Why it’s important to have a primary care doctor as a go-to resource for health
Primary care doctors
should be your go-to resource
for all basic health
care needs, says Amit D.
Patel, MD, who practices
family medicine at the
University of Chicago
Medicine Ingalls Memorial
Hospital. They assess
and treat everything from
chronic or recurring illnesses,
such as diabetes
and high blood pressure,
to acute sicknesses like
the common cold.
“A primary care doctor
is like the quarterback
of the team,” Patel said.
“But for any specialty
condition, we’ll pass a referral
on to a specialist.”
Patel said you should
see your primary care
doctor once a year,
whether or not you have a
chronic illness. This will
help your doctor become
familiar with your medical
history and proactively
ensure you’re getting
the appropriate care.
Your primary care doctor
can also be your central
resource for advice on
healthy living. Patel said
he’s recently offered advice
to patients who have
asked about herbal medicine,
fad diets, weightlifting
and cardio exercise.
“The most difficult age
group to convince to see
a primary care doctor is
18 to 35,” he said. “Most
people that age don’t deal
with chronic conditions,
and they feel like they’re
healthy.”
But a comprehensive
exam and discussion of
personal and family medical
history could lead to
additional tests or to the
discovery of a problem
you never knew you had,
such as an irregular heartbeat.
Regularly visiting a
primary care physician
could also prevent costly
trips to the emergency
room for serious conditions
that could have
been treated earlier.
“Specialists don’t offer
preventative care,” Patel
said.
A primary care physician
can perform exams
for breast, prostate and
colorectal cancers; provide
screenings for cholesterol,
diabetes and
blood pressure; and make
sure you are up to date on
immunizations.
Your primary care
doctor should be someone
you trust and with
whom you feel comfortable
communicating with
about sensitive topics
such as sexually transmitted
diseases or family
struggles, Patel said.
“I tell my patients that
if you don’t feel comfortable
openly communicating
with your primary
care physician, you might
consider finding a new
doctor,” Patel said.
He said a good primary
care doctor will make
eye contact with you and
truly listen to your needs
and concerns.
Patients should ultimately
feel confident that
their primary care doctor
will provide them appropriate
and tailored medical
care, taking wellness
to the end zone.
To schedule an appointment
with Dr. Patel
or another primary care
physician, call (888) 824-
0200.

Mill Pond Dental putting patients at ease
For many, visiting the dentist is daunting and can cause
anxiety and even fear.
It is a fact Dr. Eric Young is aware of, and one he and
his team at Mill Pond Dental in Mokena are changing
one patient at a time.
“Our staff is focused on the individual patient. We
don’t see people as a number on a chart,” Young said. “A
lot of patients have had bad experiences in the past. We
cater toward fearful patients.”
That service starts with Mill Pond’s cozy office and
sensitive staff members, who are trained in patient comfort
and care.
To complement the staff, Mill Pond offers stress-relief
amenities, such as over-the-ear headphones, a warm
blanket and aromatherapy.
The services are important because Mill Pond stresses
preventative care with visits semi-annually to ensure
long-term oral health.
“We put a strong emphasis on prevention, making sure
patients are coming in frequently,” Young said. “It’s important
to establish preventative dentistry. People tend to
forget.”
For new patients, that care begins with a comprehensive
exam including a full series of x-rays to determine
the needs of each patient.
From there, Dr. Young and Mill Pond build a personalized
treatment plan.
The process has been welcomed with open arms since
Mill Pond opened in Mokena two years ago.
After going to Loyola University for an undergraduate
degree, Northwestern University for his masters and
Marquette for a doctorate in dental science, Dr. Young
wanted to begin his own practice.
Young and company saw a need for a new modern
dental office in the southwest suburbs and set out to deliver
something that “stands out from everybody else.”
Mill Pond Dental Group is a general dental office that
provides preventative care and advanced services, such
as full-mouth rehabilitation.
“The community has been extremely welcoming and
very receptive to a new dental office,” Young said. “I was
happy to set up a business here.”
In 2020, Mill Pond will continue to focus on the patient
experience, while also expanding its dental implant
services.
Young said the price for dental implants is on the decline,
allowing more and more patients to afford them
and improve their dental health and confidence.
“[Dental implants] have very functional and aesthetic
results,” he said, adding that Mill Pond offers free dentalimplant
consultation and staffs board-certified personnel
for the oral surgery.

Mokena, open 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesdays-Thursdays, 9 a.m.-5
p.m. Fridays, and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturdays. For more information

Colony Productions brings music,
travel together to improve health
Did you know that exposing yourself
to music, any kind of music, stimulates
the brain cells and can add extra years to
your life? Music can also help retain your
memory. Music not only can improve your
physical health but your mental health, as
well. Yes, music impacts brain function
and human behavior including reducing
stress, pain and symptoms of depression,
as well as improving cognitive and motor
skills, spatial temporal learning and neurogenesis,
which is the brain’s ability to
produce neurons. (Pegasus Magazine article
from the University of Florida)
Here’s another interesting health note
from “7 Scientific Facts that Prove Travel
is Good for Your Health” (matadornetwork.com).
It’s true, those who travel tend
to have a longer life expectancy, whether
local or global, all forms of travel enhance
our lives and can actually increase our life
expectancy. Research shows that travel
reduces stress, keeps your body healthy
inside and out and boosts brain health.
Maybe that’s a bit of the magical, healthy,
ambience that St. Christopher Tours and
Music with Phil and Amy have been providing
for years. Phil and Amy continue to
deliver charming performances and musical
entertainment around Chicagoland
and vicinity get-aways like Starved Rock
Lodge and provide so many wonderful
opportunities for one day events like area
Theatre packages and experience amazing
pieces and places of Authentic America
with their unique one day ventures and
treasured overnight excursions.
Join St. Christopher Tours and Phil and
Amy this coming year and experience
for yourself what the fun and comradery
is all about. Be sure to check out today’s
ad and their website philnamymusic.com
with their developing calendar of events.
A one-day musical event highlights a
February matinee performance of Drury
Lane Theatre’s American in Paris (great
value with today’s ad coupon), Aurora’s
Paramount Theatre - Kinky Boots, The
Lyric Opera’s 42nd Street, Starved Rock
Lodge’s Phil & Amy’s Broadway Classics
(with one day and overnight opportunities),
White Fence Farm’s Christmas
Treasures with Phil & Amy. Additional
get-away previews include St. John, Indiana
– The Shrine of Christ’s Passion,
Joliet Prison Tour, Route 66 & Lincoln
Highway -one-day historic tours.
Overnight Motorcoach Luxury Bus
highlights include The Grand Canyon &
The Southwest Canyonlands National
Parks excursion, a favorite historic treasure
Mackinac Island, MI featuring three
days and two nights on the island with a
horse & carriage guided island tour including
a visit to The Grand Hotel, and a
Fall harvest & Christmas Tour to Michigan’s
Little Bavaria, Frankenmuth featuring
a tour of St. Lorenz Church and
a visit to the Silent Night Chapel. Additional
overnight previews include Nashville/Memphis,
(including a stay at Gaylord’s

