Evergreen Senior Living brings peace and<br />
joy to those with memory loss<br />
Clients are no longer<br />
alone in caring for their<br />
loved one with Alzheimer’s,<br />
dementia, or other<br />
types of memory loss. At<br />
the Legacy: Memory Care,<br />
a team of trained caregivers<br />
offers personalized<br />
care and a unique approach<br />
to caring for seniors with<br />
memory loss.<br />
Legacy Living means<br />
that clients are making<br />
sure that their loved one<br />
is cared for in the best<br />
way possible based on<br />
their needs. When clients<br />
choose Legacy Living,<br />
they’re fulfilling the promise<br />
they made to care for<br />
their loved one.<br />
At the Legacy, each day<br />
gently unfolds, taking into<br />
account each senior’s preferences<br />
and comfort levels.<br />
The person-centered<br />
programming promotes<br />
socialization during a time<br />
that can feel incredibly<br />
isolating. The staff, who<br />
come in each day refreshed<br />
and revitalized, take care<br />
of the day-to-day tasks so<br />
clients can go back to their<br />
favorite role in their loved<br />
one’s life – family.<br />
This unique approach<br />
works in tandem with the<br />
building, which has been<br />
created to strategically cater<br />
to residents with memory<br />
loss. Every detail at the<br />
Legacy: Memory Care has<br />
been designed with clients’<br />
loved ones in mind.<br />
Walking paths are a continuous<br />
figure eight, so<br />
residents can always find<br />
their way to their destination.<br />
Customized memory<br />
boxes hang outside of<br />
rooms help residents know<br />
they’re home. Bathrooms<br />
are set at an angle in the<br />
apartments so that residents<br />
have a clear idea of<br />
how to enter and exit;<br />
kitchen/dining areas are<br />
built for smaller groups,<br />
which leads to less noise<br />
and interruptions and more<br />
individualized attention.<br />
For more than 55 years,<br />
the Heritage family of senior<br />
living campuses has<br />
been caring for seniors in<br />
various stages of life and<br />
health. In that time, Heritage<br />
has learned the best<br />
ways to care for those with<br />
memory loss and has combined<br />
the most effective<br />
methods for its unique approach,<br />
called Life Unrehearsed.<br />
It allows seniors<br />
in Heritage’s care to live<br />
life at their comfort level,<br />
with each day full of peace<br />
and joy.<br />
Evergreen Senior Living<br />
in Orland Park is a<br />
community where independence<br />
thrives and compassionate<br />
care is always<br />
present.<br />

Physician loses 87 pounds<br />
and shatters weight-loss<br />
surgery stigma<br />
BMI surgery at<br />
Silver Cross helps<br />
physician enhance<br />
her life<br />
As a physician, Kathleen<br />
Slugocki, D.O., felt a<br />
societal stigma existed toward<br />
weight loss surgery.<br />
But after having laparoscopic<br />
sleeve gastrectomy<br />
surgery in October 2016<br />
with BMI Surgery at Silver<br />
Cross Hospital and<br />
losing 87 pounds, the obstetrician/gynecologist’s<br />
view has changed.<br />
“Through BMI Surgery’s<br />
bariatric surgery<br />
program, I learned that I<br />
wasn’t a failure to have<br />
weight loss surgery, because<br />
the surgery is a tool<br />
that I needed to succeed in<br />
losing weight,” she said.<br />
“As I was approaching<br />
40, I noticed more people<br />
around me, who struggled<br />
to lose weight, found help<br />
through weight loss surgery.<br />
I too was having difficulty<br />
losing weight and<br />
was fearful that diabetes<br />
and high blood pressure<br />
was in my future since I<br />
have a family history of<br />
those conditions.”<br />
Today Dr. Slugocki not<br />
only has more stamina to<br />
keep up with her two small<br />
children but she is also<br />
free of any foot or knee<br />
pain. She works out four to<br />
five days a week and even<br />
completed a 10K race last<br />
summer. And as a surgeon<br />
in an active specialty, she<br />
has more energy than ever<br />
when meeting the demands<br />
of a busy on-call schedule.<br />
“I am so grateful to Dr.<br />
Christopher Joyce, his<br />
staff and all the nurses at<br />
Silver Cross Hospital who<br />
thoughtfully guided me<br />
through the program,” she<br />
said. “Weight loss surgery<br />
has profoundly improved<br />
my life both personally<br />
and professionally. I just<br />
want to spread the word<br />
to others how positive the<br />
procedure and nutritional<br />
and fitness program can be<br />
to helping live a healthier<br />
life.”<br />
Weight loss<br />
surgery process<br />
BMI Surgery has<br />
changed the lives of more<br />
than 6,000 patients with<br />
life-changing surgeries,<br />
including laparoscopic<br />
gastric bypass, laparoscopic<br />
sleeve gastrectomy<br />
and Lap-Band gastric band<br />
systems at Silver Cross<br />
Hospital.<br />

the bariatric surgery program<br />

session on both<br />
traditional and laparoscopic<br />

trip has delightful morning<br />
experiences, including<br />
the group crossing<br />
Nantucket Sound by ferry<br />

