22nd Century Media’s Healthy Living Expo to 

return to Tinley Park Convention Center Jan. 13 

Jon DePaolis 

Freelance Reporter 

Southwest suburbanites 

looking for inspiration to 

make 2018 the healthiest 

year of their lives can make 

their way to 22nd Century 

Media’s Healthy Living 

Expo Saturday, Jan. 13. 

The free expo — presented 

by Planet Fitness 

— is scheduled for 9 a.m.- 

1 p.m. at the Tinley Park 

Convention Center, 18451 

Convention Center Drive. 

It will feature 30-minute 

fitness classes, cooking 

demos, guest speakers and 

more than 40 vendors. 

Also sponsoring the 

event is Ingalls Health 

System. KIND, the exclusive 

health bar of the expo, 

will have free samples 

available for the first 500 

people attending the event. 

“We have just about 

everything, from Essential 

Oils to natural food 

stores,” said Heather 

Warthen, chief events officer 

of 22nd Century Media. 

“You can purchase local 

honey, and we have a 

variety of fitness facilities 

that will be [represented] 

there. Even taking healthy 

living a step further, we 

will have some insurance 

companies, financial planning 

and even home remodeling 

— all the different 

aspects of lifestyles.” 

Warthen said LifeSource 

also is to host a blood drive 

throughout the event. People 

can register ahead of 

time by visiting www.lifesource.org, 

or they can do 

so the day of the expo. 

There also will be free 

skin cancer screenings,

In addition to the health 

screenings, one of the expo 

stages is to be dedicated 

to free, 30-minute fitness 

classes. Planet Fitness will 

get things started from 

9-9:30 a.m., followed by a 

yoga workout led by representatives 

from Natural 

Healing Centers from 9:30- 

10 a.m. Then, Heart & Sole 

Dance is slated to lead a 

workout from 10-10:30 

a.m., followed by another 

yoga class by Natural Healing 

Centers from 11-11:30 

a.m. Heart & Sole Dance 

will return from 11:30 a.m.- 

noon, and the expo will be 

closed out by a half-hour 

with Planet Fitness. 

“It’s a really great way to 

introduce yourself to a new 

form of exercise, and you 

can do so for free,” Warthen 

said of the workout 

schedule. “These workouts 

are for any fitness level.”

The Winter 

2017 issue 

has landed. 

Secure our most thorough and 

compelling issue yet by going to 

Chicagolymag.com/subscribe today. 

A 22 nd Century Media publication 

Ingalls expands robotassisted 

surgeries to include 

partial knee replacements 

The partial knee replacement surgery 

Nicole Calmes had earlier this year was 

not her first rodeo. She had one on her left 

knee five years ago and knew the drill. 

But it was the only robotic-assisted surgery 

she ever had. In fact, it was a first 

for UChicago Medicine Ingalls, too, since 

investing in the highly advanced Mako 

robotic system. 

“It was pretty exciting,” the 46-year-old 

Lockport corrections officer said. 

Like Calmes’ other partial knee five 

years ago, orthopedic surgeon Daniel Weber, 

MD, performed this one, too, making 

him the very first surgeon to use the Mako 

system at Ingalls. 

Mako surgery is a newer approach to 

joint replacement that offers unparalleled 

accuracy when placing and aligning a 

new joint, and that translates to a longerlasting 

knee. Although the revolutionary 

technology is used only for partial knee 

replacements for now, eventually it will 

expand to total knees later this year. 

With robotic-guided precision, Mako 

allows a surgeon to carefully target and 

resurface the part of the knee damaged 

by osteoarthritis, leaving the healthy bone 

and ligaments intact. It begins with CT 

imaging of the knee before surgery that 

enables the surgeon to create a patientspecific 

plan. 

But unlike other partial knee systems 

that stop there, the Mako takes it an important 

step further. 

“The biggest advantage of the system is 

that it gives the surgeon the ability to finetune 

that plan during surgery and then execute,” 

Weber explained. 

