JUST SAY NO! TO THE GAS-POWERED LEAF BLOWERHoot hoot, don’t pollute, litter gets all the glory. Well, give some cred to noise pollution – even though it’s not visible, it is equally repulsive

and far more offensive. If burning over 300 calories an hour raking leaves isn’t enough to motivate you, then here are four more reasons

to ban the blower:

Pollution – a single leaf blower can emit as much pollution in one year as 80 cars.

Leaf blowers stir up dust, allergens and mold, worsening allergies and asthma and irritating the lungs.

They waste gas. Electric leaf blowers and rakes are more energy-efficient and petroleum- free.

They’re LOUD. Sixty decibels in a residential area is considered acceptable. Leaf blowers emit 70-75 decibels, interfering with sleep, communication, and work, and increasing levels of aggravation.

Going the Distance for Alzheimer’s DiseaseLast June, the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) and the Alzheimer’s Association combined forces in a fundraising effort called The Longest Day. Bridge clubs all over North America ran special games on June 21st – the longest day of the year – to raise money for Alzheimer’s research. More than $575,000 was raised by the clubs and ACBL members who attended the games. Robert Hartman, ACBL’s chief executive, was blown away by the success of the day-long effort (which will be repeated next year,) so much so that he was inspired to do “something big” on his own as a tribute to the success of the fundraiser. He settled on running the Chicago Marathon with the ALZ Stars, a fundraising arm of the Alzheimer’s Association, which has headquarters in the Windy City.

Hartman reached out to the ALZ Stars after The Longest Day fundraiser proved so successful, and raised $1,000 on his own in order to participate with the ALZ Stars in Chicago. A runner since his teens, Hartman ran mostly for recreation until he arrived in the Mid-South. He ran two half marathons this year, and sweated through the summer heat and humidity as he trained for October’s 26.2-miler in Chicago. He has also entered the St. Jude Memphis Marathon, which is scheduled for December 7th.

“I wanted to do something to push myself as members pushed themselves,” said the 42 year-old Hartman, who came to Memphis two years ago from the San Francisco area to run the bridge organization, headquartered in Horn Lake, Mississippi.

In his debut marathon, Hartman started out with a pace group whose goal was to complete the distance in four hours and 40 minutes. After about three miles, he was feeling strong enough to push the pace a bit, so he left the group behind. All was well, he said, until about mile 17, when “things got tough,” and the last three miles tested his will. Fortunately, Hartman said, the spectators were amazingly supportive. “Just when you think you can’t take another step,” he recalled, “there’s a little kid giving you a high five or a band playing. Without them, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.” He completed the race in 4:37.

As tough as the marathon was, Hartman noted, it was nothing compared to what the families of people with Alzheimer’s endure. “That was four and a half hours of my life,” he said. “They have to deal with Alzheimer’s 24 hours a day.”

For more information on The Longest Day, visit the American Contract Bridge League at www.acbl.org, or the Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz.org.

Robert Hartman ran the 2013 Chicago Marathon with the ALZ Stars.

Actress Sally Field to Speak at 12th Annual Methodist Healthcare Foundation Cancer Center LuncheonTwo-time Academy Award-winning, two-time Emmy-winning, and two-time Golden Globe-winning actress Sally Field will speak candidly about her life and art, and how she balances the demands of family and career during the 12th annual Methodist Healthcare Foundation Cancer Center Luncheon on Friday, Nov. 22 at 11:45 a.m. at The Peabody Hotel.

A celebrated actress, director, and producer, Sally Field has been one of the most versatile and durable talents in Hollywood for more than 50 years. During her talk she will describe how she gradually won control over her artistic career in an industry notorious for denying such control, beginning with her breakthrough performance in the landmark miniseries Sibyl in 1976 (in which her stunning, nuanced portrayal of a woman with multiple personalities shattered Hollywood’s conception of her as capable only of lighthearted comic roles,) and continuing with her brilliant Oscar-winning performance in Norma Rae and Places in the Heart, which cemented her status as one of the world’s greatest actresses.

Field will also discuss her Emmy-winning roles as Dr. Abby Lockhart’s bipolar mother on ER, her acclaimed Broadway performance in Edward Albee’s Who is Sylvia, and her 2013 Oscar nominated role as Mary Todd Lincoln in Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln.

An independent woman of fierce determination and dazzling talents, Sally Field is an inspiration to audiences everywhere. Proceeds from this year’s luncheon will benefit The West Cancer Center, providing cancer care in collaboration with Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare and The University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

Individual tickets start at $125 and a table of 10 starts at $1,250. Tickets are available for general, preferred, and prime seating. To reserve your seat, call 901.516.0500 or purchase tickets online at www.methodisthealth.org/cancerluncheon.