Are you getting all your vitamins? Revamping your diet in 2020
StatePoint Media
Getting all the vitamins
and nutrients you need
each day is one of the most
important things you can
do to feel your best.
The good news is that
you don’t need to devote
hours each week to meal
prep to ensure you’re
healthfully getting essential
vitamins. As you make
your 2020 plans to revamp
your diet, here are a few
things to keep in mind:
• Don’t follow fads: When
it comes to your wellness,
it’s best to rely on
basic science, not the
latest fad diets or sports
drinks and supplements
that rely on added sugars,
fillers, preservatives,
artificial flavors,
sweeteners, dyes, and
negatives. Look for
products that transparently
list all their ingredients.
• Drink your vitamins: Did
you know that liquids
are the most bioavailable
form for your body
to absorb nutrients? For
complete health on-thego,
consider drinking
your vitamins.
• De-stress: Too much
stress can compromise
your body’s ability to
absorb nutrients. So,
take steps to relax and
unwind.
• Refuel wisely: If you hit
the gym frequently, you
likely have tried one or
two sports drinks and
know how important it
is to refuel quickly and
wisely after a workout.
For optimal high performance,
consider upgrading
your drink of choice.
• Maximize meals:
To maximize meals,
make sure the bulk of
the calories you consume
are not “empty.”
Empty calories, such
as added sugars and
solid fats, contain little
to no nutritional value.
Don’t let your busy
lifestyle get in the way
of ensuring you’re getting
all the nutrients you
need to feel your best.
This new year, resolve
to revamp your diet for
optimal nutrition.
YOU WANT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME WITHOUT
FEELING GUILTY ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE DRINKING.
Crook & Marker ® drinks are the only spiked and
sparkling beverages of their kind:
Zero sugar. 80 calories. Made with organic
alcohol. Overflowing with bold, refreshing flavor.

Midwest Orthopaedic
continues to serve for
more than three decades
When a group has been serving patients
for more than three decades and
have highly trained surgeons on staff,
they are likely doing many things right.
The staff at Midwest Orthopaedic
Consultants, with locations in both Oak
Lawn and Orland Park, has served the
region with more than 80 years of combined
orthopedic experience.
“Midwest Orthopaedic Consultants
brings university level ortho care close
to home,” said Todd Mensik, MOC’s
marketing representative. “All of our
surgeons are fellowship trained in a specific
body part making them more experienced
in treating the symptoms you’re
having,”
Back on your feet ranges of orthopedic
services are offered at MOC, including
injections, surgeries, MRIs and X-
rays, urgent care and physical therapy.
Both offices have all of the services
needed to diagnose and treat all types
of injuries.
“From X-ray to MRI to PT, we’re able
to get you back on your feet faster and
streamline your recovery,” Mensik said.
The keys to Midwest Orthopaedic
Consultant’s success are the doctors.
“They are caring, compassionate, educated
and motivated to get our patients
better and bring them back to the lifestyle
they’re used to,” he said, adding
that surgeons on staff continuously educate
themselves on the latest technology
to “help in your recovery process while
knowing their limitations.”
Roots in patient care
The practice began in 1995 when five
orthopedic surgery specialists from the
Oak Lawn area met to discuss changes
in the practice of medicine. Their principal
concerns were on improving patient
care, streamlining delivery of care and
maximizing outcomes for its patients.
As orthopedic surgeons, they “were best
fit to handle those challenges,” Mensik
said.
Since that time, Midwest Orthopaedic
Consultants has grown and evolved.
While the practice started in a small
building in Oak Lawn, it very quickly
outgrew that site. Its primary headquarters
is now in a large center in Orland
Park and upgrades were done to a new
Oak Lawn location on 95th Street.
Affordable care
Midwest Orthopaedic Consultants
delivers affordable, quality and convenient
orthopedic care. Midwest Orthopaedic
Consultants provides one of the
few self-contained orthopedic facilities
in the nation, centered on assuring comfort
and convenience for its patients and
families.
The goal of the physicians and staff is
to provide high-quality care and a comprehensive
range of diagnostic,
Midwest Orthopaedic Consultants
have been helping patients for more
than 30 years. Surgical and rehabilitative
services to meet all the orthopedic
needs of patients. This also includes
keeping up with the latest medical technological
advances, such as iPod joint
replacement technology and ultrasound
guided injections.
“Patients aren’t just a number, they
are family,” Mensik said. “Being a private
practice, we can still offer a personal
touch that is sometimes lost in larger
groups. They get to know not only their
provider but also the staff who assists in
their treatment.”

and arteries, performing
intravascular ultrasounds
and angiograms, dialysis

A section of the new
clinic is spa-like, devoted
to the treatment of varicose
veins. Vascular Specialists
offers sclerotherapy and
non-thermal vein treatment,
Venefit, Varithena

