GRATEFUL IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT A Big Thank-You to All of the Moms Out There
Mothers exude dedication and love in its purest form. A mother is selflessly devoted from the moment her child enters the world. Mothers put their blood, sweat, and tears into everyone
own self-care habits. Please see Page 2 of this newsletter for more information on these habits, such as journaling, exercising,
spending time with friends, and doing things you love. This helps to foster a feeling of self-fulfillment and
they love. During May, we celebrate Mother’s Day, a time to thank the motherly figures who have significantly impacted our lives. I am honored to recognize all the hardworking mothers who never give up. In our workplace, amidst the hustle and bustle of daily tasks and responsibilities, it is essential to take a moment and acknowledge the incredible women who show up every day with a smile on their faces. However, for mothers especially, feeling appreciated for their tireless efforts in balancing work and family means the world. As Mother’s Day approaches, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all mothers in our office who juggle multiple roles with grace and resilience.
identity outside of the immediate family. By spending time outside, going for a walk, or chatting with a friend, mothers can lean on one another for support and advice, creating a supportive bond with each
other. I also recommend adequate sleep to prioritize mental well-being and improve daily functions.
To all mothers out there, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your unwavering dedication, boundless love, and tireless sacrifices. Your generosity has no limits as you navigate the complexities of motherhood with grace and resilience. From the sleepless
nights comforting your children to the countless meals prepared with love, your efforts will never go unnoticed.
It is no secret that being a mother comes with unique challenges, from managing anxiety to finding moments of rest amid a whirlwind of responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning for everyone in the family. I wish all the children in the world could never lose sight of their mother’s hard work and the many things she does to give her family the best possible life. The family often doesn’t notice her everyday tasks because everyone has things going on, but a mother is always there.
Mothers serve as the pillars of our family, holding and constantly lifting us; they are silent heroes who hold everything together, even if they are falling apart. Thank you for your patience and support in all aspects of your life. A mother’s love shapes our lives in ways we may never fully comprehend, and we are forever grateful for that. Happy Mother’s Day to all of you.

MASTERING THE MARATHON
3 WAYS TO BUILD HEALTHY HABITS
The journey to healthier habits is a marathon, not a sprint, and as such, it is a daunting task. Here are three tips to help you begin your journey, whether your goal is to lose weight, improve your diet, work out regularly, or just establish a more balanced lifestyle.
achieving these milestones will solidify your commitment to your new healthy habits.
NO. 1 — START SMALL Start your journey to better health in small ways, as attempting drastic change can be overwhelming. You should first focus on incremental adjustments to your routine. If your goal is to exercise more, start with short walks in the evenings after dinner or take the stairs in the office instead of elevators. These changes lay the foundation for long-term success. Starting small will make it easier to transition to larger changes, like adding a morning workout or speeding up your evening walk into a jog. NO. 2 — SET SPECIFIC GOALS Setting clear, attainable goals can easily motivate you. Rather than vague aspirations, like “exercise more” or “eat healthy,” define your goals into objectives like “walk 20 minutes every day” or “eat vegetables with every meal.” These goals can be a road map for your journey as you can track your progress as time goes on. Consistently
NO. 3 — STAY CONSISTENT Consistency is at the core of building a habit — establishing a routine that aligns with your health goals. A structured routine supports habit formation, and consistency reinforces it. If you miss a day of your new habit, a routine helps you bounce back into the structure without being hard on yourself. As you continue building healthy habits, consistency will help ingrain them into your lifestyle. You can lay the groundwork for lasting, healthy habits by embracing these three tips. Small, gradual changes become the foundation for continued success, while clear objectives serve as milestones to celebrate success along the way. So, take joy in the process, celebrate the victories, and know that building these healthy habits is a marathon worth running.
EMPOWER YOUR INNER MOM
Self-Care Secrets for Mothers
Women often overlook self-care, especially amidst the demands of motherhood. Yet, above all, mothers must prioritize it for their well-being and their families. Carving out wellness moments empowers mothers to recharge, refocus, and be the best version of themselves. Here are a few self-care tips for moms (or anyone!).
JOURNALING Being a mother often gets tiring, so moms can benefit significantly from journaling, which provides a dedicated space for reflection, self-expression, and emotional processing. By journaling, you get your thoughts out of your head and onto paper as an emotional release. It’s a valuable outlet for many people, especially hardworking moms! EXERCISING Mothers can release tension and emotions from a long, hard day by walking or participating in a yoga class. Fitting these practices into a busy day is challenging, so try carving out time for yourself in the morning or at the end of the day. Getting out in the fresh air and doing something positive for yourself can be a real boost.
SPENDING TIME WITH FRIENDS Spending time with friends is an especially important break for mothers. Other moms can provide a support system, but friends in general outside the family can help women gain a better perspective. They can share hobbies or do things they enjoy outside of being a mother, which reminds them that they are not just moms. They have identities as women with unique interests, talents, and outside identities rather than just being moms all the time. Self-care is not a luxury for moms; it’s a necessity. By nurturing themselves, moms will become better equipped to meet the demands of parenthood with resilience, patience, and love. Let’s face it: Moms do more than we know, so they must make time to do the things they love.

