Cold & Flu Rescue:
Boost Your Immune System for Prevention
Fall is in the air! No need to suffer if you commit to simple prevention strategies.
Here are some tips to help you avoid succumbing to those nasty bugs. The keys are a healthy, strong immune system and stress management.
Eat a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. See our registered Dietician, Jessica Baker, for a personalized plan or sign up for a Grocery Tour.
Get regular exercise.
This "good" stress trains your body to respond well to other stresses to the immune system. Don't forget to rest 1 or 2 days each week, however. If you haven't done so yet, take advantage of your complimentary New Member Orientation with me. I'll connect you with one of our talented personal trainers to design the right program for you. If you've already had your initial orientation meeting, schedule another to update your program.
Practice mindfulness with one of our fabulous YOGA classes (included in your membership). Check the website for several
NEW CLASSES which
begin this week!
Stay connected.
Pick up the phone to call family. Make new friends by joining our PUR Running Club or Power Happy Hour.
Book a treatment at Nectar. Visit on T-W-TH to receive your Pura Vida member discount.
Consider a seasonal acupuncture tune-up.
See me for referral sources.
Boost your immune system.
Certain herbs, probiotics and mushrooms have been proven to boost the immune system.
For more details, feel free to contact me at DrKathleen@PuraVidaClub.com or 303.999.2934. I'll be happy to guide you to information on any of these subjects.

A Minute with Molly
THE POWER OF CHANGE
It has been said that change is the only constant in the universe.
One of the greatest challenges to creating change in life is incorporating new thinking that reflects and supports desired change.
The most powerful catalyst or deterrent to change is the same thing: it's your personal thoughts, that voice inside your head that tells you "I can" or "I cannot".
Not only is changing the way we think a tremendous challenge for humans, it is also the most critical piece of successfully implementing change. In short, change is impossible . . . unless accompanied by new thinking.
Does your daily thinking align with your fitness and wellness goals? Does your thinking reflect who you want to be, the things you want to achieve?
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." - Ghandi
To BE the change, you must first THINK you can create that change.
The most amazing transformations I have seen, working with people to reach their fitness and wellness goals, have come from moving through this process: DOING - THINKING - FEELING - BEING
It is moving from DOING what you've always done, to THINKING you can achieve steps to implement healthy change in your life to FEELING the power of change to BEING the healthy person you've imagined.
Think positive. Envision the power of change in your life. You can do it.
