<strong>Lady</strong> - A Women’s Expo to return April 21 to Tinley Park Convention Center<br />
JON DEPAOLIS<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
It is a Mother’s Day tradition<br />
unlike any other.<br />
<strong>Lady</strong> - A Women’s<br />
Expo, presented by 22nd<br />
Century Media and Planet<br />
Fitness, is set to return<br />
from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday,<br />
April 21, at the Tinley<br />
Park Convention Center,<br />
18451 Convention Center<br />
Drive in Tinley Park.<br />
The annual event also<br />
is sponsored by the Chicago<br />
Sky, Ingalls Health<br />
System and Celebrity<br />
Cruises.<br />
The free event has more<br />
than 100 vendors slated to<br />
attend this year — covering<br />
health and wellness to<br />
fashion and beauty, food<br />
to financial planning —<br />
making it the largest <strong>Lady</strong><br />
expo to date, according to<br />
Heather Warthen, chief<br />
events officer at 22nd<br />
Century Media.<br />
“The nice thing about<br />
this expo that I see year to<br />
year is that we see a lot of<br />
girls getting together and<br />
starting a ladies day out,”<br />
Warthen said. “We also<br />
draw moms, daughters<br />
and granddaughters. That’s<br />
what makes me happy. It’s<br />
a great prelude into Mother’s<br />
Day weekend and a<br />
great chance for women of<br />
all ages to bond.”<br />
Among the highlights<br />
this year will be an expanded<br />
roster of vendors,<br />
as well as entertainment<br />
options.<br />
“I think people like to<br />
see what the vendors have<br />
to offer,” Warthen said.<br />
“It’s a great opportunity,<br />
because we have an entire<br />
stage of cooking demos,<br />
which is back again this<br />
year. We have some great<br />
local chefs, and you can<br />
pick up some new cooking<br />
tips. I know that was a<br />
huge draw last year.”<br />
She also pointed to the<br />
main stage attractions,<br />
LADY – A WOMEN’S EXPO: THREE HACKS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR VISIT<br />
JON DEPAOLIS<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
A lot of people will be strolling through<br />
the aisles Saturday, April 21, for the<br />
fifth annual <strong>Lady</strong> – A Women’s Expo.<br />
We asked Heather Warthen, 22nd<br />
Century Media’s chief events officer<br />
and resident expert expo authority, for<br />
some “hacks” for those who plan to<br />
attend, so they can make best use of<br />
their time there.<br />
1. Scout ahead: Take a look at the<br />
event’s Eventbrite webpage before<br />
you head to the convention center.<br />
It will have the full list of vendors,<br />
an event schedule for the fitness<br />
classes, cooking demos and main<br />
stage entertainment. Map out some<br />
things you definitely want to do and<br />
such as Danni Allen —<br />
the winner of Season 14<br />
of “The Biggest Loser”<br />
— and plenty free fitness<br />
classes, including cardio<br />
and yoga.<br />
Also returning to the<br />
expo this year is Silk Avenue,<br />
from whom attendees<br />
can purchase custommade<br />
scarves.<br />
“We’ve got something<br />
for everybody,” Warthen<br />
said. “There’s plenty to<br />
do, and I think people<br />
like seeing the variety of<br />
vendors we get. It’s not all<br />
clothing or food or home<br />
remodeling or repairs; we<br />
really do try to bring in<br />
a variety that people will<br />
enjoy.”<br />
New this year will be<br />
Tracy DeGraaf, who authored<br />
the 2010 book,<br />
“Laugh Anyway Mom:<br />
Hilarious Survival Stories<br />
From a Mother of Five<br />
Who Has Learned How<br />
to Keep the Joy in Motherhood<br />
and How You Can<br />
Too.”<br />
Also new this year will<br />
be a couple of mobile<br />
boutiques, such as Coash<br />
Clothing Company and<br />
Three B’s Mobile Boutique.<br />
LifeSource also will<br />
be sponsoring blood and<br />
bone marrow drives during<br />
the expo. Appointments<br />
may be made in<br />
advance by calling (877)<br />
543-3768 or visiting<br />
www.LifeSource.org.<br />
Free gift bags also will<br />
be given to the first 500<br />
people through the doors.<br />

2. Arrive early to get some swag: Have<br />
you ever heard the expression, “The<br />
early bird gets the worm?” Well, in<br />
this case, early arrivers have the<br />
best chance at receiving a free gift<br />
bag. There only are 500 of these<br />
bad boys, so the closer you arrive<br />
to 9 a.m., the better your chance to<br />
pick one up.<br />
3. Be a trendsetter; go against the<br />
flow: Warthen says that oftentimes,<br />
expogoers tend to follow a similar<br />
path through the aisles, leading<br />
to some congestion at certain<br />
spots. One way to avoid that? Be a<br />
trailblazer and walk in the opposite<br />
direction, by working from the back<br />
to the front.<br />