The little villages<br />
and town each come with<br />
their own personality and<br />

the sites, such as the Oak<br />
Bluffs and famous lighthouses.<br />
Back on the mainland,<br />

Stem cell therapy now<br />
available in Tinley Park<br />
Dr. Ed Beyer of Beyer Natural Health<br />
Solutions has partnered with Dr. Scott<br />
Hanlon, D.O. of Little Company of Mary<br />
Hospital and Predictive Biotech labs to<br />
offer FDA-regulated human umbilical<br />
cord stem cells to patients suffering from<br />
chronic degenerative arthritis, osteoarthritis<br />
and rheumatoid arthritis that can<br />
cause debilitating pain in the following<br />
areas: knees, hips, neck and lower back,<br />
shoulders, elbows, hands and feet.<br />
Dr. Beyer has been practicing functional<br />
medicine in Tinley Park for more<br />
than 30 years. When asked why he decided<br />
to venture into stem cells he said, “I<br />
have had my eye on the potential of stem<br />
cells to regenerate broken down joints<br />
ever since my father passed away from<br />
the consequences of an FDA-approved<br />
drug he was taking for arthritic pain. At<br />
that time stem cells were in their infancy<br />
stages. With the advancement of research,<br />
that is no longer the case. Now, when it<br />
comes to proper, and I emphasize proper,<br />
stem cell therapy for regeneration of arthritic<br />
joints, there is simply no better option.<br />
Research now confirms this, and we<br />
are seeing it on a daily basis in our clinic.<br />
People with ‘bone on bone’ joints and told<br />
they need surgical replacement are finding<br />
relief and avoidance of surgery with<br />
proper stem cell injections.”<br />
He went on to say that even Mayo Clinic<br />
uses stem cell and regenerative medicine.<br />
He further stated that “the future of<br />
joint repair is here now.”<br />
Dr. Beyer and Dr. Hanlon know that<br />
there exists a lot of false information and<br />
misunderstanding when it comes to stem<br />
cells. For this reason, Dr. Beyer is holding<br />
free informational seminars in the area<br />
that answer the following questions:<br />
• What do science and research say about<br />
what stem cells can help and what can’t<br />
they help?<br />
• Is the FDA involved in stem cell therapy?<br />
• Which type of stem cells should be used<br />
to regenerate arthritic joints?<br />
• Are there any dangers to stem cell therapy?<br />
• Does insurance cover this type of therapy?<br />
• What kind of results can be expected,<br />
and how long will they last if I am a<br />
good candidate for stem cell therapy?<br />
These one-hour seminars are being offered<br />
free of charge at the following<br />
times and locations:<br />
• 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, in Geneva<br />

Utilizing the buddy system to stay healthy<br />
Publisher 22CM aims<br />
to help readers keep<br />
resolutions with Healthy<br />
Living Expo<br />
Will O’Brien, Freelance Reporter<br />
For the millions of Americans<br />
who make — and break — New<br />
Year’s resolutions to get healthier,<br />
the struggle often comes down<br />
to a lack of support.<br />
That will not be an issue at<br />
22nd Century Media’s Healthy<br />
Living Expo, where nearly 1,000<br />
attendees from across the southwest<br />
suburbs are expected to take<br />
in a full day of fitness with 67<br />
vendors, seven workout sessions<br />
and eight inspirational speakers.<br />
The free event, now in its third<br />
year and set for 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday,<br />
Jan. 19, at the Tinley Park<br />
Convention Center, was created<br />
with resolution-makers in mind,<br />
said Heather Warthen, the publishing<br />
company’s chief events<br />
officer.<br />
“The expo really ties in nicely<br />
with New Year’s and people<br />
wanting to shift away from all the<br />
indulgences of the holiday season,”<br />
Warthen said. “It’s a great<br />
way to hit reset.”<br />
With more vendors than in<br />
years past, the expo will give attendees<br />
the opportunity to interact<br />
with businesses and organizations<br />
representing the full spectrum of<br />
the healthy-living world — and<br />
then some. Gyms, dietitians,<br />
physical therapists, spas, health<br />
care providers, and professionals<br />
in finance, fashion, home remodeling,<br />
and travel will all be represented.<br />
Groups conducting health<br />
screenings also will be on-hand.<br />
The first 300 guests are to receive<br />
free tote bags, while the<br />
first 500 are to get product sam-<br />

