Wellness Words

Dr. Kathleen Gross Reixach
Wellness Advisor
Leap Out of the Well!
Dr. John Amaro, the doctor I studied under for my acupuncture training, in responding to the American scientific and medical community's allegations of quackery regarding acupuncture would use the following quote: "The frog in the well knows not of the great ocean." Fortunately, today's medical community is beginning to espouse the fabulous benefits of acupuncture.
We all tend to see just what's on the surface and sometimes become comfortable with our own "status quo". When it comes to your health & fitness regime, I always commend our members for being consistent, which is the first and most necessary step for success.
However, there is an ocean of possibilities beyond what's on the surface. Dream BIG for yourself; then set a new challenge, ever so slightly outside your comfort zone. Meet with me for your Complimentary Wellness Consultation, or book a second one, and together we'll create a plan to help you leap out of the well of the status quo and achieve something BIG.
As a reward, I'll provide you with a 25% off massage certificate for Nectar Spa, just for booking your appointment with me.
Please contact me at
DrKathleen@PuraVidaClub.com or 303.999.2934 to schedule a convenient time.

A Minute with Molly
Exercise can not only make you physically, but also mentally, younger.
We've all heard that claim, but now the data and research is there to prove it. The British Journal of Sports Medicine reports that, "aerobic exercise can postpone aging by up to 12 years. Exercising aerobically improves oxygen consumption and delays biological aging." Exercise also improves cognitive ability. Psychiatrist and Harvard professor John Ratey describes how aerobic exercise can help keep one's thinking sharp: "Exercise increases the transmission of neurotransmitters that are vital to brain function and reduces the negative effects of stress and age-related brain-function deterioration." A University of Illinois study by Arthur F. Kramer, professor of psychology, found that "six months of exercise will buy you a 15-20% improvement in memory, decision-making ability, and attention."
You can read this, think, "that's nice" and delete . . . or you can make time for 30 minutes of cardio today . . . and four more days this week and be younger for it. What do you have to lose?
