It's astonishing how quickly time flies when you’re having fun. That being exactly what we’ve been doing all year 

long here at Healthy Magazine. Our team went out and spoke to dozens of experts, met new and interesting people 

and reached out to stores, businesses, physicians, therapists, and experts from all walks of life to bring you the best 

information possible. 

We dedicated a whole issue to the men in your lives. Everything from innovative exercise and beauty routines 

aimed at men, to how to consistently maintain a fashionable and attractive look. Furthermore, including some signs, 

symptoms, and preventative practices of common diseases to keep the men in your life, young and healthy. 

For the women, we constantly highlighted positive role models who positively demonstrated the importance of 

fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Along with several articles on women's physical and mental health. Even highlighting 

essential and conventional practices on aging gracefully and managing stress on a daily basis. 

In between, we gave a few nods to the changing seasons; helped get you and your family ready for Spring, Summer, 

and Fall. Making sure that we kept up with the various demands that arise in each time of year. From getting the kids 

up and occupied in the summer while keeping you relaxed and in control in periods of stress and chaos. 

As cabin fever struck we included tips and tricks to help you bring a little light and warmth indoors with a few 

simple, easy, and inexpensive ideas to add some fun to every room in your house. 

We don’t like to toot our own horn, but we could not be prouder of the work we did and the ideas we shared with 

each of you over the past twelve months. As always, we endeavor to bring you the most up-to-date health data 

and share innovative ideas to help you ease into new phases of your life. Giving you outlets to relax in style, hit the

TOLSTOY ON 

TRUTH-TELLING 

I 

have occasion once or twice a year to read a classic piece of 

Russian literature called The Death of Ivan Ilych. If you haven’t 

read it, perhaps you owe it to yourself. Just don’t read it on a 

rainy, dark day when your spirits are low. It is a tragic piece from 

the pen of Leo Tolstoy about a man who dies in a conspiracy of 

lies, truth withheld, and demoralizing pretense. 

The reason I was reading this piece was to lead yet another group 

of students through a discussion of the complex issues around 

informed consent in medical care. Or, to couch it more broadly still, 

we were going to discuss the issue of truth-telling and respect for 

human beings. 

In case you don’t know the story, it is the fictional account of a man 

whose illness is clearly taking him to the grave. But his wife enters a 

conspiracy with his physician to keep the truth from him. They tell 

him, “Oh, you are looking better today” – when he clearly is not. They 

say, “The treatment is working” – when they know it is not. They 

pretend that he cannot know the obvious about himself. 

So Ivan Ilych dies with great anger toward those who should have 

given him the greatest comfort. He felt alienated and alone when he 

most needed the assurance of closeness and love. He had to suffer 

without comfort from the physicians he needed to trust and the 

family whose love he craved. 

Okay. Enough of the literature survey! Let’s turn to the reality of life 

as you and I must live it every day. Whether it is bad news from the 

doctor, rejection by a friend, or one’s fragile job status at work, truth 

is a fundamental right. 

Maybe some don’t want to tell a painful truth for 

the sake of genuine compassion that recoils from 

causing upset and anguish of heart. That is fully 

understandable. But what happens when the truth 

does come? From a stranger? That they will discover 

you knew all along? Then the pain is even greater. 

Truth-telling need not be confused with truth-dumping. There is a 

way to tell the truth that honors compassion and concern. Yet the 

ethical duty of giving me the truth to which I am entitled entails 

the risk that putting it in my possession will indeed cause pain. Just 

stand there. Or sit with me. Or walk through it with me. Ethics and 

compassion, truth and love – they should never be strangers. 

Perhaps the bottom-line issue with 

telling the truth is always respect for 

the other person. The Golden Rule, 

after all, is about treating the other 

person as you would want them to 

treat you. Correct? So perhaps the 

question is not always whether but 

how to communicate the truth – 

lovingly, prayerfully, kindly. As Ivan 

Ilych realized, it is better to be loved 

in the context of painful truth than 

to be treated with such disrespect 

that no one can be trusted. 

“JUST SAY A 

SIMPLE, ‘YES, 

I WILL,’ OR 

‘NO, I WON’T.’ 

ANYTHING 

BEYOND THIS 

IS FROM THE 

EVIL ONE” 

(MATTHEW 5:37 NLT).

"Children who 

grow up feeling 

loved deeply 

becm adult who 

are prewired to 

love deeply." 

-Karen Salmansohn


IT’S IMPORTANT FOR 

PARENTS TO SUPPORT 

THEIR KIDS SO THEY FEEL 

SAFE TO EXPRESS THEIR 

EMOTIONS. 


HEALTHY KIDS 

I recently spoke with psychiatrist and 

good friend Dr. Joshua Straub about the 

importance of raising emotionally healthy 

kids. You can listen to our conversation in 

the player above. 

It’s not necessarily a topic we as parents 

dwell on intentionally, but it is vitally 

important to be aware of the do’s and don’t’s 

so your child can develop into an emotionally 

healthy adult. 

01 ENCOURAGE 

FEELINGS WITH RULES. 

Children need to have the freedom to 

feel what they feel – whether or not we as 

parents like what they’re feeling. They need 

to learn appropriate feelings to go with life’s 

circumstances. Good parents show their 

children how to express their feelings in a 

healthy way and how to identify them. 

CHILDREN NEED TO HAVE 

THE FREEDOM TO FEEL 

WHAT THEY FEEL. 

In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Josh and 

I talk about how moms and dad can help 

their child identify and label their feelings, 

regulate them and respond appropriately. 

For example: If your child has a dog that 

dies, your child should be allowed to grieve. 

If your son gets hit at school, he’s allowed to 

feel angry, but he is NOT allowed to hit back. 

Children must learn that when they express 

feelings, there are certain rules that have to 

be followed. 

02 DON’T ALWAYS TRY TO 

FIX YOUR CHILD’S FEELINGS. 

Many times, children need to be given the 

freedom to feel emotions without being 

encouraged to change them. As parents, 

we can watch our children experience hard 

emotions like grief, anger or bitterness, and 

we will want to change those feelings for 

them. Sometimes we are so uncomfortable 

with our kids’ feelings that we communicate 

to them that they shouldn’t feel what they’re 

feeling. It’s incredibly important for us not to 

do that, but support our children so they feel 

safe to express their emotions – and not feel 

like we are trying to fix them. 

03 DON’T TELL YOUR 

CHILDREN THAT THEY 

SHOULDN’T FEEL A CERTAIN 

WAY. 

Nothing makes a child feel more frustrated 

than when you discredit how they are 

feeling. Some of you may have memories 

of growing up where a parent told you that 

you shouldn’t feel a certain way because it 

was dumb or stupid, i.e. “Why would you be 

so upset over ____, that’s such a silly/stupid 

thing to be upset about”. It’s very important 

for us as parents to affirm our children’s 

feelings, let them express them and never 

tell them that they should or shouldn’t feel a 

certain way. They feel what they feel – and we 

can’t regulate that. 

Your child’s emotions are real and should be 

acknowledged without trying to be changed. 

Parents may disagree with a child’s emotional 

reaction and try to tell them it’s silly to feel 

that way but when you do this, your child is 

hearing that they are wrong to have those 

feelings and in turn, they doubt their ability 

to react in a healthy matter. Let your child 

react – and if you believe they are being 

unreasonable, you can revisit their reaction 

a week or so after the fact and talk through 

it with them when they are calm. Go back 

over the situation and ask them if they think 

their reaction was appropriate. Ask them 

questions about how they think they should 

respond in future, rather than telling them 

how to feel or react. 

Children will mature in their feelings and 

learn to regulate their reactions over time. 

Oftentimes, an overreaction is simply a sign 

of immaturity – which they will outgrow 

eventually. We cover each of these points and 

more in my latest podcast episode, so listen 

when you can. I know it will encourage and 

inform you in this area!

