Which brings me to my main point: Intuitively, we know the health benefits of working out. But another benefit is the people you meet and friendships you develop, like the one I’m blessed to have with Michael. Our friendship began like most gym friendships do: first, with a slight nod and smile. Then a hello, and eventually a “see you tomorrow.” Before long, we were striking up conversations. I soon learned Dr. Michael Kuchera, who specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Summit Medical Group, Rodney Folmar, Sr.
I’d like to begin this issue by acknowledging and thanking Dr. Kuchera, Dr. Rolandelli, Dr. Bamboat and the entire UHMLA organization for the mission they have undertaken. The way I see it, this is just one of the incredible added benefits of going to the gym. The people we meet. Doctors on a Mission, read their story on page 24.

Of course, we’re creatures of habit, aren’t we? Even with a laundry list of choices, we tend to stick with what’s familiar. And just like going to your favorite restaurant or dry cleaner, you’ve probably stuck with your favorite gym for years. This isn’t a bad thing! It’s encouraging, stimulating, and sometimes necessary to maintain your routine in an environment of like-minded people.

Incredible, isn’t it? How four times a year, without pay or fanfare, he and others travel to some of the most re mote parts of the world to help people in desperate need.
Think: reducing caloric intake, eating healthier, quitting smoking, minimizing alcohol consumption, managing stress, and exercising regularly. These simple strategies help us achieve our goals and get the most out of life.

Congratulations to Morristown resident Russell (Russ) Michel son who recently joined RB (for merly known as Reckitt Benck iser) as Regulatory Director. RB is a multi-national consum er goods company based in the United Kingdom. Russ will oversee U.S. and global regulatory activities for RB’s dietary supple ment line. Raised in Northern New Jersey, Russ graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in General Biology from the University of Maryland, College Park. While in college, he followed his passion by focusing on natu ral medicine and nutrition. Following graduation, Russ interned with the FDA, spending time with the Cen ter for Food Safety. After 4.5 years at Solgar Vitamin and Herb in New Jersey, Russ went to work for GNC, where he supported international dossier preparation for their line of botanical, nutritional, food, sports supple ments, and OTC products. For the past six and half years, he was with Pfiz er Consumer Healthcare, most recently as lead of their U.S. regulatory team. It was in that role that Russ over saw all dietary supplement and cosmetic programs and became responsible for engagement with the two larg est trade associations in his field, the Council for Re sponsible Nutrition (CRN) and the Consumer Health care Products Association (CHPA). Through his latest career move, Russ continues his role as co-chair of the Regulatory Affairs Committee with CRN. Russ role at RB, in partnership with CRN and CHPA, allows Russ opportunities to meet directly with the FDA, FTC, and members of Congress, present at industry conferences and events on important indus try topics, and help lead the charge with key decision makers in the Dietary Supplement industry. Between work and travel, Russ has continued to prioritize fitness and nutrition, improvising workouts wherever he stays and finding ways to either pack sup plements or have them delivered to his hotel.

Many reproductive centers and fertility specialists refer their patients for acupuncture and their success rates are very often increased with the addition of acupuncture to IVF proto cols. Acupuncture helps women by stimulating ovarian function and regulating hormonal output which leads to the production and delivery of healthier, more fertile eggs and a well-nourished uterine lining to accommodate a fertilized egg. With acupuncture and specific Chinese herbal formulas, women will experience more regular and comfortable menstrual cycles, healthy hormon al balance and timely ovulation phases. Most women report that a great benefit of acupuncture is that they feel more relaxed and can tolerate the sometimes harsh side-effects of fertility medica tions. Acupuncture also helps women go through the common difficulties of pregnancy such as nausea, fatigue, back pain, hy pertension and other symptoms. Acupuncture can also be very helpful for conditions that arise later in pregnancy such as breech and can help ensure a smooth, comfortable childbirth.
Acupuncture Traditional Chinese Medicine for Fertility and Reproductive & Health
Common gynecological problems like painful or irregular menstruation, PMS symptoms, polycystic ovary syndrome, uterine fibroids, urinary pain or incontinence and other condi tions can be helped with acupuncture. Many women are turning to this ancient medical therapy as an alternative to medications and surgery. Men who suffer from low sperm count, prostate problems and other common problems can also be helped with acupuncture and herbal medicine. We seek to offer holistic, natural support for partners so they can share in the responsibil ities and joy of successful pregnancy and childbirth.
The Acupuncture Center of New Jersey in Morristown has helped hundreds of couples realize their dreams for children and families. If you have questions please make an appointment with Dr. Peter Kadar or Punita Jhangiani for a consultation.
Acupuncture is comfortable and relaxing. Many women find it is a great help when they are going through the frustration and stress of fertility treatment. If you or your partner are having difficulties with fertility or reproductive issues It’s important to consult with an acupuncturist who is experienced and certified to treat patients with these issues.
The hormonal changes predispose weight gain in the middle section shifting the body composition and increasing fat mass around the gut and organs in the abdomen. This type of fat is called visceral fat and increase the risk for heart disease, dia betes, and high cholesterol. However, sedentary lifestyle, lack of sleep and physical activity, genetic factors and just aging in general, are also contributors.

