This issue is all about access to health and wellness tools.

First, our member profile features Dr. Lina Kim. She is a revolutionary dentist who dedicated her career to providing oral health care to as many people as possible. She, literally, took to the streets of Seattle and the Eastside making sure under served populations have access to the treatments they need.

On top of that, she is working to change the paradigm for dentistry students who want to open their own practice, a once very expensive and unattainable venture. She has an incredible journey, and you can read more about her on page 36.

Another helpful wellness tool many feel intimidated to fully access is the great outdoors. This is where the competitive sport of orienteering comes in. Read the interview with Bob Forgrave on 24. He is the President of the Cascade Orienteering Club, and he discusses how fun it can be to learn the tools needed to navigate the beloved Cascade mountains with just a compass and map.

Lastly, if you just want access to a little more data about your daily workouts, check out the latest in wearable technology on page 12. There is now a way to perfect your hydration levels minute by minute.

Be well,

N E W S F E E D RAISE UP THE FLAG

As one of the Seattle Seahawks “Day One” fans who bought season tickets for the inaugural year (1976), Bellevue Club member Patrick Whaley was invited to raise the 12th Man flag along with 11 other “Day One” season ticket holders at the Seahawks vs. Rams game on Sunday, January 8, 2023.

Pat Whaley had this to say about the experience: “My son, Sean, went with me. He was thrilled not only for me but also because he played high school and NCAA football. It was pouring down rain and windy throughout the pregame and flag-raising ceremony. Of course it stopped right after we had descended from the flag platform following the ceremony.”

lap it up— WO R KO U T S FOR SWIMMERS Lap swimming is known to be great exercise. It’s very easy on the joints and great for injury rehab or prevention, cardiovascular training and mobility. But it can be monotonous and redundant if you just hop in the pool and swim around and around. If you want to train like an Olympian or just mix it up, try these simple but effective sets, depending on the time you have.

DECADENT SPRINGTIME

written

by ja m es o. f r a i o l i

20 | march/april 2023 reflections

Goodbye, snow, and hello, barbecue! Now that the frozen raindrops have melted and our frigid landscape has thawed to the point of being warm enough to hang out outdoors, it’s time to kick off the grilling season with some spring outdoor cooking. That’s right. If you have a barbecue—and hopefully a smoker—there’s no need to wait until summer. You can start entertaining on your back deck or patio this weekend.

Today, the art of grilling and smoking is more popular than ever, thanks to innovative technology, advanced kitchen appliances, and more efficient tools and equipment for the job. So, as you pass the tongs back and forth this wonderful spring season, enjoy these exciting and easy-grilling recipes from my cookbook Charred & Smoked with Chef Derek Bugge.

Of course, the method of charring and smoking foods has been around since the dawn of cavemen, when meats and vegetables were cooked over an open flame in fumy caves using primitive tools. But it wasn’t until the late 1930s that home cooks discovered how incorporating char and smoke into their foods wasn’t just something that occurred unintentionally when cooking with fire. Backyard barbecuers, whether they knew it or not, were creating a culinary breakthrough, offering more complexity in the form of new aromas and tastes while making the food more interesting to eat.

G R I L L E D S T R AW B E R R Y P I E Serves 8 3 cups fresh ripe strawberries 1/3 cup Smoked Sugar, recipe follows 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/4 cup fresh strawberry jam 1 refrigerated piecrust, thawed Whipped cream or powdered sugar (optional)

1. Preheat your outdoor grill to 350°F. 2. Wash, halve and then remove the stems from the strawberries. Add to a bowl and combine with the Smoked Sugar and cornstarch.

3. Spread the strawberry jam over the bottom of the piecrust, leaving an inch at the edge clean. Place the strawberries in the center of the crust, and fold the crust one pinch at a time to the center. Continue all the way around, leaving about a 4-inch hole in the middle, exposing the strawberries. Place the entire pie on the center of the grill and grill for about 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and allow to cool slightly before cutting. Garnish with whipped cream or dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

SMOKED SUGAR

2 cups granulated sugar

1. Preheat your outdoor smoker to 350°F. 2. Place the sugar in an even layer across a roasting tray. Heat the sugar on the tray in the smoker for 30 minutes. The sugar should have a nice brown color from the smoke. Remove the sugar from the smoker and allow to cool completely before placing in an airtight container. Reserve until ready to use. The sugar will stay fresh for up to 30 days.

