Here in Oklahoma, college football signals the beginning of fall, which always kicks off in August. Between the festive gatherings, the taste of pumpkin spice in everything, and the sound of crunching leaves underfoot, this time of year is quite magical. The various aspects of autumn inherently bring happiness or evoke joyful memories that we can continue to savor, much like enjoying a slice of freshly baked apple pie. And though the Southwest summer heat lingers, the autumn days also paint a palette of warmth in reds, oranges, and browns.
But fall is more than cozy sweaters and hot apple cider. It’s also a wonderful time for introspection and renewal, reflected in the changing and falling leaves. While spring represents new birth and childhood, and summer symbolizes youth, autumn signifies adulthood and maturity. This maturity symbolizes abundance, prosperity, and wealth through the harvest. Just as nature transitions with shorter days, cooler temperatures, and falling leaves, we too experience an “autumn” in our lives. As we embark on this wellness journey together, may the gentle embrace of fall inspire you to prioritize self-care, cultivate healthy habits, and explore a path of holistic well-being.

Drybar, known for its exceptional blowout services, has made its mark in Oklahoma City with locations at Classen Curve, First National Center, and Norman. Owned by two passionate entrepreneurs, these locations offer more than just hairstyling; they provide a unique experience that keeps clients coming back for more.
For Tame’ra Kim, co-owner of Drybar Norman, opening a franchise in her alma mater’s town was a dream come true. As an OU alumna and local resident, Tame’ra wanted to bring the joy of Drybar to her community. Since its opening, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, with the entire community rallying behind the new addition.
What sets Drybar Norman apart are its signature styles and add-on services. From relaxing scalp massages to frizz-fighting treatments like the Liquid Glass Sealant, clients can indulge in luxury while receiving an incredible blowout. The Southern Comfort style reigns supreme here, offering a unique flair that resonates with both clients and staff.
The customer experience at Drybar Norman is curated to perfection. From the warm welcome at the door to the complimentary mimosas, every detail is designed to make clients feel pampered and valued. The thorough consultation process ensures that each client’s needs are met, leading to smiles of satisfaction with every visit.
At Drybar, high-quality products and tools enhance the blowout experience, leaving clients refreshed and rejuvenated. Popular services at Drybar Norman include scalp massages, frizz-fighting treatments, detoxifying scalp treatments, and braids, offering both luxury and practical solutions to common hair concerns.

Maintaining a flexible body and minimizing pain is essential for overall well-being.
While traditional stretching methods focus on increasing flexibility, Stretch Zone aims to adjust the stretch reflex, gradually enhancing your active range of motion. Assisted stretching at Stretch Zone provides a unique advantage by allowing a trained professional to guide and deepen the stretches, ensuring proper alignment and reducing the risk of injury.
Mobility in the neck, back, and hamstrings is crucial for relieving stiffness and soreness, enhancing overall flexibility, and improving quality of life. For the neck, it prevents tension headaches and improves daily comfort. A flexible back helps avoid chronic pain and supports spinal health, while limber hamstrings contribute to better posture and lower back health. Together, these stretches can enhance overall health and vitality in just 30 minutes or less a day.
NECK: SCALENE STRETCH
Why Does Your Neck Get Tight? The neck is a complex structure that supports the weight of the head and facilitates a wide range of movements. Tightness in the neck muscles can result from poor posture, prolonged sitting, stress, or sudden movements. These factors can lead to muscle imbalances and tension, causing discomfort and stiffness.
Scalene Stretch: A highly effective way to alleviate neck tension is through the scalene stretch. This stretch targets the scalene muscles, which run along the sides of the neck and are often a source of tightness. The Scalene Stretch helps to lengthen the scalene muscles, reduce tension, and improve neck mobility. Regular practice can lead to significant relief from neck stiffness and soreness.