What is it about menopause that changes our bod ies so much? Menopause is a natural transition in life but the hormonal changes starting during the peri-menopausal years can lead to hot flash es, night sweats, mood swings, irritability, memory loss, in somnia, and weight gain. So, why is weight gain so common during menopause? Is it truly related to hormonal changes and inevitable? Although common, weight gain can be avoided with appropriate changes that include healthy eating and an active lifestyle.
It is not uncommon to feel less energetic, less motivated and have difficulty sleeping during menopause. This leads to less “
. ”
Although there is no easy fix to prevent or reverse weight gain during menopause, there are many lifestyle changes that can help. In order to lose weight effectively and keep it off perma nently, you need to eat a healthy diet and smaller portions than in your 30-40’s (200-250 calories less a day). There is no one size fits all but in general a Mediterranean type diet with ade quate fruit, vegetables, and legumes in addition to lean protein and healthy fats are a good choice. Avoid sweets, processed foods items and eliminate alcoholic beverages that are full of empty calories. Increase your activity by strength training at least twice a week and low impact aer obics at least 150 minutes a week. In addition to regular exer cise, park your car and walk more. Dance when you vacuum the house. Exercise produces endorphins that make us happier. It’s the little things that will keep you moving and prevent you from gaining those extra pounds. Menopause doesn’t mean you have to let your weight get out of control. Talk to your physician and find out what you can do to help keep those extra pounds under control. Learning about what your body needs will make it easier to maintain your weight and stay healthy and fit.

exercise, decreased activity and frequently poor food choices. As we age, the muscle mass decrease and the fat mass increases leading to decreased metabolic rate and consequently our body burns fewer calories than previously for the same activity. It’s easier to gain weight and harder to lose it. Genetics are also a factor and your parents and close relatives body fat distribution may be similar to yours.
The Hormone Connection During menopause, the production of the hormone estrogen de creases significantly compared to previous years. The drop in estrogen levels affects multiple areas in the body including the brain, heart, ovaries, uterus, vagina, bones, etc. Reduced estro gen levels may lower basal metabolic rate which means that we need fewer calories to maintain the same weight. It is thought, although not proven, that decreased estrogen leads to decreased energy levels and decreased activity. It also affects your mood, appetite, and other bodily functions that dictate exercise, sexual activity, and how your body regulates glucose levels.

There is a Gap in Primary Health Care: A Gap Nurse Prac titioners Can Fill Due to the shortages in the number of doctors choosing a career in primary care, the number of physicians available to replace retiring primary care providers is lacking. However, the Amer ican Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP), estimates there are more than 270,000+ licensed Nurse Practitioners in the U.S. As the physician shortage continues, Nurse Practi tioners have answered the call. Licensed Nurse Practitioners have been providing primary, specialty and acute health care to people of all ages for more than 50 years. As a result, Nurse Practitioners are closing the gap being left by the limited number of physicians providing primary care and they are performing many of the same ser vices. In collaboration with their physician colleagues, Nurse Practitioners ensure patients have competent quality care and receive appropriate treatment in a timely manner – a hallmark of KinFolk Family Health.
KinFolk Family Health is also an excellent option for the self-employed, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who want to offer quality affordable healthcare to their employees. Health care services are delivered by Board Certified KinFolk Family Health Nurse Practitioners. Also, patients who are in the military and/or a student receive a 15 percent discount (School ID and/or Proof of Military Status Required).

Rakiyah T. Jones, DNP, MBA, MPH, AGACNP, FNP-BC, was raised in Newark, New Jersey. He received his Master of Science and Doc tor of Nursing Practice in Family Nurse Practitioner degrees from the School of Nursing at Columbia University in New York, a post-mas ter’s certificate in Adult-Gerontology and Acute Care from the Uni versity of Pennsylvania and completed a Fellowship in Palliative and End-of-Life Care at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, NY through Columbia University. In addition, he continues to proudly serves the country as a Captain Jones in the United States Army Reserve. He currently resides in East Orange, New Jersey, with his wife, Lanita Ward-Jones, and son, Harper.
“At KinFolk Family Health, quality always outweighs quan tity, which is why we deliver value-based, not volume-based care,” says Dr. Kai. “We build strong relationships with our patients, we create these bonds by providing each patient with affordable, patient-centered and community-focused health care. We provide a unique holistic nursing approach, which focuses on not only illness, but self-care, wellness and quali ty of life. The care that vulnerable communities deserve, but lack access.”
The Direct Primary Care (DPC) Payment Model
The monthly premium an individual pays is determined by age: 18-29: $79.99 30-49: $89.99 50+: $99.99 65+ (Medicare Non-Eligible): $139.99 65+ (Medicare Non-Eligible): $139.99 Health Insured (All Ages): $39.99
Dr. Kai has an unwavering desire to give back to the commu nity in which he was raised. His love of medicine and dream of helping those who have little, to no access to healthcare ser vices, has guided him along the way. After serving his country on active duty as an Army Nurse Corps Officer he returned home to continue his advanced education. While working to wards those degrees he realized there was more that he could do then just graduate and work for another company. This led him to become an entrepreneur, and he founded, the Minority and Veteran owned KinFolk Health brand leading to the Kin Folk Family Health Center in Montclair, New Jersey.
ticipate in our DPC model, patients must be at least 18 years of age. Upon joining the Kinfolk Family, the patient pays a flat monthly membership premium and receives unlimited of fice and Telehealth visits, requiring no co-pays or deductibles, and much more.
Kinfolk Family Health offers the Direct Primary Care Pay ment model. With this payment model, claims are not sent to insurance providers; instead, a DPC payment arrangement is made between the patient and KinFolk Family Health. To par
Dr. Kai wants to ensure his members are covered for not only their primary care needs, but for those unexpected medical events causing significant financial burden and strain on fami lies. As a result, KinFolk Family Health partnered with Sedera Health, a medical cost-sharing community. Enrolling in KinFolk membership plan offers the option to add a Sedera Health plan to cover the larger healthcare needs at approximately half the cost of traditional insurance. Dr. Kai believes everyone should have access to affordable and quality whole-person focused health care, which is why he offers additional self-care options focus ing on mind, body and spirit such as monthly acupuncture and massage therapy sessions. Unfortunately, health insurance and self-care services are not always accessible for vulnerable com munities. In response, Dr. Kai has developed an affordable and innovative healthcare delivery model to provide patient-directed medical care at a lower cost, start-to-finish.

