Our health and wellness in Northern Nevada reflects how we live, move, and care for ourselves in a high-desert environment. In this issue, we explore everything from the growing popularity of pickleball as a way to stay active and connected, to the role of airway health and dentistry that impacts the whole body by improving sleep and long-term well-being. We also take a closer look at hydration and skin care in our dry climate, the importance of consistent, mindful self-care, and how everyday nutrition choices can reduce the risk of serious illness. Meet the local experts who are helping people better understand their bodies, build sustainable routines, and make informed decisions that support lasting health. |

When it comes to oral health and overall wellness, most people focus on brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits. Yet one of the most overlooked influences on long-term health is how we breathe. Chronic mouth breathing and snoring often are dismissed as minor inconveniences, but they are frequently signs of deeper oral, airway, and sleep-related issues. |

This time of year, hydration takes center stage, especially in Northern Nevada’s dry, high-desert climate. At Renew & Nurture Skin Care in Reno, owner Adina Lindbloom recognizes that winter strips moisture from the skin, and when combined with cold air, wind, and elevation, it can leave skin stressed and depleted. She consistently tells her clients that when it comes to hydration, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. |

In a world that moves quickly, self-care often is the first to be pushed aside. Yet the moments we choose to slow down, to check in with our bodies, our stress levels, and our skin, often are the ones that matter most over time. Self-care isn’t about perfection; it’s about consistency, awareness, and giving yourself space to reset. |

March was both National Colon Cancer Awareness Month and National Nutrition Month, making it the perfect time to highlight how everyday food choices can help protect your colon and reduce cancer risk. Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women in the United States. The good news? Many cases are preventable. When detected early, the five-year survival rate for colon and rectal cancer is greater than 90 percent, according to the National Cancer Institute. Prevention and early action truly matter. |
