Nature’s Cheer Squad 🌅🐶🌸🦬
Thank you for making our 3rd Annual Week of Wellness such a meaningful success.
From afternoon hikes and mason jar salads in Fargo, Sioux Falls, St. Cloud, and Minnetonka, to powerful keynote sessions with Dan Nevins, Amy Impara Gregory, and our own Heidi Uphaus, last week was all about reconnecting—to ourselves, to each other, and to what well-being really looks like.
We loved seeing your engagement—from the Wellness Passport to hydration challenge check-ins—and watching wellness take shape in real time: over lunch, on a trail, in conversation, or at your desk. You showed up, and it mattered.
Our Week of Wellness Winners included:
Jason Cook - Field Hydration Challenge - $50 Amazon Gift Card
Christine Groetsch + Eric Seng - Passport Challenge Winners - YETI COOLER
THANK YOU for participating in our 3rd ANNUAL - Week of Wellness!

OCTOBER
October is Mental Health Awareness Month
Each October, the U.S. recognizes Mental Health Awareness Month as a time to reduce stigma, increase understanding, and highlight the importance of mental well-being. Mental health affects every aspect of life—our relationships, work, energy, and resilience. This month is a reminder that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. By raising awareness and prioritizing open conversations, we can create supportive communities where everyone feels safe and encouraged to seek help when needed.
🧠 Tip of the Month: The 5-Minute Reset
When stress builds, try a simple 5-minute reset:
Step away from your screen.
Take 5 deep, slow breaths.
Name 3 things you can see, 2 things you can hear, and 1 thing you can feel.
This short practice grounds you in the present, lowers stress, and helps reset your mood—an easy way to protect your mental health during a busy day.
🎉 August's Bingo Movement Challenge Was a Massive Hit!
We loved hearing how last month's challenge helped get you moving every day — your energy and enthusiasm were inspiring!

CEO Doug Albregts introduces Gold Standard Well-being and answers a
question we all should consider: “What does well-being mean to you?”
We recognize how difficult it is to prioritize your well-being when work requires you to be in the car or traveling from place to place. In an effort to support your desire to live well alongside your professional lifestyle, we’ve put together Marco on the Move – a hub for all things wellness on-the-go.