TheraCORE Physical Therapy provides a<br />
comforting, personalized patient experience<br />
Do people know they<br />
have a choice where they<br />
can attend physical therapy?<br />
Doctors refer their patients<br />
every day to outpatient<br />
physical therapy for musculoskeletal<br />
injuries, aches<br />
and pains, balance deficits<br />
and even vestibular issues.<br />
Most of the time patients<br />
assume they have to go to<br />
the physical therapist clinic<br />
in the doctor’s building or<br />
the clinic closest to home.<br />
There is a wide variety of<br />
care available from physician-owned<br />
clinics to large<br />
corporate chains to private<br />
physical therapist-owned<br />
clinics.<br />
There is a choice!<br />
Choosing the right physical<br />
therapist is critical to<br />
recovery. It may be helpful<br />
to seek referrals from<br />
friends or family members<br />
that have had successful<br />
outcomes. Word of mouth<br />
referrals are sometimes the<br />
best.<br />
People should spend at<br />
least one hour a visit with<br />
a physical therapist two<br />
to three times per week.<br />
Personality is important!<br />
People want a physical<br />
therapist with whom they<br />
can clearly communicate,<br />
one who spends quality<br />
time with them and pushes<br />
them to achieve their goals.<br />
Feel free to interview the<br />
physical therapist prior to<br />
the first visit to see if you<br />
are a match.<br />
Credentials are equally<br />
important. Make sure a<br />
licensed physical therapist<br />
is doing the treatment<br />
and use the same therapist<br />
each visit to ensure quality<br />
care. Many physical<br />
therapists can specialize<br />
through continuing education<br />
in a variety of services<br />
and can be board certified<br />
in orthopedics, sports, and<br />
neurology, to name a few.<br />
Always question what the<br />
physical therapist’s experience<br />
level is when it comes<br />
to a specific injury.<br />
Ask what insurances<br />
are not only “accephysical<br />
therapisted” but innetwork<br />
with the company.<br />
People should ask for<br />
their benefits to be fully<br />
explained and in writing<br />
before beginning treatment.<br />
If one’s insurance<br />
has a high out-of-pocket<br />
cost, ask if there are selfpay<br />
rates available. People<br />
don’t want to be stuck with<br />
a surprise bill.<br />
Doing a little research<br />
before beginning treatment<br />
can lead to a faster road to<br />
recovery and a better overall<br />
outcome. Successful<br />
physical therapy can help<br />
avoid surgery and prevent<br />
future injury.<br />
“It’s your physical<br />
therapy, it’s your decision<br />
has” been our motto since<br />
we opened 10 years ago.<br />
TheraCORE strives to provide<br />
the best personalized<br />
experience for our patients<br />
in an environment that encourages<br />
overall wellness.<br />
The next time physical<br />
therapy services are needed,<br />
choose TheraCORE<br />
and let us prove how we<br />
stand apart.<br />

Ask Cary: Parenting parents with Alzheimer’s disease<br />
Here’s a question: Gradually<br />
I’m becoming a parent for my<br />
parent; is it normal to feel anxious<br />
and overwhelmed?<br />
The answer? Yes, it’s very<br />
normal to be anxious, feel<br />
guilty and feel overwhelmed.<br />
In this new role you will have<br />
many feelings that you will<br />
work through. Many families<br />
find it helpful to seek support,<br />
education and sharing with others<br />
in the same situation.<br />
This is a journey that will<br />
evolve and change day to day<br />
as the disease progresses. You<br />
are joining your parent on this<br />
journey and the more you understand<br />
it the easier it will be,<br />
not only for yourself but for<br />
your loved one as well.<br />

Jack Gibbons Gardens all about traditions, not trends<br />
Jack Gibbons Gardens<br />
does not follow trends.<br />
Diners are not going<br />
to witness Happy Hours<br />
or Margarita Mondays at<br />
Jack Gibbons.<br />
That is because Jack<br />
Gibbons focuses on what<br />
really matters: great food<br />
and even better company.<br />
The restaurant reportedly<br />
has customers who say<br />
they have not been there<br />
for 25-30 years but come<br />
back and it is just the way<br />
they remember it.<br />
Jack Gibbons Gardens<br />
— or Gibbons, as the<br />
regulars call it — opened<br />
in 1922 as a speakeasy.<br />
Although times have<br />
changed drastically since<br />
then, the restaurant itself<br />
has not. From the<br />
red leather booths to the<br />
wood-paneled walls, Jack<br />
Gibbons is truly timeless.<br />
In a time where chain<br />
restaurants are on every<br />
corner, Gibbons has become<br />
even more special<br />
and unique. From the second<br />
a diner sits and is instantly<br />
delivered delicious<br />
warm bread, three-bean<br />
salad and coleslaw, before<br />
even a glance at the menu,<br />
it is easy to know one is<br />
about to have one of the<br />
best meals of his or her<br />
life. From surf and turf to<br />
fried chicken, Gibbons has<br />
something to satisfy any<br />
craving.<br />
Gibbons has been described<br />
as a “generational<br />
place” that sees everyone<br />
from grandfathers and fathers<br />
to their grandchildren<br />
who dine there.<br />
A secret to that success<br />
is that the restaurant’s staff<br />
does not experience the<br />
type of turnover seen in<br />
some chain restaurants. Its<br />
employees have worked<br />
there for years, striving<br />
for a “Cheers” vibe<br />
with which the bartender<br />
knows the customers,<br />
what they’re having, and<br />
the friends they bring with<br />
them.<br />

UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial<br />
helps nurse through knee replacement<br />
Katherine Krol is a lady who<br />
doesn’t have much time to put up<br />
her feet. She keeps an eye on her<br />
92-year-old mother and keeps in<br />
touch with the activities of her<br />
sister, her adult children and four<br />
grandchildren regularly.<br />
Recently widowed, Katherine<br />
also works as a registered nurse.<br />
So, when her right knee started<br />
hurting nine years ago, she powered<br />
through the pain and sought<br />
some initial treatment, but the<br />
pain returned and was soon intolerable.<br />
“Every time I walked, I had<br />
pain,” Katherine said.<br />
It hurt to walk down the hallway<br />
when her patients needed<br />
something and when her grandkids<br />
would say, ‘Nana, come do<br />
this,’ she couldn’t.<br />
A friend recommended Phil<br />
Nigro, MD, an orthopedic surgeon<br />
with offices in Tinley Park,<br />
Flossmoor and Calumet City, all<br />
affiliated with UChicago Medicine<br />
Ingalls Memorial. Dr. Nigro<br />
performed her friend’s knee<br />
replacement and she loved his<br />
bedside manner.<br />
Dr. Nigro said Katherine’s<br />
knee was bone-on-bone, meaning<br />
the cartilage had completely<br />
worn away between the bone<br />
ends. Katherine was ready to get<br />
the problem solved.<br />
She had knee replacement surgery<br />
in November, in a procedure<br />
called kinematic alignment,<br />
which Dr. Nigro brought into his<br />
practice in the last two years. It<br />
allows the knee joint bones to be<br />
resurfaced without cutting ligaments<br />
around the knee.<br />
“This is a more natural knee<br />
replacement that allows people<br />
to recover more quickly,” Dr.<br />
Nigro said.<br />

Katherine went into surgery<br />
prep at 7 a.m. and was back in<br />
her room by 10 a.m. “They had<br />
me up and walking at 2:30,” she<br />
said.<br />
Dr. Nigro released Katherine<br />
the next day. Though she wasn’t<br />
able to host Thanksgiving, she<br />
gave up her walker the very next<br />
day, urged by her daughter.<br />
“I needed that scolding,” she<br />
said. “It was scary.”<br />
The first day back at work<br />
Katherine parked on the garage’s<br />
second floor. She cringed, remembering<br />
the pain she used<br />
to have climbing the stairs. Not<br />
anymore, though.<br />
“It was so nice not to have any<br />
pain,” she said.<br />

Dr. Finkelstein provides estrogen-free vaginal restoration<br />
To many women, natural<br />
is better.<br />
We are buying more<br />
foods free of chemicals<br />
and pesticides, skincare<br />
products free of synthetic<br />
fragrances and cleaning<br />
supplies without phthalates.<br />
This belief also translates<br />
to how women care<br />
for themselves post-menopause.<br />
Women are looking<br />
for safe, natural ways to<br />
combat the effects of their<br />
changing bodies.<br />
For anyone who has<br />
been through it, menopause<br />
has many side effects.<br />
Some are commonly<br />
discussed, such as hot<br />
flashes, changes in mood<br />
and night sweats. One of<br />
the most common side effects<br />
isn’t being discussed<br />
enough, and that is vaginal<br />
atrophy. Vaginal atrophy<br />
is vaginal dryness, itching,<br />
burning and pain with<br />
intercourse. According to<br />
the American Academy of<br />
Family Physicians, up to<br />
40 percent of post-menopausal<br />
women have atrophic<br />
vaginitis or vaginal<br />
atrophy. With nearly 64<br />
million post-menopausal<br />

