Liz Baker Plosser

After years as editor-in-chief of Women’s Health and now through my modern wellness newsletter, Best Case Scenario, I’ve spent decades thinking about how to make feeling good feel fun. A recent visit to Canyon Ranch Lenox delivered the answer — in tiny moments of joy, sweeping views of the Berkshires, and data that empowers, not overwhelms. At its heart, the resort is a playground designed by and for wellness lovers. With their expertly guided support, I was able to tune in to my body’s natural rhythms through workouts, cold plunges, mindful meals, and more. I came home energized, inspired, and ready to do what I love most: help my community feel a little better today than they did yesterday. Discover my perfect day in Lenox — and I hope it inspires you as you find your own version of well-being.

Morning

Get a Wellness Rush with a Cold Plunge  ⁠Every day should begin with a nervous system reset. A quick, courageous dip flips on those feel-good endorphins, sharpens your mind, and fosters that lit-from-within look.  

⁠Lose Yourself in the Landscape   ⁠Wandering through the resort’s gorgeous Berkshires grounds offers a moment to breathe in the crisp mountain air, while the serene setting centers you, one step at a time. 

⁠Stretch and Snuggle with Puppy Yoga   ⁠Flow through a light, all-levels routine while puppies wander around you — adding joy, laughter, and plenty of cuddle breaks to your practice.

Receive individual insights around the body and bones to inform how to nourish, move, and thrive through every phase of life.

Evening

Create a Wellness Blueprint with Expert Testing  ⁠Comprehensive blood tests, paired with a follow-up physician consultation, deliver clear, personalized guidance that shapes an informed, empowering health strategy. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠Enjoy Anti-Inflammatory Meals That Taste as Good as They Feel ⁠In Lenox, every dish is as satisfying as it is supportive — packed with nutrient-rich, flavor-packed ingredients to help balance, nourish, and restore. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠Discover New Ways to Breathe  ⁠A guided breathwork session releases stress, steadies the nervous system, and leaves the whole body feeling lighter, offering an exhale you didn’t realize you needed.
