HELPING KIDS HEAL RANKEN JORDAN PEDIATRIC BRIDGE HOSPITAL by stephanie wallace RANKEN JORDAN PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL is unlike any other hospital in the region. “You won’t find an emergency room, operating suites or I.C.U. spaces,” notes Dr. Nick Holekamp, Chief Health Transformation Officer. “Children who spend long periods of time in the hospital miss out on so many things. Ranken Jordan’s goal is to enrich and engage them through activity, socialization and play. We give them some of their childhood back.” The hospital refers to its treatment model as “Care Beyond the Bedside.” It allows for experiences that more closely mirror school, daycare or home by getting patients out of their rooms and into play spaces, activity areas, therapy rooms and the hospital grounds.

Ranken Jordan is dedicated to helping children with the most complex medical conditions make the transition from hospital care to home. An integral part of the hospital’s approach is play. “Play is a central therapeutic element for a full robust recovery,” Holekamp says. “In most hospital settings, everything is very sterile and isolated.

Kids often are stuck in a bed in a room by themselves. Our campus was designed to facilitate growth and exploration—it’s an adaptive playground inside and out.” The hospital’s campus includes a six-hole putting green, playgrounds, a rock climbing wall and more to encourage patients to spend as much time outside of their rooms as possible.

Ranken Jordan is continually evolving its services to better meet the needs of its patients. It has introduced the Optimization Zone (OZ), a play-based learning program designed for patients under the age of 5. This in-house preschool aims to reduce the adverse developmental impacts that accompany long-term hospitalization

The hospital also has developed a position called Patient Play Associate. These members of staff are dedicated to ensuring kids play and have fun. “We think holistically about the services and support these children need,” Holekamp says. “We’re currently doing research on the benefits of the Care Beyond the Bedside model, and it’s showing promising results for the forward progress kids can make.”

The success of Ranken Jordan’s model is most evident in its patients. One example is J.T. An accomplished athlete, his life changed in an instant during a football game when an accident took him from star player to paralyzed below the neck. “J.T.’s situation came with more than just complex physical and medical needs,” Holekamp explains. “His biggest challenge was overcoming the grief of losing his previous life. Working with our art teacher, he was able to rediscover his preinjury interest in art and began painting by mouth. He now considers himself an artist and is ready to begin the next chapter of his life.”

J.T. will share his story at Ranken Jordan’s annual Beyond Gala.

This year’s event will be held Sept. 26 at The Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza. Guests can look forward to an evening of cocktails, dinner, live and silent auctions, and a celebration of the children the hospital has served. “The gala is our biggest event of the year,” Holekamp says. “It’s always an inspiring and uplifting event. The evening is our chance to celebrate with our patients, their families and the community about the tenacity and courage these kids demonstrate when it comes to overcoming medical adversity.” &

k l a t OF THE TOWNS by bill beggs jr.

cliff cave county park

The invaders are already heeere! But we needn’t arm ourselves or run around shouting and waving our hands in the air above our heads. A grotesque, carnivorous worm with a broad head—known, natch, as a hammerhead worm—was spotted by a woman walking in Cliff Cave County Park in south county near the river early last month, and her photo of the gnarly beast was identified by invasive species experts as native to the tropics but now common in the Southeast. Don’t let the words ‘carnivorous’ or ‘hammerhead’ scare you, as you won’t find one of these gnawing on Aunt Edna’s leg at the family picnic any more than you’d spot a hammerhead shark in the Mississippi. These critters are only interested in dining on invertebrates, such as earthworms, slugs, snails and the like, and are harmless to people and pets. If you see one (some are 20 inches long), experts recommend you kill it before asking for its green card. Attempts to dismember one or crush it may only result in more of the dang things wriggling around,

the metro

Observers west of town, in Wright City and thereabouts, in June reported a bright green flash of light, which NASA reported as a meteor burning up in the atmosphere. A video was shot near Wright City of the object, which scientists say was probably an asteroid chunk estimated to be about three inches across (about baseball-sized), weighed about one pound and was streaking across the sky at roughly 56,000 miles per hour when it hit the earth’s atmosphere and disintegrated. NASA estimates it burned at least a dozen times brighter than Venus.

