🌟 The Executive Edge
Dallas’ First "Social Wellness" Club
As we head into 2026, the trend in North Texas is shifting from standard healthcare to Whole-Body Optimization. If you’ve been looking for a medical home that feels more like a private club than a doctor’s office, you need to know about Sanctum Med + Wellness.
Led by the nationally recognized Dr. Jessica Shepherd, Sanctum is a premier destination for longevity, hormonal health, and performance. This is "high-touch" concierge medicine designed for the busy Dallas executive or resident who refuses to settle for "normal" lab results.
The Experience: Beyond typical physicals, they offer 3D body scanning, ozone therapy (via the HOCATT sauna), advanced peptide protocols, and integrated hormonal optimization.
The Location: 5600 W. Lovers Lane (near Miracle Mile).
The Vibe: It’s a multidisciplinary hub where you can get a customized medical protocol, an IV drip, and a session with a top-tier aesthetician—all under one roof.

If you need a "third space" that isn't your home or office, head over to Common Good in East Dallas. Recently opened, this isn't just a coffee shop—it’s a curated experience. Half of the space is a high-end espresso bar, while the other half features a lush vinyl listening room and a boutique salon.

⚡ The Quick Digest: Dallas in 60 Seconds
☀️ Record-Breaking Warmth: North Texas officially tied the second warmest Christmas on record yesterday, with temperatures hitting 80°F. Large crowds celebrated the spring-like weather at Klyde Warren Park and outdoor venues across the city before a sharp cold front arrives this Sunday night.
🏈 Cowboys Holiday Win: The Dallas Cowboys secured a needed 30-23 victory over the Washington Commanders on Christmas Day. While an 18-point lead nearly evaporated in the second half, the holiday turnaround keeps Dallas in the postseason hunt.
🏀 Mavericks Injury Blow: Mavs center Anthony Davis was sidelined during the Christmas game against the Warriors due to right groin spasms. The team is operating with an "abundance of caution" regarding the 10-time All-Star's recovery.
🚔 Officer Arrested: A Dallas Police Lieutenant was arrested for driving while intoxicated in North Texas on Christmas Eve. The department confirmed the arrest yesterday as internal investigations begin.
🐈 A Christmas Miracle: A local cat named Felix is resting safely today after a dramatic Christmas Eve chimney rescue. A neighbor used an AirTag to help first responders locate the trapped feline just in time for the holiday.
🛫 DFW Airport Milestone: Holiday travelers are seeing relief today as DFW International Airport opens the new right-hand access into Terminal A, a major milestone in the ongoing $9 billion "DFW Forward" expansion project.
