Women’s healthcare expands in North Fulton

Compassionate OB/GYN care is now in your neighborhood

Women’s health needs evolve at every stage of life— from adolescence and family planning to pregnancy, midlife transitions and beyond. To better serve the North Fulton community, Wellstar has opened a new OB/GYN office, expanding access to comprehensive, personalized care supported by Wellstar’s extensive network of women’s health experts, including Dr. Brianne Anderson and Dr. Jordan Rush.

We provide a full spectrum of obstetric and gynecologic services for adolescents and adults, including preventive exams, reproductive and menstrual health support, fertility and pregnancy care, and treatment for conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome. Care is centered on prevention, early detection and shared decision-making, ensuring treatment plans reflect patients’ lifestyles, goals and overall health. That philosophy guides every interaction.

“Women deserve a physician who listens, who takes time to understand their goals and who partners with

them through every phase of life,” said Dr. Anderson. “My goal is to create a space where patients feel comfortable asking questions and confident in their care.”

For expectant mothers, prenatal care extends beyond routine visits. Patients have coordinated access to advanced imaging, lab services, experienced hospital-based delivery teams and maternal-fetal medicine specialists for high -risk pregnancies. This integrated approach supports both physical and emotional well-being while allowing families to receive high-quality care nearby.

Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center is a Level II Maternal Care Center, providing 24/7 care by boardcertified obstetricians and anesthesia providers. Immediate access to cesarean delivery services ensures women receive high-quality care in a setting equipped to support both routine and more complex pregnancies.

The labor and delivery team provides a personalized environment for childbirth, with options including water labor to help manage pain and create a more comfortable, individualized birthing experience.

What sets Wellstar apart is a “one-stop” model designed to care for the whole person. Women who need specialized treatment for complex gynecologic conditions benefit from seamless access to a coordinated network of experts across obstetrics, gynecology, imaging and women’s specialty services. This close partnership between OB/GYN physicians, surgical specialists, imaging teams and hospital services creates a seamless experience—from routine appointments to advanced care centered around each woman’s unique health needs.

“At every age, women’s health is about more than a single appointment,” Dr. Anderson said. “It is about taking care of the whole person.”

As women enter perimenopause and menopause, Wellstar continues to provide personalized gynecologic care focused on symptom management, hormone therapy, bone and heart health, and wellness planning.

Regain your confidence with a permanent tooth replacement

Dental Implants are popular and effective for individuals who have lost one or more teeth. They offer several advantages and can significantly improve a person’s oral health, appearance, and quality of life. Here are the reasons that so many people are choosing to have dental implants:

1. Replacement of Missing Teeth: Dental Implants are used to replace missing teeth, whether it’s a single tooth or multiple teeth. This is important for restoring proper chewing function and maintaining the alignment of surrounding teeth.

2. Improved Aesthetics: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. They can enhance your smile, boost your self-confidence, and provide a more natural appearance compared to other tooth replacement options like dentures or bridges.

3. Enhanced eating ability: Dental implants provide strong biting and chewing capabilities, allowing you to enjoy a full range of foods, including hard and crunchy items without restrictions.

4. Comfort: Dental implants are comfortable and stable. Unlike removable dentures, they do not slip or move when eating or speaking, providing a natural and comfortable experience.

5. Convenience: Dental implants eliminate the need for messy adhesives or removal at night, as required with dentures. They function just like natural teeth, making daily oral hygiene routines

simple and hassle-free. Dental implants are brushed and flossed like all your other teeth.

6. Durability: Implants are a long-lasting solution. With proper care and maintenance, they can last a lifetime, whereas other options like dentures will require periodic adjustments or replacement.

7. Preservation of Jawbone: When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone can start to deteriorate over time. Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots and stimulate the bone, preventing bone loss and maintaining the integrity of the jawbone.

8. Improved Speech: Missing teeth, especially front teeth can affect speech clarity. Dental implants can restore normal speech patterns by replacing missing teeth.