“Just like patients see
an orthopedic specialist
for broken bones, patients
should access the best
possible vein care; a fellowship-trained
vascular
surgeon to evaluate blood
vessels, rule out other
health problems and treat
disease,” Tanquilut said.
“These may seem like
simple procedures, but the
health of your leg veins
can determine quality of
life for decades to come,
ensuring you can walk and
stay mobile.”
Providing exceptional
vascular care is Tanquilut’s
passion.
“Our staff and physicians
are the creme de

standards for
evidence-based medical
care,” Tanquilut said. “Our
hospitality is second to

treated like family. In our

Get screened at Silver
Cross Hospital and
learn how to prevent
heart disease
Silver Cross Hospital’s
Love Your Heart Screening
is Feb. 22. One out of
every four deaths in the
United States is from heart
disease; that’s why Silver
Cross Hospital encourages
area residents to reduce
their risk of cardiovascular
disease by following a
healthy lifestyle and getting
screened regularly.
Take these steps now to
adopt a heart-healthy
lifestyle by
• Eating a healthy
diet (limit fat, sugar,
salt; eat plenty of fruits
and veggies)
• Maintaining a healthy
Body Mass Index
• Doing 2.5 hours of moderate
exercise every
week. (Even 10-minute
increments of brisk
walking can help keep a
heart healthy).
• Learning your numbers
(blood pressure and cholesterol
levels).
Best of all, on Saturday,
Feb. 22, one can find out
how healthy their heart
is for just $45 at the hospital’s
Love Your Heart
screening. The baseline
cardiac risk assessment
will include measurements
of total cholesterol including
HDL and LDL levels,
blood glucose level,
triglyceride level, blood
pressure and body fat; and
a 12-lead EKG.
Guests will also receive
a heart-healthy breakfast,
important health information,
giveaways and more.
Plus, free lectures by
heart specialists will discuss
ways to minimize
your heart disease risk factors,
eat healthier and exercise.
Seating is limited so register
early for Love Your
Heart at silvercross.org
or by calling (888) 660-
HEAL (4325).
Get your heart scanned
Calcification in the coronary
arteries is the earliest
indicator of heart disease.
The good news is that
calcium artery scoring at
Silver Cross Hospital and
Silver Cross Health Center
in Homer Glen can predict
heart disease long before
symptoms even start.
Calcium artery scoring
is a quick, painless exam
that uses high-speed CT
scanning to measure calcium
deposits in one’s heart.
It’s ideal for men over age
45 and women over age
55 who smoke, have high
blood pressure, high cholesterol
or a family history
of premature coronary artery
disease.
The scan produces a
score that identifies one’s
level of calcium deposits.
A higher score means one
has more plaque in your
coronary arteries, putting
one at greater risk for a
heart attack. Find out your
risk and what you can do
to lower it.
Who should get screened
• Family history of heart
disease
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Smoking habit
• Physically inactive
• Diabetic
• Overweight
• Men over 45
• Women over 55 (postmenopausal)

Heart Scan today, call

singing in a choir
Singing in a choir is a
fun and engaging way to
remain active and to stay
healthier longer. The Lemont-Homer
Glen Sounds
Good! Choir is part of the
fast-growing international
trend of professionally
lead daytime choirs for
retirement-age adults.
A substantial body of
international research has
shown that there are psychological
and physical
benefits related to singing
in a choir. Studies
cite many benefits including
reduced stress levels
and depression, improved
sense of social well-being,
and better physical health.
A joint study published in
2008 by Harvard and Yale
Universities found an increased
life expectancy of
choir participants. In the
recently released Chorus
America Chorus Impact
Study, older chorus members
reported both a better
quality of life and better
overall health than the
general public.
Overall, choristers 65
and older were more likely
than non-singers to report
better sleep, more energy,
healthier eating, increased
concentration and more
pleasure in everyday
things. More importantly,
a 2005 study found that the
cognitive, emotional, and
social benefits of singing
in choir were not affected
by the person’s level of
expertise. In fact, learning
new skills, such as the language
of music, is an additional
cognitive benefit.
Registration is now
open for the spring session
which starts on Jan.
31. Rehearsals are Friday
mornings 10-11:30
a.m. at Christ Community
Church, 13400 Bell Road,
Lemont. The 15-week session
will conclude with
a free concert on Sunday,
May 17 conducted
by Mary Doughty Mauch
and accompanied by acclaimed
collaborative pianist
William Buhr.
The spring repertoire
includes a wide range of
musical styles arranged
for four-part choirs and includes
Bridge Over Troubled
Water, The Storm is
Passing Over, Long Ago
and Far Away, What a
Wonderful World, How
Can I Keep From Singing,
I’m Gonna Sing When
the Spriti Says Sing, Kol
Han’shamah T’halel Yah,
and Waitin’ for the Light to
Shine. Practice CD’s are
especially popular with the
singers who are just starting
to read music and are
included in the tuition. Rehearsals
include physical
and vocal warm-ups and
vocal training throughout
the rehearsal. Anyone
interested is welcome to
come to a rehearsal to see
if it’s a great fit.
There is no audition.
Lifelong choral singers
are welcome, as are singers
who haven’t sung for
a while, as well as those
who are brand new to
choral singing. Mauch is
a professional choral conductor
and master teacher
who also teaches the popular
summer enrichment
classes in sight singing and
vocal technique at both the
Concordia and Lemont locations.
The Sounds Good!
Choir is a not for profit
organization that serves
more than 500 singers in
the Chicago area. Singers
come together for a combined
performance at the
historic Fourth Presbyterian
Church on the Gold
Coast. And, as an added
benefit, singers are welcome
to attend multiple
weekly rehearsals in different
locations.
Registration can be done
online or at the rehearsal.

