A HEALTHIER YOU

The Benefits of Testosterone Replacement at NexLevel Labs in

BY AARIKA COPELAND

t NexLevel Labs, they believe everyone deserves to feel vibrant, healthy, and empowered in their daily lives. Their mission is to help the men and women of Tulsa achieve just that through expert hormone replacement therapy (HRT), focusing specially on testosterone optimization. Understanding that each individual’s hormonal needs are unique, NexLevel Labs offers personalized treatment plans designed to promote vitality, wellbeing, and longevity.

The Transformative Power of Balanced Hormones When people think about hormone therapy, they often focus on the physical benefits like increased libido or muscle mass. But, as Serena Munoz, their skilled nurse practitioner, explains, the advantages go far beyond the obvious. “Balancing hormones can bring mental clarity and focus to your work, release anger and tension from daily tasks, eliminate insomnia, and more,” she shared. “It’s a whole-body experience.” Imagine waking up each day feeling as energetic and motivated as you did in your 20s. For many, this might sound like a distant memory, but with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), it’s possible to reclaim that youthful vitality. Serena herself has experienced this transformation firsthand. “Personally, using TRT has benefited me so much in my life. I’m back to feeling like I was in my 20s—less edgy, less worried. It brings you back to where you were in your prime.”

A Path to Mental and Emotional Wellness Balanced hormones contribute to resilience in all aspects of life—mentally, emotionally, and physically. When your hormones are in harmony, you’re better equipped to handle stress, make decisions, and maintain a positive outlook on life. This mental clarity and emotional stability can be just as transformative as the physical changes, helping you to thrive in both your personal and professional life. For many, TRT has been a game-changer. Serena recalled moments in her practice that underscore the profound impact of hormone therapy. “I’ve had women weep in my office because they feel like they’re finally being heard. I’ve had men tell me about the significant difference it has made in their lives, and they send their friends, their wives, their family members our way.” At NexLevel Labs, they’re proud to say, “We don’t get unsatisfied people.” An Accessible Path to Transformation Starting your journey with TRT at NexLevel Labs is both simple and affordable. For just $40 a week, you can begin your transformation, which includes an office visit and injection. Alternatively, you can choose to get your injection or cream from your preferred pharmacy for at-home use. If absorption isn’t an issue, creams can be just as effective as injections. They strive to make their services accessible and convenient by accepting most major insurances, minimal wait times, welcome walk-ins, and offer in-house lab work with results ready in just a

Patients can also receive well known IV-therapies, including NAD+drip and NAD+shot options, Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide; as well as B-12 shots. Value News Magazine & Values Inc. photo, September 2024.

Therapy Tulsa week. If you’re transferring from another clinic or have recent lab results, they can often start your treatment the same day. Their goal is to eliminate unnecessary steps, so you can start feeling better as quickly as possible. Personalized Care Tailored to You NexLevel Labs does not believe in a one-sizefits-all approach. “We start with the basics, we correct the imbalance,” Serena emphasized. “It’s about chasing symptoms, not numbers. 100% personalized care because people are unique.” Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that you receive the right level of care for your body’s unique requirements. Hormonal Health for Everyone Testosterone isn’t just important for men—women also benefit from maintaining healthy levels of this vital hormone. For women, testosterone optimization can aid in a multitude of ways, from improving energy levels to enhancing mental clarity. And even if full TRT isn’t the right choice, they offer other hormone therapies like estrogen and progesterone, which can help with issues like insomnia, PMS symptoms, and poor sleep quality. Your Next Step to a Healthier Life Once you start TRT, one of the best lifestyle choices you can make is to incorporate moderate exercise into your routine. “Exercise amplifies the benefits of TRT, helping with everything from weight loss to combating depression,” she said, “and as your motivation and energy levels improve, you’ll find it easier to stay active and enjoy the rewards of a healthier, more fulfilling life.” At NexLevel Labs supports you every step of the way. Your journey to a better you starts with a simple step—contact them today to discover how TRT can transform your life, or explore their online blog to learn more!

Witness History During

OVERNIGHT AT THE MUSEUM Be transported back into the time of Will Rogers during this all-nighter of dinner, games, and hands-on experiences.

BY AARIKA COPELAND

re you ready for an unforgettable adventure this Fall Break? The Will Rogers Memorial Museum is hosting a unique event that promises fun, learning, and a dash of history. Introducing “Overnight at the Museum,” an activity-filled sleepover that offers children and their guardians a chance to explore the museum like never before. Guest arrival kicks off on Friday, October 18, at 6 p.m. with a delicious supper from Ike’s Chili – a favorite of Will Rogers himself. From the moment you step in, the evening is packed with engaging activities. Imagine participating in Cowboy Games that whisk you back to the 19th century with sack races, candle making, and butter churning. It’s a hands-on experience that brings history to life, as Bryan Beard, the Education Coordinator, shares, “It teaches the kids what it was like in Will’s day. It’s a humbling and fun experience.” Night At The Museum Movies The evening doesn’t stop there. As night falls, enjoy the crisp evening air with a campfire, complete with s’mores and a cowboy sing-a-long. Gather around to watch “Night at the Museum” movies in the Will Rogers Theatre along with Mario Kart Races, or participate in glow-in-thedark activities and coloring stations. The museum’s children play area will also be open for exploration. Behind-The-Scenes Tour One of the event’s highlights is a special behind-the-scenes tour. Rachel O’Donnell, a key organizer, excitedly mentions, “Guests will have a guided tour inside Will Rogers’ tomb and see artifacts in our vault room, a special event since it is always closed to the public.” This exclusive access offers a

