Health & Wellness Edition 2025
Readers, welcome to your annual CI Health & Wellness Edition! This brand new guide features the latest updates on health and wellness resources in the North San Antonio area, along with regional, statewide and national trends in achieving a healthier lifestyle. In this edition we break down what readers need to know about the Mayor’s Fitness Council, a community-wide collaborative group advocating for awareness around healthy living through community engagement. For those interested in getting outside while the weather is milder we offer a guide to North San Antonio-area hiking trails. We also offer a listings page of local med spas that have opened recently, as well as a feature on a local business taking a unique spin on healthier living.
