Planted Platter Of Saratoga Springs Provides Cooking Classes And Wellness Programs

For plant-based cooking and nutrition instructor Deb Czech, the ongoing COVID pandemic and its health impacts have expanded the reasons why people are starting to put more plants on their plate. 

Czech is the owner of Planted Platter of Saratoga Springs, a business providing plant-based cooking classes, coaching services, and customized workplace wellness programs. Planted Platter also collaborates with Capital Region nonprofits on plant-based cooking events for their members and clients.

To address rising consumer interest in plant-based diets, Planted Platter is offering a dozen online classes this fall that people can mix and match to their own health needs. 

“The fundamental principles of a whole-food, plant-based diet remain the same across all classes,” said Czech. “What changes is the presentation of medical information and research specific to a given condition, whether that’s Type 2 diabetes or heart disease or anxiety or menopause or something else.” 

More information about classes is available at plantedplatter.com.

Kayla Craft has been practicing yoga for 20 years and has owned and operated the Yoga Kayla studio for the past seven on the second floor of 206 Glen St in Glens Falls. 

Since 2014, yoga enthusiasts have climbed an old 20-step wooden staircase to enter into the yoga studio. 

In early July, Craft moved her New York State Women Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) down the block to 282 Glen St. She expanded the studio’s offering and renamed the business Grounded on Glen St. 

“When I first opened Yoga Kayla, it was just me teaching. But now I have 18 instructors and offer mediation, pilates, teaching certification and retreats,” she said. “Rebranding the business was a must.”

Grounded on Glen St is located on the corner of Glen and South streets. It is now a street-level studio that features group classes, one-on-one private sessions, yoga weekends, urban retreats, wellness programs, meditation and mindfulness classes taught by the 18 certified instructors.

Your health is an individual journey that should be personalized to your unique needs and circumstances. As a registered dietitian working at Glens Falls Hospital, I strive every day to support our patients where they are in their health journey. 

Whether you’ve established healthy routines that work for you or are looking to make a change in your current routine, consider these tips for living a well-balanced, healthier lifestyle:  

1. Rely on trusted sources of information for facts about nutrition. 

With the influx of social media influencers and advertisements surrounding fad diets and trends, we are constantly bombarded with misleading or false information about what “healthy” means. 

Without consulting a trusted source, it can be difficult to identify what type of lifestyle and diet is best for your particular needs. Our society’s diet culture also tends to promote restrictive eating habits, and a one-size-fits-all solution, which doesn’t guarantee weight loss or better health.

Business Report: Healthy Habits Help People Do Their Best

Chances are, if you are reading this newspaper, then you are someone who is driven and business oriented.
Probably somebody who is an entrepreneur or someone who is committed to achieving the highest levels in their profession. I understand that mindset completely. I am that person too.
That is why I am so passionate about helping people achieve their best selves. It all starts with your health.
Oftentimes, it is the most driven people who tend to be the most unhealthy. Working as a physical therapist for over 30 years has exposed me to disease and illnesses that result from poor nutrition, stress and unhealthy habits. Over the last 15-20 years, the population of people I treat has increasingly shifted from simple orthopedic injuries to more complicated cases of patients who are simply “sick” with obesity-related medical illnesses and physical dysfunctions.

Nutrition is now an emphasis at Acupuncture Nirvana, at 451 Glen St., Glens Falls, with the addition of a mew registered dietician.
Danielle Kiser has joined the staff of Acupuncture Nirvana. She received her M.S. in dietetics from SUNY Oneonta.
Kiser does not promote dieting or extreme calorie restrictions. Instead, she works with clients to create realistic and sustainable lifestyle changes.
According to owner Katherine “Kat” MacKenzie, having a nutritionist on staff will benefit many of the practice’s acupuncture clients. Patients who combine dietary changes with acupuncture are often better able to manage their symptoms.
“I see a lot of people who have issues that are related to diet,” said MacKenzie.
For example, she said she worked with a patient who suffered from migraines. The woman was unaware her crippling headaches were triggered by an undiagnosed gluten allergy.

In 2006, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that many diseases that were a direct result of nutritional deficiencies in populations had increasingly given way to chronic diseases related to dietary imbalances and poor nutritional habits.

At the time, the journal pointed to the need to focus on preventive approaches to healthcare that include assessments of nutritional intake on both the individual and the community levels.

Twelve years later, the need for proper nutritional balance and better dietary choices is more urgent than ever. A 2018 article in U.S. News & World Report stated that 39.6 percent of Americans over age 20 are considered to be obese. The figure is up nearly six percent from 2008.

Imaging System Provides More Comfort, Less Confinement For Glens Falls Hospital Patients

Imaging System Provides More Comfort, Less Confinement For Glens Falls Hospital Patients

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is said to be one of the most valuable tools available to doctors for the diagnosis of neurological, orthopedic, and cancer conditions.

Glens Falls Hospital officials said they have taken that value to the next level with the addition of a new, enhanced MRI system that offers higher-quality images, faster exam times and greater patient comfort and convenience, particularly for people bothered by feelings of claustrophobia.

The hospital recently invested more than $1.5 million to purchase and install the Siemens MAGNETOM Aera 1.5 T MRI System in its newly renovated MRI Suite located in the Medical Imaging Department on the first floor of the West Wing. The new system replaces an older MRI unit that was housed in the basement of the Pruyn Pavilion. MRI is a non-invasive imaging technology that uses powerful magnets and radiofrequency currents to produce three-dimensional, detailed anatomical images without the use of radiation.