LYING HAMSTRING STRETCH
Why Do Your Hamstrings Get Tight? Hamstring tightness is a common issue, especially for those who sit for prolonged periods. Sitting can lead to disc compression and an extreme anterior pelvic tilt, both of which contribute to tight hamstrings. Additionally, activities like running, cycling, and weightlifting can strain the hamstrings, causing them to become tight and sore.

Lying Hamstring Stretch: To counteract tight hamstrings, the lying hamstring stretch is highly effective. This stretch helps to elongate the hamstrings, reducing tightness and improving flexibility.

Why Does Your Back Hurt? Back pain is a widespread issue caused by various factors, including poor posture, muscle tension, and injuries. Slouching or sitting in an awkward position for extended periods can strain back muscles and disrupt spinal alignment. Stress and lack of physical activity can also lead to muscle tightness, causing discomfort and stiffness.

Spinal Rotation: Spinal rotation is an excellent stretch for relieving back tension and promoting flexibility. The spinal rotation helps to increase spinal mobility, release tension in the back muscles, and improve overall flexibility.

In today’s fast-paced world, digestive health issues such as food sensitivities, SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), yeast overgrowth, and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) are becoming increasingly common. These conditions cause significant discomfort and impact overall health. Dr. Laura Miles, a leading functional medicine doctor in the Oklahoma City metro, offers comprehensive solutions to these gastrointestinal problems, helping patients achieve optimal health through personalized care.
Food sensitivities can manifest in various ways, from digestive distress to skin issues, headaches, and fatigue. Unlike food allergies, which trigger immediate reactions, food sensitivities often lead to delayed responses, making them harder to identify. Dr. Miles utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques to pinpoint specific food sensitivities. Through detailed patient histories and specialized testing, she identifies the culprits causing chronic inflammation and discomfort. By creating customized elimination diets and reintroduction plans, Dr. Miles helps patients discover which foods are problematic and how to manage their intake. This personalized approach alleviates symptoms and empowers patients to make informed dietary choices.
SIBO occurs when there is an abnormal increase in bacteria in the small intestine, causing bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nutrient deficiencies. Conventional treatments often focus on antibiotics, which may not address the root cause.
Dr. Miles adopts a holistic approach to treating SIBO, emphasizing the importance of balancing the gut microbiome.
She uses a combination of targeted antibiotics or herbal antimicrobials, dietary modifications, and probiotics to restore a healthy bacterial balance. Her treatment plans are designed to eliminate the overgrowth and prevent recurrence, promoting longterm gut health.
Yeast overgrowth, particularly Candida, can lead to symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, and recurrent infections. Dr. Miles addresses yeast overgrowth with a multi-faceted approach that includes dietary changes, antifungal medications or supplements, and probiotics.
She stresses reducing sugar and refined carbohydrate intake, which feed yeast, while incorporating antifungal foods and supplements into the diet. By addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes of yeast overgrowth, Dr. Miles helps patients achieve lasting relief and improved health.
IBS is a common condition characterized by chronic abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits. It is a functional gastrointestinal disorder, meaning the symptoms are real but not caused by structural abnormalities. Dr. Miles tailors her treatment plans to each individual’s needs.
Her approach includes interventions such as identifying food sensitivities as well as other dietary changes if needed, which have been shown to reduce IBS symptoms. She also incorporates stress management techniques, recognizing the significant impact of stress on gut health. Additionally, Dr. Miles may recommend specific supplements and medications to alleviate symptoms and improve overall digestive function.
Dr. Laura Miles’ expertise in functional medicine sets her apart in treating gastrointestinal disorders. Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues rather than merely treating symptoms. Dr. Miles takes the time to understand each patient’s unique health history, lifestyle, and genetic factors, creating personalized treatment plans that promote holistic well-being.
Her comprehensive approach combines the latest medical advancements with natural therapies, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications. This integrative method ensures that patients receive well-rounded care that addresses the underlying causes of their conditions, leading to more effective and lasting results.
If you are struggling with food sensitivities, SIBO, yeast overgrowth, or IBS, Dr. Laura Miles offers compassionate and effective care to help you achieve optimal digestive health. By addressing the root causes of your symptoms and providing personalized treatment plans, Dr. Miles guides you towards a healthier, more balanced life.