9. No impact on adjacent teeth: Unlike dental bridges, which require the reduction of adjacent healthy teeth, dental implants do not affect nearby teeth. This helps preserve the long-term health of your natural teeth.

10. Whole Body Health: Dental implants and no missing teeth contribute to better oral and overall health by allowing you to eat all types of food without restrictions and eat a healthier diet. Filling the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing the shifting of neighboring teeth, and reducing the risk of gum disease and further tooth loss help feel and look better.

11. Prevention: Missing teeth can lead to problems with other teeth in your mouth as they shift out of their natural functioning position and work harder to compensate for the missing tooth. Replacing a lost tooth soon after losing it prevents higher costs in the future not just for one tooth, but for all your teeth.

Icotyde and the advent of Oral Peptide medication

protein-based drugs if you try to swallow them—they are broken down before they can work.

We are in a golden age of medicine. The last few decades have brought one breakthrough after another, and we may now be seeing another important step forward in psoriasis—a step that could hint at a broader shift in how medicines are designed.

To understand how far we’ve come, it helps to look back. Not that long ago, patients with psoriasis sometimes spent weeks in the hospital undergoing tar baths and other crude treatments just to get partial relief from this itchy and often debilitating disease. In severe cases, psoriasis could progress to erythroderma—a widespread, inflamed, scaly rash that could even be life-threatening due to problems with temperature and fluid regulation.

Things began to improve in 1972 with the approval of methotrexate for psoriasis. Methotrexate is reasonably effective but comes with risks like liver toxicity. Over time, light therapies and topical treatments helped, though they were often cumbersome. Starting in the early 2000s, biologic medications such as Humira, Enbrel, and later Skyrizi dramatically improved outcomes. These drugs are remarkably effective and generally well tolerated, but they are large protein molecules and must be given by injection or infusion.

Oral options followed. Otezla (2014) offered a safer alternative to methotrexate, though it is typically less effective than the best biologics and can cause GI and headache side effects. Another oral medicine, Sotyktu (2022), improved on some of those issues, but Sotyktu still doesn’t quite match the best biologics in efficacy.

That brings us to Icotyde, a newly approved oral medication targeting IL-23, a key driver of inflammation in psoriasis. In head-to-head trials versus Sotyktu, it has shown greater efficacy, with low rates of side effects. Early data suggest it may approach biologic-level effectiveness in a pill form—a long-sought goal in psoriasis treatment.

What makes Icotyde especially interesting is how it was designed.

The challenge with biologics is simple: they are proteins, and our digestive system is built to break proteins down. When you eat chicken, or take a collagen supplement, stomach acid and digestive enzymes reduce those proteins into amino acids and small peptides, which the body then reuses as building blocks. The same thing happens to most

For a long time, making an effective oral peptide drug was considered extremely difficult. Icotyde represents a different approach. It is a small peptide—just 13 amino acids—but carefully engineered to resist breakdown long enough to be absorbed.

One key feature is that it is cyclic. Most peptides are linear chains with exposed ends, which enzymes can easily attack. Icotyde is chemically “closed” into a loop, which makes it much harder for many enzymes to degrade it. It also contains structural features—such as steric bulk (imagine big lumps of atoms) and internal “bridges”—that further protect vulnerable bonds and resist digestion.

Its chemical properties are also balanced so it can function in the gut. It can dissolve in the watery environment of the digestive tract while still interacting with lipid membranes, allowing some of the drug to cross the intestinal barrier. This doesn’t mean it completely avoids digestion—some of it is still broken down—but enough survives and is absorbed to have a therapeutic effect.

Another important point is potency. Icotyde binds very effectively to the IL-23 receptor. Because of this, even a relatively small amount reaching the bloodstream can be enough to produce meaningful clinical benefit.

Working in concert, these design elements make Icotyde succeed where other peptides couldn’t. Icotyde is not “immune” to digestion, but it is engineered to resist it, survive long enough, and be absorbed in sufficient quantities to work. That combination—molecular stability, absorption, and potency—is what allows an oral peptide drug to succeed. And the decision to push forward with designing a protein that could survive our digestive process was surprising, creative, and incorporated solutions that are truly ingenious.

