n today’s Western world, the demands on the mind and body are great. From the increased amount of time many of us spend in front of screens to the toxins in our food, air and water, wouldn’t it be great if there was a place that offers comprehensive health solutions rooted in self-care and sustainability?

causing pain, inflammation, weight loss resistance and chronic health conditions.
To ring in its second decade, Santa Fe Soul is launching an audacious new service that compounds much of what was previously offered into one complete package in one room: the Body Optimization System Studio.
Dr. Robyn Benson, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, founded Santa Fe Soul Center for Optimal Health 11 years ago, and every detail was built with intention. The center boasts 15 practitioners who specialize in just about every holistic practice available, from acupuncture, hormone
The Body Optimization System Studio (or B.O.S.S. for short) launched February 2016. B.O.S.S. functions like a gym in that people may sign up for a membership and come as often as they feel is necessary. The goal is to reenergize and detox on a cellular level while removing the barriers that are
“We’re as healthy as our 70 trillion cells,” Dr. Benson notes. “In today’s world, people are wired, tired and sick. They’re not producing energy in the mitochondria of their cells. The B.O.S.S. room is the ultimate gym for your brain, hormones and body.” Services include cold laser pain management, body composition analysis, exercise with oxygen training, a Mercola vitamin D tanning bed and much more. Santa Fe Soul was founded as a sanctuary for health and wellness. When visitors walk in, they are greeted by a prayer wall painted
by Jim Leisure that represents several healing and spiritual traditions from every corner of the globe. “Our therapies originate all over the world,” explains Dr. Benson, who herself has traveled to 74 countries. From the herbal pharmacy that draws upon herbs from 26 companies, to the 10 treatment rooms and new B.O.S.S. room, the vision of Santa Fe Soul provides a framework for self-care. A go-to for people who suffer from pain, hormone imbalances and auto-immune disorders, in the words of Dr. Christi Alsop, one of the center’s practitioners, “We want to get to the source of your prob-
lem, as well as inspire and educate you to care for your body.” One of the most popular treatments is Prolozone Therapy, a proliferous substance combined with ozone gas injected into a joint with the objective of rehabbing loose ligaments. Similarly, the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a concentrated blood sample containing high levels of platelets, a critical component of the wound healing process. Or there’s the Myers Cocktail, an introvenous vitamin infusion which enhances the immune system, releases fatigue, helps with allergies, and reduces the
symptoms of fibromyalgia and asthma. For Dr. Benson, it all comes down to selfcare and giving her patients the tools to be their own healthcare advocates. This is why she launched the online Self Care Revolution project in 2013. Her message extends well beyond the walls of Santa Fe Soul, though perhaps within those walls, and especially within the new B.O.S.S. room, is a very good place to start.
