Sue G. Collins, Amber Gregg, Visit Telluride

JANUARY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF NOT ONLY A NEW CALENDAR YEAR BUT ALSO THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SETTING PERSONAL GOALS. Perhaps you’ve resolved to exercise more regularly, take up a new hobby or volunteer at the local animal shelter. Whatever your goals may be, we hope the people, places, recipes, and tips and tricks in this issue will inspire you to focus on wellness in the New Year. And while diet and exercise are vital to your physical health, overall wellness includes your mental health as well. This month, we at Tulsa Lifestyle encourage you to live your best life by taking care of yourself both inside and out. We asked local experts for their favorite healthy recipes, workout routines and so much more. Thanks for reading, Tulsa, and happy New Year!

Brain Research and the Healthy Mind A Q & A WITH DR. MARTIN PAULUS ARTICLE KRISTY WHITE

MENTAL HEALTH IS A TOUGH SUBJECT TO TALK ABOUT, LET ALONE UNDERSTAND, AND HAS BECOME A MORE PROMINENT SUBJECT IN THE NEWS RECENTLY. The Laureate Institute for Brain Research (LIBR) aims to shed more light on treatment options through research. Dr. Martin Paulus, Scientific Director and President at LIBR shares some insight with Tulsa Lifestyle contributor Kristy White on what they are working on and tips for staying mentally healthy.

The Orange Zone A TRIFECTA OF SCIENCE, COACHING & TECHNOLOGY

SO WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO MOTIVATE YOU TO MOVE OFF OF THE COUCH AND INTO THE WORKOUT ZONE? Like most people who wish to get in better shape or lose a few extra pounds, it comes down to visible results. And not just the physical changes but mental ones as well must be a part of that pitch to get you off the couch. Orangetheory Fitness’ one-hour full body workout that focuses on creating Endurance, Strength, and Power may be just the motivation you need. The workout uses a person’s heart rate to maximize results. Members wear advanced heart rate monitors that show real-time results on large studio TVs. These readings allow professional, highly trained Fitness Coaches to monitor each individual and prevent them from over or under training. Using the five-zone heart-rate based interval training with a focus on the Orange Zone, members can expect to burn anywhere from 500-1000 calories in a class no matter their fitness level. In addition, one will continue to burn calories for 36 hours after the initial workout.

“So our members can work out for only 3-4 hours a week, but will be burning calories 166 hours in the week,” says Eric Moerman. Orangetheory Fitness uses a multi-point method to achieve maximum results. First, a scientific approach is used to create a workout which metabolically charges the body. Next enhances

with OTconnect™ interactive technology which delivers the person’s heart rate data and performance metrics in real-time. So from the moment one steps on a treadmill, their OTbeat™ wearable device will seamlessly connect projecting one’s stats right in front of them. The most inviting part of the Orangetheory Fitness experience is that each workout is tailored to the individual. This allows for each participant to not only experience a sense of unity with the trainers but to also feel that they are the primary focus during an incredible workout. Orangetheory Fitness is a workout that becomes a lifestyle of health and fitness where members become a family regardless of where they are in their journey of fitness.

“I started with OTF in 2012 in Phoenix, AZ and I have never looked back. The amazing energy and atmosphere of our studios in Oklahoma is so addictive and it just makes you want to come back.

Each day the classes are different so you never do the same class twice!! For me, this is one of the most important aspects to OTF as I have been doing these workouts for years and I am always challenged in every single class and never get bored.”