Cool Clouds aims to help customers quit smoking<br />
Cool Clouds Vapor Shop offers a wide<br />
variety of electronic cigarettes and e-liquids.<br />
They specialize in finding the right<br />
fit for adult smokers looking for an alternative<br />
to combustible tobacco cigarettes.<br />
The inventory is constantly changing to<br />
keep up with the latest technology, and<br />
they offer a tester bar with more than 150<br />
flavors to choose from. Most recently,<br />
Cool Clouds has added CBD products to<br />
their shelves. CBD products come in a<br />
variety of applications including e-liquids<br />
and topical balms and are used to manage<br />
pain, inflammation, anxiety and stress.<br />
Established in 2014, Reid Nuttall and<br />
his wife Bridget Carey opened Cool<br />
Clouds Vapor Shop as a place for people<br />
to get the education and products that<br />
would allow them to successfully switch<br />
from cigarettes to vaping. From inception,<br />

their goals have been to provide quality<br />
products at reasonable prices and offer the<br />
best customer experience possible.<br />
After opening their first shop at 3837 W.<br />
95th St. in Evergreen Park, Cool Clouds<br />
has been thrilled to be able to expand its<br />
network into the south suburbs. Customers<br />
can now find Cool Clouds Vapor Shop<br />
at 7899 W. 159th St. in Tinley Park between<br />
Fishing Connection and Rocco’s<br />
Little Italy and at 1303 Hamilton Ave.<br />
in University Park, located between the<br />
truck stops on Manhattan Monee Road.<br />
Customer service is a priority at Cool<br />
Clouds. A team member will walk customers<br />
through everything needed to get<br />
started, and they are always ready to help<br />
troubleshoot problems customers may<br />
run into. Customers can often be found<br />
striking up conversations, swapping tips<br />
and offering each other encouragement to<br />
quit smoking. Cool Clouds offers a support<br />
network that tobacco harm reduction<br />
advocates note as a leading factor in successful<br />
quit attempts.<br />
Reid successfully switched from smoking<br />
combustible cigarettes to vaping<br />
and has not looked back. After smoking<br />
for over 15 years, it was a hard task that<br />
had been attempted multiple times with<br />
no luck. Vaping was the first thing that<br />
worked.<br />
Reid and Bridget have become very active<br />
in their industry. They are true advocates<br />
for the vaping community, making<br />
sure that these harm reduction products<br />
are available to adult consumers. They<br />
know how hard it is to quit smoking and<br />
want to make sure that the person that decides<br />
they want to quit smoking five years<br />
from now will have the same access to the<br />
products that helped Reid.<br />

New Lenox-based<br />
business works to make<br />
clothes dryers safer<br />
Hidden buildup in clothes<br />
dryer vent can be fire hazard<br />
DON’T LET YOUR DRYER<br />
START A<br />
FIRE!<br />
Most people know they need to clean<br />
out their dryer lint tray between each<br />
cycle, but what lurks behind the wall is<br />
just as important for safety and avoiding<br />
fire traps, as well as fully efficient dryer<br />
performance. Joe Enzenberger, owner<br />
of Dryer Vent Wizard, opened his New<br />
Lenox-based business in 2009.<br />
Lint is the villain — lint that has been<br />
allowed to build up and linger too long in<br />
the dryer exhaust vent.<br />
It is estimated by the U.S. Consumer<br />
Product Safety Commission and the U.S.<br />
Fire Administration that 15,500 fires associated<br />
with clothes dryers occur annually.<br />
These fires account for an average of<br />
20 deaths, 370 injuries and more than $88<br />
million in property damage. “Failure to<br />
clean the dryer vent” was the leading factor<br />
cited in U.S. Fire Administration reports.<br />
“It is something very few people know<br />
about or think about,” said Enzenberger,<br />
whose company specializes in dryer vent<br />
cleaning, repair, alteration and installation.<br />
“It is the leading cause of dryer<br />
fires.”<br />
Lint accumulation also can cause dryers<br />
to stop working or to work inefficiently.<br />
A dryer vent clogged with lint can add as<br />
much as $18 to $24 per month to energy<br />
costs.<br />
“Improper venting causes problems,<br />
as well,” Enzenberger said. “The dryer<br />
exhaust duct and connections should be<br />
made of rigid metal or semi-rigid metal<br />
and secured with metal heat-resistant tape<br />
rather than duct tape. I often find plastic<br />
or foil accordion-type material, which can<br />
easily trap lint and is more susceptible to<br />
kinks and crushing.”<br />
Warning signs include:<br />
• Clothes are taking more than one cycle<br />
to dry, especially jeans and towels.<br />
• No lint visible on lint screen.<br />
• Dryer repeatedly stops during a cycle.<br />
• Clothes have moldy smell after dry cycle.<br />
• Clothes are very hot after a dry cycle.<br />
• The top of your dryer hot to the touch<br />
while running.<br />
• There is excess lint left on clothing.<br />
“This has been a consumer education<br />
process, but it’s hard to get the word out,”<br />
Enzenberger said. “Most don’t call until<br />
they have a serious problem with their<br />
dryer.”<br />
He suggests people treat clothes dryers<br />
as a household item in need of regular<br />
maintenance. Consumers can protect<br />
dryer performance and promote safety<br />
by cleaning the lint screen between each<br />
use, ensuring the connection between the<br />
dryer and wall is made of compliant material<br />
and remains un-kinked, and having<br />
the dryer exhaust duct cleaned regularly.<br />
Dryer manufacturers recommend inspection<br />
and cleaning at least annually.<br />
Now that the holidays are over, it is<br />
a great time to have an inspection and<br />
cleaning of clothes dryers and dryer vent<br />
systems.<br />
Another important tip for dryer users:<br />
to never let the clothes dryer run when<br />
they are out of the house or asleep.<br />

