Live Well at Home 

with Home Care Assistance 

If you are looking for a new exercise 

routine and haven’t tried yoga 

before, this just might be your year. 

From spine-strengthening cobra poses 

followed by a sudsy craft brew to 

rejuvenating downward-facing dog 

stretches in the company of kitties, the 

list of creative, popular yoga offerings 

means there’s one just right for you. 

Here’s a glimpse of some of the classes 

available in the Orlando area: 

Hot Yoga takes place in a studio 

that is heated to 102-105 degrees, 

where students balance, stretch and 

sweat their way through the workout. 

Ocoee’s Toni Wheeler works 

out at Hot on Yoga in Winter 

Garden and Orlando Power 

Yoga in Dr. Phillips, and she loves 

them both. 

“I prefer a hot studio, because it 

intensifies the workout by allowing 

deeper stretching as your muscles 

warm up,” she said. “I find it therapeutic 

and a great way to stay in 

shape.” 

Feline friends rejoice! Orlando 

Cat Café in Clermont has the purrfect 

class for you. Yoga with cats 

includes one hour of yoga followed 

by 30 minutes of time visiting with 

the kitties in the “cat play area,” 

which will leave you feeling relaxed 

and rejuvenated. All of the cats who 

call the café home are available for 

adoption, so who knows, you might 

just go home with a new furry family 

member. Classes are offered the 

second and fourth Saturday morning 

of every month for $15, and reservations 

are required. Call 352-989- 

4820 or visit their Facebook page. 

There’s even a yoga class for beerlovers. 

Hair of the Downward 

Dog yoga class takes place every 

Saturday at 11 a.m. on the silo 

lawn of Crooked Can Brewing 

Co. in Winter Garden’s Plant Street 

Market. Bring a mat and the $10 

fee, which includes the class and a 

13- or 16-ounce beer of your choice. 

(Participants under 21 are welcome 

for $5.) 

If you are looking for an alternative 

to Friday happy hour, consider 

Orlando Brewing’s Yoga 

Under the Stars, which takes 

place at 7 p.m. on the third Friday of 

the month. For more information, visit 

www.orlandobrewing.com or check 

them out on Facebook. 

“Holy Yoga is very much like 

traditional yoga with the breaths, 

movements and poses. It’s just Christcentered, 

and that faith anchors our 

intentions and meditations,” said 

Ocoee resident Amy Brady, a registered 

Holy Yoga instructor. 

If you are looking to strengthen 

your body, be part of a supportive 

community, and connect with the 

Creator, Holy Yoga might be for 

you. Popular worldwide, classes are 

available in the Orlando area and 

via an online monthly subscription. 

Visit www.holyyoga.net to find a 

class or learn more. 

Looking for a good laugh? 

Laughter Yoga combines unconditional 

laughter with breathing 

exercises designed to relax 

facial muscles, strengthen abdominal 

muscles, improve your energy 

and mood, and increase pain tolerance. 

Meet up with others at the 

CommuniTeeHee Laughter Club 

on Mondays at 11:30 a.m. for a 

free workout at the Mayor Beardall 

Senior Center, located at 800 S. 

Delaney Ave. in Orlando. For more 

information, search “Laughter Yoga 

Orlando” on Google. 

Now that the hot weather of 

summer has arrived, consider trading 

your yoga mat for a stand-up 

paddleboard. SUP Yoga, as it is 

known to devotees, offers the additional 

challenge of executing balance 

poses while afloat. Fresh air, 

sunshine and the many peaceful 

lake settings in the area turn newbies 

into fans. Head to Lake Ivanhoe

In the glitzy and expanding Dr. 

Phillips Center for the Performing 

Arts, Southwest resident and Orange 

County Mayor Teresa Jacobs 

gave her last State of the County address 

to a large crowd. 

“In reflecting on this amazing era 

of recovery, discovery and transformation, 

an era of tragedy and 

triumph, I believe we have truly become 

the best place to live, work 

and raise a family,” she said. 

The Jones High School Opus Singers 

and Brass Quintet entertained attendees 

during the pre-event reception. 