Public Fundraising Campaign Launched to Complete Build of Hampline Memphis is on the cusp of building the most innovative bicycle infrastructure in the United States. Recognizing the growing interest for bicycling in the city, a public fundraising campaign has been launched to close the gap in funding required to provide a safe route for bicycle riders to use between Overton Park and Shelby Farms Greenline. The goal of the campaign is to raise $75,000 from the public. The remaining funds required to begin the build (approximately $175,000) will be raised via private contributions and foundations. The public campaign will utilize ioby, a crowd-resourcing platform for citizen-led neighborhood projects.

Coupled with the launch of the fundraising campaign is the announcement of the permanent name for the connector: “The Hampline,” located in the heart of Binghampton. The name was chosen to honor

the nickname longer-term residents of the Binghampton community use when referencing their neighborhood. Once completed, The Hampline will be the most innovative bicycle infrastructure project to occur within the United States. New York City has a few similar cycle tracks, as does Montreal and Vancouver, B.C., but The Hampline will be the gold standard for other cities to follow.

Designed to be a cycle track designed for all levels of bicyclists, The Hampline will showcase best practices with regards to protected cycle tracks, considered best-in-class design for green lanes (protected bicycle lanes.) This design provides greater safety for bike riders because it is separated from automobile traffic by a physical barrier. The project incorporates leading standards for on-road cycle track design, signalization,

and storm water engineering. In addition to showcasing engineering innovation with the street design, the Hampline will feature two miles of public art murals and sculptures, an amphitheater, and numerous art galleries.

For more information, visit www.facebook.com/broadavearts or www.facebook.com/livablememphis. To make a donation, visit www.ioby.org/project/hampline.

Thrive365 with Type 2 DiabetesThrive365 is a smartphone app designed from the ground up to help people with non-insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetes (or pre-diabetes) make better food choices. The app provides immediate access to straightforward food scores that make it simple to plan out food choices for the day or make better nutrition decisions on the fly.

The Thrive365 program covers prepared foods, grocery store ingredients, and restaurant menu items for a comprehensive approach to food choices. Each item is assigned a food score, which is easy to find with the smartphone app. If it’s a prepared food, simply scan the bar code with your phone. If you’re preparing a meal from scratch, enter individual ingredients to add up the score, and then save it on your list of recipes for easy access in the future. The Thrive365 app can also pull up the menus of most major restaurants, complete with food scores, so you can make smart choices in advance or at the table.

The first step to using Thrive365 is to answer a handful of basic health questions. The answers determine your personal target score. This target score is then divided into breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. Since people with diabetes need to avoid under-eating as well as overeating, the system does not rely on “points” that can be saved up and spent later. Instead, participants should get as close to the target score for each meal as possible, without going under or over.

In addition to food scoring, the Thrive365 app also enables participants to record their food choices on their phone and upload blood glucose readings from their glucometers. This information can then provide health care professionals and their patients with a more complete and accurate record of how specific food choices affected blood glucose on a daily or even hourly basis. The smartphone app is currently available on iOS smartphones and tablets, including iOS7, and can also be accessed through the web at thrive365.com.

MOG opens fifth locationMemphis Orthopaedic Group is now accepting patients at their office in East Memphis. The new office, located at 4515 Poplar Avenue, Suite 206, will serve as the group’s fifth Memphis area location. All of the board certified physicians at Memphis Orthopaedic Group practice at each location, allowing patients to see their preferred physician, regardless of which office they visit. Patients can now choose from the practice’s East, North, Central, Germantown, and Riverdale locations.

“We pride ourselves on having convenient locations within 10 minutes of wherever you are,” said Dan Hein, CEO of Memphis Orthopaedic Group. “The new East office is located in the center of our other four practices, creating a nearby access point for patients who are not particularly close to another office. You shouldn’t have to travel to receive quality orthopaedic care, and injuries are stressful enough without adding a required commute to see your preferred physician. We hope to take traveling out of the equation,” he adds. Patients can call the appointment line at (901) 381-4MOG or visit www.memphisorthogroup.com to specify their preferred location.

Many patients in Memphis realize that snoring affects their ability to get a quality night’s sleep, but most don’t know it could signal health issues that cause depression, impotence, and memory loss. While snoring can simply be a sign that the airway is partially blocked, loud and frequent snoring can indicate the presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA,) a condition faced by more than 12 to 18 million U.S. adults. OSA causes breathing to suddenly stop during sleep for anywhere from 10 seconds up to more than a minute, in some cases. For those with OSA, these breathing incidents can happen hundreds of times a night, so it’s an issue that should be addressed as soon as possible.

