WOMEN TO KNOW
A Touch of Linda Claas Offers Clients Large Array of Services and Personal Touch.
GETTING ATTACHED TO CLIENTS WAS AN UNINTENDED SIDEEFFECT TO SALON BUSINESS. When Linda Claas decided to leave the medical profession and get her cosmetology license, she did so because she wanted a career where she wouldn’t get emotionally attached. Now, after 30 years of serving and loving her clients, she realizes how naïve her motivations were and she’s very glad she made that “mistake.” Linda owns A Touch of Claas Salon, Spa and B&B in Boonville, MO. If the business’ name sounds long, it’s not nearly as long as the list of services and pampering available inside its four walls. “I love serving people and I love helping people,” Linda says of her business, which is located at 807 Main Street in Boonville. “I love being busy and being around people and I can’t imagine sitting around and doing nothing all day.” That’s a good thing, considering the wide variety of people with the wide variety of needs that seek Linda’s services. >

Linda practices Reiki healing on a long-time customer
More than a Salon A Touch of Claas is more than just a spa and salon. “It’s a place for soothing the physical body, restoring serenity and renewing the spirit,” Linda says. Linda is a cosmetologist, esthetician and Reiki Master with more than 30 years salon experience. She offers hairstyling, manicures, pedicures, facials and makeovers, as well as a host of other modalities and products that promote healing. Interestingly, Linda got her start in healing as a medical assistant, which is the profession she was working in when her grandmother became ill. “I quit my job to take care of her and when she passed, her oldest daughter gifted me the tuition to go to school wherever I wanted to go,” Linda says. “I decided I wanted to be a cosmetologist rather than a nurse because I didn’t want to get attached to people anymore.”
8
thenewyoumagazine.net FALL EDITION 2016
Little did she know, Linda was headed toward a lifetime of caring for people and getting attached. She finished cosmetology school in 1982 and started business in a 300-square-foot salon in her hometown of Tipton, MO. Three decades later, she refers to her clients as “family.” After a few years, she moved across the street to a 1,000-square-foot space and added some tanning beds and exercise equipment to the mix. Linda moved to Boonville after a divorce in 1992. She purchased the house that is A Touch of Claas in 2006 after having admired the property for a number of years. “I remember it was the first property I saw when I got to Boonville and I thought, I’ll never be able to afford that,” she says. “Little did I know that I’d eventually be living there.”
Linda is a cosmetologist, esthetician and Reiki Master with more than 30 years of salon experience.
When she first opened the salon and spa, Linda also had a tea room in the house called the Serenity Tea House. After about five years, she closed the tea room and eventually converted the space and some of the other open space in the house into a B&B.
Unique Services Little by little, she has added to the services offered to focus on the clients’ overall well being. “Our team of licensed practitioners, stylists and teachers combines the benefit of current cosmetic and styling techniques with opportunities for meditation and energy healing,” Linda says.
In fact, Linda studied for more than a year to become a licensed Reiki master for that very reason. “This is a life force energy that allows the body to heal itself,” she says. “It comes through the practitioner – me – to my client. Undergoing this therapy, which lasts 30 to 60 minutes, is like having three hours of REM sleep. It’s amazing, very calming, and serves as an alternative addition to any medical treatment a client may be getting.” Linda says Reiki started in the 1800s as a practice, but has actually been around for as long as humanity. “Think about what you do when you bump your head or elbow? You reach for it and touch it,” she says. “When a child has a fever, the mother soothes the child by touching him or her.” When Linda started providing Reiki services about 14 years ago, she only had about one client per month seeking the treatment. Now, she has eight to 10 clients per week who come to her for her healing touch. “It can be used to treat aches and pains, but also for grief and panic attacks, and virtually any kind of mental or physical discomfort,” she says. Other unique services offered at A Touch of Claas are: • Crystal healing • Aromatherapy using pharmaceuticalgrade Young Living Essential Oils • Chakra balancing • Scalp massage • Ear candling • Guided meditation • Massage • Yoga & Tai Chi • Foot sauna that uses steam versus water for pedicures “Many clients come in for multiple services. Others come in just to use the foot sauna if they have leg pain, cramps or circulation problems,” she says. “I have one woman who is undergoing chemo and radiation. She’ll come in for a foot sauna and Reiki, and we also are using the Young Living Oils for her.
“I have also hosted several health fairs, classes and workshops including healing with art and music, harp concerts, crystal healing, drumming, nutrition, life coaching, alternative health options, metaphysics and more.”
Bed & Breakfast Linda’s Bed and Breakfast opened three years ago after she closed the tea room. Now, she has her salon on the main level of the home and rooms for rent upstairs and downstairs. Guests to the B&B are treated to a home-cooked breakfast and can schedule any of the spa services or enjoy the area around Boonville.
Giving Back As if Linda doesn’t have enough on her plate, she also gives back to the community in large ways. Each week, a group of women gather at A Touch of Claas to knit or crochet prayer shawls. Then, one of Linda’s clients, a minister, comes in and blesses the shawls. They are kept in a basket until someone needs one – a person suffering from cancer or some other illness or hardship such as grief. “We give them away all over the world to people who need prayers. They come with a card telling them what it is and why it’s done,” Linda says. “We’ve given away 1,170 prayer shawls so far.” Linda’s other big effort is a yearly dinner for homeless veterans during the holidays. This year will be her sixth year of organizing the dinner, and the event has grown so large that she has had to move it out of her home/salon and into a
meeting room at the County Health Department. “I do it all through donations of food, time and money from local businesses and individuals. We buy the veterans gifts of shampoos, toiletries, socks, gloves, gift cards and a knitted shawl or scarf that has been blessed.” Additionally, Linda gives time as a volunteer hospice worker, visiting with patients who are under hospice care to simply spend time and talk with them or reassure them in the last weeks and days of their lives. “I believe if you help people and treat them the way you want to be treated, it will come back tenfold,” Linda says. “People helped me during the time after my divorce and I want to help others the same way. Wealth comes in many ways and mine isn’t in the bank.” Linda is originally from Tipton, MO. She has two grown children and three grandchildren: Brad Hirst, a physician assistant in Smithville, MO., who has two girls, Delaney, 14, and Mariah, 12; and Aimee Hirst, a case manager in Hamilton, MO., who has a son Trevor, 15. Professional affiliations: Boonville Chamber of Commerce International Reiki Association Rocheport Merchants Association 10th Dimension Paranormal Group In addition she is a past president of the St. Johns United Church of Christ Council; St. Johns is in Billingsville, MO.

