville, Tenn. in 2015. With a background in personal finance, when the opportunity came to purchase a franchise, Williams resolved to do something that made a difference in people’s lives. Williams and her team have created a tight-knit community of men and women seeking a healthier lifestyle and currently serve over 1,000 members. Williams has also received national recognition by the franchise. iLoveKickboxing Nashville won Rookie of the Year (2015) and recently Franchise of the Year (2017). Williams and her general manager also took home the Leadership award in 2016 and 2017. Inspired by this success, Williams jumped at the chance to revitalize the program in Bartlett.

An iLoveKickboxing class includes a 15-minute warmup using bodyweight exercises to tone muscles and burn fat. Then, a short stretching sequence to increase flexibility prevents injury and relieves stress. During the bag rounds, members work for three minutes at a time for six rounds. Class finishes off with partner drills to practice speed and agility with a smaller target and a quick conditioning exercise to get the heart rate up before the final cool down. Class is one hour long and participants burn 400-800 calories per class on average.

A SK THE EXPER TS By the Medical team at UT Addiction Medicine

The Opioid Epidemic Alternative Therapies Prescribed by Physicians The misuse of opioids costs the U.S. approximately $78.5 billion per year. This number includes the costs of healthcare, lost workplace productivity, and addiction treatment. The CDC finds that about one in four people prescribed opioids as part of their long-term medical care struggle with addiction. It is important to the U.S. economy and its overall public health to help reduce this opioid abuse and provide services for Americans currently struggling with addiction.

An increase in available information surrounding the negative impact of opioids has encouraged physicians to turn to some alternative, nonaddictive treatment options for pain control.

Some of these options include: • OVER-THE-COUNTER ACETAMINOPHEN AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS: While there are still risks with these types of medications such as ulcers, organ toxicity, and kidney and liver failure, they have shown to be less addicting.

• PHYSICAL THERAPY: While it may sound less enjoyable, physical therapy can help patients gain strength and learn to alter movements to more safely prevent worsening pain and/or additional injuries in the future.

There is a major health crisis sweeping the United States: an opioid epidemic so out of control that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 142 people are losing their lives to drug overdose every day. In addition, the CDC found that approximately 80% of people using illegal opioids, like heroin, first misused prescription opioids they were given as part of a medical treatment plan.

The crisis is so severe that President Donald Trump declared it to be a public health emergency, giving officials more leniency to modify certain insurance requirements as well as the ability to enhance certain patient safety and privacy regulations. These regulation changes also allow states to have easier access to federal public health funds with the goal of enacting new programs and initiatives geared toward making a positive impact on the opioid crisis.

While the government is working at both the federal and state level to educate the medical community and provide guidelines around the legal distribution of these drugs, it is vital patients are informed of the risks and benefits associated with opioid use before requesting or filling these prescriptions.

10

Opioids can be used to safely to manage certain injuries and/or chronic pain, but when used improperly, they can also have a long-lasting negative impact: • ADDICTIVE TENDENCIES: Opioids impact the brain’s natural pleasure-reward center and can give a false sense of euphoria, generating a desire to use the opioid outside of the manner in which it was prescribed.

• SEDATION OR SLEEPINESS: Opioid use causes some patients to have trouble remaining alert, leading to an increased risk of a fall or other accident.

• RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION: Improper use of opioids can cause a patient’s breathing to slow, resulting in potential organ injury or death.

• PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT: Opioids can cause vomiting, nausea, and constipation which in severe cases can result in permanent injury and/or death.

• MASSAGE, ACUPUNCTURE, AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE: These are safe alternatives performed by licensed professionals that are non-addictive and free of side effects.

• EXERCISE: Some physicians and physical therapists may help patients design low-impact exercise routines geared toward increasing mobility and functionality to improve overall quality of life.

Every patient’s needs are different, and any and all treatment options should be discussed with a doctor or other healthcare professional.

However, as we continue to gain information about the dangers of opioid use, it is important for patients to feel comfortable discussing their treatment options and to understand the potential risks and side effects.

If you or someone you know may be struggling, or if you have questions or concerns, call 901.866.8630 or vist universityclinicalhealth.com.

Taming Winter’s Worst Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) “Winter is coming!” is a well-known phrase for fans of “Game of Thrones.”