Anyhow, this was no planet-killer; if it had hit the ground, it would have only left a big hole, maybe even totaled your car. Let’s compare, shall we? The asteroid that struck near the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico 66 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs was six to nine miles across. Evidence of an interstellar collision is as close as Northern Arizona, where there’s an impact crater about three-quarters of a mile wide and 650-700 feet deep that was created by an object about as large as a 15-story building; its velocity at impact, not its size, was what left such a big hole. Maybe only woolly mammoths were around to see or hear it. You see, that was 50,000 years ago, during the Ice Age. Thankfully, the eyes of astronomers are trained on the sky for any close calls or possible collisions in the future, and the solar system is clear for the time being. Last month’s meteor—shooting star, if you will— was a mere blip on the screen. We should all be glad some dedicated scientists are keeping an eye out for us.

as severed parts can regenerate. But since I’m still 12 years old in parts of my aging and addled head, my first reaction wasn’t “Ewww gross!” It was “Whoa, that’s waaay cool!” Photos of some varieties, probably from the rain forest, are brightly colored and some have heads that are more ‘hammery’ than others. I think we should leave well enough alone and welcome our southern migrants to the neighborhood. There’ll probably be plenty more invasive species around here as the planet keeps warming up, experts say. I don’t think we have anything to worry about until piranha plague our rivers.

A mere pittance to a billionaire, the roughly $250 million the City of St. Louis aldermanic board recently decided to allocate as its share of the historic $790 million settlement with Stan Kroenke and the NFL for moving the Rams to L.A. hasn’t just been sitting there for almost four years. It’s been earning beaucoup interest. And after about a third of the grand total going for attorneys’ fees, the metro had around $500 million left to divvy up between the City, County and the Sports Authority, with some mouths watering for another sports team and the like, until May 16, 2025 and the tornado that tore through North St. Louis, severely damaging thousands of homes and businesses. That definitely shuffled the priorities going forward, since tornado recovery was initially estimated at a whopping $1.6 billion, and money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had time constraints and other restrictions. While the majority of ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funds were disbursed before the tornado, being a response to COVID-19 and its economic repercussions, $5 million ALLOCATIONS: remained that was used for initial cleanup efforts. FEMA’s reported support • Northside recovery: $120 million totaled well over $230 million, though those funds were split between • Citywide infrastructure individual aid and large-scale recovery/cleanup operations. FEMA monies improvements, including the water system: $80 million were tied directly to the disaster. Rams settlement dollars did not have such • Downtown revitalization: $55 million limitations. At this writing, Mayor Cara Spencer hadn’t signed off on the bill, but you can see the allocations in the sidebar.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A METEOROID, a meteor and a meteorite?

LAST ISSUE’S Q&A Which seven presidents had First Ladies named Dolley, Sarah, Edith, Bess, Mamie, Laura, Barbara—respectively?

Respectively, the seven presidents who had First Ladies named Dolley, Sarah, Edith, Bess, Mamie, Laura and Barbara, were James Madison, James Polk, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush. Edith Roosevelt was Teddy’s second wife. His first wife, Alice, died a few days after childbirth. As was Abigail Adams hundreds of years before her, Barbara Bush first was spouse of a president (George H.W. Bush), then mother of another (George W. Bush).

st. louis place Since 1988, Lift For Life Gym has been an oasis in a parched landscape of few opportunities and low spirits that characterize neighborhoods on the north side of St. Louis. “This part of the city is neglected,” says Rene Knott, executive director of the nonprofit, located at 1415 Cass Ave. “There isn’t a grocery store for miles.” The closest Schnucks or Dierbergs might actually be across the river in Granite City, Illinois. Sure, residents can get snacks at a gas station or convenience store—along with beer, liquor and cigarettes. But a nutritious meal is not that easy to find. Kids from 8 to 18 are always served a hot meal from the kitchen at the gym, where they can lift weights, play some half-court basketball and, ideally, have their hopes raised.