Southwest resident Rich Maladecki, 

president and CEO of the Central 

Florida Hotel & Lodging Association 

gave the opening remarks. 

Before the mayor took the stage, 

she played a video providing a look 

back at the past nearly eight years, 

providing a visual of how she has 

aimed to improve the community for 

“our children, their children and their 

grandchildren.” 

This is Jacobs’ last year as mayor. 

Term limits do not allow her to run 

again. 

NOTEWORTHY NEWS 

Mayor Jacobs Gives 

Her Final State of the County Address 

Jacobs interspersed her address 

with some humor, reminiscing about 

test-driving a helicopter in simulation 

and crashing it, operating a bulldozer 

during a code-enforcement 

operation, and recalling how the 

Windermere mayor danced with 

her and others during a commission 

meeting. She thanked her family, 

county staff and county commissioners 

for their support and hard work. 

Then she turned serious, recalling 

why she ran for mayor and how she 

has tackled the needs of children 

and families during her years in office. 

Jacobs began her first term on 

the “heels of the Great Recession,” 

when the county lost about $150 million 

in annual revenue. The county’s 

economy has rebounded. It now enjoys 

a Triple-A bond rating. 

by Debra Wood 

“Knowing that economies can experience 

volatility is the reason that I 

have focused so intently on boosting 

our fiscal management practices and 

improving our credit worthiness,” 

Jacobs said. 

Jacobs reported that the county 

issued 84,000 building permits 

in 2017, valued at more than $2.3 

billion. She recalled that when she 

took office, employees of the building 

department were furloughed 

because of a lack of demand and 

funding. 

The area’s tourism and hospitality 

industry has rebounded, and Central 

Florida remains the No. 1 travel 

destination in the country, generating 

$70 billion in economic impact 

and supporting about one-third of 

the jobs in the county. Last year, 

Southwest resident and Orange County 

Mayor Teresa Jacobs presents her final 

State of the County address. 

the hospitality industry generated 

$255 million in Tourist Development 

Taxes. 

“Thanks to the superior customer 

service of our frontline workers, 

we’ve made Central Florida the envy 

of the global hospitality market,” 

Jacobs said. “Thank you to our tourism 

leaders.”

Jacobs called the state of Orange 

County strong. She praised neighbors 

helping neighbors during hurricanes 

Maria and Irma and the 

community’s “culture of compassion 

and collaboration.” 

Not all has been positive. On June 

12, 2016, patrons of Pulse nightclub 

were attacked. 

“Together, our community endured 

a nightmare that none of us could 

ever have imagined,” said Jacobs, 

before playing a video that highlighted 

the 49 people who lost their 

lives that night. 

She discussed how the county, in 

cooperation with the city of Orlando 

and United Way, opened the 

Orlando United Assistance Center to 

help surviving victims. 

“As overwhelming as the loss was, 

the response of our community was 

equally overwhelming,” Jacobs said. 

“Never would I have imagined the 

outpouring of love and unity, or the 

depth of our strength and resilience. 

As a community, we share a commitment 

to make sure the whole world 

never forgets our 49 Pulse angels.” 

Jacobs also remarked on the efforts 

the county has taken to help 

with the rehoming of Hurricane 

Maria evacuees from Puerto Rico 

and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and to 

address the opioid crisis. 

The speech occurred on the day 

of another mass casualty shooting 

in a high school. Jacobs paused 

for a moment of silence and teared 

up before talking about making 

schools and places of worship safe 

again and dealing with mental 

illness. 

Jacobs and the county commissioners 

took the public-safety action 

this year to close the “gun show loophole.” 

The new law “requires criminal 

background checks and a three-day 

waiting period for everyone who 

purchases a firearm at a gun show, 

flea market or firearms exhibit — a 

requirement that otherwise only applied 

if you are purchasing a firearm 

from a licensed gun dealer,” she 

said. 

Jacobs also talked about addressing 

the challenges of affordable 

housing, increasing the number of 


animals adopted through animal 

services, and remembering sacrifices 

of first responders, including 

Windermere Police Officer Robbie 

German, who was “senselessly 

gunned down by two suicidal 

teens. Both teens then took their 

own lives.” 