T R E T C H Your Summer Wardrobe Through Fall ummer heat and sunshine is on its way out and the cool, crisp fall air is moving in meaning you are packing away that simply sweet sundress you love so much and pulling out that chunky cable knit sweater. Instead of wasting money on new fall clothes, stretch your summer look through the fall!

With a few little tweaks and proper accessorizing you can turn that flirty dress into a chic fall ensemble that will look great all season. You first need to make sure you have a well-stocked arsenal a.k.a a few clutch pieces to tie together any look: cardigan, tights, fun scarf, blazer or leather jacket, and boots. With a little maneuvering you will have completely revamped your summer wardrobe!
compensate for the lighter ones. Go for navy, deep green, or black tights with a chunky sweater or scarf to help even out your daytime look. For a night on the town, put on that little black dress, black tights, boots or pumps and a leather jacket for a sexy fall look.
Favorite pair of jeans You can never go wrong with a great pair of jeans! Simply switch out your summer flip-flops for fabulous leather boots and don a comfortable sweater for a simple but chic look. Dress it up with high heel boots, a sultry sweater and a great pair of earrings for a perfect nighttime look. Keep in mind that for taller boots, slimmer or skinny jeans will work best to avoid bulk as you tuck them in. Boot cut jeans are great with ankle boots or pumps and will create a leaner and more streamlined look.

Utilizing those favorite summer items and some key fall pieces, you really can’t go wrong! So feel free to layer up, add unique accessories and try something different to make the most out of your wardrobe all year round.
Little tank tops Short shorts
So you have that flirty floral tank top you wore all summer and now it’s time to pack it away for the colder months. Instead, add a cardigan and scarf for warmth, a belt to create more shape, pull on a pair of jeans and some boots and you are ready for a Saturday afternoon out. Wear it at work with a sharp blazer, pencil skirt and tights for an exciting touch to the everyday business look.
Sorry ladies, the cut-off jean shorts do have to go away for the season, but those cute black or navy tailored shorts can be saved! Pull on a chunky sweater or cardigan, tights and chic flats for the perfect fall look, day or night. Opt for some pumps or ankle boots and a sleek blazer to dress it up for happy hour or date night.
Sweet summer dresses

The easiest way to wear any dress all year round is to add a pair of tights. Pull on a dark pair of tights, add a cardigan or a scarf and you have instantly updated your look for fall. The trick is balancing light, summery patterns with dark, bold colors and layering heavy fabrics to
Wedges were a summer staple this year, and you can make them work for fall too! Strut your stuff in a sweet skirt, sweater and tights and keep that summer shoe love affair going all through fall.

