Durango psychologist Stacy Reuille-Dupont knows that mind and emotions affect physical health, and physical health contributes to emotional well-being. But getting clients to incorporate both was a challenge. That’s why she opened Studio B. Sponsored by 2180 Lighting and Design Studio and Serious Texas BBQ

00:00:00,600 –> 00:00:03,340
As both a personal
trainer and psychologist,
2
00:00:03,340 –> 00:00:06,280
Stacy Reuille-Dupont has
heard hundreds of excuses
3
00:00:06,280 –> 00:00:08,480
from clients who failed to follow through
4
00:00:08,480 –> 00:00:12,030
on treatments for their
physical and mental wellbeing.
5
00:00:12,030 –> 00:00:13,220
That’s why she created
6
00:00:13,220 –> 00:00:15,760
a different kind of
integrated health clinic
7
00:00:15,760 –> 00:00:19,470
and exercise studio called Studio B.

11
00:00:26,580 –> 00:00:28,440
I’m Wendy Graham Settle.
12
00:00:28,440 –> 00:00:31,150
Tracy Reuille-Dupont knows that mind
13
00:00:31,150 –> 00:00:33,330
and emotions affect our physical health,
14
00:00:33,330 –> 00:00:37,120
and that physical health
affects our mind and emotions.
15
00:00:37,120 –> 00:00:39,030
But as a psychologist,
16
00:00:39,030 –> 00:00:41,650
mental health therapist,
and personal trainer,
17
00:00:41,650 –> 00:00:43,370
she often found that her clients
18
00:00:43,370 –> 00:00:45,850
failed to follow through
on her recommendations
19
00:00:45,850 –> 00:00:48,790
to integrate exercise
into their wellness plans,
20
00:00:48,790 –> 00:00:52,231
because the services were
siloed in different locations.
21
00:00:52,231 –> 00:00:54,600
Clients would lose their motivation
22
00:00:54,600 –> 00:00:57,390
to go to the gym after
they left her office.
23
00:00:57,390 –> 00:01:00,770
That’s why she created an
integrated healthcare studio
24
00:01:00,770 –> 00:01:02,716
with a focus on non-medical treatments
25
00:01:02,716 –> 00:01:06,600
to address her clients’
mental and physical needs.
26
00:01:06,600 –> 00:01:09,900
Studio B is a one-stop
clinic that offers programs
27
00:01:09,900 –> 00:01:11,510
in mental health counseling,
28
00:01:11,510 –> 00:01:13,730
an exercise studio onsite,
29
00:01:13,730 –> 00:01:16,310
medical practitioners who
can prescribe medications
30
00:01:16,310 –> 00:01:18,480
when appropriate, nutritionists,
31
00:01:18,480 –> 00:01:21,173
personal trainers, and yoga instructors.
32
00:01:22,300 –> 00:01:25,030
What I found was that without the exposure
33
00:01:25,030 –> 00:01:28,800
to this, people couldn’t
see themselves doing both.
34
00:01:28,800 –> 00:01:31,530
And so, when we’re
trying to be integrative,
35
00:01:31,530 –> 00:01:36,530
and to capture all that we
can do to help ourselves
36
00:01:36,740 –> 00:01:38,720
be as healthy as possible?
37
00:01:38,720 –> 00:01:40,090
People weren’t doing it.
38
00:01:40,090 –> 00:01:42,030
They would show up over
here for one thing.
39
00:01:42,030 –> 00:01:43,730
I would tell them, you know,
40
00:01:43,730 –> 00:01:46,360
hey, I want you to go see
this trainer over here,
41
00:01:46,360 –> 00:01:48,630
maybe at the rec center or whatever.
42
00:01:48,630 –> 00:01:52,003
They might go. But most
likely they didn’t.
43
00:01:54,060 –> 00:01:55,950
Psychology is also my second career.
44
00:01:55,950 –> 00:01:56,783
In the first career,
45
00:01:56,783 –> 00:02:00,380
I was health and fitness
management, health club management.
