HEALTHY LIVING HEALTHY PLANET

I

n our part of the world, where tourists come and go as predictably as the tide, we depend on fall as the time to recharge our batteries. Part of that recharging happens naturally, as the ocean breeze turns cooler and the sunlight takes on a softer, golden hue. The beaches gradually become less crowded, and so do the shops and streets. With the kids back in school, the grownups can finally be still and breathe.

So fall is a perfect time for reflection and restoration, with a slower pace that allows us to invest time in our well-being.

As Marlaina Donato writes in our feature article, “Age-Defying Bodywork: How to Turn Back the Clock,” this sort of self-care doesn’t just make us feel better temporarily; it also pays longScott & Daralyn Chase term dividends by warding off inflammation and premature cell death. She explains how massage, acupuncture and reflexology fortify the nervous system, helping our bodies combat age-accelerating stress hormones like cortisol—an idea that’s been embraced by the medical mainstream.

We’re also celebrating National Yoga Month with Donato’s take on “The Power of Yoga: Tapping Into the Life Force.” Another potent stress-buster, yoga’s contribution to mind-body fitness is proving to be a reliable defense against age-related loss of mobility, cardiovascular disease and depression.

Those two articles, like most of what we publish, highlight the intricate interconnection between what we experience (our environment, natural and manmade); what we feel (our emotional and spiritual response); and our bodies (our physical health). The mind, body and spirit work like a three-legged stool: If we give one of them short shrift, we don’t have a level foundation. We began publishing Natural Awakenings to provide a local resource for people wanting to achieve mind-body-spirit balance. The Emerald Coast Holistic Health Expo—to which much of this issue is dedicated—is the logical extension of that mission.

We launched the Expo four years ago, and since then we’ve seen more visitors every year, not just from Northwest Florida but from throughout the state and beyond. At the Expo, you’ll find information, products and services to improve every part of your life, from your own well-being to the well-being of your household and your community.

This year we have dozens of participating vendors, as well as expert-led workshops on subjects as diverse as medical marijuana, sustainable investing, natural ADHD treatment and transcendental meditation. There are plenty of hands-on demonstrations and familyfriendly activities too. So whether you want to bring the kids or enjoy some “me time,” don’t miss this opportunity to renew and recharge your life.

The Emerald Coast Holistic Health Expo takes place Saturday, September 7 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and Sunday, September 8 (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.), at the Emerald Coast Convention Center in Fort Walton Beach. Check out our event guide, pages 23-31, and you’ll see why the Expo has become an annual destination for the healthy living community.

See you there!

Real, sustainable weight loss begins with tossing the list of what you “can’t eat” and boring meals. Nobody can do that long term.

Since your state of mind controls your thoughts and habits, it only makes sense that the way to slimming down should start with your mind. And it does.

Bayside Hypnosis has documented results from local women who have personally experienced this mindbody phenomenon—and have the leaner bodies to show for it. They’ve seen for themselves how hypnosis uses your emotions, your unconscious mind and your imagination to literally change how you decide what to eat, by slowing down the internal debate and mental chatter that are so distracting.

One “secret” of how hypnosis works is something most of us intuitively know already: Many times, we eat because of purely emotional (stress!) reasons, not because we’re actually hungry. So having a logical understanding of what to eat is useless! When you overeat, you’re feeding your emotions.

Hypnosis helps you make decisions from a state of calmness in your right brain, while it tunes out your busy analytical mind. It can also be used to change associations, such as what you use to reward yourself. It’s entirely possible to shift from loving Twinkies to loving exercise, for example.

Newly Renovated Twelve Oaks Recovery Center Hosts Open House

T

welve Oaks Recovery Center, in Navarre, recently completed extensive renovations and will celebrate with an open house on September 20. “Most of the facility has been upgraded in some way, and we’ve also added a labyrinth, bridges and artificial turf in the recreation area,” says Brad Garraway, Twelve Oaks’ business development representative. “We’ve been serving the community for more than 30 years, so it was time for a face-lift.”

The private recovery center offers the full continuum of care for adults, including detoxification, residential treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Residential programming is divided into three treatment tracks: a Primary Mental Health Program addressing disorders such as PTSD, anxiety, depression and bipolar; an Addiction Program addressing substance use and co-occurring disorders such as PTSD, anxiety, depression and bipolar; and a Military Program addressing substance use disorders and PTSD.

