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 />

Phil & Amy have been<br />

hosting one-day and overnight<br />

luxury motorcoach<br />

trips. Their St. Christopher<br />

Travelers have been touring<br />

all around the country<br />

for whale watching. This<br />

trip has delightful morning<br />

experiences, including<br />

the group crossing<br />

Nantucket Sound by ferry<br />

to visit Martha’s Vineyard.<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 />

seen a squat machine before.<br />

work out is totally up to<br />

you.<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 />

Please see ingalls, 22

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 />

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 />

Your Journey to Better<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 />

to treat to their hearing<br />

loss, South Suburban<br />

with the quality of<br />

care, the advanced technology<br />

bedside manner of doctors<br />

“Years ago, I would<br />

have been in a wheelchair<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 />

or just drop in and<br />

get started.<br />
