August Newsletter
For Your Strength and Healthy Aging
🍂 A Note from Michelle
Welcome to August!
As summer begins to wind down, August is the perfect time to recommit to your health before the busy fall season arrives. Whether your goal is to improve strength, reduce stress, build confidence, or simply feel better in your body, every healthy choice matters.
I’m also excited to continue introducing Stillriver Senior Healthy Living & Disability Services, a new division of Stillriver Whole Wellness dedicated to helping older adults and individuals with disabilities remain active, independent, and connected throughout our communities.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your wellness journey.

💚 August Healthy Aging Tip
Small Habits Create Lasting Change
Healthy aging isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency.
This month, challenge yourself to:
✅ Walk 20–30 minutes most days.
✅ Strength train at least twice each week.
✅ Eat colorful fruits and vegetables every day.
✅ Stay hydrated during the summer heat.
✅ Spend time with family and friends.
Every healthy decision adds up over time.
