You’ve heard the mantra, “new year, new me.” But how do you make 2026 the year it actually sticks—especially when it comes to your health and wellness? With the extra demands and stress of the holiday season in the rearview mirror, a new year presents an opportunity to focus on what is often neglected: your body.
A few small changes can make a big difference in both the way you look and feel, and with many local, modern options at your disposal to support you, getting your body in shape can be accomplished.
HALCYON HEALTH
Specializing in hormone replacement therapy, Rachel Bowers knows firsthand how it feels to be desperate for change. Rachel, a physician assistant at Halcyon Health, treats patients with passion and empathy from her own long-term experience suffering from hormone imbalance.
The symptoms can seem unsuspecting, but hormone imbalances can reveal itself in many ways. “Common symptoms [both in men and women] may include weight gain, poor sleep, brain fog/lack of ability to focus, fatigue, and/or skin changes (acne or dry skin),” Rachel shared.
Aging naturally causes a dip in hormones. “It is across the board, and no one escapes this,” she explained. “Hormones are so important and so effective in improving our health because they work to support every single system and cellular activity within our bodies.”
While modifications to diet and exercise are helpful in managing symptoms, healthier habits alone cannot replace a missing hormone. “There is no amount of clean eating or exercise that will ‘balance’ a hormone your body no longer makes,” said Rachel. “This is where BHRT comes in.”
BHRT, or Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, is treatment designed on an individual basis that combines symptom relief and root cause targeting. It is a whole-body approach that Rachel and the Halcyon team dedicate their practice to, in addition to offering a variety of wellness services to benefit anyone in need.
“Halcyon not only supports your wellness through hormone optimization, but also through ancillary services such as IV nutrients and hydration and contrast therapy,” shared Rachel, whose biggest advice in taking care of yourself is not ignoring the signs your body gives you.
“If you notice that you’re feeling more tired than usual, can’t sleep through the night anymore, or are struggling to focus, those are all indicators that something is shifting in your body, and prevention is better than correction.”
BODY20
Exercise can fit in with your busy schedule with a fitness studio like BODY20 in Summerlin South.
Garrett Tunis is the owner of the studio revolutionizing effective workouts that promise results with a simple yet impressive motto: train smarter, not longer.
“At BODY20, we thrive on helping our clients maximize strength and minimize time,” Garrett said. “We see a lot of busy professionals, parents and entrepreneurs who love the idea of getting a powerful, science-backed workout without spending hours in the gym.”
The BODY20 concept is popular for its customized, one-on-one training sessions with a certified coach that require just 20 minutes a week. Using cutting-edge technology and personalized coaching, “Each 20-minute session uses electro-muscle stimulation (EMS) to activate every major muscle group simultaneously–something traditional workouts can’t do much in such a short time,” he added.
Every session is equal to four hours in the gym with a guarantee of 36,000 muscle contractions and is a commitment to your health that impacts nearly every aspect of your life. Garrett is inspired by the transformations he witnesses daily.
“Many of our members walk in feeling pressed for time, discouraged by traditional fitness routines, or unsure of where to start,” he shared. “Within just a few sessions, you can see their confidence build as they realize how effective these 20-minute personalized workouts really are.”
This revelation is often the only motivation needed to keep pushing towards goals previously regarded as unattainable. “Our clients consistently tell us how empowering it is to fit an effective, full-body workout into their week without sacrificing family time, work or other commitments.”
Getting your body in shape, Garret says, is all about taking the first step–and keeping it moving.
“You don’t need hours in the gym or an extreme plan to see real results,” he stressed. “You just need to start, stay committed and find something that fits your lifestyle.”
INFINITE WELLNES
One of Jennifer Haas’ favorite quotes is from Benjamin Franklin: “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.”
Jennifer is the owner of Infinite Wellness Las Vegas, a medical clinic serving patients by helping them feel good from the inside so they can look their best on the outside. With services like GLP injections, Anti-Aging, and Peptide Therapy, Infinite Wellness can treat anything from common issues like hair loss and inflammation to Botox and sports massages; they have something for everyone no matter where they are on their health journey.
“We only get one body, so we have to take care of it from remaining active to being vigilant about our nutrition,” Jennifer said. When more is needed, she and her team are there for support with the necessary medical intervention or special care their body may need.
Stem Cell Therapy is the clinic’s primary treatment that offers patients an alternative to surgery or the traditional corticosteroid injection. “Infinite Wellness uses mesenchymal stem cells which have a growing number of applications from repairing and replacing cells, tissues or organs, joint healing, anti-aging, reducing inflammation and pain management.”
For Jennifer, watching patients experience the same life-changing relief she has with the proper care inspires her to in her mission of helping men and women transform their health.
“When you see someone who has become almost immobile from years of pain get stem cell treatment and within two weeks is lifting heavy equipment with no pain, I don’t see how you couldn’t want to scream it from the rooftops so that everyone knows this treatment is available, affordable and provides real results,” she exclaimed.