This allows for the most precise alignment 

of the new joint, and the most natural 

fit and feel for the patient. 

The highly intelligent Mako system 

guides the surgeon within a predefined 

area, preventing movement outside the 

planned boundaries. To work properly, 

the components must be put in with extreme 

accuracy. Even a millimeter or two 

of tilt or rotation can dramatically affect 

the wear patterns and longevity of the 

components. (Think of a car out of alignment 

and how it leads to rapid tire wear.) 

“This helps provide more accurate 

placement and alignment of your implant 

and helps minimize pain after surgery,” 

Weber added. 

Other benefits include less blood loss 

during surgery and a shorter hospital stay. 

It all adds up to better outcomes for the 

patient. And for Calmes, who stands up to 

16 hours a day at her job, that is music to 

her ears. 

“I work in a prison and wear boots all 

day on a concrete floor,” the mother of 

five says. “It’s hard on the joints.” 

Especially when one has bone-on-bone 

arthritis. Before her February surgery, 

Calmes barely could walk or take the 

stairs. 

I was like a little kid, taking the stairs 

one step at a time,” she recalled. 

Once she is healed, the former high 

school track star said she looks forward to 

getting back to the gym. 

“I was able to walk on it the day after 

surgery with no problems,” she added. “I 

seem to be healing better this time, and 

the pain after surgery wasn’t as bad either. 

I’m really happy with the results so far. 

Dr. Weber is the best.”

Fitness believes how anyone works out is 

totally up to them.

fitness training programs or just do their 

own thing on the treadmill. Planet Fitness 

will cheer folks on either way — anyone

Vitality Health Systems is changing the 

health of the aging population 

Vitality Health Systems 

has been a source 

for health and healing in 

New Lenox for almost five 

years now. 

The group recently expanded 

into Schaumburg 

and is excited to be helping 

all ages of the community 

lose weight and get 

healthy. 

“I want to fight chronic 

disease in America,” said 

Davis Jaspers, founder 

and creator of the Vitalife 

program. “Obesity related 

illnesses kill more Americans 

than any other diseases. 

In fact, obesity is 

now considered to be an 

epidemic in America, with 

70 percent of the adult 

population overweight or 

obese.” 

Jaspers is quoting the 

most recent statistics put 

out on obesity by the National 

Health and Nutrition 

Examination Survey. And 

75 percent of America’s 

medical costs will be because 

of eight weightrelated 

illnesses that are 

preventable. 

Glen, for example, decided 

to do something 

about his health as he 

aged. Glen is 85 years 

old and came to Vitality 

Health Systems. 

“I wasn’t sure what I was 

getting into, but it sounded 

like it made sense,” Glen 

said of his experience during 

his initial consultation 

at Vitality. 

But afterwards, it sounds 

like he made the right decision. 

“I was blown away that 

my migraines, which I 

have had since I was in 

high school, went away after 

only two days of being 

on the Vitalife program. 

I learned how to prepare 

healthy meals at home, 

learned how to eat for my 

health and, more importantly, 

the staff at Vitality 

guided me into excellent 

health. I lost 30 pounds in 

40 days and have kept the 

weight off for over a year 

now. I am the same weight 

now as I was in 1985, and 

went from a 44 waist down 

to a 34. I have remained 

migraine-free, all because 

of the Vitalife program at 

Vitality Health Systems.” 

If you are interested in a 

life-transforming process 

and a place that prides itself 

on helping people get 

healthy in a holistic natural 

way, without drugs and 

surgery, contact Vitality 

Health Systems to find out

Mill Pond Dental comes to Mokena 

For the residents of Mokena, 

Orland Park and surrounding 

areas, modern 

dentistry is now available 

just off of 187th Street and 

Wolf Road. 

With the upcoming 

grand opening of Mill 

Pond Dental, no longer 

will a drive into Chicago 

or across Will County be 

required for superior dental 

care. 

