NEW YORK CITY SPINE MORRISTOWN, NJ OFFICE Why are you affiliated with several different hospitals and surgery centers?

What are the advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery?

Taking care of the spine is frequently a team related approach. By working at several different institutions, I have the luxury of working with and referring my patients to the best pain doctors, therapists, chiropractors, medical doctors, etc. A patient can be assured that our affiliated care givers have been chosen because they’re the best and not because of their affiliations or some other political reason.

• less pain • shorter hospital stays • frequently done as outpatient • less blood loss • faster recovery to normal • less scar tissue • less tissue damage

How did you develop a WorldRenowned reputation?

I’ve always worked hard to be the best at what I do and have trained at the top spine surgery institutions in the world. That commitment didn’t end after a decade at Harvard, but continues today where I regularly travel to work with the best spine surgeons around the world.

This allows me to constantly perfect my skills and knowledge. My commitment to excellence has brought me professional athletes, celebrities, political leaders and referrals from doctors around the world. My reputation has developed after 2 decades of excellent patient outcomes.

If Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery is so much better than open surgery, why doesn’t everyone do it?

To master the many different Minimally Invasive Techniques, it takes years of commitment to courses, lab work and time away from your practice. Many physicians don’t have the time to learn these techniques. It’s also important to note that some procedures can’t be done through less invasive approaches and you want to know that your surgeon is well trained in the different options.

You can be assured at New York City Spine Surgery PLLC that our commitment is always being the best and most educated in these areas.

AS YOU ENJOY THE LAST WEEKS OF SUMMER, KEEP IN MIND that the upcoming change of seasons brings a time for renewal. If you have let healthy habits “slide” these past few months—skipped workouts, indulged in too many desserts—fall is a perfect time to get back on track.

Autumn, for example, is a wonderful time to exercise outdoors and enjoy the cooler temperatures. If knee pain is limiting your ability to live life to the fullest, perhaps it is time to visit the Joint Institute at Saint Barnabas Medical Center where total knee replacement surgery is performed, offering “custom” implants that exactly match the size and shape of a person’s knee. The benefits for the patient are less pain and a knee that feels much more natural. Read about the groundbreaking technology on page 40.

Members of the community with Parkinson’s disease are exercising three times a week as part of a new program offered

by Saint Barnabas Medical Center at the JCC MetroWest. These classes help participants build strength and improve balance, both of which are impacted by this debilitating neuromuscular disease.

Turn to page 44 to learn more about this unique fitness and support program.

Being overweight puts many limitations on people with diabetes, which is why we are pleased that the American Diabetes Association is now recommending weight-loss surgery as a treatment option for certain people with diabetes. Not only will bariatric surgery help diabetics lose weight, but it also will “cure” the disease in many cases. Read more about this life-changing procedure on page 36.

Excess weight may also have the unfortunate side effect of impairing sleep, and it can lead to disorders like sleep apnea, which increases one’s risk of stroke and heart disease. But sleep apnea is a treatable medical condition, and the Saint Barnabas Center for Sleep Disorders can recommend technology or surgical procedures to reduce its impact. Turn to page 38 for more information about the complicated relationship between body weight and sleep.

Also in the magazine you will find articles about CyberKnife, a revolutionary radiation treatment for the elimination of tumors (page 42) and the power of art therapy in cancer treatment (page 39). All of these articles reflect Saint Barnabas Medical Center’s unwavering commitment to improving the health and well-being of our community. We hope you enjoy reading them, and the many other articles, in this issue of Morris/Essex Health & Life.

EVERY NOW AND THEN I daydream about moving to a tropical paradise— most likely when I’m staring at a foot of snow in my driveway! But one thing New Jersey has that tropical destinations can only envy is its four distinct, delightful seasons. For us, the balmy weather August brings each year is something to celebrate —and that’s exactly what we do in this “outdoors” issue.

Read on page 26 about where to go hiking, biking, boating or bird-watching and where to play a round of golf in our area. (Did you know that our very own Mills Reservation County Park is one of the best spots in the state to observe the migration of warblers and hawks?)

Refer to our article on page 30 about transforming your backyard into an outdoor oasis. And check out page 74 for a lineup of fun, entertaining outdoor events—a carnival, a country fair, a classic car show and much more.

What else will you find in this issue of Morris/Essex Health & Life? We take you on an armchair tour of St. Vincent (page 78), present a trio of vibrant seasonal recipes (page 58), show you how to make a refreshing rosé sangria (page 56) and share the many benefits of one of my favorite healthy snacks—edamame (page 54).

There’s more to enjoy in this issue, as you’ll discover.

As for me, I’m stepping outside for a bit. It’s simply too lovely not to. Enjoy!

Paid Advertisement A Bronx Tale at Paper Mill Playhouse, the Veteran’s Memorial at High Point State Park, Guided Tours at the Morris Museum and Brunch at The Jefferson House Restaurant “There are so many things to see and do around here,” begins Janeth. “We are just getting started.”

Adds her friend and Morris Museum neighbor, Tillie, “Some of our favorite outings so far – A Bronx Tale at Paper Mill Playhouse, the Veteran’s Memorial at High Point State Park, guided tours at the Morris Museum and brunch at The Jefferson House Restaurant. The waterfront view and the live music made that a great day.”

