LIFESTYLE LETTER
Starting the Year in Alignment January has always felt like a quiet reset for me. The world slows down just enough for us to notice the things that we’ve ignored while we were rushing from one moment to the next. And in that stillness, something softer happens—we finally hear ourselves again. This issue is an invitation to return to your center. Not the version of wellness that pressures us, but the one that brings us back home to who we really are. For me, real health has never been just about the body. It’s the way your thoughts shape your day before your feet even touch the floor. It’s how your body responds when you treat it with kindness instead of criticism. It’s the peace that comes when your soul feels seen, heard, and allowed to take up space. When your mind, body, and soul are connected, life simply moves differently. There’s more clarity, more openness, and more courage to choose what truly feels right for you—not what the world insists should be right. This month, we’re highlighting the people and businesses in our community who understand that wellness is personal and who remind us that taking care of ourselves is not just about living longer, it’s about living better, deeper, and more intentionally. As you flip through these pages, I hope something awakens in you—a gentle reminder to check in with yourself, to soften a little, to honor what you need as you step into a brand-new year. Here’s to beginning 2026 aligned from the inside out. Here’s to clarity, vitality, and a mind-body-soul connection that carries you through the rest of the year with strength and grace.

YEAR
Local experts share their body wellness tips for 2026 You’ve heard the mantra, “new year, new me.” But how do you make 2026 the year it actually sticks—especially when it comes to your health and wellness? With the extra demands and stress of the holiday season in the rearview mirror, a new year presents an opportunity to focus on what is often neglected: your body. A few small changes can make a big difference in both the way you look and feel, and with many local, modern options at your disposal to support you, getting your body in shape can be accomplished.
HALCYON HEALTH
Specializing in hormone replacement therapy, Rachel Bowers knows firsthand how it feels to be desperate for change. Rachel, a physician assistant at Halcyon Health, treats patients with passion and empathy from her own long-term experience suffering from hormone imbalance. The symptoms can seem unsuspecting, but hormone imbalances can reveal itself in many ways. “Common symptoms [both in men and women] may include weight gain, poor sleep, brain fog/lack of ability to focus, fatigue, and/or skin changes (acne or dry skin),” Rachel shared. Aging naturally causes a dip in hormones. “It is across the board, and no one escapes this,” she explained. “Hormones are so important and so effective in improving our health because they work to support every single system and cellular activity within our bodies.” While modifications to diet and exercise are helpful in managing symptoms, healthier habits alone cannot replace a missing hormone. “There is no amount of clean eating or exercise that
18
H EA LT H Y LIF E ST Y LE | H E ALT H + WE LLN E SS
will ‘balance’ a hormone your body no longer makes,” said Rachel. “This is where BHRT comes in.” BHRT, or Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, is treatment designed on an individual basis that combines symptom relief and root cause targeting. It is a whole-body approach that Rachel and the Halcyon team dedicate their practice to, in addition to offering a variety of wellness services to benefit anyone in need. “Halcyon not only supports your wellness through hormone optimization, but also through ancillary services such as IV nutrients and hydration and contrast therapy,” shared Rachel, whose biggest advice in taking care of yourself is not ignoring the signs your body gives you. “If you notice that you’re feeling more tired than usual, can’t sleep through the night anymore, or are struggling to focus, those are all indicators that something is shifting in your body, and prevention is better than correction.”
BODY20
Exercise can fit in with your busy schedule with a fitness studio like BODY20 in Summerlin South. Garrett Tunis is the owner of the studio revolutionizing effective workouts that promise results with a simple yet impressive motto: train smarter, not longer. “At BODY20, we thrive on helping our clients maximize strength and minimize time,” Garrett said. “We see a lot of busy professionals, parents and entrepreneurs who love the idea of getting a powerful, science-backed workout without spending hours in the gym.”
“You don’t need hours in the gym or an extreme plan to see real results. You just need to start, stay committed and find something that fits your lifestyle.” - Garrett Tunis