Knott’s goal is to help mold these youngsters into responsible, accountable adults, who will be better equipped to pass on what they’ve learned to those who come up behind them. “These boys and girls have seen crime, drugs, homelessness,” says Knott. “We try to be a place that’s beyond all that, so they don’t become a victim of their environment. We engage with them, build their confidence and prepare them for the real world.” Some older members have already taken it upon themselves to give back.

Jaylan, 16, approaches Knott, looks a reporter straight in the eye and gives him a firm handshake. As he walks away, Knott smiles and says, “Jaylan is artistic. He’s designing us a new logo.” It should be done by the end of the summer, with a tagline embracing these concepts: ‘Breaking Habits, Building Futures.’

Mentorship is a key responsibility for the gym’s four fulltime staff and eight part-timers. Volunteers, whether social workers

or “just regular folks,” have some skin in the game. That is, they genuinely care for others. “There’s love in this room, and they feel it,” says Knott, whom you may recognize from his 21 years at the mic as a sports reporter and anchor with KSDK-TV (Channel 5). But after he abruptly resigned, a Lift For Life board member reached out. Knott changed horses in the middle of the stream.

After leaving the NBC station in November 2025, he took up the reins at the gym in January. Knott has seen what his friend Jackie Joyner-Kersee has built in East St. Louis, and he dreams of growing his gym here above and beyond serving 50-some kids a day to 100, 200. The kids have the run of an adjacent vacant lot, a grassy expanse owned by developer Paul McKee, who’s allowed the gym to use it. “We do anything we can to socialize a shy child,” says Knott. Many kids deal with food insecurity and challenging health issues, so the gym relies on partners and other outside resources. Plus, most have a legitimate fear of the police. With former StL PD Chief Ron Isom as a member of the board, Knott et al. are addressing that head-on by establishing a meaningful dialogue. Lift For Life has an 11-member squad that participates in as many as four power-lifting competitions annually: These events include bench press, dead lift and squat. For Knott’s part, hosting galas for other organizations is part of the TV personality’s other duties as assigned. He gets to emcee his own gig Oct. 17 at Live! by Loews’ rooftop venue in Ballpark Village.

And he admits to a few butterflies. “This is the first gala I’m doing for me!” he exclaims. “I love our mission.” For more about the gym and its gala, ‘Raising the Bar,’ visit liftforlifegym.org.

fanatics could not be more excited for the World Cup. My husband has been to five across the world. My son has been to three and my daughter two.

I have been to none, but I am going to join my family for one in Kansas City.

You see, even though I have watched more soccer games than I can count, I still don’t understand what off-sides means, and to be honest, I don’t really care. But I do love the World Cup because of the fans.

First let’s talk about Cape Verde.

They played Spain in their first match and tied them. It was amazing. After the game, Cape Verde’s goal keeper looked like he had run a marathon or three. I must admit I did not even know this country existed, but here they

are, an island nation off of the coast of Africia somehow managing to hold strong against Spain in the World Cup. The odds of Cape Verde winning the Cup are dismal, but I now have a strong urge to learn Portuguese and travel there this year.

Then we have Scotland. They won a spot in the World Cup much to the joy of their citizens, who packed up and traveled to Boston and Miami, wearing kilts and drinking the cities dry. The Tartan Army is a sight to behold. Men proudly wearing kilts and ornate belts with their jerseys.

These people are not just ordinary visitors. They sing songs, chant and drink! I always thought the Irish were the ones that could hold their liquor, but the Scottish are the true winners

in any drinking contest. They drank so much beer that bars in Boston ran out, and as one Scottish man said on TV, ‘they were forced to drink Bud Light.’ (Now, I love a Bud Light on a hot summer day, but apparently it is offensive to others.)

Not only did they party like there would be no tomorrow, they placed orange traffic cones on top of statutes in Boston. Apparently, this is done in Scotland, and no one cares.