“Many residents are very connected to the area,” explains Sarah Martin, Vibrant Living Director. “The bus is always full and residents wear us out.

“Liberty Science Center is an outing we are looking forward to later this month,” she added.

Making a Difference in the Lives of Others Is Important to Us

“It is so gratifying to make a difference in the lives of these animals,” explains Doris. “Giving back is meaningful and makes us feel great.”

By combining peanut butter, applesauce, chicken broth and f lour, residents carefully mix, roll, cut and bake nutritious dog biscuits.

They then deliver the homemade treats – shaped like dogs, dog houses, dog bones and dog paws – to Eleventh Hour Rescue, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing and caring for unwanted dogs and cats. There they interact, feed and play with the animals.

Doris invites you to give what you can to Eleventh Hour Rescue by visiting their website at www. ehrdogs.org.

Pursuing passions and making a difference in the community is important to us.

REVIEWS

TIPS

Berry season may be coming to an end, but there’s a plethora of other fresh produce just waiting to be picked at farms in and around Morris and Essex counties. Here’s a list of spots where “pickyour-own” is a popular and sometimes preferred harvest method.

Take the entire family to Alstede Farms (1 Alstede Farms Ln., Chester, 908.879.7189; alstedefarms.com) for a full day of fruit and vegetable harvesting. Blackberries, peaches, nectarines and cantaloupe are in season through mid-September, while traditional autumn produce—apples, Asian pears, pumpkins—will be ripe for the picking from the start of fall through November. Admission is $5 during the week and $6.99 on weekends, and you pay for your fruits and veggies per pound.

For your next home-cooked meal, bring back an assortment of fresh veggies from Bader Farm (290 Change Bridge Rd., Pine Brook, 973.227.0294; baderfarms .com). Pick-your-own crops include acorn and butternut squash, broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, eggplant, sweet and hot peppers, tomatoes and zucchini. Looking for fall decorations? The farm has plenty

TRENDS

of hay bales, cornstalks, pumpkins and gourds for sale too.

If carving jack-o-lanterns is on your autumn “to do” list, head to Hamilton Farms (130 Old Denville Rd., Boonton Township, 973.334.6528; hamiltonfarms. com) and take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch. (Rides start the last weekend of September.) Afterward, navigate the hay maze and stop by the market, where you’ll find a great selection of apples, homemade pies and donuts, and fresh apple cider.

Start a new fall tradition by picking apples at Ripple Hill Farm (181 Mountain Rd., Basking Ridge, 908.647.1300; ripplehillfarm.com). Pick-you-own apple days take place each Sunday beginning in September—McIntosh and Gala varieties start the season. Other options later in the season include Candy Crisp, Empire, Fuji, Jersey Mac and Macoun.

Peach picking wraps up at the end of August at Hillview Farms (223 Meyersville Rd., Gillette, 908.647.0957; hillviewfarmnj .com), but you can pick your own apples starting in September and pumpkins beginning in October. Enjoy a tractor ride to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch.

LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE Do you love where you live? Kinnelon resident Heather McManus wants to make sure that you do, and she has plenty of ideas on how you can transform an ordinary house into your dream home. McManus, an associate member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and creative director of Artistry Interiors, published Love Where You Live: Dream Homes Made Real ($18.95), an 88-page fullcolor book that tells her clients’ stories—from the beginning of their home redesign projects to final reveal of the completed works.

“Each chapter is about one particular client, so

the book offers many different points of view—from the retired and downsizing folks to the big family with lots of pets who move into a much larger home,” says McManus. “It’s also a peek into the process of working with an interior designer.”

If you’re into DIY projects or just looking for ideas, McManus will give you free expert advice through her Artistry Interiors website (artistry-interiors.com).

Sign up to receive one video a day for 30 days and learn how to shop for furniture, where to find one-of-a-kind pieces, how to “dress” your windows, whether reupholstering is right for you and more.

“They are all easy to implement, so anyone can do them,” she says.

LOCAL BUZZ

The Culinary Corner PLUM PICK

If you haven’t visited Plum on Park recently, it’s time to return to the popular Montclair restaurant housed in a 1920s streetcar diner. For starters, owner Natalie Colledge has added a full dinner menu—try the pork chop Milanese, zucchini “spaghetti” or mussels and fries with sautéed chorizo—to go along with the popular breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch offerings.

The cozy restaurant is still a haven for folks following a gluten-free diet, and now the dessert menu is safe for those with food sensitivities too. All of the sweet treats are made at and brought over from Colledge’s Plum Bakery on Glenridge Avenue. As Marie Antoinette once said: Let them eat cake!

BETTER BEACH CUISINE

If you’re craving the flavor of the Jersey Shore (think Surf Taco) but want to avoid going down the Shore to get it, head over to Fat Fish Taco in Caldwell, a “coastalinspired Mexican restaurant with a laidback vibe.”

Fat Fish offers a variety of tacos, burritos, salads and sandwiches, including varieties filled with Buffalo shrimp tempura, grilled mahi or battered cod.

Take your food to the counter for a quick bite or have it served in the dining room for a sit-down meal. Since the joint is BYO, you can enjoy a glass of red or white while you dine.