Gloria J. Yorke’s ‘Medical Manslaughter’ book available now<br />
“Medical Manslaughter<br />
- Will Your Doctor Cause<br />
Your Death?” is the latest<br />
five-star blockbuster, published<br />
by best-selling author<br />
Gloria J. Yorke.<br />
Based on her true story,<br />
it reduplicates the horror<br />
of Yorke’s husband’s untimely<br />
death, due to doctor<br />
error. It was written as<br />
fiction, whereas all names<br />
of parties involved were<br />
changed in order to avoid<br />
legal ramifications, including<br />
the name of her husband<br />
and herself.<br />
“Everything else in the<br />
story is true,” Yorke confirmed.<br />
According to the 2016<br />
reports in the British Medical<br />
Journal and Johns Hopkins<br />
University, the number<br />
of patient deaths are<br />
between 250,000-400,000<br />
each year, because of doctors<br />
making mistakes. A<br />
secret epidemic by anyone’s<br />
calculation!<br />
“‘Medical Manslaughter’<br />
is an entertaining superabundance<br />
of information<br />
that everyone needs<br />
to know,” Yorke stated. “It<br />
will save your life.”<br />
Whether you or a loved<br />
one are seeing a doctor<br />
presently, it is possible that<br />
you may be hospitalized,<br />
or admitted to a nursing<br />
home, at sometime in your<br />
life. With this in mind,<br />
Yorke outlines the importance<br />
of being a superior<br />
advocate for yourself, and<br />
especially for the patient in<br />
the bed — useful information,<br />
given in this regard,<br />
is priceless.<br />
Yorke urges you to<br />
choose an advocate while<br />
you are healthy. Don’t wait<br />
until you are severely ill, to<br />
ask someone to be your advocate.<br />
It may be too late at<br />
that point. Ask your advocate<br />
if they will visit everyday<br />
and check on you.<br />
“Medical Manslaughter”<br />
teaches you to check<br />
the patient for rashes or<br />
any adverse effects from<br />
medicines given. Discuss<br />
updates with the floor nurse<br />
and definitely speak directly,<br />
face to face, with the<br />
doctor, at least once a week.<br />
While visiting, ask about<br />
new medicines being administered<br />
and the reason.<br />
Always keep in mind the<br />
medicines to which the patient<br />
is allergic.<br />
“Medical Manslaughter”<br />
also provides tips on<br />
bringing someone out of<br />
a coma, which Yorke did,<br />
even though doctors said it<br />
would never happen.<br />
“Medical Manslaughter”<br />
intertwines spiritually,<br />
and the reader will be in<br />
awe regarding the six miracles<br />
that occurred. It also<br />
includes a “Never Found<br />
to Fail Prayer” to The<br />
Blessed Mother. Catholic<br />
or not, it works!<br />
Lastly, “Medical Manslaughter”<br />
proves to the<br />
reader that there is life<br />
after death! Believe in the<br />
supernatural, for it is real.<br />
Your deceased loved ones<br />
are not gone!<br />
Yorke is an advanced<br />
tarot reader, and has been<br />
a clairaudient, clairvoyant<br />
and spiritual channeler<br />
since childhood, communicating<br />
with deceased<br />
spirits at will.<br />
Yes, her husband has<br />
given her insight as to<br />
what happens after we die,<br />
and Yorke has revealed<br />
his channeled messages in<br />
“Medical Manslaughter.”<br />
In reading “Medical<br />
Manslaughter,” Yorke<br />
promises that, “you will<br />
be enlightened, frightened<br />
and blown away!”<br />