46
00:02:00,380 –> 00:02:03,020
And what I knew from those days
47
00:02:03,020 –> 00:02:04,450
was unless you could get somebody
48
00:02:04,450 –> 00:02:05,970
through the front door,
49
00:02:05,970 –> 00:02:07,483
they often didn’t come.
50
00:02:08,450 –> 00:02:11,620
Reuille-Dupont calls her clinic Studio B
51
00:02:11,620 –> 00:02:13,370
because she wants to help clients
52
00:02:13,370 –> 00:02:17,800
be who they need to be to live
a happier, healthier life.
53
00:02:17,800 –> 00:02:19,970
Clinicians and trainers work together
54
00:02:19,970 –> 00:02:22,450
to create individualized plans for clients
55
00:02:22,450 –> 00:02:25,210
to address their
particular wellness goals.
56
00:02:25,210 –> 00:02:26,980
Perhaps you want to lose weight.
57
00:02:26,980 –> 00:02:29,980
At Studio B, you may
work on a nutrition plan
58
00:02:29,980 –> 00:02:31,720
while attending therapy sessions
59
00:02:31,720 –> 00:02:34,030
to identify why you overeat.
60
00:02:34,030 –> 00:02:35,830
An exercise regimen with a trainer
61
00:02:35,830 –> 00:02:38,540
or workout buddy to
reinforce your mental health.
62
00:02:38,540 –> 00:02:42,093
And a meditation plan to
develop spiritual balance.
63
00:02:42,930 –> 00:02:44,700
We’re a wellness home.
64
00:02:44,700 –> 00:02:46,790
You come in through one point of contact,
65
00:02:46,790 –> 00:02:48,720
whether you’re doing traditional fitness
66
00:02:48,720 –> 00:02:50,880
or traditional behavioral health.
67
00:02:50,880 –> 00:02:52,590
We have both of those.
68
00:02:52,590 –> 00:02:54,640
But then we have all sorts of programs
69
00:02:54,640 –> 00:02:55,920
that cross them over,
70
00:02:55,920 –> 00:02:59,680
so that you can create the life you want,
71
00:02:59,680 –> 00:03:01,330
not just the life you were handed.
72
00:03:01,330 –> 00:03:03,680
So, say you have ADHD.
73
00:03:03,680 –> 00:03:04,530
We know that has to do
74
00:03:04,530 –> 00:03:07,240
with the way your brain
processes information.
75
00:03:07,240 –> 00:03:10,410
But we can use, we have
medical prescribers
76
00:03:10,410 –> 00:03:11,810
who can use medicine,
77
00:03:11,810 –> 00:03:15,260
which is not something to be negated.
78
00:03:15,260 –> 00:03:18,350
And we can also do nutrition for that,
79
00:03:18,350 –> 00:03:20,970
’cause we know nutrition is a huge piece
80
00:03:20,970 –> 00:03:24,160
to our overall health
and our brain health.
81
00:03:24,160 –> 00:03:26,430
And, then we can also use movement,
82
00:03:26,430 –> 00:03:28,880
which is incredibly
important for our health
83
00:03:28,880 –> 00:03:31,500
in many, many ways and our mood.
84
00:03:31,500 –> 00:03:35,670
And so, in learning how
all of those come together
85
00:03:35,670 –> 00:03:39,363
and doing various aspects
of research around it.
86
00:03:40,810 –> 00:03:43,070
Putting them together, it made more sense
87
00:03:43,070 –> 00:03:45,960
to put it all together in one space,
88
00:03:45,960 –> 00:03:47,340
rather than piecemeal it,
89
00:03:47,340 –> 00:03:51,640
or what we do, kind of
a referral-based model.
90
00:03:51,640 –> 00:03:54,670
It became, we need an all-in-one space,
91
00:03:54,670 –> 00:03:57,300
and we need an ability
to bring people together
92
00:03:57,300 –> 00:04:02,300
and expose them to how this
integrative environment works.
93
00:04:03,130 –> 00:04:05,320
Studio B is located in the Purple Cliff’s
94
00:04:05,320 –> 00:04:09,350
office building at 1305
Escalante Drive in Durango.