Fat Fish Taco, 291 Bloomfield Ave., Caldwell, 973.228.6825; fatfishtaco.com

THEY HAVE A LOT IN COMMON

You’ll feel like part of the family when you dine at Common Lot in Millburn, which serves up modern American cuisine using fresh, seasonal ingredients, local produce and plenty of TLC. The husband-and-wife owners, Ehren and Nadine Ryan, embrace the convivial approach—there’s even a communal table in the dining room—that’s enhanced by the elegant yet unpretentious décor and open kitchen.

And how’s the food? The menu is inspired by Ehren’s travels—he’s an Australian chef who trained at Michelin-starred restaurants all over the world—and it’s filled with small and large plates as well as main courses that are meant to be shared by two people. Meat lovers will savor the in-house dry-aged rib eye and 12-hour braised lamb shoulder.

Experience Italy

Not your ordinary book club

Once upon a time, traditional book clubs met in small groups to discuss the plots and twists of their latest reads. But the Green Brook Country Club’s version has taken the concept a step further, so much that New York Times best-selling author Erik Larson once called its gatherings and 400-plus membership a “book mob.” In fact, a meeting in mid-July that drew 350 attendees was considered a “small” event, says Marlene Cohen, who founded the club in 2005.

So what’s the secret to their success? First, it’s open to anyone—country club membership is not a requirement. The second key is persistence to find and invite their guest authors. In addition to Larson, the club has attracted best-selling writers like Mitch Albom, Mary Higgins Clark, Amy Tan and actor Robert Wagner, among others, to the events. Celebrated writers Andrew Gross and Kristin Hannah have scheduled appearances in September. (Reservations for Hannah’s date are fully booked.)

The book reviews draw the most visitors—they attract people from as far as New York City, Philadelphia and Connecticut, Cohen says—but the club also hosts luncheons and other social gatherings.

For more information about the book club, visit greenbrookcc.org.

CLOSE TO HOME Head to a local restaurant if the taste of Italy is what you crave, but if you’re looking for an authentic, immersive Italian experience, visit Healthy ItaliaLa Buona Cucina in Madison, where you can purchase direct-from-theboot products, take a cooking class and even learn the language.

“Our language classes are for people who are taking a trip to Italy and want to know some basics as well as for people who have always just wanted to learn Italian,” says Lisa Sanderson, marketing director.

Cooking classes and demonstrations are also popular, and they’re a fun option for folks celebrating birthdays, bachelorette parties, bridal showers and ladies’ night events, according to Sanderson.

The biggest hit, however, is Healthy Italia’s market, which has been creating a buzz since opening in the spring. All products sold in the family-owned shop—pastas and rice, sauces, jams, truffle products, olive oils—are imported from various regions of Italy. Want fresh burrata or mozzarella? Deliveries arrive from Italy every Thursday.

DEAN’S

DEBUTS IN CHESTER Here’s good news for Morris and Essex residents who love healthy eating: Dean’s Natural Food Market has moved into the Streets of Chester Shopping Center.

The family-owned food store opened its first location in Ocean Township in 1996, pledging to offer a mix of natural and organic products with a non-GMO policy. Twenty years later, Dean’s has kept its promise and now operates four stores throughout the state.

You’ll find everything in the new Chester store that Dean’s shoppers have grown to love and expect—100 percent organic produce, organic juice and smoothie bar, gluten-free items, and healthy prepared foods like sandwiches and hot entrees.

Major medical groups now endorse bariatric surgery to treat the disease.

“Within a week or so of surgery, the patient’s diabetes is gone.”

—Michael Bilof, M.D.

istock

If you’re not the type of person who reads medical journals, you probably missed the groundbreaking June 2016 issue of Diabetes Care, the American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) most important publication. For the first time ever, the ADA, along with 44 other international medical organizations, is “urging that metabolic surgery be recommended or considered as a treatment option for certain categories of people with diabetes, including people who are mildly obese and fail to respond to conventional treatment.”

In other words, weight-loss surgery is now considered a viable treatment option for some people with Michael Bilof, M.D. diabetes. “This is big,” says Michael Bilof, M.D., section chief for bariatric surgery at Saint Barnabas Medical Center.

One of the groups endorsing this change is the Endocrine Society, which has long been opposed to using surgery, he notes. “Endocrinologists are the doctors who typically treat diabetics, and they just came out with a position statement reversing that,” he says. “Surgeons have been advocating for this for a number of years, and for the endocrinologists to endorse this approach is significant.”

Bariatric surgeons, like Dr. Bilof, have been seeing the remarkable effects surgery has on diabetes for some time. “I was convinced a long time ago,” he says.

“Within a week or so of surgery, the patient’s diabetes is gone.” He mentions one of his patients, who had battled diabetes for upwards of 15 years. “She had

gastric bypass surgery four years ago and was off insulin within days and off her pills in a week or two,” he says. “That is pretty compelling, especially when you see that day after day.”

Other groups, however, wanted more scientific evidence, and now they have it, Dr. Bilof says. One of the more convincing studies, called STAMPEDE (an acronym for Surgical Therapy and Medications Potentially Eradicate Diabetes Efficiently) and carried out at the Cleveland Clinic, “clearly showed that surgery was far superior, with very acceptable complication rates,” he says. (See sidebar.)

“All surgery has risks, that is true, but we have shown that we can do it quite safely, with very low complication rates and benefits that far outweigh the risks.”