Multiple companies are now working on similar strategies, trying to design peptide-based drugs that can be taken by mouth rather than injected for multiple different diseases. Icotyde accomplished proof of principle and led the way.

We may be at the beginning of a broader shift—one where some medications that once required injections can instead be taken as pills. If that trend continues, Icotyde could end up being an early example of a new class of therapies rather than a one-off breakthrough.

Providing a full and accurate medical history to your dentist is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your oral and overall health. While many patients understand the need to share medical information with their physician, they sometimes underestimate how closely dentistry and general health are connected. Your dentist relies on your medical history to deliver safe, effective, and personalized care.

According to the American Dental Association (ADA), oral health is directly linked to systemic health. Conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and osteoporosis can significantly affect your teeth and gums and vice versa. The plaque on your teeth is the same plaque that can form in your heart to cause a heart attack and the same plaque that can form in your brain and cause a stroke. If your dentist is unaware of your conditions or medical diagnoses, they are missing critical information to provide you with optimal care and education.

Another critical reason for providing accurate information is medication safety. Many common medications including blood thinners, antidepressants, and blood pressure drugs can impact dental treatment and oral health. Blood thinners, for instance, may increase bleeding during procedures such as extractions or periodontal therapy. Certain medications can also cause dry mouth, which increases the risk of cavities and oral infections. If your dentist does not know what you are taking, they cannot adjust treatment plans or recommend preventive measures to protect your oral health.

Pregnancy is also important to disclose. Hormonal changes can increase the risk of pregnancy gingivitis, and treatment timing may need to be adjusted. Reducing or elimination risks associated with dental X-rays and medications can be safely managed during pregnancy, but only if your dental team is aware of your condition.

Despite these facts, common misconceptions persist. One frequent belief is, “If it’s not related to my teeth, my dentist doesn’t need to know.” This is simply not true. Dentistry involves more than "just teeth." It includes the gums, jaw, oral tissues, and how they interact with the rest of your body. It all starts with the mouth. If your mouth is not healthy, there is a good chance another part of you is not healthy either. Another misconception is that “My dentist already has my records, so I don’t need to update anything.” Medical histories should be reviewed and updated regularly because health conditions and medications often change over time.

Some patients also hesitate to share information they consider minor, such as controlled high blood pressure or herbal supplement use. However, even supplements like ginkgo biloba or high doses of vitamin E can affect bleeding. Full transparency allows your dentist to anticipate and prevent complications.

Ultimately, providing a complete and honest medical history builds trust and strengthens the partnership between you and your dental team. It reduces risks, improves diagnostic accuracy, and supports better long-term outcomes. At Roswell Dental Care, our goal is to provide safe, comprehensive care, and that begins with understanding your total health picture. Taking a few extra minutes to carefully review and update your medical history can make a meaningful difference in protecting both your smile and your overall well-being.

For enhanced comfort, we offer FREE conscious sedation, including nitrous oxide. Rest assured that your experience will be positive, relaxing, and rewarding.

The ‘Wild West’ of Peptides: Why Source Matters More Than Price

Brought to you by –

OlympusMD Milton

Peptides have quickly become one of the most talked-about tools in modern wellness. From weight loss and hormone optimization to recovery and longevity, their potential is exciting—and in many cases, very real. But with that rapid growth has come a problem. Right now, the peptide space is a bit like the Wild West. There are reputable medical providers using peptides safely and effectively… and then there are online vendors selling “research peptides” with little to no oversight. To the average person, they can look similar. In reality, they are not.

Not all peptides are created equal

A common misconception is that peptides are interchangeable—that a vial purchased online is the same as one prescribed through a medical clinic. It’s not. When peptides are part of a structured medical approach, they are:

• Sourced from vetted manufacturers or regulated compounding pharmacies

• Prescribed based on individual needs

• Monitored for safety and effectiveness

• Integrated into a broader health plan

Many online products, however, are labeled “for research use only.” That distinction matters. In fact, some require buyers to acknowledge the product is not intended for human use, and in certain cases, even require documentation of research intent. That alone should give consumers pause.

