LIFESTYLE LETTER

Ringing in the New Year January is a time of year that holds mixed feelings for many people. For some, it’s an exciting fresh start. It’s the new year! This month holds endless possibilities and boundless energy. For others, January is dull and disappointing after the glitter and bustle of the holidays. It’s winter without any of the fun of December, and it represents failed goals, high expectations, and the feeling that there’s something you have to make up for after the end of the last year. If you’re making resolutions this January, swearing to yourself that this is going to be the year you really turn your life around is often a great way to feel that you’ve let yourself down. Instead, taking a more tempered approach often has a better chance of succeeding. It’s something that I’ve had to learn to do myself! I struggle with the feeling that if I can’t do things perfectly, it’s not worth doing them at all, when in reality, that couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s often better to do the less-than-ideal version of a good or healthy thing, like exercising once a week instead of every day, than to not do it at all! On the days when I slip up or know that I wasn’t able to give it my all, it helps me to remember that a healthy and successful life isn’t something you can make or break in one day. It takes thousands of days, and you don’t have to get it right every single time in order to achieve a positive result. It’s part of the reason I don’t set New Year’s resolutions anymore– instead, I try to look at every day as a new opportunity to do what’s good for me, physically, mentally, and emotionally. This month, we’ve gathered up some of the best things you can do for your own health and wellness in the Northwest Bergen area. We’ll introduce you to Dr. James Goodnight of Everlasting Beauty, a highly-qualified plastic surgeon in Ridgewood who’s giving people a new lease on life by revitalizing their skin. We’ll also show you around Perspire, a sauna studio in Wyckoff that’s helping people sweat through a wide variety of issues. Lastly, we’ve included some beautiful and healthy smoothie bowls for when you’re looking to pack in the vitamins and nutrients this January. We hope you find something in these pages that will help you feel ready to tackle the month, and the rest of the year! Our team at Northwest Bergen Lifestyle wishes you a very Happy New Year. Here’s to making it a good one for us all! M E G H A N M C G OWA N , E D I TO R @NORTHWESTBERGENLIFESTYLE EAT LOCAL | ENJOY LOCAL | SHOP LOCAL | SPEND LOCAL | SUPPORT LOCAL

Perspire Sauna Studio

Bringing light to the community is no sweat.

ARTICLE BY LIZA FONTI PHOTOGRAPHY BY PERRY QUARANTA

LOCA L LIM E LIGH T | HEALT H + WE LLN E SS

Jenny and Josh Feliciano dreamed of owning a business that would positively impact their community. The Perspire Sauna Studio franchise checked all the boxes for them, and they opened the 42nd Perspire location right here in Bergen County. Perspire Wyckoff, opened in August, is the franchise’s first location in the northeast. The Feliciano family has plans to open five more in Bergen County in the coming years. Josh, originally from Brooklyn, and Jenny, a Ramsey native and Holy Angels graduate, have assembled an amazing team where, according to Jenny, “Everything feels right.” When choosing their first location, Wyckoff

was a natural decision; it’s where the family resides, and are raising their three children: Teddy, age 10, Rose, age 9, and Max, age 7. “They love being a part of things,” Jenny said. In fact, your clean towel just may have been folded by Rose. Their oldest son, Teddy, who is autistic and attends the Forum School in Waldwick, has inspired the family’s eagerness to eventually hire special needs adults. Prior to signing with Perspire, they made sure this would be a possibility. “Ultimately, as we grow, we’ll have more opportunities to employ special needs adults,” Jenny stated.

Clean, bright and inviting, the Wyckoff studio has eight private rooms, each containing its own spacious infrared sauna with a high-intensity red light therapy bar and chromotherapy mood lighting. The rooms are equipped with televisions so you can stream, play music, or meditate during your 40 minute session while you sweat out toxins in temperatures ranging from 115 to 170 degrees. Jenny describes the Perspire experience as “concierge” and “customizable.” Members’ preferences, including temperature, light color, and entertainment, are saved in their system. Medical-grade red light therapy is optional, but included in your session. Jenny explains that red light’s benefits for humans were discovered by NASA scientists researching plant growth in space. While conducting the CONTINUED >

research, the scientists’ hands were healing, and it was determined that red light also supports the human body’s ability to repair and regenerate, rejuvenating skin, boosting collagen and elastin, supporting hormone balance, reducing inflammation, easing chronic pain, and aiding in muscle recovery. Seasonal Affective Disorder affects thousands of people at this time of year, and red light therapy can help to combat it. Jenny explains that there are no UV rays; it’s “the good stuff from the sun that your body and brain need for your mental health.” Chromotherapy, or light therapy, is also included in your sauna session at Perspire. Chromotherapy interacts with your nervous system, and can improve sleep,