STORY BY TED COX AND MARTHA MCQUAID
Imagine what would be possible if we had zero self-doubt, unshakable self-worth, and FULLY believed in ourselves! When we stop doubting our greatness, build unwavering self-worth, and embrace who we truly are, we transform our entire life! Conscious Living teaches how to achieve life-changing results with simple steps. What would your life be like If you could conquer the self-limiting beliefs that have held you back for so long? How would it feel to experience more fulfilling relationships? What if you were able to drop the toxicity of people pleasing (saying yes when you really mean no, so much that you end up betraying yourself), and create impenetrable personal boundaries?
How would it feel to have the motivation to transform your inspiration and creativity into reality, instead of underestimating your talent and gifts?
Imagine the clarity, peace of mind, sense of purpose, and awareness that would define your everyday life. What has lack of worth and self-doubt already cost you in your life? All of this can lead to a life of purpose and meaning – the life that’s waiting for YOU!
We create our future by getting clear about what we really want. We become what we believe. Research shows people who write down specific goals and share them with at least one other person are 97% more likely to realize their dream. 75% of women have imposter syndrome. 73% of men have self-worth issues. Conscious Living gives its members the courage to change their lives through a shared vision and the vital support needed to manifest dreams into reality.
It is only when a person is able to feel they have worth that they can possess the courage to change. When we feel we can be beneficial to the community and make contributions to other people, then we can have a true sense of our own worth. When we begin to make meaningful changes, we can create the life we’ve always dreamed of living.
We cannot exceed our level of self-worth. We cannot rise to what is possible if we’re stuck in doubt and fear. Instead, we limit ourselves to the level of what we believe we’re worthy of.
Are you ready to unleash your greatness and believe in the power that is YOU? Are you ready to finally stop believing the lies that you’re unlovable, unqualified or not enough? Are you ready to triumph over the thoughts holding you back, destroy self-doubt, and truly know and believe you have what it takes to accomplish your greatest goals and wildest dreams? Are you ready to stop hiding in plain sight?
At Conscious Living, we believe every single person has something great to offer the world and that each of us is here for the purpose of the universe to unfold. We know exactly what is blocking your sense of worth, preventing you from finding your courage to change – and more importantly, show you how to no longer let it run your life.
Are you experiencing any of the following; divorce, job dissatisfaction, single-parenting, imposter syndrome, personal boundary issues, burn-out, discounting your worth, or asking the question,
“Is this all there is to my life?”
You can avoid the pitfalls of being stuck in symptoms – procrastination, people pleasing, lack of motivation, physical and emotional debt, lack of strategy, and trying to figure life out by yourself. It’s time to leave the known for the unknown and invest in the future YOU most want to experience.
If you’re sick and tired of what self-doubt has already cost you in your life and you’re ready to expand your self-love, ignite your self-confidence and awaken your self-worth, Conscious Living is for you.
Conscious Living is an empowering and transformative yearlong course of self-discovery and personal growth – emphasizing the importance of taking action and accountability in order to move from where you currently are, to where you dream to be. Our focus is on the common challenges we all face – boundaries, relationships, selfcare, and self-limiting beliefs; while also highlighting the importance of self-worth, authenticity, and personal integrity – offering a unique, holistic approach to personal development.
Our five-step program is the starting point for expansion, giving you the right information at the right time without leaving home. We provide a proven, structured framework led by two highly experienced “thought leaders”, coaching members in real-time, offering collaborative and synergistic accountability, along with a “sharing system” for accelerated personal development. Conscious Living is a comprehensive and dynamic method that empowers individuals to breakthrough self-limiting beliefs to their personal power and hidden potential.
