Like a machine, our bodies undergo the same wear and tear. And, while many of us send our cars in for regular maintenance, we neglect to tune ourselves up. But what if there was a self-care manual that showed people of all ages and activity levels how to naturally erase pain, increase performance and mobility, and simply live better in their bodies? Written by Studio City based Jill Miller, creator of The Roll Model® Method and a pioneer in fitness, anatomy and movement, "The Roll Model" is a step-by-step guide book to erase pain, improve mobility and live better your body. Featuring countless rolling techniques that address the entire body with ease and efficacy, it is no wonder Miller's first book debuted at number one on Amazon (in the categories of Exercise and Fitness, Healing, Pain Management, and Injury Rehabilitation). The Roll Model® is available for purchase at local bookstores, Costco, and online. Or, visit the website to locate a retailer nearest you.

Juice Cleanse Package
Juice Served Here
8366 W 3rd St
Los Angeles, CA 90048
(323) 944-0409
www.juiceservedhere.com

It seems nowadays that LA is the capital of juice shops. In fact, these juice spots might even be as prolific as coffee houses. And, we've all got at least one friend that will be looking for a way to make up for all the naughtiness that the holidays instigate. Like other juice spots, Juice Served Here offers raw, organic, cold-pressed juice that is sourced locally, but what sets them apart is the fact that they are the only zero waste facility in the game. Their commissary, located in Culver City, recycles and composts 90% of waste derived in the making of their juice. JSH cleanses are available for one to ten days and come in three levels: soft, semi, and hard. They also offer add-on options like raw soup and superfoods. Juice Served Here has four locations throughout Los Angeles. To purchase a cleanse package, visit the website for the location nearest you.