She reported that Orange County’s 

unemployment rate has declined 

from 10.7 percent when she took office 

to a current rate of 3.2 percent. 

Orange County has added 160,000 

new jobs during that time.

Rather than leave with a feeling 

that Jacobs took credit for all of the 

progress the community has experienced, 

she humbly suggested that 

people have come together to make 

a difference in shaping the vibrant 

community that now exists. 

“Working with each of you, and 

with so many others throughout 

Central Florida and our state, has 

been the honor and privilege of a lifetime,” 

Jacobs said. “May God bless 

each of you and all those who stand 

in support of Orange County.” ª

OPTIMIZE YOUR WELL-BEING


HEALTHY 

LIVING 

From losing weight to looking 

younger to feeling fit, there are 

many reasons people focus on 

their health. Choosing the right 

way to maintain a healthy lifestyle 

can be a daunting task; 

however, Southwest Orlando 

Bulletin’s Healthy Living provides 

advice from local experts to help 

readers achieve and maintain 

their varied health goals. 

Are You 

Too Attached 

to Your Cell Phone? 

by Diane Robinson, PhD, 

Neuropsychologist 

Orlando Health 

orlandohealthblog.com 

More than 75 percent of 

Americans own a smartphone, making 

these devices an integral part of 

our everyday lives. But for many of 

us, smartphones have moved from 

handy tools to all-consuming toys. 

Two questions can determine 

which camp you fall into: 

1. Do you check your phone every 

few minutes for the latest Facebook 

updates, tweets, news alerts or texts? 

2. Do you spend more time communicating 

with people on your 

phone than in person? 

If the answer is yes to either of 

these questions, you may be too attached 

to your phone. Relying too 

much on digital devices can interfere 

with normal one-on-one conversation 

and relationship-building. 

If your smartphone is taking up too 

much space — and time — in your 

life, here are some ways to rein 

it in. 

• Keep your phone out of reach. 

When you drive, store your phone in 

the glove compartment or put it in your 

purse. When you’re at a restaurant or 

other social outing, turn your phone off 

and put it away. 

• Have phone-free zones. Keep 

your phone out of the bathroom. In addition 

to being excessive, this behavior 

also may be unsanitary. Before you go 

to bed at night, turn your phone off 

and put it away. 

• Set designated digital-free times. 

Start a no-cell phone rule during certain 

times, such as family dinners or 

weekend social activities. Shut down 

your phone at a certain point each 

day during the workweek. 

• Enjoy real-world conversations. 

When you’re socializing with family or 

friends, turn off your phone or at least 

put it on vibrate. Don’t be that person 

who checks their phone while someone 

is trying to have a conversation with you. 

• Instead of passing away the time 

on your phone, try more enriching activities, 

such as exercising, seeing new 

sights around your town, getting out 

and meeting new people, or spending 

time with those you care about. 

These are all more worthwhile than 

being glued to your phone. 

Depression & Suicide 

by Syed O. Quadri, M.D., Psychiatrist 

Psych Pointe of Florida 

www.psychpointe.com 

407-270-7702 

After the recent suicides of Anthony 

Bourdain and Kate Spade, we need 

to educate and introspect ourselves 

to watch out for possible symptoms 

of mental illness: 

• Inability to sleep, restlessness, 

feelings of despair or crying 

excessively. 

• Feeling down, worthless, hopeless 

or helpless most of the time. 

• Concentration problems that impede 

basic thinking, ability to recall 

or interfere with relationships, work 

or home life. 

• Using food, drugs, gambling or 

alcohol to cope with difficult emotions 

and unhappiness. 

• Negative or self-destructive 

thoughts or fears out of your 

control. 

• Thoughts of self-harm, including 

suicide or death. 

• Constantly getting into arguments 

and fights with others. 

• Isolating oneself and missing social 

settings regularly. 

If you are in need of mental 

help, call 911, the National 

Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 

1-800-273-8255, or seek local 

counsel. 

Health Literacy

Libraries and literacy go hand in 

hand, but did you know that libraries 

can also build your health literacy? 

