This morning, our Thrivera team, alongside Western Home Communities, donated 80 beds to Americans for Independent Living in Waterloo and had the privilege of learning more about the incredible work being done to support local veterans.

Founded 10 years ago by Tim Combs, Americans for Independent Living supports veterans by providing essential resources, creating community connections, and restoring a sense of stability and belonging.

Serving those who have served our country is an honor that Thrivera is truly proud to be a part of! 🤝

February is American Heart Month! ❤️

Taking care of your heart helps you feel better every day and lowers your risk of serious conditions like heart disease and stroke.

American Heart Month is the perfect time to focus on simple habits that support your heart health. Staying active through walking, cycling, swimming, or strength training helps keep your heart strong. Eating heart-healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats further support heart function. Getting adequate sleep and reducing stress are consistent choices that add up over time. The result is a healthier heart and a healthier you! 💪

Think healthy eating costs too much? Katie Burkhardt, Thrivera Wellness Coordinator, helped us bust that myth. Here are simple ways to nourish your body while staying on budget:

🥕 Buy produce in season – It’s usually fresher and far cheaper.
🧊 Choose frozen fruits and veggies – They're just as nutritious, often less expensive, and they last longer.
🛒 Buy in bulk – Especially helpful if you have pantry or freezer space.
💸 Shop sales + use coupons – Check weekly ads and take advantage of store or brand deals.
📝 Plan your meals – One of the biggest money savers. Decide your meals, make a list, and stick to it. Grocery pickup can help avoid impulse buys, and AI tools can make meal planning quick and easy.
🍲 Cook in batches – Make larger meals and freeze portions for busy days.
🥚 Pick budget-friendly staples – Beans, lentils, eggs and similar foods pack lots of nutrients for less money.
♻️ Minimize waste – Turn leftovers into lunches or new meals.

✨ Truth: Nutrient-dense foods keep you fuller longer, so you often eat less overall.
✨ Truth: We can spend a little more up front on healthy food or much more on illness and disease later.

Small changes add up. Your health and your wallet will thank you.

The wigs and laughs were fun—but the message behind it matters most: for individuals experiencing medical hair loss, including those going through cancer treatment, the right wig can help restore a sense of comfort, confidence, and normalcy.
This support is part of Thrivera Renew—salon, spa, and massage therapy services that will renew your spirit and enhance your outer radiance.
If you or someone you love could use support, Salon Iris offers private, complimentary consultations—because feeling like you matters. 🤍
✨ Stay tuned as we share more about the many ways Thrivera supports individuals currently going through cancer treatment—and those in remission.

Happy National Big Wig Day! 🎉💇‍♀️💁‍♀️
Today at Salon Iris, we’re celebrating in the best way we know how—BIG wigs, big laughs, and big heart

But behind the fun is something we care deeply about: wigs can make a powerful difference for people going through cancer treatment. Hair loss is daunting and emotionally devastating. The right wig can help restore a sense of normalcy and comfort. 💛
✨ At Salon Iris, we offer wigs for clients who have insurance coverage for medical hair loss. We also have options available for those whose insurance does not. We’re a proud to partner with Back To You to support clients with quality wig solutions. Learn more here:
If you or someone you love could use support, we’re here to bridge the gap between medicine and beauty. Call us to set up a private, complimentary consultation. We’ll help you feel like you. 🤍