In the HBO series, the harsh and intense winter inevitably brings White Walkers, demon-like creatures who aim to destroy mankind. We, too, understand dreading winter because it usually means spending lots of money and/or time with cantankerous in-laws.

Some of us, however, dread winter for completely different reasons.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD),

commonly referred to as the winter blues or seasonal depression, affects many people this time of year.

SAD is not necessarily the sadness that can come during the holidays from missing loved ones or from getting pummeled with questions like, “When are you getting married?” or “When are you having children?” from your relatives.

According to the Mayo Clinic, SAD is a type of depression related to change in seasons which occurs about the same time every year. A physician will be able to diagnose SAD. While the specific causes for SAD are unknown, Winter’s shorter days, longer nights, and colder weather contribute to the disorder. A common theory is that a lack of sunlight decreases serotonin levels, which regulate mood. SAD can manifest as general lethargy, feelings of worthlessness, insatiable cravings for sugar and carbs, and extreme irritability. There’s a tendency to isolate oneself and, in serious cases, suicidal thoughts can occur.

Treatments for SAD include the following: • Consuming a Healthy Diet • Spending More Time Outdoors • Limiting Alcohol and Caffeine • Socializing • Increasing Sunlight Exposure • Using a Sun Lamp • Supplementing with Vitamin D

Chaos to Calm Beat holiday stress with these 5 tips A Little Exercise is Better Than None The idea of investing 30+ minutes at the gym can be daunting piled on top of work, family, and holiday travel. Aim for just 15 minutes instead—but make it good. One shorter session of high-intensity interval training can be just as beneficial as a longer session at the gym. Squeeze it into your morning routine to keep you energized throughout the day.

Eat Mindfully After Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the treats in between, it’s no surprise many of us feel a bit fluffy and bloated by the time it hits New Years. Practicing mindfulness when eating and drinking is a great place

to start developing healthy eating habits. Allow yourself to enjoy your favorite foods, in moderation, without judgment or shame.

Sleep More This is some of the best medicine around. Consistent quality sleep bolsters the immune system, enhances mood, leads to more energy, and helps manage stress to improve overall well-being. To get better sleep, avoid screens 1-2 hours before bed, avoid eating and consuming alcohol later in the evenings, and manage noise with a sound machine or earplugs.

Soothe Yourself While decorating, holiday cooking, and family time can be fun, for

some it means irritability, anger, fatigue, and stress. Besides exercise, other techniques to manage these emotions are meditation, yoga, prayer, or listening to music. Identify something to safely manage your stressors and incorporate it into your daily routine.

Honor Relationships The holidays bring people together, but it can also be a painful reminder of what we’ve lost—family members, friends, even pets.

Consider implementing a small ritual into your routine to honor who you are grieving. Doing this can help stave off feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger and can help maintain healthy support and camaraderie in your life.

A SK THE EXPER TS

By Michael Burnham

Be Here Now Mindfulness for better self-care and discovering a deeper sense of self Mindfulness is not something you have to “get” or acquire. It is already within you—a deep internal resource available and waiting to be reawakened and used in the service of learning, growing, and healing.

Mindfulness is a basic human quality, a way of learning to pay wise attention to whatever is happening in your life. Mindfulness is a meditation practice, a systematic method aimed at cultivating clarity, insight, and understanding. Mindfulness helps you experientially learn how to take better care of yourself by exploring and understanding the interplay of mind and body. It mobilizes your own inner resources of coping, growing, and healing.

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is about being as fully aware as one can be on purpose of whatever is happening in the present moment, without filters or the lens of judgment. Put simply, mindfulness consists of cultivating awareness of the mind and body and living in the here and now.

All of us spend most of the time rehashing the past, reliving memories, or rehearsing the future, making plans and going over them again and again but not paying attention to the only moment we have—the now. Often we get so involved in the past or the future that we totally miss the present, the moment where our lives actually occur.

Has the following happened to you?

• Taken a shower so lost in thought that you did not feel the water?

• Driven somewhere on automatic pilot so lost in thought that you are not sure of what streets or how many red lights?

• Eaten something while reading the paper or doing work, not really recalling the taste of the food?

16

By learning to appreciate the present, rather than constantly focusing on the past, the future, or frustrating fantasies of how things “should” be, you can begin to experience a greater sense of peace with your current circumstances, even when those circumstances are less than optimal.