While reading won’t tone your 

body, you can still find resources 

and programs that will help teach 

you how to obtain and understand 

basic health information needed to 

make good decisions. According 

to ScienceDaily, health literacy can 

help you make more informed decisions 

that affect your overall health, 

such as when making food choices 

or communicating with a health 

professional. 

Libraries work toward achieving 

all forms of literacy for adults and 

children, but this doesn’t limit you to 

just reading. Libraries give you the 

opportunity to reach your goals by

enriching your life! Traditionally, 

libraries are known as places for 

books, but they offer so much more! 

Many libraries host events and 

classes that provide a chance to 

develop a new skill or gain a new 

experience. 

So the next time you can’t think of 

something to do or find yourself looking 

for a healthy getaway, consider 

a visit to your local library! 

Healthy Self-Worth 

by Adam Langley, M.D. 

PremierMED

407-581-9065 

Do you love and accept yourself 

just as you are? For many of us, it 

is difficult to accept our less-attractive 

features or character flaws. 

Possibly, you have an idea of how 

you should appear based on comparisons, 

judgements or a “perfect 

image.” In our current culture of 

social media, superficial comparisons 

can lead to feelings of inadequacy, 

which can lead to negative 

self-talk. 

When considering personal health 

goals, a vital part of that journey 

begins within a person’s heart and 

mind. Finding confidence and acceptance 

of one’s self-worth as a 

human being is crucial to starting 

and sustaining any health regimen. 

Once our internal perspective is 

on solid ground, we can better focus 

on our external influences and 

goals. There are several avenues 

people can take to start the process 

of self-acceptance. Obstacles 

that can get in the way of selfacceptance 

are shame, doubt and 

delusions. 

Problems are just opportunities. 

Before we are able to make progress 

discovering the best version of 

“us,” we must first look at our imperfections 

or problems as opportunities 

to become the best versions of 

ourselves. How do we do this? First, 

we must look at ourselves honestly, 

not critically; second, we can accept 

that we are human and flawed; 

and finally, we must be intentional 

and realistic in our steps toward 

change. 

Throughout our culture and society, 

there are continual messages 

that convey we are not good 

enough, and happiness is just out 

of reach. This message is rooted in 

toxic shame, and it fuels the confusion 

surrounding quick-fix, fad diets 

and weight-loss supplements. Toxic 

shame prevents us from loving ourselves. 

Toxic shame requires identification, 

correction, healing and 

elimination. 

When you find yourself hearing 

an inner-voice of judgement, contempt, 

self-labeling or comparison, 

ask yourself this question: Would 

you speak to a child or friend this 

way? If not, why are you speaking to 

yourself this way? 

At this point, I will leave you with 

a challenge. Set your timer for 10 

minutes. Go into your bathroom with 

a mirror. Look into your eyes and relax 

into your unconditional positive 

regard. Tell yourself you are worthy, 

and you are loved. The practice of 

positive self-talk allows us to own the 

changes we want to see, rather than 

letting them control us. I hope you 

continue to grow and change on 

your path to self-worth. 

The Importance 

of Hormones 

as People Age

MSMS, ABAARM, FAARFM

Hormones and Wellness 

www.hormonesandwellness.com 

407-507-3837 

Many of us already know that 

hormones, such as estrogen and 

testosterone, decline with age, and 

along with that decline comes a 

significant reduction in sex drive 

and physical intimacy. What is 

not commonly known is that hormonal

After menopause, women see a 

dramatic rise in the incidences of 

heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis 

and breast cancer. These diseases 

are associated with very high 

death rates. Similarly, men, whose 

testosterone levels fall every year after 

the age of 25, also see similar 

increases in age-related diseases. 

The secret that so many traditional 

doctors either do not know or are 

unwilling to accept is that restoring 

hormone levels to those that are common 

and normal in younger women 

and men can promote healthy aging 

and reduce death rates. 

Many medical journal articles 

have correctly condemned the use 

of synthetic hormones as dangerous. 

However, the literature on the 

use of bioidentical hormones has 

been conclusive about the fact that 

bioidentical hormone therapy is 

safe and effective at reducing disease 

and improving health and 

longevity in those who are properly 

treated. 

