Product Description

right around the time I began working on
this year’s issue of 5280 Health, my mom was
diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Her annual
mammogram had done its job, and suddenly,
we were sitting in my living room on a bright
winter day, holding hands and realizing that we
now belonged to a club no one wants to join.
Membership has its responsibilities, so I
leaned in and learned: types of breast cancer,
stages and grades of tumors, the links between
chemo cocktails and nasty side effects, the upshot and downsides of radiation. I learned how
it feels to shave my own mother’s head and what
it takes to make small talk in a hospital waiting
room with my dad.
But as it often goes in the midst of difficult
times, I gained some perspective too. I realized
that pursuing health often means simply taking the next step forward. Just like my mom couldn’t
beat cancer in a week, none of us can ski down Winter Park’s Mary Jane mogul runs the first day
we strap on sticks or run a marathon the day after our first jog around Wash Park. Achieving and
maintaining health takes one-day-at-a-time persistence; it’s about choosing the path to wholeness
and walking that path with diligence—and, sometimes, a big gulp of courage.
This issue of 5280 Health offers inspiration and practical tips for each of us who are committed to taking the next steps toward healthier lives: In “Mind Matters” (page 10), we look
into a study that suggests thinking of yourself as fit can actually make you fitter—and then we
give you a few local ideas for boosting your psyche and your physique. We sit down with Ellen
Miller, who—at age 54—became the first American woman to complete the Everest trilogy;
she shares her tips for aging well in “Shooting From The Hips” (page 16). And in our cover
story, “Take It Personally” (page 30), we explore how what doctors are learning about DNA is
changing the ways they treat their patients—and how it might alter the future of medicine.
Some of those cutting-edge treatments saved my mom’s life. Today, she’s cancer-free and
relishing life again as a doting grandma, amateur film critic, and preparer of all my favorite
recipes. And while it’s a bit unconventional to dedicate a magazine to someone, this issue is for
her—and for any of you who are looking at a rocky road
ahead. I hope you’ll grab someone’s hand and take the
first step forward. I’m rooting for you