“There is no amount of clean eating or exercise that The BODY20 concept is popular for its customized, one-on-one training sessions with a certified coach that require just 20 minutes a week. Using cutting-edge technology and personalized coaching, “Each 20-minute session uses electro-muscle stimulation (EMS) to activate every major muscle group simultaneously–something traditional workouts can’t do much in such a short time,” he added. Every session is equal to four hours in the gym with a guarantee of 36,000 muscle contractions and is a commitment to your health that impacts nearly every aspect of your life. Garrett is inspired by the transformations he witnesses daily. “Many of our members walk in feeling pressed for time, discouraged by traditional fitness routines, or unsure of where to start,” he shared. “Within just a few sessions, you can see their confidence build as they realize how effective these 20-minute personalized workouts really are.” This revelation is often the only motivation needed to keep pushing towards goals previously regarded as unattainable. “Our clients consistently tell us how empowering it is to fit an effective, full-body workout into their week without sacrificing family time, work or other commitments.” Getting your body in shape, Garret says, is all about taking the first step–and keeping it moving. “You don’t need hours in the gym or an extreme plan to see real results,” he stressed. “You just need to start, stay committed and find something that fits your lifestyle.”
INFINITE WELLNES
One of Jennifer Haas’ favorite quotes is from Benjamin Franklin: “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” Jennifer is the owner of Infinite Wellness Las Vegas, a medical clinic serving patients by helping them feel good from the inside so they can look their best on the outside. With services like GLP injections, Anti-Aging, and Peptide Therapy, Infinite Wellness can treat anything from common issues like hair loss and inflammation to Botox and sports massages; they have something for everyone no matter where they are on their health journey.

“We only get one body, so we have to take care of it from remaining active to being vigilant about our nutrition,” Jennifer said. When more is needed, she and her team are there for support with the necessary medical intervention or special care their body may need. Stem Cell Therapy is the clinic’s primary treatment that offers patients an alternative to surgery or the traditional corticosteroid injection. “Infinite Wellness uses mesenchymal stem cells which have a growing number of applications from repairing and replacing cells, tissues or organs, joint healing, anti-aging, reducing inflammation and pain management.” For Jennifer, watching patients experience the same life-changing relief she has with the proper care inspires her to in her mission of helping men and women transform their health. “When you see someone who has become almost immobile from years of pain get stem cell treatment and within two weeks is lifting heavy equipment with no pain, I don’t see how you couldn’t want to scream it from the rooftops so that everyone knows this treatment is available, affordable and provides real results,” she exclaimed.

“WE FINALLY HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO RECREATE A TRUE COCKTAIL EXPERIENCE WITHOUT ALCOHOL.”
Dry January marks a growing shift toward mindful drinking, and Las Vegas is embracing this movement with Sin City Saints, the city’s first dedicated adult nonalcoholic beverage shop. Founded by Eryn Korby, aka “Korby,” Sin City Saints delivers a boutique experience where locals can discover premium zero-proof spirits, wines, and brews. Each offering is thoughtfully curated to redefine mindful drinking in a city celebrated for its nightlife. With more than 20 years as a bartender, Korby’s personal journey of embracing zero-proof options inspired Sin City Saints. “We finally have the technology to recreate a true cocktail experience without alcohol,” she says. Sin City Saints is not about mocktails but about elevated, intentional drinks that can hold their own on any cocktail menu. This approach fills a niche in Vegas, a city traditionally tied to hard partying but now increasingly embracing wellness and sophisticated alcohol-free options. Sin City Saints goes beyond retail. It is backed by Saints Beverage Group, Nevada’s first zero-proof beverage consultancy and brokerage. Korby works with bars and restaurants to build mindful drinking programs, providing menu development, training, education, and premium brand placements.

“Sin City Saints is not about mocktails but about elevated, intentional drinks that can hold their own on any cocktail menu, filling a niche in a city traditionally tied to hard partying.”
choice for many, venues that treat these drinks as serious cocktails—balanced, complex, and creative—are the ones setting themselves apart. Among Korby’s favorite brands featured at Sin City Saints are Amethyst Zero Proof, with botanical profiles that mirror classic spirits, and Dromme Calm, an herbaceous spirit infused with adaptogens and nootropics perfect for wellness-minded consumers. Also popular is Plaid Circus, a tea-based spirit with layered, creative flavors, alongside Austrian dealcoholized wines from Zeronimo and Australian NON verjus-based wine alternative, crafted to pair beautifully with fine dining. Korby herself has crafted signature zero-proof cocktails such as her Lavender Espresso Martini, which has developed a local following, and pre-batched cocktails that help bars smoothly launch zero-proof programs without needing to master new mixology skills from scratch. These innovations help venues meet growing demand and guest expectations for quality zero-proof offerings. For those trying Dry January for the first time, Korby offers uplifting advice: “Start by exploring, not restricting. You don’t