THE WORKING 

MOM’S GUIDE 

TO HEALTHY 

SCHOOL 

LUNCHES 

I am going to be the first to admit that I hate 

packing lunches. Due to the fact that I am big 

advocate of healthy eating, school lunches are not 

an option. However, packing lunches can be such a 

pain! My daughter will eat just about anything, but 

my son is a whole different story. I want to make 

sure both my children get healthy school lunches, 

so sometimes I have to get a bit creative. There 

are still days when my son does not even touch 

his lunch, but we are making progress. Thankfully, 

I have found some tips that have made packing 

lunches much more enjoyable. 

GET THE 

KIDS 

INVOLVED 

We have a few 

cookbooks that 

I let the kids 

look through 

to plan their 

weekly meals. My 

daughter is much 

more into the 

practice than my son, but he has tried a few 

things. By getting the kids involved in the 

planning process, they are more likely to 

try something new. My daughter also gets 

involved when it comes to packing her lunch. 

She is pretty good about picking healthy 

meal options. She is also learning to use 

knives and has fun slicing her own apples. 

HAVE A 

ROTATING 

MENU 

Simplicity is the 

name of the 

game! Just like our 

weeknight meals, 

we try to keep 

our lunches pretty 

simply. However, 

variety is nice as well. My son would eat the 

same thing every single day, but my daughter 

has a more advanced taste buds. 

UTILIZE 

LEFTOVERS 

Leftovers make 

packing lunches 

so much easier. I 

like to make a big 

batch of soups and 

stews to have for 

lunch throughout the week. We also utilize 

the leftovers from Taco Tuesday to make 

quesadillas or build your own tacos. I try 

to plan at least one or two meals at dinner 

that will have leftovers that we can use 

throughout the week. We are a big fan of 

chicken salad and like to use leftover chicken 

to make up a batch. 

MAKE 

YOUR OWN 

SNACKS 

My kiddos love 

their treats, just 

like any other kid. 

However, I am not 

a fan of processed 

sugars and all of 

the fake ingredients 

that are in the convenience foods today. I 

like to get the kids in the kitchen to make 

their own snacks. One of our all-time 

favorites is granola. You can just put in a 

container to be eaten plain or add yogurt 

and use the granola as a fun topping. 

GET AN 

AWESOME 

LUNCH BOX 

I recently came 

across a new 

company called 

FlexiFreeze that I 

am so excited to 

share with you! 

We are all about 

cleaner living and absolutely love that this 

company is using water to keep things cool 

versus a host of chemicals. I was never a fan 

of the blue goo, but I needed a way to keep 

the kids lunches cool. We live in Florida 

afterall! 

We put the lunch coolers to the test and 

were thrilled with the results. The cooler has 

a built in zip off lid that you put in the freezer 

the night before. My son was easily able to 

take the lid off and on, which is an added 

bonus. According to him, his food was still 

cold and fresh at lunch.

HOW MY 

CHILDREN 

BECAME MY 

MOTIVATION 

Even as a young child, I have always 

been self-motivated. I am constantly 

setting goals in order to step outside of 

my comfort zone. Lately, my health and 

fitness goals have been on the back burner. 

My family had a pretty crazy couple of 

months and I had to shift my priorities 

around a bit. I still exercised, but not in the 

way that I needed to in order to function 

at my full potential. Those of you that 

workout on a regular basis know what I am 

talking about. If I am being honest with 

myself, and all of you, I was making up a list 

of excuses that were not justified. Today, 

my children became my motivation to lace 

up my running shoes and get back at it. 

While I constantly strive to inspire them, 

today they inspired me. 

NO MORE EXCUSES 

This morning, I told my family that I was 

finally going to go on a run. A few minutes 

later, I changed my mind. I knew it was 

going to be terribly hot and I also knew 

that my body was in no shape to deal with 

the run or the heat. For a long while, I 

was averaging about 20 miles a week and 

I was now down to 0. My legs have some 

catching up to do! I have been doing a 

little bit of strength training and yoga, so 

at least I have not been too lazy. However, 

I knew that a good run was going to 

challenge me to the core and I was not 

sure I had it in me today. In fact, I have not 

had it in me for the last month or so now. 


EVERYTHING CHANGED 

As I was sipping my coffee, I announced that 

I was going to skip my run. I felt like enjoying 

my coffee and reading a book. A lazy Sunday 

morning is something I do not get very 

often, especially lately. My daughter quickly 

reminded me that I had been making a lot of 

excuses about running. Yes, she called me 

out! She also let me know that “excuses get 

you nowhere in life”. I was glad to learn that 

she actually listens to the words that come 

out of my mouth. However, those words 

stung knowing that they were coming out of 

the mouth of a ten year-old. They stung even 

more knowing she was right! 

REINFORCEMENTS 

After my conversation with my daughter, 

my son came up to my with a copy of a Zig 

Ziglar book and told me that I needed to get 

out there and run. We have adopted, per my 

son’s request, a no stinkin’ thinkin’ mindset 

in our home. He recently discovered Zig and 

loves listening to his motivational speeches 

on YouTube. I have to say, he was right! I 

had adopted a negative attitude and had 

convinced myself it was much easier to make 

excuses versus conquer my fears. 

BACK ON THE PAVEMENT 

There was no way I could not head out on 

my morning run at that point. What kind of 

example would I be setting for my kids? We 

always tell them that winners never quit and 

quitters never win. How could I just throw in 

the towel after all the work my husband and I 

have done to teach our children to never give 

up? So, I laced up my running shoes and hit 

the pavement. It was ridiculously 

hot and humid in the Florida 

sun, but I did it! 

I was drenched in sweat and my lungs were 

burning. I wanted to quit at mile 3 and 

then again at mile 4. Again, I knew that I 

could not stop. There was no way I could 

walk in the door and tell my kids, especially 

my son, that I had quit. I knew I had to 

finish those 5 miles, regardless of how tired 

I was. I felt like my kids were running along 

side of me, motivating me to finish each 

mile. Each time my feet hit the pavement, 

I thought of my kids. I was running for 

them. 

MY MOTIVATION 

Lately, my children have become my 

motivation to be the best version of myself. 

As my daughter is entering her tween 

years, I want to be the best example that I 

can for her. My son is starting to develop 

into a little man and has a lot to learn 

about life. My husband and I have worked 

hard over the years to install good values 

in our children. We have always been 

their cheerleaders for anything that want 

to accomplish. I have to say, it is quite 

refreshing to have the tables turned. 

There are days in which I feel like 

I have failed at this parenting gig. 

Today was not one of those days. 

This morning I felt like I was the best 

parent on the planet. The truth is, 

we are all the best parents on the 

planet in the eyes of our children. 

However, just like all of you, I need a 

reminder every now and then. That 

reminder couldn’t have come at a 

better time.

"Doing what 

you like 

is freedom. 

Liking what 

you do is 

happiness."

COVER STORY · SEPTEMBER 2017 

“True passion is the key to success”, said Dr. Ramon Castellanos, 

responsible for spearheading the creation of his highly acclaimed 

Regenerative Medicine Institute called StemCell Miami, located 

in the heart of the sundrenched city of 

Miami, Florida. 

Throughout history, many famous scientists 

working in the field of medicine were 

first considered to be healers, teachers, 

researchers and even inventors. But where 

would we be without their contributions 

to our health? The science of medicine 

has been greatly advanced by their 

discoveries, working alone or on teams, all 

becoming true pioneers in their respective 

fields, remembered for their research, 

perseverance and most of all, for their 

passion. Many of these celebrated physicians 

have eliminated a multitude of diseases and 

added their invaluable input to the body of 

medical knowledge and thus, for the benefit 

of humanity in general. However, the future 

of traditional medicine is about to take 

another major leap, with the implementation 

of ground-breaking Stem Cell therapy 

advances. 