According to the new guidelines, metabolic surgery should be recommended to treat type 2 diabetes in patients with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 40, as well as in those with a BMI between 35 and 39.9 when hyperglycemia is inadequately controlled by lifestyle and medical therapy. It should also be considered for patients with type 2 diabetes who have a BMI between 30 and 34.9 if hyperglycemia is inadequately controlled.

But surgery to treat diabetes is not for everyone, Dr. Bilof says. “If you meet the BMI criteria and you are diabetic, you are eligible, but that doesn’t mean all should have it.

But it should be considered for all, and a significant percentage of those patients would benefit.”

How does surgery seemingly “cure” diabetes—even before the patient has lost a significant amount of weight? “We don’t know the mechanism yet, so there is no real answer. But clearly something is happening metabolically that goes beyond straight weight loss. Somehow that translates to resolution of diabetes,

and that’s what is amazing. It does not just improve—it usually goes away.”

There are some patients who do see a recurrence of diabetes, he says. “But when it does recur it is invariably less aggressive and more easily controlled, with just pills instead of insulin shots,” he says.

Dr. Bilof hopes that, in light of the recent statement by the ADA and other groups, primary care doctors and other physicians will begin referring more of their diabetes patients to surgeons to discuss their options.

A STAMPEDE of good results The final report from the STAMPEDE trial shows that bariatric surgery’s beneficial effects on blood glucose control in mild and moderately obese patients with type 2 diabetes may persist for up to five years, with the advantage over diabetes medications-only approach widening over time. The five-year follow-up also reported that: n More than 88 percent of gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy patients maintained healthy blood glucose levels without the use of insulin. n 29 percent of gastric bypass patients and 23 percent of sleeve gastrectomy patients achieved and maintained normal blood glucose levels, compared to just 5 percent of those on medication alone. n Weight loss was significantly greater with gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy than with medications and was the primary driver for glucose control.

Too much weight, too little sleep Being overweight is a risk factor for sleep apnea.

We Americans, by and large, are tired. Most of us don’t get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep a night. But too many Americans don’t realize their poor sleep may be caused by a medical condition like sleep apnea, a common disorder that causes your breathing to stop or get very shallow for a few seconds or minutes and may occur 30 times or more an hour. Kristin Fless, M.D., a pulmonary and sleep medicine specialist with The Center for Sleep Disorders at Saint Barnabas Medical Center, says that about 10 percent of the population has been diagnosed with sleep apnea. “But that could be grossly underestimated, because having a body mass index (BMI) over 25 is a risk factor, and an estimated 65 percent of Americans have a BMI over 30,” she says.

Indeed, body weight and sleep have a complicated relationship. Excess weight may impair sleep, and too little sleep in turn affects weight. “A few days of sleep deprivation can change the way the body responds to food,” Dr. Fless says. “We get a response that mimics how diabetics respond to

glucose. We also know that patients who are treated for sleep apnea have a decrease in abdominal fat, which is the metabolically active fat. This is probably related to insulin resistance, which Kristin Fless, M.D. can be seen with that sleep deprivation.”

Sleep apnea and other sleep disorders may cause even more serious problems. “If not treated, people with sleep apnea have eight times the risk of mortality of those without the condition,” she says. “Sleep apnea increases the risk for stroke, heart disease and motor vehicle mortality. That’s the danger if people don’t recognize that their fatigue could be a sign of a treatable medical problem.”

Treatable is the operative word.

The most common treatment for sleep apnea is called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). A CPAP device pumps air under pressure through a face mask and into the airway of the lungs, keeping the windpipe open during sleep. Other treatments include using a customized mouthpiece to hold the lower jaw and tongue forward to keep the airway open. “Newer technologies include a pacemaker-like device that stimulates the upper airway muscles,” Dr. Fless says. In some rare instances, surgery may be needed to remove oversized tonsils or other soft tissues.

A sleep study is the best way to diagnose a sleep disorder, and patients have the option of conducting a study in their home rather than in a sleep lab. “We now have very good technology for home sleep studies with results comparable to lab studies,” she says. “We show people how to use the equipment, and they take it home and bring it back to the lab the next day.”

The art of healing

Creative outlets help patients cope with cancer treatment.

Diane Genco calls her second bout with breast cancer “earth shattering.”

Genco, 64, of Westfield, suffered a recurrence in October 2014 after a mastectomy in 2010. She hadn’t needed chemotherapy the first time, but required four rounds of chemotherapy at Saint Barnabas Medical Center to fight the relapse. Her husband, Gene Schaefer, coincidentally, is an oncology researcher, “so I knew how damaging it can be,” Genco says. “I was a basket case.”

She had dealt with her mastectomy by writing a blog about her care, but now she was in what is known as “chemo fog.” “I couldn’t write an email, let alone a blog,” she says. Prior to her treatment, she had learned about Saint Barnabas’ holistic nursing program, which includes using art therapy to help patients cope with the stresses of cancer treatment. “I wasn’t going to do it, but after the first round of chemo my brain was a sieve,” Genco says. “So I went to a holistic nurse, who was wonderful, and she suggested the art therapy program.”

Art therapy is used in a variety of settings, including hospitals, nursing homes and schools, with a broad group of people, says Donna Dandrilli, M.A., ATR, the art therapist at Saint Barnabas. “Art accesses the right hemisphere of the brain, where different types of information are stored,” she says. “Research shows art can help with healing, and with perceptions that might be stuck—it can ‘un-stick’ them, so to speak, and transform negative emotions into healing emotions.” That research, Dandrilli says,

includes a 2013 United Kingdom study that found 92 percent of adults with cancer who used art therapy found it helpful. A 2006 study in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management reported that art therapy reduced a broad spectrum of symptoms, including fatigue, pain and anxiety, she says.