“We believe in a comprehensive, holistic approach to recovery and provide the most advanced treatment for mental health and substance use disorders,” Garraway says. “We are trauma focused and support multiple pathways to recovery, including 12-step recovery. Our picturesque campus on the Emerald Coast provides a beautiful, serene setting for heating and recovery.”

Twelve Oaks accepts most major commercial insurance providers, including Tricare and Ambetter, as well as private pay.

Transportation assistance is available upon request.

health brief

Eat Vegan Without Compromising Stamina For runners, food is fuel, and a new study lays to rest debates about which diet is best. Researchers at Leibniz University, in Hannover, Germany, recruited 76 men and women runners, divided equally between vegans, vegetarians and omnivores.

They had an average age of 27 and ran recreationally two to five times a week. The runners were asked to pedal to exhaustion on a stationary bike, and researchers found that all three groups had similar exercise capacity and power output, and similar lactate production during exercise. The researchers concluded that vegan diets were “a suitable alternative for ambitious recreational runners.”

Soak Up Rays for a Healthier Bowel Regular exposure to sunlight decreases the incidence of irritable bowel disease (IBD) in children, researchers from the Australian National University report. They compared 99 children with IBD with 396 healthy children using interviews with parents to establish a database. For every 10 minutes of sunlight exposure a day on average, there was a 6 percent reduction in risk, and 30 minutes a day reduced the risk by 20 percent.

Also, children with deeper tans were at lower risk. IBD, which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, has been shown in previous studies to be less common among people that live in sunnier places and closer to the Equator.

Be a ‘Warm’ Parent to Extend Kids’ Lives Cold or unsupportive mothering styles can harm a child’s health into adulthood, Loma Linda University researchers have found. Compared to adults mothered in a “warm” style, adults that had been mothered in a “cold” manner had an average of 25 percent shorter telomeres, indicating faster cellular aging, a shorter life span and greater susceptibility to disease. The study was based on follow-up blood samples of 200 adults originally enrolled in cohort studies of 130,000 people starting in 1976. Those that described their mothering as cold tended to be overweight or obese as adults, with less education. A father’s parenting style had a much smaller effect and was not significant enough to impact telomere length, the authors found.

Sleep Tight to Keep Ulcers at Bay About one in 10 Americans develops painful peptic ulcers, open sores in the lining of the stomach and duodenum, that are sometimes caused by an overgrowth of the Helicobacter pylori bacteria. Drug therapy to eradicate the bacteria involving two antibiotics and one acid suppressant is usually successful, but about 10 percent of cases recur.

A key factor may be sleep quality, suggests a new study from the University of Hong Kong. Researchers followed 1,420 people that had been treated for peptic ulcers for three years. The ulcers recurred in 8.3 percent of them, and those that had poor sleep—including taking longer to fall asleep and waking more during the night—were significantly more likely to be re-infected. Longer total sleep times helped reduce infection recurrence.

Breathing Risk

global briefs Pollution More Deadly Than Cigarettes

Toxic air is killing more people in Europe than tobacco smoking, according to new research published in the European Heart Journal. The number of early deaths caused by air pollution is double previous estimates and the lives of 800,000 people worldwide are cut short by an average of more than two years, the scientists calculated. Although air pollution enters through the lungs, its impact via the bloodstream on heart disease and strokes is responsible for twice as many deaths as respiratory diseases. Penny Woods, chief executive of the British Lung Foundation, says, “Toxic air doesn’t just cut lives short. It also seriously affects the health and quality of life of millions of people.”

In the U.S., air pollution in general worsened markedly across the country between 2015 and 2017, probably due to rising temperatures, according to the American Lung Association’s State of the Air 2019 report. Based on federal, state and local data, it found that that many cities nationwide increased the number of days when particle pollution, often called “soot”, soared to record-breaking levels. More cities suffered from higher numbers of days when ground-level ozone, also known as “smog”, reached unhealthy levels.

The report’s three-year span covered the hottest years on record globally, and as the report noted, the data “adds to the evidence that a changing climate is making it harder to protect human health.” Case in point: The top six cities or metro areas in ozone pollution—Los Angeles-Long Beach, Visalia, Bakersfield, Fresno-Madera-Hanford, Sacramento-Roseville and San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad—were all located in California, one of the most environmentally proactive states.

Elephants Never Forget—What They Smell

According to a new report from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, elephants have such sensitive olfactory discrimination that they can determine different amounts of food just by sniffing it. Most animals use visual acuity to determine quantities of food, but this study shows that it’s important for psychologists to incorporate into experimental designs the ways in which different animals interact with their environment using all of their senses.

