For over 30 years, fabulous women from the Chicagoland area have made Heartland Spa & Fitness Retreat their destination for relaxation and wellness.

Just an hour from Chicago this newly relocated spa located in the heart of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, in the Bella Vista suites, offers a unique opportunity to reboot in an intimate setting without the hassle of extended travel. Heartland president Harold Lebovic says, “Guests receive the time and attention they need to focus on their personal goals so whether that’s weight loss, increased energy or stress reduction, Heartland provides an opportunity for women to take care of themselves,” he says.

The spa offers a variety of all-inclusive packages, including a twonight stress-buster, a three night reboot and relax, a five night detox and rejuvenate, and a seven night get healthy getaway, dubbed “The Biggest Winner.” Packages include single or double occupancy accommodations, all meals and snacks and a selection of spa services, fitness workshops and discussions, as well as other daily activities.

“Our biggest focus is stress relief. Most women, whether they are corporate executives, stay at home moms or have their own business, are overburdened with stress.” says Lebovic. Heartland Spa services, such as massage therapy, facials, body treatments, and acupuncture, allow guests to feel pampered and relaxed. From there, they focus on healthy weight management, fitness classes, and overall wellness.

“We emphasize low salt, low sugar, high fiber meals and snacks and we can always accommodate special diets, such as gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan. The spa menu is farm to table whenever possible and features organic plant-based nutrition to rejuvenate your health. We will teach you how to make lasting lifestyle changes and improve your overall wellness and joy in life,” Harold tell us. “We also offer a special therapeutic cleansing detox juicing program that you can partake in while you are at the spa”, he added. The food is nutritious and easy to prepare at home without sacrificing flavor or pleasure. A sample daily menu includes three meals and two snacks. “Our long-term goal is to educate our guests so they can live a balanced lifestyle, and maintain healthy eating and exercise habits when they go home”, Lebovic emphasizes.

Small class size and personalized attention encourages guests to experience something they might not otherwise try, like an African dance class. There is also a full schedule of activities to choose from - Yoga and Tai Chi to meditation and meal planning. Some women enjoy just relaxing on the property and having some down time.

“Women come with their girlfriends, daughters and even coworkers. They are looking to connect and engage in a stress-free environment. Our convenient location provides guests with everything Lake Geneva has to offer you, just steps from our front door”, says Lebovic.

White Bean Chicken Chili

Serves: 4 Hands-On Time: 40 min Total Time: 40 min Not much can beat a warm bowl of chili when the snow starts fallin’. I’ll show you how to make this traditional white chili without dairy, and still get a rich and thick, comforting meal. Seek out the brand of beans I recommend, Eden Foods, it’s the only store-bought canned variety that is truly healthful. And you might want to double up the portion of roasted chicken you make because this easy spice mixture makes the chicken breast irresistible!

Ingredients: Chili 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 White or Yellow Onion 3 Garlic Cloves 1 Organic Zucchini (diced small) 1 Teaspoon Fine Sea Salt 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder 1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin 1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano 3 Cups Organic Low Sodium Chicken Stock Fresh Lime Juice 1 Cup Salsa Verde

Chicken 1 to 1.5 pounds Organic Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder 1/2 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt 1.5 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil Optional Garnishes: Jalapeno Scallion Fresh Cilantro Avocado

Find this traditional green salsa on grocery store shelves, in the Mexican food aisle; or buy some from your favorite Mexican restaurant.

1-15 oz Can Eden Organic Cannellini Beans (drained & rinsed) This is the only brand of cooked beans on the market that is healthful. This company actually soaks their beans, dumps the soaking liquid, and cooks them with kombu seaweed (you can’t taste it). All of this is very important to eliminate toxins, release digestive enzymes, and make their nutrients more available to us. This brand is sold at Whole Foods Market and Jewel.

with Marisa Moon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 350 Degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and drizzle with 1.5 Tablespoons of Oil. 2. Line a cutting board with paper towels, and pat the chicken breasts dry. Cut the breasts in half (favoring the thinner side will help it cook more evenly), and separate the tenders if they are still attached. Season the chicken with the chili powder and sea salt.