They danced in the streets with the police officers and got around the law of not drinking alcohol from an open container by putting their liquor in a Starbucks cup. The joy they brought with them was contagious! Oh, and I finally found out what men wear underneath their kilts!

Norway embraced their Nordic heritage and lined up on escalators like Vikings. They took over streets with mobs of people sitting in lines while rowing in sync. And no matter where they went, they cleaned up after themselves. Seriously, visitors whipped out their white plastic trash bags, filled them up and left them next to trash cans. It is like having a house guest strip their beds and start a load of wash before they leave.

So, my family, the whole extended lot of them, will be traveling to Kansas City, Miami, Seattle, Boston and Vancouver to participate in this chaos, and I will dream about all of the places I want to visit across the world and the joy that people have for the beautiful game of soccer.

GIVING BACK Fork in the Road Foundation by stephanie wallace Where did the idea for the Fork in the Road Foundation come from?

It goes back 10 years ago. I met a refugee woman named Mawda Altayan. Every time I would go to her house, she would make incredible food. We had to communicate with Google Translate, but we were able to bond over her cooking. I asked about doing an event where we sold the food. I posted it on Facebook, and about 12 or 14 people showed up. They loved the food, and I started getting questions about doing events at other people’s houses. From there, the idea exploded. It was a way to help immigrant women who didn’t have work experience but had the skills and passion for cooking.

Why the focus on food?

Food is such a great connector. It’s really amazing to see different people come together at our events. They may feel a little nervous or not know what to expect, but once they try the food, it may remind them of something. Suddenly, everyone is talking and connecting. Food is universal, and a great way to start conversation and learn from one another.

For refugee women, cooking can be a way to break down barriers of social isolation or a tool to start over. Food is a beautiful way to bring together the community, find commonalities and build on them.

14 |

| JULY 15, 2026

FOOD BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER. That’s something the Fork in the Road Foundation understands. The nonprofit was founded with the mission of empowering refugee and immigrant women with opportunities to build community and forge a path to success. The organization hosts community suppers, cooking classes, catering events and culinary training to help women chefs turn their passion, culture and cuisine into purpose. T&S spoke with executive director Jessica Bueler to learn more about the Fork in the Road Foundation and its impact.

How have your programs expanded?

We just launched virtual cooking classes. Anybody can sign up online and jump on a Zoom call or watch a recording if they can’t make the live class. We also help immigrant women earn the ServSafe certification. It is a food and beverage safety training program administered by the National Restaurant Association. However, resources are available in limited languages. We translate important documents so they can fully understand the American standards. When women earn those certificates, it makes it easier for them to enter the job market. With emploument, we don’t apply a cookie cutter approach. We try to help individuals meet their goals while working around their unique challenges. For many, this will be the first job they’ve ever had. It really helps them to build independence and chart their own course moving forward.

What do you look forward to for the future?

Last year, we officially became the Fork in the Road Foundation. To date, we have hosted hundreds of events and raised more than $800,000. It’s exciting to see that success, and we’re looking forward to our program being replicated in other communities. No one has a patent on doing good, so we’re happy to share what works with others who are interested. Our goal is to help women find community and earn a meaningful income for their families.

How can people support the Fork in the Road Foundation?

People can go to our website to see all of our future events and cooking classes. If someone is hosting a birthday party, book club or any kind of event with food, we offer catering and provide free delivery. Our chefs also can stay and share their story and about the food. It’s another example of how cooking can be used to connect people. There is so much more we have in common than what divides us. No matter where we come from, we want the same things. The Fork in the Road Foundation was created to give people who have newly arrived in the community an opportunity to succeed and the chance to feel included.

FOR THE COMMUNITY MIDWEST BANKCENTRE

by stephanie wallace WE ALL RELY ON OUR BANKS FOR BASIC NECESSITIES like getting cash from the ATM

and depositing paychecks, but we don’t always think about the integral part they can play in bolstering the local economy. Deposits we make can help fund local businesses through loans, which in turn can create revenue and job opportunities. Midwest BankCentre understands the important role local banks play in anchoring the community, supporting the economy and helping the region remain resilient. For more than 120 years, it has been dedicated to helping St. Louis grow and develop while also offering personalized service to its clients.

