FROM THE EDITOR

As the rigors of season begin to ebb like the afternoon tide at Lowdermilk Park (the perfect precursor to a sunset sip at a laid-back bar), there’s time to ponder the less hectic joys that define the Paradise Coast and boost our quality of life.

Think a meandering kayak trip to explore swamp-grass patches or a gala-free night that replaces paddle-raising with stargazing.

In this wellness-themed issue, we join Naples nature photographer Dennis Goodman to revel in the resplendent beauty of the outdoors. Turn to page 76 to learn why the self-taught lensman swapped a property management career for a camera in the woods and to see some of his signature images. Studies such as one published last year in the journal Scientific Reports show that spending just two hours a week rambling around a rookery (or elsewhere in the wild) substantially raises levels of life satisfaction.

Another tenet of top-notch health is time balanced between friends, family, community, and purpose, and Naples philanthropist Brenda Melton does just that. The Celebrity Martini Glass Auction founder, whose story starts on page 70, has created a stellar wellness cocktail that blends loyalty, laughter, and long walks with frequent shots of wheatgrass and daily gratitude. Melton revamped a frenetic routine of fast food and office overload decades ago after a blood test revealed high cholesterol and other red flags.

With medical diagnostics in mind, we talk to Dr. William Kapp, who recently opened Longevity Solutions in North Naples, the first center of its kind in the country. The high-tech firm compiles an astounding avalanche of data via “deep-dive assessments,” then designs customized wellness plans for clients.

Meanwhile, Naples-based HealthLynked, another technology innovator, seeks to streamline doctor-patient communication through web platforms and cutting-edge cloud magic. Founder Dr. Michael Dent shares more in a piece about both businesses that begins on page 82.

Spring abounds with options galore for fun, fitness, and carefree days on the Gulf Coast, and we wish you health and happiness as you pursue all that Southwest Florida has to offer.

A sage insight that “beauty is a light in the heart” is an ideal that Naples native Monique Evans exemplifies as the recently crowned Miss Florida USA. Evans, 28, has been attending a swirl of events while promoting her pageant platform: Be kind to your mind.

The 2010 Naples High School graduate says she is volunteering with a NAMI mental health program designed for at-risk Collier County children and also plans to partner with the Southwest Florida Blue Zones Project. “Being able to give back to the community is really important to me,” says the pharmaceutical sales representative, who has a degree in nutritional science. “I really believe in the mind-body connection: nutrition, exercise, mindfulness.”

A self-described introverted science nerd, Evans made concerted efforts to break out of her shyness. She joined Toastmasters (a public speaking and leadership skills club) and entered her first pageant when she was a freshman at The University of Texas at Austin. In 2014, she earned the title Miss Texas in the Miss America pageant system but returned to the runway determined “to represent the state I call my home.”

Evans has studied ballet since age 9 and still dances at Naples Dance Conservatory. In addition to the work ethic she garnered from donning toe shoes, she also credits dance with helping her to expand physical boundaries and relieve stress.

“Having the music playing and going through the routine brings me joy and a lot of solace,” says Evans, who’ll be competing for Miss USA in May. “You try to be as prepared as possible and when you’re there, you just have fun and enjoy the entire experience.” —Cathy Chestnut

Gated communities and private clubs are focused on multigenerational WELLNESS conveniences Grey Oaks

The Vineyards Country Club Wellness Center

Moorings Park MICHAEL CARONCHI

If Ponce de Leon stumbled upon Collier County looking for the Fountain of Youth today, he’d be amazed by the bounty of private clubs dedicated to longevity and happiness.

Health, wellness, fitness, and spa amenities are driving clubhouse upgrades and expansions. Current hot offerings include personal trainers and state-of-the-art gyms; generous shared-use pathways for walking and cycling; bocce and pickleball courts; resort-style pools; social clubs that foster new friendships; and farm-to-table, alternativediet-pleasing menus.

Peacock + Lewis Architects and Planners, which operates offices in North Palm Beach and Naples, has specialized exclusively in clubs since 1961. The firm has projects under construction at Quail Creek, The Club at Mediterra, Stone Bridge, and Shadow Wood, with Audubon, Bay Colony, and The Vineyards on the design boards.

Brian Idle, president of Peacock + Lewis, says that members are looking for short-duration, high-return activities, such as training for a specific sport or unwinding in the spa. Nationally, the most valued amenities are dining, fitness, golf, and racquet sports. Aquatics, walking, and bocce are also in high demand. Bocce is popular because it’s a low-impact sport that you can play with a cold beverage in hand and, most importantly, it’s highly social. “Getting a good dose of laughter helps the soul, too,” Idle says.

Gated communities and private clubs are embracing Blue Zones principles that emphasize movement, social networks, healthy eating, and voluntarism to stave off preventable disease.

Accordingly, they’re investing in amenities and opportunities for members of

Cocoon on Fifth Avenue South carries natureinspired decor by Mitchell Siegel, who crafts the one-of-a-kind pieces in his Connecticut workshop.

FETCHING FURNISHINGS AFTER

TAKE FLIGHT Carrying brands from Kahala—a broadcloth cotton printed in Hawaii that’s been around since the 1950s—to cutting-edge Miami designers and more, Butterfly Beach Clothing has taken flight on Fifth Avenue South. The family-owned retail group, which has a second Collier County store on Marco Island, gutted its 2,000-squarefoot location to create a tropical vibe for its tasty wave selections (think Billabong, Surf, and Hook & Tackle) and other contemporary apparel and swimwear.

“A butterfly represents every phase of life—change, transition, adaptation, and growth,” says 36

BEFORE owner/manager Jodi Ellis, who hails from Annapolis, Maryland.

“Butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life, and everyone deserves a little sunshine.”

At the boutique, new wood floors and a metal ceiling create an industrial look, while handmade pine fixtures, pine tables, and barn doors outfit the dressing rooms. “Our store definitely isn’t traditional,” Ellis adds. “It’s designed to be a fun experience for the entire family.” (butterflybeachclothing.com) —Loretta Grantham

Mitchell Siegel recognized Naples as a fitting location for his second Cocoon showroom, but he wasn’t expecting to practically sell out at the 2,500-squarefoot Fifth Avenue South shop within the first three weeks. To refill the space, he immediately shipped two containers of his organic, nature-inspired furnishings made of exotic woods and crafted at his workshop in Greenwich, Connecticut.

“I don’t know what we’re doing, except that I’ve been doing it for 25 years,” he says, noting that his statement pieces are popular with designers. “What we do is scientific. With our look, the more you have, the less effective it is.

Just one or a few of our pieces stand out and enhance everything else.”

Cocoon’s tables, sculptures, desks, and shelves are made of tamarind, acacia, and other select woods from Southeast Asia that Siegel has

selected on global travels. The artwork is also unique, conceptualized and developed by Siegel. Wall and table accents are constructed from elements such as volcanic glass, Burmese teak, sandstone, petrified coconut shells, lotus flowers, and nautilus and Philippine capiz shells.

One-of-a-kind pieces include celadon pottery and amethyst geodes. Siegel’s custom furnishings are finished with proprietary techniques and washes, which he refers to as Cocoon’s “Coca-Cola recipe. It’s a process that no one will know—what we do or how we do it. It cannot be reproduced.” (cocoonnaturescreations.com) —Cathy Chestnut

French KISS

By Katherine Lande If any fashion house is the authority on color, it’s Hermès. The French label has amassed more than 75,000 silk color references in its archives in Lyon and adds hundreds to its library each season.

It comes as no surprise then that artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas decided to launch Hermès Beauty with Rouge Hermès, a collection of lipsticks in 24 shades, including—yes—the inimitable Orange Boîte. Infused with white mulberry extract and lightly scented with notes of sandalwood, arnica, and angelica, the lipsticks ($68 each; refills $42) apply velvety smooth with a weightless feel in either satin or matte finishes. Now the Hermès Birkin bag, lacquered cuff, or printed silk scarf has its own accessory: a matching lip steeped in the wearer’s personality.

Coastal CHIC

D

espite being 20 years old and in need of a facelift, this Pelican Bay condominium had a lot going for it. Most notably, it was blessed with phenomenal views of the Gulf of Mexico—a vista that enticed first-time Florida homebuyers to take the plunge.

Because it was their first residence in the state, they wanted to imbue their new two-bedroom dwelling with a distinctly Southwest Florida ambience, complete with decor that recalls the area’s ecological beauty and an open floor plan that invites the oceanfront scenery in. They enlisted Kara Hardt, a senior designer at Naples-based Interiors by Agostino’s, to bring the concept to life.

“It was a full-gut remodel,” she says. “We opened the ceilings to 9 feet to create an open-concept feel and tried to make what felt small to feel as big as [possible]. Now it is the clients’ coastal retreat.”

An air of luxury permeates the entry, where a private elevator opens up to the traditional foyer. With a nod to the old-world aesthetic in the building’s common rooms, Hardt applied a faux finish to the walls and ceiling, a feature reflected in antique mirror panels that are broken up with wood detailing. Contemporary light fixtures and furnishings, including a vanity and stools with Lucite legs, add a breath of fresh air.

