LIFESTYLE LETTER
New Year, New Possibilities! The start of a new year brings the heart of renewal and the anticipation of change. As we look ahead to a new year—ideas, plans, and maybe even dreams—start to form. For some this is an exciting time, full of possibilities. For others, it might bring pressure and the weighty sensation of expectations. This issue of Mesa City Lifestyle was designed to inspire you to make improvements in whatever area you feel is needed most. Right now, the story of 2026 is both in the drafting and in the brainstorming phases. Each day is a new page to live out—to write, keeping with my metaphor. As we look ahead, we get to make plans and dream a little bit— the brainstorming. All we have to do is move forward with purpose, intention, and an open heart. Every story has, what I call, an underlying thread that ends up being what everything else points back to. What will your narrative for this year be? So, make the plans, dream a little bit, and build habits that lead to consistency. Life isn’t about perfection or being the embodiment of a best-selling novel. Life is the enjoyment of the story, a story that will be told for generations to come. We might not remember the small details of every day, but we will remember the consistent things, the underlying thread that tied everything together. We will remember the narrative of the year. In these pages, I hope you find a new book to pick up, a new habit to form, or even a new skill to learn. I hope you can fill the pages of this year with new habits, improvements, or maybe just more consistency for what you know you need. Here’s to a happy (and healthy) 2026!

The start of the year always brings to mind the idea of trying new things, learning new skills, and making a commitment to something. With Eastin Aviation you can broaden your skillset and your horizons, instead of hoping to spread your wings and fly, you can learn to fly. Eastin Aviation, owned and operated by Brent Eastin, is more than just a flight school. They are the solution for all aviation needs. They offer a range of services and for those things they don’t provide, their network of partnerships ensures that you are always in good hands. After talking with Brent though, it is obvious that the heart behind Eastin Aviation is the love and joy of flying. It’s the simple appreciation, the thought of wow, I get to fly, that is the heart behind everything they do. With a variety of programs, Eastin Aviation is bringing up the next generation of pilots with their license programs along equipping pilots with add-on options. Whether you want to become a commercial pilot and fly with airlines, you want to be able to fly yourself for fun, or you want to become someone who teaches the next generation, you will find your perfect program at Eastin Aviation.

Brent Eastin grew up in an entrepreneur family. He was born in Seattle, after his parents moved there from New Mexico, pursing an interest and passion for Windsurfing. They were professional Windsurfers and ran an instructional school. Eventually, his father got into auto glass and moved the family to Fountain Hills, AZ and started a new business. They would move around a few more times before Brent would go to college at Fort Louis, majoring in economics with a minor in business and administration. Economics seems like a weird starting point to land in aviation, when asked, Brent was quick to laugh and explain how he realized that anything dealing with his degree would require more degrees and more school time. At the end of the day, Brent didn’t want to be behind a desk. He went to work for his parents’ company before biting the bullet and going to aviation school—ATP at Mesa Gateway. (Thanks to his dad for getting his pilot’s license when Brent was a child, exposing him to the possibility). During flight school, Brent’s plan was to pursue the commercial pilot path—the one that lead to working with airlines. However, he started working with flight schools and the more he taught, the business that we know as Eastin Aviation was taking place. Business was never something he aspired to; it came naturally to him and he realized, he didn’t want to be living out of a hotel for most of his life, he wanted to be more than the guy who was just flying. Taking the pros and cons from what he had seen in the industry, he took the plunge to launch Eastin Aviation. Pilots are never done learning and Eastin Aviation is there to teach them. Eastin Aviation is bringing a good taste back to small business. Small business makes up over 90% of the job market and it is through small business that communities are brought together. The aviation community is one that is fun, amazing and full of love and passion for flying. It’s a community you should consider joining. CONTINUED >

Let's Talk About CBD ARTICLE BY ASHLEIGH UNDERWOOD PHOTOGRAPHY BY SONJA STAFFORD
If you’ve been looking for a more natural way to work on health and wellness, you might have heard of CBD. One Mesa family has combined their entrepreneur spirit and their love of health and wellness and opened up SunMed Your CBD Store. We asked some questions to learn more about CBD, keep reading for our conversation.
Q: WHAT EXACTLY IS CBD?
Technically, CBD is short for Cannabidiol. It is a natural occurring component in the hemp plant. All creatures with vertebrae have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) in their body which produces cannabinoids. CBD is the natural component
20
H EA LT H Y LIF E ST Y LE | H E ALT H + WE LLN E SS
that can be supplemented to regulate that system. Like many other natural components such as digestive enzymes, collagen, testosterone, estrogen, etc., many humans and pets produce less over time so adding CBD simply gets their body back into homeostasis, a very fancy word for inner balance or feeling better.
Q: ARE THERE ANY MENTAL EFFECTS OF CBD?
Not in a negative way. Since CBD helps get the body back into homeostasis, when energy or focus is low, it can help improve that. Similarly, if sleep is what the body and brain need, it can help promote that too.
Q: WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CBD?
In short, it regulates the largest system of receptors in your body so the benefits can range from dealing with internal inflammation that causes everyday aches and pains, stress, sleep issues, weight gain, focus and many more.