Let therapeutic massage be a part of a personal wellness plan
In this day and age of extended
work hours, household
chores, children’s
sports and other endless
responsibilities, what could
be better than taking a little
“me time” to pamper oneself
with a nice, relaxing
massage, right?
People may not be aware
that there is a lot more to
massage than meets the
eye.
Massage is the oldest
documented form of health
care. Who knew that archaeologists
have found
evidence of massage being
used in the cave drawings
of ancient cave dwellers?
These wall paintings show
people massaging each
other using various oils
and herbs.
Other ancient civilizations
in China, Egypt and
Greece have used massage
to prevent and treat illness
for 3,000-plus years.
In fact, the father of modern
medicine Hippocrates
himself was a great proponent
of massage and used
it in his own practice.
So what does modern
medicine have to say about
massage? Several recent
studies confirm that therapeutic
massage reduces
stress — a leading health
factor, improves immune
function, alleviates headaches,
helps prevention
and recovery from injuries,
improves post-surgical
outcomes, and relieves
the stress and strain associated
with pregnancy.
Massage plays an important
role in training the
body how to relax and help
improve breathing. Massage
therapists can focus
on lengthening and relaxing
muscles of the anterior
chest and neck which can
lead to improved breathing
capacity and muscle function.
This also assists the
opening of the chest area,
as well as the structural
alignment and rib cage
expansion needed for optimal
lung function.
We all know that massage
can benefit our control
over our stress levels,
but in addition to stress relief,
regular massage therapy
can help reduce pain,
increase energy levels and
improve overall physical
and mental performance.
What does all of this
mean? It means that massage
should no longer be
considered a luxury. Therapeutic
massage should be
part of everyone’s personal
wellness plan and that of
those they care about most.
Let me be a new and vital
addition to every family’s
healthy lifestyle along
with each of the health
and fitness professionals
at TheraCORE Physical
Therapy and Fitness Studio
on 159th St. in Lockport,
where we help people
achieve and maintain their
optimal health and fitness
goals. Remember, when
people have a massage and
then refer us a massage client,
they will receive $10
off their next massage!

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

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

the Tinley Park Convention

The expo is to feature
healthy-cooking demonstrations,
speakers, workout
classes, upward of 70
vendors running the gamut
of wellness and more. As
usual, admission is free.
Attendees are asked to
register at 22ndCentury
Media.com/healthy.
Organizers expect more
than 800 guests to take in
the activities, said Heather
Warthen, 22nd Century
Media’s chief events officer.
“It’s a great event for
capitalizing on New Year’s
resolutions and for people
who may have already
given up on those goals,”
Warthen said. “It’s a good
reminder that, ‘Hey, maybe
you shouldn’t give up
on those resolutions.’”
The day kicks off with a

New option for colorectal cancer patients at Palos Hospital
Colorectal cancer is the third
most diagnosed cancer in the
US for men and women excluding
skin cancers, according to
the American Cancer Society.
However, the number of deaths
from colorectal cancer has
been declining over the past
30 years, due in part to better
screening techniques and improved
options for cancer treatment.
Palos Hospital colorectal
surgeon Imad Qayyum, MD,
has seen firsthand the positive
outcomes for patients when
colorectal cancer is diagnosed
and treated at the early stages.
“Survival rates for colon and
rectal cancer have improved,”
Qayyum said. “Five-year survival
rates can reach over 90
percent for stage 1 cancer (the
earliest stage cancer). Also,
finding and dealing with cancer
in early stages can make chemotherapy
after surgery unnecessary.”
Dr. Qayyum is one of only
a few doctors in the southwest
suburbs who performs the
highly specialized transanal
minimally invasive surgery for
early stage tumor and polyp removal.
A relatively new option,
TAMIS, may allow patients
with early stage rectal cancer
to avoid undergoing major abdominal
surgery and having
a section of their rectum removed.
During TAMIS, since the
rectum is not removed — as
in traditional surgery — the
chances of adverse effects are
reduced, including fecal incontinence,
urinary issues, or
sexual dysfunction. Patients
who have TAMIS can usually
go home the next day.
For more advanced cancers,
Palos offers a full spectrum
of treatment. Laparoscopic
surgery, robotic surgery
and small incision surgery
are all options, as well as
traditional colon surgery.
“Laparoscopic and robotic surgery
both allow for small incisions
to take out a portion of
the colon or rectum,” said Dr.
Qayyum. “In many cases they
allow for faster recovery and
quicker discharge from the hospital.”
The first defense against
colorectal cancer is early detection.
If you have no personal
or family history of colorectal
cancer, the American Cancer
Society recommends screening
tests beginning at age 45.
Screening can include a stoolbased
test or a visual exam.
Talk to your doctor about the
best option for you.
According to the National
Health Institute, the annual incidence
and mortality rates for
colorectal cancer have dramatically
declined over the past 40
year, partly due to increased
screening for colorectal cancer.
“The topic of colon cancer,
and screening for cancer
is becoming less taboo, so it’s
easier to talk about treatment
options,” Qayyum said. “Also,
the surgical techniques we use
today for colorectal cancer are
an improvement even over just
15 years ago, in most cases
allowing patients to return
to their normal routine more
quickly.”
Be sure to visit your primary
care doctor as soon as possible
if you display any signs or
symptoms of colorectal cancer.
Need a primary care doctor?
Call our physician referral line
at (708) 226-2300 or visit pal
sohealth.com.
Palos Hospital will host a free
event, “Keys to Colon Health,”
at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb.
24 in the hospital auditorium.
This event features Dr. Imad
Qayyum, who will offer practical
suggestions for optimal colon
functioning as well as how
to reduce your odds of developing
colon cancer. Call (708)
226-2300 to register.

Learn about Country Financial’s life insurance policies
Protection for
loved ones
For an additional Country Financial
and Country Life Insurance
Co. offers an optional Return
of Premium Rider for our
20-year and 30-year term Life
Insurance policies. If someone
dies while their policy is in force,
their beneficiaries will generally
receive the tax-free death benefit
(subject to the terms of their
policy).
Get your premiums back
If ones policy is still in force
at the end of the level-term period,
their premiums will be
returned tax-free. One may use
their returned premium however
they wish, such as to pay for
college or a child’s wedding, to
supplement retirement income,
to pay off a mortgage, buy a vacation
home or to fund or start a
business.
• Take Cathy’s situation, for example.
She wants to protect
her family, but also have the
potential to get something
back.
• Cathy is 35 years old and wants
to purchase $250,000 in 20-
year term life insurance. She
qualifies for the “Preferred,
Non-Tobacco” health rating.
• At the end of the 20-year term,
with the Return of Premium
rider, she would get back
$10,250, tax-free, to use to
meet whatever her needs are at
that time.
Convert to a permanent policy
As life goes on, one might
want to consider coverage that
lasts longer. With a Country Term
Life Policy, one may be eligible
to convert to permanent coverage.
People can do so before the
end of the level premium period
or age 65, whichever is earlier.
Even if one’s health changes
during their conversion privilege
period, they can get a permanent
policy that we offer at the time
of converting, without a medical
exam if one doesn’t increase
the death benefit. Further, before
the end of one’s term can elect to
have the premium amount paid
toward the new policy.
What happens if I die before the
level-premium period end?
One’s beneficiary will receive
the policy’s death benefit (taxfree),
minus any outstanding
loans plus loan interest, subject
to the terms of the policy. The
premiums paid will not be returned.
Certain restrictions apply and
one should refer to their term
life insurance policy or rider, or
speak to their Country Financial
Representative, for availability
and further details. This is not
a statement of coverage or offer
of insurance. One may not receive
the full returned premium
amount if they convert at age 65
and have not reached the end of
the level-premium period.

