LIFESTYLE LETTER

The Quiet Invitation of a New Year As the New Year rises, I’m reminded that well-being isn’t something we chase—it’s something we choose. A fresh year carries a quiet, powerful invitation to begin again with clarity, intention, and deeper devotion to the parts of ourselves that often get pushed aside. This season isn’t about striving to fix anything. It’s about remembering. Returning. Re-rooting into what feels nourishing, truthful, and alive. What if the most meaningful intention this year is simply to come home to yourself? Not the hurried, overextended version of you who takes on too much. Not the version shaped by expectations, pressure, or timelines that were never truly yours. But the version who listens inward. Who honors their energy. Who moves through life with steadiness and purpose. Who trusts that when they feel well, aligned, and cared for—their entire life expands. This year invites you to choose rituals that remind you of your wholeness. Let mornings be unhurried. Let nourishment be clean and enjoyable. Let movement feel supportive rather than strenuous. Let your home be a sanctuary. Let quiet moments reconnect you to your own wisdom. These simple rhythms are not small; they are profoundly restorative. Because well-being is the foundation for everything you create and contribute. When you honor your well-being, you show up with clarity in your work, presence in your relationships, creativity in your ideas, and confidence in your decisions. You shift from operating out of depletion to leading from overflow, no matter your role or season of life. This year is calling many of us to soften where we’ve been tense and strengthen where we’ve been stretched thin. To rest with intention. To nourish deeply. To choose joy without justification. To step away from pressure and into presence. To release perfection in favor of authenticity. May this be the year where your habits support you, your body becomes a trusted guide, your spirit feels spacious, and your life aligns with what genuinely matters. You deserve a year that feels grounded, expansive, inspired, and unmistakably yours. As you honor your well-being, everything else naturally begins to rise to meet you.

ARTICLE BY JENI KEELER PHOTOGRAPHY BY BONNIE PHILLIPS PHOTOGRAPHY

H EA LT H Y LIF E ST Y LE | H E ALT H + WE LLN E SS

The new year is the perfect time to refresh your approach to caring for yourself, and one often-overlooked aspect of wellness is the health of your largest organ: your skin. At Premier Dermatology & Associates in Hyde Park, Dr. Jewell Gaulding is making it easier than ever for neighbors to access comprehensive dermatological care—for medical and aesthetic needs. It’s all done without the usual hassles of referrals, long wait times, or surprise billing. Just across from Hyde Park Country Club, Premier Dermatology offers something increasingly rare in healthcare: transparency, accessibility, and genuine personal attention. Dr. Gaulding explains, “There’s no mystery here. When you leave our office, you know what your bill is, you’re done. You’ll never get an unexpected bill from our office.” It’s a refreshing departure from the confusing back-and-forth with insurance companies. The practice operates on a direct-pay model, which Dr. Gaulding says makes care more affordable than many people realize. With a senior discount and payment plans offered, they dispel the myth that direct pay means expensive. “A lot of people hear the words direct pay and think that it’s not affordable,” she notes. “I have some people who have insurance plans, and they say, ‘it costs more with my insurance’, because of their high co-pay or deductible.” The transparent approach means patients can focus on their health rather than navigating bureaucracy. Getting an appointment is also easy. While many dermatology practices book months in advance, Premier Dermatology typically schedules within the same week or the next week. “You get the specialty care you’re looking for without jumping through the hoops to get to your final destination,” Dr. Gaulding says. Some of Gaulding’s favorite patient visits involve delivering diagnoses and treatment plans quickly to patients who’ve been batted around the traditional medical system without answers—sometimes for years.

“You can just see the light in their eye. Their whole attitude changes, and you can see that they’re like, okay, there’s hope,” she says. “That’s what I do this for.” The practice offers comprehensive services spanning three main areas: medical dermatology for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne; preventive care, including full skin checks; and aesthetic treatments for those seeking rejuvenation. Premier Dermatology invests in cutting-edge technology to enhance patient care, including a dermatoscope for detailed examinations and FotoFinder—a full-body photography system that uses AI to track changes in your skin over time. “When people have hundreds, thousands of moles...you’re not going to remember all of those,” Dr. Gaulding explains. The technology creates a detailed baseline and monitors for concerning changes at each annual visit. As far as aesthetic treatments, the practice offers microneedling, chemical peels and platelet-rich plasma therapy among other methods. Microneedling stimulates collagen production to address imperfections with minimal downtime—just twenty-four hours until you’re back to normal activities. “People have things to do and are busy, and it’s hard to have a procedure and then have to wait two to three weeks to go outside,” Dr. Gaulding acknowledges. As January inspires fresh starts, Dr. Gaulding offers practical skincare wisdom above the noise of complicated routines and influencer advice. “You don’t need a complicated plan, you just need the right plan for you,” she emphasizes. Rather than pushing exclusive products, she works with each patient to create realistic, brand-agnostic, effective routines. “Some people are like, I realistically can only use two things a day. Some want to do all the things. We’re going to work on your goals and how we can get there.” Originally planning to become a psychiatrist, Dr. Gaulding discovered her calling in dermatology because of its profound psychological impact. “If CONTINUED >