Numerous studies have shown that, if left untreated, OSA is a potentially life-threatening condition that can increase the risk for serious health problems – from congestive heart failure, stroke, high blood pressure, and heart disease to diabetes, obesity, depression, and impotence. Fortunately, there are many treatment options available for those suffering from snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. If your snoring can wake sleepers down the hall, or if you suspect it is impacting your overall health, taking these steps can help treat the issue:

Loud and frequent snoring is not just a nighttime annoyance; it is often a red flag for larger health issues. Understanding the impacts of snoring on health, and the treatment options available, helps snorers make smarter, healthier lifestyle choices that are sure to positively impact them and their families for the long term.

SEE A SLEEP PHYSICIAN AND GET A SLEEP TEST. This will determine if your snoring is indicative of a more severe issue, such as OSA, and will help you plot your treatment course. For a listing of sleep centers in the Memphis area, go to www.sleepeducation.com/find-a-center.

CONSIDER A RANGE OF TREATMENTS. CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, is the recommended treatment for sleep apnea. CPAP includes a face mask that must be worn during sleep, as well as tubing and a constantly running motor. Patients who cannot tolerate CPAP or choose not to use the treatment should consider oral appliance therapy. Provided by select dentists, oral appliance therapy uses a custom-fit “mouth guard-like” device to either hold the tongue in place or support the jaw in a forward position to keep the patient’s airway open and provide a more refreshing sleep.

STICK TO YOUR TREATMENT PLAN. Symptoms – and lifestyles – can improve dramatically for patients who remain committed to their treatment and abide by it nightly.

LIVING AND LEARNING WITH DIABETES Interview and photo by Katie Honeycutt.

Amy Hudson, 44, is an animal lover and exercise enthusiast. She has also had Type I diabetes since she was 12. Her grandmother suspected something was wrong when Amy began losing weight and complaining of constant thirst. A visit to the doctor showed that her blood sugar levels were extremely high and she was immediately admitted to the hospital, spending a week there in order to get the disease under control and learn how to give herself muscle shots. It seemed like a strange fluke, as the doctors weren’t able to pinpoint an exact cause; however, some believed that an earlier bout of strep throat strep might have caused her pancreas to fail.

LIVING WITH DIABETES: Amy compares Type I diabetes to having a second job. It’s a constant balance between testing blood sugar, adjusting insulin, eating the correct amount of carbs, and exercising – you don’t ever get a break. She has to check her blood sugar levels up to 10 times a day, including first thing in the morning, before and after meals, as well as before and after exercise. If her levels are too low she must eat a light snack; if they are too high, she must take insulin. She injects between eight to 10 shots a day, including one before every meal.

EXERCISE REGIMEN: Exercise is a great way to control diabetes. Amy enjoys the group fitness classes at Germantown Athletic Club, and finds the gym a great place to be social while staying fit. She attends a variety of classes, including Cycling, Total Body Sculpt, Raise the Bar, TurboKick, and Ab Lab.

MEALS: At age 12, Amy had to stop eating sweets and begin adhering to a strict diet. Now she must vigilantly monitor her carb intake. In general, she eats lean proteins and low-carb vegetables, including fresh salads, grilled chicken, and fish. Her diet has become a way of life, although she occasionally splurges on her favorite treat (ice cream.) However, she remains watchful of her blood sugar level.

FOR FUN: Amy enjoys volunteering at Germantown Animal Shelter, where she walks the dogs, and is happy helping others in need. She encourages pet adoption and recently adopted a five month-old puppy herself, Griffin. She also enjoys spending time with her family and running 5Ks with a cause. She doesn’t label herself a runner, but she’s found getting the benefit of being healthy and helping causes, as well as being able to run three miles, to be an amazing fitness accomplishment!

MOTTO: “Be nice to everyone and know your smile can brighten someone’s day. Be compassionate and help others.”

MORE ABOUT AMY: Amy is a native Memphian. She graduated from Germantown High School and University of Memphis, where she received a degree in Hospitality Management and Food Services. She is currently employed as a Client Service Associate at Diversified Trust.

LOOKING AHEAD: Amy simply wants to continue living as she does now, and plans to stay active and healthy. She would also like to be a volunteer counselor for others who are managing their diabetes.

GROWING STRONG WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES“Ready … set … GO!” is not the only thing on triathlete Aaron Jaffe’s mind before starting a race. He’s also thinking about his blood sugar numbers and when he’ll need to shoot up again – insulin, that is.