During vein treatment, vein surgeons irritate the diseased vein in ways that caus es the blood vessel to swell up and seal shut. Sclerotherapy uses a chemical to irritate the vein, while laser treatments use light energy. Once the vein seals shut, the body routes blood through other veins. In time, the treated vein dissolves; nearby tissue absorbs the remnants of the vein. Vein treatment does not prevent the development of new veins.
• Identify and avoid stress triggers – determine which situa tions stress you out and try to avoid them
How Does Vein Treatment Work?
ABOUT
Your body converts the calories from food and drink into energy, of course, and stores excess calories as fat. Consuming more calories than you burn through exercise causes you to gain weight, while burning more calories than you consume causes you to lose weight. But how many calories does it take to gain or lose one pound? This means you have to consume 3500 fewer calories than you burn to lose one pound. You can do this by eating less or by exercising more, or both. Of course, this doesn’t happen instantly – the weight comes and goes slowly over the course of a few days. So over the course of a week, you would have to burn 500 more calories each day than you take in to lose a pound.

eriodontal disease (gum disease) is an inflamma tory condition affecting the periodontal tissues that are responsible for supporting the teeth. Once the initial stage of gum disease, which is referred to as gingivitis, develops, seeking treat ment is essential; otherwise, gingivitis may progress to the more severe form of the disease, periodontitis. If periodonti tis develops, the gums may begin to recede. The good news is that advancements in Periodontics have led to the cre ation of innovative procedures like the Chao Pinhole Sur gical Technique (PST), which is a minimally-invasive treat ment available in Northern New Jersey that is specifically designed to treat gum recession.
TRADiTiOnAl SURgERiES TO TREAT gUm REcESSiOn Gingival Graft - During this procedure, tissue grafts are used to reinforce areas where the gums have thinned or to fill in areas where recession has occurred. These tissue grafts are usu ally taken from the roof of the patient’s mouth. Problems with color variances between the graft and gum are common.
With the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, multiple teeth can be addressed during a single session. Of course, cost varies and depends on the severity of the recession; however, for most patients, since more teeth can be addressed during one Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation session, this innovative procedure is typi cally less expensive than the traditional treatments are.
Pwww.hwfessex.com
Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation involves using specially-designed dental instruments to create a tiny hole in the gingival tissue. The tissue is gently loosened and then slid over to cover the exposed root. Patients experience very little pain, inflammation and bleeding following the PST. Furthermore, most patients are surprised at how this procedure instantly improves the look of their smile.
None of the previous procedures can compare to the Chao Pin hole Surgical Technique. This innovative method was invented and patented by John Chao, DDS, MAGD, and offers the pa tient a procedure for addressing a receding gumline that does not require incisions or sutures.
Daily brushing and flossing removes plaque, a sticky bio film full of bacteria, that is continually accumulating on the teeth. If plaque is not removed, the gums become irritated, inflamed and tender: These are the symptoms of gingivitis. Furthermore, if plaque is not removed within 24 to 72 hours, it hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional. As gum disease advances, the tartar that has accumulated caus es pockets to form between the teeth and gums. These pockets fill with bacteria. The bacteria multiply and the periodontal tis sues supporting the teeth are sustaining damage. This ongoing damage leads to gum recession and the roots become visible: Gum recession may affect one tooth or many teeth.
Only one or two teeth can usually be treated at a time and graft procedures are quite painful, some more than others. Further more, a single session can cost anywhere from $600 to $1,200.

Tunnel Techniques - With tunnel techniques, multiple areas of recession can be treated on adjoining teeth, but incisions and stitches are still required.
Pedicle Graft - A flap of gum tissue that is near the exposed root is cut, with one corner remaining attached. The gum flap is pulled over the exposed root and stitched into place.

magine you or your child require immediate medical at tention. You live 80 miles from the nearest hospital or clinic: no public transportation, no car, no Uber. Now imagine the clinic is only open one day a week and doesn’t have the equipment necessary to diagnose or treat you or your child’s condition.
While many Americans live with the everyday incon venience of living 2 to 5 miles from the nearest hospital or medical facility, most can expect to receive care that utilizes advanced, state-of-the-art, and evidence-based techniques and technologies.
Across the globe, however, millions of people must trav el significantly farther to seek help—only to receive less ad vanced and more standard medical care once they find a way to get there. Those living in remote parts of the world are the most affected, even when the rest of their country has access to high quality care.

UHMLA co-founder Dr. Rolandl Rolandelli, MD, FACS, is the Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Morristown Medical Center. He cites personal ties to Latin America as a
It’s worth noting that UHMLA doctors pay their own way for each trip, which can cost as much as $35,000 to $45,000. The team also must bring all the supplies they need, since ultrasound and other equipment are often scarce or non-existent in the areas in which they operate. To help offset the cost of the trip for nurses and residents, UHMLA provides scholarships and holds additional fundraisers. Other organizations, including pharmaceutical companies, also donate supplies and equipment. Is the outreach worth the inevitable challenges and hefty investment of resources?
Dr. Kuchera became involved in UHMLA after meeting Dr. Diehl and Dr. Rolandelli during the organization’s early stages. The nonprofit was a perfect outlet to fulfill his desire to use his surgical skills in Latin America. Since joining forces with UHMLA, Dr. Kuchera has completed five trips performing gynecological surgeries in Guatemala, Honduras, and Peru.
The doctors and volunteers of UHMLA (in English: Latin America Mo bile Hospital Unit) have now made multiple trips to this country with the goal of helping these people receive the care they need. Services are pro vided in mobile units—outfitted trucks and trailers—that travel to different communities in order to make contact with a greater number of people.
“My goal is to keep adding locations and connect all those dots.”
Dr. Michael W. Kuchera, is an attending physician at Morristown Medical Center and UHMLA board member, has no doubt that it is. “I am constantly humbled by patients and family members thanking and praying for me for leaving my home and family to help. I am grateful to have the time as well as skill set to help those much less fortunate.”