rare glimpse into the life and times of the legendary Will Rogers. Participants are encouraged to bring their favorite sleeping items like blankets, pillows, sleeping bags, and inflatable air mattresses. With plenty of outlets available, you can ensure a comfortable night’s sleep wherever you choose to set up camp within the museum. The adventure wraps up the next morning with a hearty traditional cowboy breakfast featuring biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs, and sausage. It’s a perfect way to end the event, leaving everyone with full stomachs and cherished memories. Event Registration This special event is designed for children aged 5-12, accompanied by one adult per family. With limited space available, registration is required. The cost is $45 per person or $35 for museum members, covering both adults and children. Be sure to sign up soon, as this unique experience is bound to fill up quickly. You can register online at www.willrogers.com/ overnight-at-the-museum. Located at 1720 W. Will Rogers Blvd. in Claremore, the Will Rogers Memorial Museum is a division of the Oklahoma Historical Society. Their mission is to collect, preserve, and share the history and culture of Oklahoma and its people. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to make history come alive for you and your family at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum.

“THE ADDAMS FAMILY” February 20, 2025

A comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, THE ADDAMS FAMILY is the magnificently macabre hit musical featuring everyone’s favorite creepy, kooky characters. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. A man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. On the heels of “Wednesday”, the third most-watched show on Netflix of all time, Big League Productions, Inc. presents THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a devilishly delightful musical comedy based on the bizarre and beloved characters by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams.

EVERYTHING INSURANCE BY AARIKA COPELAND

urning 65 is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with some important decisions, especially for your healthcare. As you approach this new chapter, it’s crucial to understand the ins and outs of Medicare enrollment. At Everything Insurance Group in Tulsa, they’re there to guide you through every step, making sure you’re fully prepared and confident in your choices.

Alex and Abrina Tarasenko owners of Everything Insurance Group. Value News Magazine & Values Inc. photo, Sept. 2024.

Turning 65 - What to Do So, what should you know about Medicare enrollment? First things first—Medicare Part B isn’t automatically given to you. That means you’ll need to apply, and it’s best to start the process at least three months before your 65th birthday. Why the early start? Medicare offers a variety of plans, and it’s important to find the one that fits your specific needs based on your current prescriptions and doctors. “By starting early, you’ll have ample time to sit down, review your options, and make an informed decision without feeling pressured,” owner Abrina Tarasenko said. “One thing we always emphasize is not trying to navigate this process on your own. We have annual training and deep knowledge of Oklahoma’s insurance landscape, meaning we understand the state laws and regulations that might affect your choices,” co-owner Alex Tarasenko said. Working with a local expert ensures that your plan is tailored to the local market—something a non-local agent might not provide. If you’re planning to work past 65 and continue with your employer-sponsored health coverage, it’s still important to plan. If you know your retirement date, starting the Medicare application process three months before retiring will help you avoid unnecessary penalties. Remember, you must have a coverage— whether it’s through your employer or Medicare—within 63 days after your Medicare effective date, which is typically the first of your birthday month. For veterans, it’s important to know that VA or tribal coverage isn’t considered creditable coverage for Medicare. If you decide to enroll in Medicare later, you could face penalties. “There are specific plans designed for veterans that work with the VA, Tricare for Life, or Tribal clinics, which can help reduce your Part B premium and provide the benefits you need,” Alex said. Last, if you’re still employed and your job offers credible

Some plans are removing benefits, adding deductibles, or no longer covering certain prescriptions. “This year’s changes are the most significant we’ve seen making it more important than ever to verify that your plan still meets your needs,” he said. Remember, to get a Medicare plan that covers medical expenses, you must have Part B. If you don’t have Part B yet, they can assist with the application process to ensure you’re covered. There are many people who qualify for state subsidies to help pay for their Part B premium but aren’t aware of it. “Oklahoma has Alex Tarasenko helps clients navigate the complex world of Medicare.

he buzz is electric as the Rogers County Fair gears up to celebrate its 110th year! This beloved event, a cornerstone of the Claremore community, beautifully blends timeless traditions with exciting new attractions, drawing in visitors from near and far. From thrilling carnival rides to impressive livestock shows, local vendor treasures to toe-tapping live entertainment, the Rogers County Fair has something to delight everyone. “The fair benefits the whole county but it’s a pivotal event for local students,” event coordinator Wendy Woody. “It’s a time when the year-long efforts of our FFA and 4-H students get to showcase their achievements.” “We’ve had a lot of growth. Our numbers have grown from 24,000 visitors to nearly 29,000 over the course of the weekend.” Wendy continues, “We also have more students involved with working exhibits.” Families learn, grow, and celebrate their children’s achievements together, and on Monday night, the Rogers County Premium Sale will spotlight 89 winners auctioning their prize-winning animals for donations from the highest bidders. The earnings will be reinvested into the students’ upcoming projects. “It’s a family friendly event that brings our community together.” Also admire many entries from passionate enthusiasts in many traditional fair categories.