One of Midwest BankCentre’s mottos is “It matters where you bank.” Chairman and CEO Orvin Kimbrough notes that it reflects the company’s commitment to being a community bank above all else. Kimbrough himself came to Midwest BankCentre from the nonprofit sector, so that dedication to serving others is central to his leadership. “It’s not really a slogan, but more of a challenge about understanding how access to capital can strengthen the community,” he notes. “When you work with a community bank like Midwest BankCentre, your deposits don’t disappear into a national pool. They stay local and serve real people in real places. People often think carefully about where they shop, invest and donate.

Banking deserves the same consideration.”

Kimbrough notes that for many people, banking is a utility. However, the choice shouldn’t be made lightly.

While many financial institutions have the technology and services needed to cover the necessities, it’s important to consider a bank’s values and reputation. “Most can handle basic consumer and small business needs,” he says. “But you should also think about what you believe a bank should do for its customers and their communities.

Does it donate to nonprofits, support homeownership, help small businesses grow or invest time, talent and resources into the neighborhoods it serves?

Your bank should help move the community forward.”

As technology advances and the world becomes increasingly more digital, Midwest BankCentre remains committed to providing the community personalized service and a sense of real connection.

While technology makes banking from anywhere possible, Kimbrough notes that the service behind that convenience is more important than ever. “We leverage technology so customers can do more, but it never replaces the human connection,” he explains.

“Being a neighborhood bank is not just about having a physical TOM KOON, ORVIN KIMBROUGH location, it’s about being accessible just a branch; it’s a community hub,” Kimbrough says. to people. Our clients are our neighbors. We offer a level of local knowledge that can “We’re strategic about where we place brick-and-mortar be especially valuable when making financial decisions. locations. It’s not about square footage, but reaching Technology can process a transaction, but it can’t people and having a stake in local growth.”

This year, Midwest BankCentre is celebrating its 120th replace relationships.” anniversary in the St. Louis region. Kimbrough credits Midwest BankCentre’s dedication to serving local the company’s continued success to not losing sight of neighborhoods is evidenced by its new Frontenac its founding vision of building up neighborhoods and branch. The location serves as a central hub for the bank’s contributing to the vitality of the region. This includes services, including the accessibility and convenience of a showing up by working with local nonprofits, making drive-thru for quick service as well as space for clients to strategic investments and more.

“Banking products, meet one-on-one with their bankers. “Frontenac is not technology and customer expectations have changed, but the heart of the bank has remained connected to the community,” he says. “We’ve adapted, but we’ve never lost sight of who we serve or why we exist—to help our region thrive. Communities don’t endure because of convenience. They endure because of commitment.”

Looking to the future of banking, Kimbrough is certain that Midwest BankCentre is ready to meet the changing needs of the community. While the field will continue to evolve, becoming more digitally and technologically driven, he notes that these changes also mean that customers will come to expect more from financial institutions. “Accross the field, we’ve seen the closure of 76% of bank branches since 1984, and another 27% are expected to close in the next 10 years,” he says. “It’s not just about speed, convenience and a seamless experience.

Nothing will replace the trust, judgment and personal relationships of community banks. Midwest BankCentre will continue to show up for the communities it serves.

We’re willing to do the work to see this region grow.” &

PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING INNOVATION The University of Missouri–St. Louis (UMSL) is doing its part to increase the nation’s production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). In partnership with the API Innovation Center, the university received more than $1 million in federal funding to support the development of the API Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Hub on UMSL’s campus. The initiative is designed to strengthen and innovate domestic production of APIs, including reshoring production of five essential generic ones: propofol (sedation and anesthesia), bupivacaine (local anesthetic), albuterol (asthma and COPD treatment), metoprolol (cardiovascular treatment) and lorazepam (anxiety and seizure disorders). “This funding empowers UMSL and our partners to advance innovative manufacturing technologies, protect public health and build a highly skilled workforce for the future,” chancellor Kristin Sobolik says.