Why is Mindfulness Helpful? ore Insight into Life By taking a M mindful perspective, mindfulness practitioners observe life’s experiences but are not caught up in them. Practitioners have the ability to find more clarity about what is happening in their minds and in their lives. nhanced Problem Solving E Meditators can slow down and investigate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The process of mindfulness enables responding to difficult situations rather than habitually reacting to them.

Improved Attention Mindfulness improves the ability to focus and pay attention. It improves concentration. Because practitioners are less distracted, they are able to accomplish tasks and reach goals. reater Enjoyment of Life G Mindfulness helps people to become more aware of pleasant experiences previously unnoticed.

By slowing down and being more in the present moment, you can enjoy more of life’s gifts.

Less Negativity With greater equanimity, mindfulness practitioners break away from negative thinking patterns many people have. Meditators are able to treat themselves with a greater sense of kindness and self-care.

Does Mindfulness Work?

Getting Started

Scientific research has shown that mindfulness helps with the following conditions:

Many people find the best way to start or enhance a mindfulness practice is to enroll in a course. A course provides instruction, structure, and support.

Stress – pressures related to work, school, family, finances, illness, aging, grief, uncertainty about the future, and just feeling “out of control.”

Medical Conditions – including chronic illness or pain, high blood pressure, cancer, heart disease, asthma, GI distress, skin disorders, and many other conditions.

Psychological Distress – including anxiety, panic, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.

Prevention and Wellness – learning the “how” of taking good care of yourself and feeling a greater sense of balance.

For self-study, there are hundreds of apps that focus on mindfulness and meditation. Some of the most popular ones are Insight Timer, 10% Happier, and Headspace.

Michael Burnham has practiced mindful meditation for 40 years. He received training from the University of Massachusetts Medical School Center for Mindfulness and was credentialed to teach MindfulnessBased Stress Reduction (MBSR) in 2015. MBSR is the most widely researched mind-body medicine in the world. Currently over 70 articles appear monthly in professional journals presenting the results of studies based on MBSR.

Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare Wellness program offers free mindfulness-based stress reduction classes. Classes are open to all Methodist network associates, their adult family members, and any adult who is a current or prior patient of a system hospital, clinic, or physician group. Courses begin in January. For more information, visit Mindfulatmethodist.org or call Michael Burnham at 901.763.0416.

What is the Behavioral Health Safety Net?

By Jennifer L. Foster, RN, Attorney-at-Law

Did you know that in Tennessee we have a system in place to help uninsured and indigent people who suffer from mental illness? It is known as the Behavioral Health Safety Net of Tennessee (BHSN of TN). Many times mentally ill, uninsured and indigent people will qualify for this benefit when they don’t qualify for regular TennCare.

If you are 19 years of age or older, have a serious mental illness, and have no behavioral health insurance, you may qualify for the BHSN. Services provided by this program include assessment, evaluation, diagnostic, therapeutic intervention, case management, peer support services, psychosocial rehabilitation services, psychiatric medication management, labs related to medication management and pharmacy assistance, and coordination.

In order to qualify for the Behavioral Safety Net Program, you must have • a qualifying mental health diagnosis • a household income at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level and are • a Tennessee resident, 19 or older • a U.S. Citizen or qualified alien • not currently in an inpatient facility or nursing home • not an inmate or incarcerated • i neligible for VA benefits, TennCare, or have filled out a TennCare application

LifeCare Family Services 1407 Union Avenue, Suite 100 Memphis, TN 38104 901-800-4645

As of September 2013, individuals who have Medicare Part B and meet all other eligibility requirements for the BHSN program may be enrolled. Anyone who receives BHSN services and is 65 or older will be treated as having Medicare Part B.

Professional Care Services of West Tennessee 1997 Hwy 51 South Covington, TN 38019 901-476-8967

These two groups are eligible for 4 services: Case Management, Medication Training and Support, Peer Support, and Psychological Rehabilitation Services.

If any individual is enrolled in Medicare Part B and has chosen a Medicare Advantage Plan, they may enroll in the BSHN program if they meet all other eligibility requirements, as long as their Advantage Plan doesn’t cover the 4 approved services above or benefits of the plan have been exhausted for the year.

To apply for the BHSN, you need to contact one of the following Community Mental Health Agencies:

Powerful Running 5 Ways to Improve Strength and Form to Reach Your Next PR When you watch a powerful runner, it is the perfect combination of grace and strength. It seems some people are just born with the ability to run with ease.