have to give up the ritual; upgrade it.” Whether unwinding after work, hosting friends, or attending a party, Sin City Saints helps people find the drink that fits them best, from easy spritzers to smoky, complex whiskey alternatives. The shop makes discovering alcohol-free options fun, creative, and judgment-free. January also marks two years since Korby launched Sin City Saints—perfect timing to introduce her new House of Saints. This upcoming venture, launching early 2026, will offer a more designdriven, ultra-premium zero-proof experience for luxury markets in the Southwest and Mountain West, including Scottsdale, Aspen, and Park City. Sin City Saints will remain the core, public face of her mission to bring mindful drinking into everyday life for Las Vegas locals. A standout featured cocktail is “Smoke & Zenfire,” which combines the tea-based Plaid Circus Kimono Dragon with lemon aperitif, smoky agave, blood orange syrup, and a hint of habanero tincture for a warming kick, topped with a splash of lemon seltzer. Another specialty, “Big Apple Spice,” provides a wintry take on a classic Manhattan, featuring zero-proof whiskey alternatives,

herbal amaro, bitters, and apple spice syrup rimmed with golden sugar and garnished with fresh apple slices. The broader beverage industry reflects this shift, with national trends showing that nearly 40% of consumers now abstain from alcohol or reduce consumption, driven largely by Gen Z and millennials who prioritize health, wellness, and functionality. Functional drinks like adaptogen mocktails, enhanced hydration beverages, and nonalcoholic spirits are now essential menu items—not novelties. These offerings help Vegas bars and restaurants meet the demand for inclusion and wellness year-round. Sin City Saints embodies a local response to these changing preferences, inviting Las Vegas residents to embrace mindful drinking as a choice of sophistication, health, and community. The shop turns sober December or Dry January into an opportunity for discovery, helping people craft intentional experiences without the alcohol but with all the flavor, ritual, and fun. For those interested in embracing mindful drinking this year and beyond, Sin City Saints offers a welcoming gateway to a rich world of alcohol-free spirits, wines, and brews designed to enhance celebrations, social moments, and everyday life in Las Vegas. Visit the boutique in the Arts District or shop online to discover what the future of mindful drinking really tastes like.

F I V E S I M P L E E X E R C I S E S A N Y O N E C A N D O D A I LY TO BUILD STRENGTH AND BOOST ENERGY ARTICLE BY ALEXANDER FRASER
AT- H O M E
FITNESS Fitness doesn’t have to be a complicated or intimidating pursuit. In fact, some of the most effective workouts require nothing more than your own body and a little bit of space. For many, the idea of going to a gym or buying equipment creates barriers that keep them from moving regularly. But with just a few basic bodyweight exercises, you

can build strength, improve mobility, and boost your energy right at home. The best part? These moves are beginner-friendly, easy to modify, and can fit into even the busiest schedules. Starting a new fitness habit can feel daunting, but remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. Every movement you commit to builds momentum and confidence. Whether you have 10 minutes or 30, consistency matters, and it all adds up. That first step opens the door to a healthier, stronger you. Caring for yourself through movement is one of the most powerful ways to support both mental and physical wellness.
BODYWEIGHT SQUATS
Squats strengthen your legs, glutes, and core. Stand with feet hip-width apart, lower your hips back and down like sitting in a chair, keeping knees behind toes. Return to standing. Aim for 2 sets of 10-15 reps. Use a chair for support if needed.
WALL PUSH-UPS
Wall push-ups are a gentle upper body exercise that builds chest, shoulder, and arm strength. Stand facing a wall with hands shoulder-width apart, lean forward lowering your chest toward the wall, then push back. Do 2 sets of 10-15 reps. Increase difficulty by stepping further from the wall as strength grows.
SEATED LEG LIFTS
Sit on a sturdy chair with back straight. Lift one leg straight out, hold for a few seconds, lower slowly. Repeat 10-15 times per leg. This strengthens lower abs and thighs and can improve balance.
STANDING CALF RAISES
Stand tall near a wall or chair for balance, rise onto your tiptoes slowly, hold briefly, then lower heels back down. Do 2 sets of 15-20 reps. Calf raises strengthen lower legs and improve circulation. CONTINUED >

GENTLE STRETCHING
End each session with gentle stretches to improve flexibility and relax muscles: neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, hamstring stretches, and side bends. Hold each stretch for 20-30 seconds and breathe deeply. These exercises require no special gear and can be done anywhere, perfect for starting or restarting an exercise routine. Start slow, listen to your body, and celebrate each small victory. Regular movement enhances energy, mood, and overall wellbeing year-round.

