Zihuatanejo, Mexico – December 15, 2014:    So many of us make New Year's resolutions to improve our looks and health, but have a difficult time making it a reality. With the “New Year, New You” program directed by America's Wellness Doctor the first week in January at the Viceroy Zihuatanejo, you can truly and immediately launch that resolution at the start of the new year.

Wellness pioneer Edward A. Taub, M.D., author of eight books on the subject and a veteran lecturer and speaker at numerous wellness symposiums who is known as "America's Wellness Medical Doctor,"  will be at Viceroy Zihuantanejo Jan. 5-11, 2015 to conduct his Week to Wellness program.

“We have themed the program at the Viceroy Zihuatanejo  'New Year, New You' because we are going to help guests launch 2015 as a breakthrough year for a life on the path of wellness,” said Dr. Taub.

In presentations and lectures, Dr. Taub will discuss how you can create a wellness lifestyle, highlighting everything from hotels which leave people happier and how to relieve stress to the benefits of spa treatments, good nutrition, yoga, meditation and just plain fun and relaxation.

Viceroy Zihuatanejo is an ideal forum for, and a perfect complement to, Dr. Taub's specialized program – because the education and encouragement from Dr. Taub can be paired with the wealth of activities and programs at the resort that can help you achieve your wellness goals.

Dr. Taub is also the Wellness Travel Writer for Coast Magazine, where he is building the magazine's list of exclusive resorts that are "Crown Jewels of Wellness."  Viceroy Zihuatanejo will be the newest entry on the list.

 
Viceroy Zihuatanejo guests can engage in a full array of water sports from windsurfing, sailing and water-skiing to snorkeling, kayaking and scuba diving;  take yoga, Tai Chi, meditation, alternative medicine and mixed martial arts classes;  work out in the air-conditioned fitness center; play tennis on the two courts;  swim in three pools;  and go on long walks or runs on the miles of white-sand beach.  Wellness is also a focus of dining at Viceroy Zihuatanejo. The exquisite cuisine is prepared with the freshest, natural, locally produced ingredients, and there are full  vegetarian and vegan menus.