Ranch or Countryside Ranch and farm homes often stick to the classic black and white color scheme, though the last look can depend heavily on the existing brickwork. These traditional colors offer a clean, crisp appearance that suits the rural setting perfectly.

One of the standout choices is shake shingles and add a pop of color with your siding and trim.

WILL ROGERS DAYS A THREE-DAY TRIBUTE TO A CHEROKEE LEGEND

BY AARIKA COPELAND

The legacy of Will Rogers, the Cherokee cowboy, philosopher, and movie actor, continues to shine as the city of Claremore, Oklahoma, prepares to host the annual Will Rogers Days. From November 2 through November 5, 2024, a series of events will celebrate the life and contributions of one of America’s most beloved entertainers. This year’s festivities are special as they coincide with the 125th anniversary of the Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club, an organization closely tied to Will Rogers and his heritage. Pocahontas Spirit - 125th Anniversary Gala: A Historic Milestone Kicking off the celebrations, the Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club will host the Pocahontas Spirit - 125th Anniversary Gala on November 1, 2024, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. This elegant evening event marks not only the beginning of Will Rogers Days but also the club’s 125th anniversary. Founded in 1899 by young Cherokee women from the Oowala neighborhood, the Pocahontas Club has grown into a nationally recognized institution dedicated

to preserving Cherokee culture and passing down a legacy of pride and knowledge to future generations. “Ollie Starr, a longtime member, explained the significance of the event: ‘It’s about celebrating our past while carrying our history forward into the future.” Attendees of this coveted, ticketed event can look forward to an inspiring keynote address by Stacy Leeds, the first Native American female dean and a prominent Indian law trailblazer. Leeds, who teaches at Arizona State University’s law school, will speak on the significant impact Cherokee women have had throughout history, highlighting their trailblazing influence. Adding to the evening’s allure, Will Roberts, the award-winning actor and “Modern Day Will Rogers,” will perform a special tribute to Will Rogers. Known for his remarkable rope tricks, Roberts’ performance will be a crowd-pleaser. Guests will also enjoy live music and a plated dinner while members of the Pocahontas Club, dressed in traditional Cherokee attire, add to the event’s authenticity and charm.

ELITE SERVICE HEATING AND AIR

ONE NAME IN BROKEN ARROW SAYS IT ALL

BY AARIKA COPELAND

hen it comes to your home’s heating and cooling needs, the name Elite Service Heating and Air says it all. From air conditioning and geothermal systems to ductless setups and energy reduction solutions, they’re here to ensure your home remains comfortable year-round. “We’ve built a reputation for providing top-notch service with honesty and integrity,” owner Joel Kinsch said. Why Choose Elite Service? Elite Service prides itself on delivering the most honest and ethical quotes and services to their local clients. They understand that prices have risen across the board in recent years, making it difficult to manage unexpected expenses. That’s why they offer flexible financing options, helping to ease the financial burden for maintaining or upgrading your heating and cooling systems. One challenge they face today is the scarcity of parts. Post-COVID, local warehouses rarely stock materials as they used to, meaning they sometimes spend an entire day sourcing parts for a job. However,

they are committed to doing the job right, even if it takes extra time. “If something isn’t up to our standards, we make it right,” Kinsch said. This dedication to quality is one reason, “we’ve never been thrown off a job”. A Personal Approach to Your Heating & Cooling Needs The marketplace in Tulsa has changed significantly over the past decade, with large consolidators buying up many businesses. That’s why it’s important to call around and get pricing from various companies. But when you choose Elite Service, you’re choosing a local company with deep roots in the community, known for its reliability and expertise. One story that stands out to Kinsch is when we helped an older gentleman whose furnace kept tripping in the dead of winter. “He had already had eight different companies come out to fix the problem, without success. Within ten minutes, we pinpointed the issue and had it resolved the next day. The following week, he called us to say he had had no issues since.” It’s moments like these that define their commitment to getting the job done right. Comprehensive Care for Your Home’s Systems They don’t believe in hard-selling their services. Instead, “we focus on providing

options that fit within your budget and meet your home’s specific needs,” he said. Whether it’s a new installation or an upgrade, they take a comprehensive approach, examining everything from the duct system to the overall efficiency of your setup. Their annual maintenance program reduces your operating costs, extend the life of your systems, and minimize the need for repairs. They visit twice a year—once in the spring to ensure your air conditioning is ready for the heat, and once in the winter to check your furnace, gas pressures, and flows. By catching potential issues before they become problems, they help ensure your system operates as it should throughout the year. Specialized Expertise “We’ve also become known for our work with Tulsa’s animal clinics, designing systems that meet their unique challenges,” he said. It’s a specialized area that requires precision and expertise—qualities they bring to every job they undertake. Elite Service Heating and Air is your partner in home comfort, dedicated to making sure every system they touch operates at its best. When you’re ready for service you can trust, call them!