EARLY CANCER DETECTION Currently, endometrial cancer diagnosis requires an invasive biopsy that comes with the risk of false negatives.

Researchers at Washington University and Siteman Cancer Center have found an imaging method that could provide accurate, noninvasive detection of precancerous lesions and early cancers. The team used optical coherence tomography (OCT), which detects differences in how tissue reflects light and acquires high-resolution 3D images. With a custom probe, it was able to create an optical biopsy by taking images of the entire endometrial cavity. “With our three-dimensional OCT imaging system combined with machine learning, we can image the entire endometrial cavity in two to three seconds and may have a potential to achieve higher sensitivity than random biopsy sampling,” says Quing Zhu, the Edwin H. Murty Professor of Engineering at the WashU McKelvey School of Engineering.

LEADER IN PEDIATRICS Saint Louis University Professor of Pediatrics Dr. Ajay Jain has earned the St. Louis Metropolitan Medicine Award of Merit. Jain was recognized for his work in pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, including research, clinical innovation and physician leadership. Jain serves as chief of the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, and he has a secondary appointment in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology. He also serves as president of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition. “It is genuinely humbling,” he says. “Being recognized by colleagues in this community means a great deal to me. This award feels less like an individual honor and more like recognition of the work we have done together, focused on improving care for children and advancing scientific medicine.”

COMBATING GUT PATHOGENS Researchers at WashU Medicine have identified a shared vulnerability across gut pathogens. The discovery could lead to a single vaccine against E. coli, Shigella and other causes of severe diarrhea. The study found that diarrhea-causing pathogens rely on three closely related enzymes to get through the gut’s protective mucus layer and cause infection.

The team was able to use antibodies to target these enzymes and block the bacteria from penetrating the intestines.

“These bacteria have evolved right alongside us, and they’ve gotten very good at breaching our defenses,” says Dr. James M. Fleckenstein, a professor of medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases and co-senior author on the study. “If we can block that first step, we have a chance to stop these infections before they ever take hold.”

STAY STRONG

health&lifestyle

BY STEPHANIE WALLACE

Muscle mass and strength naturally decline with age. However, there are steps you can take to remain strong and healthy. Staying active is your best bet, but proper nutrition also plays an important role. Here are some ways your diet can help you maintain healthy muscles as you age.

PROTEIN

VITAMIN D

When it comes to supporting muscles, protein is king. The body breaks it down into amino acids, which repair and build muscle. There are nine essential amino acids that our body does not synthesize on its own. Proteins that contain all of them are known as whole or complete proteins. The amino acid leucine plays an especially important role in triggering muscle growth.

Vitamin D also plays an important role in maintaining muscle. It acts as a hormone that is essential for muscle function, strength and development. It binds to receptors directly in muscle cells to regulate protein synthesis, mitochondrial energy production and neuromuscular coordination. A vitamin D deficiency often leads to weakness, aches and reduced athletic performance.

As we age, we need more protein. Older adults often experience anabolic resistance, which lowers the body’s ability to break down and synthesize it. More is needed to prevent age-related muscle loss. The recommended daily allowance of protein for adults is 0.8 grams per kilogram of weight, but according to Harvard Health, a daily intake of one to 1.3 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is recommended for older adults. This translates to roughly 79 to 103 grams daily for a 175-pound person. To maximize muscle preservation, spread your protein intake evenly across meals.

In older adults, vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of falls and dynapenia, the age-related loss of muscle strength.

According to Harvard Health, research found that people were 70% more likely to develop dynapenia when they had below normal vitamin D levels. Deficiency can be avoided through careful sun exposure, diet or taking a supplement.

MU S C LESU P P O RT ING FO O D S COW’S MILK: Protein called whey is found in cow’s milk. It’s often extracted and turned into protein powder. Milk also contains leucine and vitamin D. If cow’s milk isn’t an option, fortified soy alternatives also can help thanks to added calcium and vitamins A and D.