“Making art takes your mind off the fact that you feel sick,” she says. “It lets you create something when you feel very much out of control. With art you do have control— of the materials, of how you want to work with them, of making decisions that have a positive end result.”

Genco was skeptical at first. “I come from a family of photographers and artists, but I am the one in human services. I don’t do art,” she says with a laugh. That’s a common misconception among those presented with art therapy. “It’s not about talent or past experience at all,” Dandrilli says. “Art therapy is about the process much more than the product. We are not there to teach you how to draw, though we will help.

It’s really about eliciting your own resources and creativity. In the medical setting, art therapy helps patients use the mind and body in a positive way, and that mind-body connection is important in healing.”

Indeed, there is more to art therapy than making art. “When I met Donna, I had no idea what to expect,” Genco says. “We just talked about my family, my anxiety, it was really amazing. I started seeing things clearer just talking to her. I realized it was not just about the cancer, it was about me being a mother, a grandmother, a woman,

the number of friends I have, and I decided to put a positive twist on it all. If I can’t write about it, I will try to use art to capture what I feel.”

Sister Carol Jaruszewski, R.S.M., has been doing the same since she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008.

Sister Carol, 71, of the Sisters of Mercy, lives in Little Falls. Her cancer has recurred several times since then, but as a lifelong artist and former art teacher, she already knew the importance of art in her life. “When I realized art therapy was an option at Saint Barnabas, I took advantage of it,” she says.

“It has been a real source of strength and hope—it has become almost like prayer.

There are prayers that are memorized or rote; then there are prayers that come from the heart, a spontaneous expression to your god or higher power. In expressing yourself, whether it is joy, praise and gratitude, despair or depression, you are in a connection with something beyond you. That is what I experience with art. I am able to tap into a deeper place that gives me greater clarity.”

Dandrilli is available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8 a.m.–4 p.m. to work with cancer patients in an out-patient setting.

The art they produce is generally optimistic, she says.

“I think there are times when they feel angry, which is normal, or sad, and those feelings definitely come out at times. But as we do art, we also talk and explore feelings, and it becomes more of an insight for them.

Even with a life-threatening illness, people tend to hold on to hope.”

Knee replacement surgery has come a long way since the first modern total knee implant operation was performed in 1974. One of the pioneering surgeons who developed and implanted that artificial knee was a physician named Chitranjan Ranawat, M.D. Today, a student of Dr. Ranawat is pioneering the latest advancement in total knee replacement at The Joint Institute at Saint Barnabas Medical Center.

Knifeless surgery Targeted radiation cuts out prostate tumors and leaves no scars.

W h e n a d o c to r b e c o m e s a patient, you can be reasonably sure he or she will know where to turn for reliable information on the best treatment options available. So when Stephen F. Bergen, D.D.S., was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he did his due diligence.

And the path he took led him to an amazing radiology machine called the CyberKnife. As its name implies, it acts like a surgical knife, but without any Alison Grann, M.D. actual cutting, scarring or blood loss. For certain cancers, like Dr. Bergen’s, it provides excellent results with minimal complications or side effects.

Dr. Bergen, 71, is a maxillofacial prosthodontist, a dentist specifically trained to restore the teeth and other structures of the mouth. He works primarily with cancer patients, so he knows first-hand what cancer and its treatments can do. His cancer was discovered last fall, when he found himself urinating more frequently during the night. His PSA scores, markers for prostate cancer, were still in the normal range; nevertheless, his urologist performed a digital rectal exam and felt a nodule on his prostate. Follow-up scans done by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging and a biopsy confirmed the cancer.

“My doctor recommended surgery as one option but left it open for me to explore different options,” says Dr. Bergen, who lives in West Orange with his wife, Juliet, who is also a prosthodontist. “I explored 12 or 13 different options for prostate cancer, and the one I felt—both in the medical literature and from what I heard from people I talked to—was the best option for me was CyberKnife.” A big reason, he says, was that his recovery time would be minimal, a plus for a doctor still working full time. “CyberKnife can be as effective as surgery,” he continues. “Even though you keep your prostate, it essentially kills the cancer cells, but there is no cutting involved, so no down time going back to work.”

Prostate cancer: Know the symptoms For many men, early-stage prostate cancer has no symptoms. Some men, though, may notice changes in urinary or sexual function that might be suspicious, including: n A need to urinate frequently, especially at night n Difficulty starting urination or holding back urine n Weak or interrupted flow of urine n Painful or burning urination n Difficulty having an erection n Painful ejaculation n Blood in urine or semen n Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips or upper thighs Source: Prostate Cancer Foundation

He received treatments in May 2016 under the direction of Alison Grann, M.D., chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology at Saint Barnabas. The medical center installed the newest model of the CyberKnife this past January, making it one of the first hospitals in New Jersey to get the latest iteration.

CyberKnife delivers very high doses of radiation over fewer treatments—up to four times the energy per dose from traditional radiation—she says. “For certain cancers, higher doses of radiation on each treatment area are more effective. Some types of cancer, like lymphoma, do better with low doses, but for certain cancers, such as prostate cancer, higher doses per treatment are more effective.” Early stage lung cancer, small brain tumors, melanoma and some pancreas and liver cancers also do well with CyberKnife treatment, Dr. Grann says.

