GIVING BACK

‘The Thread’ Bears ThreadHeads ST. LOUIS SOCIAL LEADER SEWS TOGETHER COMMUNITY, ONE STORY THREAD AT A TIME SELF-PROCLAIMED THREADHEADS ESPECIALLY NOTICED A BELOVED MEMBER OF THE ST. LOUIS FOX 2 TELEVISION FAMILY IS BAAAAAAAAAACK!! Tim Ezell returned to news televithat, viewers have followed him on his unique faith-based television show about his grassroots movement to thread together communities and cross-denominational churches, arm-in-arm. For the past two decades, Tim created love and laughter on regional television. Viewers never knew what to expect when tuning into Fox 2 News in the Morning, due to Tim's antics. Some say he served as the comic relief at Fox 2 for 16 years. He says he enjoyed bringing smiles to the people to start their days. Tim left Fox 2 in 2014 to be a full-time pastor at The Journey church in south St. Louis County then returned to St. Louis TV in 2016 with a show called The Thread, which celebrates amazing people in St. Louis while shining a bright light on all the great things they are doing and encouraging others to join those efforts. The Thread TV ministry, which was co-created with Virginia Kerr, airs on Fox 2 during Saturdays at 8:30 a.m. and on KPLR 11 Sundays at 9:30 a.m. Virginia left KMOV (Channel 4) and its Great Day St. Louis show in December 2014. Prior to launching The Thread, she reported news at the religious radio station KLJY-FM 99.1. Tim returned to the Fox 2 morning beat in October to deliver his unique brand of storytelling. He's originally from Fort Worth, Texas, and is a proud graduate of Louisiana State University. He graduated from Covenant Seminary in May 2017 with his master's of divinity degree. Tim and his wife, Kim, have three children: Halle, Lexi and Andrew. "I feel like all of this is absolutely my calling. At first, I thought I would have a traditional ministry, with four walls and a steeple. 20

But God had a different plan for me, one that allows me a larger platform and ways to cross more paths with more people," Tim says. "That's why it's so great to be back in this sweet spot at Fox." HOW TO THREAD UP The Thread is a nonprofit organization dedicated to spotlighting St. Louis and people who engage in service, revitalization and charitable opportunities. "We highlight the work being done here and now in our city, celebrate it and invite others to be a part of it," Tim says. "We desire for people to know God has called them to a particular path, to fill a particular role and be a particular voice in the city of St. Louis and beyond." Tim says they also seek to facilitate the joy in giving of ourselves to others, as well as the joy in living in and with "the community." "We believe we are most like God intended us to be when we are playing and serving with one another. We seek to educate and encourage people to participate in the many service, revitalization and charitable opportunities to be had in our city while sharing laughs and life along the way," he says. The premise is that many local people want to address the needs around them, but Tim says they don’t know where to start. A future goal of Tim's is to launch The Thread Live! as a once-monthly gathering in a different community in the bi-state area where Tim and his crew discuss that area's particular needs while introducing folks who can assist one another. "It will be a time of fellowship, welcome and spiritual worship," he says. He adds that he also has a heart for young people, citing that technology addiction is a growing problem in American culture with people connecting more with their phones than other people, eroding interpersonal skills and hindering the growth and depth of relationships. So, he also wants to host Unplugged events for youth, where they will turn in their phones for two hours and engage in a fun event, such as water balloon fights, scavenger hunts or dodgeball games, and receive a message and hope regarding the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Admission to the events will be a voluntary donation to whatever need is being sought to meet that month, such as school supplies, food items or clothes for the homeless. "We hope to take the show and the physical ministries to the next level during this new year by growing, increasing our volunteer base and bringing other people alongside me," Tim says. 22

local lifesavers MEET SOME REGIONAL WELLNESS EXPERTS ARTICLE JULIE BROWN PATTON PHOTOGRAPHY EMILY KAPPESSER

AS EVERYONE LOOKS FORWARD TO CREATING HEALTHY HABITS AT THE START OF A NEW YEAR, MANY PEOPLE SEEK OUT THE BEST HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS AND PROFESSIONALS THEY CAN FIND. For those particularly interested in experts who take extra care in dealing with patients and who spend time perfecting their portions of the health care industry, consider the following handful of specialists showcased here. AMANDA TRUDELL, DO, MSCI MATERNAL-FETAL MEDICINE PHYSICIAN MEMBER OF BJC MEDICAL GROUP ON STAFF AT MISSOURI BAPTIST MEDICAL CENTER PRACTICES AT TOWN AND COUNTRY PERINATOLOGY Dr. Trudell fosters team-based health care approaches for women with high-risk pregnancies, in addition to optimizing the well-being of babies. Consequently, she gained robust experience in clinical research regarding stillbirth prediction and prevention, intrauterine growth restriction and non-invasive prenatal testing. "I'm passionate about contributing to the reduction of maternal morbidity and mortality," says the doctor who actively works with statewide leaders regarding this medical challenge. She is dual board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology and maternal-fetal medicine and is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. She also Amanda Trudell, DO, MSCI | BJC Medical Group 28

