" W h at we c o n s u m e , l i fe s t y le d e c i s io n s a n d e nv i ro n m e nt a l fac t o rs d e t e r m i n e s o muc h of ou r ove r a l l h e a lt h ."

We are all looking to be at our best and to operate at an optimal health level. Over four in five American adults dive into the vitamin and supplement game daily to ensure that their bodies get exactly what they need consistently. What we consume, our lifestyle decisions and even our environment in which we live determines so much of our overall health. Studies dating back to the 1930s have even revealed that global soil is losing its nutrient punch and modern produce is now nearly nutrient-barren. Even with a top-notch diet, chances are, you're still missing out on crucial nutrients; there has to be an alternative to bridge the gap to wellness! Enter modern vitamins and supplements. These can be great for filling in some of the gaps in our overall nutrition; however, most people don’t realize that supplements taken by mouth travel quite a long distance throughout the digestive tract before they reach the stomach and are broken down for usage by our cells and systems. Once reaching the stomach, more than half of the nutrient content is lost and not absorbed as intended, and since 92 percent of the population is nutrient and/or mineral-deficient, this perpetuates the problem! Ikaria Infusions and Aesthetics in Gallatin offers a different take and provides a better overall method for ensuring our bodies are receiving the appropriate vitamins and minerals they need to operate at peak health. Inside a fun, cozy and relaxing environment, and the complete opposite of the bland medical office or hospital setting, you are now able to skip the oral vitamins and mineral supplements and put those same

vitamins and minerals right into your bloodstream in the form of IV hydration and vitamin injections. This small business in Gallatin is owned and operated jointly by Debra Kilpatrick and Audrey Frazier, two registered nurses and friends who were ready to offer preventative healthcare to their community in a warm, inviting, and comfortable space specifically designed to minimize anxiety and fears. As healthcare providers with decades of experience, they know the importance of making sure our bodies are properly “fed.” While eating a diverse diet and keeping a healthy lifestyle are important, our bodies still need extra nutrients to function optimally. Taking advantage of the ability to bypass the digestive system to get these vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and antioxidants absorbed right into the body at a rate of 100% through IV hydration and vitamin injections has been a game changer for those who understand the importance and amazing benefits. While IV therapy for vitamins and supplements is routinely used in clinical settings, like hospitals and medical offices, Ikaria now brings the same benefits to the community in a much warmer and more welcoming environment. Ikaria’s brick-and-mortar location in downtown Gallatin was designed to be an inviting space similar to an upscale, boutique day spa. Ikaria even offers their convenient, mobile concierge infusion service and will come to you if you are short on time, unable to get out of the house, or just prefer a more private setting! The entire process of receiving an IV infusion typically only takes an hour, but Ikaria also offers an even quicker method through vitamin CONTINUED >

injections that are delivered directly into your muscle for immediate absorption–a true in-and-out treatment for those who prefer a quicker delivery method. Some of the specialty infusions and injections that the ladies at Ikaria have put together are comprised of an immune-boosting cocktail of zinc, vitamin C and a combination of other B vitamins that fight off infection and even reduce the duration of a potential illness. Ikaria also has treatments to boost energy, decrease fatigue, increase metabolism and burn fat, reduce inflammation, detoxify, enhance cognitive function and improve liver, heart and brain health. Ikaria even offers walk-in

In a time where we are looking to gain back our edge and overall health, we are all looking for a better way to do that. In keeping that “better way” front and center, Ikaria’s invigorating IV hydration and vitamin injections are amazing tools to help elevate your health and renew your body’s vitality in a truly unique setting unlike any other in Gallatin. @ikaria_infusions Ikariainfusions.com

Smoothing Resolutions

Embracing a healthier lifestyle in the new year and ensuring we can all be the very best version of ourselves day in and day out

ARTICLE BY PATTI GORDON PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICOLE BELL

S KIN CA R E | HEALTH + WE LLN E SS

The best resolution you can make is to prioritize yourself and your self-care. Carla Vibbert, owner of Waxing the City in Gallatin, is here with answers to our questions about waxing, self-care and skincare. And male readers, don't tune out just yet. There is plenty of information here for the guys too, as studies have shown that men's self-care and waxing services are seeing the biggest rise in the space as well. So, what are the key differences between waxing and shaving, and why is this important? As Carla points out, “Waxing provides longer-lasting results and better outcomes compared to shaving. It does not leave any

bumps or rashes and effectively weakens hair follicles, slowing down hair growth. Typically, waxing is done once a month whereas shaving needs to be done daily." At Waxing the City in particular, the wax that is used during treatment services is exclusively developed for Waxing the City studios and even contains fewer ingredients that may cause allergies in clients. The specially formulated hard wax wraps tightly around each hair and does not adhere to the skin, resulting in a more efficient and less painful waxing experience. Additionally, it is designed to minimize hair breakage.