Dr. Bergen received five doses, preceded by the placement

of target markers on the prostate. Side effects from the treatment may include inflammation in the prostate and urethra, which can lead to temporary urinary difficulties. There is also a very small risk of bowel changes, and all prostate treatments can interfere with potency. Dr. Bergen experienced a little pain urinating at first, but nothing that ibuprofen and Flomax couldn’t take care of.

The goal of his treatment is to see a decreased PSA level. But PSA numbers aren’t the only marker of cancer, Dr. Bergen says.

“My PSA was never very high (3.7), so that would be my warning to men: Don’t just rely on your PSA.” And if presented with a decision like his, do your homework, Dr. Grann recommends.

“The key to decision making is to understand your options,” she says. “Patients have choices and need to be well informed of those choices and their side effects. It is not one size fits all.”

Strengthening our minds and bodies An exercise and support program helps patients with Parkinson’s.

Stuart Cooper, of Livingston, and Michele Sutton of West Orange, are both 74 and suffer from Parkinson’s disease. And they share one more thing in common—the two are regulars at the Parkinson’s Disease Support Program, a collaboration between Saint Barnabas Medical Center and the JCC MetroWest. The program offers exercise and support groups for patients with Parkinson’s and other neuromuscular/movement disorders and their family caregivers.

Exercise classes are held three days a week.

On Monday, it’s tai chi chih, a series of slow, controlled movements that focus on the development of an internal energy that the Chinese call chi.

Wednesday’s class helps attendees build strength and improve balance, both of which suffer from the debilitating effects of neuromuscular disease. On Thursday, participants get into the pool for water exercises. “I don’t think we will vanquish the disease, but the classes improve strength and balance, and invariably I learn something,” Cooper says.

The support groups meet one Friday every month. “We discuss new research and treatments, the challenges and frustrations the group members face, the importance of physical activity and nutrition, and how to manage the disease,” Cooper says.

“We share what works and what doesn’t work.

The caregiver support group is primarily spouses, and we talk about both the good and bad, as well as the frustrations they face as caregivers.” Both Cooper’s wife, Karen, and Sutton’s husband, David, attend that group. “Couples go through this disease together,” Sutton says.

Occasionally, the groups invite guest speakers.

“Michael J. Fox once said that Parkinson’s is the gift that keeps on taking,” Sutton says. “The support groups are a lifeline for me and my husband.”

Part of that lifeline is made up of the connections made with others battling the disease, which is a primary goal of the program. “These programs have brought this community of individuals living with this disease closer,” Stephen P. Zieniewicz, FACHE, president and chief executive officer of Saint Barnabas Medical Center, says. “Participants find a lot of support being able to talk, laugh and joke with people who understand the challenges of living with Parkinson’s.” to find out more about the parkinson’s disease support programs offered through Saint Barnabas Medical Center, please call 973.322.5620 OR visit barnabashealth.org/sbmc.

all about

power food

edamame

Perfect for snacking, This fuzzy little green bean is a healthy Handful—and fun to eat too.

If you’ve ever eaten at a Japanese restaurant, you’ve likely sampled edamame (pronounced eh-dah-MA-may). These young green soybeans are typically served in their fuzzy pod, steamed and sprinkled with coarse salt, and are eaten by dragging the pod between the teeth, releasing the beans.

The nutty, buttery flavor and somewhat crunchy texture make edamame a popular snack or appetizer, but the beans are also low in calories, high in protein and fiber, and incredibly easy to prepare at home.

Power Up One cup of unshelled edamame rings in at just 190 calories and yields a hefty eight grams of fiber. It’s also a complete protein (meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids), boasting 17 grams a cup—about as much as three eggs. Edamame is an excellent source of folate, manganese and vitamin K too, as well as a good source of copper, phosphorous, magnesium, thiamin and iron.

And, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research, it contains a variety of phytochemicals that may be beneficial in preventing and fighting cancer.

So munch away!

Buy/ Store/ Serve Edamame can be purchased fresh, frozen and dry-roasted with various seasonings (sea salt, wasabi) for snacking right out of

54

the bag. The fresh variety—available during late summer at most Asian grocery stores—lasts only a day or two in the fridge.

Once cooked, the pods can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a few days. Frozen edamame, on the other hand, will keep in the freezer for about a year.

To prepare, boil the fresh or frozen pods for about four minutes, drain and immerse in an ice bath to stop the cooking. (You don’t want them to get mushy!) Sprinkle with coarse salt and, if you’d like, other spices such as garlic or cayenne. Or remove the beans from the pods (gently squeeze with your fingers to release them) and incorporate into your favorite dips, salads and stir-fries.

Some folks prefer to steam edamame, which is the way it is prepared in many Asian restaurants—purists argue this method retains more of the nutrients. To steam, place a steamer basket into a large saucepan and fill the pan with about an inch of water, making certain that the water does not touch the basket. Bring the water to a boil and place the frozen edamame in the basket. Cover with a lid and steam until tender, about two minutes. Another option: Edamame can be shelled and roasted (350°F for 30 to 40 minutes) with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.

Did You Know?

