Rolfing for Ranchers
Ben Hanawalt, of Montana’s Boulder River Valley which runs through McLeod, MT, recently completed the 10 sessions of the Rolf Method of Structural Integration for our entire family, Jenny age 50, Mark age 48, Riley age 9 and Kiril age 7. Mark and I realized that this lifestyle, which we love, can only be accomplished with bodies that are in terrific working order. Little things, like very sore knees and backs, hips, shoulders, elbows, and ankles can stop our whole ranching career. So, part of our Sustainability Plan for Sabo Ranch is to keep ourselves healthy and fit!
We eat grassfed meats, probiotic drinks like Kombucha and kefir, fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi (made quickly and easily in Autumn from our own and neighbors’ produce), lacto-fermented whole grain breads, take a full complement of vitamins and minerals (especially vitamin D in winter), and make sure we all sleep well and soundly.
The result has been children that rarely get sick, and good health and smoothly working bodies for Mark and myself. It’s worth it, as without Good Health, the rest of life is difficult at best.