The truth is they work hard for it and overcome many obstacles along the way.

Pain or injury is the most common obstacle, with over 70% of runners experiencing injury in any given year. The high rate for this sport comes from a combination of overuse, poor form, weakness, and lack of proper training prior to starting a program.

Are you ready for your days of slow or painful running to be over? What has to happen to transform you into a powerful runner, even if injury has gotten in your way? Here are five tips to get you started:

1. Strength Training It’s a myth that strength training will make you bulky or slow you down as an endurance athlete. It actually improves speed and reduces injury. The most common weakness found in runners is in the gluteal muscles. The result is poor form, overusing back muscles, and subsequent knee pain. Runningspecific strength-training exercises for the glutes are proven to help you reach your next PR.

2. Incorporate Plyometrics Running places up to five times your body weight of force on every step.

This can quickly breakdown joints and tendons. Although proper footwear is important, shock absorption is almost more than your shoes. Plyometric exercises can actually better prepare the body to take on these forces without injury.

3. Optimize Stride Length Many runners land with their foot too far in front of their body (called overstriding). This creates increased pressure at the low back, hips, knees, and ankles. You can add power and efficiency to your stride with practice.

Think about landing softer and trying to increase your cadence to bring your landing contact closer to the center of your body.

4. Control the Knees Efficient running involves the coordination of the lower body joints to produce optimal power. Landing with the knee forward of the toes or collapsing inward disrupts this necessary balance. Ideally, the knee should face forward and remain slightly behind the toes. This coordinated movement stores energy for running propulsion. Even a minor misalignment impacts performance.

5. Evaluate Form The best way to improve running form, decrease pain, and optimize efficiency is to be evaluated by a specialist. Specific movement errors can be pinpointed throughout the various phases of the running cycle.

Additionally, muscle imbalances can be addressed and a specific program can be established to reach your goals without requiring time off from training.

Running really is a complex movement that requires a great deal of strength and control. No matter where you start from you can become a more powerful runner. These strategies have proven to work for athletes at Peak Potential.

Physical therapists are experts at improving and restoring movement in people’s lives. They help runners improve performance, speed recovery, and keep running when pain arises.

FIT PROFILE

Finishing the Triathlon Her Late Husband Started Becky Elkins takes on 2017 Ironman Chattanooga John began experiencing unusual symptoms during training. “As athletes, we stay in tune with our bodies and assume all setbacks are minor injuries,” Becky says. Going back over video from one of his finish lines, John realized how much his gait was off. John and Becky consulted with doctors, but it wasn’t until July 2016 he was finally diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. With the diagnosis, training fell to the wayside, and Becky focused on taking care of her husband.

John urged her to run and bike, but to Becky, nothing was more important than spending time her husband and their daughter, Kayleigh. Still, John encouraged her to complete the 2017 Ironman Chattanooga and even registered her for the race. John passed away on Dec. 15, 2016.

Finishing His Journey After John’s death, Becky’s racing team was there for her. She got a coach to help her reach her and John’s goal of completing Ironman Chattanooga. “I had terrible workouts, and I had great ones,” says Becky, “I kept telling myself that nothing, even an Ironman, would be as hard as battling ALS.” Becky, now 42, trained for nine months. Some days she bawled on bike rides, and other times she thought it was more than she could handle, but she never gave up. “I would always tell myself, ‘John didn’t have a choice, I do; don’t quit.’ I always gave 110%.”

John and Becky Elkins started in the same place as overweight smokers, but in 2010, the couple took the first step toward regaining their health. They started a biggest loser challenge with several friends. While the others eventually bowed out, Becky stayed committed. She was going to an MMA gym six days a week and eventually moved over to Urban Fitness Kickboxing. After seeing her finish her first 5K, John decided to jump back into exercising. He started attending classes with her and also ran his first 5K. Road races led to biking and then swimming. Before long, he was a triathlete.

The couple was always training together, and John encouraged his wife to do a triathlon with him. They bought used road bikes and completed the 2012 Memphis in May Sprint Triathlon. After several more races, they upgraded their bikes and did 2013 Ironman 70.3 Augusta. Following that, John was ready to take on a full Ironman race and registered for the inaugural Ironman Chattanooga in 2014.

