Happy New Year!
January 2022 PUBLISHER
Hunter Martinez | hunter.martinez@citylifestyle.com AD DESIGNER
Matthew Endersbe
It’s a new year, and that signifies new beginnings and a fresh start. With how busy life becomes, it is a nice reprieve to be still for a moment and reflect on where we have been, what the past year has taught us, what we want to grow and learn from, and where we want to go from there. The practice of establishing new goals or a resolution for the coming year is something that can help us focus on what is truly a priority or at least what should be. Our January issue is dedicated to health and wellness in the New Year: eating right, physical fitness and purposeful connections. The importance of being healthy in body, mind and spirit is the focus of this issue. Our hope for you in this New Year is one of wellness, health and love. Here's to a healthy and happy 2022!

Cara Price, Creator of The Nourished Body and Soul, Touts the Paleo Lifestyle and its Healing Qualities ARTICLE BY STEPHANIE HASBROUCK | PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAWN MICHELLE PHOTOGRAPHY After living in constant pain for three years, Cara Price discovered food was one of the keys to healing. She began to follow the Paleo protocol by removing inflammatory foods from her diet, and in turn, improved her health and found her calling.
“This way of eating drastically improved my health. Once I began eating Paleo, I started rewriting recipe favorites, from before I was sick, in a way that followed a Paleo prescriptive and started cooking them for my friends and family,” Cara says. “People began CONTINUED > JANUARY 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/WE STF O RT WO RT H

asking me for my recipes and that’s how my blog, The Nourished Body and Soul was born.” The Paleo lifestyle promotes eating grass-fed pasture-raised meats, wildcaught seafood, healthy fats, vegetables, fruits and treats made with natural sweeteners. Foods like grains, refined sugars, processed meats, legumes, soy, corn and dairy are avoided. “Choosing to use Paleo guidelines as my lifestyle for eating has given me so much energy,” Cara says. “Choosing to eat Paleo consistently takes a decision and a determination, but it’s not difficult.” Cara encourages individuals to start slowly, and soon it will become habit. Try Cara’s Creamy Garlic Salmon, Chicken Pomodoro and Fudgy No-Bake Brownies, and you’re sure to be hooked! For more nutritional information and recipes, visit Cara’s blog, TheNourishedBodyandSoul.com.
Creamy Garlic Salmon INGREDIENTS • 4-6 ounce pieces of wild salmon • 4 tablespoons ghee, divided • 6 cloves garlic, minced • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved • 1 - 5 ounce container baby spinach, chopped • 1 cup light coconut milk
• • • • • •
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast 1 1/4 teaspoons salt for the sauce 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika freshly ground salt and pepper handful fresh basil, chiffonade cut
DIRECTIONS Generously salt and pepper the salmon filets with fresh ground salt and pepper. Make the sauce by pouring the coconut milk into a large mixing cup. Add in the nutritional yeast, salt, herbs de Provence and smoked paprika. Whisk vigorously and set aside. Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of ghee to the pan. Once it melts and is very hot, add the salmon cooking about 90 seconds - two minutes per side. Remove salmon to a plate and keep warm. Add in the remaining tablespoon of ghee and melt in the pan. Add the tomato halves and cook until the skin begins to blister - about one minute. Then add in the garlic and cook about 30 seconds. Add spinach to the pan and cook until mostly wilted, but still slightly crisp. Pour the sauce into the pan and simmer one minute. Then add the salmon back to the pan and cook on low until desired doneness is reached. Taste the sauce and adjust salt if necessary. Due to the varying acidity of tomatoes, the sauce may need a slight bit more salt. Garnish with fresh basil.

Health is Wealth Boost your Wellness at VIP Total Health & Hydration ARTICLE BY MICHELLE KELLEY | ILLUSTRATION BY ALYSSA GONZALEZ
VIP Total Health & Hydration is centered around providing clientele with whole health, holistic approach to their health and wellness. Most people who walk around are naturally dehydrated due to normal activity and the underconsumption of water. According to a recent study, 92% of the population suffers from at least one mineral or vitamin deficiency based on normal dietary intake shortcomings. Most people are overfed and
18
S ELF CA R E | FITNESS
undernourished because they are not consuming enough of the right kind of food. VIP provides clientele with a complete overview of their health and wellness by assisting with lab work to demonstrate undetected vitamin deficiencies, tailoring IV therapy to fit their needs, having a Nurse Practitioner (NP) create a healthy lifestyle plan, and coaching their clientele through the process of achieving a healthier lifestyle.
Time is of the Essence IV therapy is the quickest form of absorption for the human body. When clientele chooses to do IV therapy, they are guaranteed 100% absorption of the vitamin intake since the body does not have to digest, break down, and process it. When a person takes vitamins orally, they only absorb 10-20% of the vitamin, depending on whether the pill is a tablet or capsule. When vitamins are taken sublingually, absorption increases to only 50%.
Taking a Trip If you feel exhausted before taking a trip, IV therapy is right for you! Boosting the system with B vitamins, antioxidants, and immune-boosting vitamins prior to a trip can help minimize trip exhaustion by giving the system exactly what it needs.
Boost Your Healthcare Routine Most individuals are deficient in one or more vitamins. By providing your body with adequate vitamins and minerals, your body will function at a much higher level and help avoid illness. Getting vitamins to their appropriate level will ensure a healthier, happier lifestyle.
Prepping for an Athletic Feat and Sports Recovery Our Athletic Performance IV is one of our top sellers! A combination of antioxidants, b-12, and amino acids will improve muscle recovery, circulation and increase a person’s endurance, as well as help them to recover faster and feel better. CoQ10 is a ubiquitous injection supplement for this IV because it increases blood flow throughout the body and increases our cellular energy.
Boosting your Immune System It has never been more critical than now to ensure our immune system is boosted and functioning at full capacity. Our Immune Boost Infusion combines antioxidants, a multivitamin, zinc, selenium, vitamin C, and more to reduce the risk of virus intensity by naturally boosting the body’s defenses.
Reverse Aging NAD is one of the prime components to help reduce the effects of aging. NAD is a natural co-enzyme found in every cell of the body. NAD will naturally decrease as we age, and our cells will not function appropriately. This infusion actually improves brain function and repairs damaged cells.