Jaffe, 35, wears a lot of titles. He’s a triathlete; a husband to wife, Devon; a father to daughter, Ellis, and son, Owen; and an advocate for millions of individuals with Type 1 Diabetes.

A couple of weeks shy of Jaffe’s third birthday, he and his mother were awaiting a medical diagnosis, instead of planning a birthday party. Just as he turned a year older, so came a new lifestyle and his mother, Lisa Jaffe, began giving him insulin injections.

Type 1 Diabetes occurs when the body does not produce insulin, which converts food into energy for daily activities. Not getting enough – or any at all – is life-threatening. Type 1 Diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults; however, some adults develop Type 1 Diabetes, too.

“I’ve had this all of my life,” said Jaffe. “I don’t know anything different.”

After being diagnosed, Jaffe’s mom, Lisa, who passed away in 2007, stepped into action. He was the only child. And he had her attention. “She was focused on my life,” he said. “When I was younger, every school year, my classroom had an emergency food bag. My mom was Supermom. She did everything. It wasn’t until I turned eight that I did my own injections.”

From a toddler to a high school athlete, Jaffe managed his diabetes and was free from any complications. However, without a plan to manage diabetes, complications from the disease can impair an individual’s quality of life and result in death. But by adopting a healthy lifestyle and changing old habits, an individual can live a long, healthy life.

“There are no off-days from this,” said Jaffe. “In high school before practices, I would check my blood sugar. While it [Type 1 Diabetes] is a game changer, it’s not the end of the world.”

Without letting diabetes slow him down while growing up, Jaffe now challenges his body with endurance races, including triathlons,

ultra-marathons and 100-mile bike rides. Jaffe doesn’t run alone though. He and his friend Greg Jarrett, who coincidentally is also a Type 1 Diabetic, train and compete together. As Jaffe explains, he and Jarrett wear “Type 1 Diabetes on their sleeves” and compliment each other as training partners. “We do what others do; we just have to do it more responsibly,” Jaffe said. “I always wear my insulin pump, carry water with powder, and wear a monitor that measures my blood sugar numbers. It’s a balancing act, but I also know my body and how I feel.”

If challenging himself physically wasn’t enough, Jaffe goes the extra mile for others in a different setting. Jaffe is a mentor, speaker, and chairperson for several non-profit organizations, including Insulin Dependence, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and the American Diabetes Association. “Diabetes is a lifestyle, but it doesn’t define me,” said Jaffe.

As Jaffe continues to challenge his body and stay healthy, he encourages others to be active and stay away from the negative concepts that at times define Type 1 Diabetes.

Whether the next step for Jaffe is one towards running many miles or meeting a young person recently diagnosed, he has the satisfaction of being part of the diabetic community and helping others like him to persevere.

CYCLOCROSS: Mud, Sweat, and TearsCyclocross is a winter sport where bike race meets obstacle course, featuring demanding off-road terrain that requires riders to dismount and run while carrying their bikes over barricades. The Outdoors, Inc. Cyclocross Championship is not only the longest-running Cyclocross race in the U.S., but one of the most prestigious, drawing top racers from across the nation. The course itself veers along the Mississippi River Bicycle Trail, and includes an A, B, and Children’s race. Prizes up to $650 in cash and merchandise will be awarded, and Outdoors, Inc. has pledged to leave the park cleaner than they found it.

To keep its esteemed status, the Outdoors, Inc. Cyclocross Championship must remain fresh and challenging each year, a task taken on by experienced Cyclocross rider and race designer Joel Glasgow.

Joel spoke with H+F’s Laura Gray Teekell about the challenges of keeping the course tough and new every year, part of what makes the Outdoors, Inc. Cyclocross Championship fun to compete in, as well as watch. He explained that although it’s a short race, it requires a lot of effort, and can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. “It involves racing hard, doing laps, so you are somewhat aware of where people – fellow competitors and spectators – are. It usually takes place on grass, so it’s challenging in bike control, power, and speed. It’s also not too hard to get into – kind of like a 5K. You can get out there and do it just to be there and have fun. There are also people out there racing competitively, so it can be as difficult as you want to make it.”

Joel also participates in other local races, including CycloCrunk, presented by Victory Bicycle Studio. “It’s a short lap, and enough variation so there are hills and sidewalk for speed,” he says. Additionally, he can be found riding in Overton Park, over the mounds near the National Ornamental Metal Museum, and Glenview Park off of McLean. “Anywhere close,” he says. “It’s something that I really enjoy.”