Why a personalized diet can you help achieve better results
StatePoint Media
From custom-designed
sneakers to tailor-made
sunglasses, the trend of
personalization is going
head-to-toe, and for good
reason, making its way to
the world of weight loss
and wellness.
Specifically, researchers
have been studying two
converging topics in recent
years. One is the importance
of body type in determining
the combination
of fats, carbohydrates and
protein that will provide
the best results for a given
individual. The other is
the variability of results
associated with a single
diet -- the idea that if two
people start the same diet
at the same time, their results
could be drastically
different.
On top of that, consumer
research shows that people
overwhelmingly prefer
personalized experiences.
Sixty percent of consumers
agree that personalization
is essential to weight
loss and overall wellness.
Here’s what to know
about why personalized
diets are becoming so popular
and how to find the
right diet for you:
The importance
of body type
The places your body
stores excess fat may be
the single greatest predictor
of health outcomes.
This is the concept behind
Nutrisystem’s assessment
of the four most common
body types: “Apple,”
“Pear,” “Hourglass” and
“Rectangle.”
“We’re going a bit old
school here, because these
categories have stood the
test of time for a reason.
They provide crucial information
on how you
respond to food intake
and can help you to adjust
what you eat based on
your goals,” says Courtney
McCormick, corporate dietitian
at Nutrisystem.
Body type can also influence
how macronutrients
like fat, protein,
and carbs are processed.
To fulfill your individual
needs, first determine your
body type, food preferences
and goals, then look
for a weight loss plan that
takes these important factors
into consideration,
such as Nutrisystem.
One size does not fit all
The DIETFITS study,
a large, randomized research
study comparing
low-fat versus low-carb
dietary patterns found no
difference in weight loss
between them. But drilling
down into the data,
one can see great variability.
Some dieters gained
weight while others lost
a lot. But it’s not always
about weight outcomes, as
recent research has shown
that factors such as body
shape may play a bigger
role in the determinants
of health risks than body
weight alone.
For instance, a woman
who is apple-shaped tends
to carry her extra weight
in the mid-section. She
would see best results on
a lower-glycemic nutrition
plan that is lower in
refined carbs and higher in
healthy fats and protein.
“Research shows that
one size does not fit all
when it comes to weight
loss and disease prevention,”
says McCormick.
“That’s why we’ve created
a unique, personalized approach
that’s easy to follow
and designed to help
participants lose weight
and get healthy.”
For more insights on
how to personalize your
diet and maximize results,
visit leaf.nutrisystem.com.
While it’s no secret that
achieving one’s weight
loss goals is challenging,
personalizing your plan
can help make things easier,
ultimately providing
you a greater chance of
success.

Tinnitus and hearing loss: What’s the connection?
Up to 15 percent of adults experience
tinnitus, which causes ringing in the ears.
The sound may seem to come from inside
the head, or from a distance, in one ear or
both. It may be steady or pulsating, but
only you can hear it.
Many people can tune out the distraction
using habituation techniques or
meditation, but tinnitus can become bothersome
for about 2 percent of the population.
Some people experience tinnitus occasionally,
some nonstop. It can ebb and
flow, and even spike with fatigue or after
consuming caffeine.
Scientists aren’t sure what happens
in our brain that causes these phantom
sounds. But we do know that the problem
is often linked to hearing loss and exposure
to noise. In addition, there are roughly
200 different health disorders that can
produce tinnitus as a symptom.
About 90 percent of people with tinnitus
also have some degree of hearing loss,
though many people may not even realize
they have both conditions. Tinnitus usually
follows the pattern of the loss. If one
has trouble hearing high frequencies, their
tinnitus is often a high-pitched ringing or
hissing. When the loss is in only one ear,
one will usually only have tinnitus in that
ear and it will go away if one gets a cochlear
implant in that ear.
Why would a loss of sound perception
cause phantom sounds? Let’s review the
pathway for sounds: A sound wave enters
one’s ear and arrives at the middle and inner
ear, the location of the cochlea, a fluid-filled
area with hair cells. The hair cells
turn the vibration in the fluid into electrical
signals that reach the brain through
one’s auditory nerve.
While most people with tinnitus have
hearing loss, only about 30 percent of
people with hearing loss experience tinnitus.
What has made them vulnerable? The
answer may be damage from noise.
Ear ringing and hearing loss
Most of us have experienced temporary
tinnitus—ringing in the ears after hearing
very loud noises. One study of amateur
rock musicians found temporary hearing
loss and tinnitus in both ears immediately
after band practice.
Loud noises can damage hair cells in
the cochlea and also the nerve that carries
information to the brain, known as noiseinduced
hearing loss. Sometimes the
sounds will appear after noise exposure
when one is young, go away, and return
later in life as one ages and a hidden vulnerability
appears.
Tinnitus is more common after the age
of 60 but can happen at any age. It is a
common complaint among U.S. veterans
returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, usually
traced to a traumatic brain injury, but
also possibly to battlefield and workplace
noise.
Protect your hearing to prevent tinnitus
Even if one doesn’t have hearing loss,
noise exposure can cause tinnitus, although
researchers don’t know exactly
how. One theory was synapse damage.
Synapses are how nerve cells communicate
with each other. In rodents, loud
noises can destroy synapses between inner
hair cells and auditory nerve fibers,
without causing hair cell loss or permanent
hearing loss. The same effect might
happen in people.
The bottom line: Noise pollution is
dangerous. Wear earplugs, earmuff-style
noise blockers or even a custom-fitted
device if one must spend time amid loud
noise. Lifestyle changes about noise exposure
can go a long way to prevent hearing
loss.
Tinnitus can be a sign of hearing loss
If one has tinnitus, they may also have
hearing loss–even if they haven’t realized
it. Get hearing checked by finding a hearing
specialist at one of South Suburban
Hearing Health Center’s four locations.
Addressing hearing loss can help ease the
intensity of tinnitus, and in some cases
hearing aids also can be programmed to
mask tinnitus by subtly amplifying other
sounds.