24

Not long before the before the race, Becky learned of a Kona athlete, John Blais, who competed with ALS. Participants could apply to wear his bib number, 179. Sharing her and John’s story, Becky was offered the honor of wearing John Blais’s number in her upcoming race.

On Sept. 24, 2017, Becky stood at the starting line wearing No. 179 in honor of great athletes brought down by ALS. Becky kept part of her husband’s ashes with her while she completed the race. During the bike ride, along John’s favorite stretch of the route, Becky dispersed John’s ashes and let part of her husband go as she finished the journey they started three years prior.

Becky remains involved with the ALS Association, and her racing team continues to wear “#4JE” on its kits. To get involved with the ALS foundation, or to learn more, visit alsa.org.

Cathy M. Chapman M.D.

Attending to the Health of Your Joints: In order to be in optimal shape for both exercise and fitness, it’s helpful to have healthy joints. We at Rheumatology and Dermatology Associates, a two-physician practice at 8143 Walnut Grove Road, in Cordova, TN, dedicated to just that: helping people maintain healthy skin and healthy joints to promote an active lifestyle.

Rheumatology is the study of conditions of the connective tissues of the body – focusing particularly upon the joints – but also covering the tendons and ligaments. It’s essential for such tissues of the body to remain healthy for people to be able to exercise freely – which also benefits many other organs within the body, including the heart, the lungs, even the brain – to help you sleep better. The Tennessee Department of Health (BRSS Fact Sheet) tells us that 67 million Americans are expected to suffer from arthritis (inflammation in the joints) by 2030. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the United States. And there are over 300 types of arthritis, the most common types being osteoarthritis (seen with aging and wear and tear on the joints), rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and gout.

The good news is that effective, early diagnosis and management can often avoid permanent damage to the joints.

Cathy Chapman M.D. is a board-certified Rheumatologist with 26 years of experience. She is originally from Syracuse, New York, having graduated college with a BS in Biochemistry from the State University of New York, in Binghamton, then having attended medical school at the University of Chicago. Dr. Chapman then completed a three-year internal medicine residency, at Michael Reese Medical Center, in Chicago, Illinois, and then a two-year fellowship in rheumatology, at Strong Memorial Hospital, in Rochester, New York. She is experienced in the evaluation and treatment of connective tissue conditions.

Dr. Chapman uses the patient history and physical exam, as well as lab tests including bloodwork, X-rays, and joint ultrasound to determine which of these type of arthritis may be affecting your ability to exercise and function. She has been a fellow (member) of the American College of Rheumatology since 1993. She is also an active supporter of the Arthritis Foundation, which promotes arthritis research.

November 12, 2016, Dr. Cathy Chapman joined Dr. George Woodbury at the Jingle Bell Run®, in Overton Park, Memphis,TN, to help to promote funding for arthritis research through the Arthritis Foundation.

Dr. Cathy Chapman and Dr. George Woodbury Jr. frequently participate in the yearly fun-raiser runs of the Arthritis Foundation. Here they joined over 300 runners and walkers in Audubon Park, Memphis TN, on November 12th 2016, for the Jingle Bell Run®

In 2017, Dr. Chapman has a growing number of effective therapies for many types of arthritis, which are given as pills, as injections, and as intravenous therapies.

So welcome to Rheumatology and Dermatology PC, as we enter our 25th year in Memphis. We look forward to working with you and your family members.

• Diagnosis and management of conditions of the joints as well as the skin, hair, and nails • Medical evaluation of and testing of lupus, scleroderma, and dermatomyositis • Joint ultrasound • Management of acne, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis • Allergy patch testing • Surgical treatments of skin conditions such as skin cancers, atypical moles, and cysts • Keeping athletic people able to function to their full capacity 26

SPIN QUEEN Meet A.D. Davis who’s all about the spin. She spins tracks at some of Memphis’s coolest late-night spots and is up the next morning teaching spin classes at Germantown Athletic Club or NBS Fitness.

This 37-year-old personal trainer has got the moves and the music.

I stay fit by teaching boot camp and spin classes and lifting three days a week.

My philosophy on training is … I don’t use the word skinny. I train people to be strong and happy.

My favorite tunes are house music and stuff from the 80s.

I am always asked how I tackle the nightlife and early mornings. I plan my gigs very carefully and give myself one day off completely from everything on the weekend. I have instilled that fitness will always be first!

