WALK THIS WAY!!!
[LIFESTYLE]
✏️ Adam Moore ()

Fall’s here. Time to grab your boo, the pup, or the kiddos and go for a walk—even if, like me, your kiddo () is 6’1” and has the stride of a giraffe.

A recent 2025 study found that adults between the ages of 40 and 79 who walked at least 3,800 steps a day reduced their risk of developing dementia by 25%. Those who averaged closer to 10,000 steps saw their risk cut in half!

There’s no “correct” walking technique, but here are two of my favorite tips that I share with clients to level up your walking game:

MIND 🧠
Brains get mushy unless you force adaptation. Increase neuroplasticity by syncing the same side arm and leg as you walk.

Yep, it feels weird 😮‍💨

But if you can stick with it for five minutes, it will stimulate both brain hemispheres, build new motor-function pathways, and boost coordination, balance, and focus.

BODY 🚶🏾
Posture degrades over time. Battle it with this great method from the Alexander Technique:
Picture yourself as a tower. Your feet, knees, hips, pelvis, core, arms, neck, and head are all bricks which need to align properly to keep you upright.

Start at the bottom with your feet and “stack” each body part upon the last, making sure they’re all balanced.

This will keep your spine aligned, force proper posture, and build core strength while you stroll!

THAT SYNCING FEELING
[MIND & BODY]

One week you're crushing your workouts, the next you can barely get off the couch. Sound familiar?

Your personal failure might be a biological signal.

Cycle syncing is all about ditching the one-size-fits-all approach to wellness and learning to work with your body's natural rhythms, not against them.

Check out how to get started.

QUESTION: Do you notice your energy or mood change throughout the month? Tell us in the comments!

YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT WRONG
[HEALTHY THINKING]
✏️ Adam Moore ()

"The wound is the place where the Light enters you."-Rumi.

Blind spots... those impulsively self-destructive, shadowy areas of our awareness that mysteriously 'pop up' as unwanted habits, are simultaneously also fantastic beacons of insight into why we do the things we do (and how to stop doing them).

They show us through our own reoccurring thoughts and actions where the pain is, and point to where our inner work still needs to be done.

When you stop turning away from your blind spots and instead have the courage to gaze into them head on, you begin to realize that the goal isn't figuring out *how* to stop consuming that bowl of ice cream (glass of wine… puff of weed…) each night.

The goal is figuring out why you do it to begin with.

Which personal blind spot are you looking to stare down in 2026?

IS IT REALLY ADHD OR JUST THEIR BIRTHDAY?
[HEALTHY THINKING]
✏️

If you have a kiddo born in August and it’s been suggested they might have ADHD, you need to know about the Relative Age Effect, the invisible factor behind a wave of misdiagnoses.

This one detail shapes thousands of ADHD labels every year, and can dictate a child’s medical path for years to come.

Sometimes the difference between a positive diagnosis and no diagnosis... is just a birthday.

A COMMON SCENTS APPROACH TO HEALING
[LIFESTYLE]
✏️

When we first built WHEELHOUSE we thought a lot about the patient experience. We didn’t know exactly what it would look like but we knew what we wanted it to FEEL like.

Warm, calm, embracing… a place that traded the white coat anxiety you get at most doctors offices for a sense of peace and tranquility.

There’s lots of ways to regulate the nervous system, but one of the quickest is through your nose.

In a 2023 study, patients who inhaled chamomile essential oil during stressful hospital stays showed nearly 50% lower anxiety scores and reduced heart rate and blood pressure. And in another clinical trial, women who inhaled bergamot essential oil for just 15 minutes experienced a 25% drop in cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone.

I love custom blending our environmental scents to match our seasonal vibe, and if you come by you’ll get to experience them firsthand.

Just another way we’re helping patients !

Happy National Interns Day!

WHEELHOUSE was built on one simple truth…
People thrive when they have a team behind them.

The same goes for us.

For seven years, our Marketing & PR Internship Program has brought together some of the brightest, most creative minds to build a team that continues to inspire us and the people we serve.

Every semester brings new energy, fresh ideas, and standout talent.

It has been incredible to watch our interns grow, take ownership, and carry what they have learned into the world.

Now, with just over four weeks left in this summer’s program, we are interviewing for our fall team of next-level visionaries.

Know a college student who is creative, driven, and interested in innovative health approaches?

DM us or 📩: hr@WHEELHOUSE.health

Let’s build something great together.