10 doctor-recommended health tips for the new year
StatePoint Media
Four in 10 adults in the U.S.
have two or more chronic diseases,
according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
While certain conditions and risk
factors are beyond one’s control,
the new year is the perfect time
to consider the many lifestyle
choices you can make for improved
health.
“With too many holiday sweets
and not enough exercise likely in
the rearview mirror, now is the
perfect time to consider your
personal goals and how you can
make positive health choices in
the coming year,” says American
Medical Association (AMA)
President Patrice A. Harris, M.D.
“The good news is that there are
a few easy steps you can take that
will set you on the right track for
a healthier 2020.”
To get you started, the AMA
is offering 10 wellness tips for
the new year.
1. Steps you take now can help
prevent or delay the onset of
type 2 diabetes. Learn your
risk by taking the self-screening
test at DoIHavePrediabetes.org.
2. Be more physically active.
Adults should do at least 150
minutes a week of moderate-intensity
activity, or 75
minutes a week of vigorousintensity
activity.
3. Visit LowerYourHBP.org to
better understand blood pressure
numbers and take necessary
steps to get high blood
pressure – also known as hypertension
-- under control.
Doing so will reduce your
risk of heart attack or stroke.
4. Reduce your intake of processed
foods, especially
those with added sodium and
sugar. Eat less red meat and
processed meats, and add
more plant-based foods, such
as olive oil, nuts and seeds to
your diet. Also reduce your
consumption of sugar-sweetened
beverages and drink
more water instead. Drinking
sugary beverages -- even
100% fruit juices -- is associated
with a higher all-cause
mortality risk, a new study
published in JAMA Network
Open suggests.
5. If your health care professional
determines that you
need antibiotics, take them
exactly as prescribed. Antibiotic
resistance is a serious
public health problem and
antibiotics will not make you
feel better if you have a virus,
such as a cold or flu.
6. If consuming alcohol, do so
in moderation as defined by
the U.S. Dietary Guidelines
for Americans -- up to one
drink daily for women and
two drinks daily for men, and
only by adults of legal drinking
age.
7. Talk with your doctor about
tobacco and e-cigarette use
(or vaping) and how to quit.
Declare your home and car
smoke- and aerosol-free to
eliminate secondhand exposure.
8. Pain medication is personal.
If you’re taking prescription
opioids or other medications,
follow your doctor’s instructions.
Store them safely to
prevent misuse and properly
dispose of any leftover medication.
9. Make sure your family is upto-date
on vaccines, including
the annual influenza vaccine
for everyone age six months
or older. If you’re pregnant,
you can receive the flu vaccine
during any trimester, but
should receive the Tdap vaccine
early in the third trimester
to protect yourself against
flu and whooping cough.
10. Manage stress. A good diet,
sufficient sleep (at least 7.5
hours per night), daily exercise
and wellness activities,
like yoga and meditation, are
key ingredients to maintaining
and improving your mental
health, but don’t hesitate
to ask for help from a mental
health professional when you
need it.

How simple steps may prevent Type 2 diabetes
StatePoint Media
More than one in three Americans
-- over 84 million people
-- have prediabetes, which is a
serious condition that often leads
to type 2 diabetes and other significant
health problems, such as
heart disease and stroke. Despite
its prevalence, nearly 90 percent
of people with the condition
don’t know they have it. The
good news is that prediabetes
can often be reversed. The first
step is learning your risk, say experts.
As part of its efforts to lead
the charge in preventing chronic
diseases and confronting public
health crises, the American
Medical Association (AMA) is
encouraging all Americans to
learn their risk for type 2 diabetes
and take action accordingly
during November, which is Diabetes
Awareness Month.
“Preventing type 2 diabetes
starts with ensuring that people
are aware of their risks for developing
the disease and advising
them on interventions,” says Dr.
Patrice A. Harris, M.D., M.A.,
president of the AMA. “Research
shows that people who
are aware of their condition are
more likely to make the necessary
long-term lifestyle changes
that can help prevent or delay
the onset of type 2 diabetes. The
AMA is focused on improving
the health of the nation by leading
the charge to prevent chronic
disease. As the cornerstone of
that effort, we are committed to
helping America achieve no new
preventable cases of type 2 diabetes.”
A one-minute self-screening
risk test available at DoIHave-
Prediabetes.org can help you
determine where you stand. The
AMA encourages those with
high scores who learn they may
be at risk for prediabetes to consult
their doctor to confirm a
diagnosis, as well as to find out
how lifestyle changes, such as
losing weight, eating a well-balanced
diet that includes a variety
of foods and being more physically
active can help prevent
type 2 diabetes. For additional
resources, visit amapreventdia
betes.org and cdc.gov.
The prevalence of adults diagnosed
with diabetes more than
doubled in the past 20 years,
making it more important than
ever that Americans find out
whether they have prediabetes.
Armed with that knowledge,
they can take steps to manage or
even reverse the condition.

“mystery illness” and have tried everything?

