HEALTHY LIFESTYLE (CONTINUED) Dr. Heather Lopez

“I’m about normalizing the empowerment of one’s own body, and I’m here to help. I realize many young women are afraid of gynecologists. I want to make it less scary, regardless of whether a person’s life goal is to get pregnant or to prevent pregnancy. We recommend starting to formulate OBGYN relationships and preventive care during adolescence, but it’s a bit different for everyone,” says Dr. Chitwood.

She says women often have health questions. “My job is to educate patients about what’s normal and to provide options. I don’t want anyone to ever feel stressed or forced into certain decisions,” she adds.

Dr. Chitwood says sometimes women worry too long at home about health issues or problems ​that may not be actually happening, which is why screening and tests are so important. She encourages everyone to speak to their physicians about the most current recommendations about screening tests. For example, OBGYN facilities used to do Pap tests on teenagers, however the guidelines have been updated to begin at 21 years of age.

The best place to start in catching up on women’s personal health is well-women exams, reminds Dr. Lopez.

“Even if there’s not a need for internal pelvic exams, well woman exams are times to obtain preventative screenings, which provides us with early detection for things such as abnormal Pap smears or breast cancer which can be seen on mammograms.”

Dr. Lopez says OBGYNs assist with primary care issues, such as colonoscopies, blood pressure, exercise, healthy lifestyle choices and osteopenia. She believes changes are coming for future Pap and HPV tests recommendations. “Through research, we’ve learned most cervical cancer is caused by high-risk strains of HPV, soon officials may suggest just HPV tests every three to five years without cytology, unless there are other indicators,” she adds.

“We find some post-menopausal women put off seeking medical assistance for sporadic bleeding, thinking it’s normal, when in fact, it’s often the first sign of endometrial cancer,” says Dr. Lopez.

She says she likes to take first appointments slowly and to initially have a discussion to get to know one another. “As an advocate of West St. Louis County women, I don’t want anyone to be fearful about coming to the OBGYN.” 20

Summer is my favorite time of year.....

Our lives are f illed with Summer camps, trips to the beach, Cardinals games and time with our families. It’s the time of year when we visit together in the off ice. I hear about the fun you are having, see how much you have grown, and we work on whatever worries may have sprung up this year.

If you are a current patient, please remember to call and schedule annual physicals for your children.

If you are looking for a pediatrician, I would love to meet with you.

Call my off ice anytime and ask to schedule a meet and greet with me, or feel f ree to contact me directly through Facebook Messenger.

I can’t wait to hear about your Summer adventures!

MORE THAN THE KOCH FAMILY, AND THEY’VE HAD FOUR GENERATIONS TO PERFECT IT. As the owners of Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana, they have come through a difficult year and are back at full blast.

“This season we’re celebrating 75 Years of Family Fun, and honestly, it’s more special than ever because of the tremendous challenges of last year,” says Leah Koch. “The most difficult and frustrating parts of our safety procedures are now no longer necessary, and we’re excited to deliver the best possible Holiday World experience once again.”

Holiday World opened in 1946 as Santa Claus Land. It’s just 3 hours east of St. Louis. From its top-ranking wooden and steel roller coasters to

the world’s longest water coasters, the attraction has been

recognized as the “cleanest park in the world” for the last two decades.

Splashin’ Safari introduced its newest water coaster, “Cheetah Chase,” in 2020, as the world’s first dueling launched water coaster. And TIME magazine named Holiday World’s “The Voyage” the nation’s No. 1 wooden roller coaster.

One other popular and unique feature is that both parks provide free soft drinks all day, free parking, free inner-tube usage, and free sunscreen.

“I’m proud to say that my siblings and I are in the fourth-generation of a family-owned business that has stood the test of time, and we will continue to devote ourselves to bringing the joy of holiday celebrations to our guests for years to come,” adds Leah.

TIPS FOR STAYING PRODUCTIVE AND POSITIVE WHILE MAINTAINING WORK-LIFE BALANCE

2// Check the weather and plan accordingly. If I know a beautiful day is coming, I plan around it. Working seems easier to me when free time is coming.

3// Give yourself a flexible schedule. If your work allows it, follow my lead for a mash-up schedule. I trade quiet mornings at the pool for nighttime work so I can maximize my time in the sun. Starting my days slower with a book and a relaxing morning gives me energy to work in the darker hours. Plus, a different schedule makes work feel new to me.

4// Change up your scenery. Opt for conference calls with Bluetooth ear buds and multi-task with a walk, or suggest to co-workers to move a meeting outdoors. Working in the same setting each day can weigh heavy. Try making a homemade breakfast and working outdoors or relocating to a brighter room.

5// Set the mood. Take a look around. Are there new colors you can incorporate to make your workspace welcoming? A new piece of artwork you can hang that you love? If you’re excited to enter the space, you’ll feel good about knocking out work sessions. Try adding fragrance, such as candles, to give it a new ambiance, or add life to the space with house plants or a fish tank.

6// Use your vacation time. Reward yourself for saving your days and cash them in. If you aren’t traveling, a staycation can be just as rewarding. Taking a day off here and there can feel energizing, but taking many days consecutively can truly restore your mind and body.
