BCAN to premiere new health and wellness show
The host of a new show on Buckeye Community Arts Network wants Toledo to start thinking about the idea of wellness in all aspects of life. “When people think wellness, they’re like, ‘Oh, like yoga ... sitting around, meditating, thinking about the goodness that is life,’ which is amazing and is totally what the show is about, but we also went to look at all-encompassing wellness and really ask the burning question of ‘How is our community actively, living, breathing, and being well and how are they promoting wellness for others?’” said Toi Creel, a producer and host for BCAN. Ms. Creel and the network are looking to answer that question in its newest TV show, Be Well, which will see her discuss wellness in a holistic sense with each episode — topics like environmental wellness, mental wellness, physical wellness, financial wellness, and community wellness. The show’s first episode, airs Sunday at 8 p.m. on the Health Network, will feature interviews from residents who specialize in different aspects of health. They included Matt Killam, chief outreach officer for Metroparks Toledo, and Isabella Weik, president and chief executive officer of the Toledo Mindfulness Institute.