The dotted fabric used for the sofa pillows in the living room inspired the home’s contemporary coastal color palette of whites, grays, beiges, and vibrant splashes of aqua. A faux-silk rug beautifully defines

the chic space, while the acrylic and glass coffee table augments the open feel. Transparent ceiling fan blades echo this idea.

“Everything in the room was hand-selected,” she says. “The sheer, ombre side panels are so perfect [to the point] where the aqua tone and ombre meet, it literally lines up with the ocean line.”

Across from the living room is the intimate family room. Because the two spaces are so close to one another, Hardt decided to go in a

different direction for the family room, opting to channel the idea of a cocktail lounge. Swivel chairs covered in faux elephant skin and placed atop a one-of-a-kind wool and silk rug lend themselves to easy conversations over evening libations. A textured statement wall with Tetris-esque shelving sits opposite a streamlined display of reverse-painted panels by Eric Crabtree.

The elegant, uncluttered look of the sleek kitchen begins with the custom Italian cabinetry. For casual dining, an eating area was incorporated into the quartzite waterfall island. Mosaic glass tile with a geometric pattern forms an eye-catching backdrop to intriguing bowls and vases.

After opening the dining room ceiling, Hardt added drywall beams and covered the recesses between them with a gray and white wallpaper topped with a thin layer of capiz shells.

Dining chairs outfitted in stain-resistant Crypton and accented with the inspiration fabric are an ideal combination of practical and posh. The ultra-modern bar is enclosed with sculpted wood panels finished in a silver-champagne hue.

Natural elements in the charming powder room reference motifs used throughout the home. Most unique is the marble waterfall detail over the floating walnut cabinet; the central component supports a hand-carved bronze sink, while a wallmounted faucet creates a waterfall all its own.

Hardt initiated the serene master retreat by pairing soft aquas against warmer woods. Patterned wallpaper on the headboard wall highlights the partially custom and partially ready-made woven-linen headboard. The abstract rug complements the soothing artwork by Crabtree.

“When designing a master bedroom, I take inspiration from what overall feeling the clients want and make it comfortable to their taste,” she explains. “The size of the room also comes into play.”

Stunning views coupled with rich, organic materials come together in harmony in the fabulous master bath. The ceilings had

to be raised, and walls were eliminated to make the room feel as large as possible. To do justice to the exquisite stone, Hardt placed 6-inch-thick marble countertops over the custom Italian cabinetry. The soaking tub rests under a large window and is made of volcanic ash. “Bathrooms are a place where you can create a wow factor with combinations of textures, patterns, and elements,” she says.

For their guests, the clients wanted the en suite guest room to be very cozy and out of the ordinary. A faux finish graces the walls and gives way to a large and inviting bed decked out in custom linens and nestled atop a color-coordinated area rug.

The balcony embraces the grand ocean views. The owners and their guests can soak it all in from the comfort of the understated outdoor furniture collection. The gray tone of the pieces means they can take a back seat to the tropical setting that makes this home truly special.

“I feel we were able to encapsulate the homeowners’ vision of having their own coastal retreat where every room is unique on its own, but the entire condo has a very cohesive flow from room to room,” Hardt says. “They love it. It was supposed to be temporary while they built something else, but the client said, ‘I love it and never want to leave.’” «

Natural Selection Pikaia Lodge is a highly evolved, non-cruise alternative to experiencing one of Earth’s ultimate BUCKET-LIST DESTINATIONS

By Paul Rubio A visit to the remote Galápagos Islands is a veritable rite of passage for world travelers. Located more than 500 nautical miles west of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean, this ecologically diverse archipelago functions as a living museum of natural history—a mind-boggling foreign landscape where plants and animals have evolved for centuries without human interference.

059_ESCAPE_0420.indd 59

For the most part, even high-end travel to this remote area has typically entailed elements of roughing it: Pricey-yet-outdated expedition ships showcase Charles Darwin’s fantasy islands with an understanding that luxury lies in the destination, not the five-star accommodations. But that’s all changing thanks to the boutique Pikaia Lodge, a 14-unit design sensation situated between a pair of extinct volcanic NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | APRIL 2020

The wellappointed Pikaia Lodge features amenities like an infinityedge pool with panoramic ocean vistas (above), the Japanesestyle Sumaq Spa (upper right), and accomodations with floor-toceiling views of Santa Cruz Island (right).

Look forward to excursions to Bartolomé Island and the landmark Pinnacle Rock (below).

craters on Santa Cruz Island, at the center of the bucket-list island chain.

A welcomed disrupter to Galápagos tourism, Pikaia rises above one of the Galápagos’ few inhabited swathes—of the islands’ 3,028-squaremile landmass, humans occupy only 3 percent— and delivers all the amenities one would expect in a top-tier lodge, plus easy access to iconic locales and wildlife-rich surrounds. High in the cloud forests of southern Santa Cruz, Pikaia stands some 1,500 feet above sea level, promising 360-degree views of the Galápagos’ landand-sea splendor as well as design that itself is a sight to behold. An enclave of oversized glass panes, arched white walls, and prolific open-air common spaces, this minimalist marvel seamlessly blends with the proximate lush foliage and

oceanic blues below. The grounds are strewn with artistic nods to Darwin and science, such as sculptures of DNA double helixes and statues of Pikaia Gracilens, the oldest known ancestor to vertebrates, from which the lodge gains its name. Sustainability has been meticulously woven into Pikaia’s aesthetic and framework, best exemplified by its natural lava stone floors and walls, rainwater-collecting rooftops, and overall carbon neutrality.

But Pikaia understands that you aren’t coming to the Galápagos to simply hang out in a fabulous hotel—though we wouldn’t judge should you decide to spend copious hours at the lounger-lined infinity pool or in your en suite Jacuzzi overlooking the cloud forest. Ultimately, you’re here for the nature, and it’s nature you’ll get.

The experience at Pikaia plays out as multiday, all-inclusive packages—available from as few as four days/three nights to as many as eight days/seven nights—where guests engage in land excursions on Santa Cruz Island, visit neighboring isles on one of the house yachts, and enjoy five-star excess back at the lodge.

A typical day may include a sail to North Seymour Island for an extraordinary hike alongside the frigate birds and blue-footed boobies, followed by an early afternoon snorkel among octopuses, white-tipped reef sharks, fur seals, and countless schools of vibrantly colored tropical fish. Another may begin by exploring the craggy, lava-hewn coastline of Sullivan Bay on Santiago Island, then hopping in a zodiac

to search for and swim with penguins and sea lions, before climbing to the top of Bartolomé Island to take in the grandeur of Pinnacle Rock, the symbol of the Galápagos.

Excursions vary by week, as trips to specific islands within national parklands are strictly regulated and assigned with little advance notice for non–cruise ship operators. Regardless, a new adventure beckons every day, alternating between jaunts at sea and on land with a dedicated professional naturalist who remains with the group for the full package duration. At a minimum, expect to snap numerous photos of the many giant tortoises (aka Galápagos, from which the archipelago gains its name) inhabiting Santa Cruz’s rolling hills, including the grounds around Pikaia. Look forward to downing a local beer in the town of Puerto Ayora and blowing up your social media with images of red-pouched frigate birds, amphibious marine iguanas, ubiquitous orange Sally Lightfoot crabs, and blue-footed boobies hamming it up for the camera.

Of course, you’d see the same on a Galápagos cruise, but your pre- and post-excursion experiences would definitely not be the same.

In lieu of ship cabins and cramped common spaces at sea, a sumptuous home base lends to greater leisure pursuits, from decadent multicourse meals in Evolution Restaurant (of Relais & Châteaux standard, no less) to lengthy treatments in the Japanese-inspired Sumaq Spa. On land, guests don’t endure a relentless 5:30 a.m. wake-up call nor the hectic pace of cruise ships’

twice-daily excursions. On the contrary, Pikaia offers a slower stride for absorbing the Galápagos’ riches.

Pikaia’s model works for some but not for others, especially those seeking to discover as much as possible of the archipelago’s 18 main islands. Admittedly, Pikaia can only access islands that are within a reasonable distance from Santa Cruz, thereby excluding sights like the nesting colonies of waved albatross on Española Island and the extreme volcanic landscapes of Fernandina Island. That being said, Pikaia succeeds in its mission to avoid the ordinary and create a balance between active and leisurely pursuits. The pampering is best suited to those wanting ample time to reflect on Galápagos grandeur, not necessarily type As hoping to island hop at a rapid-fire pace. Overall, Pikaia opens up one of Earth’s greatest destinations to a new generation of travelers seeking a combination of nature and luxury, with an emphasis toward the latter. (pikaialodge.com) «

KEYLAXATION

Bungalows Key Largo offers a chic approach to all-inclusive

By Paul Rubio Think all-inclusive resort, and Mexico or the Dominican Republic typically come to mind. But a new offering in Florida’s Upper Keys is bringing Key Largo into the all-inclusive fold—in the best way possible.