No destination is too far for us to bring our exceptional service to you. “We got married 10.07.2023 in Strawberry Arizona at the Rim! Josh & Kasandra went up & beyond to make our day SO special! We got married in the woods with a limited power supply and limited notice for the exact location of our wedding! (Because it’s the middle of the woods and you never know!) They took the time to meet us at our wedding location on the Rim days before the wedding! They took the time to ensure we were happy with the food and if we had enough to eat! Their crew was so helpful in arranging the tables and even table settings! They even packed our leftovers which we are still enjoying today!! A huge shout out to Kasandra who took the time to help me breathe, take a moment to myself, and let me know it was my turn to walk down the aisle from afar! Thank you both so much! Our day wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for you guys! We would %100 recommend The Local Catering company as your choice for catering!!!” - Olivia Hammond
Q: WHAT IS THE BIGGEST MYTH ABOUT CBD?
That taking it will result in psychoactive effects. SUNMED CBD is derived from hemp thus does not have that concern. Many professional jobs have “no tolerance” stipulations for their employees CONTINUED >

regarding THC (the component in the marijuana plant that gets people “high”). We are not a dispensary; we sell all natural supplements and none of the products come from the marijuana plant. Every product has been 3rd party tested to give our customers proof and reassurance.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR #1 HEALTH & WELLNESS TIP?
Don’t wait for pain or health issues to get to such an unbearable level that it jeopardizes your daily activities. Be proactive and when you address them be consistent and patient with routine. If the issue has been problematic for weeks or months, realize that one or two days of remedies will not fix everything.

ARTICLE BY APRIL SCHULTE-BARCLAY
Values Is the most important key to living a full and healthy life hiding from you? There are many factors to consider when thinking about what constitutes health. The food we eat, exercise, environmental influences, our emotions, and our spiritual awareness are all pillars of health. However, there is one factor that tops the list which often goes unspoken; living in alignment with your value system. Defining values helps a person to structure their life based on personal belief systems by determining what is most meaningful and important to them. From there, a sense of purpose is derived and defined values become tenets from which to live. There are plentiful examples of values, and they vary from person to person. Some examples of values include family, humility, benevolence, leadership, kindness, independence, creativity, and adventure. Our emotions serve to guide us to understanding whether our actions are in alignment with our values. When we live incongruently with our value system, we are betraying ourselves and delivering a subconscious message that we do not matter. Emotions that can come from not living in accordance with our values are based in fear and include anxiety, depression, anger, resentment,

Health
and jealousy. Living from a place of fear tends to foster bad habits such as addictive behavior, poor dietary choices, negative sleep habits, and unhealthy relationships. Physiologically, the natural flow of energy in the body becomes stuck, wreaking havoc in the body physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. From there, symptoms and illness ensue. However, when we love and respect ourselves enough, we will spend our time and energy according to our values and emotions where love becomes more prevalent. Those emotions include gratitude, joy, peace, comfort, connection, trust, and happiness. Living from love leads to a desire, willingness and commitment to engage in activities that fulfill our sense of purpose. By doing so, our body’s energy moves with ease. When our energy flows freely, we feel vital, healthy, purposeful, and joyful. Identifying our values becomes easier when we create space in our lives to understand what brings us meaning in life. Here are five steps to create space to aid in identifying your values:
5. Speak your values out loud
1. Grounding/Earthing I have experienced it myself and I hear so many others share a similar experience, that being in nature is healing. Getting our hands into the earth with gardening, walking along the beach, taking a hike, or even lying in the grass brings an almost indescribable sense of well-being. Connecting with the earth’s electrical charge is thought to aid in pain reduction, modulate the immune system, and reduce inflammation. It also can lead to feeling more centered, allowing us to focus on what is most important to us.
There are many benefits to literally speaking our truths and discussing our values out loud with a trusted confidant. Bouncing ideas and having meaningful discussions can help us determine our framework and organize our thinking. Sometimes friends and family may not provide the most objective perspectives and professional counseling or life coaching may be more appropriate, while at other times a friend or family member is the most perfect fit! When we live in alignment with our values, we are honoring ourselves in the most self-loving way. From there, our vibrancy shines to our loved ones, our neighbors and even strangers we see out and about. It becomes not only the best gift you can give yourself, but that of our community. So cheers to 2026, let’s make this the best year yet!
2. Meditation/prayer Setting your intentions in quiet solitude using meditation or prayer provides clarity. Meditation may seem overwhelming, but you can make it simple by not expecting perfection in the process. I suggest finding guided meditations online that grab your attention. Try various guided meditations until you find one that feels right.
3. Exercise In addition to the more obvious benefits of exercise, it temporarily unblocks stagnation thereby creating space for objectivity.
4. Journaling Getting thoughts on paper helps clarify intentions.