In his 10 years working for Outdoors, Inc., Joel has worked his way up through the ranks – from helping to set up the course to actually designing it. Describing this transition, Joel remarked that he initially learned a lot about course design from Joe Royer, race director and co-founder of Outdoors, Inc. He also draws from his own experience, taking into account what type of course he would want to ride, what would be both difficult and fun, but also ensure the safety of the riders and spectators.

“It’s always a challenge to figure out designing the race and keeping it fresh,” Joel says. “Cyclocross legend Paul Curley came down and made some suggestions, so it was great to get outside feedback. In addition to that, it involves going out, riding the course in different ways, looking at it from different angles to make it so riders want to come out. Cyclocross is super spectator-friendly, and this particular race is fun for the participants and spectators because it’s right on the river and the whole thing flows together.”

When asked what to expect from the course this year, Joel said he is “putting the final touches and riding the course and trying to think of new ways to design the course up and down the levy. We actually do use the stairs that go up the walkway to the parking lot, and we always find some logs to pull out onto the course. We have river logs and man-made barriers. A lot is the same, but then again, there are lots of new twists!”

The 27th Annual Outdoors, Inc. Cyclocross Championship is the longest-running

Cyclocross bicycle race in America.

It will be held Sunday, November 10, starting at 9 a.m. at Green Belt Park on

Mud Island. For more information, visit www.outdoorsinc.com.

F I T P R O F I L E

There is something mesmerizing about watching two highly-trained, dedicated athletes beat the crap out of each other in the Octagon. This is Mixed Martial Arts, a combination of wrestling, boxing, Muay Thai, and Ju-Jitsu. While some local fans associate MMA with the UFC and shows like “The Ultimate Fighter,” they might not realize that Memphis hosts MMA matches akin to those featured in Las Vegas.

Intensity. The sport of Mixed Martial Arts attracts fans for many different reasons, but ask any one of them and they will all agree – watching MMA is an intense experience. Whether it is the anticipation before the first strike or the thrill of watching a tap-out or knock-out, MMA is brimming with passion. It should come as no surprise, then, that a successful MMA athlete such as Rick McCracken would be an intense individual; both in the ring and out. He is focused and passionate about the sport he has dedicated himself to since the age of five – so dedicated that he co-founded a local Memphis MMA league, V3Fights, with his partner Nick Harmeier, which holds monthly events at Minglewood Hall. “What we’ve done is give everyone in the area an amazing event,” Rick says, and if the latest experience on September 28th is any indication, they are doing just that.

Having retired from fighting himself, MMA isn’t all Rick is aiming for these days. Although the sport has helped him burn off a lot of extra energy, it’s no longer his sole focus. While earning his degree in hotel and restaurant management, Rick developed an intense love of food. “Cooking is my passion,” he confesses, and as a result, he founded Ultimate Foods, which provides pre-packaged, healthy foods cooked twice-weekly to its customers. Given the intensity he brings to everything he does, Ultimate Foods should be as big a knock-out as any found on the MMA mat.

RUN FOR RECOVERY C OAC H ’ S C O R N E R

By Marcia Scott

Marcia Scott is the Training Program Coordinator at Fleet Feet Sports. For more information, call

901.761.0078 or visit fleetfeetmemphis.com.

The basic principle of running success is stress followed by recovery. It’s important to get in the miles, but it’s equally important to adequately recover. Your body is put under stress during runs and workouts, and it requires time to reap the benefits of those efforts. It’s during this recovery period that muscles rebuild and your body becomes stronger. Without proper recovery, you may become sluggish, worn-out, and more susceptible to injury.

RECOVERY RUNSThe day after a long and/or hard workout or race should be a very easy running day for you – keep your pace slow and your heart rate down. If you feel you’re not working hard enough on these days, remember that some of the world’s best marathoners do recovery runs at a pace of 10- or even 11-minute miles. (McMillanRunning.com is a great resource for determining what your recovery run pace should be.)

RECOVERY WEEKS AND TAPERINGWhen training for a specific event such as a marathon or half marathon, every third week should be a recovery week during which you back down on mileage and intensity. After several weeks of hard training and mileage-building, this recovery week allows your body to regain momentum before continuing intense training. Likewise, the weeks leading up to an event should be a tapering period. Depending on the length of the event, the taper can last two to three weeks. During this time, you should back down on your mileage in order for your body to fully realize the benefits of the training you’ve put in, giving you fresh legs for the race.

ICINGImmediately after intense training, cold should be applied to any place on your body that feels sore. Rolling a frozen water bottle over or applying a bag of frozen peas to areas such as calves or shins is great for relieving any post-run discomfort and keeping inflammation to a minimum. When necessary, sitting in a post-run ice bath for 15 to 20 minutes can be a runner’s best friend, making a significant difference in your recovery period.