Edamame comes from the Japanese words eda (branch or stem) and mame (beans), translating to “beans on a branch” or “stem beans” because the beans were often sold while still attached to the stem. Although edamame has been enjoyed in East Asian countries for more than seven centuries, it didn’t become popular in the United States until the 1980s when a TV miniseries, Shogun, brought about a boom in Japanese food and culture in California, according to the 2009 book History of Edamame, Green Vegetable Soybeans, and Vegetable-Type Soybeans. And the word edamame didn’t appear in the MerriamWebster dictionary until 2008.

Grilled Shrimp with Watermelon and Feta INGREDIENTS n 16 raw whole jumbo shrimp n 2 lemons n 3 garlic cloves, sliced n ½ to 1 tsp. crushed red pepper n ½ to 1 tsp. dried oregano n Salt and freshly ground black pepper n 1 small watermelon n 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled n 4 scallions, sliced n ¼ cup fruity extra virgin olive oil n A good handful of Greek basil or mint leaves

Serves 3 to 4

DIRECTIONS n Start by marinating the shrimp: Put the shrimp into a large glass or ceramic bowl and add the juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon, garlic, crushed red pepper, oregano and a good seasoning of salt and black pepper. Mix well, cover and let marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours.

While the shrimp are marinating, cut the watermelon into chunks or slices and remove the skin. Arrange on a large platter, cover and chill in the fridge.

Preheat a grill or a ridged grill pan on the stove over medium to high heat. Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until cooked through and nicely charred. Arrange the shrimp over the chilled watermelon and scatter with the feta and scallions. Drizzle the olive oil over the whole dish, top with a flourish of Greek basil or mint and serve with extra lemon to squeeze over.

Goat’s Milk Labneh with Carrot, Beet and Pomegranate Salad

Serves 4 to 6

INGREDIENTS n 18 oz. full-fat goat’s milk yogurt n Salt and freshly ground black pepper n Bunch of small carrots n Bunch of mixed small beets n 3 Tbs. olive oil n 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled n 1 sprig thyme, leaves picked n 2 Tbs. coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley n 1 Tb. coarsely chopped mint n Seeds from 1 pomegranate n ½ cup sliced pistachios n 1 Tb. pomegranate molasses n 1 to 2 Tbs. pistachio or extra virgin olive oil n ½ tsp. ground sumac

DIRECTIONS n Season the yogurt with salt and black pepper. Line a finemesh nylon sieve with a cheesecloth and scoop the seasoned yogurt into the sieve. Suspend it over a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave in the fridge for 24 hours to allow the water to drain from the yogurt. The result is a soft cheese called labneh. n Preheat the oven to 375°F. Scrub the carrots and beets and remove the stalks and leaves. Cut any large carrots in half and add to a roasting pan, drizzle with the oil and season with salt and black pepper. Tuck the garlic cloves in with the carrots, scatter with the thyme and roast on the middle rack of the oven for about 30 minutes, depending on size, until tender. n Cook the unpeeled beets in a saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, drain and leave until cool enough to handle.

Peel and cut into bite-sized wedges. n Put the carrots and beets into a bowl, add the chopped herbs, squeeze in the roasted garlic from its skin and season with salt and black pepper. Mix the veggies gently using your hands and arrange on a serving platter. Dot the labneh over the top and scatter with the pomegranate seeds and pistachios.

Drizzle over the pomegranate molasses and pistachio or olive oil and season with a sprinkling of the sumac. Serve immediately.

Caramelized Mandarin Salad INGREDIENTS n 8–10 mandarins or clementines— choose firm ones, which are easier to peel n ¾ cup superfine sugar n Juice of 2 large oranges n 1 to 2 tsp. rosewater or orange flower water n Seeds from ½ pomegranate n ½ cup shelled pistachios, coarsely chopped n 2 to 3 sprigs mint, coarsely chopped

Serves 4 to 6

DIRECTIONS n For a more elegant look to the finished salad, rather than using your hands to peel the mandarins, cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of each and sit them upright on the cutting board.

Using a sharp, serrated knife, and working from top to bottom, cut the peel away in strips using a swaying action.

Try to cut all of the pith away, leaving the fruit in a near barrel shape. Cut each mandarin in half through the middle and arrange in a serving dish.

n Meanwhile, heat the orange juice until just below boiling in a separate saucepan or in a bowl in the microwave.

Slide the caramel pan off the heat and carefully add the hot juice—the caramel will splutter furiously, so keep your hands covered by a cloth and your face away from the pan. Return to the heat to melt any hardened caramel, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the rosewater or orange flower water and let cool for a few minutes.

n To make the caramel, put the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add 2 Tbs. of cold water, and set over low to medium heat to dissolve the sugar without stirring. Increase the heat to medium, bring the syrup to a boil and cook until it becomes amber-colored, swirling the pan to ensure that it cooks evenly.

n Pour the caramel over the mandarins and stir gently to coat the fruit. Leave for 1 hour or so for the caramel to flavor the little oranges and vice versa. n Scatter with the pomegranate seeds, pistachios and mint, and serve.