New Year, New Books Before smartphones, social media applications, and all the other technological advances that vie for our time, reading used to be a beloved pastime. In fact, before Google and Youtube, you would head to the library and search through books in order to learn new information. While we can enjoy the ease of Google and how quickly we can find the answers to our most pressing questions, sometimes, the best way to learn, is to pick up a book. Check out these different recommendations. Develop a new hobby, learn something new, or take a deep dive into history.

The New Frontier of Health AN INTERVIEW WITH DR. KYLE GILLETT
Why do so many people feel exhausted, foggy, or unwell, even when their medical tests insist everything is “fine”? Why are we prescribed quick fixes instead of being given real answers? Across modern medicine, a shift is happening. More patients are demanding real explanations, and more clinicians are rethinking what “healthcare” should actually mean. Leading that shift is Dr. Kyle Gillett, a dual board-certified physician in Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine and an expert in metabolic, hormonal, and preventive health. Through his clinic, research, and The Gillett Health Podcast, he’s become a trusted voice for people seeking science-based, root-cause solutions rather than symptom-based band-aids. “Functional medicine is really ‘root cause medicine,’” Dr. Gillett often says. “It’s about asking why the problem exists and not just quieting the noise.” In this Q&A, Dr. Gillett breaks down the most common questions he hears from patients and offers simple, actionable guidance anyone can begin using today.
1. “WHY DO I FEEL AWFUL EVEN THOUGH MY LABS ARE ‘NORMAL’?”
Dr. Gillett: I like to say, “There is no such thing as ‘we’ve done everything.’” We can always dig deeper. Often, the labs ordered are the wrong type of assay, or important markers like ferritin or SHBG—which binds testosterone and estrogen—are completely missed. Beyond lab work, there are other factors: mitochondrial health, sleep quality, mental health, and even how sensitive your dopamine and serotonin receptors are. “Normal” labs do not always equal normal physiology for you.

U N D E R S TA N D I N G T H E “WHY” BEHIND WELLNESS ARTICLE BY ANGELA BROOCKERD PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANIE JONES AND PROVIDED
2. “HOW DO I FIX MY ENERGY, BRAIN FOG, OR SLEEP WITHOUT 20 MEDICATIONS?”
Dr. Gillett: Start with a good, comprehensive lab panel to assess nutrients and hormones. Then build the foundation with sleep. My favorite tool is the 10/3/2/1/0 rule: • 10 hours before bed: No caffeine • 3 hours: Avoid large meals and alcohol • 2 hours: No vigorous exercise • 1 hour: No bright blue or white light • 0: No snoozing and no inconsistent sleep/wake times Aim for 7+ hours of high-quality sleep. When sleep improves, energy almost always follows.
3. “IS MY GUT ACTUALLY CAUSING ALL THESE OTHER PROBLEMS?”
Dr. Gillett: Gut health influences most major health issues, but it’s rarely the only problem. Diet is my second pillar of health for a reason. Exercise, sleep, and stress reduction all improve gut function too. Even simple tools like self-hypnotherapy apps can reduce gut-related symptoms. CONTINUED > JANUARY 2 0 2 6 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / M E SA A Z
31
4. “WHAT CAN I DO RIGHT NOW, TODAY, TO START FEELING BETTER?”
Dr. Gillett: Focus on the pillars of health: diet, exercise, sleep, stress, sunlight, social connection, and spiritual health. Treat them like habits and find ways to make them enjoyable or easy to start. Supplements and medications are supportive tools, not substitutes. Think of them like turbo chargers: they enhance a system that’s already functioning.
A FINAL WORD FROM DR. GILLETT
“The goal isn’t to tell people what to do, rather it’s to give them the information they need to decide what’s best for themselves.” By understanding the why behind your symptoms, labs, and lifestyle choices, you become the driver, not the passenger, of your health journey.
