Hello Thrivers!

Halloween is almost here in East Hanover, NJ, and you can feel it in the air with crisp mornings, glowing pumpkins, and the tempting scent of candy everywhere you go.

That’s why this week’s edition is all about keeping your health and energy steady through the spooky season.

Here are three great reads from across the web to help you move, eat, and feel your best this Halloween.

Mental Wellness Tips for Handling Halloween Stressors

Halloween is supposed to be fun, but let’s be honest, it can also be overwhelming. Crowds, costumes, late nights, and social events can all take a toll on your mental energy. This thoughtful piece we found highlights the importance of managing stress, setting boundaries, and practicing mindfulness during the holiday season.

How To Face the Real Fear

Injuries can be scary, not just because of the physical pain, but because of the quiet self-doubt that follows. In this video, Dr. Natty Bandasak dives into a side of recovery most athletes don’t talk about: the mental battle that happens long after rehab begins. If you’ve ever struggled to trust your body again after an injury, this message is for you. It’s not just about coming back stronger,  it’s about coming back believing you can.

THE* Best Solution For Pain

We recently sat down with Rob Gregg, founder of Stand+, a company redefining recovery footwear. Born from the mission to “stand for those who stand for us,” Stand+ shoes are designed to absorb impact and support the body during recovery, unlike most athletic shoes that push energy back into your joints. In our latest blog, Rob shares how this innovation went from an idea during the pandemic to helping healthcare workers, athletes, and pros like those in the NFL recover better and move pain-free.

As we wrap up October, remember that wellness isn’t about perfection, it’s about consistency.
