Relentless RoundUp - 8th Edition

Were you ever a member of a 4-H Club? Chances are high if you grew up in a rural community as I did.
My strong preference was to participate in the 4-H calf club, and that is not a reference to a club that could develop my leg strength, but the one that would develop my skills in raising of livestock and understanding of animal health.

Alas, I was redirected to the homemakers’ club to learn how to cook at the age of 12, and as such am well versed in the art of bread making. Thus, I have resisted the urge to feed a sourdough starter, master ‘no knead’ bread, or board the banana bread bandwagon.
So, if not baking arts, what new positive behaviour changes have you made during your self-isolation time?

Relentless RoundUp - Special Edition

In this special edition of the Relentless RoundUp, I want to share some thoughts about RESILIENCE.

While the pandemic we are surrounded by is unprecedented, I trust that each of you has bounced back from devastating experiences – potentially similar economic loss (recall the crashes of 2000 and 2008?), job loss or possibly even health scares. You bounced back. The markets bounced back. And in the absence of a full bounce back, you have developed strategies to deal with your adjusted reality.

Need further reassurance about your potential to handle the current state?

The Relentless RoundUp - Holiday Edition

I admit, as a country girl, I pine for the days of the Sears Christmas Catalogue arriving in the mailbox. The gleeful anticipation of ‘dog-earing’ pages in the hope that Mom, or Santa’s elves, would take notice.

If Santa could deliver one magical gift to you this year, what would it be?

As many of us sign off for a few days to spend with friends and family, I want to challenge you to think about the seniors in your universe.

The Relentless RoundUp - 5th Edition

From popular media, to health ministry statements through to scientific conferences, we often hear references to the ‘engaged patient.’

Well I would like to emphasize, in addition to the engaged patient, is the potential for the engaged individual. While engaged patients are better able to make informed decisions about their care options, the engaged individual can activate around lifestyle choices that mitigate health risks. 

Engagement is empowering.

The Relentless RoundUp – 4th Edition

Not a fully blown edition, but a riveting one nonetheless.

Our focus is health. On occasion, we also like to indulge, thus we are having a luncheon the day after Thanksgiving before everyone resets their healthy living goals with a cleanse or some intermittent fasting.

At our upcoming Relentless Thanksgiving Salon we will reveal a few stunning facts about our emerging portfolio, and share some hot off the presses highlights from UBC’s summer research.
