A Conversation with Renee Sevy, Tommy Whitley and Jill Butler

00:00 /

Renee Sevy is the Patient Navigator for the new Prostate Cancer Center at St. Josephs Hospital. Originally from Detroit, Renee came to Atlanta 25 years ago, and attended Georgia State University to get a degree in social work. Having worked for St. Joseph’s for 8 years, six in the cancer support center, she is very excited about the opportunity to participate in the creation of the new center. Renee is also active with the Men’s Health and Wellness Center, a non-profit organization created to educate and support better health practices among men and their partners by promoting lifestyle practices that lead to disease prevention, healing, and healthy living. She recently stepped down as executive director of this organization in order to focus her activity on the Prostate Cancer Center. Renee can be reached at 678-843-5665, or visit the Center’s website at www.gaprostate.org. .

Our next guest is concerned about the financial strain that can be placed on older individuals as life expectancies increase and economic pressures close in. Having seen it in his own family, Tommy Whitley, of Great Oak Mortgage, is committed to educating older adults about the financial options available for staying in their own homes. Tommy is the Division Director for Reverse Mortgages at Great Oak. Though they have been around since the early 1990s, reverse mortgages have really only begun to become popular in the past five years. And while not right for everybody, they provide an interesting alternative to a traditional loan or line of credit. Tommy can be reached at 678-517-3353, or visit his website at www.greatoakmtg.com.

Wrapping up today’s line-up is Jill Butler, Director of Sales and Marketing for Chambrel of Roswell. Jill has known since age 15 that she wanted to work with seniors, when she began working in a continuing care retirement center in her native Charlotte, North Carolina. She went on to pursue a recreation degree in geriatrics in college. When her husband was transferred to Atlanta, Jill found Chambrel. Chambrel is an independent living center situated on an idyllic 35 acre campus that was formerly an apple orchard. Jill tells us that one of the features of Chambrel is their Optimum Life Program that inspires wellness. Call Jill at 770-594-4600 to arrange a tour, or visit their website at www.brookdaleliving.com.

Is It Possible To Count Calories Accurately?

Is It Possible To Count Calories Accurately?

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share ways to make sure you are counting your calories accurately. Writing down what you are eating is a great way to keep track of your calorie intake. But what if the food companies and restaurants are conspiring against by misrepresenting how many calories are in the food you are eating? That would not be cool. But it’s happening. Did you know that the FDA allows for a 20% margin of error in the number of calories that are inside packaged foods? And the penalties are much greater for the company if they put in too little food – so they are incented to put in too much. Restaurants are even worse – since each meal is made by a human you are going to get human error. When some restaurant foods were tested they had as many as 3 times the amount of calories than what was listed on their menu’s nutritional information. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Elizabeth Gordon interviews Angela Stalcup of Ladies Who Launch Atlanta and The Curvy Life on The Chic Perspectives Show

00:00 / 0:26:38

This week it was my pleasure to chat with Angela Stalcup, the Atlanta Market Director for Ladies Who Launch and the Chief Curvy Officer for The Curvy Life about how women entrepreneurs are changing the world.

www.ladieswholaunch.com/atlanta www.curvylife.com

Angela talked about the latest trends she is seeing in women entrepreneurs and why the numbers of women starting new businesses continues to grow in the current economy and how women are becoming more sophisticated in their approach.

Angela gave some great examples of how the barriers to entry have gone down and how women can now compete at a global level with large companies without feeling a tremendous disadvantage. Â All signs still point to this being an increasing popular path for women. Â While lifestyle is usually a factor for women’t entrepreneurial career choice, more and more money has become more of the focus as women are realizing just what they are capable of achieving once they step out of the shadow of a boss and take their economic power into their own hands.

Angela talked about the new feminine power and how it differs from the traditional view of power. Â This is such a hot topic in female business leader circles of late, so I would to hear your comments on how women leaders are challenging the norms and bringing forth a new approach based on collaboration instead of control and what the effects of such a perspective shift will be.

She also spoke of the rise of women in the corporate world and how leadership norms are changing, why certain practices are outdated and what it really takes to get ahead in today’s business world.

Angela and I talked about the new girls club, and how the last 10 years have seen a great shift in how women network, connect and help each other. Â We discussed why women in the past have felt a need to compete with each other and why cooperation is the new norm in women business relations.

I know you’ll enjoy this insightful conversation about the next wave of feminine power in the workplace and what that means for profits, products and our planet. Â Check out more about Angela, Ladies Who Launch Atlanta, and The Curvy Life @ Â www.ladieswholaunch.com/atlanta www.curvylife.com

Is There A MRSA Cure In the Ocean?

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain the possibility of a MRSA cure in the ocean. MRSA is a dangerous bacteria that used to be found only in hospitals but has now creeped into locker rooms and even some homes. Researchers have found an interesting sea sponge that seems to be MRSA resistant because it is filled with natural anti-bodies. Early research is positive that this might be a cure for MRSA. I wonder how many other natural cures can be found in the ocean. Maybe we should spend more time investigating the ocean instead of outer space? Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