We believe how you<br />
work out is totally up to<br />
you.<br />

unlimited fitness training<br />
programs or just do your<br />
own thing on the treadmill.<br />
We’ll cheer you on either<br />

zone. We’re<br />
fiercely protective of our<br />
Planet and the rights of our<br />

“The first year we did this, I<br />
wasn’t sure if people would work<br />
out, or what the response would<br />
be,” Warthen said. “But people<br />
actually got really into it, and the<br />
classes are always one of the biggest<br />
draws.”<br />
The Healthy Living Expo, like<br />
all 22nd Century Media events,<br />
is designed as an opportunity for<br />
community members and business<br />
owners to interact, with both sides<br />
benefitting from the exchange,<br />
Warthen explained.<br />
“It’s an opportunity for folks to<br />
come in and check out a bunch of<br />
things that can better their lives,<br />
and we’re able to do it at no charge<br />
because of our great vendors,” she<br />
said.<br />
This year’s speakers include<br />
chef Tim Baran of the Joliet Junior<br />
College Culinary Arts program, dietitian<br />
Kimberly Kramer of UChicago<br />
Medicine and fitness blogger<br />
Lori Wilson. “Biggest Loser” Season<br />
14 winner Danni Allen, an annual<br />
expo fixture, will wrap up the<br />
speaking program after leading a<br />
fitness class earlier in the day.<br />
“She’s one of the most energetic<br />
people you’ll meet,” Warthen<br />
said. “She always does a great job<br />
speaking, and people who participate<br />
in her fitness class can hear<br />
even more about her journey and<br />
her tips for staying healthy. Definitely<br />
a good person to give you<br />
some inspiration.”<br />