Fitness is more than vanity for me … It’s my “ME” time, my therapy, my stress relief, and my social scene.

I hate running and I don’t run. But I love passing avid runners in my occasional 5Ks. It’s a testament to why cross-training really works!

I was an overweight kid … I hit 190 pounds in middle school at 5-foot-2. When I started college I really dialed into my health and made it on the Olympic lifting team. I eat very high protein and no sugar. I drink nothing but water with an occasional cocktail.

“No one should love you more than you love yourself.”

I am guilty of trying a quick-fix diet. I did the “no carb” diet. What was I thinking! I didn’t feel good and I lost muscle. It’s definitely not a lifestyle.

I’m inspired by my mother, my grandmother, and all the mothers and grandmothers I train and watch push themselves daily.

I can’t live without … My Lululemon tights. I can’t go with any other brand. They are my power pants.

You have to make the time to schedule your fitness regimen … Nobody is going to do it for you.

My nutrition tip: Sugar is the devil.

On days I’m not “feeling it” I think about the willing and unable—those who wish they could be physically mobile and are willing to work hard but just aren’t able.

When I am not working out I love to …

Play music and make people dance.

Mayhem to Magic: Mindful Holiday Eating

Tips to navigate food at your holiday party Holiday cooking is a family tradition in my home—from melt-inyour-mouth shortbread cookies to our special cranberry sauce.

The only thing I enjoy more than cooking and during the holidays is savoring these traditions with friends and family.

Many memories are formed around food throughout life, particularly during the holidays. However, the media is decorated with headlines like, “Diet Tips to Survive the Holidays” or “The Holiday Foods Naughty List.” Nothing sucks the joy out of eating festive foods like being told to scrutinize each bite during the holidays.

By Blair Mize, MS, RDN, CSSD, LDN

FIT TIP: The average holiday dinner racks up 3,000 calories.

Get your exercise in early and take a walk later in the day.

If you’re in a frenzy about what foods have the most calories or which diet you’re planning for January, it’s time to consider a different approach to holiday eating. If all you want for Christmas is peace with food, here are five mindful tips to get you started:

Gift yourself with permission Rather than depriving yourself, choose your favorite foods and take time to savor them. Be selective and say “yes” to items you’ll truly enjoy. If that cute Christmas cookie doesn’t taste nearly as good as it looked, don’t be afraid to toss the rest.

Party with a Plate.

Serving yourself a plate and moving away from the buffet (rather than mindlessly nibbling next to the table) provides a visual of the amount you’re eating and aids in recognizing hunger and fullness. Plating the food provides a clearer beginning and ending to meals.

Avoid too many holiday “Cheers!”

It’s easy to get distracted socializing at parties and lose track of how much you’ve had to eat or drink. Alcohol is high in calories and can lead to dehydration. Throwing back too many decreases your ability to notice hunger and fullness, often leading to overeating. Rather than avoiding cocktails altogether, sip them slowly, spacing each one with a glass of water. Prevent too much merriment by keeping moderation in mind: 1 drink per day for women, 2 drinks per day for men.

Be Present Stay in the moment as you eat, periodically taking time to pause and check in: Are you still hungry, comfortably satisfied, or stuffed?

Use this time to make sure the food still tastes good and meets your expectations to prevent eating more than your body needs.

Ignore your inner Scrooge Say “Bah! Humbug!” to the feelings of guilt and judging food as “good” or “bad,” which ruins the fun of eating. Work on changing your self-talk to a curious and compassionate tone rather than a critical one. And definitely don’t let diet talk detract from gatherings with family and friends.

Time is especially precious during the holiday season. Emotions and stress can run high as pressure mounts to perfectly uphold traditions, check everything off the to-do list, and make the holidays memorable for our families. Incorporating mindfulness can lead to a calm, clear, and confident mindset with food that moves holiday eating from mayhem to magical.

Are You A Runner Frustrated

by Knee Pain? Don’t Let It Stop Your Training or Keep You From Reaching Your Next PR! - Report By Leading USA Knee Pain Expert, Trevor Ling

COLLIER VILLE (TN) - THIS REPORT is for the person who is suffering from the stress of daily, annoying, knee pain.

The type of “ache” and/or even “sharp pain” where you get so mad or even physically nauseated that you feel your only option is to stop what you’re doing completely, reach for the pain medication and wonder how long you’ll be told to rest up for this time!