CITRUS BBQ CHICKEN
Trusting a natural solution doctor has proven to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. The journey toward holistic healing and wellness under the guidance of a fantastic doctor dedicated to natural remedies has been nothing short of transformative. This experience improved my physical well-being and empowered me to take charge of my health in a safe manner. Dr. Tom Sladic at Natural Solutions for Health changed my life. Before consulting Dr. Tom Sladic at Natural Solutions for Health, I faced numerous health challenges, including difficulties losing weight, constipation issues, and discomfort when transitioning from sitting to standing. However, my life took a remarkable turn after following the treatment plan prescribed by Dr. Sladic. Under his care, I shed an impressive 38 pounds and continued to lose an additional 2 pounds even after completing the dietary plan. This is an outcome I had never achieved with previous diets that left me struggling with weight regain. Despite maintaining the same job as last year, I noticed a huge contrast in my ability to manage stress; this time, I remained resilient and unaffected, thanks to Dr. Sladic’s intervention. What drew me to Dr. Sladic’s program was his reliance on natural solutions and thorough blood tests without using pharmaceutical drugs. This approach eliminated the guessing game typically associated with other treatments, providing me with a sense of reassurance and confidence in the result of his methods. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Sladic for his exceptional care and expertise, which have truly transformed my life for the better. His personalized approach and commitment to natural remedies have addressed my health concerns and instilled a newfound sense of vitality and well-being. Thank you, Dr. Sladic, for your unwavering support and dedication to your patients. PATIENT SPOTLIGHT: J. SCHWARTZ The Power of Holistic Healing

4. Rejuvenate Your Routine With 4 Spring Wellness Changes
SPRING INTO WELLNESS Refreshing Ways to Revitalize Your Health Routine
Spring is the season of renewal and rejuvenation, so there’s no better time to revitalize your health and wellness routine. New routines can boost your motivation and keep you engaged. From workouts to diet, it’s time to get out and take advantage of the sunshine!
FIND FRIENDS A workout buddy can keep you invested in your routine. They’ll keep you motivated and accountable — it’s much harder to skip a workout if someone’s relying on you. Even better, a partner can keep you safe if you’re weight training. Consider enrolling in a class if you have trouble finding someone to work out with. Not only can you learn new fitness tips and tricks, but you can also make friends. SPRINGIFY YOUR DIET Winter typically involves plenty of warm comfort meals, such as soups and hot chocolate, but spring is blooming with other options. It offers an array of refreshing and delightfully light dishes. Strawberries, pineapples, and avocados are best these months, along with many other delicious foods perfect for salads and smoothies. Shake up spring and keep to your regimen. There’s no better time to build healthy habits, especially in May’s warm weather. Take a jog with a friend, and afterward, enjoy a strawberry smoothie, and you’ll surely have an exceptional season.
GET OUTSIDE Winter is fierce, unrelenting, and notorious for derailing outdoor fitness routines. It’s finally warm enough to exercise outside, so mix things up and get outside. Jump on a bike and ride through the wind. Slip on your jogging shoes and run through the neighborhood. Put on your swimsuit and head to the pool. Nature is full of challenging and fun activities, so take advantage of the warm weather before the next winter arrives.
SPICE UP YOUR ROUTINE If you’re into yoga or weight training, try new exercises. A new routine ensures you won’t miss any muscles while keeping you engaged. When the treadmill becomes a dreadmill , do your cardio on an elliptical or stationary bike. Grab some free weights if you’re starting to find weight machines dull. There’s always an alternative to keep things interesting.