The Hidden Risk of “Saving Money”

Online peptides can appear significantly less expensive. But what’s often missing is everything that actually makes them work safely and effectively. There is typically:

• No medical oversight

• No personalized dosing guidance

• No verification of purity or potency

• No support if something goes wrong

And most importantly—no reliable assurance of what’s actually in the vial. Reputable clinics take a very different approach. The peptides they use are sourced from vendors who undergo independent third-party verification an expensive but critical process that confirms purity, sterility, and accurate dosing. That level of quality control is not optional. It’s essential.

Peptides are only one piece of the puzzle

Another key difference is how

peptides are used. At a clinical level, peptides are not a standalone solution— they are part of a broader, structured approach to health. At OlympusMD Wellness, this is built around the Seven Pillars of Health, which include:

• Genetic Insight – understanding how your body is uniquely wired

• Cellular Replenishment – restoring energy and function at the cellular level

• Peptide Therapy – targeted support for healing, metabolism, and performance

• Weight Mastery – sustainable, medically guided fat loss

• Hormonal Optimization – balancing key hormones for long-term health

• Mood & Brain Resilience – supporting mental clarity and emotional wellbeing

• Lifestyle Coaching – aligning daily habits with long-term results

Peptides work best when they are aligned with these broader factors—especially lab data, genetics, and overall health goals. Without that context, even the “right” peptide can produce poor results.

A smarter approach

If you’re considering peptides, the goal shouldn’t be to find the cheapest option. It should be to find the safest and most effective path forward. That means:

• Working with a licensed medical provider

• Using products verified by independent third-party testing

• Following a personalized plan—not just buying a product

Our love affair with booze goes back many generations. Most of us like to enjoy an alcoholic beverage from time to time. We are all aware of the health risks of excessive alcohol consumption, but surprisingly, most of us don’t think about alcohol as a risk factor for cancer. There is a consensus among scientific researchers that alcohol consumption increases the risk of developing multiple types of cancer, including cancer of the head and neck, esophagus, breast, colon, liver, pancreas, and prostate. The more alcohol you consume, the higher your risk of getting cancer.

Is there a safe amount to consume?

The American Institute for Cancer Research recommends not to drink alcohol at all, but if you do, limit it to two drinks for men and one drink for women each day. One drink equals 12 fluid ounces of beer, 5 fluid ounces of wine, or 1.5 fluid ounces of hard liquor. It is also important to note that alcohol’s cancer-causing effect is magnified by smoking tobacco. Studies have shown that people who use both alcohol and tobacco have a greater risk of developing cancers of the mouth, throat, and esophagus compared to those who use either alcohol or tobacco alone.

If you choose to consume alcohol, please do so responsibly!

Riding the wave… or getting caught in it

One of the best times in my personal life I can remember is living in Southern California for a couple of years during graduate school. I was lucky enough to live a 5- minute walk from the beach and the bustling Pacific Ocean. I lived in Huntington Beach, a place very well known to surfers around the world. So, I told myself upon moving there that I would learn to surf. I followed through with my vow and took a lesson. After a few tries, I was able to stand up and ride a wave with nothing but the water and a thin foam board holding me up. Inevitably there came times when I attempted to stand up knowing I was going to fall right back into the water. I wanted to grow and become stronger, so why not right? The problem is when you go for a 5-foot-tall wave and you’re used to surfing 1–2-foot waves, everything feels 5x faster and more intense… including the crash. I can remember a time when I paddled my heart out for a “too big” wave. All at once, I found myself paddling over the quickly forming wave as I let it lift me higher until I had no choice but to try and stand up. The momentum was too strong, and I couldn’t hold it together. In an instant, I fell straight down the 5-foot wall of rushing water until I was no longer above the wave or deep under it (which is preferable), but I was caught in the middle of it. If you have never been caught in a crashing Pacific Ocean wave while attached to a surfboard, I can promise you it is nothing short of what can only be compared to being caught in a washing machine set to heavy duty. The only way to get through it is to let it pass. The more you struggle and fight against it, the more tired you will become and the more difficult it will be to swim to safety once it has passed. There is common DBT skill that is used when teaching emotional