For those who may be a bit apprehensive or unsure of the waxing process, there are many comfort tools to help with that. Waxing the City offers preparation serums, pre-wax products and techniques along with their exclusive wax, to transform each waxing session into a premium skincare treatment. The pre-wax products contain soothing ingredients like aloe, cucumber and witch hazel. It serves as the first step before every wax service, but using it at home further enhances its skin-calming qualities. Most clients undergo one waxing cycle every four to five weeks. Normally, there is no hair growth in the first two weeks, followed by two weeks of regrowth. During this period, the thinner regrowth reaches a suitable length for a smooth and thorough waxing session, which tends to be less painful with each subsequent session. CONTINUED >

RATION A P E “PR LUSIVE WA SERU EXC MES A P X ENSMS, T O R E M U R EC H C E B IUM E TH NIQUES SK AT EVERY INC ARE TREA

As an incentive for regular waxers, Waxing the City offers a popular monthly membership that grants clients a 20% discount on each visit. Additionally, the Club Orange program provides various other benefits, such as discounts on products and an annual birthday gift. The retail products included in the discounts are carefully formulated to enhance and nourish smooth, radiant and waxed skin. LALICIOUS body scrubs and butters effectively exfoliate, hydrate and leave the skin with a stunning glow. The Fur brand products help manage ingrown hairs effectively and promote healthy hair regrowth. For convenient daily skincare treatments, WTC highly recommends Spongelle body buffers. This is particularly beneficial during the dry winter months when hydration and exfoliation play a crucial role in addressing seasonal changes.

Additionally, they proudly support the Minimo skincare line which features powerful ingredients like turmeric, licorice and Vitamin C to reduce redness, even out skin tone, and leave it looking vibrant and dewy. With an array of options, including dry brushes and body oils, there is truly something for everyone to address their unique skincare needs. Carla’s best advice to anyone with hesitation is to ignore any preconceived ideas you may have gained from movies or rumors about waxing at other places. Waxing the City's main objective is to guarantee that your experience is dignified, pleasant and welcoming. This philosophy is deeply rooted in their values and something they wholeheartedly believe in. “I absolutely love that our parent company is named Self Esteem Brands because waxing truly falls under the umbrella of self-care and has the power to restore one's self-esteem,” says Carla. As the new year arrives, it brings with it refocusing efforts to make sure we are able to be the best version of ourselves. So many times that starts with looking inwardly to self-care and well-being. With that, so many resolutions can be the catalysts for much bigger and impactful changes in our lives. If you desire to be free from unwanted hair, unhealthy depilatory/ hair removal creams and the ever-time-consuming daily shaving routine that can harm your skin, then making a change this new year should be on your resolution list. Waxing the City is Gallatin’s go-to for self-care and provides a wide range of services including specialized treatments for skincare, brows and lashes, allowing beauty, skincare and waxing to converge seamlessly in this new year and beyond. @waxinggallatintn Waxingthecity.com

WHAT IS TIRZEPATIDE?

Tirzepatide is an injection that works by lowering glucose in blood and slows down food digestion signaling to the brain that you’re full longer to help with appetite suppression.

BodyTite is an advanced body contouring procedure that helps tighten the skin. BodyTite is a perfect solution for anyone who has lost weight or has wrinkly skin that naturally comes with aging. BodyTite technology reduces fat while also tightening skin using Radiofrequency Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL).

Ellacor is used to remove excess skin and improve wrinkles non-surgically. It’s specially designed hollow needles penetrate and remove up to 8% of skin without evidence of scarring. After the skin is removed, the body's natural healing response quickly closes the cores, resulting in an improved appearance.

WHAT IS SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER?

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a recurring mood disorder, manifesting as depression during specific times each year. While it commonly occurs in fall or winter due to reduced daylight, some individuals may experience SAD in the spring or summer. The condition’s cyclic nature aligns with seasonal changes, impacting individuals with symptoms such as low mood, fatigue and changes in sleep patterns.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF SAD?

Experiencing fatigue, diminished energy and persistent sluggishness daily, coupled with a loss of interest in once-enjoyed activities, could indicate symptoms of SAD. Feelings of moodiness, irritability, sadness or hopelessness, accompanied by a sense of worthlessness and guilt, may further manifest. Social withdrawal, carbohydrate cravings, overeating and subsequent weight gain are common. SAD symptoms typically start mildly and intensify with the season’s progression, while spring/summer SAD may present as agitation, difficulty sleeping and eating, and weight loss.

WHAT ARE EFFECTIVE WAYS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER?

Light therapy, medications and talking with professionals are all important. Early intervention is also key. Additionally, manageable exercise routines, pairing new habits with existing ones and cultivating joy through daily moments of gratitude and positive thinking aid in support methods.
