10/20 Elevated Health 8-Week Series

October 20 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
$125

Presented by the AlcheMē Natural Health Institute

An 8-Week Program for Adults 55+

Elevated Health.

Eight weeks to care for your health before the holidays, and walk into the new year feeling stronger, steadier, and more like yourself than you have in years.

What if this holiday season found you with more energy, not less? Elevated Health is our new whole-person health program, created for adults 55 and better who are ready to take their health into their own hands, and to have a wonderful time doing it, together.

This is not a class you drop into. It is a guided 8-week journey with your own health plan at the center. You begin with a private one-on-one assessment of your strength, balance, sleep, stress, and the goals that matter most to you. In December, a second assessment and a personal results conversation show you how far you have come. In between, you practice together every Tuesday with Katie and Allison, build simple 10-minute daily home rituals, and learn the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: movement, stress resilience, restorative sleep, nourishment, connection, and purpose.

And yes, we meet right through Thanksgiving week. While the season swirls, you will have your practice, your people, and your plan. You finish on December 8 with real momentum, measurable progress, and the tools to make 2027 your healthiest year yet.

Your 8 Weeks Include

→

A private 1:1 intake visit: your personal health snapshot and goal plan

→

Eight 90-minute Tuesday sessions of gentle movement, breath, and meditation, each with a lifestyle medicine theme

→

A printed weekly practice guide: 10 minutes a day, at home, at your pace

→

A small, committed circle of just 20, so you are known by name

A follow-up assessment in December, with your results in your own numbers

→

Clinical oversight from nurse researcher Dr. Jennifer Barrows