Say hello to Bungalows Key Largo, an adults-only (21-plus) property that pairs the amenities of an exclusive island retreat with the laid-back lifestyle of the Florida Keys. Bungalows is a far cry from the low-brow, all-inclusive properties that have become synonymous with budget Caribbean travel. Rather, it’s a detail-oriented escape with high-end amenities, top-shelf liquor, and personality-driven restaurants.

Located on the Keys’ bayside just beyond Mile Marker 99, Bungalows is accessed from a small turn-off that weaves through dense-yet-manicured foliage. After valeting your own wheels, you’ll be escorted on a pastel blue golf cart through the resort’s matching blue wooden gates.

Zigzagging along palm tree–laced trails, you’ll cross paths with the Beach House, home to an array of restaurants, and a massive reclining Buddha that underscores Bungalows’ The alfresco tranquility mantra. More vacasoaking tub and tion bliss awaits across a colrain shower lection of 135 white-washed bungalows, each boasting modern furnishings and a private garden with an alfresco soaking tub and rain shower.

After settling into your romantic bungalow, it’s time to explore an intoxicating world of fun-in-the-sun, designed to make you never ever want

Clockwise from far left: The waterfront bungalows’ patios; the Sunset Pool; explore Key Largo by kayak, paddleboard, or bike; entrance to the Zen Garden Spa.

to leave. Choose between two pool and Jacuzzi areas or a beachfront lounger to destress and work on your tan. The all-inclusive policy means there’s no reason to decline another watermelon margarita while soaking, sunbathing, or enjoying live music sessions. Thematic eateries like toes-in-the-sand Mexican restaurant Sea Señor and Fish Tales—the design of which recalls Il Riccio on Capri—are idyllic for long, memorable meals and languid, cocktail-heavy days. Floating tiki boats head out twice daily for tours along the bay; you can also choose your own bayside adventure via paddleboard, water trike, or kayak, admiring the setting while keeping an eye out for dolphins and manatees.

To counter the eating and drinking excess, consider a scenic ride on a beach cruiser (every bungalow comes with two) or get fit in the palapatopped outdoor gym. Early risers can look forward to morning group yoga and fitness classes, which range from hatha and vinyasa to a sunrise stretch. Alternatively, treat yourself to a few hours—or more—in the Asian-themed spa. Relax to the sounds of the wind passing through the bamboo gardens, unwind with a eucalyptus steam, or detox in the Himalayan salt room before expert therapists put your body at ease.

Finally, should curiosity or the odd case of cabin fever push you beyond Bungalows’ boundaries, the property provides complimentary transportation within a 5-mile radius. We wouldn’t blame you for wanting to check out the superb snorkeling at nearby John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park or chartering a fishing boat to learn why this region lays claim to America’s best sportfishing. But no matter how you choose to spend your days and nights at Bungalows Key Largo, you’ll quickly fall for this harbinger of American all-inclusive chic and its unique marriage of unapologetic indulgence and Florida Keys–style relaxation.

The Wonderful Windy City

VIBE Rugged, refined, robust, and real

MICHAEL CARONCHI

Like many Neapolitans, it was a combination of amenities and family that drew Dan Jensen to the Paradise Coast. The Illinois-born artist was living in Chicago when he took a golf trip to Naples and fell in love with the area. He married his wife, Nancee Martin, on the beach at LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort, and they now live near DelnorWiggins State Park. Jensen, who earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the University of Denver, counts dining with fellow artist David Hockney and having his own work sold at auction at Sotheby’s as personal and professional highlights. Locally, he’s involved with Naples Art and even had a one-man show at the organization in March.

Though Jensen and Martin are enthusiastic devotees of the Naples lifestyle, they relish returning to Chicago for its cultural and culinary hot spots. —Caroline Ridgway

HIGH ROAD

Back to BLACK Rolls-Royce has given its Cullinan SUV the Black Badge treatment, but beware: It will take you to the DARK SIDE

By Howard Walker In the immortal words of intergalactic archvillain Darth Vader: “You don’t know the power of the Dark Side.”

Tonight we’re experiencing its full force while heading to a galaxy far, far away. That is, Miami after dark.

Forget about the postcard-perfect Magic City and the neon-lit, teeny-bikini hedonism that is South Beach. We’re in Wynwood. A decade ago, this 10-block strip between the Intracoastal and I-95 was a testimony to urban decay—boarded-up windows, razor-wire fencing, snarling junkyard dogs, and all.

It’s still gritty, but crumbling cinder block has been transformed into a vast display of eclectic street art. The epicenter, Wynwood Walls, has seen close to 100,000 square feet of largely abandoned warehouse walls turned into a gallery of mural art by creatives from around the globe.

By day, tourists come by the thousands to gaze in jaw-on-the-floor wonder at the works, refuel at the tragically hip cafés and restaurants, 68

and shop at the au courant boutiques. But late at night, when the crowds have long returned to their cruise ships and Art Deco hostelries, the edginess returns. This is no place to be driving a $400,000 Rolls-Royce.

Thankfully, this is no regular Rolls bedecked with shimmering Flying Ladies and an aura of plutocratic pomp and Grey Poupon circumstance. This is Lord Vader’s ride. This is the new Cullinan Black Badge.

Since 2016 and the introduction of the Wraith Black Badge two-door coupe, Rolls has been giving its lineup the full back-to-black Sith treatment. The aim? To appeal to a new generation of younger, more diverse, self-made buyers in want of a less cookie-cutter design.

It’s been working. The average age of a Rolls customer is now below 40, with one in five opting for a Black Badge model. With this new Cullinan Black Badge, the ratio is expected to jump to one in three.

See the Cullinan BB loitering outside the hyper-trendy Wynwood Kitchen & Bar and it radiates a menacing “don’t mess with me” attitude.

Nearly every piece of chrome has been blackened. Even the Spirit of Ecstasy Flying Lady has a full-body coating of high-gloss black chrome.

Up front, that iconic Parthenon grille has received a Vader noir makeover. In profile, it has the effect of making this sky-high-roofed SUV appear less top-heavy and lower to the ground. Having towering, blackrimmed, 22-inch forged alloys at each corner doesn’t hurt either.

Climb aboard and the cabin is a sea of high-gloss carbon fiber that stretches across the dash, center console, and doors. I love the blacked-

out clock and strip of contrasting searingyellow piping that rings the dash top. But the visual highlight of this cavernous interior is the Cullinan’s Starlight Headliner with its 1,344 fiber-optic ends that replicate a starry night. If that alone weren’t cool enough, there’s also a “Shooting Star” feature that randomly uses groups of eight brighter fiber optics to dart across the ceiling.

All this might be considered window dressing if it weren’t for the upgrades in performance, handling, and braking that come with the Black Badge specs. The stock Cullinan’s mighty 6.75-liter twin-turbo V-12 gets a 29-hp boost to take the new output to a nice round 600 hp. There’s also an extra 37 lb-ft of torque on tap to lift it to 664 lb-ft.

l FOLLOW HOWARD WALKER’S THE WHEEL WORLD BLOG ON NAPLES ILLUSTRATED.COM Now when you squeeze the throttle, you’ll rush to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds, down from 5.2. More aggressive transmission shifting only heightens the Rolls’ athletic, urgent feel.

Late at night is certainly the best time to cruise Miami; there’s less traffic, better views of that twinkling skyline, and more chances to feel the Cullinan’s hyperdrive force. Yes, the hushed, silent running is still there. So too is the magic-carpet ride. But there’s a more dynamic character here that truly heightens the allure of this flagship SUV. As Lord Vader would say: “Impressive. Most impressive.” «

Balance Friendships, fitness, and purpose reflect Neapolitan wellness

By Loretta Grantham Photography by John Eder Brenda Melton’s friendships are so strong that when a fellow St. Louis native went through a divorce several years ago, she didn’t just offer support—she wrote a book. “Suffice it to say that she needed to vent, and it was through those conversations, some of them very funny, that I came up with U’ve Been Served,” Melton says.

“It’s amazing what stress can do to a person, but it’s even more amazing how relationships and a good laugh can help you heal.”

The Naples philanthropist’s tongue-in-cheek tome isn’t a recipe book, although it includes Full-of-Bologna Sandwiches (“for the ex who never told the truth a day in his life”), Mis-Steaks (“learn from them and move forward”), and, well, Jerk Chicken. It’s fodder for a girlfriends’ gathering.

The happily married founder of the Celebrity Martini Glass Auction, which raises money for veterans’ charities, recently rounded up a handful of friends to flip through U’ve Been Served and feast on wholesome fare at her Gulf Shore Boulevard home.

Naples is routinely ranked as one of the healthiest, happiest cities in the country by national polls, and Melton—who walks a 4-mile round trip to Food & Thought five days a week for wheatgrass—is a bright-eyed example of vitality achieved through a balanced life. Exercise, purpose, downtime, plant-based food, family, community, and friends are among principles espoused by the Blue Zones Project, a global 70 NAPLES ILLUSTRATED

FROM THAT DAY ON, I STARTED EATING BETTER—MORE VEGETABLES AND SALADS— AND I STARTED PREPARING HEALTHY THINGS AHEAD OF TIME ON WEEKENDS.”

wellness initiative, and the former marketing executive checks off those boxes and more. But she hasn’t always lived this way, she says. In fact, her routine was wrecking her health.