GRILLED PEACH SANGRIA Makes 1 quart 4 Florida spring peaches 1 bottle high-quality white wine (Sauvignon Blanc) 1 whole lemon, halved 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup Cointreau orange liqueur Orange slices, as needed, for garnish 1. Preheat your outdoor grill to 400°F. Quarter the peaches and place flesh-side down over direct heat once the grill reaches temperature.

Allow the peaches to char on all three sides (two inner flesh and outer skin). Remove from the grill and allow the peaches to cool. In a stock pot over medium-high heat, add the wine, two lemon halves, sugar and Cointreau. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.

Remove from the heat. Cut each quarter of the peach in half and add to the heated sangria mixture.

Transfer to the refrigerator and let sit overnight. When ready to serve, pour over ice and garnish with fresh orange slices.

GRILLED BISON BURGER with Caramelized Onion Jam & Charred Jalapeño Aioli Serves 4 2 pounds high-quality ground bison Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, as needed 2 tablespoons avocado or grapeseed oil Fresh brioche hamburger buns Caramelized Onion Jam, as needed, recipe follows Charred Jalapeño Aioli, as needed, recipe follows

1. In a mixing bowl, generously season the ground bison with the salt, pepper, and oil. Form patties by scooping 7 or 8 ounces into your hand and packing it like a baseball. Then set it down and flatten it out like a large hockey puck, leaving each patty about 3/4 inch thick. Let the patties sit at room temperature if they are to be grilled within 1 hour. Otherwise, refrigerate the patties until ready to use.

2. Preheat your outdoor grill to at least 450°F. 3. Season the patties again with salt and pepper and place over the heat. For medium, grill for 2 minutes, giving each patty a quarter turn; then grill for 2 additional minutes. Flip the patties over and grill for another 3 or 4 minutes. Factor less time for medium-rare and additional time for medium-well or well done. Remove the patties from the grill and let rest. While the patties are resting, drizzle a little oil on the inside of both buns and place on the grill to toast.

4. Assemble the burger with the Caramelized Onion Jam and Charred Jalapeño Aioli, along with any additional condiments you prefer.

CARAMELIZED ONION JAM Makes ¾ cup

1/2 cup unsalted butter 4 large yellow onions, peeled and sliced thin (1⁄4 inch or less) 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup sherry vinegar 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

In a large pot or pan, warm the butter over medium heat until melted. Add the onions and salt, and sweat the onions until they caramelize, about 15 minutes. Add the brown sugar and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and thyme leaves and heat until the vinegar has been completely absorbed. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Set aside and let cool.

CHARRED JALAPEÑO AIOLI Makes 2 1/2 cups

2 jalapeños, grilled and seeded 3 large egg yolks 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon water 2 cups canola oil

1. Preheat your outdoor grill to at least 450°F. 2. Grill the jalapeños until dark and nicely charred. When the peppers are cool enough to work with, remove the seeds and stems. Place the jalapeños in a kitchen blender and blend for 1 minute on high. (Note: At this point you can pass the mixture through a chinois or fine strainer to remove any impurities and return to the blender. Otherwise, leave as is.) Add the egg yolks, mustard, salt and water and blend for 30 seconds. Slowly add the oil while allowing time for the eggs and oil to emulsify. Continue to blend until all the ingredients have been incorporated. (Note: If, at any time, you “break” the emulsification, meaning the eggs and oil have become separated and resemble scrambled eggs, simply remove all the ingredients from the blender, add 1 teaspoon of water to the blender and repeat the process by drizzling the previously blended ingredients back into the blender).