Tips for relieving joint pain in the new year
StatePoint Media
The health benefits of
regular exercise are undeniable,
and the U.S. Department
of Health and
Human Services recommends
30 minutes of exercise
at least five times
per week. However, highimpact
exercises like running
and weight training
can lead to joint pain, especially
if you have a joint
condition. The good news
is that smart exercises with
low impact can alleviate
joint pain and deliver the
same health benefits.
Here are a few tips to
consider for a healthy start
to 2020:
Keep moving
Trying to protect your
joints by not moving actually
does more harm than
good. Regular exercise can
actually help joint pain and
ease symptoms of chronic
joint conditions, according
to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Just be sure to talk to your
doctor about your exercise
plan before you get started.
Go low impact
You don’t need to put
tremendous weight on
your joints or jump up and
down in order to break
a sweat or elevate your
heartrate. When you’re already
in pain, this type of
exercise can actually make
things worse. Instead, opt
for high-quality, low-impact
workouts.
There are now exercise
machines available
for home use that provide
the same quality lowimpact
workout you’d get
in physical therapy. Consider
the Teeter FreeStep
Recumbent Cross Trainer,
a seated exercise machine
that takes the weight off
the joints while torching
calories.
Unlike other recumbent
machines which can
be bad for the knees, the
FreeStep mimics a natural
stepping motion that prevents
knees from traveling
over the toes, as well
as stabilizes the back and
hips. And you don’t have
to sacrifice workout quality
– in fact, research shows
that FreeStep users burn
17.4 percent more calories
than when using a recumbent
bike at the same level
of effort. Beyond calorie
burn, it also offers fullbody
resistance training,
which is especially important,
as weak muscles can
be a root cause of pain.
Hydrate
It may seem obvious,
but ensuring that you drink
the recommended daily intake
of water is vital to reducing
pain in your joints.
Proper hydration helps
your body eliminate wastes
and toxins that can lead to
painful joint conditions.
Plus, it helps to keep the
joints lubricated and flexible,
reducing friction and
inflammation and helping
to maintain healthy tissue.
Stretch daily
Stretching increases
flexibility and range of
motion, improves movement
and function, reduces
pain and stiffness and prevents
further injury. Just
remember to move slowly
and keep it gentle.
At the very least, spend
a good five to 10 minutes
in the morning stretching
your hamstrings, quadriceps,
calf muscles and hip
flexors.

“5 Daily Stretches to Relieve
Knee & Joint Pain,”
plus a code for $75 off the
FreeStep (good through
January 31, 2020), visit
teeter.com/freestep-guide.
With the right exercises
and maintenance program,
you can improve your
health and get a stronger
body, without pain.
For healthier eating, grill more in the new year
StatePoint Media
Planning to follow a trendy
diet like keto in 2020 or simply
want to eat right? There’s good
news -- grilling can be a great
option for you to kickstart eating
healthier in the new year. Indeed,
the American Heart Association
recommends it.
“Grilling is a year-round way
of life, bringing together family
and friends,” says Jeff Thiessen,
president of Pit Boss Grills.
“Luckily, those watching their
diets can still get healthy foods
with the fun and flavor of a backyard
barbecue.”
Use these tips to make healthier
meals prepared on the grill
• Let your spices do the heavy
lifting: You can add exciting
and bold flavor to any recipe
using seasoning mixtures.
Spice up foods like veggies or
lean meats with seasoned rubs
or marinades for amazing flavor
without all the calories.
• Eat fresher: Round out recipes
by including fresh vegetables.
For the best flavor and highest
nutritional value, look for
locally-grown produce. Vegetables
make an excellent addition
to any meal as grilled kabobs
or chopped up and tossed
in your favorite chili.
• Be versatile: A healthy diet is a
versatile diet. Look for a grill
offering multiple cooking options,
including baking, roasting
and smoking, such as Pit
Boss Grills. Their 8-in-1 versatile
grills allow you to do it
all with one-of-a-kind hardwood
flavor.
• Try it yourself: For a delicious
spin on a favorite barbecue
classic, try this Healthy Hawaiian
Pulled Pork, right from
the Pit Boss playbook.
Ingredients
• 2 cups aloe leaf juice
• 1 teaspoon coriander, ground
• 2 teaspoons cracked pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• Dash of salt
• 4-6 garlic cloves
• 1 3-inch ginger, fresh
• 1-2 limes
• 4 cups no sodium added chicken
bone broth
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 teaspoons paprika
• 6-8 pounds pork shoulder/butt
• 1/2 sweet onion
• 2 packets Truvia
• 2 tablespoons Truvia Nectar
Directions
• Set grill to “smoke.” Once the
pot catches, turn the grill up to
300 degrees F. Make sure your
flame broiler is closed, you’ll
want to use indirect heat.
• Add spices to a bowl. Set aside.
• Grate ginger into a separate
“wet ingredients” bowl. Mince
garlic cloves and dice onions
into the same bowl. Juice
limes and add chicken bone
broth, aloe leaf juice, Truvia
and Truvia Nectar. Mix and set
bowl aside.
• Add the oil to your Pit Boss
Cast Iron Roasting Pan and
coat the bottom and sides.
Place pork inside.
• Coat pork with dry rub.
• Pour wet ingredients around
the pork. Cover with lid and
set on the grill.
• Check every couple hours,
basting if needed. When internal
temperature reaches 195
degrees F (after 6-8 hours),
it should easily start to pull
apart. Don’t pull apart the
whole shoulder yet.
• Remove roasting pan from grill
and set aside for 1 hour. Remove
lid to help speed cooling.
• Once cooled, shred pork into a
separate bowl, removing fat. If
adding marinade for additional
flavor, skim fat off the top
and discard.
• Pair with fresh grilled veggies,
delicious fruit or make tacos
or salads, and voila!

By following the keys to
healthy grilling, you can create
guilt-free meals in 2020.