New technology helps UChicago<br />
Medicine Ingalls treat patients<br />
Whoever coined the<br />
phrase Luck of the Irish<br />
must have had Pat Gleason,<br />
of Beverly, in mind.<br />
A 74-years-young man, he<br />
has survived a three-story<br />
fall as a Chicago police officer<br />
and two hip replacements<br />
and now manages<br />
his family landscaping<br />
business. But last Christmas<br />
season, in the middle<br />
of a plow job, he tossed a<br />
bag of sand onto the back<br />
of his truck, felt a horrendous<br />
pain, fell and later<br />
awoke to find himself flat<br />
on his back in the snow. He<br />
knew he hurt his back, but<br />
rolled over, pulled himself<br />
up into his truck and finished<br />
his 12-hour day.<br />
He went home, took an<br />
Aleve and visited a major<br />
Chicago ED the next day.<br />
Some hip x-rays were taken<br />
and he was sent home.<br />
But the pain was getting<br />
worse, so he called his<br />
primary care doctor, who<br />
is on the medical staff at<br />
UChicago Medicine Ingalls<br />
Memorial. Cyrus<br />
Akrami, MD, took a back<br />
x-ray and immediately<br />
sent him to Ingalls for a<br />
consult with George Miz,<br />
MD, a spine specialist who<br />
performs surgery assisted<br />
by a navigation and scanning<br />
technology several<br />
times a week.<br />
Even though it was a<br />
weekend, within 24 hours<br />
Drs. Akrami and Miz confirmed<br />
he had crushed five<br />
vertebrae and he was undergoing<br />
surgery.<br />
According to Dr. Miz,<br />
Ingalls was among the<br />
first in the Midwest to<br />
pioneer an intraoperative<br />
Brainlab surgical navigation<br />
process six years ago.<br />
Additionally, he boosts<br />
the resulting individualized<br />
care path and surgical<br />
precision with the Airo<br />
scanner, which has been<br />
in use at Ingalls for approximately<br />
two to three<br />
years. This Airo scanner<br />
attaches to the navigation<br />
system to provide three-dimensional<br />
scans to deliver<br />
comparison preoperative<br />
and intraoperative images<br />
to instantaneously confirm<br />
precise placement of rods<br />
and screws to immobilize<br />
the spine.<br />
In Gleason’s case, it was<br />
especially beneficial since<br />
he has Ankylosing hypertosis,<br />
a condition where<br />
extra layers of bone grow<br />
over the spine and cause it<br />
to fuse.<br />
“Any trauma, break or<br />
minimal movement could<br />
cause a shift in the spinal<br />
cord and result in probable<br />
paralysis,” Dr. Miz<br />
explained. “This disease<br />
distorts the anatomy and<br />
makes it even more difficult<br />
to determine the precise<br />
placement of screws.”<br />
Use of this advanced<br />
technology allowed Dr.<br />
Miz to visualize several<br />
different angles and implement<br />
instrument placement<br />
on Gleason — a hefty man<br />
at more than 300 pounds<br />
— and reduce the patient’s<br />
time under anesthesia or<br />
potential need for repeat<br />
or other corrective surgical<br />
procedures.<br />
With use of the surgical<br />
navigation and intraoperative<br />
scanner a sharp, welldefined<br />
image provides a<br />
clear and accurate line of<br />
sight, which allows surgeons<br />
to make timely and<br />
informed decisions and<br />
improves potential for<br />
“first-pass” accuracy.<br />
Comparable to automobile<br />
navigation systems<br />
that map out a course turnby-turn,<br />
this “GPS” for<br />
surgeons provides navigation<br />
and visualization<br />
technology that helps Miz<br />
effectively plan and execute<br />
spine procedures and<br />
place pedicle screws more<br />
accurately during surgery.<br />
It also helps minimize X-<br />
Ray exposure to the surgical<br />
team and patients,<br />
compared to more conventional<br />
surgical techniques.<br />
In concert with a highly<br />
trained technician, the<br />
software allows Miz to<br />
continuously track surgical<br />
instruments in relation<br />
to patient anatomy, thus<br />
minimizing complications,<br />
increasing precision and<br />
improving patient outcomes.<br />
As with most trauma,<br />
time is of the essence. Pat<br />
Gleason was tremendously<br />
lucky at several levels.<br />
First, his initial movements<br />
did not result in paralysis<br />
as he finished his job. Second,<br />
he persisted and went<br />
to his personal physician<br />
who listened, was familiar<br />
with his patient and recognized<br />
an immediate consult<br />
with a spine surgeon<br />
was vital. Third, Dr. Miz,<br />
who keeps abreast of the<br />
latest technology and was<br />
instrumental in bringing<br />
this high tech to Ingalls,<br />
is experienced in delicate<br />
spinal surgery boosted by<br />
the technological advances.<br />
Next on the technological<br />
horizon, is a robotic<br />
attachment that is less invasive<br />
and even more accurate<br />
than current technology,<br />
according to Dr.<br />
Miz.<br />
One day post-op the Rehab<br />
team worked to get<br />
Pat Gleason out of bed and<br />
taking steps.<br />
“Dr. Miz took the time<br />
to explain the complexities<br />
of my case to me and my<br />
family and the rehab team<br />

State-of-the-art Mill Pond Dental in Mokena puts patients first<br />
After working for several<br />
years as an associate<br />
in dental offices in Chicago<br />
and the southwest suburbs,<br />
Dr. Eric Young fulfilled his<br />
longtime dream of owning a<br />
business in December 2017<br />
when he opened the doors<br />
to Mill Pond Dental Group<br />
in Mokena.<br />
A year on, Dr. Young<br />
wants to say thank you to<br />
his patients, neighbors and<br />
the many people throughout<br />
the community who<br />
graciously welcomed Mill<br />
Pond Dental Group to the<br />
community.<br />
Dr. Young said the reception<br />
he has received from<br />
patients is “beyond expectations”<br />
and “extremely satisfying,”<br />
adding his new patient<br />
base is growing thanks<br />
to word-of-mouth referrals<br />
from current patients.<br />
Mill Pond’s “state-of-theart”<br />
facility offers the full<br />
range of dental services,<br />
from “bread and butter”<br />
services like fillings and<br />
crowns to high-end cosmetic<br />
work, implants and<br />

