Hello Summer!

JULY 2017 PUBLISHER

hat does summer mean to you?

Dan Austin | Dan.Austin@LifestylePubs.com

July is the heart of summer - mindset, calendar, events, vacation...it's what summer is all about. I remember summer as a kid - barbeques, chasing the sunset, endless days...warm afternoons fading to evening.

In my family, summer was a celebration of our neighborhood, a chance to kick back, food for many and endless conversation.

here are no easy roads to Black's Beach, which makes it not only a peaceful destination but one that is worth the

trip for solitude and serenity. Why Black's Beach? We chose it for its mystique and place in local and national beach culture. Although it's not too far from the hustle and bustle of La Jolla, it is a world away. We explored the crevices, nooks, and vignettes of this hidden oasis, bringing with us beach and summer essentials, including some gorgeous on-trend swimwear

Hiking to the tiki hut is not for the faint-of-heart but is worth the view from the top and the unmistakable, albeit rustic, throwback to beach culture of the 50s and 60s creates the perfect backdrop for a lingering afternoon in the sun.

Eyes On Cancer is a Beauty/Grooming industry initiative which trains hair stylists and barbers to inform clients when early signs of skin cancer are observed. Melanoma, a dangerous type of skin cancer that can spread to other parts of the body, can be treated effectively when caught early, saving lives.

“The odds are probably in your favor that we can find something to work,” says Jake, who believes there’s always an option. If a patient doesn’t respond to the infusions, he’ll direct them to other psychiatric treatments, which may include behavioral therapies.

KFL is the only ketamine clinic in San Diego offering it as an IV infusion – the next is in Orange County. And most West Coast ketamine clinics charge twice as much as Jake. He maintains his prices with his low overhead costs. Ketamine is a generic drug and not yet FDA-approved so insurance companies don’t cover the treatment. Since Jake is on the insurance panels though, he can bill insurance companies for the initial consultation, which costs $300-$500 at other clinics.

As for the treatment process, after filling out paperwork, a consultation and psychiatric evaluation follows. If your screening is approved, you can start your first infusion. Jake tries to complete the treatments in a short amount of time, typically six infusions within one to three weeks. Afterward, patients are usually set up with single monthly main-