“In my 20s, when I was working for Datamax [a St. Louisbased office equipment and print management firm], I didn’t want to take vacation time. The company truly became my family. I would work until 7 or 8 at night and just go to Burger King or Taco Bell on the way home.

“Then one day, they had a visiting nurse come in and check everyone out, and this gal calls me in and says, ‘Brenda, doesn’t heart disease run in your family? You only weigh 102 pounds, but your cholesterol is off the charts!’”

Melton, one of six children who grew up eating biscuits and gravy and other bought-on-base fare—her dad was in the Air Force—says high-calorie cuisine was standard issue. “My mother would’ve fried butter if she could have,” she says, laughing. “We ate a lot of spaghetti and fried chicken, anything from the commissary that would go a long way.”

The young executive’s cholesterol wasn’t the only thing out of line, and after the nurse discussed looming health risks if she didn’t make a change, Melton did what she still does to this day: She took immediate action.

“From that day on, I started eating better—more vegetables and salads—and I started preparing healthy things ahead of time on weekends. That’s when a girlfriend of mine whose mother who’d been diagnosed with cancer turned me on to wheatgrass because she felt better after drinking it. I started doing wheatgrass juice long before it was popular.”

Melton also does a shot of ginger (“it’s good for your digestive system,” she adds) after her morning trek to Food & Thought. “It’s so Zen and beautiful in the courtyard there, and 72

the walk lets me clear my mind, which is how I like to start my day. I’m a woman of faith, and I also start my day with a message of thanks for my home and my husband.”

After a brief first marriage to her high school sweetheart, Melton met her husband, Phil, a former bank executive, in her early 30s. They wed in 1994 and moved to Naples a year later. Like her father, he, too, had served in the military, which is why she’s devoted to veterans’ causes. When the HBO series Sex and the City was made into a movie a decade ago—the characters’ signature sip was a cosmopolitan in a martini glass—Melton launched her idea to auction celebrity-signed stemware for charity.

“After we moved to Florida, my husband got on the golf course and never looked back,” she recalls. “But I cried for two years because something was missing. I realized that I’d worked all my life, and I missed the anticipation of the weekend. It felt like Friday every day! I needed to stay relevant and have a purpose.”

Once again Melton took action, this time writing letters to agents and publicists seeking celebrity signatures. Eight years later, in 2018, the Meltons established the Veterans Support Fund through the Community Foundation of Collier County. More than $5 million has been raised since the first Celebrity Martini Glass Auction was held in the shoe department (another nod to Sex and the City) at Saks Fifth Avenue in Naples.

Letters, however, aren’t the only thing that Melton writes, as evidenced by today’s informal party featuring U’ve Been Served, portions of which her friends can’t help but read out loud, including directions for Baby-Don’tCome-Back Ribs, and Chicken and Dumped-Lings. Dishes that are actually being served, meanwhile, include pan-seared salmon with baby beets and kale; chicken breast with sliced turnips; and five-spice roasted acorn squash.

“The book isn’t about man-bashing,” says the casually clad hostess, who’s known for her energy, optimism, and relaxed sense of style. “It’s about having fun, even when there are failures. If you don’t have failures, you haven’t lived. We all have our journeys, and it’s up to us to take them.”

For Melton, those journeys begin each day in a healthful way—with gratitude, a brisk walk, and a desire to give back through friendships and philanthropy, one martini glass at a time. «

For nature photographer Dennis Goodman, it’s all about the crop and the pop—of color, that is.

“I find the uniqueness of a subject through composition and lighting,” says the Minneapolis native, who’s lived in Naples since 1985. “Normally, people wouldn’t crop a hawk the way I did [photo above], but I try to find the soul of the bird. I don’t want to just take a picture. I want my work to be an art form with a unique pose and an impact that changes people.”

A former property manager, the father of two changed careers “in a leap of faith,” he says. “Photography was always my way to relieve stress, and I didn’t think about anything else when I was outdoors. When I was growing up, I’d take off and go to the woods, but I didn’t start photography until after I lived in Florida. I followed my passion and have been doing it full-time since 2008.”

The self-trained lensman, who credits the mentorship of Florida wilderness photographer Clyde Butcher, has a studio in Naples; sells at art shows during season; and has a booming commercial business, with images on display in high-rises, hotels, hospitals, and office buildings throughout the state.

“I stay so busy October through April that I do most of my shooting in the summer,” says Goodman, whose wife, Kristen, works as a photo organizer, scanner, and archivist. “You have to be patient to shoot in nature, but you also have to respect the wildlife, whether it be a butterfly or an alligator. For me, every trip is a spiritual expedition.” —Loretta Grantham

VITAL NAPLES FIRMS TARGET VIGOR WITH HIGH TECH

STATISTICS

BY ANDREA JONES PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOHN EDER

For most of us, a typical doctor’s appointment plays out much like it did when we were kids—minus the promise of a lollipop for enduring our shots. But nowadays in Naples, high-tech health companies are challenging the status quo and targeting quality of life before the potential for illness.

“After spending $4 trillion a year on health care in the United States, we don’t have a great track record,” says Dr. William Kapp, founder and CEO of Naplesbased Longevity Solutions. “We have a great track record when you’re sick, but as far as stopping you from getting sick or helping you to navigate or avoid things that may happen, we’re not very good at it right now.”

Kapp and Dr. Michael Dent, founder and CEO of HealthLynked, an online network that connects patients and their doctors, are seeking to make people more proactive in building and sustaining wellness by giving them interactive access to an astounding array of data.

Longevity Solutions, for example, provides in-depth bioimaging and advanced analysis (as in, a remarkably clear view of a patient’s health today augmented by forecasts for what may lie ahead without lifestyle changes), complemented by revolutionary fitness centers that use smart machines, not just dumbbells. There are also customized nutrition plans and overall wellness strategies.

Kapp, an orthopedic surgeon, is also the founder of seven acute-care Landmark Hospitals around the country, 82

including Naples, and health-care IT company Technomad in Bonita Springs.

The Atlanta native says that traditional health care has focused on “sick care” for too long instead of targeting root causes for illness. He wants to shift that focus so that prevention is at the forefront and doctors take on the roles of health coaches.

“Just making you live longer and managing your decline is not the answer,” he says. “The answer is optimizing your health up until the final day.”

To do that, Kapp and his team have designed a two-prong approach.

The first piece is a deep-dive assessment that involves whole-genome sequencing, advanced MRI imaging, a CT scan, and comprehensive blood tests. In addition to detecting early signs of disease, the team analyzes a patient’s results using artificial intelligence, revealing immediately relevant health information: a patient’s overall body composition; propensity for muscle building; susceptibility for about a hundred diseases; the relationship of genetics to food sensitivities; and the ability to metabolize specific drugs or vitamins, among other markers.

DNA and MRI analyses, by the way, are accomplished through a partnership with San Diego–based Human Longevity, which was founded by Craig Venter, the biotechnologist who sequenced the first human genome.

(Long story short: That’s how experts use DNA to determine a patient’s hereditary risk for certain diseases.)

Longevity Solutions and Human Longevity are the only facilities in the world that offer the

deep-dive assessment.

“About 40 percent [of patients] have some issue that needs to be addressed,” Kapp says.

“And 14 percent have something significant that needs to be addressed. The whole idea is to detect disease before it becomes a problem and show you how to mitigate it.”

And that’s where the second piece of Longevity Solutions’ approach comes in— Longevity Performance Centers. These stateof-the-art wellness facilities (the first is in North Naples with more U.S. locations to come) are filled with smart machines that are powered by cloud-based technology and calibrated to each member’s fitness status and goals. The centers also feature an in-house physician, nurse, and nutritionist.

When you enter the Longevity Performance Center on Immokalee Road, you immediately notice that it’s not your average gym. Members scan a wristband before using a piece

of equipment. The machine then pulls the member’s profile from the cloud to provide a customized, 30-minute workout. There are no clipboard-toting personal trainers. Instead, the equipment tells users how many repetitions they should perform and at what weight.

Members such as Geri Brown, who completed the deep-dive medical assessment before starting a fitness regimen, say they benefit from targeting specific issues identified by the test and enjoy continually improving their profile through lifestyle changes.

“Having this information only helps if we take what we have learned from the testing and work toward a healthier lifestyle with diet and exercise,” says Brown, a New York native who retired from a Wall Street career in the finance industry.

Adds Kapp: “We talk about the utility for exercise, but nobody has the data to show what the underlying genetic and epigenetic effects are with exercise … and we have that data.”

Compiling that critical information, he says, shows that major health challenges—such as cognitive decline, heart disease, and more— can be reversed or slowed through customized training.

“It’s not just ‘Here’s your Mediterranean diet, and you need to do crossword puzzles,’” he says. “There’s so much more to be achieved through exercise.”

Brown says she feels empowered by using data as a benchmark and that she and her husband, who recently became full-time Neapolitans, are making great strides.