3. Transfer the breasts to the baking sheet and turn them to coat them in oil. Roast the chicken for up to 30 minutes for larger pieces, and check it at 15 minutes for chicken tenders.

4. Meanwhile, chop 1 onion and mince the garlic cloves.

5. Heat 2 Tablespoons oil in a soup pot over medium heat, and measure out your chili spices so that they are ready (chili, cumin, oregano, salt).

6. Saute the onions and garlic for 3-5 minutes. While onions and garlic are cooking keep an eye on your roasting chicken.

When chicken is done cooking, remove it from the oven and let it cool.

7. Add the measured spices to the onions and garlic and stir until fragrant—about 1 min.

8. Stir in the zucchini and cook for another minute. Add 3 cups of chicken stock, 1 cup of salsa verde, and drained cannellini beans to the pot. Stir.

9. Turn the heat up to medium high and bring everything to a simmer. Meanwhile, start shredding or dicing your chicken, keep it aside, and pour the chicken juices into the pot.

10. Once your pot is simmering, turn heat down to medium low and cook for 10 minutes.

11. Scoop out 2 cups of the chili and put it into a blender.

Holding the cover down with a kitchen towel, blend until smooth and add it back to the pot. Now add the chicken. Cook for 5 more minutes.

12. Squeeze the juice from a half or full lime. Taste for salt, and serve with garnishes.

Stressed Out? Here are Some Ways to Chill By: Dawn Meyer; CFMW

Here are Some Ways to Chill All stressed out? Frustrated? Anxious?

Stress is so prevalent in our hectic society. There are a million things to do all the time. People constantly wanting to keep in touch with you via email and cell phone – bombarding you with constant information and requests! It just wears you out until you don’t know where to turn.

How Stress Affects the Body

Stress is your body’s normal physical response when you feel threatened or upset. It’s your body’s way of protecting you – it’s your fight-or-flight response – increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, decreased digestion, increased concentration and focus. A normal stress response can help you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life by giving you extra strength to defend yourself or react quickly to avoid danger.

10

Fabulous Over 50 Magazine

The stress response can also help you handle challenges in normal, everyday situations such as keeping you on your toes during a presentation at work, increasing your concentration when you’re studying or taking exams or helping your focus when playing sports.

Meditate

However, stress stops being helpful if experienced for extended periods of time and can instead cause major damage to your health, your mood, productivity, relationships and eventually to your quality of life. According to the American Psychological Association, studies have shown that extended stress can alter the body’s immune system producing conditions that are usually associated with “aging” such as reduced ability to regenerate blood cells, frailty, functional decline, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, inflammatory arthritis, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers – all actually causing the body to appear physically older than its chronological age.

Simply close your eyes, breathe deeply and envision yourself somewhere peaceful. Just for a few minutes.

Listen to the breeze or the waves in your mind and let it carry your tension away! It’s a great pick-me-up at any time (OK, maybe NOT when you’re driving – keep your eyes open then!!).

Counteracting Stress

Luckily there are many things you can do to reduce your stress levels:

Get a Massage

Massage promotes relaxation by relaxing muscles and relieving tension, aches and pain. It also • Improves blood and lymph circulation • Improves joint mobility • Improves immune system functioning • Improves and balances energy flow • Speeds recovery from strenuous physical exertion • Enhances tissue elasticity • Triggers the relaxation response • And just feels great

For some people the thought of sitting for any period of time with their own thoughts can be daunting at first, but it is amazingly relaxing. You don’t need hours of meditation to get the benefits, just a few minutes will help.

Have your “Bars Run”

OK, what does THAT mean?

No, don’t run to the nearest bar!

Access Consciousness Bars is an up-and-coming method of helping you experience deep relaxation and stress release. It can help you let go of emotions and beliefs you are holding onto and move on – just by having points on your head and face touched while you simply relax and maybe even take a nap!!