Boot Up!
The best boot for you this fall
B
oots are back better than ever this season and definitely a must when it comes to fall fashion. Stiletto boots, equestrian boots, leather boots, slouched boots, ankle boots, cowboy boots, motorcycle boots, desert boots, lace up boots—the list seems unending for what’s hot this year. The trick is to know what boot is best for your body! Keep some of these tips in mind during your next big boot decision:
Heeled Boots When it comes to boots with heels, flattering your body type is easy if you choose the correct type of heel. Stiletto heels are best for women that have slimmer legs, calves and ankles because that height compliments them proportionally. If you have a more muscular leg, stilettos can tend to make you look stouter. Instead, opt for a stacked heel that will elongate your leg. Wedges are a great heel for slim as well as curvier figures and will give you that extra height you are looking for and still remain incredibly comfortable! A flat boot is most flattering on women with average to long legs since they don’t need as much additional height. You can still wear a flat boot if you are shorter by selecting a taller boot to make your legs appear longer, but a nice heel is the best way for you to go!
Knee High Boots Knee high boots are probably the closest thing to universally flattering when it comes to boot styles. They look great on just about anyone because they instantly add length and slenderize your legs. Some women with more muscular calves or really slim calves run into problems when it comes to fit, but don’t worry—boots can actually be taken in and even stretched. If you have shorter legs, avoid a lot of straps or details that go across the width of the boot because it can shorten the appearance of the boot; instead, just stick with a solid and streamlined look.
14
thenewyoumagazine.net FALL EDITION 2016
Mid Calf Boots A mid-calf boot is tricky to pull off. The motorcycle boot, strappy or slouched boot is most flattering if you have very slim calves because the length hits at the widest part of the calf so the leg appears wider. If you have shorter or curvier calves, you should avoid this style.
Ankle Boots Ankle boots are a great option for any shape and size and come in so many versatile styles that are easy to dress up or down. You can easily wear them under pants, jeans, skirts, or dresses. When it comes to dresses though, be sure the boot fits closely to the ankle so you don’t lose that streamlined appearance. The hem of your dress or skirt should fall above the knee. Long skirts paired with ankle boots are a disaster—don’t do it!
Things to remember A general rule of thumb is to always dress proportionally to your body and remember to pick a boot for balance. If you are shorter and a bit on the curvy side, the last thing you want are short and squat boots, instead go for long and lean! ■ When it comes to elongating the leg you want to go for boots that have minimal detail, fit close to the leg, and have some sort of heel to create a slim and lengthy look that flatters every figure. ■ Extra details like straps and buckles will always make your leg appear shorter or even chunkier. Unless you have little bird legs, less is more! ■

secrets for
ponytail perfection W
hile ponytails are often considered the “goto” hairstyle for many women on a bad hair
day, ponytail can be a very versatile style that will suit a wide variety of occasions and events – from a Backyard BBQ on the weekends to that Holiday Party. From sporty to elegant – there’s a ponytail for you!
Here are seven secrets that will take your everyday pony to perfection
16
thenewyoumagazine.net FALL EDITION 2016
For Low Ponytail
• Part your hair deeply on one side (or in the middle) • Brush it smoothly over across your forehead • Tuck any stray pieces behind your year or mist with hairspray • Keep the hair sleek and close to your head • Pull it back • Secure the ponytail at the nape of your neck • Use some hairspray all over your head
high low Secret 1 Wash and shampoo your hair. Unlike other updoes, a perfect ponytail requires perfectly clean hair. Also, slightly damp hair holds tighter around the side trapping shorter layers in as it dries.
Secret 5 Choose hair friendly elastic to secure your ponytail. Never use rubber bands with no special coating that will protect your hair from pulling and ripping. Celebrity hairdressers love to use Blax Bands or Bungee Cords which are designed especially for ponytail creation. Opt for elastics that allow for easy removal yet hold very tightly and sleekly.
Secret 6
Secret 2
To achieve some more volume, place your palms on the top of your head and slowly slide them up, pulling the back of your hair ever so slightly up while keeping it secured in the elastic.
Straight hair works best for ponytail, so blow dry your hair straight with a blow dryer that comes with a concentrator attachment. For naturally wavy or curly hair, apply straitening balm to damp strands.
In order to fix the tease at the crown, use a pencil - put it through your hair in the area that needs fixing and pull it up slightly until the hair is fixed.
Secret 3
To avoid an annoying “hair bag” underneath your ponytail, hold your head back when pulling your hair up and fixing the elastic
Left, right and center...decide on whether you want to part your hair in the middle or if you’d rather wear side ponies. Badgley Mischka designers prefer to style their models with a side ponies with sideswept bangs; while Jill Sanders, Ralph Lauren and Versace prefers ponytail with middle part for their runway models.
Secret 4 High or low ponies. Try experimenting with higher or lower ponytails to achieve different looks. High ponies are famous for providing women with “mini” facelifts by putting tension on the face and emphasizing on the cheekbones while low phonies tend to be more sophisticated, modern and sleeker style.
Secret 7 Keep on conditioning. By mid day, your hair might be dry and frisky – some even rebel and try to stand out. Well, tame that wild hair with leave-on conditioner. Smoothen strands to maintain clean and stylish ponies. Whether you choose to wear it high or low, with side or middle part, the
ponytail
is the ultimate hair doctor.
For High Ponytail • Put your fingers at the crown of your head • Gather up a large section of hair (about 3 inches wide by 2 inches deep) • Tease it on the underneath to give it volume • Run your hairbrush over this section lightly • Pull hair into a ponytail just above the middle point at the back of your head • Secure with a hair-covered elastic or wrap a strand of your hair around the elastic itself • Pin the end of the strand underneath the ponytail with a bobby pin • Finish with some hairspray on the sides and back of the hair FALL EDITION 2016 thenewyoumagazine.net