Dr. Rolandelli has also traveled extensively to Latin America throughout his career. His background and experience has helped him “realize the need there” for improved access to higher quality medical care in these parts of the world. Practicality and sustainability also played a role in UHMLA’s origins. Dr. Rolandelli says, “we have access here to [medical] supplies that some times are no longer used, and there’s so much we discard. It’s good to be able to use it

Like many rural residents of Central and South American countries, the people living in remote areas of Peru do not have access to amenities enjoyed by the majority of North Americans.

Accessing medi cal care is a hardship, and illnesses and injuries can make an already difficult life even more challenging.

Dr. Zubin M. Bamboat, MD, FACS, is Director of General Surgical On cology at Summit Medical Group in New Jersey. (Summit Medical Group is the largest private multi-specialty group in the United States. Comprised of more than 900 medical providers including physicians, nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, and physician assistants, Summit Medical provides a full range of medical and surgical care.)
Dr. Bamboat is also a credentialed surgical oncologist at Morristown Medical Center. His expertise is in minimally invasive techniques used to treat patients with tumors and cancers of the skin, esophagus, pancreas, stomach, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, small intestine, colon and rectum. He led UHMLA’s most recent venture to Yantaló. In the short time they were there, the team performed over 50 surgeries. As many as 70 surgeries per week is not out of the ordinary for this hard-working group. Keep in mind, these interventions are done in mobile units, in remote areas of foreign countries, with limited access to the ameni ties and supplies that are par for the course in American hospitals.
Among the patients he has seen on his Peruvian trips, Dr. Bamboat recalls a 34-year-old man for Lynch syndrome, also known as hereditary

Safety is the number one concern. This is why I intro duced the Ideal Implant as an alternative to silicone implants to our area a few years ago. This is a saline implant with an internal layered structure that makes it feel like silicone, yet it offers the safety and the peace of mind of a saline implant, not requiring an MRI every two years to rule out a silent rupture. Arm lifts, tummy tucks, and liposuction are the other rou tine procedures that I do. I truly believe that using my 35 years of experience in plastic surgery allows me to offer values to my patients that are hard to beat.

Dr. Rafizadeh has been recognized year after year by mul tiple publications as a “Top Doctor” and “Top Surgeon” in the New Jersey and New York Metropolitan areas. In 2010, he was the recipient of the exclusive Patient Choice Award and the Compassionate Doctor Award. Facial Rejuvenation “Surgery is my art and my passion,” says. Dr. Rafizadeh. “...my extensive experience makes my surgery effortless.”
The right judgements and decisions come naturally, and pos itive responses from patients make my work pleasurable.” I especially enjoy performing facial rejuvenation, with proce dures such as face and neck lifts serving as the foundation for a younger face. These surgeries are often combined with upper and lower eyelid surgery to get rid of bags and loose skin. Brow lifts are important to keep the overall facial harmony and balance.
Dr. Rafizadeh completed his pre-medical degree at Neu chatel University in Switzerland before graduating with his medical degree from Lausanne School of Medicine in Swit zerland. He then came to the U.S. for postgraduate training, including a General Surgery residency at Saint Barnabas Med ical Center and Chief Residency at Morristown Memorial Hos pital. To further advance his training, Dr. Rafizadeh completed a fellowship in Plastic Surgery at New York Hospital, Cornell Medical Center (New York Presbyterian) and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
BEFORE AFTER plastic surgeons didn’t know it was a viable option and dis couraged patients from doing it. He played a role in making this operation popular nation wide. Dr. Rafizadeh educates patients about the procedure, and he has received great reviews on sites like Realself, where he was honored with a 100/500 Hall Of Fame Award. I have made my facial surgery as safe and minimally in vasive as possible, performing 95% of the cases under local anesthesia with moderate sedation in the operating room with a specialized monitoring nurse. I believe this is the most effec tive and safest way to do facial plastic surgery and is the way of the future. These operations are the gold standard of facial rejuvena tion surgery and will always remain the best option for anyone who is serious about making a difference in their looks. Addi tionally, fat grafting to the face regenerates the lost volume and helps to get more natural and youthful results.

I love what I do says Dr. Rafizadeh, “I enjoy interacting with my patients very much.” “I am fortunate to be in perfect health and be able to enjoy what I am passionate about.” I keep physically active with tennis almost every day, eat well and exercise. I also keep my workload under control and only do what I truly enjoy and what gives me the most satisfaction.”
There are non-invasive techniques that really work. Things like Botox and Dysport reduce active, muscle related wrinkles and raise the eyebrows or the corners of the mouth. Fillers like Restylane and Radiesse restore lost volume in the face and fill certain furrows.
According to Dr. Rafizadeh he has two primary focuses when it comes to plastic surgery. First, obtaining great results and having satisfied patients is a constant positive reinforce ment. Second, sticking to doing what really works and staying away from methods that produce minimal and questionable re sults, where it is hard to tell the difference between before and after the procedure.

STAND UP FOR YOUR HEALTH Did you know that sitting for 6-8 hours per day is associated with an increased risk of chronic ill ness and early death—regardless of how much you exercise? In other words, regular workouts don’t offset the negative effects of sitting too much. Get out of your seat and on your feet at least once to twice an hour, and try an ad justable sit to stand desk at work. 44 WellnessHealthFitness Tips
We need water to keep our bodies running smoothly. How much is enough? At least one third to one half your body weight in fluid ounces per day. Here’s a hydration hack: drink one glass of water first thing every morning. It’ll ener gize you and replenish the water you perspired or exhaled while sleeping. Add a pinch of sea salt for extra electrolytes!