Turn off Your Phone, Computer & TV

Yes, many people are addicted to their electronic devices, but sometimes you just need to turn them off, or at least leave them behind and do something else. That constant bombardment of stimuli just winds the body up even more, continually demanding attention and focus.Plus the strain to the eyes can dramatically increase fatigue.

Get Out Into Nature

Being in nature has a very soothing effect on the body.

Go for a walk under some trees or on the beach. Sit outside and read. Listen to the wind and the birds.Just flow with nature and let your stress dissolve.

And there are many other ways. It mostly comes down to this – Take time for yourself. Take care of yourself.

You need that body for a while, take care of it! You take care of everything else and every one else, put yourself on the top of that list NOW!!

You are important enough to have time for yourself!

It’s all about you, baby! If you don’t take care of yourself, who will?

Now, go for a walk!

for Optimum Health

Yoga is one of the most popular exercises for women over 50. According to a 2016 Forbes article, over 80 million people try Yoga at least once. Of this 80 million, over 70% are women, and most have been practicing for less than 5 years. These astounding numbers make a lot of sense when you start to consider the many benefits Yoga has.

Living the Yoga life means much more than hitting the gym a few times a week. Yoga is designed to foster the mind, body, and spirit. While fabulous women can enjoy the benefits of working out, such as increased flexibility or a boost in energy, Yoga is more about developing the right state of mind. As you stretch and hold asanas, you will feel control over your body; helping you relax.

YOGA is not just an

EXCERCISE,

it’s a

Tamara Ortegel, a local Yoga instructor, says that these poses help people get in touch with their spiritual side. “By drawing inward, we can get to know ourselves on a deeper, more spiritual level. We can an observe our thoughts and our actions to see if they align with who we strive to be. Through yoga and meditation, many people come to understand that their misperceptions cause them suffering and are able to work through issues to achieve greater health and happiness.”

Dozens of Health Benefits

Like any new activity, practicing Yoga can help women feel and look fabulous.

According to the American Osteopathic Association, a Yoga routine brings the following physical benefits: • Improved muscle strength • Increased flexibility • Weight loss • Boosted energy • Improved circulatory health These benefits are available from other forms of exercise, but what makes Yoga unique is the focus on breath. Your Yoga instructor will encourage slow, controlled breaths during practice. This allows you to remain calm. By promoting a calm mind when doing strenuous stretches, you can teach yourself to control your breathing in other stressful situations, allowing you to gain clarity.

Who Should Practice Yoga

According to Tamara, “Yoga is great for anyone interested in self-discovery.”

The growing Yoga trend reflects more people trying to find clarity in their hectic lives. While the health benefits of exercise are hard to ignore, adapting the lifestyle goes beyond weight loss or muscle strength.

How to Get Started with Yoga

There are several ways people can get started practicing Yoga. While exercise videos and online tutorials can help you learn, classroom exercises with an instructor are extremely effective. Because Yoga is more about finding yourself and clearing your mind, don’t be afraid to do whatever is more comfortable.

Many people try Yoga at home before signing up for a weekly class or practice solo due to time restraints. The choice is yours.

WITH BETTER HABITS AND THOUGHTS Becca Tebon lifestyle CHHC, CPT, CA

certified holistic health | fitness | lifestyle | speaker | coach | author Divas, who has not met all their goals thus far this year? I know, you’re probably saying THANKS for throwing it in my face. I already saw that THAT face or thought in the morning while brushing your teeth or last night, as you laid awake (yet another night) rolling from side to side pensive about what you actually achieved thus far this year.

The accumulated exhaustion from doing the exact same tasks, habits or actions, call it whatever you want . . . again and again and again, combined with trying to be there for a family, kids or your community can be defined as insanity. In January did you start out thinking “I am going to lose weight, get my old energy back, change my hair style, bust the 6-figures in my business, start a workout routine or start eating healthier?” And now it’s September, 4th quarter and you are falling short on the promises you set out and feeling horrible?