“We feel better, we look healthier, and we eat healthier,” she says. “More importantly, we

JUST MAKING YOU LIVE LONGER AND MANAGING YOUR DECLINE IS NOT THE ANSWER. THE ANSWER IS OPTIMIZING YOUR HEALTH UP UNTIL THE FINAL DAY.” —DR. WILLIAM KAPP

are now very proactive in keeping ourselves as healthy as possible in the coming years.

I am 68, and my husband is 75. Our biological ages have dropped significantly since we started this whole process.”

Part of that process, wellness advocates say, is effective and efficient communication with health-care providers.

HealthLynked, for example, is behind an ever-growing online network that connects patients and their doctors, giving them the ability to share and store personal medical information, make appointments, and comanage family members’ health care.

“We’re building systems within that network to provide personalized recommendations to patients,” says Dent, a former women’s medical practitioner who founded Fort Myersbased NeoGenomics, a cancer diagnostics lab company, in 2002.

“Traditionally, just two people are involved in your health care—you and your doctor,” he says. “HealthLynked would be a third figure that would optimize that relationship.”

HealthLynked members fill out just one profile, rather than a new stack of forms at every doctor’s appointment, and then their information goes with them when they switch health-care providers or travel.

On the provider side of things, HealthLynked has designed technology to improve

082_LONGEVITY_0420.indd 85

A Longevity Performance Center staff member (above) discusses data with a client. Technology is increasingly being used to boost vitality and overall wellness, not just treat disease. A cool laser (right) is among the cutting-edge equipment at Naples-based Longevity Solutions, which seeks to integrate data with recommendations for lifestyle changes.

patients’ in-office experience and analyze trends within a practice, including busiest days and wait times.

When providers become part of the HealthLynked Network, they deploy the company’s Patient Access Hub, which allows patients to check-in via a WiFi network on their smartphone. This means that nobody needs to call your name from across the room anymore.

“We’re expecting to deploy 1,000 devices by the end of the year,” Dent says. “The focus is fundamentally changing the way health care is delivered.”

HealthLynked, which has about 500,000 members in Florida, also is developing an artificial intelligence component that will pro-

vide diagnostic data based on factors such as a patient’s history, geography, environmental exposures, and symptoms, which are provided voluntarily through self-updated profiles.

Dent also envisions expanding HealthLynked’s social capabilities, which would allow patients to share information privately about health challenges and treatments.

Cutting-edge technology isn’t new to medicine, obviously, but goals and methods are shifting, especially where Naples-based businesses are concerned. Says Kapp: “In 10 to 15 years, we’ll be using precision diagnostics and therapies to extend the healthy human lifespan, not just treat diseases after they occur. It’s a paradigm shift whose time has come.” « NAPLESILLUSTRATED.COM | APRIL 2020

SPREADING SMILES

With a focus on philanthropy, plastic surgeon Paul Gardner is changing lives with his magic touch Whether treating his patients with caring expertise locally or during medical missions overseas, Naples plastic surgeon Paul Gardner, MD, has repeatedly distinguished himself as a “top doctor” by patients, peers, and the community.

Distinction in Castle Connolly’s America’s Top Doctors and other industry honors reflect Gardner’s dedication and skills, which he first honed as a medical student at the University of Florida and as an attending surgeon working with children and veterans for a dozen years in Birmingham, Alabama.

At Gardner Plastic Surgery, which he opened in 2006, Gardner emphasizes discrete, natural-looking outcomes in rejuvenating facial, breast, and body enhancements. “I don’t try to change how a person looks; I just turn back the clock,” he says. “The biggest compliment is always when my patients are told, ‘Oh, you look great. Did you lose weight? Did you change your hair?’

Something is different but their friends or coworkers just can’t tell what it is. That is the art of plastic surgery.”

Gardner also finds fulfillment in the impact he’s made for at least 20 years on medical mission trips with Operation Smile, one of many charitable causes Gardner and his wife, Amy, a pediatric nurse, support. The Virginia-based organization has provided hundreds of thousands of surgeries on cleft lips and cleft palates in more than 80 countries since its founding in 1982.

“We’ll go into an area and treat 150 kids in a week and change their lives permanently,” explains Gardner, who chose Operation Smile over other medical mission organizations because of the expertise, efficiency, and follow-up care it provides. “[Operation Smile] gets there a full year in advance of the mission and sets up the infrastructure. Everything is set up, even the promotion of the mission, so that there are patients who come from all over the country. You’re able to do quite a bit in a short amount time.”

Only the highest-priority candidates, usually kids who have not previously been treated, are selected from among the 400 to 500 people who routinely seek help, Gardner says. But on several occasions, Gardner has found ways to help those turned away, often adults. In one such case, Gardner and his wife, who used to join him on medical missions before the birth of their two children, treated a man in his 20s under local anesthesia after Operation Smile had completed its scheduled surgeries.

“He had been doing fine, but he had never kissed a girl, and his goal was to get kissed,” Gardner recalls. “He lay there very stoically, and we fixed his lip. It was amazing.” —Seth Soffian

THOUGHTFUL CARE How one Naples physician gives his neurology patients concierge-level attention and comfort

Joe Kandel, MD, was in disbelief when he was told that his eldest daughter, not yet 3 years old and profoundly autistic, would be a lifelong burden to his wife and him. He certainly didn’t like the way the message was delivered—without much care for the complex emotions being wrought.

The board-certified neurologist revered for the compassion he brings to his relationships with patients points to that exchange, and his daughter’s journey, as turning points in his career. “She still has deficits but she’s doing spectacular,” Kandel says. “When people ask me what I expect of her, I say, ‘The same thing I expect of my other two children: to be productive, to be happy, to reach their fullest potential.’”

A physician in Naples for more than 30 years, Kandel was a founder and long-time team member of a larger practice before opening his own office in 2015. His colleagues thought he was retiring, but his plan was to provide “concierge-level care without the concierge price.” Kandel adds that, “I just decided I would much rather be a little more old-fashioned and spend more time with patients and less on business. I told them it was because I love what I do, and I’m going to do it a long time.”

While stopping short of calling himself a “traditional holistic doctor,” Kandel takes a broad approach with his patients.

This mindset is apparent in the dozen books he’s written for general audiences on migraines, back pain, arthritis, elder care, attention deficit disorder, and Alzheimer’s, and in his medical credo: “To cure sometimes, to heal often, to comfort always.”

Kandel’s specialties include back and neck pain and headaches and migraines, for which there are many “incredible, life-changing” new treatments, he notes. His long tenure in Naples links him to a network of other trusted medical professionals and specialists when referrals are necessary. To provide cost-effective, affordable care, Kandel has given up golf and says he works from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is in the office on Saturdays.

In his typical sunny demeanor, Kandel challenges the label of workaholic. He simply prefers spending his time caring for others, he says. He and his wife have devoted themselves to their family and to numerous charitable causes, particularly children and adults with special needs. Above all, his parental experiences have been a driving force behind his sensitive approach as a physician. “I would never be the physician I am if my daughter did not have her special needs and her unique journey. It’s not just what you say. It’s how you say it. And it’s how you feel about it when you say it.” —Seth Soffian

ALL HEART

This Naples cardiologist advocates self-care for a healthy heart, personally and professionally Sajan Rao, MD, specializes in complex cardiovascular disorders and helms prominent medical committees in Southwest Florida.

He leads community outreach events and volunteers to provide free care to the working poor at the Neighborhood Health Clinic.

He looks after his own health with daily exercise and is fully invested alongside his wife—an accomplished cardiologist—in the lives of their three young children.

“I’m just trying to do the best job I can as a cardiologist and serve the community,” says Rao, who began practicing at SWICFT Institute of Southwest Florida and Naples Community Hospital in 2009. “I feel fortunate to be a cardiologist here in Naples. We have an extraordinary community that’s willing to support good causes and a lot of people who are very interested in their health.”

A George Washington University School of Medicine graduate, Rao is chairman of the NCH Department of Medicine, where he was named “Physician of the Year” in 2018, and co-chairs its continuing medical education committee.

He is president of the Southwest Florida Chapter of the American Heart Association and chaired the Collier County Heart Walk in 2018, when he was the top fundraiser and earned the Dr. Pascotto Golden Heart Award. “That’s one of my passions,” Rao says of the annual walk held each November at Cambier Park.

Rao—whose interests include preventative cardiology, imaging, and clinical research—encourages patients to seek balance in their lives by eating right, being physically active, getting enough sleep, and finding healthy mechanisms to deal with stress. “It’s not just what medicines we prescribe or what procedures we do,” he explains. “All of our lives are full of stress.

How do you cope?”

Rao and his wife, Shona Velamakanni, MD, feel fortunate to have the support of their parents, who live locally and spend time daily with their children, in grades 6, 3, and kindergarten. They also achieve balance by sometimes incorporating exercise into activities with their kids.

“It’s a challenge, there’s no question,” he says. “We are both busy cardiologists who take emergency-room call responsibilities and work on weekends. It’s just one of those things that you learn how to juggle.”