“Having worked in the 

area for a number of years, 

we saw a need for family 

friendly, affordable, hightech 

dental services right 

here in Mokena,” said Dr. 

Eric Young, DDS. 

When asked how Mill 

Pond Dental is different 

from other practices in 

the area, Young focused 

on the fact that Mill Pond 

is equipped with the latest 

in dental technologies, offering 

gentle and thorough 

examinations, which help 

patients get a comfortable 

dental experience. 

“I’m proud when I hear 

patients say they are now 

excited or less fearful 

about coming to the dentist, 

especially when they 

have not seen a dentist in 

some time, or have had a 

bad experience with one in 

the past,” Young added. 

With the office being 

open on weekends and offering 

flexible hours, patients 

have lots of options 

when looking to schedule 

an appointment or simply 

looking to drop in. 

Young and his staff get 

high marks for customer 

service and patient care. In 

one five-star review Marilyn 

P. told us it’s because of 

her “totally amazing doctor 

that is very detailed and 

kind” and that she “loves 

the assistants, as well. Very 

welcoming from start to 

finish.” Others like Michelle 

S., in her five-star review, 

loved that “the office 

staff is well-educated and 

guided me through everything,” 

and that “Dr. Young 

is fantastic and worked 

through my fears. ... He is 

honest, up-front and has a 

gentle touch that eased this 

fearful patient.” 

Working with patients 

of all ages, Mill Pond Dental 

offers comprehensive 

dental services for every 

member of your family. 

As an exclusive special to 

new patients, Mill Pond 

Dental is offering free 

lifetime teeth whitening to 

patients through January 

with their cleaning, exam 

and X-rays. Accepting all 

PPO insurance plans and 

offering an in-house dental 

plan for those without insurance, 

Mill Pond Dental 

is trying to make sure everyone 

can afford the highquality 

modern dental care 

they deserve. The business 

encourages people to care 

for their smiles and let that 

brighten the day.

Cool Clouds tries to convert smokers to vapers 

Cool Clouds Vapor Shop offers 

a wide variety of electronic 

cigarettes and e-liquids. They cater 

to the beginner and the more 

advanced vaper. Inventory is 

constantly changing to keep up 

with the newest products and latest 

technology. 

Customer service is a priority 

at Cool Clouds. The staff will 

walk customers through everything 

needed to get started and 

are always available to help 

troubleshoot problems. Customers 

often are found striking up 

conversations, swapping tips 

and offering each other encouragement 

to quit smoking. Cool 

Clouds offers a support network 

that tobacco harm reduction advocates 

note as a leading factor 

in successful quit attempts. 

Established in 2014, Reid 

Nuttall and his wife Bridget 

Carey opened Cool Clouds Vapor 

Shop as a place for people 

to get the education and products 

that would allow them to successfully 

switch from cigarettes 

to vaping. From inception, their 

goals have been to provide quality 

products at reasonable prices 

and offer the best customer experience 

possible. They focus on 

their customer’s goals and offer 

troubleshooting, advice and a 

circle of support to those who are 

looking to quit smoking combustible 

cigarettes or find the newest 

trend in the vape market. 

After opening their first shop 

in Evergreen Park, Cool Clouds 

has been thrilled to be able to expand 

its network into the south 

suburbs. The business opened 

a second location in 2016 in 

Monee and recently relocated 

it to University Park, right off 

Interstate 57. Tinley Park is the 

third location, opening its doors 

in September of 2017. 

Reid successfully switched 

from smoking combustible 

cigarettes to vaping and has not 

looked back. After smoking for 

over 15 years, it was a hard task 

that had been attempted with all 

the commercial smoking cessation 

tools out there. Vaping was 

the first thing that worked. 

Reid and Bridget have become 

very active in the industry. They 

are true advocates for the vaping 

community, making sure that 

these harm reduction products 

are available to adult consumers. 

