This month, we’re thrilled to feature the captivating cover, Heart Dreams II, by local artist Janny Taylor. Her life story on page 5 is truly inspiring—she shares how her nomadic childhood shaped the incredible artist she is today.
Here’s to a month filled with love, inspiration and vibrant health!
In honor of the month of love, we’re focusing on heart health. Our feature story, “The Thriving Heart” (page 18), dives into integrative cardiology approaches with insights from Dr. Jack Wolfson, a renowned board-certified cardiologist. Dr. Wolfson emphasizes that true cardiovascular wellness starts with what’s on your plate.
For those looking to move with intention, our Fit Body section on page 16 offers heart-healthy stretches to help you feel grounded and energized.
If you’re like me and love to experiment in the kitchen, you’ll definitely want to check out the recipes in the article “Chocolate Champions” found in our Conscious Eating section (page 22). From a delectable Chocolate Cherry Vinaigrette to a heart-opening drinking chocolate, these recipes are sure to delight.
In Wise Words, Anil Gupta, known as the Love Doctor, shares timeless wisdom, while our inspiration feature (page 14) highlights Deb Beroset, founder of It’s Time For Moxie. Her insights into the building blocks of wholehearted living are not to be missed!
As always, don’t forget to check out our Events Calendar, packed with opportunities to connect with our vibrant, health-focused community.
Lastly, local businesses, now’s the time to reserve your spot in our annual 2025 Health and Wellness Guide, coming in April. Early bird discounts are available until February 12—see page 7 for all the details.