Rao is leading a new committee spearheaded by NCH Healthcare System and the Collier County Medical Society that addresses physician well-being. It’s a worsening problem nationwide as doctors face increased pressures from insurance companies, record-keeping, patient volume, and other demands.

“There’s an enormous burnout level,” says Rao, citing access to mental health services and other resources that can be difficult for physicians to attain. “We’re trying to break down some of those walls and allow all the services and opportunities that are available to anyone to be available to doctors as well.” —Seth Soffian

Medical decisions are some of the most important choices our readers make. In an effort to provide the best medical information available, Naples Illustrated has enlisted a professional marketing company, Professional Research Services of Troy, Michigan, to identify the Top Doctors in Naples.

Together we surveyed licensed physicians, asking them to reveal the best medical professionals in our area. These Top Doctors have been scrutinized for the legitimacy of their licenses as well as their status with the Florida Department of Health. While there are outstanding professionals who aren’t listed here, we hope you’ll give these doctors special consideration when choosing a medical professional.

KIRAN GILL, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Combining her interests in surgery and artistry, Dr. Kiran Gill specializes in aesthetic treatments of the face, breast, and body.

Since joining the Southwest Florida community in 2015, she has quickly distinguished herself as a consummate artist in the fields of breast surgery, facial rejuvenation, body sculpting, and antiaging by blending her advanced training and techniques with an exceptional level of professional integrity and compassionate care. As a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon— and founder of the only female-owned, premier plastic surgery practice in the area—Gill provides a personalized and intuitive approach based on precision and innovation to create exquisite, natural results for her clients.

Gill’s eight years of surgical training at some of the nation’s leading medical institutions culminated with an advanced fellowship in aesthetic surgery of the face, breast, and body at the prestigious Few Institute for Aesthetic Surgery in Chicago.

Consequently, she brings a unique level of expertise to Southwest Florida and is continuously fine-tuning her techniques to stay on top of the cutting edge of cosmetic science.

As a female physician, Gill has a sensibility and keen understanding of her patients’ needs and cosmetic goals. Her Boutique Plastic Surgery Practice and Skin Spa offers both surgical and non-surgical options for men and women, including face, breast, and body rejuvenation procedures, as well as a variety of non-invasive skin and spa treatments.

When patients step into her office, they are greeted and attended by a highly trained, compassionate, and dedicated team who has been carefully selected, not only for their superior expertise, but for the personalized attention they provide clients from the start of the procedure to the very end. The private, tranquil, state-of-the-art Boutique Plastic Surgery Practice offers a luxurious environment for all visitors.

Gill actively supports several local charities and organizations and, as a member of the Physician Led Access Network (PLAN) of Collier County, has performed a number of pro bono breast reconstruction surgeries for women who lack sufficient health insurance. She is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

Internal medicine specialist Dr. Diane Brzezinski has earned praise for her “patient-first” focus, helping patients take ownership of their health through education and promoting a healthy lifestyle. A doctor of osteopathic medicine, Dr. B—as she is affectionately called—treats chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes, and offers comprehensive physical exams.

For both men and women, Dr. B offers BioTE hormone pellets that consistently release bio-identical estrogen and testosterone. This therapy can be effective in increasing energy, muscle strength, mental clarity, and libido. In addition, Dr. B performs diVa, a vaginal laser therapy that can reduce intimate challenges such as vaginal laxity, weak muscle tone, lack of lubrication, painful intercourse, and bladder leakage. For patients struggling with obesity, Dr. B offers two weight-loss programs that emphasize meal replacement and exercise, using appetite suppressants as needed.

Brzezinski is a fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Internists and a member of the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association. She has been on the medical advisory committee of the nonprofit Bosom Buddies for 16 years.

TOP DOCTORS OF 2020

JONATHAN K. JAY, M.D.

ROLANDO RIVERA, M.D.

DAVID R. WILKINSON, M.D.

Jonathan K. Jay, M.D., is board-certified in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery and urology. He has been practicing medicine for 24 years and for the past 19 years he has been selected as a top doctor in Naples.

Dr. Jay completed his fellowship training at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston. Throughout his training, he received numerous honors and awards including Outstanding Resident Training Award and Lansing School District Distinguished Alumni Award.

His areas of interest include urodynamics and bladder dysfuntion as well as urogynecology. He is involved in clinical research, including clinical trials for the minimally invasive correction of bladder control problems. Dr. Jay has significant experience in laparoscopic surgery and in robotic surgery using the da Vinci© surgical system. “The advantage with robotic surgery is it can get into tiny spaces where you can’t get your hand,” he says. “It is minimally invasive surgery, and the surgical field is magnified.”

Helping people is his favorite part of his job.

He wants his patients, both men and women, to understand their diagnosis, its genesis, and their options for treatment. “Sometimes I’ll get patients with the same problems who want two different outcomes,” he says. “I define the treatment’s positives and negatives. If it’s not life-threatening, some choose to do nothing−and that’s not a bad thing. It’s about quality of life. That’s why I’m different from other doctors.”

Dr. Jay likens his discussions with patients to Paul Harvey’s famous tagline, “That’s the rest of the story.” Says Dr. Jay: “I get so much wisdom from my patients that they change my life. They make my tomorrows so much better.”

Rolando Rivera, M.D., a board-certified urologist specializing in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery was among the first surgeons in Southwest Florida to use the da Vinci® surgery robotic surgical system to repair vaginal prolapse.

He and his partner are the first in the nation to implement an in-office and ASC setting Peer to Peer Immersion program for UroLift. He also offers men and women suffering from overactive bladder and urinary incontinence InterStim® neuromodulatoin therapy and Botox® injections in the bladder. “We pride ourselves in being state-of-the art, and it is a very broad field. I do enjoy that,” he says.

With expertise in all urological diseases and erectile dysfunction, Dr. Rivera also offers endoscopic procedures, laser procedures, and laparoscopic surgery. Throughout his career, he has written multiple abstracts on a variety of topics for urological meetings and preceptors for students.

Dr. Rivera started his medical career as a general medical doctor in the U.S. Army. Surgical issues are what first attracted him to medicine, but once in practice, he realized his patients were what he truly enjoyed. “I’ve had longstanding relationships with patients for years since I started practicing in 2006, and in some specialties you don’t have that,” Dr. Rivera says.

Being involved with the community is also important to Dr. Rivera. He is the immediate past president of the Florida Urological Society and is an active member in the Physician Led Access Network (PLAN), a nonprofit network of health professionals who help provide access to quality health care for low-income and uninsured adult residents in Collier County.

“I’m just a regular guy trying to do what I can for my family, my patients, and my community,” he says.

For the past 13 years, David R. Wilkinson, M.D., a board-certified urologist, has practiced in the Naples area. His specialties are laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery, and minimally invasive treatment of prostatic diseases. Additionally, he has indepth training and experience in da Vinci© robotic prostatectomy and other da Vinci© robotic system applications.

Dr. Wilkinson started his medical career as a respiratory therapist until his especially caring attitude toward patients led a colleague to suggest that he attend medical school. Later, Dr. Wilkinson planned to be an emergency room physician until he realized once patients left, he never knew their outcomes. He wanted a medical career where he had long-term relationships with his patients. That coupled with his love of surgery, led him to urology.

Dr. Wilkinson places supreme importance on explaining his diagnosis as precisely as he can, while educating his patients with options to make appropriate treatment decisions. “My job is to give patients all of the information,” he explains.

Dr. Wilkinson’s warm, friendly, lecture-free office makes his patients feel welcome. “I feel very fortunate to have such an experienced staff who really cares about our patients,” he says.

SWFL physicians Dr. Wilkinson and Dr. Rivera perform the only Peer to Peer Immersion Clinic with UroLift providing Physicians across the Nation the opportunity to learn the UroLift procedure at both ASC and in office/clinic setting. This is a great honor to be able to provide this educational component to Urology colleagues. To be the first in the Nation is a testament to the dedication of this team’s, and to AUI’s, continued advancement of cutting edge patient centered care.

The “Smoking” shellfish tower is the signature appetizer at the Naples location of Ocean Prime, and the perfect way for a party of four, six, or eight to begin their meal. Dry ice is concealed within to create a dramatic display and also keep the shellfish chilled. “This is a trophy presentation of our finest crustaceans,” says executive chef Vladimir Trivunovic. As pictured, it contains both East and West Coast oysters, North Atlantic lobster tail, Alaskan king crab legs, lump crabmeat, and colossal shrimp, but the dish is customizable, too, with no limitations or restrictions. “We go through a lot of shellfish, so the product is always fresh,” he says. “We have our own exclusive sources, and we pick the finest available on a daily basis.” (ocean-prime.com)

Left and below: There are nearly 50,000 possible Bloody Mary combos to try at The Catch of the Pelican.

BETTER BRUNCHING Ever wake up on a weekend morning with the desire to drink 48,000 Bloody Marys?