When you are under stress, there are times when you will forget to breathe normally. Short, shallow breaths deprive the body and brain of oxygen. As soon as you start to feel a little overwhelmed, remember to breathe as normally as possible. You will be able to think more clearly.
Breathing Deep breathing does more than just relieve stress. It oxygenates the blood and allows you to think more clearly. When you start to feel a little tired or overwhelmed, sit back and take two or three long deep breaths. Inhale and exhale slowly allowing your lungs to fill to capacity.
First!
Put a small amount of Epsom salts in the bottom of the tub when you take a bath or shower. As they mix with the water, they will begin to draw toxins from your body. Epson salts that have been mixed with lavender essential oils, will allow you to relax and de-stress after a long day.
It’s motivating when you can start lifting more weight in your gym routine. But if you’re not using prop er form during your exercises, you’re only teaching your self poor habits and increasing your risk of a sidelining injury at the same time. Be patient and take the time to learn good body mechanics.
The more we say “No”, the more negativity we cre ate for ourselves. Instead of saying “no” to the things you want to do, say “yes” and allow yourself the freedom to have a little fun or experience something new. Allow yourself to enjoy your life instead of always restricting yourself.

Proper Form
Blue light from television screens, phones, tablets, and computers can disrupt your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle and make it harder for you to fall asleep and stay asleep. Reduce your exposure in the evening by powering down digital devices at least an hour before bed, use “night mode” on your phone, and install bluelight filtering apps.
11Smile!!
Smile at a stranger! Look at pictures of your children and grandchildren and think of the joy they bring to your life and let your smile show your gratitude. Smile at everyone you meet! A smile is contagious and will pass along like wildfire if it is genuine and sincere.
9Stop Saying “No”
Poor oral health isn’t just bad for your teeth—it can increase your risk for heart disease and Alzheimer’s. This is because bacteria in your mouth can leech into the bloodstream through damaged gums and teeth and spread to other organs in your body. Flossing is an essential habit that removes plaque and tartar (aka bacteria homes). Even a few days a week is better than nothing.
HUG YOUR KIDS Hug your kids! Hug your par ents! It’s been proven that hug ging helps to ease tension and stress. It also makes the person feel loved and appreciated. Teach your kids the value of a hug and share them often!
12Invest in SupplementsQuality
Many times we rush through life, overlooking the things that are most important to us. Look at your children and your grandchildren. Be grateful for the things that make you smile. Celebrate accomplishments and throw a party just because. Take a step back and be grate ful for the things you cherish.
Multiple clinical studies show that infrared and near-infrared light stimulate increased cellular repair and metabolism through a process called “photobiomod ulation.” Reported benefits include faster wound healing, reduced joint inflammation, increased collagen production, increased sex drive, and a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
An effective warm-up doesn’t need to take more than five minutes, but it’ll make a huge difference for your workout. Warm-ups reduce the risk of injury and can even improve your performance since you won’t have to spend the first few minutes of your workout just trying to get your heart rate up! Focus on dynamic movements that get your blood pumping and arms and legs limber.

16Time Outside Spend more time outside. Soaking up the sun’s rays (in moderation, of course) provides much-needed nutrients and breathing in the fresh air clears the mind and allows you to relax. Listen to the sound of the birds and other animals as they go about their day. It’s a symphony played just for you!
It’s the little things. Take the time to smell the flow ers. Take a deep breath and smell the rain after a thunder storm. These are the little things we often take for granted. The fragrances of flowers have the same effect as essential oils used in aromatherapy. Smell the aromas and let your mind relax.
Volunteering your time, money, and unique skills isn’t just good for your community. It’s great for your mental health, too, because it fosters a sense of connectedness and generosity. Plus, it’s a great way to build deeper social con nections. Find an organization you care about and ask how you can help!

Modern day agricultural practices are tough on our food—long distance travel, soil depletion, radia tion, factory farming, and other factors deplete the amount of nutrients in the things we eat. But going 100% organic may not be feasible nor possible. Taking a few high quality supplements can make up for the unavoidable holes in your nutrition and act as an extra insurance policy to protect your health. Talk to your doctor about which supple ments are best for you—top ones include omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and Vitamin D3.
ADD LEMON Add a slice of lemon to your water or tea. Lemon contains a host of nutrients including Vitamin C. Lemons support better digestion and fend off bad breath. Adding lemons to your water also helps to support good kidney function and keep kidney stones at bay.
Unclutter yourself by clearing out the things in your home that you no longer use or need. Do the same with your thoughts.

32Allow Yourself to BE Allow yourself to simply BE. Be yourself. There is only one you and no one can re place you or offer the same gifts you can. Learn to love who and what you are. Learn to simply be your one and only true “self”.
26Walk It Out! When you start to get upset or overwhelmed, take a break and go for a short walk. It allows you to collect your thoughts and will help you to keep your emotions under control. Breathing in some fresh air will also help you to concentrate on the situ ation.
33Pay Yourself First It’s tempting to take care of your bills and living ex penses without leaving enough money left over to build your net worth. Don’t neglect yourself—you’re your greatest asset!
Try something new! Challenge yourself with a new exercise like CrossFit or Tai Chi. If you are used to doing cardio, change it up and try Pilates or Yoga. Keep your body guessing and it will take longer for you to hit a weight loss plateau. It will also give you extra energy and a sense of accomplishment once you have it mastered.
22Unclutter Yourself
25Be Mindful Always be mindful of your surround ings. Raising your awareness not only keeps you safe, it allows you to see small issues before they become bigger problems. Mindfulness ben efits both physical and mental health and allows you to be more efficient at problem-solving.
28Dance, Dance, Dance! Dancing is the best form of exercise. You can do it when you are cooking, cleaning your house, or playing with your kids. It burns calories and will get your heart pumping. Learn a few new dance moves and use them when you are running the vacuum or dusting.