This Caribbean hideaway is the perfect place to make like a stage star—or a sea turtle. By Rita Guarna

Before St. Vincent and the Grenadines—100 MILES west of Barbados—served as the setting for the swashbuckler film series Pirates of the Caribbean, this island chain with the cumbersome name was known primarily to yachties and seclusion-seeking music and movie stars. But the luxurious, all-inclusive Buccament Bay Resort no doubt will appeal to other Caribbean connoisseurs on the prowl for some under-the-radar fun. And the good times come in several notable flavors. The Harlequin Performing Arts Academy, for example, gives guests the rare opportunity to be coached (yes, it’s included in the price) in voice, acting and dance by world-class professionals. Pros live on site for three-month stints. Recently, Phil Cavill, an actor, vocal coach and West End star—who was asked to audition for and was cast as Jean Valjean in the West End production of Les Misérables, the world’s most successful musical—and Netta Evans, an actress, drama coach and founder of The Windmill Theatre School in London, were helping guests channel their inner divas. The duo had budding protégés first recite silly tongue-twisters (the better to relax them and their vocal cords) such as “the lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue.” (Go ahead; see if you can repeat it quickly.)

This page, from top: St. Vincent is a favorite spot for those seeking seclusion.

Volcanic boulders shelter Owia Salt Pond from the swells of the sea, making it a perfect place for snorkeling. Opposite, clockwise from top: Charter a boat and swim with sea turtles at Tobago Cays. A giant Buddah stands guard at Buccament Bay’s spa, ensuring a serene experience. Enjoy a local lager with your sushi at The Bay Beach Club.

If bellowing and breathing exercises aren’t your thing, there’s coaching of another kind thanks to the Pat Cash Tennis Club and Harlequin Soccer Academy, both offering expert tutorials here. For water-sports enthusiasts, there’s snorkeling, kayaking, glass-bottom boat tours and deep-sea fishing, plus diving courses and excursions. The resort also has private-charter access to some of the Grenadines’ most remote beaches (only nine of 32 islands are inhabited), including the uninhabited Tobago Cays, where you can swim with sea turtles. Or enjoy three swimming pools with waiter service, umbrellas and chaises fitted with terry cloth mattress covers that up the pampering ante. (Just when it seems to be getting too hot, ice water and cold towels appear.) Nature lovers will love the trek along the Vermont Nature Trail through a 10,870-acre reserve of lush rain forest with towering ferns, bamboo and tropical flora at the end of the Buccament Valley. Reward yourself afterward with ESPA spa treatments. An array of massages and facials are available in cocoon-like suites, an outdoor pavilion or beachside.

Choose between luxury one- and two-bedroom Elaenia Suites or one of the deluxe Beachfront and Garden Villas, which come with private plunge pools, living rooms and expansive bathrooms. Lest guests should have to squeeze out lotions from puny bottles, there are full-size, pump dispensers of moisturizer, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Canaryyellow beach-cruiser bikes let guests explore (and work off the calories they consume at one of the five restaurants). Don’t care to break a sweat? Golf carts traverse the resort around the clock. Restaurants from Italian to Indian satisfy your gastronomic cravings. Plus there’s a coffee shop and sushi bar for those who prefer grazing. At Jack’s, a classic yet contemporary steakhouse, you’ll dine on delicious local seafood and succulent steaks cooked on a wood-burning grill in the open kitchen. And if you’re an oenophile, you’re in luck. There’s a sensational selection of wines from around the world.

Go before the hordes descend. Construction on the brand-new Argyle International Airport is underway, which will make the archipelago easier to visit (now you arrive by boat or fly to Barbados and then connect to a smaller air carrier), and waves of new vacationers will discover its lush shores. But for now, it’s still an offbeat choice, favored by travelers “in the know” and discerning divas, of course.

WELCOME TO A ONE-OF-A-KIND AND COMPREHENSIVE FAMILY DENTAL PRACTICE THE DENVILLE IMPLANT, Cosmetic and Family Dentistry Center is a well-established, multifaceted practice encompassing all aspects of dentistry, surgery and with an on-site dental lab, which means patients receive consistent care all under one roof.

Two of the area’s leading dental experts, founder Hal Kimowitz, D.M.D., FAGD, P.A., and son Adam Kimowitz, D.M.D., examine and consult with every patient, and together they’ve built legions of caring relationships with generations of families since the practice was founded in 1976.

From laser dentistry to full mouth restorations, both doctors integrate extensive training and advanced technology for superior outcomes. The office provides CEREC 3-D technology, which allows for quality and convenient same-day tooth restoration. The office is also the exclusive provider of Hybridge Dental Implants, a technology that offers a high quality and cost-effective solution for replacement of a single tooth to a full mouth. Dr. Hal and Adam Kimowitz are trained and credentialed in both the surgical and restorative phases of implant therapy, meaning as a patient there is no need to visit multiple offices. All care is performed under one roof, providing

greater treatment continuity and consistency.

Both doctors place hundreds of implants yearly and have helped many patients regain their confidence and function through a lasting smile with Hybridge.

Named America’s Top Dentist five years in a row, Dr. Hal Kimowitz has also been granted the title of “Fellow” of the Academy of General Dentistry. His other numerous achievements include recognition by the International Congress of Oral Implanvology as a Credentialed Diplomate for outstanding contribution to research and education in the field.

Dr. Adam Kimowitz’s wide range of expertise includes cosmetic, restorative, surgical therapy and the management of the most complex dental problems. He is a Credentialed Implant Dentist and has earned the status of Fellow with both the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and the International College of Oral Implantologists in recognition of his outstanding work.