They know how hard it is to 

quit smoking and want to make 

sure that the person who decides 

to quit smoking five years from 

now will have the same access to 

the products that helped Reid.

Dermatology Associates offer advice to help prevent skin cancer 

While many people believe 

skin cancer is just a 

nuisance and easily treated, 

the truth is someone in 

this country dies because 

of melanoma every 54 

minutes. 

More than 4 million 

people are diagnosed and 

treated for basal cell carcinoma 

skin cancer in the 

United States every year. 

BCC patients have nearly

Melanoma is a different 

story. As with any cancer, 

early intervention is vital. 

When melanoma is treated 

in very early stages, the

melanoma has spread to

melanoma has spread 

throughout the body, has 

an expected survival rate 

of only 18 percent. The 

vast majority of skin cancer 

deaths are caused by 

melanoma. 

Sun exposure and the 

use of tanning beds and 

lights cause up to 90 percent 

of all skin cancers. 

Getting burned is even 

worse. People who have 

had more than five sunburns 

in their lifetime are 

at double the risk of developing 

melanoma. 

The first line of defense 

against skin cancer is protection. 

Year-round, parents 

should protect children 

by using a child-safe 

sunscreen with an SPF of 

30 or higher. They should 

apply frequently during 

sun exposure and after 

water play, covering all 

exposed skin including 

HEALTH &FITNESS 

CENTER 

scalps. 

Parents also should 

stand firm in protecting 

their teens’ health by 

prohibiting tanning. No 

matter what age, people 

can reduce their risk of 

skin cancer by using SPF 

30+ sunscreen each time 

they go into the sun, yearround. 

Regular self-examinations 

help identify possible 

skin cancer. In a frontfacing 

mirror and a hand 

mirror, people can carefully 

examine their entire 

bodies. They should look 

for skin growths, moles or 

marks that have changed 

in size, shape, color or texture; 

spots that itch, crust 

or bleed; and new marks 

or moles. 

Even more important 

is scheduling a skin and 

mole check with a dermatologist 

when one has 

a concern. This screening 

takes 10-20 minutes. The 

dermatologist will examine 

the patient from head 

to toe and check areas of 

concerns found in selfexaminations. 

Early detection means a 

wider range of highly effective 

treatment options. 

Depending upon the type 

and stage of cancer, a patient 

and the dermatologist 

may consider Mohs surgery, 

with a 98-99 percent 

cure rate, Superficial radiotherapy, 

with a 95 percent 

cure rate or another 

therapy. The dermatologist 

should be board-certified 

and fellowship-trained. 

Roughly 20 percent of 

Americans will develop 

skin cancer. People can 

protect themselves and 

their families by using 

sunscreen, performing 

self-exams regularly, and 

getting a skin check. Those 

diagnosed with skin cancer 

cam investigate their options 

thoroughly to determine 

the most successful 

course of treatment with a 

dermatologist.

New solutions for thyroid dysfunction, 

weight gain available from Dr. Beyer 

Tinley Park doc uses 

functional medicine 

Thyroid dysfunction and weight 

gain/management are two of the 

most challenging conditions Dr. 

Ed Beyer, Doctor of Chiropractic, 

sees patients dealing with. 

Thyroid dysfunction 

Of the many symptoms of thyroid 

disease, weight gain ranks 

among the top most common 

and frustrating. 

Many individuals experience 

symptoms of thyroid disease 

and do not even realize that the 

symptoms they are having could 

indicate thyroid disease and associated 

complications thereof. 

Many patients have been told 

their lab tests are normal, only 

to suffer with the same thyroid 

symptoms they had before they 

began hormone therapy. 

“So many patients have come 

into my office wondering — 

even though they are on thyroid 

medication, they still suffer with 

all of the symptoms of their thyroid 

condition,” Beyer said. “Or 

maybe initially they felt better 

on thyroid medication until all 

the symptoms started to come 

back. They go from doctor to 

doctor with no answers and no 

relief. They are frustrated and 

fed up, and rightfully so.” 