seven diet tips for
holiday survival
{
18
Holidays are all about bringing family and friends together to celebrate traditions and spread good cheer. A whirlwind of parties and happy hours, with food attached. Every event may seem like an excuse to splurge. To help you survive the seasonal parties without packing on the pounds, try these tips to save calories.
thenewyoumagazine.net FALL EDITION 2016
}
Rest Up
1
Rest up the night
before a holiday fête by getting at least seven hours of sleep. A recent study found that after a short night’s sleep adults ate about an extra 300 calories and tended to choose higher-fat, higher-calorie foods. When women lack sleep they may feel less full after eating, while men tend to have an increased appetite. By getting your zzz’s, you’ll save calories and make healthier choices.
Be Realistic
5
Don’t try to lose pounds during the holidays, instead try to maintain your current weight.
Wear Snug Clothes And Keep One Hand Busy
6
When you wear snug-fitting attire, chances are you'll be too
busy holding in your stomach to overeat. While you stand around looking posh in your holiday finery, hold a drink in your dominant hand so it won't be so easy to grab food.
Choose Wisely
2
Choose your first buffet picks wisely. Research suggests that you’ll consume the largest quantity of the foods you eat first, so set yourself up for success by starting with something lowcalorie. Try fresh veggies and hummus over chips and creamy dip to save 120 calories per serving.
Pour Wisely
3
Count 1-2-3 when pouring yourself a glass of wine, to get an estimated 5-ounce serving. Don’t rely on just filling up a glass halfway, since many glasses are half full with 10 ounces of wine, which quickly turns that 125 calorie glass into a 250calorie one.
Plan Time For Exercise
7
Exercise helps relieve holiday stress and prevent weight gain. A moderate and daily increase in exercise can help partially offset increased holiday eating. Try 10 or 15-minute brisk walks twice a day.
Downsize Your Plate
4
Downsize your plate to trick your brain into thinking you are eating more. According to the Calorie Control Council, the average number of calories eaten at a holiday dinner is a shocking 3,000, and that doesn’t count pre-dinner snacking. Use an appetizer or salad plate instead of a dinner plate and eat 40 percent less, cutting 1,200 calories.
Holiday parties are much more than food and drinks. They are a time to delight in the traditions of the season, and enjoy the company of family and friends. If you keep the focus on the spirit of the season – and heed the advice of our diet experts – you'll most likely get through the holidays without gaining a pound. And if you do splurge, don’t beat yourself up, the experts say. Just get right back to normal eating and exercising, and try to do a better job at the next party.

