We also focus on diet, exercise and the emotional well-being of a woman. And, of course, our newest life-changing addition, ThermiVa! Its been called a “game changer” in women’s medicine.

Q: WHAT EXACTLY IS THERMIVA ?

It’s a revolutionary non-invasive, non-hormonal procedure for vaginal rejuvenation. It’s a simple, painless and effective in-office procedure. Women see tremendous results with relief from vaginal dryness, vaginal laxity, urinary incontinence and improved cosmetic appearance.

Q: HOW DO YOU DIFFER FROM OTHER OB/GYN’S? Currently, I am the only OB/GYN in Lake Norman offering ThermiVa. There are other types of rejuvenation procedures; however, my expertise enables me to assess patients’ specific needs for the best result.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY? At Leone Medical Group, we take a holistic approach to women’s health by treating mind, body and spirit. Having had 3 C-sections and various women’s health issues, I have a special connection to my patients. We seek to empower women to take control of their health and self image.

Women can be fabulous at any age!

- DR. LAURI GIVENS OB/GYN

Women can be fabulous at any age! We don’t want child birth, cancer or age to rob us of our ability to maintain intimacy at any age. Intimacy is an integral part of wellness. Men have Viagra™ and now we have ThermiVa™!

As the fastest growing apparel segment in the United States–Women’s Wear Daily, there are no shortages of athleisure options to help support your New Year’s resolution to get, or stay fit. The best part of athleisure is the ability to mix and layer with your everyday clothes creating a style statement uniquely yours.

It’s a further bonus when you can wear athleisure clothes that help women and girls embrace positive messages about themselves and others. Enter Charlotte-based Ivy Citizens, an athleisure line created to showcase woman and girls as they are (think fierce, strong, powerful) and not as society presents them to be. health

Focused on fitness, and

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST SHERRY POLLEX'S FIGHT AGAINST CANCER ARTICLE MICHELLE KEATON BARROW

O

varian cancer accounts for roughly 3% of cancers of women but causes more deaths than any other can-

cer of the female reproductive system. The disease is difficult to detect resulting in most women being diagnosed at an advanced stage. It has a profound reoccurrence rate of 85%.

In 2014, after visiting several doctors and undergoing numerous tests, Sherry Pollex was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer. Five days later she underwent a surgery that lasted over 6 hours. Most would have given up and had a pessimistic attitude……. Not Sherry.

Day one after surgery as her mom and partner, Martin Truex cried at her bedside, she asked: “What do I have to do to fight this?” She knew that her survival would depend not only on the chemo treatments but her will to live. She chose to say that she received the “gift of cancer” instead of letting it consume her life.

She endured her months of chemo sessions with a positive, bullish attitude. She refused to give cancer any of her power.

Although exhausted and barely able to eat, Sherry pushed herself forward each day with the goal of healing herself. She was literally her own motivation, healing herself from within.

“Your perspective on life changes after you look death in the face. The sky is bluer, the sun shines brighter and the simple things in life such as the flight of a butterfly become amazing!”

When asked why give back? Sherry responded that both she and Martin grew up in supportive households causing them to want to help in making the world become a better place. By being inspirational and good examples, they realize that they are causing a ripple effect. Their philanthropic ventures cause others to do the same.

“Feel strong. Feel beautiful. Feel Healthy. Surviving ovarian cancer with grace”

Sherry and Martin established the Martin Truex Foundation in 2007 to aid pediatric cancer patients. In 2015 the foundation was rebranded to support underfunded initiatives specific to ovarian and childhood cancers.

Creative fundraisers are conduits to raise funds.

Catwalk for a Cause in the spring uses NASCAR drivers, NASCAR driver spouses and children that have been challenged with a cancer diagnosis as models in a runway show. A Southern Setting -Farm to Table in the fall features a festive outdoor venue with a private chef.

In 2016 Sherry launched SherryStrong.org, a website dedicated to empowering women to know their bodies and recognize the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Powerful information is provided on the site that encourages holistic, integrative practices after a diagnosis and treatment.

“Feel strong. Feel beautiful. Feel Healthy.

Surviving ovarian cancer with grace” is prominently displayed on the homepage along with a photo of Sherry, the epitome of grace under pressure.