“We try to keep everything<br />
in house, so we try<br />
to offer all dental services,<br />
basically a one-stop for patients,”<br />
Dr. Young said.<br />
The fully digital office,<br />
which includes digital X-<br />
ray and CT scan machines,<br />
is catered toward patients<br />
who have stayed away from<br />
dentists’ offices because<br />
they fear the experience.<br />
“We try to convert those<br />
patients who haven’t seen<br />
a dentist in a long time due<br />
to fear and get them used to<br />
being back in the chair and<br />
feeling comfortable once<br />
again and taking care of<br />
their oral needs,” Dr. Young<br />
said.<br />
Dr. Young said Mill Pond<br />
Dental Group’s top priorities<br />
are patient care and the<br />
patient experience, with a<br />
focus on high-quality treatment.<br />
“We want to make sure<br />
that the moment you call<br />
the office you’re greeted<br />
nicely and the moment that<br />
you step into the office and<br />
leave that you’re leaving<br />
with a smile,” Dr. Young<br />
said. “Not everyone likes to<br />
come to the dentist. It can<br />
be a scary experience for<br />
some, so we want to make<br />
sure that we’re really wowing<br />
you and taking care of<br />
you and making you feel<br />
comfortable.<br />
“At the end of the day,<br />
the most important thing is<br />
making sure people are happy<br />
and that we’re helping<br />
them with their oral health.”<br />
As a growing small business,<br />
Mill Pond Dental<br />
Group is always accepting<br />
new patients, and Dr. Young<br />
makes it easy for those who<br />
are interested in his services<br />
to get an appointment.<br />

Weight No More Orland Park offers new approach to weight loss<br />
January is traditionally<br />
the time for New Year’s<br />
resolutions, new beginnings,<br />
and fresh starts. And<br />
Weight No More Orland<br />
Park is a fresh approach<br />
to weight loss and maintenance<br />
of a healthy weight.<br />
Unlike other programs or<br />
diets patients may have<br />
tried, Weight No More is<br />
a medically supervised approach<br />
to help them get to<br />
their ideal weight and help<br />
them stay there.<br />
According to Dr. Susan<br />
Rife, owner of Weight No<br />
More Orland Park, “We<br />
work with our weight<br />
maintenance clients as we<br />
would with any of our family<br />
medicine patients, from<br />
a science-based medical<br />
perspective, not from the<br />
latest diet or exercise fads.”<br />
She added, “One of biggest<br />
advantages of seeing<br />
a medical professional for<br />
weight loss and maintenance<br />
is that we can help<br />
you cut through the clutter<br />
and confusion of fad diets<br />
that seem to pop up every<br />
day.”<br />
There are other distinct<br />
differences to a medical<br />
weight loss program, too.<br />
Only a medical professional<br />
can design a plan that includes<br />
medication and prepare<br />
and clear patients for<br />
weight loss surgery should<br />
they and their provider decide<br />
that surgery would be<br />
the best option.<br />
“There have been vast<br />
improvements in safety<br />
and efficacy in the past few<br />
years in both weight loss<br />
medications and surgical<br />
techniques,” Rife said.<br />
The process is very<br />
straightforward and kept<br />
simple to help patients stay<br />
on track. The initial visit<br />
is a dedicated 30 minutes<br />
appointment for patients<br />
and their medical provider<br />
to discuss their questions,<br />
concerns and goals and<br />
ultimately devise an individualized<br />
plan together<br />
that suits them best.<br />
New patients with Dr.<br />
Rife also get an initial<br />
physical as part of the first<br />
visit, to help their medical<br />
provider understand their<br />
specific needs.<br />
“Obesity is a major<br />
problem in our country,<br />
and many chronic medical<br />
conditions are a result of<br />
poor diet and low physical<br />
activity,” Rife said.<br />
The medically based<br />
Weight No More approach<br />
can include medications<br />
and includes advice and<br />
counseling on diet and exercise<br />
behaviors. In some<br />
cases, surgery might even<br />
become the best option.<br />
Interestingly enough, to<br />
improve a chronic condition,<br />
studies have shown<br />
that that a reduction of just<br />
10 percent of a person’s<br />
weight can have a major<br />
impact on their health.<br />

South Suburban Hearing Health helps clients stay sharp<br />
Everyone wants to<br />
maintain their mental<br />
sharpness as they get older.<br />
Dementia, Alzheimer’s<br />
and cognitive decline are<br />
conditions everyone wants<br />
to avoid. But research has<br />
shown that hearing loss<br />
plays a role in the ability<br />
to stay mentally sharp with<br />
age.<br />
Here’s how: Untreated<br />
hearing loss has long been<br />
linked to social isolation<br />
and loneliness, which studies<br />
have shown increases<br />
the risk of Alzheimer’s and<br />
dementia. Think about it.<br />
If people struggle to hear,<br />
they will be more likely to<br />
withdraw from social activities<br />
or situations where<br />
hearing plays a big role.<br />
Secondly, as hearing becomes<br />
more difficult, the<br />
brain has to work harder<br />
to register and comprehend<br />
what is a person is<br />
listening to. This steals<br />
energy needed for memory<br />
and thinking. Imagine the<br />
brain as having a finite<br />
amount of fuel. The more<br />