regulation called “riding the wave”. But I want to take it one step further. Because knowing it will pass is one thing, but choosing to embrace it and allow it to wash over you is another. I like this metaphor of surfing because it reminds us that sometimes we can’t ride the wave perfectly. We get caught in it and it feels like it will never pass. But emotions, while incredibly uncomfortable at times, are not bad. They are simply indicators of some part of us that need care and attention. Often, the more we struggle and fight against our emotions, the harder it makes it for them to pass. Next time you feel an uncomfortable emotion, I invite you to try and not fight it. But rather be curious about it, sit with it, ask it questions, and trust that it will pass without you having to do anything to force it to go away. Most importantly, give yourself grace for feeling emotion in the first place. Riding the wave can be easier said than done, but just like surfing, you will get better with practice.

Importance of skin checks for mature skin

Brought

Dr. Kehinde Olumesi of Epiphany Dermatology - Brookhaven

As skin matures, it undergoes various changes that necessitate regular skin checks to ensure overall skin health. Differentiating between age spots, healthy moles and potential skin cancers is crucial. Age spots, often appearing as flat, brown, or black spots on sun-exposed areas, are generally harmless but can be mistaken for more serious conditions. Early detection of skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. Therefore, routine skin examinations are essential for mature skin to maintain health and catch any issues early.

Addressing skin conditions and rejuvenation procedures

Dermatologists can assist with a variety of skin conditions and rejuvenation procedures for mature skin. Common issues such as dryness, age-related pigmentation and conditions like rosacea, psoriasis and eczema, which can persist or develop with age, are also addressed with specialized care plans. In addition to treating conditions, dermatologists offer rejuvenating procedures to enhance the appearance and health of mature skin. Treatments such as chemical peels, laser rejuvenation and injectable treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improve skin texture and promote collagen production. These procedures not only rejuvenate the skin but also boost confidence and overall well-being. Establishing a relationship with a dermatologist ensures that your skin receives comprehensive care tailored to its evolving needs, promoting long-term skin health and vitality.

Home elevators

Is it the right choice for your home?

Brought to you by – Mobility Plus Alpharetta

You love your home, the memories associated with it and your community. You need roll-in second-floor access for a loved one currently using (or eventually using) powered mobility equipment and are considering an elevator.

Read on to discover how investing in a through-the-floor home elevator can allow you to remain in the home you love for years to come!

Aesthetics – Through-the-floor elevators are shaftless and spacesaving. A medium-sized cabin only requires a footprint of 43 ¼” by 42 ¾.”

Custom floor panels, ambient lighting and seating are available options that can blend with your interior design.

Features– Pollock elevators are whisper quiet, provide external controls on both floors and an easy-to-read diagnostic display. Three available sizes allow for a user in powered mobility equipment plus a caregiver to travel safely and comfortably. Pollock lifts support up to 507 lbs.

Care and MaintenancePollock home elevators have been manufactured outside of Belfast, Ireland since 1983. They are made to withstand the rigors of daily use, but

should a service issue arise, Mobility Plus Alpharetta will continue to service your unit for the lifetime of the product.

Stairlift, Vertical Platform Lift or Elevator? Someone who can easily and SAFELY walk and transfer from one chair to another but just needs help navigating stairs is a candidate for a stairlift. This user does not have to use powered mobility equipment in the home, nor do they have a diagnosis that might evolve to this point. Vertical platform lifts are ideal for someone who is using a powered mobility device all or most of the time within the home but isn’t necessarily traveling between floors. They just need to span a shorter lifting distance of garage steps for example. VPL’s also can have a higher weight capacity than elevators (up to 750lbs vs. 507lbs). This is an important consideration if one is using a complex rehab chair (which can weigh over 350lbs in many cases) and will also need a caregiver with them during travel. Elevators are a great choice to add value to the home and to move between floors with the most ease and style.