22 | march/april 2023 reflections

G R I L L E D OYST E R S Serves 4 (3 oysters per person) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed 1 shallot, peeled and minced 1 bunch watercress, stems removed 2/3 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon minced capers 3 ounces fresh Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon cognac 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper 12 medium to large oysters, shucked 1. Preheat your outdoor grill to 400°F. 2. In a small pot, melt the butter over low heat, then add the garlic and shallot. Sweat over medium-low heat until the shallots are translucent. Remove from the heat and add the watercress, stirring constantly until the leaves are wilted, about 30 seconds. Using a food processor or blender, add the mayonnaise, capers, cheese, lime juice and cognac, and pulse for 1 minute, until smooth. Add the melted butter mixture, along with the salt and pepper, and pulse for an additional 10 seconds.

3. Place the shucked oysters on a tray, and pour 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of the mixture over each oyster, enough to cover the entire surface. Transfer the oysters directly onto the grill and roast for 10 minutes.

4. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

The competitive sport of orienteering (using a map and compass to navigate a racecourse) has been around for decades, but it’s recently gained a new following as people are looking for more ways to get outside.

Washington is the perfect playground for the activity, and Bob Forgrave, president of Cascade Orienteering Club, told us all about it. written by lauren hunsberger

24 | march/april 2023 reflections

REFLECTIONS MAGAZINE: WHAT IS ORIENTEERING? BOB FORGRAVE: Orienteering is the sport of learning to

navigate with a map and compass. Some people will leave “learning” out of the definition, but there’s always something new to learn about different skills, terrains, types of maps, types of course, and more.

RM: Who is best suited for orienteering?

BF: The best orienteers seek out new challenges and are

always using each map as a chance to get better.

RM: What advice do you have for those looking into orienteering for the first time?

BF: Don’t be afraid that you don’t know enough to get started. Just do it. Courses range from novice to advanced, and you can progress at your own speed.

RM: What if you don’t feel fast enough to compete against others?

BF: Don’t be intimidated by fast runners; this is one sport where walking is just fine. An accurate runner can easily be faster than a lost runner . . . if you even care about speed.

Sometimes it’s just about an amazing walk with purpose in nature. Also, even if you are a speedy 10K runner and look down on short courses like a 5K, don’t assume that your distance based on roads starts you off immediately at the expert long-course level. Some navigation is involved now!

RM: How did you get into orienteering?

BF: I was 20, and a reasonably fast distance runner, when

my college ROTC unit went to a local orienteering course in Virginia. Three times on one course I made navigationally questionable decisions, with some slow, old dude—I think he was like 40—passing me after each mistake, sometimes with a laughing “parade wave”! Despite my kicking up the pace and passing him twice, he finished ahead of me, and my attitude adjustment was complete. I now had a lifelong respect for how orienteering brings different generations and skill sets together.

RM: What has orienteering brought to your life?

BF: To me, orienteering is about resilience. When my navi-

gation is good, all those checkpoints are about fast interval training as long as my body responds. On days when my navigation is not so good, resilience is about bouncing back, making the next leg more efficient than the last one.

But perhaps the best experience of all is teaching youth how to knock down challenges one at a time, to the point where they are perfectly comfortable getting a new map and launching successfully into a high-speed tour of completely unfamiliar terrain. And to have that be safe, because of all the resilience work they’ve put in on navigation—how to avoid getting lost, and if they do lose contact with the map anyway, how to relocate quickly and get back in the race.

bellevue club march/april 2023 | 25

RM: What’s your favorite memory as an orienteering coach?

BF: It’s been my honor over the years to coach middle schoolers to a winning orienteering league sea-

son, a national win, and to eventually see two of those youth represent the United States in international competition. And then . . . to build on that personal expertise to direct orienteering events, the Washington Interscholastic Orienteering League, and Cascade Orienteering Club itself to help grow the sport. What a way to connect folks to the outdoors!

RM: In your opinion, how does orienteering contribute to a healthy community and environment?

BF: Like it or not, we live in a time of high gadget obsession, low-budget investment in our parks at all

levels, and especially low awareness of the natural world. Go to Google, type in “park,” and most of the images are of flat, mowed grass, with no connection to natural spaces.

Without systemic programs for gradual immersion in the great outdoors and familiarity with how to get around, this trend of disconnection will continue. As a society, we don’t invest in what we don’t know about and don’t care about.