In the case of the highly coveted StemCell 

Miami Institute, it was Dr. Castellanos’ true 

passion in the field of Regenerative Medicine 

(and especially the clinical application of 

stem cell treatments), that have successfully 

positioned him, not only as a true pioneer 

in this new medical arena, but also what 

quickly sparked the attention of his 

current StemCell Miami business 

partner and company CFO, Ingrid 

Machado for the last five years. 

The two first met over six years 

ago, while Dr. Castellanos had 

his successful pain management 

practice at Mercy Hospital in 

Miami. However, Mrs. Machado’s 

successful entrepreneurial skills 

came into “full gear” when Dr. 

Castellanos first exposed her 

to his true passion: Autologous 

Adult Stem Cells, a medical 

treatment that is now being 

heralded around the globe as 

“the future of modern medicine.” 

Dr. Ramon Castellanos, Medical Director 

and Ingrid Machado, CEO

COVER STORY · SEPTEMBER 2017 

“I saw his face light 

up when he started 

to explain to me 

the miracle of stem 

cells” claimed Machado, 

who quickly decided to put 

all the necessary resources 

together to implement 

what is now considered, 

one of the premier stem 

cell institutes in the world. 

The unparalleled medical 

expertise provided by Dr. 

Castellanos, mixed with 

the top-notch business 

savvy qualities possessed 

by Machado have proven 

to be in perfect tandem. 

Not only is this Miami based institute 

now world-renowned, but Dr. Castellanos’ 

creation of numerous medical instruments 

(like his patented E-Needle), his powerful 

supplements (like their C-Stem34) and his 

latest patented technique called Prometheus, 

all together have become the “key factors” 

for major Hollywood celebrities and even 

top-tier athletes (from around the globe) 

to want to come visit StemCell Miami, all 

in search to find a solution to their (often 

considered untreatable) medical conditions. 

While StemCell Miami specializes in the 

clinical application of stem cell therapies for 

orthopedic conditions and Dr. Castellanos 

possesses a very impressive set of medical 

credentials, including: Double Board 

Certified by the American Academy of 

Medical Specialties in Physical Medicine 

& Rehabilitation and Interventional 

Pain Management, as well as Assistant 

Professor of Neurological Science at Florida 

International University and internships 

/ fellowships at top ranking universities 

including: The State University of New York 

/ Health Science Center at Stony Brook and 

Cornell University. StemCell Miami is also 

strategically located in the center of Miami, a 

city that has become a true amalgamation of 

people from around the world and thus, Mrs. 

Machado became responsible for completely 

reconfiguring their top-notch team of 

medical experts to possess the ideal skill-set 

and also become a fully bilingual staff (now 

currently fluent in: English, Spanish, Russian 

and Portuguese). This multi-lingual staff is 

perfectly well-suited to be able to effectively 

serve the needs of the multicultural clientele 

that visits this state-of-the-art institute on a 

daily basis. 

In addition, StemCell Miami is also in the 

process of becoming a ground-breaking stem 

cell research center, fulfilling the abundant 

need to provide proper validation & clinical 

research results of their unparalleled 

treatment outcomes with Stem Cell 

therapies. Their medical team (that now also 

possesses a variety of medical specialties) is 

currently strongly focusing on conducting 

numerous case studies & upcoming clinical 

trials with their extensive patient base, in 

order to publish their unmatched findings on 

various medical journals & also present them 

at major medical conferences around the 

globe in the very near future. 

In order to maximize the full exposure of 

the amazing outcomes being accomplished 

at StemCell Miami, Miss Machado also took 

up the challenge of hiring a multi-lingual 

marketing team, to strategically create an 

impressive advertising effort that includes 

a strong presence in multi-media channels, 

including: multiple print media venues, TV, 

radio and Social Media channels, basically 

encompassing a strong media presence 

to properly position this world acclaimed 

institute accordingly. 

Furthermore, Machado added: 

“Technological advances are changing 

the way we see patients from around 

the globe, so we will soon implement 

virtual consultation type technology (a 

term sometimes called Telehealth or 

Telemedicine) that will allow the opportunity 

to exchange medical information between 

two parties, usually at different locations, 

with the goal of improving health and also 

avoiding for numerous out-of-town patients 

to have to travel to Miami for their initial 

consultation and/or for their follow up visits, 

after their procedure is completed.” 

Finally, StemCell Miami is also conducting 

a series of free in-person / educational 

seminars at their institute (offered every 

last Saturday of each month) that cover 

the full gamut of services provided, 

treatment options available and also offers 

a comprehensive tour of their elegant & 

modern facility to all the attendees. 

So if you, a family member, or friend would 

like to be evaluated to find out if Stem Cell

HOW TO 

MAKE YOUR 

HOME LOOK 

LIKE IT'S 

SUMMER 

ALL YEAR- 

ROUND 

Everyone loves summer. The sun, 

warmth, reverie, family events just 

speak to our human emotion. They 

give off sunshine on the cloudiest 

day. So, it only makes sense that someone 

would want to capture that spirit and keep it 

going all year-long. According to the calendar, 

the summer months are coming to an end, 

but they don’t have to. There’s a budgetfriendly 

solution to keep that sunshine no 

matter what month it is and no matter where 

you live. 

We’ve got great solutions and tips to help 

you keep that fun vibe going for months to 

come. The end of August is the perfect time 

to spruce up your drab décor and prepare 

for a fun-filled adventure, right in your own 

home. Prices are being slashed as stores 

prepare for sweater weather. You can get 

great deals to refresh, rejuvenate, and spice 

up your home. It’s a good time to bring some 

of the outdoors in. 

Here are a few quick and easy tips to get you 

started: 

Give your home a good, old-fashioned 

spring cleaning to spruce it up and get you 

motivated to move on to the next phase. 


Touch up 

blemishes 

with a fresh 

coat of 

paint. Patch 

holes, Spackle 

a section. 

Every little 

bit helps to give 

your home a facelift. 

To keep it on the summer color 

wheel, choose bright, uplifting colors to 

warm your space up. 

How about 

adding 

a pop of 

color to an 

accent wall 

or adding 

bright color in the form of pillows, 

shams, curtains. And don’t forget the 

ceiling! Paint the ceiling a bright, summerlike 

color. 

Plants. Plants. 

Plants. For the love 

of all that is summer, 

add some greenery and 

vibrant flowers to your 

indoor décor. Trust us, 

adding cacti, a palm tree, or 

any of your favorite plants 

will add fun and life to any 

room. 

Another way to 

add nature to 

your home is the 

abundance of fruit 

that’s available 

this time of 

year. Set up a few 

fruit bowls where 

people gather in 

your home. Fill it with your favorite citrus 

fruits, delicious berries, and any of your 

favorite fruits. Don’t forget to eat them too. 

They’re so good for you. 

What better way to make a 

quick change than rearranging 

the furniture. Why not create a 

welcoming environment by creating several 

seating areas for guests to gather? Moving 

one large piece of furniture could really open 

a space up and create a whole new vibe. Try it 

for yourself! 

Grab some 

of the great 

end-ofsummer 

deals 

and get creative 

with them. 

Don’t forget the plethora of 

citrus candles that are available 

this time of year. While you’re at 

it, pick up a few floral scented, fruit scented, 

and cool summer breeze scent candles to 

create a summertime ambiance. 

Colorful pillows, 

blankets, beach 

towels, and 

hammocks 

add the final 

summertime pop. Have at it and 

let’s make every day feel like summer.

Minimalism is sweeping the world in a refreshing 

wave of less. It is an idea that's very close to my 

heart. Five years ago, before I knew it was called 

‘minimalism,' before there were documentaries 

and a thousand other blogs on the subject, 

getting rid of the excess in my home saved my 

motherhood. 

If you find yourself in this place, sister, let me 

encourage you to press pause. 

 

Why are you doing this? 

 

What brought you to this place of desiring 

simplicity? 