STOP! Yes, stop the guilt, blame, shame and pain, right now young lady! I am going to help you rise up and start meeting your goals — RIGHT NOW! 18

Fabulous Over 50 Magazine

If you are with me, and hold my hand, or atlas read this article and take just ONE ACTION per week, you will be on your way to kicking 2017.

On The Nutritional Side:

Here are Mindset, & Food Hacks to help you jump start your health and wellbeing, even if you feel you have ignored it all year, or longer!

1.

Stay hydrated. MANY side effects to not drinking water, like dizziness, fatigue, and joint pain to name a few.

2.

Don’t consume foods or drinks that have been in contact with plastic, styrofoam or nonstick surfaces. Replace plastic food and beverage containers with glass or stainless steel versions. Replace nonstick cookware with cast iron or stainless steel pots and pans.

3.

Eat organic whenever you can. Avoid the Dirty Dozen, or the most contaminated fruits and vegetables: apples, strawberries, grapes, celery, peaches, sweet bell peppers, imported nectarines, cucumbers, potatoes, cherry tomatoes, hot peppers, summer squash and leafy greens, including spinach, kale and collard greens.

4.

Open the windows. According to the EPA, indoor air is “more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities.” To help exchange and circulate air inside your home, open your windows as often as you can and if you have a mechanical ventilation system, use it regularly and keep it in good working order.

5.

Detox once or twice a year. Use a comprehensive program designed to do three things: release toxins from their storage sites; support the liver in changing them into compounds we can more easily excrete; and eliminate them from the body. This can be accomplished with a diet low in sweets and starches, regular exercise, stress management, good sleep, sauna therapy and supplements that deliver the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids needed for detoxification.

On the Mindset:

3 beliefs that will either boost or sabotage success:

1.

2.

3.

I Am Good Enough: It isn’t money, resources, or skills, that holds people back, because we have all seen where people come from nothing and become doctors, entrepreneurs and get out of debt. It is a fear of not being good enough. Life is not all a dance on roses. You will feel down even when others think you’re a success, and you will feel on top of the world when everybody else thinks you’ve lost your mind. Funny how life works sometimes, isn’t it?

I am Worth: A lot of self-sabotage happens because of this belief. Your beliefs can play tricks on you and it can be as simple as procrastinating and missing a deadline because you don’t think you deserve it or back to #1 above, are worth it. This happens in weight loss and business success.

This belief can sometimes be resolved with a tool for “FORGIVENESS” that I use with my clients.

I Can Do It: Here’s a trick I use with my clients when the “I can’t do this monster” pops her ugly voice into our thoughts. Start by KNOWING that you thought of it, therefore, it is possible. Next, tell yourself “Iam ready to see it happen “ or “I can see myself doing this.” Belief is all it takes, do not let doubt and fears stop you from achieving your next great idea, goal or challenge.

Lastly, know that accountability and coaching and investing in yourself is a tool that empowered and can push you into your greatest self! Invest in yourself.

Perhaps my next retreats are just the thing to get you out of the space in your head and life and propel you to your great life.

ey dr u A Audrey Weidman is passionate about educating and empowering women about heart disease.

Why? Because she is a heart attack survivor.

T

Fabulous Women o look at her, you would NEVER have said “That is a heart attack waiting to happen.” She exercised, ate well, lost weight and even reduced her cholesterol prior to having a heart attack. Her heart attack could’ve been much more severe if she hadn’t already been on a healthy lifestyle tract.

On October 22, 2016 Audrey suffered a heart attack while doing yard clean up and walked around for two days not knowing she had it. She only discovered the heart attack at her previously scheduled annual physical two days later. Heart disease is the #1 cause of death among women in the western world. And it is largely preventable. Women delay seeking emergency medical help - even in the middle of serious heart attack symptoms. This is one of the main reasons heart attacks are so deadly for women.

Audrey is a prime example. She got dizzy and felt a burning sensation with diffuse chest pain. She attributed those symptoms to vigorous exercise she had done the day before and the yard work she was in the middle of. She never thought she was having a heart attack.