The Amazon Rain Forest continues to lose habitat for animals and plants by clear cutting practices that add to the burden of climate change.

According to satellite imaging data compiled in 2018 by Global Forest Watch and analysts at the University of Maryland, removing large patches of forest to make room for ranching caused the highest loss of forest cover overall, along with other commercial activities like mining and soy production. The World Resources Institute, which tracks global forest cover, reports deforestation is increasing in Brazil, Indonesia, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia.

Large swaths of forest serve as carbon sinks, helping suck excess carbon emissions from the atmosphere. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has promised to open the Amazon for industry and recently slashed funding to environmental and science research groups.

EMPATHIC PRACTICE A Holistic Approach to Mind-Body Wellness

I

by Allison Gorman

f a single clinic could encapsulate the enlightened future of health care, it would be Empathic Practice, in Pensacola. It blends elements of traditional medicine, natural and non-pharmacologic treatments, as well as mind-body-spirit therapies, to encourage patients to become informed partners in their wellness journey.

“Our path is to walk by our patients’ side,” says Felipe Muñoz, mindfulness and meditation coach at Empathic Practice.

“Our team members combine medical expertise and alternative health experience to help them navigate how they feel every day.

We teach them how to identify their needs, and then, using a holistic approach, we help them build their path with a custom plan and corrective feedback.”

William Hass, M.D., a board-certi fied physician with more than 40 years’ experience, including pain management, established Empathic Practice in 2018, with the mission of delivering innovative holistic treatment for a wide range of medical conditions.

"It's not about a pill or a plant—it's about people," Hass says.

As the clinic’s medical director, he 16

believes that giving options to clients and patients and listening to them is what makes a difference in the clinic's approach.

The broad scope of treatments and therapies made available at Empathic Practice reflect his interest in resilience and mindfulness education, as well as an interest in herbal medicine. Depending on the patient’s needs, a treatment plan there might include any combination of modalities, including medical marijuana evaluation, mindfulness and meditation training, life coaching, health and wellness coaching, massage therapy, Ayurvedic medicine, qigong and yoga.

Focus on Mindfulness

Empathic Practice offers a wealth of treatment options. Some of the most common mental/emotional symptoms that bring patients to Empathic Practice include stress, tiredness, lack of focus, anxiety, distraction, frustration, confusion and feelings of hopelessness, Muñoz says.

“We’re here to support our patients while they walk the path of healing,” he says. “Our goal is to provide guidelines to improve performance, better their mood

Natural Awakenings of Northwest Florida

www.NWFNaturally.com

and manage expectations. It’s a perfect way for them to know where to focus their efforts to develop themselves and grow toward their most important goals.”

A major focus of Empathic Practice is the mind-body-spirit connection. Muñoz, an internationally certified meditation teacher and life coach, directs this component of the practice. He has spent more than a decade helping people find their purpose and align their actions and goals. At Empathic Practice, he brings his expertise in mindfulness, meditation and art into a clinical healing setting, offering holistic support in a warm, personal, compassionate way.

“Our mindfulness and meditation coaching method helps everyone that wants to add these tools of self-improvement to their lives,” he says. “Its preferential treatment and holistic approach puts the patient’s well-being before anything else.”

In addition to group guided meditations, Empathic Practice offers one-on-one meditation and mindfulness coaching sessions. The clinic also provides individual sessions with Amanda Simmons, the natural health and wellness coach and one of several certified yoga instructors at the practice.

"I believe in reincorporating the basics of health and wellness back into our lives by using whole foods, super foods, movement, breath and other simple yet highly effective tools,” Simmons says. “Diet can be fun with open-mindedness and a little knowledge. I love to share my passion of shifting mindset to health and then shifting what's on our plate; the combination is powerful. I know we're meant to live our healthiest and happiest lives. I’m simply a guide to coach and inspire individuals to get there."

Medical Marijuana Evaluations

Empathic Practice is one of many medical clinics that opened in response to Florida’s new medical marijuana law, which allows state-approved dispensaries to sell medical marijuana when it’s been recommended for certain conditions.

As a physician licensed to prescribe medical marijuana, Hass says he takes that responsibility seriously—a stance reflected in the thoroughness of his evaluation process. First, because there are variations

in people’s response to the types of medical marijuana, as well as their genotype and tolerance level, Empathic Practice offers a DNA test that helps people understand the connections between cannabis and individual genomics.