 

What is the root reason for you seeking out 

minimalism in your life? 

Be honest when people ask what he would like 

as a gift, but don't keep other people in your life 

from blessing your kids. Ask for an experience gift 

over a material donation, tell them how much he 

loves *insert child's favorite activity*, but don't be 

upset when the day comes and he receives toys 

you know he does not need. 

Minimalism is a lifestyle of purposely 

choosing to live with less stuff in your 

home so that there's less to maintain 

and more time and space to focus on 

what matters. 

For moms, this is everything, which is why I 

started a movement for mothers based on this 

idea. I spend my days encouraging hundreds 

of thousands of my fellow women to ditch the 

clutter and the chaos and get intentional about 

how they are spending their mom lives. Moreover, 

it is incredible! 

In doing what I do, there are a few things I see on 

a regular basis that make my heartache. One of 

them is when a desire for minimalism takes over 

and becomes ingratitude. 

In a world saturated with materialism, we have to 

fight to live with less, and it is dang hard. I get it. 

However, sometimes, in our desperate 

attempt to simplify and be more aware of 

what's coming into our homes, we become 

ungrateful guardians of our domains that 

make other people feel like we do not 

appreciate their gifts. Moreover, maybe that we 

do not appreciate them. 

I know where the passion for less comes from. 

It is like an internal uprising- a deep desire for a 

simpler way of living when you figure out what 

works and you have been residing in the 

clutter and chaos for so long, you just 

want out. You found a way, and 

you see the light, and you are not 

stopping for anything. 

The origin for most of us is relationships. Our 

relationships began to suffer because we were 

doing all the things, cleaning up regularly, running 

on a treadmill fueled by an endless cycle of stuff. 

We want to be closer to our children; we want to 

stop being nagging, stressed out wives. We want 

time to be better friends with the other women 

in our lives; we want to have the time, space and 

focus to love others and be present for them. 

Let's not get so caught up in being 

the editors of our homes that we hurt 

those around us. 

Obviously, there's a huge difference between 

someone giving a gift to you or your kids and 

someone who is blatantly against the way you are 

choosing to live and continuously brings things 

over when you have kindly asked them not to. 

However, what we are talking about here is 

making minimalism into some legalistic law 

you follow to the death, no matter who you 

takedown in the process. 

It is easy to do as we fight for the motherhood 

we want, so I encourage you to take a scoopful 

of grace if you feel like you have gone down this 

path. 

When it is your child's birthday, have a grateful 

heart. 

Minimalism, the way I teach it and the way I 

believe in it, isn't about only having what you 

need. Where's the joy in that anyway? 

When you get a basket of lotions and candles 

from your mother-in-law, give her an authentic 

hug. She cares about you! It does not matter if the 

gift was entirely obligatory or truly heartfelt- it is a 

gift, and gifts are exclamations of love. Value your 

relationships over the state of your home- that 

is what you came into this for in the first place, 

right? 

Plus, I can tell you have spent years on the 

"other side" of minimalism with four kids… If you 

simplify your home and live this out day to 

day, gifts cannot set you back! 

You do not have to fret over the little things or 

stress out about how many presents your kids 

get for Christmas. When everything else is 

simplified, there's room for holidays and 

birthdays and tokens of love from the people 

in your life. It is okay. 

My advice to anyone looking to implement 

minimalism is this: walk away from the 

legalism of it. 

Don't count your things, don't guard your home 

against gifts like a lioness defending her cubs. Just 

focus on simplifying what you can control and 

remember what matters most in this life- loving 

the people in it.

WE ARE THE SLASHIES: 

5 



What is a slashie? A person 

who knows that their day job 

isn't their real job: a busboy/ 

actor; waitress/screenwriter/ 

photographer; singer/ 

production designer/legal secretary. Your slash is 

your professional makeup. In other words, most 

of us - if we are honest with ourselves. Because 

a creative thinker is many things, today if you are 

a slashie you are forging a new path in a wide 

open sea of opportunity, but you likely haven't 

solved for that single, money-making passion 

just yet. But that's a good thing – unlike how it 

might feel to a slashie – this stage is part of the 

process. Slashies are a growing percentage of the 

workforce because careers nowadays don't have 

"work experience." A creator can build a new app/ 

community/business overnight, and because of 

that, new job definitions are being invented every 

day. Thanks to equal opportunity of the internet, 

it's like a claim-jumper era for creatives with a 

desire to build something new. 

It can be hard to choose a new career or even 

entertain the idea because if you are an adult, 

you want to be stable and have security. Because, 

hey - when you're a grownup, that's what you 

are supposed to do. Thankfully nowadays there 

are all sorts of new avenues for creative thinkers 

to pursue professional careers based on their 

particular aesthetic and passions. So that's what 

this is about. Five ways to better pursue your 

creative passions and figure out what can take 

your slashes to a more convenient or purposedriven 

definition – for you as a creative voice with 

one lifetime on this earth. 

1. LET GO OF THE STRUGGLE. 

Often for creative individuals, the biggest suck to 

productivity and focus is the pain and frustration 

caused by being a slashie at all. If you're a painter, 

you likely hate that you are also a banker. If 

you're a writer, you might feel like a failed writer 

if you have to serve people burgers. But that is 

absolutely not the case, and you have to start by 

changing that mindset. Know that it's an essential 

part of the process and as a way to protect 

yourself from this suffering, start by dividing your 

jobs by their distinct value, in your own mind. 

Yes, one of the literal downsides to this split time 

is being unable to focus on your passion. So in 

order to make true progress, you have got to 

stop lamenting that fact – as it is often the truest 

time-suck. Treat this stage of life as an objective 

equation – separate your mental time and focus 

just as you separate your literal time. In the book, 

You Are a Circle: A Visual Meditation for 

the Creative Mind the author describes a 

great equation for creative evolution: 

• Your first job is to live: it pays the bills. For 

creatives – often that's taking a job that 

you can rely on in the in between hours – 

something like Task Rabbit or Lyft that allows 

you to work when you decide to. 

• The second job is your professional 

experiment. It's a job based on your creative 

slashes, something that you hope will bring 

in some money – that furthers your creative 

path. 

• The third job is simply to play and grow. It 

doesn't pay you anything, but it grows your 

capacity as a thinker. It keeps you open and 

changing. For this job, try something totally 

new that allows you to grow. 

The goal is to juggle all three of these jobs at all 

times – and ensure you are addressing each one 

throughout your week. Whatever the ratio, if you 

can handle that – you are in fact moving closer to 

your dream job. 

The most important part of all of this process 

is forgiving yourself and the exact place you 

are right now and knowing that this part of it is 

necessary to expand and experiment. It's okay to 

play with new mediums and try and fail and learn 

a ton from those failures. You need this time to 

solve what you will eventually master. If you're 

innovating your own new job description, you 

won't stumble upon it on a set path. Which is the 

great part about being a creative entrepreneur.

2. INVEST IN YOUR JOY. 

If it brings you joy, keep doing it. Commit to its 

value in your life and take it seriously. In other 

words, don't take it lightly or discount its value as 

the "irrational" or "casual" slash– just because it's 

not your money-making slash now doesn't mean 

it won't be in three years from now. But it's up 

to you to take it seriously and say you mean it. 

Those gusts of joy are truly the clues that lead 

you to a passion-based career that you will be 

great at and find success within. That includes 

all the love-filled hobbies that you might think 

are trivial, like taking photos of your ramen on 

Instagram. 

The real path to success comes from making an 

investment: of literal time, serious intention, and 

committing to the long haul. Finding success as 

a creative who is forging your own path comes 

from evolving and growing yourself bravely. That 

means quite a bit of trial and error and sticking 

with it for longer than feels right or fun. 

