If you’re a fan of polo, you should be rejoicing this season. With our preeminent polo facility now under the venerable ownership of the United States Polo Association, attendance at games is exploding, and the sport is more exciting than ever. Case in point: In late October, the National Polo Center - Wellington hosted the XII FIP World Polo Championship, an electrifying competition among the world’s best polo teams. USA lost in overtime, but the team made history. It was the first time a woman—Hope Arellano—played in the tournament, and the first time the team consisted of two sets of siblings: Hope and her brother Agustín, and Nico and Lucas Escobar. The Escobar brothers, who appear on our cover this month, may be young—Nico is 22, Lucas is 20—but they…

As is tradition, at the turn of the New Year we bring focus back to our goals, ourselves, and our future. I love this yearly ritual of introspection that can bring a feeling of renewal, recommitment, and fresh growth to daily life and to our visions of what we’d like our lives to be. Of course, working so closely with so many in the treatment room, I hear a lot about what we all want—all the many ways we want to look and feel good—year in and year out. At the core, however, I’ve learned that there are two baseline goals that make all the rest possible: peace and clarity. Finding ways to shore up each of these essential pillars is what allows us to expand into everything else. Sci-ence…

TOP BILLING Great MINDS An artistic crossover is unfolding at Lighthouse ArtCenter in Tequesta. Part-time Jupiter Island residents Jason and Nicole Newsted will unveil “Like Mind,” an exhibition of their art, January 19. You may recognize Jason as the six-time Grammy-winning and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bassist of Metallica. In addition to his musical pursuits, Jason has honed his skills as a multimedia artist. His work occasionally pays homage to music, with abstract guitars front and center, while the rest showcases otherworldly subjects bursting with vibrant color and texture. Nicole is also an accomplished painter, whose pieces appear in collections across the globe. In contrast with her husband, Nicole has an eye for the whimsical. She often zeros in on the sweetness in life, capturing candies, stuffed animals,…

You come from a small town in East Texas. How did you get your start in fashion? I started in fashion as a stylist assistant for Deborah Afshani in 2009. I also worked for Edward Enninful and eventually Nicola Formichetti. Your collections span from modernized daywear to red-carpet ready. How do you feel like you’ve evolved as a designer? I’ve seen myself grow immensely, especially in my ability to understand my customer and what she wants. That is what really drives me these days, not so much industry pressure to be a certain kind of designer but the drive to be myself and stay true to my values and the values of the women who have supported me. What was the inspiration behind your Spring 2023 ready-to-wear collection? I’m not…

I became aware of the field prowess and skill of our cover subjects early on at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club. Nico Escobar was a standout on Danny Walker’s 2017 Farmers & Merchants team. Holding a 1-goal handicap at the time, Nico was amazingly accurate with shots on goal from the field. Farmers & Merchants successfully battled Klentner Ranch for the Pacific Coast Open trophy that year in a double-overtime, eight-chukker nail-biter. Then in 2019, Farmers recaptured the trophy with a talented Escobar on the roster. This time, Nico’s brother, Lucas, was the secret weapon. He too demonstrated an uncanny knack for scoring from nearly any angle and from great distance. I look forward to watching the careers of these two brilliant players advance right here on the…

« Each piece has a different level of power on the board, with pawns being the least valuable and queens being the most valuable. The king is invaluable because he can’t be captured, only checkmated. The way to win is by eliminating your opponent’s king. « As the game opens, your general goal is to develop your pieces (move them out from their starting squares and prepare for battle), gain control of the center of the board, and protect the king. « You can’t worry only about your own strategy; you must carefully consider what your opponent does before each move.…

Roughly 96 million Americans are currently considered to be prediabetic, putting them at risk of developing type 2 diabetes or heart disease and experiencing a stroke. The good news is that prediabetes is reversable. And one South Florida–based company has created a product designed to jump-start that process. “Unmanaged prediabetes, without action, could develop into type 2 diabetes within one year,” says Bill Panagiotakopoulos, CEO of Diabetinol. “Unfortunately, insulin resistance is the first step in developing type 2 diabetes. Reversing the process is key. In people with prediabetes, some of the long-term damage to blood vessels, heart, and kidneys may already be starting.” Formulated from a blend of citrus bioflavonoids, essential vitamins, and herbs traditionally used to support healthy blood sugar levels, Diabetinol aids in increasing insulin sensitivity and lowering…

For mother and daughter Regina and Bryana LaTorre, family comes first—and they’re happy to spread the camaraderie of theirs. “Grandma Stella was the matriarch of our New York Italian household,” says Bryana. “She hosted daily lunches filled with savory food. Some of our fondest memories were [made] around the table, sharing stories and enjoying each other’s company over the most delicious homemade dishes.” That’s why, in May 2022, they launched Stellabellas Events, offering tastefully designed picnics for the perfect intimate party in the Palm Beach area as well as Orlando and Davenport. “We create these picnics to keep Grandma Stella’s warm spirit alive, sharing good food and love within an intimate space for your special event,” Regina says.

Wellington is horse country, and horse country needs world-class facilities like Palm Beach Equine Clinic, where Dr. Scott Swerdlin serves as president. Swerdlin is one of the lucky few who knew what he wanted to do from a young age—at just 8, he could already foresee a future as an equine veterinarian. Raised around horses by a polo-playing father, Swerdlin came by his passion organically. He studied at the University of Miami, graduated from veterinary school at Auburn University, and even served with the U.S. Air Force Veterinary Service before returning to Florida and joining forces with Palm Beach Equine Clinic. Aside from providing industry-leading care in equestrian sport, Swerdlin enjoys playing polo and traveling with his wife, Amy, who co-manages the Palm Beach Equine Sports Complex. Intricately woven…

People have been talking about the power of seeds for thousands of years. In fact, Mayan and Aztec warriors used seeds as their sole source of food when traveling long distances. Considering a seed contains the embryo of a future plant, it is no wonder they are packed with nutrients and vitamins. Although small in size, seeds are great sources of protein and fiber, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (the good ones), and omega-3 fatty acids. They can help balance blood sugar, maintain a healthy weight, lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. Just adding 2 tablespoons of seeds to your diet each day can make a huge difference. Blend them into a smoothie or salad dressing, bake them into a bread…

Maybe all it takes to jump-start your day and improve your a.m. attitude is a change in your wake-up routine. Try these expert suggestions to generate maximum energy before facing the day.
