11:30 a.m. After unpacking and taking in the Missouri River air, we left for The Bonesetter Apothecary on West 3rd Street, located in a historic building from 1869. The brick and mortar that’s known for “wellness, naturally,” has health tonics, natural beauty and body care, herbal remedies and supplements, candles, gifts, refillable cleaning products, essential oils, and more. Owner Dr. Teri Kramer also offers Red Light in the Self- Care Suite and Halotherapy in the Salt Vault (located in an old bank vault). They’re also known for their tea, which the team got to taste at the Tea Bar . “I have both what I call functional and dessert teas here—teas that are still good for you, but blended more for the palate,” said Kramer. “Then there are ones blended specifically to settle your stomach or help your hormones or whatever; the more functional stuff. We have all of that.” The apothecary hosts events and has different speakers, including her husband, Dr. TJ Stotz , who is a chiropractor and owner of The Bonesetter Chiropractic . 1:30 p.m. After a relaxing time of tea and shopping, the crew set off for Studio Seven , a pilate reformer studio owned by Kennedy Frick . Frick and her other instructor, Stephanie Rockne , lead four classes: Move (entry class), Elevate (intermediate), Burn (floor and reformer combination), and HIIT (foundations of reformer pilates with high- intensity interval training). Frick says she’s always been into fitness, and had broken her back in high school playing basketball. “I spent a lot of years trying to build my strength back up, trying to do exercises that made me feel good and not set me back even further,” she recalled. She discovered reformer pilates when she lived in Nashville later on, and immediately found it helpful with her painful areas. Frick let us watch a class, and then the whole 605 team gave it a try.