Orienteering reverses this by making it a sport to immerse yourself in nature as much as you want to, developing critical outdoor skills along the way. Some families take the experience only that far, learning how to respect a recreational area, enjoy it, and leave it unharmed at the end. Maybe they grow up to vote in favor of the parks and recreational bonds in areas where they have fond memories.

RM: And some people go much further with it?

BF: Yes, many youth go a lot further. Countless graduates of our orienteering league have gone on to major

in environmental science, focused on how to protect what they value, while expanding their map skills with outdoor georeferencing in the sciences. Yet others take orienteering to the next level, getting involved as outdoor guides or Search & Rescue.

26 | march/april 2023 reflections

The common denominator is a learned appreciation for immersion in nature.

Priceless.

FLOSS BOSS FOUNDER DR. LINA KIM IS DISRUPTING THE DENTISTRY INDUSTRY—ONE MILE (AND SMILE) AT A TIME.

“IT’S PRETTY HARD TO MISS US,” says Dr. Lina Kim about her bright sky-blue Winnebago bus emblazoned with the Floss Boss logo on it. “I wanted it to be colorful and a little loud, but also fresh and welcoming.”

The bus is the first mobile dentist office in Washington State.

It’s equipped with three patient chairs, prepped for cleanings, treatments, scans, whitening, Botox and more. There are small flat-screen TVs on the ceilings above each chair, Bose headsets, fun sunglasses and thoughtful aesthetics throughout the entire vehicle, meant to make the patient experience as pleasant as possible.

IT’S DEFINITELY NOT YOUR TYPICAL DENTIST’S OFFICE.

bellevue club march/april 2023 | 37

“A MENTOR once told me: ‘You don’t want to ride the wave; you want to be the wave,’” she says. “And that really had an impact on me.” So, two and a half years ago, she began to make plans for the roving Floss Boss bus and the future of her practice.

With the mobile model, there were two critical things Kim wanted to change about the industry. The first was equitable access.

“My patients were taking three to four hours out of their day for a cleaning, driving from all over, and that made me think of the convenience factor. I thought, How cool would it be to make dentistry more available?”

By taking to the road, Kim knew she could not only better serve her existing patients but also get into communities that are underserved and often overlooked. “Time is the most valuable resource; not everyone can take a half day off work.”

38 | march/april 2023 reflections

“I thought, How cool would it be to make dentistry more available?”

FOR EXAMPLE, Kim recently connected with Utopia, an organization for the LGBTQIA+ community, through Delta Dental. “We did an event to bridge the gap in lack of dental care for some of the micro communities who often feel judged or marginalized.”

The other driving factor for creating a mobile office, which is in addition to her two brick-andmortar offices, is to expand options for students of dentistry.

“Many dental students have roughly $400,000 in debt when they graduate, and they can have a hard time becoming a practice owner. I wanted to create an option for them, an alternative practice model,” Kim says. “A passion of mine is to give back to the academic dental community, and I wanted to show students that there are options for how to succeed in the industry.”

The response Kim has received from both the community and the industry has already begun to prove her concept. In fact, the second bus is on the way.

“Our vision is convenience, compassion and community. If I can encompass that in one model, it’s a success,” Kim says.

RICHARD RILEY

206.499.9627 rriley@ewingandclark.com

DETAILS BEHIND THE DENTIST When did you first get into dentistry?

I became a dental assistant my senior year of high school and loved it. Then I went to the UW. In 2007 I took over my first office from a dentist with an existing practice.

Why were you drawn to the practice?

There are neurons that create certain feelings stemming from a smile. A person’s smile is very psychological, and I like helping people with that connection.

Where are your two brick-andmortar offices?

In the Laurelhurst and Magnolia communities.

What does “holistic dentistry” mean to you?

Holistic health starts from the inside. That means we look at everything from dental anxiety, dental history and gum measurements to blood pressure and more. We are looking at the whole body, because dental health can actually become very systemic.

What’s one thing you wish everyone knew about dentistry?

Prevention is the key.

PEOPLE & PLACES

WADI RUM RESERVE FUN FACT: Many movies were filmed here: Dune, Star Wars and Aladdin.