Water immersion therapy offers new pain management option during labor
Women’s Healthcare of Illinois
is relentless in its pursuit
to offer greater options for labor
and delivery.
The practice has a reputation
for providing comprehensive
and exceptional care to meet the
needs of patients in the southwest
Chicagoland area and Northwest
Indiana, and now it will offer hydrotherapy
as a pain management
alternative during labor at Advocate
South Suburban Hospital.
This announcement comes on
the heels of Women’s Healthcare
of Illinois’ recent addition of
nitrous oxide as a pain management
option for expecting mothers.
“Our patients truly come first
in everything we do,” said Beth
Helme Smith, a certified nurse
midwife with Women’s Healthcare
of Illinois, which has offices
in Mokena and Evergreen Park.
“We believe women should have
the power to choose the best options
for their care, and together
we can make that happen by offering
attractive choices like hydrotherapy.”
Water immersion hydrotherapy
is a safe and effective
non-pharmacologic pain relief
strategy that provides greater relaxation
for women during labor.
The physiological response to
water helps improve circulation
and eases pressure throughout
the body.
“Soaking in a warm tub reduces
stress, and the buoyancy lessens
a mother’s body weight, allowing
her greater movement and
new positioning to get comfortable,”
Helme Smith said. “Hydrotherapy
has also shown that it
can provide more efficient uterine
contractions and improved blood
circulation, which means less
pain during labor and more oxygen
for the baby.”
Immersion in water also helps
lower high blood pressure and
increases the mother’s ability to
produce endorphins, which serve
as pain inhibitors.
“As the mother relaxes physically,
she’s also able to relax
mentally, and this lets her focus
on the birthing process and
communicating with our team,”
Helme Smith said.
The addition of water immersion
therapy is part of a comprehensive
midwifery program offered
by Women’s Healthcare of
Illinois in collaboration with Advocate
South Suburban Hospital.
While water births are sometimes
an extension of hydrotherapy solutions,
at this point, hydrotherapy
will be used exclusively for pain
management.
“We could not be more pleased
to work with Women’s Healthcare
of Illinois in our joint efforts
to ensure that women in our community
have the healthiest possible
birthing experience,” said
Jennifer Doerr, clinical nurse
manager at the Women and Infants
Center at Advocate South.
“By promoting shared decisionmaking,
we’re creating solutions
that meet the individual needs of
the women in our care.”
Women’s Healthcare of Illinois
empowers healthy women
in Chicago’s southwest neighborhoods
through expert care in
gynecology, obstetrics, midwifery
services, and more.

Help the body heal itself at R&R Acupuncture
The New Year is a time
for reflection and growth,
and many of us use Jan.
1 as a date to “start over,”
making resolutions to be
better than we were the
year before. The majority
of New Year’s resolutions
revolve around health —
to spend more time at the
gym, to eat better, or to
lose extra pounds from the
holidays.
It is important to remember
that one of the keys to
being healthier is for one
to listen to their body.
Use the new year to get
out of the habit of brushing
off symptoms such as
pain, headaches, fatigue,
anxiety, poor digestion, or
any other discomfort in
the body. We live in such a
fast-paced and busy world
that we write off these
symptoms as “just something
I have,” rather than
finding the underlying issue
and helping the body
to heal.
Acupuncture promotes
your body’s ability to heal
itself by assisting in the
movement of your body’s
natural energy, known as
“Qi,” through the insertion
of very fine needles along
pathways in the body.
As long as energy and
blood are free to move as
they should, pain and illness
do not occur. The
needles guide Qi in the
proper direction to nourish
the body and stimulate
healing. Acupuncture has
been used to treat many
conditions, including but
not limited to chronic pain,
sciatica, stress and anxiety,
headaches and migraines,
insomnia, addictions, allergies,
colds and illnesses,
digestive discomfort,
fertility and menstrual
irregularities, pregnancy
support, and much more.
Acupuncture improves
symptoms by treating the
“root cause,” or the underlying
reason for your
problems, instead of simply
treating or masking
your symptoms. We create
a completely personalized
approach to healthcare:
your treatments will be tailored
to your lifestyle and
your body.
R&R Acupuncture, located
in Mokena, was
founded in 2019 by Rachel
Rosenhagen, LAc. “R&R”
commonly stands for rest
and relaxation, which encourages
our sessions to be
viewed not only as healthcare,
but also as a break
during the week. For our
business, the name R&R
stands for Relief and Renewal:
relief from pain and
disharmony, and renewal
of the body, mind and
spirit. Rachel Rosenhagen
began her journey with
acupuncture at the age of
13 while seeking relief
from chronic, unexplainable
nausea. She began
seeing improvements after
just one visit, and credits
acupuncture for giving her
the ability to lead a normal
and healthy life. She
is now able to bring relief
to others through acupuncture,
and help people to
feel their best in a state of
new health.

Stem cell therapy now available in Tinley Park
Dr. Ed Beyer, of Beyer
Natural Health Solutions,
has partnered with
Dr. Scott Hanlon, D.O. of
Little Company of Mary
Hospital and Predictive
Biotech labs, to offer
FDA-regulated human
umbilical cord stem cells
to patients suffering from
chronic degenerative arthritis,
osteoarthritis and
rheumatoid arthritis that
can cause debilitating pain
in the following areas:
• knees
• hips
• neck and low back
• shoulders
• elbows
• hands and feet
Dr. Beyer has been practicing
functional medicine
in Tinley Park for over 30
years. When asked why
he decided to venture
into stem cells he said, “I
have had my eye on the
potential of stem cells to
regenerate broken down
joints ever since my father
passed away from the
consequences of an FDAapproved
drug he was
taken for arthritic pain. At
that time, stem cells were
in their infancy stages.
With the advancement of
research, that is no longer
the case.
“Now, when it comes to
proper, and I emphasize
proper, stem cell therapy
for regeneration of arthritic
joints, there is simply
no better option. Research
now confirms this, and
we are seeing it on a daily
basis in our clinic. People
with ‘bone on bone’ joints
told they need surgical replacement
are finding relief
and avoidance of surgery
with proper stem cell
injections.”
He went on to say even
Mayo Clinic uses stem cell
and regenerative medicine.
He further states that “the
future of joint repair is
here now.”
Dr. Beyer and Dr. Hanlon
know that there exists
a lot of false information
and misunderstanding
when it comes to stem
cells. For this reason, Dr.
Beyer is holding free informational
seminars in
the area that answers the
following questions:
-What science and research
say about what
stem cells can help and
what can’t they help?
-Is the FDA involved in
stem cell therapy?
-Which type of stem
cells should be used to regenerate
arthritic joints?
-Are there any dangers
to stem cell therapy?
-Does insurance cover
this type of therapy?
-What kind of results
can be expected, and how
long will they last if I am
a good candidate for stem
cell therapy?
These one hour seminars
are being offered free
of charge at the following
locations:
• 6 p.m.. Tuesday, Jan. 21,
and 11 a.m. Saturday,
Jan. 25, Tinley Park