Take a drive in the country. Windows down and music turned up is a great way to let your stress dissipate in the wind. Enjoy the sunset on a warm summer night or get up early and take a drive to the beach to watch the sunrise. Either way, it’s a great way to spend time with someone you love.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day hus tle and bustle. But if you’re just running through the mo tions, are you really able to appreciate the present moment?

It’s also a great way to destress—but check with your doc first, especially if you’re older, pregnant, or living with a chronic illness.
38End the Comparison Game Constantly comparing yourself to other people is a recipe for stress and suffering. Remember that everyone is on their own path in life, and the only person you need to com pare yourself to is the person you were yesterday, last week, last year. Are you better off now than you were then? Use yourself—not other people—as your measuring stick.
36Set the Bar Lower Having goals provides a great framework for a meaningful life. But if your goals are too big, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by them, which can cause you to give up ear lier. Prime yourself for success by setting the bar lower and chunking down your goals into smaller, easy-to-manage steps. Achieving them brings you the psychological wins needed to stay disciplined as you move closer to your ultimate aim.
If a small nagging injury doesn’t go away on its own after a week or two, don’t neglect it—otherwise, it could turn into a bigger (and more costly) problem in the future. Talk to a doctor, physical therapist, or other healthcare professional who can offer guidance and help you resolve the issue.

On this most recent trip to Peru, Dr. Bam boat was thrilled to see the man he had operated on the year before. While the man did not win his bid for mayor, he was doing well after his surgery. This time, the man brought along his mother and older brother to the second visit, as both had abdominal tumors. Dr. Bamboat’s team performed successful surgery on the moth er and was able to refer his brother for further treatment.

After all, “You can’t can’t just show up in Peru and expect people lined up waiting to see you,” Dr. Bamboat says. “In each country, we need to have a reliable local con sult.” This is especially important given that the group primarily performs surgeries, which typi cally require follow-up care long after UHMLA leaves. To ensure continuity of care, UHMLA makes contact with a local doctor or healthcare provider who can check in on the patient during the recovery phase.

The man was running for mayor of his town but was feeling too exhausted all the time, even after minimal exertion. As it turned out, the man had a large intestinal tumor that would require a surgery normally too complex for a mobile hos pital. After weighing their options, the surgical team decided to perform the surgery because the man could not travel to the nearest hospital in invited the local doctor to observe the surgery and provide aftercare in the form of chemotherapy. Despite it being a complex procedure, the patient did well without narcot ics, and took only acetaminophen for pain. The man’s good nature, stamina, and impressive re covery—despite not have the luxury of surgery in a hospital and narcotics for pain—made a lasting impression on the entire surgical team.

“Take care of your body.It’s the only place youhave to live.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by 2020, 25% of workers will be 55 years of age or older. Therefore, strategies including regular home and workplace stretching programs are gaining momentum and merit.
• Enhances muscle function and performance
“Fitness is not about being better than someone else; it’s about being better than you used to be.” Live.Better Research supports the short and long-term benefits of daily stretching. It alleviates strain on overworked muscles, makes moving easier, lessens stress and injury risk, and improves sleep. Stretching for flexibility is not the only benefit. Other advantages include
stretching is a proactive preventative method in our toolbox. Annu ally, musculoskeletal injuries impact corporate and healthcare industries in excess of $20 billion. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) approximates that indirect and associated costs that include hiring, training, and subsidizing substitute employees add five times to the baseline expense.
In view of this, people are turning to activities that include Yoga, Cross Fit, Trainer, Pilates, and Stretch Studios to improve their flexibility, fitness, and overall physical and mental health. What is Stretch Studio and how can it help your flexibility?

• Diminishes pain and stiffness
• Minimizes joint wear and tear
Static stretching, dynamic stretching, and proprioceptive neu romuscular facilitation (PNF) are additional forms of value in a stretching program. According to David Nolan, a physical therapist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospi tal, engaging in regular stretching keeps muscles lean, long, and flexible. This prevents the exertion of excessive force on the muscle and protects independence and mobility.

Stretch studios are the antidote to high-intensity workouts. Safe movement is an essential component for body muscle plasticity and maintenance. Stretching programs follow care ful guidelines and exercises to minimize muscle and joint dam age while improving flexibility, performance, and endurance.