If you are looking to maintain your 

health and vitality well into your 

senior years, bioidentical hormone 

therapy is an essential treatment that 

will help you do so. It may also help 

you have a little more intimate “fun” 

along the way.

Micro-infusion facials are a new 

way to treat areas that were previously 

hard to address. Additionally, 

it allows for a quick pick-me-up 

for the neck, under-eye area and 

decolletage in a way that microneedling 

can’t offer. 

AquaGold Fine Touch is a microchanneling 

device that helps plump 

and rejuvenate skin. This procedure 

takes the classic microneedling process 

a step further by simultaneously 

addressing common concerns like 

dryness, fine lines and wrinkles. Its 

unique design with 24-karat needles 

makes AquaGold Fine Touch the 

perfect complementary treatment to 

other in-office procedures like Botox 

Cosmetic and other fillers.

Everybody’s talking about probiotics 

and the importance of a healthy 

gut. But what many people don’t 

grasp is how important your GI 

health is to your overall health. To 

put it simply, with gut health, you are 

what you eat. 

High-fat diets, junk food, smoking 

and drinking all negatively affect 

your colon, stomach, liver and even 

gall bladder. High-fiber, low-fat, low 

cholesterol, healthy diets keep your 

body’s GI tract in optimal condition 

and promote good health. 

Perhaps it’s the food or the risk 

factors, but officials at the American 

Cancer Society recently lowered the 

screening age for colonoscopies. 

They now recommend people begin 

testing at age 45, earlier if exhibiting 

symptoms or there’s a family history 

of colon cancer. 

Screening saves lives, so why 

are so many people still scared 

about a colonoscopy? Science and 

technology have made it easier 

than ever to get screened. From 

the prep to the procedure, a colonoscopy 

is a simple, outpatient 

procedure. 

If you’re 45 or older and need to 

schedule a colonoscopy or if you 

have issues affecting your esophagus, 

liver, stomach or colon, contact 

a gastroenterologist to schedule an 

appointment. 

What Is Vaginal 

Reconstruction? 

by Lori Lambert, M.D.

407-363-2000 

Laser vaginal rejuvenation is a 

therapy that helps restore tone and 

flexibility to the vaginal and vulvar tissues. 

Childbirth, menopause, certain 

skin conditions like vulvar dystrophy 

and lichen sclerosis, cancer treatment 

and aging can cause thinning of the 

vagina, called vaginal atrophy, or vulvovaginal 

atrophy (involving the vulva 

and vagina). Vaginal atrophy can lead 

to vaginal dryness, painful sex called 

dyspareunia, vaginal irritation, vaginal 

burning and skin discoloration of the 

vulva with age spots or brown spots. 

Laser treatment of the pelvic tissue 

increases collagen production, which 

strengthens the vagina and vulvar tissue, 

and improves elasticity and flexibility, 

as well as improving vaginal

lubrication. Laser vaginal rejuvenation 

is one type of labiaplasty treatment 

that can lead to skin rejuvenation of 

the vagina, as well as the vulva. For 

women with vaginal laxity (looseness 

of the vagina, usually after childbirth), 

laser rejuvenation can improve vaginal 

tone and result in vaginal tightening. 

The laser resurfacing treatment of 

the vulva can minimize and/or resolve 

pigment changes, age spots or brown 

spots. 

Although the Juliet medical laser is 

not FDA-approved for the treatment 

of urinary issues, many women have 

reported an improvement in urinary 

urgency and urinary incontinence after 

treatment. 

Overcoming 

Dental Phobia 

by Sonia Simmonds, D.D.S. 

Simmonds Dental Center

321-558-7635 

Overcoming dental phobia is 

the collective responsibility of the 

patient, the patient’s family and the 

dentist. Dental phobia is mainly to 

blame for the alarming rise in the 

number of people with poor dental 

health. It has been found that 

up to 40 million Americans refuse 

to visit the dentist for fear of pain, 

and they are experiencing dental 

problems in various forms and 

severity. 

The causes of dental fear can 

range from a traumatic experience 

to a co-occurring psychological 

disorder like anxiety or depression. 

