As we welcome the new year, it’s the perfect time to focus on your well-being with insights from local health and wellness experts.

From transformative smile enhancements and patient-centered eye care to non-invasive body contouring, advanced skin rejuvenation, and simple ways to fuel your fitness journey, these professionals are offering innovative solutions to support a healthier, more confident you in 2025.

SIERRA SMILES

Following a full, fun holiday season, Dr. John Bocchi and the team at Sierra Smiles Complete Health Dentistry in Reno and Lake Tahoe encourage readers to consider their mouth health. Often, people may not think about what they’re drinking and how those beverages of choice can damage your teeth and overall health.

NVISION OPTIX

NVision Optix, the newest eye care practice in Reno, was founded by Dr. Jacqueline Donahue and her husband, Dr. Brian Benitz. With a passion for patient-centered eye care, the duo brings a refreshing approach to eye health and personalized attention.

COOLSCULPTING BY MARCI

Celebrate the new year with a new you! CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that helps reduce fat in areas of your body such as your chin, abdomen, love handles, thighs, and arms.

BEAM

The new year is full of celebrations. Still, for many, it also means dealing with unwanted skin issues, such as rosacea flare-ups, redness, and increased vascularity — especially after drinking alcohol. Fortunately, there’s a way to treat and prevent these inflammatory side effects. Living in high-altitude areas with four seasons and extreme cold can further contribute to skin dryness, stripping away moisture and leaving your skin vulnerable.

EVOKE FITNESS

Looking for an easy and delicious way to increase your protein intake throughout the day? Mena Spodobalski, owner of Evoke Fitness in Reno, recommends her favorite protein shake for a simple, nutrient-packed option to fuel your body and support your fitness goals. Whether it’s post-workout or as a midday snack, this shake is designed to keep you feeling full and energized.