s. Hakika V. DuBose, aka, Kika started her first Stretch Studio on May 2011 in Manhattan. Kika, a former professional actor and dancer with many years of experience, decided to leave her 9 to 5 job. She went the entrepreneurial way to afford her more time to be with her child. Kika’s education in dance from Montclair State, her work as a personal trainer, instruction in the Alexander technique, Laban movement analysis and advanced anatomy lay the foundation. Aware of an unmet need in the physical exercise market, she was determined to bridge the gap.
Ms. Dubose started her first Stretch studio in a room shared with a real estate agent. She had a mat, a ball, and a dream. Within four years, her clientele to over 1,000 people. In addition to the Manhattan studio, she has three power stretch outposts in New Jersey and one in Florida. Her focus teaches clients how stretch ing delivers the body freedom they crave. Kiks’s objective is to help individuals become more flexible and release the years of locked up body tension. Her wealth of experience in nutrition, body movement, and stretching, coupled with her Bachelor Degree in the Arts, repu tation, and credibility, she expanded the KIKA method to pro fessional bodybuilders. Compared to other fitness stretching programs, the KIKA Method of assisted stretching is the only method that integrates relaxation therapy and tension release. The KIKA Method® of assisted stretching was born.
How it all started
Profile of Eugene Jackson –Owner and General Manager of Stretching Studio Morristown, NJ franchise Eugene Jackson, BFA is a graduate of the Mason Gross School of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) focused in Dance Performance and Choreography from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey-New Brunswick. His knowledge of Ki nesiology and Laban Movement Analysis guided him to a career in fitness, health, and wellness. As an experienced Fitness Coach with established credentials of working in the health, wellness, and fitness industry, he is skilled in Contemporary Dance, Impro visation, Ballet and Performing Arts. His understanding of jazz, tap, modern, ballet, and African dance coupled with the help of his high school and college dance instructors maintained the ‘ideal’ flexibil ity needed as a dancer. However, according to Eugene, he failed to support his body by allowing the lessons he learned to slip by, resulting in painful injuries. This awareness motivated him to take up a career as a fitness instructor with a view to help people maintain their body shape by improving their flexibility and ultimately their fitness. Through a mutual friend, Leilah, he met with Hakika, the founder of Stretch Studio. The available Morristown Stretch Studio ownership opportunity, matched Eugene’s vision. Shortly thereafter, he became a Franchise Business Owner of Kika Stretch Studios Morristown and Certified Fitness Professional.

What Can StretchLab Do for You?
After retiring, he was looking for a new challenge. After ample research and due diligence, he came across StretchLab. It made sense as a business model, and he also believed in the power and value of stretching. Xponential Fitness owns StretchLab, and Weaving did his diligent research into both companies before he decided to take the plunge. His daughter pointed out to him that he’s always telling her “Don’t be like me, keep stretching”, so he signed the paperwork and opened the first franchise in the world.

The First StretchLab Franchise in the World Dave Weaving, Stretch Lab Franchise owner opened the first Stretch Lab franchise in the world in Livingston, NJ. There were already three company-owned studios in California, but Weav ing opened the first franchise. Besides Livingston, StretchLab is scheduled to open in Morristown this summer; and Weaving ex pects to open more in the area. He’s really enjoying it, and so are the people in his franchise area.
Stretch Lab offers clients the opportunity to stretch the way it should be done. StretchLab takes traditional stretching a step fur ther by applying resistance to receive a deeper stretch, as well as utilizing the PNF technique (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation), which effectively increases range of motion by sys tematically contracting and releasing targeted muscle groups.
All of StretchLab’s Flexologists have prior relevant certifications before entering the Flexology Training Program. With diverse backgrounds such as Massage Therapy, Personal Training, Physi cal Therapy, advanced Yoga experience or degrees in Exercise Sci ence, Weaving’s staff can safely cater to a multitude of imbalances. Prior to opening his StretchLab franchise, Weaving worked at a franchise company called Realogy that showed him there was a market for benefits and wellness, as he suddenly had the opportu nity for developing a wellness initiative. He started this initiative for 11,000 people at his company which resulted in greater health outcomes for his employees.

Thanks to the re cent National Basketball Players’ Association Foundation grant, the gym boasts a fresh new paint job, new equipment, and a spir it of infectious enthusiasm. A refurbished gym floor and new air conditioning are also underway. The program builds confidence, teaches teamwork, and offers much-needed mentorship.

At the Nabe and other Cornerstone locations, “we proudly serve children, teens, adults, families, veterans, seniors, and their caregivers, ages two to 102.” This once thriv ing center is making a strong comeback thanks to some stra tegic partnerships and support of local businesses and other non-profit organizations.

Irecently attended a Yoga class in Morristown taught by instructor Munah Hayes featuring “Munahology,” her own method of combining traditional Yoga with an ample dose of her unique spirituality, intuitive conversation, and beautiful music. Arriving early to get a spot, I chatted with the others in the class and noted the infectious enthusiasm and love they felt for her. The moment she strode through the door, I understood what the fuss was about. Clad in her fur vest, large sunglasses and bold jewelry she breezed into the room like a movie star taking her place on the set. I jumped up to introduce myself, and she engulfed me with her warm and authentic embrace. What ensued was one of the most unique experiences I have had to date.
Munah describes herself as a “curvaceous woman of color,” and she provides a “judgment-free space where people can come and unravel the deepest chambers of their hearts.” She presents the poses in layman’s terms, although it is apparent she understands the meaning and structure of each one, with over 250 hours in Yoga training from Ramapo College under her belt.

“Munah describes herself as a ‘curvaceous woman of color.’”
She collaborates with The Morristown and Morris Township Library, Zufall Wellness Center, Morristown Neighborhood House, and the Interfaith Food Pantry in Morristown as well as the Rose House, in Cedar Knolls, Brahma House in Bridgewater and WARM in Harlem, NY.
Focusing on discovering what one needs from the inside out, some of the services she provides include guided meditation sessions, public and private Yoga, Munahology Movement, Zumba, Fierce4, Health Coaching Consultations, and Sound Vi bration Healing Sessions.