Traditional medicine only 

looks at one cause of low thyroid 

function and has only one remedy: 

more medication. Even in the 

world of functional medicine, attempts 

to fix thyroid function via 

supplementation are often shortsighted 

and are not looking at 

the entire picture. There are 22 

causes of low thyroid function. It 

continues to be a complex issue 

that calls for a comprehensive 

and functional approach. 

Weight management 

Like many thyroid sufferers, 

many struggling with their 

weight often are left short by 

diets, medical professionals and 

online programs. 

People grappling with weight 

management may start weightloss 

programs with the best of 

intentions, only to give up. Many 

times it is due to lack of energy, 

inability to resist the food “cravings” 

that sabotage weight loss 

or, even worse, eating what are 

supposed to be the “right” foods, 

when in actuality they are the 

wrong foods for them. Even 

worse is to lose the weight initially 

only to gain it right back. It 

is possible that these people start 

diet/exercise programs while 

still suffering from metabolic 

imbalances and chronic conditions 

they may not even know 

they have. 

Beyer states that “common 

metabolic problems that people 

may have prevent them from 

successfully and permanently 

losing fat and gaining energy. ... 

These are the hidden reasons why 

most people have trouble losing 

weight and staying healthy.” 

For these reasons, Beyer, of 

Tinley Park, has created two free, 

informative classes, “Thyroid 

Recovery” & “Metabolic Weight 

Loss”. Area residents are invited 

to Beyer’s clinic in Tinley Park 

for either one or both of these 

free classes in which participants 

are to learn the following: 

• The 22 causes of low thyroid 

function 

• The six major thyroid patterns 

• How to get to the root cause of 

low thyroid function 

• How to eliminate or even eradicate 

symptoms of low thyroid 

naturally 

• The five hidden reasons most 

people have trouble losing 

weight explained

New Lenox-based 

business works 

to make clothes 

Hidden buildup in 

clothes dryer vent 

is fire hazard 

dryers safer 

Most people know they 

need to clean out their 

dryer lint tray between 

each cycle, but what lurks 

behind the wall is just 

as important for safety 

and avoiding fire traps, 

as well as fully efficient 

dryer performance. Joe 

Enzenberger, owner 

of Dryer Vent Wizard, 

opened his New Lenoxbased 

business in 2009. 

Lint is the villain — 

lint that has been allowed 

to build up and linger too 

long in the dryer exhaust 

vent. 

It is estimated by the 

U.S. Consumer Product 

Safety Commission and 

the U.S. Fire Administration 

that 15,500 fires 

associated with clothes 

dryers occur annually. 

These fires account for 

an average of 20 deaths, 

370 injuries and more 

than $88 million in property 

damage. “Failure to 

clean the dryer vent” was 

the leading factor cited in 

U.S. Fire Administration 

reports. 

“It is something very 

few people know about or 

think about,” said Enzenberger, 

whose company 

specializes in dryer vent 

cleaning, repair, alteration 

and installation. “It 

is the leading cause of 

dryer fires.” 

Lint accumulation also 

can cause dryers to stop 

working or to work inefficiently. 

A dryer vent 

clogged with lint can add 

as much as $18-24 per 

month to energy costs. 

“Improper venting 

causes problems, as 

well,” he said. “The dryer 

exhaust duct and connections 

should be made of 

rigid metal or semi-rigid 

metal, and secured with 

metal heat-resistant tape, 

rather than duct tape. I 

often find plastic or foil 

accordion-type material, 

which can easily trap lint 

and is more susceptible to 

kinks and crushing.” 

Warning signs include: 

• Clothes are taking more 

than one cycle to dry, 

especially jeans and 

towels 

• No lint visible on lint 

screen 

• Dryer repeatedly stops 

during a cycle 

• Clothes have moldy 

smell after dry cycle 

• Clothes are very hot after 

a dry cycle 

• The top of your dryer 

hot to the touch while 

running 

• There is excess lint left 

on clothing 

“This has been a consumer-education 

process, 

but it’s hard to get the 

word out,” Enzenberger 

said. “Most don’t call 

until they have a serious 

problem with their 

dryer.” 