While you might not want to follow through, you could accomplish your goal and never taste the same Bloody Mary twice at The Catch of the Pelican at the Naples Grande Beach Resort. The seafood-centric restaurant’s build-your-own Bloody Mary bar offers a dizzying number of possible combinations:

• EIGHT RIM SPICES SUCH AS OLD BAY AND PERUVIAN CHILI CITRUS, SRIRACHA, AND GOCHUJANG SALTS

• YOUR CHOICE OF VODKA, TEQUILA, OR THE VIRGIN VERSION (A BLOODY SHAME) • HOMEMADE RED OR GREEN TOMATO MIX • 75 TOPPINGS, BOTH HOT AND COLD, INCLUDING EGG ROLLS, EMPANADAS, WATERMELON, AND BLOCKS OF GORGONZOLA

• MORE THAN 20 SAUCES SUCH AS TABASCO, CRYSTAL, AND LOUISIANA HOT SAUCES “The Bloody Mary bar defines who we are as a food and beverage program,” says Eddie Thomas, the resort’s director of food and beverage. “We aim to be ‘Grande’ in everything we do. We had the idea for a special brunch for over a year before we launched it last April, and we’ve already seen our business triple, both from hotel guests and locals.”

The Bloody Mary bar complements the mimosa bar at The Catch of the Pelican’s relaxed yet elegant dining room. A single Bloody Mary costs $14, and guests can opt for the bottomless option for $35—but the hotel won’t lose money unless you go for all 48,000. (naplesgrande.com/dining)

Naples’ nightlife standard was raised several notches in late January with the opening of The Club Room at Campiello. The 2,000-square-foot facility is devoted to elevated dining, superb beverages, and the coolest jazz in town.

“When customers walk in from Third Street South, I want them to be unable to tell if they are in New York, Paris, London, or Berlin,” says owner Richard D’Amico. The eclectic-meetssophisticated decor features a checkerboard floor, ceilings made from reclaimed barn siding, and a lounge area with a fireplace. The 80-seat room was designed to be a part of Campiello but differs in both its aesthetic and food and beverage program.

The menu boasts what D’Amico describes as upscale Milanese cuisine. Think

carpaccio, crudo, burrata, butter-poached tripletail, lamb osso buco, scallop gratin with sea urchin, and house-made pastas such as duck egg ravioli with black truffles. The libations are also unique, with specially developed drinks and a rotating cocktail for two. In addition to the Italian and California wines on Campiello’s list, The Club Room offers an extensive selection of French bottles as well.

Noted composer, producer, and jazz pianist Benny Weinbeck fronts the house group, accompanied by Emily Wade Adams, a Broadway veteran who performs throughout New York City with her jazz quintet, The Café Society. Music is live seven days a week, with dinner seatings and music sets from 5 to 6:30 p.m. and 8 to 8:30 p.m.

“The Club Room focuses on laid-back, mellow jazz with no dancing,” D’Amico says. “We wanted to take advantage of our in-house bar and culinary talent to create something truly special.” (campiellonaples. com/theclubroom)

NAPLES NOSH

When chef Andy Hyde was in culinary school, his mentor gave him some valuable advice: Cook professionally for at least 12 years and make all your mistakes before opening your own restaurant. Hyde listened and embarked on a culinary odyssey that included working for Gordon Ramsay, Thomas Keller, and Grant Achatz. Originally from Ghana, he lived in Germany before coming to Naples in 2014 to serve as executive chef at La Playa. He launched his catering company in 2016 and opened his first restaurant, Hyde N Chic, late last year.

“I fell in love with Naples right away,” Hyde says. “The climate is very similar to Ghana, and we have the same variety of tropical fruits and seafood here.”

Hyde specializes in what he calls “eclectic American cuisine” or “new immigrant cuisine.” He adds that, “In the U.S., immigrant cuisine has always been associated with French or Italian cooking. You never heard much about the food of Africa or South America. I use my background to blend those flavors into the broad palate of American culture.”

Despite only having capacity for 30, Hyde N Chic has an ambitious scope: Customers may dine à la carte or select a tasting menu of three, four, or five courses. Some of Hyde’s most popular dishes include his signature Chilean sea bass with a turmeric-ginger glaze, as well as diver scallops with root beer leaf and salsify.

Looking ahead, Hyde has no desire to expand or become a multi-unit operator. Instead, he’s focused on giving back, especially as it concerns passing on his knowledge to the next generation of chefs. He’s working with Naples High School on its on-the-job training program, with the goal of having 50 kids “who have learned their skill set from me and who understand the true nature of hospitality and teamwork.” (hydenchicrestaurant.com)

TASTE HAPPY HOUR

Wine shopping can be fun, but it doesn’t compare to receiving a perfectly chilled glass of sparkling or still wine from a vintage truck. Naplesbased Bubbles Mobile Bar is a new venture from the husband-and-wife team of Patti Genko and Scott Beddome, who hatched the idea while traveling in Europe.

“We saw them and thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great to have a mobile wine truck to set the tone for an event?’”

Genko recalls. “They’re functional, but they’re also a piece of sculpture. People are drawn to them as soon as they see them.”

The vehicles in question are a 1965 Innocenti Lambro 200 and a 1963 Piaggio Ape D. Both are equipped with taps that can dispense between 130-150 glasses of wine (or other libations such as beer and kombucha) from a 26-gallon keg. The trucks currently serve a still Napa Valley rosé and Eufloria, a sparkling white from Washington state. Florida law requires that Genko and Beddome work in tandem with venues that have catering licenses, so the trucks are becoming popular attractions at weddings and country club functions.

Genko thinks the future of Bubbles Mobile Bar is only limited by the availability of authentic vehicles. Golf tournaments are interested, and the couple is talking to wineries who want to use the trucks to brand their products. “People respond to the beauty of them,” she says. “I love to see the look on their faces when the trucks pull up.” (bubblesmobilebar.com)

OFF THE VINE

French Candor

Sonoma’s Vérité Winery ups the ante on Bordeaux-style vintages to CREATE A CATEGORY ALL ITS OWN

A

By Mark Spivak

s recently as a generation ago, a sharp difference between wine from the Old and New Worlds persisted: Bordeaux was predictably earthy and funky, while you could count on California reds to be fruit bombs. Each style had its partisans, and crossover was nearly nonexistent.

Pierre and Monique Seillan stepped into this culture when they arrived in Sonoma County in 1997. Pierre Seillan, a sixth-generation winemaker practicing his craft in Bordeaux, crossed the ocean at the request of the late Jess Jackson. The two men met several years earlier in France and became friends. Jackson knew that California needed to improve the quality of its Merlot and wanted to make a wine as good as the legendary Château Petrus; he had the deep pockets to make it happen, and Seillan boasted the talent.

On that first visit, Jackson loaded Seillan into a vehicle and gave him a tour of his mountain vineyards. For the Frenchman, who had a connection with the soil from early childhood, it was love at first sight.

“When I looked at the diversity of the vineyards, I knew I could create a wine with more complexity than Bordeaux,” he recalls. “But I didn’t want to make a copy of Bordeaux. I wanted to create a new category.”

Vérité (French for “truth”) sprang from these aspirations, and the winery debuted its first vintage in 1998. Today its three cuvées—La Muse, La Joie, and Le Désir—are nothing less than stunning. Nor are they cheap: The winery doesn’t sell directly to retail stores, and after-market prices range from $350-$400 per bottle. (“What makes Vérité great isn’t the price but the time that goes into it,” says Seillan. “Time is the greatest luxury today.”) In 2003, the experiment in cross-pollination came full

circle when Jackson and Seillan purchased Château Lassègue, a Grand Cru estate in St. Emilion.

Tasting the three Vérité wines together is an exercise in hedonism. The 2016 La Muse (93 percent Merlot, 5 percent Cabernet Franc, and 2 percent Malbec) exudes aromas of black cherries and fresh herbs; it sits rich and luxurious in the mouth, with an opulent texture full of black fruit flavors that echo on a long finish. The 2016 La Joie (84 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 11 percent Merlot, and 5 percent Petit Verdot) emanates elegant complexity, with spice and pinpoint acidity highlighting hints of blackberry and black plum. The 2016 Le Désir (82 percent Cabernet Franc, 12 percent Merlot, and 6 percent Malbec) tastes aggressive and spicy on entry but is followed by an unctuous midpalate and poised mouth feel.

They share many similarities, including high acidity that creates an appealing freshness. Since Vérité picks the grapes before they become overripe, the alcohol content tops out at around 14 percent, compared to 15 to 16 percent for many Napa reds. As a result, the wines are drinkable now and can also last two or three decades. By comparison, the 2016 Lassègue ($60) displays a strong vein of minerality from the limestone soil but at-

tains a surprisingly luscious core of ripe black cherry fruit.

No one lives forever, and the Seillans have their succession plan in place. Their daughter, Hélène, works alongside her father as assistant winemaker at Vérité, while their son, Nicolas, primarily focuses on Château Lassègue. With a farmer’s DNA in their genes, these two are ready to take both projects into the next generation. (veritewines.com) «

WARM-UP

Play DIRTY Not afraid of getting dirty? Then Muddy Princess might just be your ideal girls’ day out. Founded in South Africa in 2006, this 5K obstacle mud run has grown to include 45 events in cities across the United States in 2020. On April 5, the messy bash will host an event at Punta Gorda’s Redneck Mud Park.