For example, there is a growing percentage of 

creatives who have as a byproduct of their social 

posts – have now become official "influencers" 

and now get paid by sponsors to create custom 

posts. Why is this good? Because they're getting 

paid to be themselves – "Assignment: just keep 

being you and create another super awesome 

post to your existing audience – and here, take 

some money from our perfectly aligned product!" 

3. DON'T JUST SHARE, 

BUILD A COMMUNITY. 

Just like the saying goes, "It's who you know." 

So much of forging your own success will come 

from investing in the community of like-minded 

creative individuals. It can feel like the internet 

is cold and anonymous, but it becomes like a 

series of small towns once you begin making 

connections to the right creative communities 

that align with your voice. And it's through a 

community in which you will find others to help 

you better build your personal brand. You will 

"network" without having to feel gross and dirty 

and even say that word aloud. 

The important part of growing your slashes is 

finding the environments that foster and promote 

those parts of you – that expand your horizons 

and enlighten you as a creative professional. 

Be brave in how you build your own creative 

entrepreneurial community – treat it like an 

extended group of friends who are excited 

for you and think you are cool. For example, 

Ilovecreatives is an online community for just 

that: creative individuals who are slashies trying to 

connect to others just like them. Whether it's for 

a drink-mixer, a lecture, or an individual creative 

promotion. 

4. TREAT YOUR CREATIVE 

SELF AS A POTENTIAL 

PROFESSION. 

Basically, invest in expanding upon those passions 

and grow your open roads as a professional. 

There might not be job experience for the 

creative skill you will eventually perfect, and 

the best way to forge that path is learn any 

and all skills in related areas! Thanks to the 

interwebs there are tons of new budding creative 

communities to help you invest in the facets of 

your creative self and grow your ability to selfemploy. 

• General Assembly hosts lectures spanning 

mobile app design to public speaking. It's 

like a working-professional-based college for 

anyone who's making ish happen for their 

personal or professional empowerment. 

• Jennifer Puno (of this previous interview) 

hosts webinars teaching individuals how 

to grow their Instagram following, as an 

individual or an individual trying to enhance 

their personal brand or business. 

• Marie Forleo has B-school – an online 

training program for creative entrepreneurs 

of all kinds. No matter what kind of passion 

you have, you can convert it into your 

number one job, if you approach it that way. 

5. FORCE OPENNESS 

TO NEWNESS. 

The brain, by its very nature, hates what is 

unknown. Chemically, we are averse to change 

– we are addicted to what is familiar, even when 

that makes us unhappy. So often when it comes 

to newness, you will have to force yourself to 

stay open and embrace new change. It never 

helps to close yourself off to things or decide you 

know what they mean. Even on a small scale – as 

a natural stance, assume "openness." Each new 

online platform gives you an opportunity to thrive 

and reach a new community, so before you say 

you "hate Twitter" or you don't like sharing, try it 

out. Commit to not knowing anything for sure, 

until you try it —and that being a good thing. 

You are on a road that leads to happiness that 

translates into all areas of your life. You are 

growing who you are – and that is extremely 

valuable no matter the destination, because it 

improves your personal expansion, right now. 

So keep on keeping on and don't get distracted 

by staring at your feet. Keep looking ahead to 

what's next and keep smiling – because this voice 

of creativity is in you for a reason. It cannot be 

squelched and if you ignore it, it will stay under 

your skin for the rest of your life – itching to be 

expressed. I don't say that to scare you but to 

push you in the same direction with a high-ten 

and a "whoo!" Because being a slashie isn't 

optional, it's necessary – you are being true to 

who you are, and right now it's time for you to 

discover more about who you are and what you 

are meant to bring into this vast and limitless 

world. Everyone has an audience of like-minded 

individuals. It's your job to keep pursuing your 

own answers as a creative so you can find them.

THIS IS THE OFFICE 

HACK SCIENTISTS 

SAY WILL MAKE YOU 

MORE PRODUCTIVE. 

Wanting to increase 

our productivity at 

work is a running 

theme for business 

professionals. 

For as long as there have been 

executives, there have been 

discussions, workshops, and 

countless books written about the 

subject of increasing productivity in 

the workplace. 

Now, researchers are actively 

working on what could be the 

ultimate productivity hack that could 

dramatically increase work output by 

manipulating circadian rhythms, the 

body’s natural cycles that determine 

your most wakeful hours and help 

your body to identify when it should 

be sleeping. 

Recently, there has been an influx of 

lighting features that have gone to 

market that cater to and promote 

the body’s circadian rhythms. The 

lighting applications help support 

health and well-being in people. 

According to the Environmental 

Protection Agency, people living in 

metropolitan areas can spend more 

than ninety percent of their lives 

indoors, away from natural light in 

the environment. 

Years of testing have proven that 

people overall are sensitive to blue 

lights. When we’re outdoors, blue 

is the primary color we see around 

us. It has the ability to suppress 

melatonin, a chemical in the brain 

that aids in our ability to fall asleep. 

It’s used medicinally in its natural 

state as an over the counter and 

prescription sleep aid. 

An investigation by Christian 

Cajochen, head of the Center of 

Chronobiology at the University 

of Basel, worked with a team of 

volunteers that were exposed to 

computers that were backlit with 

blue-based LED lights for five hours 

in the evening. The result of that 

testing indicated that the volunteers 

felt less tired because they produced 

less melatonin than they would 

naturally. The increased alertness 

allowed them to perform better on 

tests as compared to others who 

sat in front of fluorescent lights that 

were the same size and gave off the 

same level of brightness. 

“Studies like that have prompted researchers 

to advise office decorators to include as 

much blue light like that seen in daylight 

hours in the offices they design. 

More and more office prominent in our everyday 

designers have caught on to 

this trend, and employers 

are pleased with the results 

they’ve witnessed in their 

offices. 

Those same studies and 

many others have promoted 

to people outside of offices 

too. It’s become common 

practice for physicians 

and practitioners of varied 

disciplines to advise their 

clients to stick to natural 

cycles in life, meaning keep 

exposure to bright light at 

night to a minimum so as 

not to disturb their circadian 

rhythm and help promote 

alertness when in the 

workplace. That includes the 

use of devices which are so 

lives. From computer 

screens to Smartphones and 

tablets, people are always 

connected, and their brains 

are almost always on. The 

constant use and exposure 

to harmful lights exacerbate 

our sleep disorders, 

especially in the young, but 

not exclusive to adolescents. 

It’s becoming increasingly 

popular in young adults and 

adults. 

The takeaway from this 

extensive research is to limit 

our exposure to the blue 

daylight lighting and ensure 

we work in more red-based 

nighttime lights for optimum 

productivity.

DON'T BE 

01 AFRAID. 

After my mother passed away 

in 2013, I found one of her 

journals and sat down on the 

floor of my bedroom to read it. 

There, in her handwriting, she 

was talking about all the dreams 

she never went after and the 

things she never did because 

she let fear hold her back. She 

was describing how she had 

been afraid to live. It was so sad 

to read, knowing that she had 

run out of time to do anything 

differently. But it also lit a fire 

under my behind. I knew that 

I did NOT want to end up the 

same way and I am determined 

not to be afraid and to go after 

my dreams, both for her and for 

me. Life is truly too short for us 

to live any other way. 

6 

THINGS MY MOM 

TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIFE 

(WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT) 

The other day, as my friend was struggling to 

find the right word to describe how she felt, I 

interceded with a quote from my mom. 

"You feel like a dishrag," I said. 

What's funny is, when I said it at that moment 

and again when I just typed it, that makes total 

sense to me. But I guess probably to others, 

not so much. 

To "feel like a dishrag" basically means you are 

out of energy, kaput, done-zo. What that has to 

do with a dishrag, I have no idea. But that was 

just one of the many "Rose-isms" that I got used 

to over the years. 

I love them because they feel like a little nod 

from my mom and will smile when I catch 

myself using them from time to time. She 

probably wouldn't even remember coming up 

with them if she were still here with us, even 

though they've become a part of my regular 

vocabulary! 