He suggests people 

treat clothes dryers as a 

household item in need 

of regular maintenance. 

Consumers can protect 

dryer performance and 

promote safety by cleaning 

the lint screen between 

each use, ensuring 

the connection between 

the dryer and wall is made 

of compliant material and 

remains un-kinked, and 

having the dryer exhaust 

duct cleaned regularly. 

Dryer manufacturers recommend 

inspection and 

cleaning at least annually. 

Now is a great time to 

have an inspection and 

cleaning of clothes dryers 

and dryer vent systems. 

Another important tip: 

People should never let 

their clothes dryer run 

when they are out of the 

house or asleep.

If your dryer takes longer than one cycle 

to dry your clothes, then you may have a

Local dentist does more than just clean teeth 

For Dr. Lena Halikias, 

dentistry goes far beyond 

a regular checkup and the 

occasional filling. 

She believes that going 

to the dentist and receiving 

oral care should be a comfortable 

experience for the 

patient, and one that looks 

at the whole picture when 

considering patients’ options. 

A smile is like a fingerprint, 

true and unique. Everything 

done at Perfect 

Smiles is meant to produce 

and perfect smile. Extraordinary 

dentistry, impeccable 

service. It blends 

the team, the tools and 

advanced technologies to 

deliver cutting-edge dentistry. 

Halikias is part of a team 

of seven specialists behind 

the practice Perfect Smiles, 

which recently opened its 

doors in Frankfort. 

Perfect Smiles is unique 

in its approach to oral care, 

because it is a multispecialty 

practice. 

Patients are not referred 

from specialist to specialist 

to receive the appropriate 

treatment or preventative 

care. Instead, the 

Perfect Smiles experts can 

provide general dentistry, 

periodontic, endodontic, 

orthodontic, oral surgery 

and implant services for 

the patient within the same 

practice. 

Patients can imagine 

their total dental needs 

cared for in one central 

place: general, surgical 

and cosmetic. They should 

imagine no longer bouncing 

from appointment to 

appointment. 

At Perfect Smiles, the 

team will review a case at 

one common table, sharing 

the same set of current 

diagnostics and enhancing 

the care plan. Its team of 

elite professionals will rotate 

within the offices. 

Perfect Smiles opened 

its Frankfort location recently, 

but Perfect Smiles 

also is in Oak Forest, Palos 

Park, Champaign and Elmhurst. 

There is a strong sense 

of community ingrained 

in the work that Halikias 

and the other specialists at 

Perfect Smiles do. Their 

comprehensive approach 

to oral care is part of their 

commitment to give patients 

healthy and beautiful 

smiles, so they put forth 

an effort to make these 

services accessible to the 

community. 

Halikias also participates 

in Give Back a 

Smile, a program under 

the American Academy of 

Cosmetic Dentistry that 

provides free care to victims 

of domestic and sexual 

violence by restoring 

their smiles. 

“I was a victim of domestic 

violence, and I was 

passionate about cosmetic 

dentistry,” Halikias said. “I 

have taken care of quite a 

few victims that way, so I 

thought I should give back 

in my own community.” 

Seven years ago, Halikias 

founded the Chicago 

Smile Foundation, an organization 

that provides 

free dental care to women 

in local shelters so they 

can have an easier time 

getting back to work. If 

these women have children, 

Chicago Smile Foundation 

will give them care 

free of charge, as well. 

People can be calm, content 

and confident, knowing 

this will be no common 

visit. The service they 

will receive at any of Perfect 

Smiles’ five privatelyowned 

practices, where an 

ideal fusion of talent and 

technology bring out the 

best in everyone’s smile. 

People can get a free 

consultation with Halikias 

and associates.
