The trail to better health starts here 🚶‍♂️🌄✨

Hello and may this blog find you in excellent spirits, with your Medicare Insurance working well.

If you have questions or need help 🙋‍♂️ with Supplements, Medicare Advantage Plans, or Part D Drug plans🤔, please e-mail Gray, Gray@TheBig65.com or book a time on my calendar.

In August, my colleague Gray will be emailing you a list of your drugs from our last contact, if your are taking any medications💊🩺💉🧪. Our goal is to have all of your information updated well in advance of the Annual Election Period in October.

We don’t want you or your coverage to get lost in the woods😂

It never ceases to amaze me how rapidly time passes. You blink, and suddenly the young’uns you’ve known forever are all grown up.

This week we’ve been hosting our very first exchange student and his family. Back in 2003, Romain, came from his home in France to live with us for a year. It was such a great experience, and so good for our children, that we hosted eight more over the years. We love it when any of them visit.

The good thing about having guests in your home? It gets you out of the house and doing things locally that you never seem to get around to doing, like rafting.

Of course the rapids weren’t high enough for my wife Quantz (she’s the adrenaline junky), but everyone else had a great time.

When life gets hectic, or we just need a break, the best health remedy may not be coming from your doctor, a prescription, or your phone.

The best way to get healthy might be to hang out in the woods, alone or with the people you love.

Forest bathing (or shinrin yoku in Japanese) doesn’t mean you have to hike or count steps, it means being in nature.

It’s much more about breathing the cool air, noticing the sounds, the smells and the light.

In fact, studies show that just 2 hours a week  in nature can lead to measurable improvements in physical and emotional well-being, reducing stress hormones, lowering blood pressure, improving sleep, and even boosting immune function.

Just remember not to interrupt the moose when he is forest bathing 🫎 😅

And here’s the best part:

If you’re 62 or older, you qualify for the America the Beautiful Senior Lifetime Pass—an $80 one-time fee that gets you free entry to all U.S. National Parks, Forests, and more—for life. That includes places like Yellowstone, Yosemite, Rocky Mountain, and hundreds more.

Here’s the link or you can pick one up at any National Park Visitor center.

If you’re looking for more peace, better sleep and stronger health…get outside🌄.

And when you get back home, hopefully you’ll be energized to do all  of those projects 🛠️🏡🧰 you’ve been avoiding. But don’t worry, Plato promises to help. He has lots of friends at the hardware store😍.

And do keep squeezing the juice🍊 out of life and look for ways to help others.

If family or friends need help… referrals are the lifeblood of my business.