Second, Hass spends considerable time on evaluation, to give each patient the best opportunity to get good results as quickly as possible. Traditional insurance does not cover medical marijuana, he says, and so using trial and error to find the right drug, the right dose and the right method of administration can be timeconsuming and expensive.

“We want to educate the patient so they’ll go to the dispensaries more informed and not feel overwhelmed by the options available," he says.

Empathic Practice differs from many medical marijuana practices in Florida because it doesn’t consider the medication the sole treatment solution, Muñoz says. “Medical marijuana is part of our holistic approach. We want people to treat medical marijuana with respect, and that’s where all the other methodologies of care that we offer feed in.”

Cassandra Cusack-Curbelo M.D.,

who works with Empathic Practice offering education about herbs and the millennia-old methods of Ayurveda, sees plant-based treatments as an integral part of holistic medicine.

"As we continue to expand our understanding of how human health interacts with the natural world around us, we will deepen our relationship with the phytopharmacopia alongside which we have evolved, healing our bodies and expanding our consciousness in ways that allow us to cultivate our healthy, whole, higher selves,” she says.

Every patient with a medical marijuana recommendation from Empathic Practice has access to a mindfulness coach and guided meditation sessions. Other services available include life coaching, health and wellness coaching, massage therapy, Ayurvedic medicine, qigong and yoga.

“We believe the totality of these treatments can make wellness more attainable,” Hass says. “When patients understand their relationship with their emotions a little better, they’ll know how to center themselves and go to the right mindset before using. Mindset and setting are important to any medical treatment, but with medical marijuana, it’s essential. So having that support, having that base, allows them to benefit from what medical marijuana has to offer, whether recommended for pain, anxiety, PTSD or nausea.”

Focus on Wellness

Achieving and maintaining wellness rarely involves a quick, easy solution, and it generally involves leaving our comfort zones, Muñoz says. A simple solution, be it a pill or plant, may not be effective. Dealing with

a poor diet, insufficient sleep, inadequate exercise and high stress from the pace of modern life is essential too.

Zulma Berenice, a Purpose Life coach and holistic health practitioner who works with biomagnetic and bionenergy therapy at Empathic Practice, points out that when mind-body-spirit is at the forefront of all the clinic's day-to-day operations, the benefits are apparent almost immediately.

"This team has set its intention to facilitate the return of health to their patients," she says.

Traditional medicine, as embodied by medications and treatments, makes an admirable attempt to treat ailments, but for many patients, the more vital issues are lifestyle related, Muñoz says. “Behavioral change—the keystone of lifestyle medicine—requires special attention that doesn’t fit into the busy clinical schedule of many providers. But it’s precisely those lifestyle changes that will make medical care cheaper, safer, faster and more productive.”

Golden Almond From ‘Health Food’ to ‘Health Solutions’

by Deborah Clancy

W

hen the Golden Almond Health Store opened in Fort Walton Beach 35 years ago, most people didn’t think of “health food” as good food, and the world of natural supplements and personal-care items was limited to a few brands. Now the Golden Almond reflects a booming industry, with a wide variety of organic foods (including vegan, paleo, keto and gluten-free options), nutritional supplements, CBD oil, herbal tinctures and extracts, natural skincare products, holistic pet products and homeopathics.

In other words, the Golden Almond started out ahead of its time—and owner Brian Mobley is keeping it there.

Mobley began working in operations in the Golden Almond in 2010. By the time he bought the store in 2014, natural and organic foods and beverages alone accounted for $53.5 billion of the U.S. retail market—a 53 percent increase over 2009 sales, according to MarketResearch.com.

“This store has been an absolute joy to watch blossom as the natural health field itself has greatly expanded,” Mobley says. “The product availability we have today is far greater than what was available even five years ago, and the difference in

Natural Awakenings of Northwest Florida

www.NWFNaturally.com

both selection and quality of products is night and day compared to what was available in the ’80s and ’90s.”

The Golden Almond has changed hands several times over 35 years, and every new owner has built on the previous owner’s accomplishments, he says.

“We’ve been fortunate that each owner has maintained a consistent vision and direction of bringing organic solutions and natural products to the community.

In fact, two of the previous owners still work here, so we have three generations of experience to draw from. We each bring a unique perspective to the business, and we’ve poured our hearts into the ultimate mission of the Golden Almond being a health center that this community can trust not only to provide reliable advice, but also to carry the best products that naturally meet customers’ needs.”

