August 19, 2026 – Rob and I were delighted to be invited by Katherine Harris, Co-Founder of Sarasota’s Women in Philanthropy (WIP), to attend its Wellness Event, held at a beautiful waterfront home near St. Armands Circle in Sarasota.
The keynote speaker, Dr. Christopher Davis, spoke about women’s heart health and how factors such as chronic stress and hormonal changes can affect cardiovascular health, sometimes contributing to symptoms that may be overlooked or misunderstood. He explained that it is not uncommon for women to experience side effects from coronary microvascular dysfunction or what he described as a heart that seems to become stiffer for pumping. His whole-body approach focuses on identifying and addressing root-causes through personalized nutrition, targeted fitness programs and hormone optimization.
Dr. Victoria Andarcia, who practices with Dr. Davis at the Reveal Vitality & Longevity Institute, offered an important message to the women in attendance: Don’t simply accept the conclusion from your doctor that troublesome symptoms are just a “matter of growing old” and something you have to live with. The Reveal team discussed its functional and personalized approaches designed to help individuals maintain or regain vitality and strength throughout the different stages of life.
Before introducing the Reveal physicians, Katherine gave a wonderful salute to Watt-Ahh, which made the afternoon especially meaningful for Rob and me.
The event was also a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with friends and make new ones. Our Watt-Ahh exhibit was next to Keith Campbell and Karen Odierna of Crop Juice. They poured samples of their handmade, high-quality juice combinations and offered luscious samples of wholesome desserts made from recipes created by Karen herself—with Keith proudly serving as her No. 1 food tester.