To respond to this all-too-real 

problem, dentists have become 

aware that their practices must 

continue to evolve, and that new 

methods and equipment need to 

be adopted to convince the fearing 

populace, especially children, that 

dentistry today isn’t like the dentistry 

of old. 

Dentists can also put patients 

at ease by having state-of-the-art 

equipment designed to minimize 

pain and the chances of a procedure

such as noise-canceling headphones, 

aromatherapy neck pillows, 

blankets or TVs over chairs, which are 

all great techniques that can help to 

distract patients from their fears and 

get them more relaxed. Techniques 

such as oral or IV sedation and antianxiety

Diabetes 101 

by Jose Mandry, M.D. 

Endocrine Associates of Florida 

www.jmandry.com 

407-480-4830 

Representatives of the Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

report 100 million Americans are 

living with diabetes mellitus or 

have prediabetes. Type 2 diabetes 

often happens as we age and 

is associated with other chronic 

illnesses such as heart disease, 

kidney problems, nerve damage, 

sexual dysfunction and eye 

problems. 

If diabetes runs in your family, if 

your waist is more than 35 inches for 

females and 40 inches for males, or 

if you have symptoms like fatigue, 

frequent urination, unexplained 

weight loss, blurry vision or excessive 

thirst, an easy blood test can 

determine if you are prediabetic or 

diabetic. If your doctor determines 

you are at risk for diabetes, he or 

she may discuss easy treatment options 

such as diet, weight loss and 

exercise. 

Early detection and treatment 

are necessary in alleviating 

other chronic complications 

that occur in people who have 

diabetes. Talk to your health care 

professional about your risk, so 

you can make healthy lifestyle 

choices to prevent diabetes and its 

complications. 

Preventing 

Fall Risks for Seniors 

by James Pasquinelli, Owner 

Home Care Assistance 

www.homecareassistanceorlando.com 

407-232-7155 

A senior’s home can present many 

risks. There should be plenty of light 

in every room. Motion-activated or 

timer lights can be helpful as days get 

shorter. Bathroom safety can be improved 

by having grab bars installed 

in the tub or shower and by the toilet. 

Nonslip strips and a bath bench in 

the tub or shower and a raised toilet 

seat are valuable. Kitchen countertops 

should be kept glare-free. Rugs 

should be tacked down or secured 

with nonskid pads. Rugs with highly 

contrasting dark and light patterns 

can interfere with a senior’s depth 

perception and should be avoided 

or replaced. Reduce glare with only 

no-wax cleaners on floors. Firmly 

secured handrails are a necessity 

on both sides of stairways and outside 

steps. Steps should also have 

nonskid treads. Furniture should 

not block walking areas. Make 

sure all electrical cords are out of 

the way. 

Hiring an in-home caregiver can 

also help prevent falls, especially 

if a senior is living alone at home. 

Supervision is especially important 

for older people with dementia that 

makes them get up and wander at 

night. 

Getting Children 

to Eat Healthy 

by Bindu Parekattil, M.D., FAAP 

Ocoee Pediatrics 

www.ocoeekidsdocs.com 

407-395-2037 

Almost all parents admonish children 

to “Eat your vegetables,” but 

how do we get our children to eat 

those vegetables? 

As a physician, I ask kids to follow 

the two veggie/two fruit rule. At 

lunch and dinner, have a vegetable. 

Ask them to eat the vegetable first 

and then “enjoy” the rest of their 

meal. It is much harder to eat things

you don’t like once you are full. After 

a month, it should become more of 

a habit and less of a fight. It also 

helps to get children involved in food 

preparation. It’s a great way to have 

family time and gives kids a greater 

appreciation for what they are eating. 

Letting them pick out vegetables 

and prepare them makes it more palatable 

and interesting. 

Decrease their sugar intake. Keep 

sodas, sports drinks and desserts out 

of the house to prevent temptations. 

There are a lot of packaged snacks 

targeting children — they are easy 

to grab but are often not healthy. 

Choose other options such as an apple, 

carrot sticks, oranges, nuts, berries 

or cheese. Think about replacing 

those juice boxes in the lunchbox 

with water. Water is always the best 

choice. 