Conscious Living is distinctly different from counseling, which is invaluable work toward resolving past issues and gaining clarity. One-on-one coaching is a client-driven way to help individuals move forward. While both methods are effective in providing insight and clarity, our experience has proven that we cannot give people the same results as quickly with one-on-one coaching as we can through our Conscious Living program. Our forward-focused approach through the Global Mastermind model builds upon the insights gained from counseling and coaching. A global mastermind is where the people leading it have already done the work. In addition, the group teaches the group.
We believe we go places together we would not go ourselves. Being part of a Global Mastermind creates a space for people to meet weekly, brainstorm, and engage with members at their edge. The
collective adds a valuable layer of support, as members commit not only to their own growth, but also to the growth and progress of each other. This shared journey fosters a sense of belonging and mutual encouragement, making the process of self-exploration less daunting and more rewarding, with accelerated progress through collaboration.
The feedback we’ve received from our Conscious Living members includes how much they love the group support, shared community, personal accountability, motivation and inspiration, selfreflection, consistency of action, living more intentionality, and the offering of different perspectives from each member; validating one another, and allowing them to know they are not alone on this journey.
The Conscious Living collective is limited to 16 members –we can only accept one, maybe two members every month. Limiting the collective to a smaller number keeps the value of the work at the highest level.
How it works:
• Weekly online sessions with group discussion and support
• Friendly accountability with weekly check ins
• Positive affirmations with wins for the week
• Real-time coaching with members
• Discovery through self-inquiry
• Personal access to each leader with one-on-one coaching sessions
• Teaching the Power Principles for the future you.
Visit our website at www.spirithouseyoga.com/conscious-living to schedule a strategy session. Let’s talk.
“The Conscious Living Program provides an earnest and thoughtful community that holds space for each other. The group acts as a sounding board, accountability circle and a soft cushion as you create a map back to critical fragments of yourself that have long since been forgotten. Rooted in self-inquiry and compassionate guidance, you will be encouraged to unlearn all that no longer serves you, strengthen aspects of self that do serve you, and discover that you indeed have the power to shift, change and grow with grace and purpose.” T.M.
“The one thing Conscious Living has provided me that’s been the most helpful so far is community. Having a group made of individuals seeking a more meaningful existence alongside me has given me a lot of validation and courage. When you’re trying to tackle things like this alone, it’s too easy to doubt yourself and avoid the uncomfortable stuff.” B.M.
Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a prevalent condition that affects the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the pelvic organs. The pelvic floor plays a crucial role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and support of the pelvic organs. When these muscles become weakened, overactive, or uncoordinated, it can lead to PFD, manifesting in symptoms such as incontinence, pelvic pain, and sexual dysfunction.
PFD offers a comprehensive approach to managing and treating pelvic floor dysfunction. By addressing the underlying causes and providing targeted interventions, this therapy can significantly improve quality of life for individuals suffering from PFD. It is essential for those experiencing symptoms to seek professional evaluation and treatment to effectively manage this condition.
Several factors can contribute to the development of pelvic floor dysfunction:
1. Pelvic Surgery: Procedures such as hysterectomy or prostate surgery can impact the integrity and function of the pelvic floor muscles, leading to dysfunction.
2. Aging: With age, the pelvic floor muscles can lose strength and elasticity, increasing the risk of dysfunction.
3. Pregnancy and Childbirth: The strain of carrying a baby and the process of childbirth can stretch and weaken the pelvic floor muscles, often leading to issues postpartum.
4. Being Overweight: Excess weight can place additional pressure on the pelvic floor, contributing to muscle strain and dysfunction.
5. Overuse of Pelvic Muscles: Chronic straining from constipation or heavy lifting can overwork the pelvic floor muscles, leading to fatigue and dysfunction.
6. Serious Injuries to the Pelvic Area: Trauma from accidents or falls can damage the muscles and connective tissues of the pelvic floor, causing dysfunction.
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the assessment and rehabilitation of the pelvic floor muscles. This therapy is administered by trained pelvic health physical therapists who employ a variety of techniques tailored to each individual’s needs.

