Alamere Falls via Coast Trail
by RYAN MARTINEZ Know the Tides
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: There’s a plethora of poison oak on the trail, which may be difficult to identify in winter. A shortcut is available, which shaves off four miles but requires scrambling down a slippery section of shale and shouldn’t be done at high tide. Wear shoes with traction, long layers, and sun protection. As always, practice Leave No Trace ethics.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Waterfalls cascading into the Pacific Ocean; seaside views through eucalyptus, pines, and oak trees; and enough mileage for a good night’s sleep (if you want to make a weekend of it, we recommend staying at Olema House) make this one of the Bay Area’s best hikes.
FUEL UP: “Eat well and you shall be happy” is what Los Moles (losmoles.com) owner Lito Saldaña considers the art of homemade food. Step into his award-winning eatery and try eight types of traditional, family-inspired mole (pronounced moh-lay) or belly up to the weekend buffet featuring pozole, menudo, café de olla, and more.
There are two forces responsible for the tides: the moon and the rotational force of the earth. The side of the earth closest to the moon will feel the full gravitational pull of our lunar sidekick, and the ocean tides will rise on this side of the planet.
On the opposite side of the moon, water resists the movement of our globe’s rotation, causing waters to rise on this side, too.
Most shorelines experience two high tides and two low tides every day. Tide tables can help you plan your trip out to the beach and know when to head out (or back in).

DENISE BOGARD, M.D., FAARFM, ABAARM
BOGARD HEALTH - WELL AGING MED
ANTI-AGING MEDICINE PRACTICE
Dr. Bogard has a long history in the health field. From an RN to a nurse anesthetist to an anesthesiologist, she spent almost 40 years in the operating room. She was exposed to critical care, trauma, obstetrics, lots of on call hours and sleepless nights. As she entered her 50's she found her own health starting to decline and sought out a healthy aging physician. After experiencing the benefits she sought out the fellowship of regenerative and healthy aging through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. She opened an office in 2014 and continues to grow and expand her knowledge into this evolving field of medicine. Rather than prescribing medications and bandaging diseases she looks for the "root causes" and integrates each system in the body together. She also looks at environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors which result in "dis-ease". Her continued and expanding practice utilizes bioidentical hormone replacement, thyroid and adrenal optimization, GI healing, testing for heavy metals and IV nutrition and chelation, advanced lipid testing, and advanced blood sugar testing.

MIMI SATO-RE, M.D. FAMILY MEDICINE
Caring for patients for over 25 years as a family practice physician has been very rewarding to me. Augmenting my traditional medicine practice with functional and regenerative medicine has inspired me to find the root cause of patients’ illnesses while also bringing them to their optimal health from the inside out. Feeling well is the primary goal. I have incorporated many modalities to keep patients living lives to their fullest. Growing up in Hawaii, I enjoyed being in a naturally healthy environment and I found myself wanting to promote health in others. Becoming a physician, and traveling a path ranging from serving as President of my medical school class to serving as a Chief Resident of the U.C. Davis Department of Family and Community Medicine, allowed me to develop a solid foundation for having an active presence in the lives of my patients and finding deep satisfaction in seeing them thrive. In my practice, I promote attainment of key health objectives by encouraging, among other things, lifestyle changes, supplementation, energy medicine, low intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy, platelet rich plasma, myofascial release therapy, PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy), and ION Cleanse to benefit and enrich my patients’ lives. Most recently, I have begun utilizing the OPUS microfractional plasma system to rejuvenate facial skin, bringing my patients even closer to optimal health, so that they can not only feel their best, but also look their best.