“Our event is for princesses of all sizes, ages, and fitness levels,” says Yanira Villanueva, the race’s senior performance marketing manager. “We don’t focus on fastest times or competitions. We focus on fun.”

Participants run, walk, crawl, climb, slide, balance, and laugh their way through a course with more than 20 obstacles in varying degrees of difficulty (and muddiness) that test both body and mind. “Our goal is for women to challenge what they think they are capable of and for them to encourage other women to do the same. In the end, we want them to have a bonding, girl-power, ‘wow, I never thought I’d be able to do that!’ day.” (muddyprincess.com) —Liza Grant Smith

EXPERT ADVICE

HAVE IT ALL Part-time Neapolitan Meghan FitzGerald, an author and managing partner at an international investment firm, lays out the case for making personal health a priority in our career climb. FitzGerald, whose study on the health of executive women was featured in the Harvard Business Review, says women especially need to seek out employers that will partner with them to create a healthy work-life balance because doing so will be mutually beneficial. She explores these findings further in her new book Ascending Davos: A Career Journey from the Emergency Room to the Boardroom.

Here, she shares five tips to keep in mind when pursuing a a career and also prioritizing your health. —A.J. 1. Look for a portfolio of benefits.

WATER Wonders

BY HOWARD WALKER Naples Illustrated’s Automotive Editor

Taking a bath in seaweed can have therapeutic benefits. Just ask the Irish, who have been bathing with seaweed for hundreds of years. In scientific studies, seaweed has been shown to ease muscle aches, alleviate stress, and release toxins.

Inspired by this practice, The Spa at Shangri-La Springs is now offering seaweed-based Voya services and products, all of which contain seaweed hand-harvested off the western coast of Ireland.

“This European spa experience is designed to detoxify and nourish the skin, leaving it healthy and hydrated,” says Deborah Leible, manager of The Spa at Shangri-La Springs. “The products are created with sustainable practices to protect the delicate coastal environment.”

Voya treatments include facials, a revitalizing foot and leg ritual, a warm seaweed mud wrap, and an organic seaweed body buff. Treatments range from 45 to 90 minutes and cost $109-$189.

Owners and trainers Amanda Steinmann and Melissa Dunko say the studio’s platform is designed to combine high-intensity cardio and strength, stretch, and recovery in a strategic way that pushes members further than they ever imagined their body could go.

AGING WITH GRACE

The Mather Institute, which conducts research on senior living, has released the findings from the first two years of its Age Well Study. Compiled in partnership with Northwestern University, the study analyzes the impact living in life-plan communities has on the health and well-being of the seniors who call them home. Data is gathered through annual surveys taken by more than 5,700 residents from 122 life-plan communities across the country, including residents of Naples' Moorings Park, which now operates three campuses. Thus far, results indicate that residents’ behavioral traits may affect their ability to thrive in a senior living community. Below, we outline some key findings. (matherinstitute.com/agewellstudy) —A.J.

• More extroverted and open residents reported the highest levels of healthy behaviors.

• Residents with strong bonds in their communities have better overall health.

• Most residents felt sufficiently physically active. Those who didn’t cited health reasons.

And we strive to educate each and every patient on the facts. Did you know that at least 80% of American adults have gum inflammation/disease? Gum disease is linked with blood vessel disease, heart attacks and strokes. Gum disease and tooth loss also increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Likewise, if an individual has diabetes and bleeding gums, the risk of a premature death increases by 400 to 700 percent. Essentially, your mouth talks to your body and your body talks to your mouth.

To assess each patient’s oral health, we have an Oral DNA test available. This provides us with concrete evidence of the high-risk bacteria living in the mouth.

When these tests come back with high levels of high-risk bacteria, we have an array of methods we can use to fight these bacteria and make sure that they will never come back. Here at the office of Dr Mantikas, we strive for optimal dental fitness.

WEALTH

The BULL and the BEAR

Is the strong stock market of the last 10 years on the cusp of a major downturn?

By Judy Martel

Last year was remarkable in that it capped a decade-long running of the bulls in the stock market. Yet, despite indications of a strong economy, investors seem to be holding their collective breath in 2020, waiting for a shift toward the bears. It didn’t help that the market took a beating during the fourth quarter of 2018, dropping approximately 9 percent in December alone, and the first quarter of 2020 has been roiled by volatility associated with the coronavirus. But while only a crystal ball could accurately predict this year’s economic outcome, we asked Manoj Atolia, professor of economics and chair of the economics department at Florida State University, to weigh in on a few concerns plaguing investors.

According to Atolia, investors should put aside any fears that the sustained bull market is an indication that a recession is imminent. “If we look at how we’ve done over the past 30 years, not including December 2018 and the coronavirus this year, the market performance has not been out of trend,” he says. “Yes, we’ve enjoyed a lengthy period of market gains and there will be a recession at some point, but just because we’ve had a sustained bull run doesn’t mean a downturn will be equally long.”

Market retractions are healthy for the economy, he adds, and even if it drops as much as 20 percent or a bit more in a recession, “it’s not the

end of the world.” Investors also shouldn’t put too much stock in short-term events, such as the coronavirus, that might affect the market’s performance. Medium- and long-term trends, including the increasing wealth gap in the U.S., aging population concerns, climate change, and technology are much more relevant because the stock market is typically not meant to be a shortterm investment.

The Federal Reserve, which has become much more proactive than in the past, cut interest rates three times in 2019 in response to slowing economic growth—an action that helped to propel the performance of the stock market, Atolia says. The normal result of low rates is that investors look toward riskier assets for return on their investment, such as growth stocks instead of Treasury bonds. “This feeling of ‘the Fed has your back,’ whether right or wrong, makes investors more tolerant of risk,” he notes.

When investors are more open to taking risks, the market performs better. But, unless they are also willing to suffer potential significant downturns, a diversified portfolio that includes a variety of assets to reduce overall volatility is a better bet. While global geopolitical issues are adding pressure to the U.S. economy, Atolia doesn’t believe they will have a measurable impact on the stock market. “Do we have more uncertainty to-

day than we did 10 years ago? I don’t think so.”

The market is always pricing in uncertainty, he adds. “If the worst-case scenario doesn’t happen, then the markets will recover and do better. Most of the time the market pays investors for risk.”

The widening income and wealth gap in this country is one long-term economic trend Atolia is keeping an eye on because an inadequate supply of highly paid, skilled workers tamps down industrial advancements that drive company growth. Lower-income workers also lose out on the opportunity to gain wealth because they don’t have excess money to invest in the stock market, one of the traditional engines for wealth creation.

While the trade negotiations with China are somewhat settled for the time being, they hit manufacturing particularly hard. Some sectors, such as steel, that benefited from the trade war may lose some of their gains, but Atolia believes growth going forward will come from technology and biotechnology. In a good economy, growth companies are more willing to train employees, resulting in both higher pay and sustained growth.

“We see a big shift in how technology has affected production,” he says. “The IT boom and bust in 2000 built companies that have survived and are powerhouses, and that trend will continue over the next few decades.” «

her forever home. While working for Butler Telecom, the North Carolina native was assigned to a three-month stint at United Telephone Company of Florida on Fifth Avenue South. Three months turned into 40 years, and Zaiser and her husband, Len, an entrepreneur who has founded several manufacturing companies, have become prominent members of the community. Zaiser is devoted to numerous children’s causes and recently completed two terms on the board of the Boys & Girls Club of Collier County. She also has a special connection to the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, where her sons, Oliver and Alex, would often attend lectures to foster their love of science. —Caroline Ridgway

Her idea of R&R: Congregating on the beach with friends for small talk, laughs, and lounging.

1. Beloved vista: The breathtaking views by helicopter of the Grand Canyon.

2. Signature accessory: I love Tamara Comolli jewelry for her casual, effortless, and versatile designs. I have one pendant on a leather cord that I wear when I work out.

3. Guilty pleasure song from her teen years: “Diamond Girl” by Seals & Crofts. It reminds me of carefree North Carolina summer days at the pool with friends.

4. Favorite place to shop locally: I discovered Marissa Collections, which features styling from beach to couture, shortly after moving to Naples in 1980. I would model for the store in my spare time, then spend the money I earned on clothes.

5. Go-to restaurant meal: The lunch bar special at Sea Salt—chicken Milanese with onion and tomato salad drizzled with balsamic vinegar.

6. Dream car: I am driving my dream car—a 2019 silver Porsche Panamera Turbo that I always drive in the sport mode because I love listening to the engine.

7. Last great read: Educated by Tara Westover. It was exhausting, disturbing, and inspirational.

8. Fitness routine: My weekday morning routine involves weight training followed by spinning. On weekends, a group of us walks 4 miles then goes to the pool for some “therapeutic” aerobics.

9. Cause she’s passionate about: After-school and summer programs for children. Children need a safe place to learn and grow after school, and to know that someone cares. These programs change lives.
