Well the first thing you need to take a look at is your diet to make sure you’re getting an adequate amount of calories to make sure your body can handle what you’re asking it to do. I tend to see a lot of people under-eating when trying to lose weight, just as there are people who don’t eat enough in order to gain weight. You must eat accordingly to your goals. There is a lot of misinformation out there on “the streets,” so please make sure you get with a professional that can guide you in the right direction appropriately. Secondly, staying hydrated is a big component of losing weight and just staying in top physical/mental well-being. Water has so many great health benefits for the body, and we ultimately will not survive without it. How could we ask our bodies/muscles to perform such feats of physical activity without enough of it? Hence why we start feeling more energetic when we drink it and our performance is highly increased across the board. The Institute of Medicine’s general guidelines for water intake recommends women consume a total of 91 ounces per day – from all food and beverages combined. For men, it’s about 125 ounces a day. Depending on your diet, about 20% of the water you consume comes from your food. Summer is also right around the corner, so drink up! Lastly, I would highly suggest monitoring your cardiovascular program a little more closely. Keep in mind, in order to lose one pound of fat you must have a deficit of 3,500 calories, which comes from physical activity(calories out), and maintaining a balanced weight loss meal plan(calories in). Your caloric deficit is one of the main determinants of how much fat you lose. If you want to drop weight quicker, you might be able to lower your daily caloric intake by 250 calories. It is important to understand that the body does not want to burn a lot of fat off too quickly. If you rush the fat-loss process, you can end up losing some of your hard earned muscle. Also, adding in an extra workout once or twice a week will help speed things up. Just be careful not to over-train! This is another solid reason to work with a professional if you’re unsure of what to do. Once you get this down, consistency comes next and is absolutely crucial if you want to succeed in your journey!

Minotty, founder of New Vision Eye Center, known for offering patients the latest technological advances in eye care, is excelling once again. Dr. Minotty and Dr. Stephen M. Tate are pleased to announce the final piece of the Cataract Refractive Suite puzzle with the addition of the VERION Image Guided system. New Vision Eye Center is honored to be the first facility on the East Coast of Florida to offer this advanced technology. The VERION Image Guided System tracks your eye from the beginning to the end of your cataract surgery, adding more accuracy and precision throughout the process. During the planning stage for cataract surgery, the VERION system takes a high-resolution image of a patient’s eye. It then maps out each eye’s unique iris and scleral details, as well as the pupil size and centration. This ‘fingerprint of the eye,’ helps the surgeon create an optimized surgical plan that guides him through the procedure on the day of surgery. This ensures accurate centering and positioning of the intraocular lens and laser incisions during surgery. The VERION features software that assists the surgeon with astigmatism correction and eliminates the need to manually mark the eye. Dr. Minotty stated, “Cataract surgery has come a long way. From the use of hand-held blades to the advancement of bladeless laser technology and now, more recently, to advancements in operating microscopes and software. These advances in cataract surgery offer safer, more accurate and more predictable vision outcomes. By the VERION, patients have the most advanced, fully computer-guided technology possible for their cataract surgery.” Already in operation at The Cataract Institute at New Vision Eye Center are the other pieces of the Cataract Refractive Suite: The LenSx Laser, The LuxOR Ophthalmic Microscope and The CENTURION Vision System, which all work seamlessly with the new VERION. Dr. Minotty and Dr. Tate have performed over 50,000 successful cataract surgeries. Rest assured they offer unparalleled expertise not only on the Treasure Coast but across the nation. Drs. Minotty and Tate, along with Dr. Roger Meyer, Dr. David O’Brien, and Dr. Paul Winslow, III look forward to assisting you with all of your eye care needs.