Ahead of the Trends

A major trend that the Golden Almond has capitalized on over the past decade is the “giant step forward” in supplement quality, Mobley says. Nutrients are now whole-food derived rather than lab synthesized, and the sheer number of choices allows the store to be selective in the

supplements it offers.

“This has resulted in a high degree of product filtering over the years, as we can move on from some older products that haven’t kept up with the available research and bring in more effective supplement solutions and cleaner foods, with purer ingredient lists,” he says.

Another trend he notes is the evolution of the health food market into the “health solutions” market. Food is still a huge part of that equation, he says, but more customers are coming into the Golden Almond wanting to address specific health concerns.

“Natural supplements, CBD, essential oils, skin care, household products, etc., have grown to be on equal footing with health food itself as people become more aware that what they breathe in and put on their skin ends up inside their body as much as food itself,” he explains.

The Golden Almond is now the largest regional retailer of CBD hemp products, which Mobley calls “revolutionary.”

“It’s a completely plant-based solution for an incredibly wide range of conditions,” he says. “Scores of people have been able to lessen or eliminate their dependence on certain medications that had been causing severe side effects because CBD, especially in combination with other supplements, can now address their issues.

This is especially true of pain and anxiety.”

A new emphasis on personalized solutions allows the Golden Almond to better serve its customers, he adds. “We have more tools now to do health assessments and determine what individuals need, as opposed to just blanket suggestions like one-size-fits-all diets. So there’s a lot more customization in the natural health field than there used to be, and we finally have the products to adapt to that.”

With its knowledgeable staff, healthrelated classes and presentations, and Organic Café and Juice and Smoothie Bar, the Golden Almond has evolved far beyond its origins as a health food store.

It’s now a gathering place for Northwest Florida’s healthy living community.

Clean Eatz Pans Out Tasty Food, Effective Diet Plans Keep Customers Coming

by Jason Drew

A

sk Sam Poppell why he bought a Clean Eatz franchise, and he’ll show you two photos. The first is him in 2015. He weighed 434 pounds and was wearing size 58 pants. The second is him today—a fit-looking 278 pounds, in

size 38 pants. (What you can’t see is his dramatically lower blood pressure and new, medication-free status.) If you want proof that Clean Eatz does what it says it does— changes lives through portion and calorie control and nutrition—Sam Poppell is proof.

Clean Eatz works for two reasons, he says. It offers a long-term path to losing weight and getting healthy while also providing instant gratification: delicious food.

Between its café, featuring wraps and bowls with endless combinations of proteins, carbs, veggies, sauces and seasonings, and its meal plans with a constantly changing menu of heat-and-serve entrées, Clean Eatz makes healthy eating easy and appetizing.

That’s why customers keep coming back.

“One of our sayings around here is ‘Everybody Fitz,’” Poppell says. “I came to Clean Eatz because I was tired of being fat and feeling unattractive. We have tons of customers like that. But we also have customers who love the convenience of ready-to-eat meals that are balanced and healthy, without added junk and preservatives. We have customers who want to bulk as well, and we have extra protein options for that, and custom diet options for anyone and any goal.”

Because he’s been where they are, Poppell’s store offers free lifestyle coaching for customers. “We’ll sit down with them, discuss diet and nutrition, and try to come up with a plan to help them reach their goal. Sometimes people need a little moral and emotional support to be able to stick to their plan. We’re here for that too.”

Location: 1191 Eglin Pkwy. (Shalimar Plaza), Shalimar, FL. For more information, visit CleanEatz.com.

Expanding News Operations, WUWF Keeps Investing in Community

W The more you praise

and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. ~Oprah Winfrey

22 22

by Shawn White

hile local news outlets across the country are cutting operations, WUWF 88.1 FM— Northwest Florida’s National Public Radio (NPR) station—is expanding its local news team. It’s also partnering with other public radio stations across Florida to build a statewide digital news collaborative. That investment shows the deep mutual commitment between WUWF and the community it has served for nearly 40 years.

“Unlike commercial broadcasters, who are beholden to their corporate owners and shareholders, public radio is operated by nonprofit organizations and largely funded by its listeners and civic-minded businesses,” says Executive Director Pat Crawford. “Our primary mission is public service, creating a more informed public through programming that challenges and invigorates them with a deeper understanding and appreciation of events, ideas and cultures. Our vision is to be a model of civility, excellence and relevance, and an engaged partner enhancing the quality of life in Northwest Florida.”

