Welcome to the May issue of LIVING WELL Magazine , where one of the themes this time around is featuring fiercely talented women in the community and beyond . One of those women is our cover celebrity Julianne Moore . The 56-year-old actress sports an impressive acting resume and has the awards to prove it . One of her most notable roles was her 2015 portrayal of a woman with early onset Alzheimer ’ s in the film , Still Alice , for which she was awarded both a Golden Globe and an Oscar . What you might not know about this stunning actress and author is that she wasn ’ t always the cool and confident woman you see on the big screen . Read more about this accomplished redhead starting on page 6 .
A little closer to home , we stop in with Julie Alvira , M . D ., creator of AJ- Bodysculpt . A health and wellness keynote speaker , writer , and coach , she ’ s also a corporate wellness consultant , and fitness expert . In this issue , Dr . Alvira tackles an important topic on cigar versus cigarette smoking . While many people recognize cigarettes as harmful , as Dr . Alvira notes , cigars don ’ t carry the same stigma as cigarettes . She jumps into the controversy on page 22 and explains why cigars aren ’ t a good alternative for smokers .
Next up , we offer you an exclusive look into the 21 st annual Amelia Island Concours d ’ Elegance , one of the most exclusive automobile shows in the nation . Learn more on page 44 . Of course , we also have the educational content you ’ ve come to expect from LIVING WELL . So , sit back and enjoy . free digital subscription
Best regards ,