patients, many women are<br />
suffering.<br />
“These symptoms greatly<br />
impact a woman’s quality<br />
of life,” said Dr. Kenneth<br />
Finkelstein, founder<br />
of Women’s Healthcare of<br />
Illinois in Mokena and Evergreen<br />
Park. “As someone<br />
who has taken care<br />
of women for over twenty<br />
years, I have watched<br />
countless patients live with<br />
discomfort and struggle<br />
with intimacy; it’s unacceptable.<br />
Many women<br />
don’t want to or cannot<br />
use estrogen creams. Now<br />
there is a natural, FDA-approved<br />
treatment for vaginal<br />
atrophy.<br />
Vaginal restoration<br />
performed at Women’s<br />
Healthcare of Illinois, is<br />
an estrogen-free treatment<br />
for vaginal atrophy.<br />
Performed in the office,<br />
without the need for anesthesia<br />
and with virtually<br />
no pain or side effects, a<br />
gentle fractional CO2 laser<br />
restores vaginal health by<br />
generating new collagen<br />
and elastin in the vaginal<br />
wall tissue. There are<br />
three treatments spaced<br />
six weeks apart, and each<br />
treatment is less than five<br />
minutes.<br />
“After living with vaginal<br />
atrophy for nearly<br />
three decades due to a hysterectomy<br />
with a bilateral<br />
salpingo-oophorectomy,<br />
(removal of the uterus, fallopian<br />
tubes and ovaries)<br />
in my mid 30s, I had all but<br />
given up on pain-free intimacy<br />
with my husband,”<br />
said Susan Schreffler, a<br />
patient of Dr. Finkelstein.<br />
“I have a history of<br />
breast cancer in my family,<br />
and I decided estrogen<br />
cream was not an option<br />
for me. I only wanted a<br />

hormone-free treatment.<br />
I had little to lose and<br />
scheduled a free consultation<br />
with Dr. Finkelstein.<br />
During the appointment,<br />
Dr. Finkelstein answered<br />
all my questions and<br />
made me feel comfortable.<br />
I decided to get my<br />
first treatment at my consultation.<br />
I was amazed<br />
by the results. After my<br />
first treatment I felt relief.<br />
I have now completed all<br />
three treatments and I can<br />
say for the first time in 30<br />
years I am not suffering<br />
from vaginal atrophy.”<br />
“Unlike hot flashes, insomnia<br />
and night sweats,<br />
vaginal atrophy remains<br />
after a women’s transition<br />
through menopause is<br />
complete. It is gratifying<br />
to offer patients a natural,<br />
hormone-free solution,”<br />

Smile<br />
make a statement?<br />
The smile is so important that it has been<br />
mentioned to be sure to smile and smile often<br />
in some of the most well regarded business<br />
books of our time. People judge us by our teeth<br />
and smiles. Those with a bright smile often<br />
appear healthier, happier, more approachable<br />
and more trustworthy.<br />

Planet Fitness offers judgment-free workout environment<br />
We at Planet Fitness are<br />
here to provide a unique<br />
environment in which<br />
anyone — and we mean<br />
anyone — can be comfortable.<br />
We offer a diverse,<br />
judgment-free zone where<br />
a lasting, active lifestyle<br />
can be built. Our product<br />
is a tool, a means to an<br />
end; not a brand name or a<br />
mold-maker, but a tool that<br />
can be used by anyone. In<br />
the end, it’s all about you.<br />
As we evolve and educate<br />
ourselves, we will see to<br />
perfect safe, energetic environment,<br />
where everyone<br />
feels accepted and respected.<br />
We are not here to<br />
kiss your butt, only to kick<br />
it if that’s what you need.<br />
So, make yourself comfy.<br />
Because we’re judgment<br />
free. It doesn’t matter<br />
if your legs have never<br />
seen a squat machine before.<br />
We believe how you<br />
work out is totally up to<br />
you. Take advantage of our<br />
unlimited fitness training<br />
programs or just do your<br />
own thing on the treadmill.<br />
We’ll cheer you on either<br />
way — if you’re in our<br />
house you deserve a little<br />
cred just for being here.<br />
We believe no one should<br />
ever feel Gym-timidated<br />
by lunky behavior and that<br />
everyone should feel at<br />
ease in our gyms, no matter<br />
what his or her workout<br />
goals are. And everyone<br />
should have access to lots<br />
of nice new equipment and<br />
feel comfortable asking for<br />
help. With all of these great<br />
benefits under one roof, we<br />
like to say: “We’re not a<br />
gym. We’re Planet Fitness.<br />
The Judgment Free Zone.”<br />
Planet Fitness is known<br />
for a lot of things — our<br />
low prices (and all the stuff<br />
you get for those low prices),<br />
our Lunk Alarm, and of<br />
course, our judgment-free<br />
zone. We’re fiercely protective<br />
of our Planet and<br />
the rights of our members<br />
to feel like they belong. So,<br />
we create an environment<br />
where you can relax, go<br />
at your own pace and just<br />
do your own thing without<br />
ever having to worry about<br />
being judged. This is your<br />
Planet. You belong.<br />

breathtaking scenery and<br />
wildlife. They’ll spend two<br />