Combining a workout suitable for every level with modified poses, she speaks words of encouragement and edification pay ing close attention to proper alignment. She is so in tune with her class it transcends the physical exercise. For those who are open to it, the experience can be transformative as she feeds the soul while working the body. As we entered into final relaxation, I allowed the music to wash over me. I heard the most melodic voice humming and had to open my eyes. There was Munah, one with her music gracing us with her deep and soulful voice. I allowed myself to relax once again and soaked in what felt like praise and thanksgiving wafting from her heart. Instead of ending class with the tradi tional Ohm, we sang as a group, led by Munah. There was no awkwardness, just a group of peaceful, happy people singing about choosing joy. I hung around after class for a few minutes when a group from the Daily Plan-It came in. Munah beamed proudly introducing me to each person. Struggling with disabilities, this is the place they come to practice movement, be encouraged, and keep Munah grounded as she volunteers her time to serve each man and woman who participates. Some could walk, others were in wheelchairs, yet all of them arrived excited to be in a class led by someone so deeply invested in them. Munah also volunteers her time as a translator for Hayes Language Institute, owned and operated by her mother, Willa Hayes, and International Rivers of the Holy Spirit Ministries.
Munah struggled with many challenges in her own life, and she is driven to help “free others from the internal hells that are cre ated by poor spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health.”
She views herself as a servant of the community, cradling her students in love and getting back as much as she gives.
t the beginning of last year, I took a week off from work. Sounds wonderful, right? Actually, I had the flu, and it was terrible. We have all been there, run down, taking care of every responsibility no mat ter what. When we think of pampering ourselves, most women dismiss it as something unaffordable, self-centered, or unrealis tic given financial or time constraints. Yet, we think nothing of taking a proactive approach when it comes to family and work. Having the flu gave me time to think about why I didn’t stop until I absolutely had to, and prompted me to make necessary changes in my lifestyle. I invite you to consider my top three tips for creating time and embracing the concept of self-care: Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home. Make one area of your home EXACTLY the way you want it. It could be as simple as a corner of a room that becomes a “clutter-free zone.” I have limited space, yet I was able to purchase a com fy hot pink chair, and a fuzzy blanket at Home Goods for less than I would spend to get my hair done. I call it my “Gratitude Chair,” and when I sit in it, I immediately think of five things I grateful for. It is now an association I have with it, so when I am feeling out of sorts, even five minutes sitting in MY chair brings me back to center. Self-care is not selfish. If we are quick to catch colds, get over tired, or lose sleep, these can be physical manifestations of stress, anxiety, and self-neglect. I knew weekly massages were not in my budget, but I could commit to a weekly bath, sur rounded by candles with scented Epsom salts and relaxing spa music playing on my phone. At first, it was hard to carve out the time, but now everyone knows my “tub time” is MY time. I also started listening to audiobooks or podcasts while driving, folding laundry and cooking, turning mundane things into an educational experience, which I love. Making time to stretch in the morning, walk at lunchtime, work out with a friend, write in a journal, learn to meditate or pray are small actionable steps you can take. Find one or two things that appeal to YOU, then commit them to the schedule. If you don’t make time for your self, no one else will. Budget for balance. I don’t believe in a “work/life balance” since for most of us work takes up the majority of our waking hours. However, there needs to be some margin. We can make room in our budget for things to help counter-act the everyday grind. I found some monthly expenses worth eliminating so that I could embrace something much more meaningful to me, my time. I gave up paying for lunch, grabbing take out and getting my hair and nails done so that I could hire a cleaning service ev ery two weeks. I also had groceries delivered that I ordered on line, and yes, loosened my standards on what I thought a “ripe avocado” should be. As a single working mother, the infusion of time was priceless. Everyone’s individual needs will be dif ferent. There are services designed for just about everything to make your time more efficient and your day a bit easier. Invest the dollars wisely by investing in yourself. Gratitude is possible. I was absolutely miserable with the flu, and the more I focused on it, the worse it became. Then, I re membered gratitude. I thought about my hot shower, clean sheets, fresh clothes, a warm bed, medicine, and health insur ance. I was safe, and a phone call away from help if I needed it. Call it hype, call it new-age, call it whatever you want to call it, but it helped a lot. I realized that if I can force myself to be grateful feeling like that, then like any other habit, I need to force myself to do it in all sorts of scenarios. It’s far too easy to take the smallest things for granted, and being grateful amidst the chaos of life makes it all that much more tolerable. Being proactive and making time for our daily self-care keeps us physically and emotionally fit. Investing small amounts of time, infused with things that bring us peace and pleasure can detoxify the soul, energize the spirit, and rejuvenate the body.

Myth #3: Sun Exposure is the Only Thing That Matters Age, genetics, and family history are all part of the skin cancer equation. Yes, sun exposure can be bad if there’s too much of it without adequate protection. But even non-exposed areas can develop skin cancer.
Myth #1: More Moles Means More Skin Cancer Risk
Remember playing outside as a kid, and mom slather ing sunscreen on you? If you remember that, you’re in good company. You might also be safer and healthier as you get older, at least from the standpoint of skin cancer. If your mom didn’t do that, or if you got sunburned a lot, maybe paying a visit to your dermatologist would be a good idea. That mole check could save your life. In the meantime, you also need to know what’s true and false about skin cancer. There are a lot of myths out there, and when people believe them they put themselves at risk. Here are four myths you don’t want to get caught up in. Knowledge really is power, and it can also be good health.
While people who have more moles can certainly be at risk, their risk levels are due to the fact that moles can change and develop into cancer. That’s the only reason more moles could potentially equal more cancer risk.
Myth #4: Getting a “Base Tan” Will Protect the Skin People with a base tan may not get a sunburn as easily, but they’re still getting ultraviolet radiation. They’re getting tan because their body is trying to protect their skin by making more pigment. That’s not healthy, and it’s not safe. Take a page out of mom’s book, and put on that sunscreen every time you go out. Wear clothes that cover your skin, and a hat to shade your face. Wear sunglasses. And don’t rely on the cloudy day you’re enjoying or that base tan you got last weekend to pro tect you from the potential for skin cancer.

Myth #2: Sunburn Can’t Happen When It’s Cloudy Actually, 80 percent of the sun’s rays still get through when it’s overcast. It’s not hard to get a sunburn when it’s cloudy, and that sunburn can raise skin cancer risk significantly.