CHICKEN: Poultry is a great source of protein.

It can be especially beneficial because it contains all nine essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair and optimal health. Lean cuts of beef and pork also are good sources of protein.

TOFU: If you’re looking for a plant-based alternative to animal products, tofu and other soy-based products are good options. A half cup of tofu has 21.8 grams of protein, and it contains all nine essential amino acids. Tofu also contains heart-healthy fats, calcium, iron and manganese.

EGGS: A standard large egg contains around

hues may not be high in protein, but they do contain beta-carotene. Known as a carotenoid, these antioxidants have been found to support muscle health in older adults. Research shows that adults between 65 and 85 who ate more fruits and vegetables had stronger grip strength. Carrots, red bell peppers and tomatoes also have beta-carotene.

BROCCOLI: Cruciferous vegetables, which also

include cauliflower, cabbage, kale and Brussels sprouts, have shown promise in protecting muscle.

While they may not be sources of protein, they contain complex carbohydrates, antioxidants and vitamins A, C and K.

WATER: Research shows that hydration impacts

muscle health, and older adults have a higher risk for dehydration. The National Academy of Medicine recommends about nine cups per day for women and 13 cups for men, ages 51 and over. At least aim to meet the standard eight-cup goal each day.

rowing up, our piano sat in the center of our great room. Surrounded by lush sofas, layered drapery and the warmth of family life, it became much more than an instrument. It was where we gathered, where we listened and where I often found a moment of quiet in an otherwise busy world.

Looking back, I realize that room taught me something important about design. The most memorable spaces are not defined solely by what we see—they are shaped by what we hear and how they make us feel.

Music has always played an important role in our lives. It influences mood, evokes memories, reduces stress and creates connection. Long before streaming services and wireless speakers, music was often at the heart of the home. A piano in the living room, records spinning in the background and family gathered together created an atmosphere that was both comforting and meaningful.

Today, we are witnessing a fascinating evolution in design. Vintage is returning in a meaningful way, paired seamlessly with sophisticated technology. Record players, treasured pianos and curated vinyl collections are finding their place alongside hidden speakers, integrated sound systems and smart-home technology. Sound is no longer an afterthought—it is becoming an intentional layer of design.

This shift was evident at Milan Design Week, where designers explored sound, sensory experiences and immersive environments as essential components of modern living. The conversation extended beyond furnishings and aesthetics to how spaces influence mood, well-being and human connection through all of the senses. As homes increasingly serve as places to work, entertain, recharge and connect, designers are paying greater attention to more than just how a room looks.

At the same time, our homes are expanding beyond four walls. Indoor and outdoor living spaces are blending together more effortlessly than ever before. Music now travels from family rooms to terraces, outdoor kitchens and poolside lounges, creating a continuous experience that connects people and spaces. Thoughtfully designed environments can offer moments of calm and restoration in our increasingly busy lives.

The future of interior design is becoming more immersive. We are designing not only for beauty, but also for experience. Music contributes to our well-being, enhances entertaining and helps define how a space is used. A room that sounds beautiful often feels beautiful as well.

FAITH’S DESIGN NOTES:

▪ Incorporate curved seating arrangements that encourage conversation and connection.

▪ Layer custom rugs, upholstered furnishings and drapery to soften acoustics and reduce echo.

▪ Create a dedicated listening corner or music room, even if it’s simply a comfortable chair, excellent lighting and a favorite playlist.

▪ Blend vintage and modern by pairing record players, pianos or heirloom instruments with discreet technology.

▪ Consider speakers as part of the design. Today’s options can be integrated into millwork and shelving or even disguised as artwork.

▪ Extend music outdoors with thoughtfully placed speakers that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living spaces.

As designers, we spend a great deal of time considering color, scale, texture and light. Yet some of the most meaningful moments happen when music fills a room, conversations linger a little longer and a space simply feels right. The future of interior design is not just visual—it is experiential. It is about creating homes that engage all the senses.

Because long after we leave a beautiful room, we often remember how it made us feel—and sometimes, the music that filled it.