BOTOX Is Botox really safe? What exactly does Botox do? I’ve heard it’s botulism, is this true? Are all types of botulinum toxins on the market the same?
20
thenewyoumagazine.net FALL EDITION 2016
lthough no medical aesthetic procedure—or medical procedure in general—comes without the risk of some side effects, Botox® Cosmetic is a very safe product when injected by a well-trained and experienced medical professional. In fact, if you compared the safety profile of both acetaminophen (the generic form of Tylenol®) and Botox® Cosmetic, Botox® would come out ahead! In other words, Botox® Cosmetic causes fewer serious or fatal side effects than acetaminophen, a drug which is sold over-the-counter in the U.S. and is likely found in the medicine cabinets of most of you reading this article! Since being the first botulinum toxin receiving FDA approval for the treatment of moderate to severe expression lines, over 11 million patients have been treated with Botox Cosmetic! Botox® Cosmetic also boasts one of the highest satisfaction rates of any aesthetic procedure, with about 95% of patients satisfied after receiving Botox® injections. That being said, there are possible side effects associated with Botox® Cosmetic injections, the most common of which include bruising and swelling at the injection site. It is always important to inform the licensed medical professional injecting your Botox® Cosmetic about any medical conditions or medications you are currently taking, as there are certain rare medical conditions that could mean you are not a good candidate for Botox®.
A
It is also important to make sure you have Botox injected by an experienced,
Pela Cura Anti-Aging and Wellness owner Elisabeth J. Trumbower achieved her dream of having her own clinic in 2015 when she bought Pela Cura Laser and Medspa (where she had previously worked as manager and lead esthetician). She was able to combine her numerous degrees, marketing skills and real-life experience to achieve her vision of working alongside fellow practitioners to provide
licensed and certified medical professional who injects Botox on a regular basis in their practice. It is also important to make sure the injector is using Botox® Cosmetic purchased directly from Allergan, the only company that makes and sells true Botox® Cosmetic. Unfortunately, these days some medical practices purchase what they believe is Botox® Cosmetic from sources other than Allergan in order to save money, and this puts you, the patient, at great risk. In my opinion, it is always a good idea to confirm that the practice purchases their Botox® Cosmetic directly from Allergan, and to ask to see the vial prior to being injected to insure it has the Allergan hologram, a mark of authentic Botox® Cosmetic. As I mentioned above, Botox® Cosmetic is used to treat moderate to severe expression lines between the brows and around the eyes, often called “frown lines” and “crow’s feet”. After many years of repetitive facial expressions, such as squinting or frowning while concentrating, can cause your skin to crease. As we age, skin becomes less elastic and those creases start to remain--even when you aren’t making those expressions! BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles, reducing the appearance of expression lines. A common concern we hear from new Botox® Cosmetic patients at our clinic is that they want to avoid a “frozen” for “unnatural” appearance. I am happy to reassure them, as well as anyone reading this, that you are still able to make facial
holistic medicine, with the goal of being innovative, but scientific. Trumbower broadened the scope of the business, changing the name to Pela Cura Anti-Aging and Wellness Spa and becoming the first integrated anti-aging center and medical spa for both men and women in the Columbia area, with a focus on quality service. Just as she was getting started in her new
expressions after Botox Cosmetic, but the creases and lines you used to see while making these expressions will be softened or eliminated. I always take the time to talk at length to my clients about their treatment goals with Botox® Cosmetic so that their results are in line with their desired outcome. If you feel that your questions and goals aren’t being answered or heard, find a different injector immediately! For the best results with Botox® Cosmetic, I believe it is imperative to listen to the patient; otherwise, the result may not match their treatment goals and concerns. There are other botulinum toxin products that were approved for use after Botox® Cosmetic, also known as onabotlinumtoxinA. These products include: abobotulinumtoxinA and incobotulinumtoxinA. Botulinum toxin type B is named RimabotulinumtoxinB. Whereas OnabotulinumtoxinA is marketed as BOTOX®/BOTOX® Cosmetic, abobotulinumtoxinA is marketed as Dysport®, incobotulinumtoxinA as Xeomin®, and rimabotulinumtoxinB as Myobloc®. In our clinic, we exclusively use Botox® Cosmetic because of its long history of safe use, and because it is still the number one botulinum toxin on the market. In short, our patients want Botox® Cosmetic and ask for it by name…and who are we to NOT give the patients what they want (within reason)?!