If so, your body could be trying to tell you something and you aren’t paying attention. Our bodies have been sending us lots of messages since we were born to act upon; such as thirst, hunger, temperature, stress, fear, and the need for sleep. As we get older, smarter and busier though we don’t seem to listen as well to what our bodies are telling us. We hear this statement a lot- “Listen to your body!” - What does this mean? We seem to multi-task more, sleep less, and ignore messages of stress. So this summer I am taking a vacation from surround – sound -the new era of cell phones, tweeting, texting, and Instagram and heading back to me. Wow, that sounds selfcentered! By golly, I think that’s a worthy journey. Listening to one’s body requires taking a break from external things like how we look, where we need to go, and daily to-do lists. It requires making time for checking in with how we feel. Start with the easy stuff like deep breathing and appreciating the local beauty and fresh air. With some thought and listening I know I can even upgrade my food choices to more mindful ones. Accompany me if you would like. Pack lightly- we just need a few things, leave behind the urge to pack more than you need. The itinerary is stress-free. There is time for resting, deep breathing, and sightseeing the local beauty around us. We will carry-on conversations and “check “the tweets and texts baggage.

While out and about in Sebastian, John experienced indigestion, a dull achiness in his chest and what felt like muscle soreness in his right arm. At first he told his wife, Susan, that he wanted to go home and lie down because he just wasn’t feeling right but quickly changed his mind and Susan drove directly to Sebastian River Medical Center instead. Within minutes of walking into the hospital’s Emergency Room entrance and announcing that John was experiencing chest pain, he was on the fast track to finding out what was going on. Whisked quickly into a room, he was given aspirin and a thorough workup by Dr. John Fernandez and his well-trained team so fast he barely had time to get his shirt off. It was clear that John was having a heart attack and needed immediate intervention. Knowing that time is crucial, Dr. Fernandez ordered that John be brought directly to the Catheterization Lab where the preparation for a heart catheterization was immediate. Dr. Charles Croft and his team took over and efficiently inserted stents to repair four blocked arteries, one nearly 99% blocked. All this took place in the span of about an hour that Friday morning and John returned home that same weekend. When asked about his experience, John said the whole thing was just a 8 “bump in the road”, as he’s always been a healthy man with no previous history of heart disease. A retired engineer, John commended Anna Brooks, Chief Nursing Officer, and Brad Guffin, ER Director, for the processes that SRMC has in place for patients requiring emergent cardiac intervention. From the moment a patient alerts the ER registrar, nurses and technicians spring into action and allows the ER physician to provide direction for their care. Dr. Fernandez was able to diagnose the heart attack quickly, resulting in John getting the lifesaving treatment he needed right away. Dr. Croft was able to perform the necessary interventional procedures within minutes of his arrival to the ER. “We place a lot of emphasis on having everything ready the moment a patient presents in our ER with chest pain,” said Kelly Enriquez, Chief Executive Officer. “Our team is focused on providing the very best outcome for our patients. We are very proud of our Cath Lab proHeartbeat of the Treasure Coast Left to right: Anna Brooks, CNO; John Fernandez, MD; Brad Guffin, ER Director; Kelly Enriquez, CEO gram, providing a level of cardiac care that has become such an asset to our local community.” Sebastian River Medical Center’s ER offers a 30 minute pledge to have patients seen by a medical provider (Physician, ARNP, PA) and the wait times are listed on the homepage of their website: sebastianrivermedical.com 772-589-3186 13695 U.S. Highway 1 • Sebastian www.sebastianrivermedical.com Heartbeat of the Treasure Coast Heart Disease At-a-Glance • Cardiovascular diseases claim more lives than all forms of cancer combined. • Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the world and the leading cause of death in the United States, killing over 375,000 Americans a year. • Heart disease accounts for 1 in 7 deaths in the U.S. • Someone in the U.S. dies from heart disease about once every 90 seconds. • Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, taking more lives than all forms of cancer combined.