INSIDER TIP: Stay the night and do a star tour, camel ride, hike or Jeep tour.

Located in southern Jordan, near the Saudi Arabian border, this vast desert landscape is known for being extreme. The temperatures, the beauty, the Bedouin history and vastness are all guaranteed to leave visitors with a sense of awe and wonder. The 278-square-mile area features vibrant rust-colored arches and canyons stretching out into a seemingly endless playground for eco-adventurers, with the most prominent natural site being the Burdah rock bridge.

If you are interested in Wadi Rum, also check out Wadi Mujib.

TEMPLE OF HERCULES FUN FACT: It is the most prominent Roman structure in the Amman Citadel.

INSIDER TIP: Be sure to check out the famous Hand of Hercules structure.

The Amman Citadel sits on top of one of the seven hills that surround Amman, the capital of Jordan. In the Citadel is the Temple of Hercules, built in AD 162–166, which was an extremely impressive structure for the time, possibly larger than any other temple in Rome. While it’s crumbled over the years, what’s left is nothing short of magic and filled with lore surrounding the massive statue of Hercules.

If you are interested in the Temple of Hercules, also check out the Roman Theatre of Amman.

W H AT T O S AY PETRA

Arabic is the most common language spoken in Jordan. Here are a few key phrases you will hear and can use yourself:

DEAD SEA

PETRA IS AN ANCIENT CITY C A R V E D I N T O VA L L E Y S O F R E D A N D S A N D S TO N E .

DEAD SEA

PETRA

FUN FACT: It’s the lowest point on the earth, at 1,412 feet below sea level.

FUN FACT: It’s also called the Lost City and the Rose City.

INSIDER TIP: The Treasury building is the most photographed, but there are dozens of structures to explore.

INSIDER TIP: There are numerous smaller salt springs surrounding the shores, perfect for solo bathing.

While it’s called the Dead Sea, it’s actually a salt lake that sits on the border between Jordan and Israel. The mineralladen water isn’t great for hosting life, as there are no fish, flora or algae in the lake. However, it does produce stunningly beautiful landscapes and an exhilarating, healing experience for humans of floating with relatively no weight.

The lake also holds special meaning in biblical and historical contexts.

If you are interested in the Dead Sea, also check out Ma’in Hot Springs.

One of the most famous sites in Jordan, Petra is an ancient city that was located on a large trade route and perfectly carved into valleys of vibrant red sandstone. Between the Red Sea and Dead Sea, it highlights the surrounding sandstone canyons and gorges. The site is so stunning it was deemed one of the New Seven Wonders of the World; it’s also one of the oldest cities in the world, built in 321 BC. If you are interested in Petra, also check out Jerash, north of the capital Amman.

AS-SALAMU ALAYKUM: Peace be upon you (Salam: Peace) AHLAN: Hello MARHABAN: Hello or Welcome KAIFA HALUK: How are you?

SABAH AL-KHAIR: Good morning SHUKRAN: Thank you HABIBI: My love or Darling MASA’ ALKHAYR: Good evening ALHAMDULILLAH: Thank God SUBHANALLAH: Glory be to God MASHALLAH: What God has willed BISMILLAH: In the name of God

KERAK CASTLE

FUN FACT: It is thought to be the best-preserved castle in Jordan.

INSIDER TIP: Be sure to locate the Baybars’ Tower, which is the highest vantage point.

The Kerak Castle was built in 1142 as a military fortress for the Crusaders located off the King’s Highway. While impressive at first sight, the most fascinating part is the extensive labyrinth of tunnels and passages underground.

Although the infrastructure was heavily damaged due to military sieges, there are still 16 towers standing that represent the original structure and the efforts to fortify the walls throughout the centuries.

HABIT STACKING Four facts about habit stacking

1.

2.

Habit stacking is using one established habit to help create a new one.

For example, you want to start using your phone less before bed, so you plug it into the bathroom outlet after you

brush your teeth and leave it there.

3.

4.

It’s also sometimes called “habit chaining” or “habit grouping.”

The phrase was first coined by author S. J. Scott in his 2014 book Habit Stacking: 97 Small Life Changes That Take

Five Minutes or Less.
