A REASON TO RISE & SHINE
For a heady dose of positivity , we catch up with morning talk show host Kelly Ripa in this issue . The petite dynamo is an energizing blend of morning glory that millions of people rise and shine to .
Ripa has been entertaining audiences for two decades on various iterations of the Live ! morning program . From Live with Regis & Kelly , to Live with Kelly & Michael , and now Live with Kelly & Ryan , Ripa ’ s on-air persona is as fun and fresh as the first day she sidled up to the show ’ s original host , Regis Philbin .
Find out what makes Ripa sparkle and how she keeps it fresh with her long-time hubby Mark Consuelos on page 8 . We ’ re not surprised how candid Ripa gets when sharing details of her life . After all , being relatable and sharing personal anecdotes are part of her charm .
Switching gears to something more serious , we discuss sleep apnea on page 48 . Roughly 20 million people suffer from this ailment and have difficulty breathing while sleeping . Left untreated , it can lead to serious health conditions . Read about the causes , effects , and treatments to get the inside track on how to tackle this problem .
For something on the lighter side , turn to page 30 for suggestions on fun hiking adventures to tackle with your kids or grandkids . Far from strenuous , these novel suggestions offer learning opportunities for kids and adults alike .
Here ’ s hoping you get to it .
Be well !