But this little exchange also got me to thinking 

about all the other things that I learned (and 

have carried on) from my mother, without her 

even realizing it. 

BE KIND TO 

02 EVERYONE. 

If you were blessed enough to 

know my mom in real life, you 

know that she was a very kind 

and loving person. That's how 

she ended up with so many 

"surrogate children" all over the 

place. My friends, my sister's 

friends, even her younger coworkers 

all fell in love with her 

and decided she should be their 

second mom. But it wasn't 

because she made amazing 

homemade lasagna or told the 

funniest stories. It was because 

she was genuinely kind to them 

and made them feel like they 

mattered. She listened to them, 

offered advice when they needed 

it, held it back when they didn't 

and basically, showed them that 

someone cared. It's a lesson that 

the world could take to heart, 

especially right now.

No matter what the 

circumstances are, we 

can choose not to give up, 

to be positive and to live. 

Or we can choose to give in 

and give up. I don't know 

about you, but I choose 

to live. 

LAUGH AT YOURSELF. 

03My mother had a unique talent - she could look 

ridiculous in nearly every photo ever taken of her. Correction... 

the old photos that I have seen of her are mostly average. But 

something changed along the way, and in her later years, she 

somehow managed always to have the goofiest expressions in 

all of her pictures. It became sort of an ongoing joke with us, 

which resulted in quite a few laughing-until-crying fits. Like 

the time we rode the ski lift together in Gatlinburg, TN and 

had our photo snapped at the top, only to see later that she 

had somehow managed to slump down in the seat at just that 

moment and made herself look "like a troll" (her words). Ahh, 

good times. But the point is, she would laugh just as hard 

as the rest of us. Because she never took it (or herself) too 

seriously. And if that's not a good lesson for us all, I don't know 

what is. 

RESPECT YOURSELF. 

04 This is another lesson that my mother might not 

even realize that she taught me unintentionally, but she did. 

After growing up in an often tumultuous home as a child, it can 

become easy to find yourself getting "used to" the same kind 

of treatment as an adult. Maybe you hate confrontation, or 

you just don't know anything different. But no matter where 

you came from or what you've been through, you always 

deserve respect - both from others and yourself. Period. 

NEVER GIVE UP. 

05 This one is a little hard to talk about it, my mom 

never gave up on life, right up until the end. She was in the 

hospital, in a worse state than she even realized, and was still 

talking about how she wanted to stop for some soft-serve 

ice cream on the way home! She was planning to celebrate 

Thanksgiving at the beach that falls, although she didn't make 

it that far. And she had even talked to some realtors at the 

beach about condos just three weeks before she passed. She 

reminded me that we always have a choice. No matter what 

the circumstances are, we can choose not to give up, to be 

positive and to live. Or we can decide to give in and give up. I 

don't know about you, but I choose to live. 

SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT. 

06 My mother loved dessert. Especially when eating 

out at a restaurant; So much so, that she had a little routine. 

She'd eat about 75% of her dinner and then stop. Not 

because she was full, but because she wanted to make sure 

she'd have room for dessert. So she'd ask for a box for 

the rest of her dinner and then treat herself to something 

sweet. Although these days I don't necessarily agree with 

the overload of sugar, I do agree with the sentiment! We 

shouldn't always be so concerned with the serious stuff, that 

we forget to make room for the fun stuff. It's okay to stop 

work a little early every once in awhile to go out with a friend. 

Or take that extra day of vacation or let your child stay up 

that extra hour so you can finish your game of Monopoly. 

Because no matter how full you (or your life) feel, there's 

always room for dessert. 

Until next time, keep your dreams BIG and your worries tiny...

BRAIN HEALTH: 

THE HEALTH FOCUS 

OF THE 21ST CENTURY 

John Urschel retired from the NFL this August. 

Many of you may not had heard of him, but Urshel was a true scholar warrior. He 

was a third-year offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, who had a passion 

for hitting in the trenches. In the off-season, he was studying for his Ph. D in 

mathematics from M.I.T with multiple articles published in multiple peer reviewed journals. 

What triggered his retirement? In late 

July, a research article in the prestigious 

Journal of the American Medical Association 

showed profound linkages between chronic 

traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and 

football. 110 out of 111 brains from NFL 

players who had donated their brains to 

science had been shown on autopsy to 

have CTE, including players who had been 

publicly known to have the disease such 

as Ken Stabler, former quarterback of the 

Oakland Raiders. It also looks as if it is not 

just the head jarring hits, but the ongoing 

collisions that happen between offensive 

and defensive lineman on every play that are 

contributing to this. Urschel made a logical 

decision to protect his brain from further

The NFL is a microcosm of public trends. 

Brain health has become the #1 issue for 

the league – specifically how to prevent 

concussions and how to mitigate the 

impact on players health. 

Players have apps and feedback machines 

that help them improve the quality of their 

mediation and improve their mental focus. 

The teams have embraced these approaches 

as they all see accumulating evidence that 

improving mental focus and mindfulness 

can contribute to better athletic and team 

results. 

Brain Health is where physical fitness was 

50 years ago. Advances in technology 

are allowing us to see brain structure and 

function, much clearer than before. The 

complexity of the brain is starting to unravel, 

piece by piece. New evidence is popping up 

monthly. As a result, we all have the ability to 

take much better care of our brains than we 

did twenty years ago. At the same time, brain 

health can be scary. Most of us have known 

someone with Alzheimer’s disease, which 

robs us of our dignity and humanness.

EVERYTHING 

YOU NEED TO 

KNOW ABOUT 

MICROBLADING 

Beauty trends come and go. No 

matter how much you think you 

know what the next hottest trend 

is, there’s always a new, more 

exciting one coming down the 

pike. You have to ask yourself, which one is 

right for you and which one should you let 

pass you by? 

We here at Healthy magazine are constantly 

on the hunt for something new and 

wonderful that will place our readers on 

the cutting edge and give them a clean, 

refreshing, updated look that won’t fade into 

oblivion tomorrow. 

Our latest great find is eyebrow 

microblading. You read that right! Eyebrow 

microblading is the hottest procedure on the 

market, and with good reason. It looks great! 

If you’ve never heard of this procedure, don’t 

fret. We hadn’t heard of it either until our 

researchers dove in to get the skinny on this 

beauty trend. Here’s the gist of what you 

need to know. 

Microblading is a semi-permanent 

cosmetic treatment that uses a 

small (tiny!) blade that’s dipped in 

pigment to create hair-thin strokes 

that can blend in with and rev up 

your natural eyebrows. 

Each stroke is applied with tender loving 

care by hand. The eyebrow artist (because 

let’s face it, that’s what they are) can create 

the perfect color, density, and – wait for it – 

shape to enhance your brows. What’s not to 

love about that? 

This two-step process will allow you to walk 

away with your head held high and your 

brows looking fierce! And the best part? It 

can last from anywhere from one to three 

years! Swoon! Think about it; you won’t have 

to keep making that weekly trek to get your 

brows done. Save money, time, and most of 

all, efficiently maintain your brows with this 

straightforward and practical procedure. 

We know what you’re 

thinking. What does this 

miraculous, eyebrow 

saving procedure cost? 

We’re not going to lie. The 

price can be a little steep 

for some budgets, but what 

price would you pay to add 

the perfect complement to your 

precious face? If you find the right artist 

– someone who has honed their craft and 

clients raves about their work – you might 

pay anywhere from five-hundred dollars to 

nine-hundred dollars for the procedure. But 

before you cross it off your to-do list and 

forget about, think again. Microblading is a 

more than a basic trim. It’s not a procedure 

that’s performed in a back office by hacks. 

This is real art done by gifted artists who 

help to define your eyebrows and refine 

your overall look. Consider this long-lasting 

procedure to be your eyebrow rescue. 

