10 MARCH 2018 NORTHSHOREMAG.COM PHOTOGRAPHS BY LAUREN POUSSARD TOP, COURTESY OF MILL RIVER WINERY, BY DOUG LEVY, BY SHUTTERSTOCK / EDITOR'S NOTE / WELCOME TO THE ISSUE As we put the nal touches on our March Health and Wellness issue, it is mid-January and I can't help but think of the long New Year's resolution list sitting on my desk. Handwrit- ten on a yellow legal pad, the list is seemingly endless. With action items such as take the stairs (up and down), get more sleep, eat more greens, drink less wine, lose the winter weight, spin at least twice a week, nd time to medi- tate, and on and on and on. In our stressful, maxed-out lives, nding time to take care of ourselves can be nearly impossible. is issue comes to the rescue, whether you are over 50 and need to revamp your whole approach to tness or you're a new mom looking for a place to work out with other busy moms who can relate. Writer Lauren Torlone Mahoney visits Lisa Swanson, owner of Body & Soul Coaching and founder of Fit After 50, who oers her top 10 tips for getting t. As a one-on-one personal trainer, Swanson has an extensive back- ground and is a health coach, orthopedic exercise specialist, and nutrition coach, and she has the know-how to help her clients get into shape. We look at keeping not only the body t in this issue, but also the mind. Dawn Tardif, owner of BONS award–winning BodiScience Wellness Center & Spa, has introduced meditation workshops into her oerings. Meditation helps reduce stress, depression, and anxiety, and can even play a role in keeping physical ailments at bay. We also explore ways to keep our skin healthy and youthful. We visit Novo Sano Med Spa's new Rowley location, which oers cutting-edge techniques to keep skin soft and supple. Finally, we want to congratulate the Castle Connolly Top Doctors from the North Shore region who made the grade in 2018! See the full list on page 128. I hope this issue brings you closer to your wellness goals in 2018! HOLISTIC APPROACH Nancy E.