When you meet Kara Baker, it doesn’t take long to figure out she’s a true blue (or rather, purple) TCU fan. She is an alumna, two of her three sons attended the university, and in 1958, her father helped carry TCU’s basketball team to victory in the Southwest Conference Tournament. “My blood runs purple,” says Baker. She’s passionate about fitness and fashion too. In 2017, after visiting her cousin’s yoga shop, she decided to challenge herself by combining the things she loved to create a business of her own. Located in the Cultural District, Move Althesiure carries an assortment of fashion-forward brands that are hard to find anywhere else. Among these brands are Beach Riot, Vintage Havana fashion sneakers and swimwear, NUX Active, Glyder, Alo Yoga, L*Space and the largest selection of Aviator Nation apart from stores in Austin and Aspen. “ My clothes can take you from the gym, to lunch, to a night on the town.” The business has been a blessing in disguise for Baker. “It started as owning a store and transpired into a real connection with people,” she says. When you consider her dedication to the community and partner it with her love of TCU sports, a collaboration with a player or a team seemed inevitable. Sure enough, once she connected with Lauren Heard, TCU’s star point guard, they knew it was a perfect match. “We realized how much shared
history we have,” says Heard. “It’s nice to work with someone familiar with what I’m doing.” Currently playing her last season, Lauren is getting her master’s in Liberal Arts and will enter a counseling specialization program next semester. Dedication to success has always been a part of her life. “My mom always says ‘do what you have to do, to do what you want to do,’” says Heard. This attitude resonated with Baker when it came time to consider Heard as Move Athlesiure’s brand ambassador. “Lauren represents positivity. She gets good grades, and she has good morals.” Their goal to promote female entrepreneurs and body positivity is only three months in the making, but both women truly believe in the cause. Kara goes out of her way to help her customers find the perfect fit in each brand she carries, and Lauren is thrilled to share the wide variety that the store carries. What are some of her favorite brands? “Any sweat bottoms or tops from Aviator Nation. I also love NUX, it’s super cute but comfortable. You can even wear it out at night,” she says. Want to see and learn more? Stop by Move Althesiure (3244 W 7th St.) or shop online at shopmoveathleisure.com. Don’t forget to use Lauren’s code LAURENH20 for 20% off!

LAUREN’S TIPS FOR TOP PERFORMANCE ON GAME DAY
01 // EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST. Even if you’re not a morning person, getting enough fuel on game day is a must. The good news is you can choose just about anything for breakfast! Whether you like it savory or sweet, there are choices for every type of palate. 02 // LISTEN TO YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC. When you’re prepping for the game, it’s important to find a way to get centered and focused. Lauren loves listening to R&B and Gospel music while she’s getting ready, so be sure to find the type of tunes that’ll get you into game mode. 03 // HEAD TO THE GYM OR FIELD FOR PREP TIME. Lauren believes it’s essential to arrive early, take some shots, dribble, and do a walk-through on the court or field to get into the mindset you need to perform at your highest level. 04 // TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY. Whether it’s seeing the sports trainer, using a massage tool, or getting taped up, Lauren stresses how important it is to have your body warmed up and ready to go before it’s time to join your team and get ready for the game.

Benefits of a
chemical-free home
HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO TURN YOUR HOUSEHOLD CHEMICAL-FREE? It's not as hard as you might think! We hear a lot about the dangers of chemical ingredients, but it's easy to ignore all of the warnings and keep using our favorite products. When you don't know of a better alternative, it's just what you do! However, all of those ingredients add up and can make a big difference in your health, as well as the health of your family and pets. The products that are most important to swap out depend on your lifestyle and what you use the most. If your little ones are eating food right off of the counter, you might consider the ingredients from the cleaner you just used to wipe it down and start by switching to a natural method.
ARTICLE HAYLEY HYER
If you have sensitive skin, you might start by taking inventory of your beauty and personal care products to see what you can replace. To get you started, here is a DIY product that you can make yourself for your chemical-free home.

DIY Laundry Scent Enhancer If you have ever added those popular scent beads to your load of laundry before, you know how lovely it is to pull your amazingly scented clothes out of the dryer. The funny thing about a product like that is it truly has no purpose other than adding a good smell, but it does add lots of chemicals to your daily life! There's a safer and more beneficial way to make your clothes smell heavenly. Try this DIY scent enhancer with your next load of laundry and put it to the test.
Ingredients 3 parts Epsom Salt + 1 part Baking Soda + Essential Oils
Directions Mix your ingredients together in a jar or canister and scoop about ¼ cup directly into the washer basin before adding the clothes—just like you would with scented beads. Continue with your laundry like normal.

For more information on starting a chemical-free household, you can browse online resources such as ChemFreeCom.com or find a social media group to join with likeminded people who have some experience from their own trial and error. If you get overwhelmed, remember that you don't have to get rid of all chemicals in one day. Every swap you make is something to celebrate!