REFUELINGIt’s also crucial to refuel post-run in order for your body to properly recover, so be sure to consume a mix of proteins and carbs within 45 minutes of finishing a hard workout. A turkey sandwich on wheat, a smoothie with yogurt, an English muffin with peanut butter, or even chocolate milk are all good options for recovery foods. There are also a number of products available, such as Hammer Recoverite, which have the right nutritional balance to aid in your recovery.

STATIC STRETCHING Holding stretches for a period of time after your run is much more beneficial than doing so beforehand. Think of your muscles like pieces of gum – gum isn’t very elastic when you first begin to chew it, but after a few minutes it becomes much softer and more pliable. This is similar to how your muscles function pre- and post-run.

KEEPING THESE RECOVERY RECOMMENDATIONS IN MIND IS SURE TO HELP YOU GET THE MOST OUT OF EVERY RUN!

Your recovery needs…covered! Your recovery needs…covered!

It’s officially a fitness craze, and for good reason – it’s super-effective. Unlike old-school free weights where you are limited to the muscle group you are working, TRX improves flexibility, balance, and core stability with every move. The TRX Suspension Trainer was developed by former U.S. Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick as he and his fellow SEALS searched for ways to stay in peak physical condition with limited access to training equipment and space. This total body workout offers hundred of exercise options with an added bonus – you can do it almost anywhere. Simply anchor to a door, beam, railing, fence or even a tree. Becca Marino, owner of Fitness INSPIRATION! INC. stresses the importance of having an

expert to show you proper technique, however. “If you are weak in some areas or do not know the proper technique there is definitely a possibility of injury.”

Marino, along with certified personal trainer Jacob Schultz, specializes in small-group TRX personal training and TRX/TABATA 10-day group challenges. Here, they share some of their favorite moves.

The next 10-Day TRX/TABATA Fit Challenge is scheduled for November 13th-22nd; cost of classes start at $99. For more information on Fitness INSPIRATION! call 901.825.4883, or visit www.BelieveItBringItAchieveIt.com.

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Memphis! By Kerrieann Axt

The distinct smell and sweet flavor of pumpkin makes me immediately think of holidays, frosted mornings, long nights, and people standing in line at Starbucks to get their chilled hands around a warm Pumpkin Spice Latte. If you too are a lover of all things pumpkin, there are many healthy ways to include it in your diet! Who can resist?

Bright and beautiful, the pumpkin is also a highly nutritious source of vitamin A, which can boost your immune system and keep your eyes, bones, and teeth healthy, while the antioxidant carotenoids it contains, particularly alpha and beta-carotenes, are very potent phytonutrients. Foods rich in carotenoids have been linked to an array of health-promoting and disease-fighting activities, including helping decrease the risk of various cancers. A recent study even showed that women with a high concentration of carotenes in their diets had a substantially decreased risk of breast cancer.

The word “carotenoid” – derived from “carrot” – comes from the yellow-orange color these nutrients grant. You may have guessed that sweet potatoes and carrots contain high amounts of beta-carotene, but it is the “Great Pumpkin” that contains one of the richest supplies of carotenoids known.

Pumpkin is also a good source of vitamins C, K, and E, not to mention important minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and iron. Plus, pumpkin is easy on the waistline, as a cup of pumpkin puree contains only 30 calories, while providing your body with over seven grams of fiber.

Since it’s the season, be on the lookout for “sugar pumpkins” at the grocery store. Usually weighing just a few pounds, sugar pumpkins (or pie pumpkins) are sweeter than traditional carving pumpkins, and have firmer and less stringy flesh. It’s super-easy to roast this type of pumpkin: just cut off the top with a sharp knife, scoop out the seeds (save them for roasting as well,) and brush the inside with

a tiny amount of olive or coconut oil. Place face down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Make sure you can pierce the skin easily with a fork, scoop out the soft flesh, and then puree until smooth in a blender or food processor.

If you’re looking for an even easier route, just buy canned pumpkin (but be careful not to buy pumpkin pie filling, which is loaded with sugar.) It can be added to soups, stews, or chili without changing the flavor much, but you’ll reap all of the nutritional benefits. You can also use pumpkin puree to replace some of the oil in your favorite bread and muffin recipes, and you won’t believe how moist it can make these baked treats! Try adding a spoonful of pumpkin puree to a bowl of oatmeal, or to a carton of yogurt, pasta sauce, or homemade hummus. The options are endless, and absolutely mouthwatering. It’s finally pumpkin season, and there are countless delicious reasons to be thankful!

FAMILY: Married to P.J. Koltnow, and mom to boys ages seven and four.