Her husband even asked her to see a doctor and she brushed it off thinking she had her annual physical scheduled and she’d see the doctor in a couple of days.

Heart disease happens over time, often without symptoms. If you have a nagging feeling that you may be at risk for heart disease or have a strong family history of heart disease, be proactive. Visit your doctor and get blood work done to determine if you have genetic risk for high cholesterol and what you can control with your diet.

Ignorance is not bliss. Inflammation and stress are some of the root causes of heart disease. And the good news is that you do have the power to change that. Pay attention to what you eat. Move more. Be grateful for the moment. And learn to manage stress. You have more power than you think.

Here are heart attack symptoms to look for: 1) Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back. 2) Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.

3) Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort. 4) Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

5) Women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are more likely than men to experience other common symptoms. Source: American Heart Association.

Audrey encourages and mentors women to confidently transform their wellness goals into an ongoing sustainable lifestyle using a combination of stress management, diet, and exercise within a community.

iving back to the world starts with one person making a decision to help those in need. We all know the world is full of problems, but making sure everyone’s basic needs are met is the best place to start. If we don’t have the basics, like food and water, how can we be expected to make the world a better place?

It’s no secret that children are our future, but there are still 844 million people in the world without clean water. (wateraid.org) This staggering number includes people of all ages, but children are extremely susceptible to diseases. Five thousand children around the world die every day from drinking contaminated water because they don’t have access to clean water. If we want to secure our future and better the human race, this has to stop.

Heshie Segal is Working to Make a Difference

There are dozens of fabulous women working to make the world a better place. One woman is taking it to a whole new level. When Heshie Segal learned about the global water issues, she knew she had to step up. That’s why she founded Kids Better World, which emphasizes “The FUTURE begins TODAY.” Her solution to the water crisis? The Puritii for Humanity Project.

The goal of the campaign is to deliver 1 Million Puritii Filtration Systems to children around the world. This noble mission won’t just touch the lives of children in distant lands; the Puritii for Humanity Project works towards distributing convenient water bottles to children on all seven continents.

How to Get Involved

Anyone can support Kids Better World and help bring water to children in need. Aside from making a direct donation, fabulous women can purchase their own Puritii water bottles and filtration systems (and/or become a Puritii For Humanity Ambassador by going to KidsBetterWorld.com. Not only will they be supporting the cause, they will feel better knowing they are always drinking pure, clean water.

Heshie Segal is always trying to empower others and make the world a better place. Aside from helping those affected by the clean water crisis, she is very inspirational, people love her famous JetNetting sayings.

hen you look up Kimberly Montesinos business Crystal Klear Cleaning Inc. you’ll find a five star review. But those five stars also describe her character and her sparkling personality. Ask any of her networking sisters at the women’s entrepreneur secret of success and they will tell you that Kimberly Montesino is a wonderful fabulous lady.

I remember the first time I met Kimberly at a transformational Tuesday event in the west burbs. It’s like the room lit up when she walked inside. She has this beautiful energy about her that she shares in her work and her home life.

It’s no mystery why her businesses so successful. After spending many years in customer service Kim learned a thing or two about being detail oriented she is taking this detail oriented philosophy into a cleaning business doing the work that others might miss, things like wiping down windowsills, cleaning in corners, wiping down door jams and cleaning light switches.

Before she bought the cleaning service while she was working a full time corporate job, Kimberly had a service come to her home, it helped her immensely. Now she wants to help other women gain freedom and energy by providing attention to detail and having their homes cleaned as good or better than they could if they took the time.

Here are four reasons to consider a cleaning service: More Productivity. The time you would take to clean you can put into things that make your more productive. Wealth Expert Loral Langemeir often says, “Don’t clean your house yourself!” Her reasoning is that it a complete waste of your time and energy to do something that you can pay someone else for that keeps you from working on your business.

More time with your family. The reason you chose to stay home or babysit was to spend more time with your kids or grandkids.

