The holiday season carries a certain magic with lights glowing in windows, meals shared with loved ones, and traditions that remind us of where we’ve come from. Yet it often arrives with something far less enchanting: stress. Between travel, gatherings, financial pressure, and endless schedules, the season meant for peace can quickly turn heavy. A wellness-centered holiday looks different. It’s slower, more intentional, more connected to your senses and surroundings. It’s abo

Cinnamon, this warm, spicy-sweet bark that we sprinkle in our lattes, swirl into baked goods, and dream of at holiday time, is much more than just a comforting kitchen staple. For millennia, it has enchanted cultures, inspired myths, and intrigues scientists as it has been one of the mainstream herbs across various cultures worldwide. Even in today’s world, cinnamon is a strong note in our High Tech Healing , Blissvana herbal tea blend, which supports the reduction of cortiso

Now in its third year, the NBA Cup has carved out a unique place in the league’s season. The in-season tournament runs alongside the regular schedule

The holiday season arrives wrapped in twinkling lights, warm gatherings, nostalgic music, and a little extra magic in the air. It’s a time when traditions take center stage, families reconnect, and communities come alive. It’s also the season when many of us try to do it all-shopping, hosting, baking, decorating, traveling, giving, and celebrating. We don’t always slow down long enough to consider what our bodies need during all the excitement. At Back In Action Chiropractic,

OsteoStrong Las Vegas As the twinkling lights of the Las Vegas Strip illuminate the holiday season, it’s easy to get swept up in feasts, festivities, and fleeting indulgences. But what if this year’s most meaningful gift to yourself wasn’t wrapped in ribbon? What if it were the promise of vitality that lasts decades, stronger bones, fewer fractures, and the freedom to chase grandkids (or grand adventures) well into your golden years? Enter OsteoStrong , the science-backed bon

As another year draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on 2025 and look ahead to 2026. Ask yourself: What did I do for my health this year?  How do you feel compared to last holiday season? Can you still do the things you enjoyed—or even more, thanks to real progress? We can’t stop time, but we can  choose how we step into the next year. This holiday, give the gift that keeps on giving: the gift of health —to yourself or someone you care about. Today’s world offers incredible

Why 2025 taught us that clarity, safety, and cellular harmony matter more than complexity. As this year comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on what truly shaped Desert Moon Wellness not just what we accomplished, but what we learned. And one truth became clear: People aren’t struggling because they don’t care about their health. People are struggling because they are overwhelmed and unbalanced at a cellular level. Most people aren’t looking for more protocols, trends, or n

I built my life around paying attention to people, to craft, to the small operators doing the real work. Over two decades of SteamyKitchen.com , three books, years cooking live on television…all of it taught me the same lesson: the people worth knowing are the ones who bet on themselves. The ones who build something from nothing. The ones who show up every day without a safety net. This section is my running log of those individuals: the risk-takers and the makers who keep La

And why that 2 a.m. ‘need to pee’ isn’t your bladder’s fault. Biohacking has a PR problem. Somehow it became synonymous with men in tech-grade gear, freezing themselves in tubs and tracking every variable like they're prepping for launch. And every time someone posts their biohacking cockpit online, it gets louder. The OG biohacker Dave Asprey’s $30,000 hyperbaric chamber. Billionaire self-experimentor Bryan Johnson scheduling his morning like mission control. Entire rooms gl

The concept of medical tourism has reached a new zenith in Tijuana, Mexico. Today, patients seeking the future of health are finding advanced regenerative medicine, world-class luxury, and a deeply compassionate, holistic approach at Holistic Care, all while realizing significant savings compared to treatments north of the border. Holistic Care Clinic is defining a new standard for the patient experience. We understand that your journey to optimal health must be seamless, whi

A woman entering menopause loses roughly one percent of bone mass per year and doubles her cardiovascular risk within a decade of her final menstrual period, largely due to estrogen decline and shifts in lipid, endothelial and autonomic regulation - a quiet inflection that shapes the next forty years of her life more than most realize (NAMS 2022; El Khoudary and colleagues in  Circulation and JAHA). When I sit with women at this crossroads, they often arrive with a swirl of s

Featuring insights from Pelvic Floor Occupational Therapist, Mayra Olivares, OTR Many of us have heard of pelvic floor therapy, Reiki, or myofascial release, but rarely do we see them woven together in a single, trauma-informed healing space. As an occupational therapist passionate about nervous system regulation and self-care, I was curious about how these disciplines could intersect to support deeper healing. So I collaborated with Mayra Olivares, an occupational therapist,

2025, the Year of the Snake, arrived like an initiation. It was a year of shedding, releasing, and uncomfortable truth-telling, the kind of year that changes the shape of a person from the inside out. And if your year felt intense, disorienting, or strangely transformative, you were not alone. For many of us, the ground was shifting in ways that demanded a level of honesty we could no longer postpone. For me, this was the most challenging and revealing year of my life. It dee

As a team that has spent more than a decade interviewing leaders in the wellness space, we at Vegas Wellness   Magazine  are always drawn to practitioners whose work is rooted in both expertise and heart, and Lindsey Gambit is exactly that. When I sat down with her, it became immediately clear why patients across Nevada trust Infusion Care for everything from complex infusion therapy to advanced aesthetics and long-term wellness support. Her story, her mission, and her approa

What does abundance mean to you? Is it a feeling… a state of mind… or simply financial wealth? For me, abundance has always been an energy — something I was born with, a radiant frequency that flows through me, magnetizing more of itself into my life.  Abundance begins with gratitude, with the quiet joy of knowing you are already enough. When I align with happiness, well-being, and trust, everything else — including financial prosperity — naturally follows.  To me, true abund

Before I ever learned to thrive under pressure, there was motherhood. Motherhood taught me grit, grace, and preservation, the kind of strength that shows up in the quiet between the highs, in the still moments touched by divine intervention. As we enter the season of gratitude, I’ve been reflecting on how motherhood prepared me for one of the most important wellness lessons of all: that gratitude changes everything. The past two months have been powerful reminders of what we

In today’s always-on world, folks are ditching traditional wellness routines and finding relief in the most unexpected place: the playground. Play Playground is at the forefront of the “joy-as-wellness” movement. With full-body, screen-free games designed to spark laughter, movement and connection, it’s where fitness meets fun, think serotonin boost via dodgeball, versus downward dog. These days, we’re seeing a major shift toward experiences that prioritize mental health thro

In the pursuit of natural wellness solutions, halotherapy, also known as salt therapy, has gained increasing popularity as a holistic treatment for a range of respiratory and skin conditions. Rooted in ancient healing practices and modern wellness trends, halotherapy involves inhaling micro-particles of dry salt in a controlled environment, often in a “salt room” or salt cave. But what exactly are the benefits of this salt-infused air? Let’s explore how halotherapy may suppor

It’s easy to get caught up in the daily hustle of life, but learning to apply concepts of Occupational Therapy (OT) to aspects of your day can drastically improve the quality of your life. Our nervous system is constantly responding to stressors, and learning to regulate is key to emotional balance, focus, and overall wellness. That’s where OT comes in. Occupational therapy isn’t just for injuries. The application of OT fundamentals can help manage stress, maintain routines,

As rates of anxiety, depression, and substance use continue to climb across the U.S., conversations around mental health are more urgent than ever. Yet, one crucial perspective remains missing. In her captivating new book, An American Awakening: The Interdependent Relationship of Spirituality and Mental Health , Aymie Daniels introduces the little-known concept of “Spiritual Emergency” and opens a timely conversation about how America understands (and often mislabels) extreme