HEALTH & F ITNESS
Preventing Low MILK Supply Do I have enough milk? This is one of the most common concerns for new mothers, but some simple strategies can help you have a robust supply. ON DAY ONE… remember your
baby’s tummy is the size of a marble so it doesn’t hold much and your early milk (colostrum) is a super concentrated, power packed punch of nutrition. Plus, healthy full term babies are born with fat reserves, designed to help nourish them until your milk comes in. Don’t worry if your baby loses some weight in the first few days. This is part of the normal transition to life outside the womb and a loss up to 10% of their birth weight is considered to be normal. Around day 5, your baby will start gaining again and should be back to their birth weight by 2 weeks of age. IN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS…
hold your baby in skin to skin contact often. This means your baby has on nothing more than a diaper and hat and mom has her shirt and bra off. Lay your baby on his or her tummy, between your breasts, head resting on your chest then put a

blanket over baby’s back. If you have other children or just need to be up and moving, a high quality baby carrier can be a great way to get that skin to skin time. In Touch Mom has a great selection of baby carriers and our certified baby carrier expert can help you find the carrier to meet your needs and budget. Second, all sucking should be done at the breast. Wait to introduce that pacifier until 3-4 weeks of age! Some moms worry that their infant is using the breast as a pacifier. One wonderful aspect of breastfeeding is that you don’t have to worry about deciding if your baby is upset or truly hungry. All sucking at the breast, whether for comfort or food, benefits milk supply. Third, breastfeed often, at least 8 times per day. Breastmilk production works on a supply and demand basis, so frequent and regular milk removal is a must!
WHEN YOU GO BACK TO WORK… continue to feed at the
breast whenever you and baby are together, reserving bottle feeding for the hours when you have to be separated. Use the slowest flow nipple, no matter how old your baby is. Next, teach your baby’s care provider to use paced bottle feeding and help them learn to use other strategies to soothe and comfort your child. While a baby should always be fed when he or she shows hunger cues, the bottle shouldn’t be the default choice for soothing. And, if you are still struggling with milk supply, ask go to InTouchMom.com for help. Our team can help troubleshoot the issue and come up with a plan for addressing your breastfeeding needs.

Hey Good Lookin’
Whatcha REALLY Got Cookin’?
{
Do You Know High Heat Damages Food Quality?

“A diet composed exclusively of cooked food puts a severe strain on the pancreas, drawing down its reserves…If the Sally Burgess pancreas is constantly Certified Raw Food Educator Nia Black Belt Instructor overstimulated to produce Holistic Personal Trainer Owner, Edwardsville enzymes that ought to be Fitness Studio in foods, the result over time will be inhibited function.” Whew! That’s a mouth full! This quote from the introduction of the book “Nourishing Traditions” by author Sally Fallon, is drawn from the work of the late Dr. Edward Howell—a specialist in the field of enzyme research. Howell believed that humans and animals who consume diets high in cooked foods wind up with enlarged pancreas organs while their other glands and organs, “notably the brain”, actually shrink in size. Yikes!

T
here is controversy over the whole enzyme question though. Raw food enthusiasts believe that raw fresh food provides the enzymes necessary for digestion to happen without taxing the metabolism. Proponents of cooked fresh food suggest that cooking can actually break-down components of the food that are hard for our bodies to digest making the food more readily available. Perhaps the most important aspect of this exploration is the focus on “fresh” food. There is little debate that food prepared at home, raw or cooked, is far healthier than processed options.
Cooking with Olive Oil — Good or Bad? An aspect of the raw-versus-cooked debate that doesn’t get much attention is what is created and what is lost, when food is cooked. Let’s start by cooking up a stir-fry of colorful veggies using the highest quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil. No doubt you’ve been led to believe that cooking with olive oil is about as good as it gets, right? Well, no. No it’s not. According to George Mateljan, author of the The World’s Healthiest Foods, even olive oil hits its “smoke point” anywhere from 200 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. When an oil gets to the smoke point all kinds of damage has been done; nutrients are lost, free radicals have been formed and unwanted aromatic substances are created. (Free radicals and unwanted aromatic substances increase our risk of serious health problems). What could you do instead? Use water! Put your veggies in the pan over low to medium heat and add one to two tablespoons of water at a time until they reach the softness you desire. In addition to not creating harmful substances, you will also reduce the caloric content of your meal.
Overcooking with Water So if you cook your veggies in water all is well, right? Ummm, no. No it’s not. In fact those beautiful vegetables begin to lose nutrients in a matter of minutes when subjected to too much heat. High heat is the key here. In the raw food world it is believed that food warmed to a temperature beyond 115 to 118 degrees begins to lose not only vital enzymes but also vitamins and nutrients. And it turns out that even folks who prefer cooked food agree that cooking can reduce the nutritional profile of the food. In fact, in the previously mentioned book The World’s Healthiest Foods, Mateljan offers an entire section on the effects of heat on food. Says Mateljan, “I’ve found it amazing just how sensitive some foods are when it comes to high heat— especially vegetables!” To make it simple, Mateljan recommends using low to medium heat, a small amount of water for steaming, and to stop the process once the food in question reaches a vibrant color. He uses green beans as an example—at about 5 minutes they become even more green than before cooking. Keep them going another few minutes and the color intensity drops and, he suggests, so does the nutritional value.
On the Grill Well, how about if I avoid oil AND cooking in water and just toss something on the grill? After all, restaurants tout their “grilled” selections as being healthier, right? Well, yes. Yes they do, but it’s simply not true. In fact you’re really cooking up trouble when you grill and once again it has to do with high heat. It is well documented that food exposed to the temperatures associated with grilling form a cancer-causing substance called heterocyclic amines, or HCA’s. The higher the temperature and the longer the cooking time the higher the amount of HCA’s. If you grill your burger or steak until it is well done you are ingesting a significant level of HCA’s and putting your health at risk.
Pouring Out the Nutrients What’s a person to do? Especially at this time of the year when our bodies and souls virtually long for a pot of steaming soup? Glad you asked! It seems as though many of the nutrients that are lost when food is cooked in water, and then the water is discarded, is IN the discarded water! So by all means experiment with cooking at the lowest effective temperature and reserve the water. For example, if you are planning on having mashed potatoes for a holiday meal, use the least amount of water possible, steam the potatoes gently and use the water as part of the liquid when you mash them.
What Makes You Feel Healthier When all is said and done, the healthiest way to cook and to eat is the way that makes YOU feel healthy. One person will thrive on a diet that is 80% or more raw, while another feels best practicing the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda which often calls for meals of rice, beans and veggies cooked together and enjoyed warm. Perhaps another achieves maximum vibrancy by incorporating both, depending on the time of the year and what is available. It’s good to know where there is agreement among proponents of the various nutrition camps though, and the negative effects of high-heat on food is generally well excepted. With a few simple adjustments you can cook the way you prefer and achieve your level of highest health!