Time cleaning doesn’t count.

Improves your love life. Cleaning takes a lot out of you. It is labor intensive, even if you love to clean, when its done you are still tired.

By hiring a cleaning service you will have more energy for your relationship.

Allows you to take time for yourself. As women we neglect ourselves.

We put cleaning the floors on our high priority list. By hiring a cleaning service you can take the 3-6 hours that you would spend cleaning and take that time doing something for yourself. Like taking a walk, visiting a friend, reading a book, or just relaxing.

When you walk into your house and its clean you are energized and do other things that you want to do, instead of having to clean.

Getting Back to Business By: Loral Langemeier

Whether you’re just starting a new business or coming back to your business after taking a break, there are a few things you want to consider as you lead your venture to fulfill your financial goal.

Of course, your first step is deciding what product or service you want to provide. But what’s (almost) more important than figuring out what you’re selling is figuring out who you’re selling to. The product or service you provide to your target market should truly benefit them. Your target market is not “anyone and everyone.”

Once you decide who your customer is, you have to figure out how to show them what you provide. The best way to do this, and maintain contact with your customers, is to build a database; the fastest way to build a database is to become a part of a joint venture. Somebody out there already has a database filled with your target market and interested parties. A joint venture will allow you allow you to offer more services while at the same time lightening the amount work you have to do.

For example, I have a couple of women who are coming back to their chiropractic businesses. Instead of starting all over, they partnered with a multi-million dollar existing acupuncture venture, using that brand and their database of clients. Now these women offer two services and only work 3 days a week by choice!

This brings us to another important consideration: ask yourself what you really want from getting back to business. Do you want to increase your income, and does it matter how? Do you want to be in the everyday grind of running your business and being responsible for the cash flow?

26

Fabulous Over 50 Magazine

Once you decide how you’re going do business, you need to make sure that you keep the most money possible by incorporating your business. You might hear that you shouldn’t incorporate until you hit a certain cash flow threshold, but why wouldn’t you take advantage of the nearly 80,000 pages of corporate deductions in the U.S. tax code?

There are 2 ways to make money in our country: as a corporation and as a “W-2 worker.” In the former, you make money, pay your expenses, then pay tax on what’s left. In the latter, you make money, get taxed, then get to live on what’s left. Which sounds better to you?

After getting your corporate entity straightened out, you want to make sure you’re very clear about what you’re using your money for. Most people don’t have a plan for their money. It comes in and goes out, and then you wake up in your golden years with no savings and minimal, if any, cash flow.

If you’re planning on using your income to invest, know the rates and timetables. An investment with a 10% return doubles your money in 7 years, so if you start at 50, you can quadruple your investment by the time you’re 64. If you’re using it for your lifestyle, have an idea how much you need every month (aim high!). Consider questions like: do you want to travel? What are your exact monthly expenses? How much do you want to pass on?

There is a path to financial freedom, and it’s possible at any age.

Make the years you invest in your business count. It’s never too late to be a millionaire!

Dr. Janice Fortman

“The Little Book of BIG Behavior Interventions” presents the common misbehaviors of pre-k and elementary school children. Her keen insight on why young children misbehave in their classrooms is popular with teachers who are faced with challenging misbehaviors. Dr. Jan is most passionate about her latest book “The Secrets to How Not to Throw Mama from the Train”, that focuses on the relationship between adult daughters and their aging mothers, and the communication patterns that cause difficulties in this relationship.

Linda Rosenthal

Every spiritual seeker knows that there are seven main chakras-also described as energy centers or wheels of light. Blocked energy in the chakras can often lead to physical illness as well as spiritual malaise. The trick is how to balance these systems in our lives, and in The Seven Chakra Sisters, spiritual psychotherapist and healer Linda Rosenthal shows us exactly that. Rosenthal takes readers on a metaphysical, metaphorical romp into the world of the 7 chakras. She offers a delightful teaching fable about the unique personalities of the 7 Chakras to help us understand the important role they play in our health and well being.