The station’s programming reflects

Natural Awakenings of Northwest Florida NA Edition/Location website address

www.NWFNaturally.com

that vision. Both NPR and WUWF produce news that explores the issues behind events objectively, allowing listeners to draw their own conclusions. WUWF also produces a variety of other shows geared for its unique listenership, like local music feature "Radio Live”; archeological series “Unearthing Florida”; and “The Eco Minute” and “Gulf Stories Moments,” focused on sustainability and the environment.

WUWF’s commitment to the com munity is apparent in other ways, such as its Sightline reading service for the vision impaired, and the significant resources it has dedicated to keeping people informed and safe during natural disasters, Crawford says.

Listeners and local businesses are similarly committed to WUWF, providing nearly half its funding. Federal funds provide just 9 percent.

“There’s a reason we identify ourselves each hour as ‘listener-supported public radio,’” Crawford says. “Without them, we would not exist.”

Repair Damaged, Painful Joints

without Surgery

become damaged from injury or aging. It is more practical, rational and medically preferable to help nature regrow or regenerate the superior biological structures and organs with which we were born.

Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy is one of the most effective modern treatments to help the body heal, regenerate injured tendons and ligaments, and reverse the effects of degenerative joint disease (DJD) and osteoarthritis. This noninvasive procedure harnesses your body’s natural healing potential by introducing new cells in the affected area of the knee, hip or shoulder. These new cells stimulate existing healthy cells and tissues to function at a higher level, boosting the body’s repair mechanisms to facilitate healing. The whole procedure takes approximately 30 minutes and has no known adverse side effects. All of our stem cells are derived from healthy mothers who have given birth at full-term, via C-section.

Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy is one of the safest and most advanced ways to treat a wide variety of injuries and diseases. Patients recovering from injury will improve rapidly after Regenerative Therapy, exhibiting greater mobility and less pain than patients who must undergo the lengthy, traditional process of post-surgical healing and rehabilitation. Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy is not covered by insurance,but is still often more cost effective than what you would have to pay in deductibles with commercial insurance after having orthopedic surgery. Financing is available at our clinic.

o you experience chronic pain in your knees, hands, shoulders or any other joint? Are you tired of always being in pain and taking medications that aren’t helping or have unsettling side effects?

Of all bodily ailments, nothing is more painful and crippling than persistent knee, hip or shoulder pain.

Unfortunately, any damage to the ligaments, cartilage or bone by way of injury or disease (such as osteoarthritis) can cause severe pain and make it difficult for you to walk or partake in your favorite activities.

To help you return to the activities you love, our expert team at Baird Chiropractic & Med Spa now offers Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy. Based on a 21st-century therapeutic procedure, it can relieve shoulder, hip or knee pain without complex surgical procedures or medication.

Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy uses nature’s chemistry and biology to help heal structures, like joints, that have

During stress, the body is primed to resist or escape a threat, and … it’s not going to prioritize restorative activities. laureate Elizabeth Blackburn, it is now understood that prolonged daily stress weakens DNA structures by shortening chromosome-protecting telomeres, a major component in premature cell death and the trigger of genetic, predisposed markers for disease.

Studies by Dr. Owen Wolkowitz, of the University of California, San Francisco, demonstrate the link between shortened telomeres and insufficient response to free radicals, resulting in chronic inflammation, now believed to be the catalyst of most degenerative

Age-Defying Bodywork How to Turn Back the Clock

t has been said that stress kills, and it often can be a slow and premature process, leading to common but avoidable symptoms of decline: impaired memory, loss of mobility, fatigue and decreased libido. Good nutrition, getting enough sleep and staying active contribute to vitality; however, fortifying the nervous system is critical to combating age-accelerating stress hormones like cortisol.

The key to keeping body and mind young may lie in the therapeutic modalities of bodywork, an umbrella term for up to 350 methods that include massage, energy work and meridian-based therapies like acupuncture, shiatsu and reflexology, which can improve quality of life and promote cellular integrity. Once considered a luxury confined to spas and private home sessions, bodywork is moving into the medical mainstream with reputable hospitals like the Memorial Sloan Ket32

tering Cancer Center, in New York City, which offers reiki sessions and instruction for patients and caregivers.

According to a survey by the American Hospital Association, reiki and its close cousin Therapeutic Touch comprise one of three top complementary therapies in American hospitals, along with massage therapy and music. The Arthritis Foundation recommends massage for all types of arthritis and pain syndromes like fibromyalgia, as it can reduce discomfort and stress.