Starts Here<br />
fuel that is used for listening<br />
and comprehension,<br />
the less fuel is available<br />
for remembering and other<br />
routine tasks. Finally,<br />
hearing loss is shown to<br />
accelerate brain atrophy or<br />
shrinkage.<br />
Yes, believe it or not,<br />
the brain shrinks as people<br />
age. Researchers at John<br />
Hopkins found that people<br />
with impaired hearing lost<br />
more brain tissue per year<br />
than peers with normal<br />
hearing, likely due to atrophy<br />
from lack of stimulation.<br />
This link between<br />
hearing loss and cognitive<br />
decline should give everyone<br />
incentive to treat hearing<br />
loss.<br />
A study out last summer<br />
provides even more. It<br />
concluded that managing<br />
or treating hearing loss in<br />
life is one of nine things<br />
that can be done to prevent<br />
dementia, and wearing<br />
hearing aids is the most effective<br />
treatment for hearing<br />
loss.<br />

loss, South Suburban<br />

he said.<br />
He noted that his family<br />
has always been impressed<br />
with the quality of<br />
care, the advanced technology<br />
and knowledgeable<br />
and compassionate<br />
bedside manner of doctors<br />
and nurses.<br />
“Years ago, I would<br />
have been in a wheelchair<br />
or worse,” he said. “Now<br />
I’m probably worth a small<br />
fortune in scrap metal but<br />
I’m back to my business.”<br />

ChuloFit proves weight loss is far from impossible<br />
Open less than a year,<br />
ChuloFit Training Studio,<br />
located in Palos Heights,<br />
is proving that people<br />
of any age, weight, ability,<br />
shape and size can set<br />
personal goals and accomplish<br />
them. Members of<br />
this upbeat studio can’t get<br />
enough and are not only<br />
achieving goals but are<br />
surpassing them.<br />
“These coaches have<br />
been there every step of<br />
the way,” said Kathy W.,<br />
of Palos Heights. “I never<br />
thought I could accomplish<br />
losing 15 inches in<br />
12 weeks and to my surprise<br />
I crushed it in 10.”<br />
Their positive and qualified<br />
coaches motivate each<br />
member with their own<br />
unique technique style and<br />
personality. The high-energy<br />
atmosphere at ChuloFit<br />
will keep people coming<br />
back for more.<br />
“I’m so addicted to ChuloFit,<br />
I made it for two<br />
classes today,” said Valerie<br />
A., of Midlothian.<br />
Offering a convenient<br />
group fitness schedule,<br />
one-on-one personal training<br />
at reasonable prices,<br />
ChuloFit has a program<br />
for everyone. In their cardio<br />
boxing, kickboxing,<br />
strength training and total<br />
body conditioning fitness<br />
classes, clients are burning<br />
up to 1200 calories in a<br />
single session and showing<br />
some huge results.<br />
“Yesterday, I weighed<br />
in at 170.4 Lbs., the lowest<br />
I have ever been,” said<br />
Teresa K., of Orland Park.<br />
“That’s 50.”<br />
“Goal setting is the key<br />
to success in anything in<br />
life, especially when it<br />
comes to fitness,” owner<br />
Lamont “Chulo” Doyle<br />
said. “We encourage our<br />
members to set goals and<br />
help motivate to reach<br />
them through weekly progress<br />
assessments. Progress<br />
is not always seen on the<br />
scale. Measurements and<br />
percentages go a long way<br />
in motivating both client<br />
and trainer to keep pushing<br />
to not only reach weight<br />
loss goals but to get in the<br />
best shape of their life, inside<br />
and out.”<br />
“Thank you for making<br />
me go that extra mile and<br />
become a better me,” said<br />
Ruby B., of Country Club<br />
Hills.<br />
“Not only did the people<br />
of ChuloFit help me build<br />
my strength, they helped<br />
me rediscover myself,”<br />
Betsy C., of Crestwood,<br />
said.<br />
ChuloFit and their top<br />
trainers will be at the upcoming<br />
Healthy Living<br />
Expo in Tinley Park, leading<br />
two 30-minute fitness<br />
classes at 11:30 a.m. to 12<br />
p.m. and at 12:30 p.m. to 1<br />
p.m. They encourage anyone<br />
to come out and join<br />
them. They would also like<br />
to invite anyone interested<br />
to the training studio for<br />
a complimentary fitness<br />
assessment, one-on-one<br />
training session or group<br />
class to call (708) 586-<br />
7088 to set up an appointment<br />
or just drop in and<br />
get started.<br />
