August 2026: The Beauty & Wellness Issue 🧘♀️✨️
We asked local experts to separate the fact from fiction regarding current health trends such as peptides, high protein diets, beetroot “detox” juices, tai chi walking, vibration plates, and weighted vests.
Also in this issue, we take a restorative trip to 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay on Kauai, speak with CEO of Irvine-based Alpha BioMed Industries Trevor Kruder, and check out UltraRed Light Therapy in Newport Beach. Plus, you’ll find a review of Rocoto Pesca Bar in Huntington Beach, an interview with Urban Decay co-founder Wende Zomnir on her clean beauty brand Caliray, a look at ASMR sanctuary KAS Wellness in Costa Mesa, and a breakdown of INI Ristorante’s miso-glazed black cod.
