Wellness Warriors and so much more.....
We were so excited to assemble this January WELLNESS issue to all of our readers. As a long time yoga instructor myself at Ritual One Yoga, I was thrilled to share our feature article with readers about this fantastic state of the art studio in which I spend a part of every day. We have highlighted so many members of our roster of wellness resources in Preston Hollow and Dallas, and beyond. From our regular contributing writer and nutritionist Lauren Gillan to founding partners Breathe Meditation and Wellness and new partners Gameday Men's Health and Breath by Design 9D Breathwork, we have truly tried to share a multitude of available wellness wonders to our readers this month. We thank our partners and contributors for allowing us to tell stories and engage in our community. Wishing you all a wonderful and very WELL New Year ahead. Happy 2025.

Supplemental Sensibility
ARTICLE BY LAUREN GILLAN
PHOTOGRAPHY BY REN MORRISON
We are only 43% human. New research suggests that we are made of 30 trillion human cells and 39 trillion microbiota, making the gut microbiome a fascinating place and a host to many bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Our lifestyles have the ability to influence the types of microbiota our bodies support— good, or bad. With the digestive tract being roughly 25 feet of human tissue, it is foremost important to support and heal the lining of our intestines to better pave the way for good bacteria to thrive and for supplements to actually… work.
Colostrum:
While we might tout certain foods in Nature as “superfoods”, colostrum is the only superfood that can be created by the (female) body and is designed to sustain, nourish and protect new life. Not only is a quality colostrum incredibly nutrient dense, containing potent prebiotics, antioxidants and bioactive molecules that support and strengthen cellular health, but it can fortify the immune barrier, creating a seal that protects against toxins. Powdered bovine and goat colostrum are both excellent options.
Magnesium:
An estimated 75% of Americans are not getting enough of the correct types of magnesium. Magnesium is an essential mineral required by every function and system in the body. It is responsible for over 300 enzyme reactions and found in the bones, tissues, brain and blood. It is also one of the most overlooked nutrients. A deficiency in magnesium can cause anxiety, cravings, constipation, insomnia, weak bones… There are eleven types of magnesium, all of which can have different impacts on the body.
Oil of Oregano:
The same herb often sprinkled over pizza, or used in Mediterranean cuisine is thought to have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, to name but a few of the reasons I often recommend it to support immune health and longevity.
Of course, quality matters when we are choosing a supplement. Always consult your healthcare provider before changing up your supplement regimen.
Our lifestyles have the ability to influence the types of microbiota our bodies support— good, or bad. It is important to support and heal the lining of our intestines to better pave the way for good bacteria to thrive and for supplements to actually work.

Ritual One: where minds and bodies grow stronger, together.
ARTICLE BY BRET MCKINNEY PHOTOGRAPHY BY GRAY DEUBER
Ritual One invites you to engage in a new daily ritual — yoga-centric classes taught under infrared heat set to amped-up music in a dimly-lit studio.
Discover how to sweat with intention in one of the diverse class offerings — think yoga, sculpt, pilates and HIIT— all designed to help you reach your highest physical, mental and strength potential.
More than going through the motions, Ritual One challenges you to shift; to sweat with intention and engage the mind, body and soul; to ditch perfect and embrace purpose; and ultimately, to lean into the change and find comfort in the unfamiliar, power in the pause and ultimate transformation.
Ritual One provides a healthy and healing space for students to practice. All classes are taught under infrared heat — increasing detoxification, metabolic rate, caloric burn and blood flow, all while reducing pain and inflammation. Our stateof-the-art air purification ionization system prevents the spread of harmful bacteria, viruses and allergens, while antimicrobial shock-absorbing floors protect joints.
Co-Owners Kalene McGraner and Nicole Preston are both long time instructors in the world of yoga and fitness. Their vision to create Ritual One was inspired by their expertise in yoga and their desire to layer on other types of fitness in a yoga based environment with infrared heating and a format for everyone. Ritual One's class offerings include Power Vinyasa, Yoga Sculpt, Inferno Flow Yoga, Inferno HIIT, and Hot Pilates. Get ready to move with the lights down and the heat up.
Located in the heart of the Knox District at Travis Walk, the Ritual One studio features 4,500-square feet of open air and patio space for dedicated movement along with finely curated retail for men and women. Let us be a part of your daily ritual for a new you this year.