FIT CLUB: Memphis Runners Track Club

RECENT WW EVENTS: Germantown Half Marathon with a personal record of 1:44:02; St. Jude Half Marathon; Memphis Runners Road Race Series.

FAVORITE FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENT: Following the birth of my second son, my fitness routine got pretty spotty. I had an opportunity to run as a charity runner in the 2011 Boston Marathon, and jumped at the chance! Not only did I raise $9,500 for the Massachusetts Mentoring Partnership, I went from saying, “Yeah, I run,” to “I am a runner.”

I ❤ RUNNING BECAUSE: Running is as practical for me as it is spiritual. I maintain a pretty demanding schedule with work, family time, and community activities, so my golf and tennis games haven’t gotten much attention in over a decade! However, I can run anywhere and almost any time, without need for much equipment or a partner. In the meantime, running helps me think, prepare, focus and relax. As a distance runner, I don’t focus on winning; I always strive to improve upon my last race. Seems to be a great metaphor for life.

OBSTACLE COURSE: Fortunately, no. However, when faced with back, hip, and knee pain about a year ago, I went to see Mark Temme at OrthoMemphis per a fellow runner’s recommendation. Mark was a miracle worker. I never ran better than I did following his expert guidance and physical therapy.

NEXT WW CHALLENGE: St. Jude Half Marathon, December 7th.

BEST EATS: So. Many. Favorite. Restaurants! I am certain the Thai Cobb at Beauty Shop is the best salad on the planet.

WW MUST-HAVES: Adidas SuperNovas. I think I’m on my 20th pair.

BUCKET LIST: One day I’ll do a triathlon. And I’d love to do the Two Oceans Marathon in South Africa. Better start training soon …

IF YOU COULD HAVE DINNER WITH ANYONE FAMOUS YOU WOULD CHOOSE: Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon. Seriously. How fun would that be?!?

SUPERPOWER: I’d like to be able to warp from one place to another. If I want to get to the beach – BAM! I’m there. If I leave work at 5:30 p.m. – BAM! I’m home at 5:31. That would be so useful.

VICE: Those obnoxious tins of caramel and cheese popcorn that turn up around the holidays. Must. Stay. Away.

W E E K E N D WA R R I O R S

Jeremy L. Jessop AGE: 39

OCCUPATION: Chiropractic Physician at Active Health Chiropractic; specializing in Active Release Techniques to address the aches and pains that come with an active lifestyle.

SPORT: Cycling (mountain and road,) running, and triathlons.

FAMILY: One beautiful wife Angela, and four awesome children: Myles (my tandem stoker on club rides,) Samantha, Evelyn, and Caroline. They all love to ride bikes and run with me so a good portion of my rides are on a tandem, with a trail-a-bike, or pulling a trailer, and I run quite often with the jogging stroller.

FIT CLUB: Memphis Hightailers, but I like to crash parties by joining in on the many different club/team rides that I run into while I am out cycling.

RECENT WW EVENTS: The Ironman 70.3 in St. George, Utah; the Memphis in May Olympic Triathlon; the Dragonfly Triathlon in Sardis Lake, Mississippi; the St. George Marathon in St. George, Utah; and the Snow Canyon Half Marathon in St. George, Utah.

FAVORITE FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENT: I earned a belt buckle at the Leadville Trail 100 MTB in Colorado. It was definitely the hardest but most rewarding event so far. I am excited because my wife finally gave me the okay to try to get in it again.

I ❤ CYCLING: Cycling was my first love ever since I threw a leg over my first Schwinn. My bicycles have taken me on so many memorable adventures. Cycling, running, and swimming makes me a better husband, father, chiropractor, and overall just a better person and less grumpy.

OBSTACLE COURSE: My only obstacle is finding time to train for longer events while still trying to balance family, work, and church.

UPCOMING WW CHALLENGE: Right now I am trying to complete three marathons in three months to join the Marathon Maniacs Club. So I am planning on competing in the Black and Blue Trail Marathon and the St. Jude Marathon. I also have my sights set on Ironman Florida next year.

BEST EATS: Las Tortugas is probably my favorite, but that seems to be everyone’s favorite. I love their Red Snapper Tortuga and the corn on the cob. My favorite dining experience, though, is taking my five year-old daughter out for our “sushi dates.”

WW MUST-HAVES: I love my Saucony Kinvaras for running. Out of my stable of bicycles I ride my Cervelo R3 the most. I am also a “Campy Guy.” There is something special about Italian components.

BUCKET LIST: My wife and I have plans to travel Europe on a bicycle, especially through Italy and France. We just have to rear some kids first. It would be icing on the cake to be able to catch the Tour De France at the same time.