The thing is, all of those pain medications are not good for your stomach - and the long periods of rest you’ve been told about, is not likely to be doing you much good either.

Over the last 10+ years I’ve been working on a daily basis to help people aged 35+ find relief from chronic knee pain - and what I can tell you is that the cocktail mix of more rest and more painkillers or even “a quick injection” will do absolutely nothing to get to the root cause of knee pain... No matter what most Medical Professionals say!

And it’s because I’m growing increasingly frustrated with the number of people suffering unnecessarily that I’ve written an 10 page report that details the 8 things any person can do to relieve knee pain naturally... And I want to send you this report completely at no charge.

Now, I don’t know if these 8 things will relieve you of your knee pain completely.

And I can’t promise that what has worked for most of my patients and clients over the past 10+ years, will work for you too.

However reading my free report is definitely better than spending another day “resting”, “accepting it”, thinking “it’s your age” or worse yet, masking it with pain medications.

If your recurring knee pain is affecting your job, your ability to keep active, threatens your independence, or hinders your family leisure time...

Then you really need to read this free report.

Knee Pain “Truths” Finally Exposed

This report exposes how pain medications and injections might be

cheaper (for your insurance!) and easy for a Doctor to prescribe, but may not necessarily be right for you in the long run... Have you seen the list of crippling side effects these days?

This 100% FREE report, titled: “7 Running Tips To Overcome Knee Pain, Without Having To Take Time Off” (Value $28!) reveals the leading cause of knee pain that is overlooked by 95% of Doctors (hint: there’s a chance you do it everyday without realizing!), and even shows how you can get to the bottom of knee pain quickly, naturally, for FREE, and without needing a referral from a Doctor!...

More: The report also exposes what most Doctors fail to recommend people aged 35+ when treating knee pain, and reveals for the first time to the residents of Collierville simple, yet often overlooked routines that help make knee pain go away fast... as well as improving posture, all at the same time - I’d say they’re perfect if you’re a lady aged 35+ and worried about looking “awkward” or losing your confident, healthy posture at the hands of chronic knee pain.

I want you to imagine how life will be in five years from now if you DON’T get a grip on your knee pain now.

How will your knee pain affect your job? Your preservation of self worth and your independence? Will you be a fun person to be with? Or live with? Ok, you get my drift...

WEEKEND WARRIOR

SEAN DAGGETT, RUNNER & TRIATHLETE AGE: 46 BIRTHPLACE: Gulf Coast, Mississippi OCCUPATION: Software Developer, FedEx FIT CLUB: Breakaway Running Group Runs WW BRAGGING RIGHTS: Chicago Marathon, Oct 2017; Memphis Runners Track Club Annual Road Race Series, Jul-Nov 2017; Wade’s Big Adventure 18 Miler, Oct 2017 FAVORITE FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENT: More than anything I love to inspire, encourage, and help others achieve their goals. Motivating others to success is perhaps the best fitness accomplishment.

MOST MEMORABLE WW EVENT: I have always loved the Chicago Marathon. I have had both my fastest time (2013) and my worst race of any distance (2017) on that course.

I ❤ RUNNING & TRIATHLONS: Paradoxically, I love both the genuine camaraderie from fellow athletes as well as the solitude one can find in training and racing.

“More than anything I love to inspire, encourage, and help others achieve their goals.”

FITNESS MOTIVATION: I have worked hard to stay fit my entire life, to varying effect. When my fitness is not there, my body and mind feel out of sorts. It’s like feeling ill without actually being ill. I crave feeling strong and healthy.

TRAINING FOR: Sylamore 25K in February.

WW GEAR: Trail shoes: Brooks Cascadia; Road Shoes: Asics Cumulus; Watch: Garmin 920; Bike: Cervelo P2SL with Shimano shoes; Helmet: Lazer Oxygen.

BUCKET LIST: I must be a glutton for punishment because I’ve always wanted to race the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. I’d also like to run all six World Major marathons.

BEST EATS: I’m a sucker for my weekly trip to Memphis Pizza café, where I practically have my own pizza on the menu—along with Killian’s beer.

ON MY NIGHTSTAND: Currently I’m back and forth between selected short stories from Sinclair Lewis and Plato’s Republic.

MANTRA: Be patient; we do this for a lifetime, not just a season.