S E R V ING OUR K ID S FIGHTING CHILD HUNGER BY HELPING KIDS THRIVE WITH RELIABLE NUTRITION
ARTICLE BY ELAINE AND SCOTT HARRIS PHOTOGRAPHY BY SERVING OUR KIDS FOUNDATION
34
K I D S M E N U | L I FE + C ULT U RE
When funding for feeding Southern Nevada’s most vulnerable children was halted, the strain was felt across the valley. In the absence of dependable support, Serving Our Kids Foundation (servingourkids.org) stepped up to help fill the gap for food-insecure families, making a real difference in the lives of thousands. Founded in 2013, Serving Our Kids Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit devoted to ensuring children can dream about the future, not just about food. “Hungry kids don’t dream of the future. They dream of food. We’re feeding
their dreams,” affirms CEO Laurie Tanakaya. The foundation’s regular meal bag program delivers hope and sustenance to at-risk youth through a broad coalition of donors, advocates, and volunteers. Every week, volunteers make sure no child has to go without food over the weekend. “We are very fortunate to have a large, dedicated group of volunteers helping ‘Serving Our Kids.’ Each week we pack and deliver weekend meal bags to 100 Clark County, K-8th grade schools. Funding is critical to our mission,” Laurie says, emphasizing the necessity of ongoing community support. The impact of stable meals is profound. Nutritious food is the foundation of children’s mental focus, academic growth, and social development. Numerous studies show that kids with reliable access to healthy meals attend school more often, participate more fully, and perform better in class. When hunger is removed from the equation, children are better able to learn, overcome challenges, and thrive, both in and out of school. As the nonprofit says, “Children are the center of our universe. And we value the health, well-being and future of every child. As crusaders in the never-ending battle against child hunger, our values help give us the strength to keep fighting, to keep driving forward and serving more kids.” When school is out, access to reliable meals disappears, putting many children at risk of hunger. “Summertime, when school is not in session, is a challenge. During the year we partner directly with the schools and their administration. Long term, we hope to develop partnerships that can help with a summertime solution,” Laurie explains.
Volunteers are still the backbone of Serving Our Kids. Locals can register online to help assemble bags at the warehouse on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Skilled professionals in areas like marketing or technical trades are also encouraged to assist with community events. David Archer, Executive Director, oversees daily operations and seeks new partnerships to keep the program thriving. The need remains urgent. Each day, more than 100,000 children in Clark County face food insecurity. While school meal programs offer relief during the week, few extend help to weekends, making Serving Our Kids critical to bridge that gap. Laurie’s conviction carries forward: “I am proud to serve as a full-time volunteer CEO. One child at a time; we will take steps to end child hunger in our community.” For many families, the foundation is more than a food source, it is a promise of a brighter future. As Southern Nevada continues to face possible funding delays and uncertainty, Serving Our Kids Foundation proves that local action, compassion, and partnership can help protect children’s health and well-being, one meal at a time.

HEALTHY START GRANOLA BARS ARTICLE BY SIENNA SINCLAIR
January always feels like a clean slate: a time when balance, energy, and wholesome habits come back into focus. Instead of reaching for store-bought snacks with extra sugar or preservatives, start fresh with a batch of homemade granola bars. These raw vegan Superfood Granola Bars are just the thing to keep you nourished through busy mornings, mid-day cravings, or post-workout hunger. Made with natural sweetness and rich texture from oats, dates, dried fruit, and seeds, they’re easy to customize and even easier to love. Form them into compact squares or roll them into bite-sized energy balls for an on-the-go treat that’s full of flavor and purpose.

Su p e rfo o d G ra n ol a B a r s Ingredients • 1 cup rolled oats • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates (about 10–12), softened in warm water • 1/3 cup sliced almonds • 1/3 cup raw pumpkin seeds • 1/3 cup dried cranberries • 2 tablespoons chia seeds • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds • 2 tablespoons almond butter or cashew butter • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or raw agave nectar • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • Pinch of sea salt • Optional: 1 tablespoon finely grated orange peel or 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots for a citrus or tangy twist Directions 1. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. 2. In a food processor, pulse oats, dates, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until the mixture clumps together but still has some texture. It should hold when pressed between your fingers. 3. Add almonds, pumpkin seeds, cranberries, chia, flax seeds, and optional orange peel or apricot pieces. Pulse a few more times to combine while keeping visible bits of nuts and fruit. 4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and press it evenly into the corners using the back of a spatula. For a firmer texture, place the pan in the fridge for 1–2 hours. 5. Lift out the chilled mixture using the parchment overhang and slice it into bars or squares. 6. For granola energy balls, roll tablespoon-sized portions between your palms into compact rounds. Chill until firm.
“Packed with oats, dates, and superfood seeds, these raw vegan bars deliver pure, lasting energy—perfect for powering busy mornings or healthy snacking.”
Store your freshly made granola snacks in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer freshness. They make an energizing breakfast companion or afternoon pick-meup—a wholesome habit you’ll actually want to keep beyond January.