Chesterfield Lifestyle | January 2019

completed a master's degree in clinical investigation from Washington University School of Medicine. She was appointed the director

of program development for the maternal-fetal medicine program at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. Additionally, she recently was awarded a Hollis Fellow award

the

American

College

Obstetrics and Gynecology District VII for excellence in mentorship and education, which enables her to advocate for women’s health on a regional level. “As I look to the future of this specialty, I'm actively working with statewide leaders on the development of systems, such as telehealth, to bring services directly to women within their own communities," Dr. Trudell says. "By bringing care directly to women, where they are, we can continue to provide the best outcomes for women and babies.” SCOTT MAHLIN, DDS, FAGD, FICOI CLARKSON DENTAL GROUP IN CHESTERFIELD Compassion in every detail is the foundation and continued focus in patient care at Clarkson Dental Group. As the office's owner, Dr. Mahlin, along with his dental staff, say they cater to patients who expect the highest quality of care delivered with a more personalized level of attention. They can assist with preventative, implant and cosmetic dental care in a pleasant and relaxed setting. He says he especially enjoys working in the Chesterfield area, after growing up down the street where he attended Lafayette High School. He completed his bachelor's degree in biology from St. Louis University and then earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2004. He also completed a post-graduate IV Sedation Residency at the University of Alabama and attained Fellowships with the International Congress of Oral Implantology, Misch International Implant Institute Surgical and Prosthetic Implant Program and the Academy of General Dentistry. "Clarkson Dental Group is a smaller dental practice, all by design, so we can treat every Scott Mahlin, DDS, FAGD, FICOI | Clarkson Dental Group in Chesterfield

patient in an unhurried atmosphere and manner where we really take time to know you and your needs," he says.

patients' apprehensions, the office provides in-office sedation to allow desired treatment to be gently achieved in a comfortable setting. Voted the Best Dentist in Chesterfield, Dr. Mahlin assures the Clarkson Dental Group team continues to aim for the optimal patient experience in all aspects of patient care both today and in the future. DR. PATRICIA ESTRADA, DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC, LOGAN UNIVERSITY Dr. Estrada is a chiropractic specialist who graduated with honors from Logan College Of Chiropractic in 1999. She now serves as a full-time clinician at Logan University's Montgomery Health Center in Chesterfield. She joined Logan in 2010 and is part of a clinical faculty group that oversees the training of Logan students, both in the classroom and in practice, as well as the care of patients. She also is bilingual and assists at community health center locations affiliated with Logan. "We're known as spine specialists, yet Logan provides an umbrella of services that go beyond adjustments, from pediatric care and radiology services to sports and rehabilitation," she says. "In a model where we're truly integrated by co-treating and referring our patients, it’s exciting to think about opportunities for collaboration and making a real difference in the lives of our patients." Dr. Estrada says Logan representatives in recent years have established partnerships and outreach programs with peers in health care: Mercy Hospital, Affinia Healthcare, CareSTL and various academic institutions, such as the University of Memphis and The University of Missouri. As for 2019, she says Logan staffers will continue

created a culture of leadership by providing education and professional development

Dr. Ian White, Chief Scientific Officer | IMAC Regeneration Center

opportunities for faculty and enriching experiences that challenge Logan's students’ skill set and enhance their overall education. DR. IAN WHITE, CHIEF SCIENTIFIC OFFICER OF IMAC REGENERATION CENTERS OZZIE SMITH IMAC REGENERATION CENTER Dr. White is an expert in regenerative medicine with 20 years’ experience working with cardiovascular biology, tissue regeneration and stem cell biology. While most regenerative medicine companies don't have a cellular research expert on staff, patients at Ozzie Smith IMAC Regeneration Center benefit from having access to Dr. White's keen insight into avant-garde advances in stem cell treatments on individuals who suffer from neurological disorders and autoimmune issues. He says many local IMAC patients come to the center with orthopedic challenges and pain, but they also treat people who have had strokes, suffer from Parkinson’s disease neuropathy or complex autoimmune conditions. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees

from

Liverpool

University,

England, prior to being hired at Dartmouth College to study the genetics of gamete biology. In August 2000, Dr. White was recruited to Harvard University—where he co-authored several peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts— to work with hematopoietic stem cells and immune cell biology under the mentorship of the world-renowned Dr. Laurie Glimcher. Dr. White received his doctorate from the Ansary Stem Cell Institute of Cornell University under the guidance of Dr. Shahin Rafii. During this time, he developed an in vitro method for culture expanding autologous stem cells in an artificial vascular niche for the treatment of cancer patients who have undergone bone marrow ablation following chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This technology since was commercialized by Cornell University and was described in several co-authored manuscripts and research grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health. “I'm very excited to be part of IMAC and utilize my research to further the treatments IMAC has to offer patients without the use of opioids or surgery," he says.

Dr. White also is the founder and president of BioFirma and was recently elected to chair the Scientific Committee for the American Association of Stem Cell Physicians. This health care leader fits well with the local IMAC team because Ozzie Smith always says, "the most important thing about St. Louis is the people." Dovetailing with that concept is Dr. White’s goal to reverse disease and improve wellness, rather than simply medicating symptoms. DR. RICHARD MAACK, MD, FACS PLASTIC SURGEON, SYNERGI MED SPA Dr. Maack opened a state-of-the-art facial surgery office in Chesterfield Valley 13 years ago after practicing for 14 years at St. Luke’s Hospital. His plastic surgery practice adjoins Synergi MedSpa off Baxter Road. He says he artistically and compassionately treats aging faces with surgical enhancements, such as face, brow and neck lifts and eyelid surgery. He also offers cosmetic injections, such as Botox and facial fillers to provide patients with a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance. Dr. Maack holds a degree from The University of Maryland and completed his residency through Washington University. He is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist. “Every enhancement procedure should mirror the complexity, emotion and individuality that's unique to each person's face," he says. He says he's enthused to be the only practice in St. Louis to offer "the ultimate solution to body contouring" by combining Coolsculpting with the latest medical advancement, Emsculpt, to build muscle with permanently burning fat.

The skinBe dripBar provides customized treatment options for each client with an experienced

mas-

ter-certified nurse to help achieve all anti-aging and wellness goals, Beth explains. “Every skinBe cocktail drip is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acid nutrients each person needs, in an easy and quick delivery method,” says Beth, whose background includes biology at the University of Missouri-Columbia and more than a decade of aesthetic and wellness industry experience. The skinBe medical team members indicate dehydration and vitamin deficiencies can contribute quite a lot to developing illnesses or worsening chronic diseases, along with a variety of other ailments. “Our cocktail drips deliver nutrition directly to the bloodstream, giving a one-of-a-kind boost from within. That allows nutrients to nourish your body at the cellular level, which can be very beneficial during winters when our bodies seem to be more vulnerable to germs and sickness,” Beth says. Among

dripBar

selections

are

the

“Queen B” beauty vitamin foundation; the “Deelicious” for overall wellness; the “Royal Flush” for ridding a body of toxins; the “Liquid Gold” as the do-everything drip that detoxifies, protects and energizes; the “Dominate” to increase endurance, performance and recovery; and the “VIP” for a rush of energy and antioxidants for daily life. Beth assures skinBe medical professionals can blend custom cocktail drips based on one’s personal anti-aging and wellness needs, health history or specific events. In addition to IV nutritional therapy, skinBe

staffers

offer aesthetic

injec-

tions, including Botox and dermal fillers, micro-needling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), PRP aesthetic injections, hair restoration, Kybella, monthly maintenance treatments and medical-grade skincare. Team members at skinBe Med Spa are dedicated to leading-edge anti-aging techniques and wellness services that help clients look and feel their best. They vow to help clients get new, healthy glows for 2019.

Nestled right off McCausland in the Hi-Pointe neighborhood, the Hi-Pointe Drive-In was the brainchild of Sugarfire Smoke House owner and restaurateur Mike Johnson. Only this time, Mike has managed to mix his chef-inspired burgers, sandwiches and salads too, with a nostalgic location that was previously a drive-in back in the '80s. And this combination is something you must experience firsthand, as dinner at the Hi-Pointe Drive-In will leave you with a feeling you won't soon forget.