1. Assessment and Diagnosis: The therapist conducts a thorough evaluation, which may include a physical examination and a review of the patient’s medical history and symptoms. This assessment helps in identifying the specific type of dysfunction and tailoring the treatment plan.
2. Education and Lifestyle Modifications: Patients are educated about their condition and the factors contributing to it. This may include advice on dietary changes, proper bowel and bladder habits, and techniques to reduce strain on the pelvic floor.
3. Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques are used to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and promote healing. This may include internal and external massage, trigger point release, and myofascial release.
4. Pelvic Floor Exercises: Tailored exercises are prescribed to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor muscles as needed. These exercises may include Kegel exercises, biofeedback, and electrical stimulation.
5. Behavioral Therapy: Techniques such as relaxation training and breathing exercises are used to improve muscle coordination and reduce symptoms.

STORY BY FIT CITY MAG
Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese technique revered for its therapeutic benefits and holistic approach to skincare.
This time-honored technique uses a smooth-edged tool, typically crafted from jade or rose quartz, to gently scrape the skin in upward strokes. This motion enhances blood circulation and encourages lymphatic drainage, which helps alleviate puffiness and brighten the complexion.
One of the primary advantages of Gua Sha is its ability to improve skin elasticity and minimize fine lines.
By stimulating blood flow and collagen production, this non-invasive technique firms and tones the skin to enhance your natural beauty.
Beyond its cosmetic benefits, Gua Sha offers a deeply relaxing experience. The gentle pressure and rhythmic motions help relieve muscle tension, making it a valuable addition to any self-care routine. This practice promotes mindfulness and supports overall well-being.
To incorporate Gua Sha into your skincare regimen, follow these steps:
1. START WITH A CLEAN FACE
Ensure your skin is clean to prevent irritation.
2. APPLY FACIAL OIL
Use a facial oil to facilitate smooth gliding of the tool.
3. HOLD THE TOOL AT A 15-DEGREE ANGLE
This ensures optimal contact with the skin.
4. USE GENTLE, UPWARD STROKES
Focus on areas prone to tension such as the jawline, cheeks, and forehead.
Despite being a safe practice, it would be best to avoid Gua Sha if you have:
• Had facial botox or injectables within the past three or four weeks.
• Thin skin and are underage or on the mature side. Chronic skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, or rosacea.
5. REGULAR PRACTICE
Even a few minutes daily can lead to noticeable improvements.
• If you’re pregnant, take blood thinners, or have a blood clotting disorder, discussing with your primary care provider before trying Gua Sha is recommended.
When practiced correctly, Gua Sha can deliver impressive benefits like a brighter complexion, enhanced blood flow, and pain relief. This versatile, holistic approach not only supports skin health but also contributes to overall well-being and self-care.

2 CUPS ALMOND FLOUR
1 TABLESPOON BAKING POWDER
1 TEASPOON GROUND CINNAMON
1/2 TEASPOON GROUND GINGER
1/4 TEASPOON GROUND NUTMEG
1/4 TEASPOON GROUND CLOVES
1/2 TEASPOON SALT
1 CUP PUMPKIN PUREE
1 CUP UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK (OR MILK OF CHOICE)
2 LARGE EGGS
2 TABLESPOONS COCONUT OIL, MELTED (OR ANY NEUTRAL OIL)
2 TABLESPOONS MAPLE SYRUP OR HONEY
1 TEASPOON VANILLA EXTRACT
Preheat your waffle iron
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
Cook the Waffles:
Lightly grease your waffle iron with non-stick spray or additional coconut oil. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes per waffle, depending on your waffle iron.
Serve:
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite healthy toppings. Fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt are excellent choices.