How much are you willing to pay to get the 

perfectly coiffed brow that you won’t have 

to worry about for upwards of three whole 

years? If you ask us, we think a good brow 

that enhances your features and leaves you 

looking fresh, clean, and more natural is 

worth every penny. 

Tell us what you think about this procedure. 

Are you going to let the price tag scare you 

away?

HEALING 

YOUR 

CHAKRA 

POINTS 

1 DAY AT 

A TIME 

Awakening your divine spirit is a 

rewarding way to attain optimal 

physical health and to find peace 

of mind. Our body's chakras are 

like spirals of energy, each connecting to the 

other. Each is represented by a color from 

the color spectrum: red, orange, yellow, 

green, blue, indigo, or purple. That color has 

a profound effect on us on all levels whether 

physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. Our 

body consists of energy points that emulate 

spiritual frequencies. These energy points are 

our chakras. Each point is reflected by your 

vibration, ultimately, the way you live your 

life. 

Using the seven colors of the spectrum, 

you can balance and enhance your spiritual 

connection. These colors are known to have 

a healing effect on one's spirit and physical 

body when used correctly. 

Below are their representations and what 

they mean to your well-being: 

 

Red – root which represents grounding 

 

Orange (Sacrum) – represents sexuality 

and sensuality 

 

Yellow (Solar Plexus) – will power and 

confidence 

 

Green (Heart) – represents love for 

yourself and others 

 

Blue (Throat) – accounts for the truth 

and creativity 

 

Indigo (Third Eye) – represents wisdom 

and spiritual awakening, intuition 

 

Purple (Crown) – represents your God. 

It is your connection between you and 

the Divine. 

If your energy centers become blocked, 

your body cannot function properly, leading 

to problems like stress to disease. If you 

experience fear or anger, your heart chakra 

is blocked. It can lead to heart problems as 

a physical manifestation. It may leave you 

carrying a cold, broken heart. Conversely, 

if you're in love, your heart chakra is 

heightened. You will attract love. The physical 

and spiritual realm go hand in hand. Your 

physical and divine self are in balance. 

The most important aspect of chakra 

cleansing is your space. Cleanliness in your 

area can bring you mental clarity. It allows 

room to release the negative and stressful 

energies that linger around you. It promotes 

much-needed alone time and invites you 

to welcome stillness and awareness of self. 

Do this for seven consecutive days to clear 

each chakra point, while focusing one point 

per day to help clear your body of negativity. 

Wear that day's color as a visual clue of what 

point to focus on. 

By Fabienne Claude 

◊ Day 1 – Red – Be more aware of who 

you are. Are you harboring negative 

feelings? Reflect on those issues. Allow 

your body and mind to release those 

energies. 

◊ Day 2 - Orange – Typically, the most 

challenge chakra, this forces you to resist 

your false desires. Manifest your desires 

of good for you and the world around 

you. 

◊ Day 3 – Yellow – Be aware of your divine 

self. Recognize societal judgments and 

banish them from your life. Build your 

confidence and embrace your power, 

while remaining humble. 

◊ Day 4 – Green – Focus on self-love. 

◊ Day 5 – Blue – Let your voice be heard. 

◊ Day 6 – Indigo – Open your mind to 

knowledge. 

◊ Day 7 – Purple – Trust your intuition. 

Embrace your true self. 

Close these daily steps with 5 – 10-minute 

meditations and reflection to living a life free 

from blockage and disease.

7 

REASONS YOU SHOULD BE 


Do we need an excuse to get a 

good massage? Probably not, 

right? But wouldn’t it be good 

to know that there are plenty 

of reasons why you should be 

getting massages much more often? No 

kidding. 

It used to be that only people of a 

certain income level or status treated 

themselves to a decadent massage. Now, 

they are more commonplace and much 

more affordable. And you can even treat 

someone else with a gift certificate for one. 

According to expert kinesiologist, 

massages are primarily an all over body 

medicine. A massage can increase and 

improve circulation if done correctly. And 

as many people already know, proper 

circulation does wonder for your body. 

Next time someone tells you that massages 

are luxuries, not essentials, say that they’re 

far more than that. They’re medically 

necessary. 

Here are a few of the many health benefits of 

getting a massage: 

01 

02 

03 

It can readjust your posture by 

working out the kinks. After 

endless hours spent sitting at 

a desk or standing still to do 

work, your posture takes a serious 

hit. Regular massages can ease the 

tension in your neck and back and 

help straighten your spine. 

They can help you get restful 

sleep. Better circulation means 

you’ll get better sleep. One 

massage per week can help with 

insomnia. 

Massages can ease anxiety. The 

circular motions soothe you by 

lowering your blood pressure 

and decreasing your heart rate. 

04 

05 

06 

07 

They can relieve headache 

pain. Massages are a natural 

way to alleviate pain. 

Something as simple as two 

massages per week can reduce 

the occurrence or ease the 

symptoms of headaches. 

They can relieve body aches 

and pains. 

Massages have been shown to 

reduce the effects of chemo 

and other harsh treatments 

by reducing aches and pains 

and nausea. 

They can boost your mood. 

This is easy. Massages make 

you happy!

DREAMS DOUGH COME TRUE

"A 

healthy 

outside 

starts 

from the 

inside."

HEALTHY FOOD · SEPTEMBER 2017 



Organic? Grass-Fed? All 

Natural? Locally Grown? 

Cage Free? Many of these 

claims are seen daily 

in supermarkets and 

restaurants without proper understanding of 

what they truly mean. 

Unless the claim is being checked and 

certified by an independent third party, 

the integrity of a food label is often only as 

reliable as the person or company making 

it and applying for it to the official labeling 

approval institution. It’s now common for a 

company or farm supplier to simply have to 

sign an affidavit saying they are following 

certain rules. No other checks are made to 

ensure the company is telling the truth or 

if the rules are being followed or properly 

enforced. 

The most trusted food labels will always 

incorporate independent third-party audits 

(previously approved by government 

organizations like USDA), where farms and 

suppliers are physically audited at least 

once a year according to set of published 

standards, providing the maximum integrity 

for any claims made to customers. Where 

possible, you are advised to seek out food 

label certifications that require third-party 

audits to ensure your expectations are 

fully met when it comes to animal welfare, 

environmental protection, and other foodrelated 

issues. 

If you believe in a better sustainable world 

you must read and question your food label 

claims to make your part in improving the 

conditions of the food chain. 

These are some of the most common food 

labels, as explained by “A Greener World” 

organization and their guide “Food Labels 

Exposed” - www.agreenerworld.org: 

FREE-RANGE / FREE- 

ROAMING: FOR 

POULTRY MEAT ONLY 

Definition by USDA food safety and 

inspection service: “Producers must 

demonstrate to the Agency that the 

poultry has been allowed access to the 

outside.” 

Although “free-range” is a positive sounding 

term with a legal definition, consumers 

should be aware that the type of outdoor 

access provided (such as pasture or dirt lot), 

the size of the outdoor area, the length 

of time the birds are required to have outdoor 

access, and how this must be verified 

is not legally defined and therefore varies 

greatly from facility to facility. Crowding 

is not uncommon. This claim provides no 

assurance of any other high-welfare welfare 

or environmental management practices. 

No independent third party verification 

required. 

VEGETARIAN-FED/FED 

A VEGETARIAN DIET 

No legal or regulated definition required 

Animals have been fed a diet free of animal 

products. This does not mean animals were 

raised outdoors on pasture or were fed a 

100% grass-fed diet. No independent third 

party verification required. 

SUSTAINABLE 

AGRICULTURE 

No legal or regulated 

definition. 

Sustainable farming 

is generally considered 

as farming that is socially 

just, high welfare, economically viable, 

and environmentally sound. The term is, 

however, unregulated and not legally defined. 