The Chemistry of Premature Aging

Busy lives without enough downtime can set up the body to be in a chronic state of “fight-or-flight”, which compromises cardiovascular health, nutrient absorption, waste elimination and immunity. Thanks to groundbreaking researchers like Nobel

diseases. Psychological stress, according to research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, changes how the body regulates inflammatory response.

“Stress and inflammation cause pain and disease,” says Certified Reflexologist and holistic practitioner Martha Garland, of CreativeSpirit Healing Arts, in Baltimore.

“All of this that we carry in our bodies will make us feel much older than our years.”

Through application of pressure on specific reflex zones on the feet, hands and ears, reflexologists like Garland can help promote the natural flow of bodily functions. “Reflexology, a modality that is separate from massage therapy, reduces the tension, stress and pain that we hold in our feet and in the rest of our body, which can promote longevity and better quality of life,” she says.

Certified craniosacral therapist Margaret Connolly, of Narberth, Pennsylvania, agrees that mental or emotional

strain plays a key role in the aging process.

“During stress, the body is primed to resist or escape a threat, and in that situation, it’s not going to prioritize restorative activities,” she says. Craniosacral therapy (CST) focuses on the cerebrospinal fluid and the meninges surrounding the brain, spinal cord and related connective tissue, and helps the body drop out of excessive fightor-flight mode.

Pain, Serotonin and Substance P

Bodywork and its ability to impact the chemistry of stress has far-reaching effects on most bodily systems. Studies in 2016 from the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine have shown that massage therapy helps to regulate hormones, boost immunity, improve attentiveness and ease the symptoms of depression.

Licensed Massage Therapist Michele Duncan King, of Sea Spell Massage, in Cannon Beach, Oregon, knows firsthand how her work can assist in counteracting the energy-sapping effects of stress.

“When the digestive system doesn’t go into the ‘rest-and-digest’ state via activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, it can affect muscles, joints, organs and hormones. This, along with elevated cortisol, can certainly make us function less optimally, making us feel older and less vibrant.”

Traditional massage modalities such as Swedish, deep tissue, Thai and Lomi Lomi help reduce blood pressure, boost immunity by augmenting natural killer cells, decrease symptoms of depression and support the cardiovascular system.

It can also assist lymphatic movement, which can prevent cold hands and feet and achiness. Massage also raises serotonin and dopamine levels, neurotransmitters that play vital roles in memory, mood regulation and immunity.

Most significantly, higher serotonin levels are linked to lower levels of substance P, a neuropeptide that is central in pain perception. It soars during times of stress, anxiety and insufficient sleep, and has also been linked to tumor growth and inflammatory conditions.

As human beings, touch is so important. ~Anita Bondi

Multidimensional Well-Being

Bodywork can assist the physical body, but it can also be a restorative balm for the emotions and psyche. “As human beings, touch is so important. Massage modalities invite safe, healing touch,” says Anita Bondi, licensed massage therapist and a founder of the Wellspring Holistic Center, in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. “A good therapist will also educate a client about other benefits of a more holistic lifestyle. I believe any time we give ourselves permission to listen to the body’s wisdom and follow its lead, we reduce stress and increase well-being.”

While women are more apt to include bodywork sessions in their health care,

men can be hesitant. Connolly encourages both women and men to experience CST and other modalities. “Sometimes men are a bit nervous about being touched, whether the practitioner is male or female.

Even when open to hands-on therapy, some men believe extremely deep pressure is needed in order to be effective.” Not so, says Connolly, who cites the experience of Mark Bertolini, CEO of the Aetna health insurance company, who credits CST with saving his life when he was contemplating suicide and suffering severe neuropathic pain from a skiing accident.

Menopause and Cognitive Function

CST can also have an impact on women’s hormonal changes. “Very slight movement of tissues near the pituitary gland can exert a subtle pumping motion on the master gland in a way that will facilitate its

ability to produce and release hormones,” explains Connolly.

The therapy is sometimes used in conjunction with acupuncture, which also impacts hormones and works on the brain. A 2018 study by Chinese researchers published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine shows neuronal improvement through acupuncture in both cognitively impaired patients and healthy individuals.

