What’s Your Story?

OCTOBER 2017

A

bout 42,000 people make their home in Brentwood, Tennessee and every one of them has a story. When we launched Brentwood Lifestyle in February 2016, one of my goals was to tell as many of those stories as possible. If we told two such personal stories a month, we could tell them all in about 1,750 years.

CONTRIBUTING WRITERS

We’ve tried to present stories about a variety of people, events, organizations and businesses that make our corner of Middle Tennessee such an exceptional place to live. Some you probably know, like Lynda Stone of Melissa Schleicher. Others may be new to you, like Cory Basil or Avery Billington. But they’re all unique and compelling.

Lindsey Howard, Christy Shaterian

This month we’re presenting back-to-back (pun intended) features on Erin Myers of Spiral Spine Pilates and Dr. Liz Baker of Maryland Farms Chiropractic.

A former Radio City Rockette, Erin’s personal experience with scoliosis inspired her to develop Pilates programs that are designed specifically for people who are affected by the condition.

Dr. Liz is a former high school cheerleader whose experience with chronic pain led her to seek chiropractic treatment as a teenager, and to chiropractic study in college.

As with life itself, the stories we bring you each month can be filled with love, humor, faith, fun and some heartache as well. But we strive to bring you stories that will make you look forward to each and every issue.

Unlike other senior communities, Somerby does not require a “buy-in,” or substantial entry fee, prior to move in. This is just one aspect of retirement living that sets Somerby apart, and it is a central theme in our approach to living. The no buy-in approach allows Residents to better control their assets, so they have complete control over their retirement. Rather than paying entry fees, Residents can keep their hard-earned nest egg and use it however they choose.

At Somerby, Resident choices matter.

ready to leave,” Russ said. Later, Brentwood joined efforts with local partners like the Franklin Fire Department, Knoxville Fire Department, and Williamson County Sherriff’s Office to form Strike Team 15. This specialized group checked several homes and structures for damage. The teams documented residents who chose to stay and remain sheltered in place, and evacuated individuals by boat from flooded subdivisions and apartment complexes.

For the balance of the deployment, the Tennessee Task Force broke into two teams and conducted welfare checks and performed evacuations of residents on Houston’s west side. Rescue boats and crews from Tennessee were in water for the majority of this task.

At press time, the unit was standing by for possible deployment to Southeastern communities in the path of Hurricane Irma.

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS UNDERWAY Several major road improvement projects were initiated within the city of Brentwood last month.

The largest project is the widening of Franklin Road between Concord Road and south of Moores Lane. TDOT will be widening the roadway from its current two and three-lane configuration to a five-lane configuration with a pair of north and south bound through lanes and a center turn lane. The project will also include a multi-use path on the east side. The project is expected to take three to four years to complete.

These days, Erin teaches group classes and private lessons at her Brentwood studio, and she seeks to educate those affected by scoliosis through her books, videos, classes, and regularly scheduled scoliosis workshops. “A lot of people need to learn more about scoliosis and just be encouraged,” she said. “Scoliosis has become this thing of darkness, but it doesn’t have to be. It can be beautiful, and it doesn’t have to define you. I’m here because I want to shine a light into the darkness.”

PATH TO SUCCESS (CON TI N U ED)

true Nashville native, “Dr. Liz” attended Hillsboro High School, where she was a cheerleader. As an active teenager, she began to experience hip pain. After trying conventional medical options and finding that they brought on more side effects than she was willing to endure, Dr. Liz visited a local chiropractor. She found relief through chiropractic treatment, and then went on with life. For a few years, at least!

Dr. Liz pursued a degree in Animal Science and Biology at the University of Tennessee with the intention of becoming a veterinarian. During her senior year of college, she worked as a veterinary technician, and realized that perhaps she wasn’t cut out for the emotional experience of watching animals suffer, or even pass away.

“I didn’t want to ‘get over it,’ like others I worked with told me to,” she says, “and I realized maybe that wasn’t the career path I should take.”

With applications already submitted to veterinary schools, Dr. Liz made the decision to pivot to a new medical discipline. She hadn’t planned to pursue chiropractic work, but her positive personal experiences, and encouragement from a friend in the chiropractic field, provided the VISIT DR. LIZ BAKER AT

and she now uses it as a vessel to bring alternative health and wellness solutions to the Brentwood community.

As the only doctor in her practice, Dr. Liz has seen it all. “The youngest patient I’ve ever seen was a baby that was about 16 hours old,” she says, “and right now my oldest patient is 90 years old.” She wants people to know that chiropractic is a safe—and effective—treatment option for those seeking relief from many ailments. “Most people think of chiropractic as focusing on neck and back issues, and of course I treat those,” she says. “What they don’t expect is the side benefits that come from addressing these issues.”

She says that chiropractic treatment can lead to relief from migraines, tingling or numbness, and can even improve digestive health.

While she continues to serve patients through the traditional route of in-person appointments in her practice, Dr. Liz is also using new avenues to reach out to Middle Tennessee residents. She hosts a weekly radio show on 1510 WLAC-AM called “A Guide to Healthy Living,” where she and her co-host explore questions and health issues that listeners ask on social media.

Overall, Dr. Liz wants to help patients uncover the root of their health issues and struggles so that she can help them improve their living experiences. “Medication can provide a temporary fix, but it’s not without ramifications,” she says.

“My goal is to get people healthy—in the long term— through lifestyle and physical changes so they can truly live their best life.”

2. OPT FOR 4K ULTRA HD—4K Ultra HD TVs have more than 8 million

3. CONSIDER REFRESH RATES—The higher the processing rate,

the more times per second the TV can refresh the images on the screen, increasing blur-free motion in fast-moving games. Look for a TV with at least a 120 hertz refresh rate.