you’re walking around and you have heart disease, nobody knows, but with skin issues, people can see it…and they make all these assumptions about someone, and that can really affect people psychologically.” The welcoming atmosphere at Premier Dermatology deliberately avoids the sterile, rushed feeling of typical medical offices. “We can have a good time, have discussions, a sense of humor is always welcome,” Dr. Gaulding says. She wants patients to know that common embarrassments simply don’t matter. “I see this all day, every day.” Dr. Gaulding recommends annual full skin checks, particularly for those with family history of melanoma or concerns about past sun damage. Her top advice for skin health? Sun protection is non-negotiable. “UV radiation can damage all skin types,” she stresses, recommending wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing for those who dislike sunscreen. And timing matters—try to schedule outdoor activities before 10 a.m. or after 2 p.m. when UV rays are less intense. This January, as you’re setting intentions for better health, consider adding dermatological wellness to your list. Premier Dermatology makes it simple: accessible location, available appointments, transparent pricing, and a physician who genuinely takes time to listen and create a plan that works for your life. In a healthcare landscape that often feels impersonal and complicated, that might be the most refreshing renewal of all.

INTUITIVE SPINE TAKES A GENTLE AND PRECISE APPROACH TO CHIROPRACTIC CARE

For Dr. Trae Masten, quality chiropractic care starts with a conversation. Patients walk into Intuitive Spine’s office on Mt. Lookout Square, catching a whiff of freshly roasted coffee from the shop below. After being greeted by Masten’s partner, Cheyney Rose, they are offered a cup of herbal tea before meeting with Dr. Trae to begin a holistic look at their health. It’s this approach that Masten believes makes Intuitive Spine a different experience. “We want everyone to feel warmth and part of community,” Masten says. Rose describes the vibe in the office as “familial and communal, with lots of one-on-one time with Dr. Trae.” The initial meeting helps Masten get a complete picture of the patient. By understanding their entire body rather than a specific part he can find the root cause of the issue. This root cause approach to healthcare is a core aspect of Intuitive Spine. Masten says symptoms like pain, stiffness, anxiety, or tension are all signals of a problem that needs to be resolved, like a “check engine” light on a car’s dashboard. The body uses symptoms to sound the alarm that something needs to change. During Masten’s initial meeting with patients, he’ll take baseline measurements including posture and weight distribution to develop a custom treatment plan for the patient. This will typically start with weekly visits. Intuitive Spine’s treatment room is bathed in sunlight. Once in there, Masten’s treatment is different than other chiropractic practices. “We are more gentle. It’s more of a feeling of adjustment, more precise, more focused,” Masten says. “The approach other chiropractic practices often use is mechanistic, tending to CONTINUED >

focus on one area, not really the entire system.” Masten’s treatment doesn’t have the popping, cracking, and twisting often associated with chiropractic treatment. Intuitive Spine’s approach is called “Network Spinal.” Developed in the 1980s by Dr. Donny Epstein, it is based on the principle that there is an organizing wisdom or intelligence in all matter, and that within humans this intelligence expresses through the spine and nervous system. The approach looks at the spine as more than a collection of bones, but as the central communication system that sends messages throughout the body. “When you look at the spine,” Masten says, gesturing to an anatomic chart of the nervous system in his office. “It connects to every part of the body, our organs, cells, everything.” Gentle contact during treatment cues the brain into areas of tension and bound energy. Over time, the brain develops new strategies allowing the bound energy to be released and used by the body for healing. The portion of the spine closest to the brain can be a key area for treatment. Stress in that area of the spine can disrupt key processes across the body, and can lead to health problems like IBS, digestion issues, vertigo and more. Masten was an avid athlete while growing up (and still hits the hardwood for adult basketball games). This cultivated a passion for health and wellness that led him to an interest in healthcare. He initially studied traditional medicine but found it often fell short for patients, covering up symptoms with prescription medication. So, he switched to osteopathic medicine. After graduating from the Sherman College of Chiropractic in South Carolina, he and Cheyney set up their practice—and their lives—in Cincinnati. In the short time it’s been open, Intuitive Spine has developed a following, attracting patients from across the region. Many have been passed from specialist to specialist and not getting the results they are looking for and still dealing with chronic pain. “We had a patient who suffered from migraine headaches more than 20 times a month,” Masten says. “She went to several doctors and specialists who had her on prescription medicine. After coming here, she had fewer migraines to the point she no longer needs the medicine.” As for preventative care, Masten says time during the workday sitting behind a computer can create stress in the spine. He recommends getting up and moving around every 20 minutes. While the practice is out of network for most insurance, Masten believes everyone deserves access to spinal care and offers complimentary consultations to discuss treatment options. Ultimately, Intuitive Spine offers more than just treatment; it provides a unique, compassionate path to health. By prioritizing conversation, addressing the root cause, and utilizing the gentle, whole-body approach of Network Spinal, Dr. Trae and Cheyney Rose are helping patients move beyond chronic pain and medication dependence. As they continue to grow their practice, their hope is simple: that more people discover the power of tuning into their body’s inherent wisdom, fostering a healthier, more mindful community—one gentle, precise adjustment at a time.