Sustainable agriculture was addressed by 

Congress in the 1990 farm Bill. Under that 

law: 

“the term 

sustainable 

agriculture means 

an integrated 

system of plant and 

animal production 

practices having a 

site-specific application 

that will, over the long term: 

99 

Satisfy human food and 

fiber needs 

99 

Enhance environmental 

quality and the natural resource base 

upon which the agricultural economy 

depends 

99 

Make the most efficient use of 

nonrenewable resources and onfarm 

resources and integrate, where 

appropriate, natural biological cycles 

and controls 

99 

Sustain the economic viability of farm 

operations; and enhance the quality of 

life for farmers and society as a whole.” 

ORGANIC/ 

CERTIFIED 

ORGANIC 

Definition by USDA: 

“All products sold as 

“organic” must meet 

the USDA National Organic 

Program production and handling standards. 

Certification is mandatory for farmers selling 

more than $5,000 of organic products 

per year, and is verified by an accredited 

certifying agency.” 

In general, organic production limits the 

use of chemicals, pesticides, hormones, 

antibiotics, and other inputs. However,it 

does not strictly define production 

practices related to space per animal or 

outdoor access requirements—for example, 

confinement areas are permitted to fatten 

organic beef cattle—that can have significant 

welfare implications for animals. 

38 HEALTHY MAGAZINE


For information about the National organic 

program and use of the term “organic” on 

labels, refer to these factsheets from the 

USDA Agricultural Marketing service: 

• organic food standards and labels: The 

facts labeling and Marketing information 

ANGUS/ 

CERTIFIED 

ANGUS BEEF 

No legal or regulated 

definition. 

The American 

Angus Association 

has registered a 

definitionof “Angus” beef with the USDA 

that requires the animal tohave 50% Angus 

genetics or a predominantly (51%) black coat 

or hide. Animal must be under 30 months 

at slaughter and must meet additional meat 

quality requirements. There are, however, 

no management or welfare requirements 

relating to how cattle are raised. The terms 

“Angus Beef” and “Black Angus Beef”are 

also commonly used but are even less 

regulated. 

CAGE FREE: FOR EGGS/ 

LAYING HENS NO LEGAL OR 

REGULATED DEFINITION. 

As the term implies, hens laying eggs labeled 

as “cage free”are raised without using 

cages, but still almost always liveinside 

large barns or warehouses, often with many 

thousandsof other birds. This term does 

not explain if the birds have any access to 

the outside, whether any outside area was 

pasture or a bare lot, or if they were raised 

entirely indoors in overcrowded conditions. 

Beak cutting is permitted to prevent feather 

pecking. No verification required by an 

independent third party unless eggs are 

also covered by an additional claim, such as 

Certified Humane. 

GRASS-FED 

i. definition by USDA: 

“100% of the diet 

of grassfed animals 

consists of freshly 

grazed pasture during 

the growing season 

and stored grasses (hay or 

grass silage) during the winter months or 

drought conditions.” 

This term refers only to the diet of cattle, 

sheep, goats, and bison. It does not indicate 

if an animal was given antibiotics or 

hormones. The USDA definition goes on to 

state that “if for environmental or health 

of the animal reasons supplementation 

can be used if the producer logs the type 

and amount.” in other words, outside of 

the growing season cattle could be kept 

off pasture on non-vegetated (dirt) lots 

and fed harvested forage and supplements, 

antibiotics, and synthetic hormones and still 

bear the USDA grassfed label. 

Other independent third-party grassfed 

certifications exist that verify cattle are 

raised on a 100% forage diet, on pasture 

without confinement, and with no routine 

antibiotics or added hormones. 

KOSHER 

Definition by USDA 

food safety and 

inspection service: 

“Kosher” may be 

used only on the labels 

of meat and poultry 

products prepared under 

Rabbinical supervision.” 

For meat to bear the “Kosher” label animals 

must be slaughtered without being prestunned. 

NATURAL/ALL 

NATURAL 

Definition by 

USDA food safety 

and inspection 

service: “A 

product 

containing no 

artificial ingredient 

or added colorand 

is only minimally processed (a process 

which does not fundamentally alter the raw 

product) may be labeled natural. The label 

must explain the use of the term natural 

(such as: no added colorings or artificial 

ingredients; minimally processed).” 

As defined by the USDA, the term applies 

only to how meat is processed after 

slaughter. often found on meat and livestock 

product labels, this commonly used term 

does not refer in any way to how animals 

are raised, so the farming system may have 

involved feedlot and confinement systems, 

tail docking and other mutilations, or the 

routine use of antibiotics, for example. 

No independent third party verification 

required.

DREAMS DOUGH 

COME TRUE 

Fufi wants you to try her 

empanadas. Of course, 

she'd also like it if you 

stayed a while. And if you 

did, you could munch on 

some pizza or tacos (hand-held foods 

only, she insists), drink some local 

craft beers, and bask in it's warm 

but youthful ambiance. It's a small 

space, but very cozy—perfect for 

an afternoon lunch or a late-night 

date after visiting the arts district. It's 

also a place she's made her home, so 

much so that she even moved into 

the apartment right above it; so if 

you're going to stop by, make sure 

you say hi, she'll probably chat you 

up for a bit and ask you one thing… 

Try her empanadas. And you should. 

They're some of the fattest, flakiest 

crescents I've ever had in my life 

(croissants included). See, Fufi has 

mastered the art and the craft of 

the Latin American staple. And she's 

proud of that. 

They were born in Argentina, in her 

grandmother's kitchen. But they were way 

smaller then—almost cocktail sized. Pictures 

of plates piled up with the miniature pastries 

are some of Fufi's fondest memories from 

childhood. And when she first moved to the 

United States, first Colorado and then Hawaii, 

she missed them dearly. There, however, 

it was a given that she wouldn't be getting 

many foods from home, so she packaged 

them up with all the other remnants of 

her childhood in Argentina. But when she 

came to Miami, that all changed: "There'll 

be empanadas everywhere!" She'd think to 

herself. It was one of the things she was most 

excited about. And so she'd go around town, 

everywhere from fried empanada shops to 

elite argentine steakhouses, and she wouldn't 

be able to find an empanada that felt right. 

And that set her into action. When you move 

around so much, home cooking is some of 

the stuff you miss the most. The smells, the 

flavors, ingredients, textures—they all evoke 

memories and ancestral pride which can 

be very hard to replicate. 

Even if they're mimicked, a 

true native will know that 

it doesn't really taste like 

home. But Fufi isn't one to 

sit around and mope. She'd 

moved to Miami, gotten 

hyped up, but still hadn't 

gotten the empanada she craved. So she 

called her grandma and asked for the recipe, 

she was going to have make them herself. 

The result... she finally got what she wanted, 

but still, that wasn't enough. Since she was 

making them herself, they had to be perfect. 

Florencia says " It's not easy to 

find empanadas that meet all of my 

requirements: quality ingredients, 

fully stuffed, light on the dough, crisp, 

healthy, locally made fresh every day. I 

rather steam my veggies, roast the meats; 

never frying. No added oils, preservatives 

or canned stuff. I make them knowing 

that I have to come through for my 

empanada connoisseurs!" 

This is when her search for the ideal 

ingredients began. And as you can probably 

tell, she is very picky, and a perfectionist at 

that. So this was an extensive process – one 

that began with the grass-fed beef from 

Gaucho Ranch, local and artisanal cheeses 

by Mimmo's Mozzarella, Atlas Meat-free Deli, 

etc. It's with this kind of care and passion that 

she chooses every ingredient and item on her 

list. She's a strong believer of buying locally, 

and cooking healthily; anybody that has tried 

her food can tell you that it's all worth it, you 

have not had an empanada like this before. 

On her menu you can find over 15 different 

flavors to please all palates and preferences: 

from curried eggplant to vegan beef, steak 

to bacon, brie & dates. Her favorite? "It all 

depends what you're in the mood for, I have a 

different favorite one every day!"
