For some, the term "healthy" applies to physical well-being - the result of good nutrition, an active lifestyle and regular visits to the family doctor. An increasing number of people, however, are adopting a more holistic interpretation, expanding their definition to include mental and spiritual wellbeing as well.

Jonathon Podolsky remembers when a patient wouldn't dream of discussing holistic medicine with his or her family doctor.
"Twenty years ago, alternative treatments such as massage therapy, acupuncture and yoga were considered on the fringe of accepted medical practices," he says. "Now, they're close to being mainstream."
Podolsky, of Northampton, Mass., is producer of the fifth annual Whole Health Expo coming to the Pittsburgh Expo Mart in Monroeville this weekend. He credits women for seeking out answers that extend beyond traditional medical practices for their physical or emotional problems.

NORTHAMPTON - The two-day Whole Health Expo opens today with a new owner in command for the event's 20th year.
As Jonathon Podolsky looks to the future, he sees growth for the business niche known as the ''positive impact market.''
Podolsky, who owns a downtown art gallery, bought the annual health and lifestyles expo from Trish Blain, who is moving on to focus on a more mainstream event called the Better World Expo.
Podolsky, 32, said this week he hadn't intended to diversify his year-old arts business, the Last Minute Gallery, but jumped at a chance to take over Blain's event.

A publicist called on her cell phone from the road in Tucson, Ariz., to pitch us on the Whole HealthExpo in Northampton this weekend. "It's an exciting story," she said, explaining that the Expo was celebrating its 20th anniversary. She wasn't sure about the numbers, but she figured the New Age industry has had a ''big impact'' on the region's economy.

When the owner of the national Whole Health Expo was looking for cities in which to host a successful trade show on holistic practices, she looked for specific criteria.
The cities had to have strong liberal arts colleges and strong arts communities, some cultural diversity and publications that covered the holistic community. And just as important, they needed to have the clientele that would shop at an organic grocer like Whole Foods Market.

As an alternative to drinking beer -- not that there's anything wrong with that -- you can spend the weekend holistically. The second annual Whole Health Expo moves into the Pittsburgh Expomart with more than 100 exhibitors determined to "enhance your life, heal your body, expand your mind and inspire your spirit" (the rare few may try to lighten your wallet, as well, so be open-minded but slightly skeptical).

It's that time of the year when we all have to do a little spring cleaning. For some of us that means just clearing out all the stuff we've been piling in the basement over the winter. For others, it means a full body, mind and spirit tune-up.