IF YOU COULD HAVE DINNER WITH ANYONE FAMOUS YOU WOULD CHOOSE: Tough question. I am going to say Garrison Keillor purely for entertainment. I love his stories and I could use a few good laughs.

SUPERPOWER: To be able to stop time. Then I could sneak in a good ride or run whenever I want.

INDULGENCE: My wife’s homemade German chocolate cake. Once I start I cannot stop.

QUOTE: “Life is like riding a bicycle: you don’t fall off unless you stop pedaling.” – Claude Pepper

Gourmet on-the-Go By Christian Parsons

Native Memphian Jennifer McCullough is an active single mom who knows the value of time. In between her son’s activities, running and cycling, and working with her trainer Robert Nash, she wanted to entertain tastefully but found that she didn’t have many opportunities to create the delicious but time-consuming dishes which she enjoyed for her guests. A seed was planted – provide busy people with gourmet dishes that just happen to be extremely convenient.

Jennifer is a Southern food enthusiast who came by her devotion naturally. Boasting family from the Delta to the Big Easy, she cut her teeth on some of the most exciting flavors in America. While attending the University of Texas at Austin, she was inspired by the local food scene and began attending culinary classes on weekends. After finishing culinary school she traveled the globe, eventually returning to her Memphis roots, where she recognized a desire for high-quality food that was easy to prepare. Chef Jenn was born.

With her mission to bring gourmet fare to busy families’ tables established, Jennifer started a small supper club in

early 2010. From its humble beginnings in her home kitchen, the Chef Jenn brand grew to include dips, spreads, and sauces created using fresh ingredients and classic techniques, all of which are available in grocery stores (including Kroger,) farmers’ markets, and delis throughout the Mid-South.

Chef Jenn features several products, including a trio of seafood dips labeled, “Dip, Crackers, Bottle of Wine, Done,” which includes “Buffalo Style” Shrimp Dip, Southwestern Crab Dip with Cornbread Crunch, and Herbed Crawfish Dip. Jennifer expects her fourth creation, Crab Florentine Artichoke Dip, to be available around the holiday season. In addition to dips, a number of Chef Jenn side dishes are available, each of which combines quality seafood with fresh vegetables and

herbs to create flavorful, delicious appetizers and meals for any occasion.

One of Jennifer’s favorite easy, healthy recipes is chicken and barley stew. Full of nutrients, this simple dish is great for cool fall afternoons and can feed up to 10. Try it out – you won’t be disappointed!

CHICKPEAS: great taste, more filling By Robin Beaudoin

Here in America we call them chickpeas. In Spain and Belgium, where they’re known as Garbanzo beans, they are revered and widely used in many dishes. These pea-shaped beige beauties, with their mild, slightly soft and nutty texture, are also popular in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian cooking. They’re not only delicious, though – they’re nutritious! They pack a serious 15 grams of protein per serving, and provide almost 75% of your daily value of folate, while their 12 grams of dietary fiber add bulk to your diet and leave you feeling full for hours, making them a substantial substitute for meat.

You’re probably most familiar with the chickpeas’ role as the foundation for hummus, a garlicky Greek bean dip served with pita; a favorite version of mine can be found on the vegetarian menu at an Indian restaurant in East Memphis, where they mix the chickpeas with spinach and Indian spices – yum! For Fall, however, something a little simpler, perhaps even “poppable,” fills the bill. This treat is reminiscent of soy nuts, only tastier and even more nutritious! With warm spices and a light crispness, roasted chickpeas are sure to become a new favorite and healthy snack, as well as a lower-fat alternative to traditional mixed nuts while watching the Big Game.

OVEN-FRIED CHICKPEAS Ingredients:q 1 15 oz. can of chickpeas /Garbanzo beans, rinsed and

drained

q 2 tsps. canola oil

q 1/2 tsp. cumin

q 1/2 tsp. salt

q 1/2 tsp. black pepper

q 1/2 tsp. curry powder

q 1 tsp. chili powder

q A dash of cinnamon (optional – this adds more of a holiday flavor)

Directions:Preheat the oven to 400º.

Drain and rinse the chickpeas with water in order to remove excess salt.

On a kitchen towel or two layers of paper towels, pat the chickpeas completely dry.

Mix the spices, salt, and canola oil together in a medium-sized bowl, and toss the chickpeas in the seasoning.

Spread the chickpeas evenly on a baking sheet.

Bake the chickpeas for 45 to 50 minutes (or to your preferred level of crispness,) stirring the pan halfway through to insure they cook evenly.

Enjoy!