It is important to establish healthy 

eating habits early and to continue 

to reinforce those habits throughout 

childhood and adolescence. 

A Path to 

Rejuvenation & 

Relaxation 

submitted by Massage Envy 

407-354-3689 

Whether you’re a weekend warrior, 

mom or entrepreneur, your 

body has to keep up with your lifestyle. 

But you’ve got to take care of 

it to do more. When you put in the 

hard work, your body works hard 

for you. Massage is just one way 

to help ready your body to take on 

more. 

An occasional massage leaves 

you feeling great, but regular massages 

can do so much more. The 

work a massage therapist does in 

each session builds on itself, helping 

your body maintain a relaxed state 

and your muscles to remain loose, 

even during times of physical and 

mental stress. 

There’s no mistaking it. You ask a 

lot of your body to be at your best, 

and taking care of your body helps 

keep you there. But you’ve got to 

make it a regular thing, and that’s 

what massage therapists are there 

to do. 

Age-Fighting Skin 

Treatments for Men

Trained Injector, and Suzanna Suto, 

Aesthetician 

Spa Blue

407-772-2583 

More than ever, men are seeking 

skin treatments that can help them 

look younger, more relaxed and less 

tired, especially when treating the 

under-eye area. For most men, it’s 

not about looking younger, it’s about 

looking well-rested. 

Botox Cosmetic tops the list of 

male cosmetic procedures, but the 

latest revolutionary treatment is 

platelet-rich plasma. PRP, also known 

as the Vampire Facial, is being used 

in many aspects of medicine, including 

skin rejuvenation, thinning/ 

balding hair, sexual rejuvenation, 

joints, urology, gastrointestinal and 

dentistry. PRP is a great choice for 

rejuvenating the skin in men, because 

there is no downtime with this 

procedure. PRP is all-natural, using 

the patient’s own serum so there is 

no risk for side effects. The improvement 

in the skin tone and wrinkles 

is gradual over a few weeks, and 

males love the fact that they look 

younger, rested and refreshed. Focus 

can be placed on the under-eye 

area and crow’s-feet region, which 

helps clients look rested instead of 

exhausted for Friday’s happy hour. 

PRP for hair loss helps to regrow hair 

and slow the progression of hair 

loss. There is a lot of success with 

this nonsurgical one-hour procedure, 

and it is currently undergoing clinical 

trials.

Where Members of All Ages 

Get Healthy Together 

It’s not a gym; it’s a place where 

you and your family can start your 

new path toward health. 

With four locations serving the 

Central Florida area, Fitness CF 

offers members the latest in fitness 

equipment; certified personal trainers; 

group exercise and spinning 

classes; extensive, supervised child 

care areas; and amenities that make 

your workout experience even more 

enjoyable. 

The experience begins as you are 

greeted walking in and immediately 

notice how clean the facilities are. 

Fitness CF recognizes that a full 

health experience includes a healthy 

environment, and the staff takes 

great pride in providing the cleanest, 

healthiest, most comfortable and 

up-to-date facilities for its members, 

including providing Air Oasis air 

purifiers. 

Fitness CF ownership is local, and 

owners are consistently in the gyms, 

seeking member input and ensuring 

they are always delivering the bestequipped, 

clean, family-friendly fitness 

experience. Surveys are sent to 

members regularly for facility feedback, 

and owner Pleasant Lewis 

even has his personal email posted 

in the facilities, so members can 

contact him. 

Variety of Amenities 

“Everyone who is coming into 

Fitness CF is trying to do something 

different, whether it is training, losing 

weight or rehab from an injury, and 

it’s our job to find out what it is to help 

them,” says Susan Adams, the facility’s 

area director. “We offer options 

for every fitness level, from beginning 

exercisers to elite athletes. Our team 

can assist with a low-impact workout 

designed specifically for seniors or 

demonstrate the right techniques for 

a high-intensity workout.” 

With locations in St. Cloud, Mount 

Dora, Clermont and Dr. Phillips, all 

ages are welcome to come through 

Fitness CF’s doors for any reason 

and find staff members there to 

help. Besides the latest in exercise 

equipment, members can also enjoy 

watching a movie while working out 

in the cardio theater, taking part in 

group fitness classes, or having private 

or small group training with the 

facility’s personal trainers. 