Metastatic Cancer information from the National Cancer Institute
Key Points Metastatic cancer is cancer that has spread from the place where it first started to another place in the body. Metastatic cancer has the same name and same type of cancer cells as the original cancer. The most common sites of cancer metastasis are the lungs, bones, and liver. Treatment for metastatic cancer usually depends on the type of cancer and the size, location, and number of metastatic tumors. 32
thenewyoumagazine.net FALL EDITION 2016
What is metastatic cancer? Metastatic cancer is cancer that has spread from the place where it first started to another place in the body. A tumor formed by metastatic cancer cells is called a metastatic tumor or a metastasis. The process by which cancer cells spread to other parts of the body is also called metastasis. Metastatic cancer has the same name and the same type of cancer cells as the original, or primary, cancer. For example, breast cancer that spreads to the lungs and forms a metastatic tumor is metastatic breast cancer, not lung cancer.
Under a microscope, metastatic cancer cells generally look the same as cells of the original cancer. Moreover, metastatic cancer cells and cells of the original cancer usually have some molecular features in common, such as the expression of certain proteins or the presence of specific chromosome changes.
Q Can any type of cancer form a metastatic tumor?
A
Virtually all cancers, including cancers of the blood and the lymphatic system (leukemia, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma), can form metastatic tumors. Although rare, the metastasis of blood and lymphatic system cancers to the lungs, heart, central nervous system, and other tissues has been reported.
Q Where does cancer spread?
A
The most common sites of cancer metastasis are the lungs, bones, and liver. Although most cancers have the ability to spread to many different parts of the body, they usually spread to one site more often than others. The following table on the right shows, in descending order from left to right, the three most common sites of metastasis, excluding lymph nodes, for several types of cancer.
Cancer type
Main sites of metastasis
Breast Colon Kidney Lungs Melanoma Ovary Pancreas Prostate Rectum Stomach Thyroid Uterus

Q How does cancer spread?
A
Cancer cell metastasis usually involves the following steps:
Local Invasion: Cancer cells invade nearby normal tissue. Intravasation: Cancer cells invade and move through the walls of nearby lymph vessels or blood vessels. Circulation: Cancer cells move through the lymphatic system and the bloodstream to other parts of the body.
Metastatic cancer cells invade lymph vessels and blood vessels near a tumor and migrate to other parts of the body. FALL EDITION 2016 thenewyoumagazine.net