alleviate anxiety, or even inspire creativity depending on how you use it. Visible colored wavelengths of the light spectrum support the body and mind. Saunaing is also shown to increase your endorphins and melatonin and lower your cortisol. Jenny, who raves about the many benefits of saunaing she’s experienced herself, including a “deeper, more restorative sleep,” says that Covid really changed their thinking; she and Josh wanted to help people live better lives. A quick chat with their loyal clients shows that the couple is accomplishing their goal of making a difference. From muscle recovery and significant weight loss to reduced arthritis and Lyme’s pain to vanishing eczema rashes, the testimonies speak for themselves. Janet M., a chronic neurological Lyme Disease patient, cut her meds by ¼ thanks to saunaing regularly. “I frankly didn’t think I’d see the results I saw. You have no idea how nice it is to be comfortable.” Intractable nummular eczema has kept Kelly S. from living her life fully for years. After endless treatments, medications, and injections, she was frustrated and feeling hopeless due to the inconvenience, side effects and cost. “I have no words other than it’s changed my life,” Kelly explains. Once an itchy, angry rash that covered her skin, her eczema is now reduced to one tiny, dime-sized spot by her ankle, which she credits to her daily sessions at Perspire. She noticed a difference within the first two weeks of going. For the first time, she’s shopping for shorter Christmas dresses.

, S S E YN AGES

Katy R. reports, “Perspire has completely changed my life! Since I started coming daily two months ago, I have seen remarkable changes in a lot of aspects of my life. My physical and emotional well-being is flourishing. Most notably, weight loss has been a huge benefit. Perspire has kickstarted and played a huge role in a healthy weight loss journey for me and I’ve lost over 35 pounds.” In a world saturated with busyness, Perspire Sauna Studio encourages taking a 40-minute break to prioritize your health. With a high rate of returning customers, it’s clear that Jenny and Josh’s mission is something Wyckoff residents are loving!

REJUVENATING FACES AT EVERLASTING BEAUTY WITH DR. GOODNIGHT

THE SKIN YOU’RE IN 20

As human beings, we’ve been trying to beautify ourselves and look our best since the earliest days of our existence. It’s a universal human drive that you can see in all cultures, all throughout

Educated at the University of Miami in Florida, Dr. Goodnight came out of school thrilled with his new knowledge but struggling with a patient base that was reluctant to go under the knife.

“MY JOB HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT MAKING PATIENTS HAPPY AND GIVING THEM WHAT THEY WANT.” history. We like to feel that we look good! For people of all ages, putting your best face forward often starts with the way that your skin looks, and if you’re not satisfied with what you see when you look in the mirror, it’s incredibly hard to feel confident and at ease. Whether you’re struggling with dullness, pigmentation, and marks on the skin, or you’re having a hard time coming to grips with the changes that come along with age, the appearance of your skin is something that can cause a blow to your self-esteem. However, the skin you’re in isn’t something you’re stuck with. It’s possible to revitalize and rejuvenate your skin in such a way that you’re able to feel confident about how you look again, and expert plastic surgeon Dr. James Goodnight from Everlasting Beauty is just the man to talk to about it!

“Whenever I talked about what I have to do, people would say, ‘When you find a way to do that by waving a magic wand or touching me with your finger, come back,’” he says. “But I was after making the public happy, so I wanted to find a non-surgical way to achieve everything I learned how to do. And it’s finally coming around!” Faced with clientele who wanted results without the drawbacks of surgery, Dr. Goodnight threw himself into finding methods to satisfy his patients. As the years have gone on, the technology and available treatments have evolved and improved, and at his practice in Ridgewood, Dr. Goodnight rides the cutting edge of skin rejuvenation. “Radio frequency microneedling is popular lately. I have what I feel is the best one. In the last couple of years, there’s been stem cells that you can put on. And now there are exosomes, which CONTINUED >

are peptides for the skin. They help, and the more you put in, the more it helps. As great as all of that is, it’s still not as great as the latest thing, which is biostimulation. It’s really just been around for the past 5 years, and it got really popular this year because articles came out and more and more people are doing it.” When it comes to keeping your skin looking great, not everything Dr. Goodnight has to recommend is about lasers, electricity, and needles, either. “It turns out that no matter how great you do on someone while they’re here [at the office], nothing beats a little every day,” he says. At-home treatments are something that he offers to his patients, either alone or to help support the work he does while they’re in the chair. Powerful beauty serums, which he finds highly effective, are also something you can find at his practice, Everlasting Beauty. After spending some time in North Haledon, Dr. Goodnight set up shop in Ridgewood in 2019. “It’s nice to be right in Ridgewood, literally three miles from my house. I could walk here if I wanted to. It’s nice to live close to where you work and it’s nice to be in a great neighborhood,” he said. “It’s local, it’s got plenty of parking, it’s right off the expressway. A great convenient location.” In the years he’s spent in the area, he’s been striving to make use of what advancements have

“YOU FIND OUT WHAT THEY WANT, AND THAT’S WHAT I GET GOOD AT.” been available to really give his patients what they want. “Before, when I started, I felt like I could offer people 10% or 5% of what surgery could offer. Now I feel like I’m getting closer to 50%, which is pretty impressive, because you really have to do surgery to do surgery, to get those kinds of results. And I can do things without much downtime or pain. Patients want minimum downtime, minimum discomfort, minimal scary stuff, and they want maximum results. You find out what they want, and that’s what I get good at.” When asked if he found it rewarding to build people’s confidence and help them feel great about the way they look, Dr. Goodnight’s answer was a resounding yes! “My job has always, in my mind, been about making patients happy and giving them what they want,” he explained. “I give patients what they want, and it ends up making them happy.” drgoodnight.com