Other amenities include Hydro- 

Massage sessions, on-site tanning, 

infrared saunas, pro shops and 

smoothie bars, all to enhance members’ 

experience. Each location also 

has women’s only workout areas 

and on-site child care that has an 

expansive play area/kiddie’s gym 

that is supervised by backgroundchecked, 

CPR-certified employees 

and that has live cameras, so you 

can check on your children while 

exercising. 

The gym experience is no longer 

all about lifting weights. Fitness 

CF has introduced new functional 

training areas and innovative new 

equipment, like Keiser Pneumatic 

Technology and Fit3D, a 3D body 

scan that shows, as Susan quotes, 

“every bump and lump in your 

body.” 

This scan helps target troublesome 

areas of your body where you and/ 

or your personal trainer can help 

build through training. “It’s a great 

PROMOTIONAL FEATURE 

tool, especially if you are trying to 

achieve weight loss or reach some 

athletic goal. Not many facilities 

carry these in Central Florida, and 

we have these scans at all four of our 

facilities,” says Susan. 

It’s the People 

It’s not about just getting people in 

and out but developing relationships 

with the members to where they become 

a part of the Fitness CF family. 

Unlike many other health clubs, 

Fitness CF strives to have members 

actually use their memberships. 

People is what first drew Susan 

to the company to begin with. She 

started in community outreach and 

advertising and moved up during 

the past 12 years into corporate 

membership, management improvement 

and to her current position of 

area director. Now she is continuing 

the family ideal by hiring diverse 

employees and welcoming 

tonyrappa@capturevideo-photo.com 

members of all ages, from children to 

senior citizens in the Silver Sneakers 

program. 

“I like, more than anything, the 

people we have at Fitness CF,” she 

said. “For me, it’s the interactions 

with the staff and the members. It’s 

giving people the opportunity to 

live a healthier, more active life for 

around $1 per day.” 

Besides their most recent remodel 

at the Dr. Phillips location, which has 

been proudly serving the Dr. Phillips 

area for more than 15 years, what’s 

ahead for Fitness CF is continuing 

to help Central Florida get healthy 

and make lifestyle changes in a 

family-oriented atmosphere. 

“The public is becoming more 

educated, so it is a great time in fitness,” 

Susan said. “People are caring 

about the longevity of their lives 

and the future of their children, and 

it is neat to watch.”

new book, A Jamaican 

Family’s Saga, with

Argyle, the second son 

of Ulrica and Leopold 

Steele, dives headfirst 

into delving into this 

mystery, with a surprise 

awaiting him and his 

wife in Cuba. Leonard 

drew on real life experiences 

to write this novel. 

He was born in Jamaica, 

moved to England as an 

infant, and moved back 

to Jamaica in 1967. He 

made his living as a jeweler in 

Pennsylvania with his wife and two 

children. After retiring from the jewelry

Fixed indexed annuities may not be suitable for all. To help determine if an annuity meets your unique financial situation and liquidity needs, consult a 

licensed insurance agent. In addition, please thoroughly review all marketing materials, specimen contracts and riders, buyer’s guides, and forms 

related to the annuity for costs and important details. Insurance agents do not give investment, legal, or tax advice. Annuities held within qualified 

plans do not provide any additional tax benefits. Withdrawals may be subject to income tax, and a 10% federal income tax penalty may apply to 

withdrawals taken before age 59½. Additionally, surrender charges and a market value adjustment may apply if you withdraw more than the 

penalty-free amount in a year. Fixed indexed annuities guarantee a minimum interest rate on all or a percentage of each contribution over the life of 

your contract, less any withdrawals and/or deductions and early surrender charges. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the insurer.

Are you asking 

enough questions 

about the way 

your wealth 

is managed? 

In life, you question everything. The 

same should be true when it comes 

to managing your wealth. Do you 

know what your broker is basing 

their recommendations on? Do they 

stand by their word? Do you know 

how much you’re paying in fees? And 

how those fees affect your returns? 

Ask your broker, and if you don’t like 

their answers, ask again at Schwab.