With all of the attention recently to the measles outbreak in California (and even more recently with several cases reported in Indian River County!), have you given any thought to whether you up to date with all of your vaccinations or if you should do an assessment? Other than an annual influenza shot, many adults never think twice about needing additional vaccines. Well, there might be that rusty nail they step on while barefoot, and then they wonder when their last tetanus vaccine was, but otherwise, it is usually not top of mind. However, because of recent concerns about measles and whooping cough outbreaks, along with new guidelines for older vaccinations, it might be time to have a discussion with your doctor or pharmacist! There have been several updates recently to guidelines for adult vaccines. In addition, you probably are starting to see some television advertising about pneumonia or shingles vaccines, so let me provide you with the most recent information to help you make a decision as to your need to update your vaccines. Pneumonia – The newest guidelines came out in fall 2014. Prevnar (PCV13) was recently approved for adults over the age of 65 and also for some adults under age 65 with certain conditions. It is a “booster” of sorts for those who have previously had Pneumovax (PPSV23) and is first line for those who are “naïve” to the pneumonia Your locally Owned & Managed Medicare Agency Expert Home Care Serving Brevard, Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, Okeechobee, and Palm Beach Counties continued on page 34 Providing Skilled Services in Your Residence • Complex Wound Care • Medication Teaching • Post-Op Joint Replacement • Rehabilitation • Pain Management • Cardiac Care • Post-Op Urology • Diabetes Home Management • COPD/CHF Program • Vestibular Certified Rehab Staff Available Brevard 321-259-3733 • Indian River 772-562-1559 Port St. Lucie 772-283-2247 • Toll Free 1-877-305-4440 www.alohahomecarefl.net Medicare Certified Home Health Agency, LIC#HHA299992038; HHA299991835 10 Heartbeat of the Treasure Coast Heartbeat of the Treasure Coast 11 C O M P A S S I O N an d C A R E by Colleen Sanders-Symanski, RN, CDE “We Care” Update - Exciting News!

More than 80 diseases occur as a result of the immune system attacking the body’s own organs, tissues, and cells. Some of the more common autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes, thyroid disease, lupus, psoriasis, Sjogren’s, and multiple sclerosis. They can cause many different types of symptoms all over the body that range from mild to severe in nature. Our bodies have an immune system, which is a complex network of special cells and organs that defends the body from germs and other foreign invaders. At the core of the immune system is the ability to tell the difference between self and nonself: what’s you and what’s foreign. A flaw can make the body unable to tell the difference between self and non-self. When this happens, the body makes autoantibodies that attack normal cells by mistake. At the same time special cells called regulatory T cells fail to do their job of keeping the immune system in line. The result is a misguided attack on your own body. This causes the damage we know as autoimmune disease. The body parts that are affected depend on the type of autoimmune disease. There are many underlying factors 20 that can cause people to develop an autoimmune condition. There certainly is an underlying genetic component. However, whether these genes get expressed or turned on is actually caused by a host of other factors, such as toxins from heavy metals like mercury or mycotoxins from molds, or infections. Although each disease is unique, many share hallmark symptoms, such as fatigue, dizziness, and low-grade fever. For many autoimmune diseases, symptoms come and go, or can be mild sometimes and severe at others. When symptoms go away for a while, it’s called remission. Flares are the Heartbeat of the Treasure Coast sudden and severe onset of symptoms. You might notice that certain triggers, such as stress or being out in the sun, cause your symptoms to flare. Knowing your triggers, following your treatment plan, and seeing your doctor regularly can help you to prevent flares or keep them from becoming severe. If you suspect a flare is coming, call your doctor. Don’t try a “cure” you heard about from a friend or relative. Most autoimmune diseases don’t go away, but you can treat symptoms and learn to manage your disease, so you can enjoy life. If you are living with an autoimmune disease, there are things you can do each day to feel better: A Eat healthy, well-balanced meals. Make sure to include fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat milk products, and lean sources of protein. Limit saturated fat, Tran’s fat, excess salt, and added sugars. B Get regular physical activity and do not over do it. A gradual and gentle exercise program often works well for people with long-lasting muscle and joint pain. More is not always better. C Get enough rest. Rest allows your body tissues and joints the time they need to repair. Sleeping can help both your body and mind. If you don’t get enough sleep, your stress level and your symptoms could get worse. You also can’t fight off sickness as well when you sleep poorly. When you are well-rested, you can tackle your problems better and lower your risk for illness. D Reduce stress. Stress and anxiety can trigger symptoms to flare up with some autoimmune diseases. So finding ways to simplify your life and cope with daily stressors will help you to feel your best. Meditation, self-hypnosis, and guided imagery, are simple relaxation techniques that might help you to reduce stress, lessen your pain, and deal with other aspects of living with your disease. Although the causes of autoimmune disease remain unknown, a combination of a person’s genes together with infections and other environmental exposures are likely to play a significant role in disease development. Treatments are available for many autoimmune diseases, but cures have yet to be discovered. For more information about autoimmune diseases, call womenshealth.gov at 800-994-9662 (TDD: 888-220-5446) or contact the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA), Inc. Phone: 586-776-3900; 800-598-4668.

