"A little bit of something is better than a lot of nothing."

Popular media is always touting the benefits of aerobic health for cardiac fitness, or having toned muscles for a good appearance and strong metabolism, but Dr. Reiss has found that most infirmities from aging comes not from these factors but rather from a lack of flexibility.  Being unable to reach your shoelaces or the cups on the shelf, and all such manner of restricted access to your everyday tasks, can profoundly reduce the quality of life.  Dr. Reiss will demonstrate those easy stretches that will most dramatically improve the areas of greatest need. 

 

 4. Stress Management  
"It is easier to maintain your health than it is to recover it once it's gone."
John Robbins, author

Stress from the workplace, family challenges and even world events, can reduce the strength of your immune system.  This stress continued over time will cause hormonal depletion and a serious breakdown in your ability to heal.  Dr. Reiss will assist you in finding, or improving, the right form of stress management techniques and supportive supplements that work for you.
