Good day!
I hope this newsletter reaches you in good health and prospering. Now that things have re-opened and we are able to move about a bit while being exceedingly cautious of course, I am enjoying doing what is my current purpose and that is to serve your health and wellness needs. This hiatus only affirmed what I already knew, "health should be the number one priority." The first line of defense for any ailment is good health, not limited to physical health.
Over the past year, the mental and emotional health of many has diminished while dealing with isolation. The emotional toll of isolation for such long durations of time can be akin to solitary confinement which for those incarcerated is considered punishment. We were built for socialization, human touch and we thrive on connectedness. When our mental and emotion health is compromised, it threatens our physical as well as the opposite.
For my readers, now is the time to be empowered. I encourage you to take control of your physical, mental and emotional health. If you don't know where to begin, ask someone. There are many resources including Sound Body Solutions.
.
This newsletter contains valuable information designed to support good physical and mental health. Enjoy the read and please share the Wellness Works experience with others by forwarding this email to a friend.

You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex..but, eventually it will ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hand inside pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them.--Iyanla Vanzant

Black Fatigue
How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit
|
President & Chief Executive Officer
Mary-Frances Winters, founder and CEO of The Winters Group, Inc., a global organization development and diversity and inclusion consulting firm. Mary-Frances is the author of Black Fatigue...the first book to define and explore the intergenerational impact of systemic racism on the physical and psychological health of Black people - and explain why and how society needs to collectively do more to combat its pernicious effects. This book, designed to illuminate the myriad dire consequences of “living while Black”, came at the urging of Winters’ Black friends and colleagues. Winters describes how in every aspect of life - from economics to education, work, criminal justice, and, very importantly, health outcomes - for the most part, the trajectory for Black people is not improving. It is paradoxical that, with all the attention focused over the last 50 years on social justice and diversity and inclusion, little progress has been made in actualizing the vision of an equitable society.
or what they deserve”.
This is a vital resource for Black and non-Black people who are looking for ways to heal, learn, and have productive and supportive conversations about racial injustice and trauma.

Just What The
Doctor Ordered
|
Since her childhood, Kelechi A. Uduhiri, MD, MPH, MS wanted to be a physician. Inspired by the bedside manner and kind deliberations of her family’s house-call doctor, she finally realized that dream, as the first woman in her family to become a medical doctor. She delighted in the time spent with her patients, hearing their stories, understanding them more deeply. As years passed, however, she spent less and less time with her patients—ending up at a shocking seven-minutes-per-patient timeline due to the enormous amounts of paperwork and documentation. She knew she had to make a change.
Kelechi is a passionate physician and entrepreneur who leapt from within the four walls of medicine to forge an entrepreneurial career path. She focuses her efforts on empowering people, especially women, worldwide to inspire them to identify their soul’s purpose and live a life full of joy and passion. Dr. Uduhiri was recognized as a fellow by the American Academy of Family Medicine and awarded the title of Emerging Leader in Family Medicine from Family Medicine Education Consortium.
In Just What the Doctor Ordered: Ten Reasons to Live Your Truth, Dr. Kelechi shares ten mantras with readers so that they, too, may transform their lives from the daily grind into inspired, intentional living. Her faith-based ideals led her to her new dream: to empower people around the world, sharing her passions for entrepreneurship, wellness, and, most importantly, God.