Tools for Life

Most practitioners believe that deriving benefits from bodywork requires consistency, which can support longevity in unexpected ways. Garland says, “What really makes a difference in reducing chronic stress is consistent stress reduction. One session occasionally will feel good and reduce tension temporarily, but will not make a major difference in reducing stress in the long term.” King agrees: “A massage once a month is my recommendation for ideal overall maintenance, and more frequent sessions for specific conditions or goals.”

Research and results confirm that well-being is not a luxury, but a necessity, and puts to rest the idea that bodywork is a guilty pleasure. “The more we do to help ourselves, the better our lives will be as we age,” says Bondi.

ongevity is something most of us strive for, and increasingly, research shows that implementing a consistent yoga practice can be a fruitful investment toward that goal. Yoga is an eight-branch system of well-being that encompasses exercise, meditation, conscious breathing, diet and other elements, but how it effects mind-body fitness alone is proving to be a reliable defense against age-related loss of mobility, cardiovascular disease and depression.

Its stress-busting capabilities help to support challenged adrenal glands and lower elevated blood pressure. Getting on the mat can improve insulin sensitivity in diabetics and also help balance immune responses in individuals with autoimmune conditions or insufficient natural killer cells.

Combined research from 22 studies by the University of Edinburgh reveals that yoga, compared to both sedentary lifestyles and other forms of exercise such as walking or chair aerobics, improved the lower-body strength and flexibility in individuals age 60 and older. The findings published earlier this year in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity

Natural Awakenings of Northwest Florida

www.NWFNaturally.com

also showed improved quality of sleep and fewer symptoms of depression.

Fewer Health Risks, Stronger Bones

Yoga’s inverted poses increase blood circulation to vital organs, including the intestines, which facilitates assimilation of nutrients and waste elimination. Asanas like shoulder stand, bridge and downwardfacing dog stimulate blood flow from the lower extremities to the heart and fortify red blood cells by increasing hemoglobin, guarding against blood clots, stroke and heart attack. Yoga can also strengthen the bones. A 2016 study published in the International Journal of Yoga shows improved bone mineral density in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

“Much like a house that sits empty or a car left to sit unused in a garage, our human parts can age and rot without movement.

Movement creates more energy,” explains Nancy Poole, a teacher at Clarksburg Yoga and Wellness, in Clarksburg, Maryland.

Joints lose flexibility as we age, but yoga movement provides them with essential oxygen, blood and nutrients. Lisa

Each time we show up on our mats, we show up for ourselves, an opportunity to nourish the body, our one and only temple. ~Carmen Ferreira Moore, owner of Free to Be Yoga, in Great Falls, Montana, underscores, “A joint needs to move through its full range of motion to function well. Movement helps lubricate and cushion joints, provides nutrition and removes wastes.”

Stretching Into Joy

A 2014 hatha yoga study published in the Journals of Gerontology revealed increased cognitive function in older adults after eight weeks of yoga three times a week. Yoga’s super power lies in its capacity to reset the autonomic nervous system and ramp up mood-boosting serotonin while decreasing monoamine oxidase, an enzyme that disarms the effects of stress hormones like cortisol. Under the influence of yoga, the brain is bathed in calming neurotransmitters, combatting depression and anxiety, and instilling a sense of optimism.

“Yoga also helps us to embrace the hard times and ride the waves. With the tools that yoga provides, we can swim toward the light. It also helps us to experience a more intimate relationship with body and soul, and in turn make better choices in all aspects of life,” notes Carmen Ferreira, owner of the Sunshine Barre Studio, in Rocky Point, New York.

Moore concurs, advising, “Yoga gives us powerful tools so we may age gracefully. One of them is to manage stress with equanimity.”

“Yoga improves lung capacity and brings more energy to the cells, which in turn creates more energy and life force in our bodies,” says Ferreira. “It helps us to live from the heart’s center and foster a better quality of life,” she adds. “Each time we show up on our mats, we show up for ourselves, an opportunity to nourish the body, our one and only temple.”

Marlaina Donato is an author of several books and a composer.

The Breath of Life

Conscious breathing is at the core of a dedicated yoga practice, and a lowered risk of cardiovascular and respiratory disease gives us another reason to inhale and exhale deeply. Poole observes, “Our general population does not breathe correctly, and many of us even hold our breath unconsciously. For my students, the hardest part of yoga is learning to take deep, full breaths. Old breathing habits must be unlearned. Once attention is given to the breath, tensions can be released.”

This marks the 10th anniversary of the designation by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. National Yoga Month was developed to raise awareness of yoga’s health benefits.