A Happy Ending and New Beginning By
Angela Cobb
Cancer is devastating. There is no way around this. When you get the call regarding your biopsy results, it seems like your plans, dreams and mere existence start caving in. No one wants this diagnosis and no one expects it. However, once you have it, your life changes for forever and some good things, even great things, can definitely come out of it. In 2008 I was living my life as a young mother of a 16-month-old, wife and business consultant. In August, I felt a hard knot the size of a pea on the upper part of my right breast. Although it could have easily been dismissed in my mind as a cyst or something left behind from breastfeeding, something told me to get it checked out. For a few months I was feeling off. It is hard to describe this feeling, but in addition to a touch of
34
thenewyoumagazine.net FALL EDITION 2016
sadness and depression, it seemed like I was catching a lot of colds. My body was trying to warn me and I am happy it did. I was 34-years-old and never had a mammogram. Although I was being monitored with annual exams, breast cancer was not high on the radar. My grandmother on my father’s side died from ovarian cancer and three of her sisters had breast cancer. The two who passed from breast cancer had an early onset in their 30s/40s. We were always aware that cancer was in our family, however, my dad had two brothers and no sisters. There was enough distance with the breast cancer that I was not put on as close of a watch as other young women who have grandmothers, mothers, and sisters with breast cancer.
Needless to say, it struck me. I went from worrying about when my toddler will potty-train to deciding on surgeries and preparing for chemotherapy. I am BRAC 1 positive which means that I have a genetic predisposition to develop breast cancer as well as ovarian in my lifetime. This discovery helped me make key decisions regarding my surgical options. After finding out that I did not have clean margins from the lumpectomy, I decided to go with a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. My treatment was through Siteman Cancer Center and my oncologist is Dr. Timothy Pluard who has done an amazing job keeping track of me for the past three years. Four surgeries, 16 rounds of chemo later, I was a different person. A better person –
I had more clarity and passion than I ever did in my life. The cancer journey was a long road but in some ways it was a metamorphosis. Our bodies and minds have the ability to heal, restore, change and come out as beautiful as ever. This could not have been possible without support and love from the people in my life – my husband, my son, my parents, my sister and brother, my bosses, family, friends and the list goes on. The most alarming thing I discovered post-diagnosis was that the 5 year survival rate for young women diagnosed with breast cancer is actually down compared to other age demographics. This is a statistic that The Young Women’s Breast Cancer Program through Siteman Cancer Center readily shares in their publication. Seeing this ignited something in me – a desire to survive and help other young survivors with this devastating disease. I was called to get involved and started seeking volunteer opportunities in the cancer community. That call was answered when I was connected with Bill Koman, a successful St. Louis entrepreneur, who was looking for an interim Executive Director for the inaugural Pedal the Cause event in 2010. Pedal the Cause is a 501c3 organization that raises money for cancer research at our local institutions - Siteman and Children’s Hospital. Bill, a two time cancer survivor, had a vision to recruit thousands of riders and fundraise several million annually through a weekend bike
event. This money would directly fund discovery research that is not currently funded by the government. This is the type of research that often results in breakthroughs for more effective cancer treatment and potential cures. We had less than 5 months to set up the website, recruit riders and volunteers, and plan a two day event. It was a scramble but we managed to recruit 800 riders and raise $910,000 in this first year. It was a memorable event different from any other in St. Louis. This year we expect 1500 riders and to raise $2M. While I was working with Pedal, we found out that I was pregnant. This was a welcome surprise – my husband and I were not sure what was next in terms of a second child. We knew we wanted a brother or sister for our son Christian but
did not know if I could get pregnant or if we needed to explore adoption. We did not focus on it – we were still recovering (I was a year out from chemo) and I just took on the position with Pedal the Cause which was a completely new challenge for me. It all worked out and that is what I have learned from this entire process. On February 18th, we welcomed our baby boy Jacob into this world. Christian and Jacob are already showing signs of connectedness and brotherhood. I hope they will be best of friends someday. He is an amazing gift that was given to our family. Today I am three years out from diagnosis. The bad memories and details fade but the fear of recurrence comes and goes. I so desperately want to stay in this wonderful life and would fight to keep it.
I hope to share three things from my experience. Know your family history and listen to your body. Cancer comes on strong and affects other things which create warning signs we should not ignore. I do not promote paranoia but highly recommend awareness.
1
If you have cancer, try to be grateful no matter what you lose. Even in our darkest moment there is something or someone keeping us together and we have to hope for a better tomorrow. I got my better tomorrow and believe others experience the same joy.
2
Support cancer research. It is a complicated disease and we have to stand together to find better preventative measures, treatment and cures. This is expensive and that is why there is a push for fundraising. Find out more about Pedal the Cause at www.pedalthecause.org.
