Free Workshop: Healthspan & Wealthspan
with UBS-Steele & Rozek Wealth Management

Living longer is only a gift if you can truly enjoy it. Longevity without health or financial security doesn’t create freedom—it extends hardship.

Healthspan & Wealthspan is an interactive workshop that brings together evidence-based health strategies and smart financial planning to help you thrive at every stage of life.

Join the expert clinical team at Thrive Carolinas, alongside financial professionals from UBS-Steele and Rozek Wealth Management, as we explore how health and wealth must work together to support true longevity.

What we’ll cover:
• How to extend the years you live well, with strength, energy, and clarity
• Evidence-based longevity strategies: nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and proactive care
• Financial planning for longer lives and rising healthcare costs
• How health decisions impact financial outcomes and how financial planning supports better health choices
• Why real longevity requires planning for both your body and your balance sheet

This isn’t about trends or quick fixes. It’s about sustainable strategies that help you live longer—and live better.

January 13, 2026
5:30–6:30 PM
Free to attend

Longevity should expand your options, not limit them.

Chicories Salad with Gorgonzola, Walnuts & Citrus Balsamic Dressing

This bright, winter-inspired salad highlights the bold, pleasantly bitter flavors of chicories paired with creamy Gorgonzola, toasted walnuts, and a citrus-forward balsamic dressing. Radicchio, endive, and frisée create a beautiful mix of color and texture, while wheat berries add a hearty whole-grain element—turning this dish from a simple side into a memorable starter or light meal.

Perfect for holiday gatherings, dinner parties, or anytime you’re craving a salad with depth and complexity.



Ingredients

Salad
• 1 head radicchio, quartered, leaves separated
• 1–2 heads endive, thinly sliced
• 2 heads frisée, washed and torn
• 2 watermelon radishes, thinly sliced
• ½ cup cooked wheat berries
• ⅓ cup Gorgonzola crumbles
• ½ cup toasted walnuts

Citrus Balsamic Dressing
• ½ cup fresh citrus juice (orange, grapefruit, Meyer lemon, or a blend)
• 1½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey



Directions
1. Cook wheat berries according to package instructions; let cool completely.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together citrus juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey until emulsified.
3. In a large bowl, combine radicchio, endive, frisée, and sliced radishes.
4. Add dressing, wheat berries, Gorgonzola, and walnuts; toss gently to coat.
5. Let the salad rest for 10–15 minutes, tossing occasionally, to allow the chicories to soften and absorb the flavors.
6. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

WHY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS FAIL:

Most New Year resolutions fail or wane by February for some very logical reasoning's. It is not from laziness or a lack of discipline. Actually, according to Eastern medicine and philosophy, your body and brain are doing exactly what they are intended to do, this time of year. We look at things from natures perspective, winter time, longer nights, more darkness and coldness in North America. It is considered the most "Yin" time of year. Time to be contemplative, time to slow down, rest more, consolidate your energy. Look to nature, bears are hibernating, squirrels have buried their food, all preparing for the long winter to store and conserve their energy, getting ready for spring. No new growth on the plants or tree's, but the seeds are preparing and the roots growing deeper. Winter time is the time to work on balancing your three treasures, Body, Breath and Mind (spirit).

Perhaps winter isn't the best time for natures "New Year". Perhaps, it is natures way of telling us to take a deep breath, a deep inhale and a deep pause.

Winter is the time for preparation, restoration, being quiet, listening more, judging less, and working on compassion and empathy for all, including yourself. Maybe we should follow the seasonal philosophy of using winter as a time for deeper contemplative exercises and look to spring when the energy is higher, growth is abundant and renewal awaits to entertain our thoughts and desires for resolutions or better verbiage, new growth and connections.

So, if you've felt called to be more contemplative lately, more meditative, more inward, there is nothing wrong with you. You are aligning with nature's rhythm. Let winter prepare you for the new energy that awaits, when Spring begins.

It is not the time for resolution, but the time for intention. It is not the time to reinvent yourself, but the time to return to yourself.

May you have a wonderful and Happy New Year and may your emotional and physical health find balance and harmony in the coming season.

Lastly, look for announcement's in the new year for Qi Gong and Meditation classes I will be teaching at Thrive.

Yoga and Learn: Menopause and HRT Part 1

Let’s explore what happens during menopause, common symptoms, and the wide range of experiences women may have during this transition. We’ll take a closer look at hormone replacement therapy (HRT): what it is, how it works, potential benefits, possible risks, and who might be a good candidate. Our goal is to provide reliable information, debunk myths, and create a comfortable space where participants can ask questions, share experiences, and learn from one another.

Whether you’re approaching menopause, navigating it now, or supporting someone who is, this session will help you feel more informed, confident, and connected. Class begins with a 55-minute yoga class with Suzanne Bergen, and ends with a short presentation by Thrive’s physicians.

Date: Monday, January 26th
Time: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Cost: $35 (FREE for Thrivers!)