Heartbeat of the Treasure Coast 21 E N D - O F - L I F E - C A re Conversation Starter If you had to make a healthcare decision for a seriously-ill loved one, would you be prepared to do so? Could you tell a doctor, decisively, how much information to share with your loved one about her/his condition? Would you know whether or not your loved one wanted aggressive care to prolong her/his life? Consider the following fact: 90% of people say that talking with their loved ones about end-of-life care is important…but only 27% percent have done so. There is a clear contrast between our desire to discuss end-of-life care and our willingness to actually do so. Fortunately, there is a straightforward solution to this disconnect—a simple conversation—and the VNA is planning to help facilitate such conversations in our community through a grassroots effort called “The Conversation Project in Indian River County.” The new initiative is modeled after “The Conversation Project,” an initiative started in 2010 by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ellen Goodman and a group of concerned colleagues who wanted to share stories of “good deaths” and “bad deaths” within their own circle of loved ones. At the core of the concept is a “Conversation Starter Kit” to help people think through their desires for endof-life care, put those thoughts in writing, and make their wishes known to family, friends, and healthcare providers. Collaboration with community part- ners will be vitally important to reach the diverse population of Indian River County. Fortunately, the VNA already has received positive feedback and letters of support from many community organizations, and in late March, the organization held a Conversation Project kickoff meeting, which was attended by forty local health and human service providers and community advocates the VNA hopes will champion the cause. The idea for bringing “The Conversation Project” to Indian River County came from VNA President & CEO Mary Linn Hamilton, who has seen the project work successfully in other states. “Having caring, open, compassionate discussions about end-of-life issues is the key to ensuring your wishes are honored,” said Mary Linn, “but starting those conversations can be very difficult. We’re dedicated to helping our friends and neighbors begin their own conversations so they can make their wishes known.” The VNA plans to begin offering Conversation Project presentations over the summer for community groups, service organizations and clubs, faith communities, healthcare providers, senior living communities, and anywhere else people live, pray, work, or gather. They will also offer training for volunteer presenters and facilitators to work with individuals and families who request support with advance care planning and family conversations.

If you look in the right places, such as on the Runner’s Depot of Vero Beach’s website, you’re sure to find one almost every single weekend. For those who might not be familiar with the term a 5k is a 3.1 mile road race that participants complete at any pace they’d like, from walking with their babies in strollers to sprinting! Anyone and everyone can enter, and everyone is equal. From kids to seniors there can be a lot of competition out there for you too. Otherwise you go to have fun, and possibly support a friend whose doing their first race, or trying to lose weight and they need motivation. Others look at it as a way to stay in shape or just test out and improve their own fitness and health. Another great thing about 5k’s is that they are usually put together by people to raise money for certain causes, such as cancer, diabetes, school/band/sports/club trips, small local businesses etc. By doing this it brings the local community together more frequently, 24 continued on page 44 Heartbeat of of the the Treasure Treasure Coast Coast Heartbeat Heartbeat of the Treasure Coast 25 w w w . runners d epotvb . com A Store for Runners, Run by Runners!

M ichael G reene by Colleen Sanders-Symanski, RN, CDE Lung Cancer Early Detection and Care: Find Out What a Difference Experience Makes! I first met Dr. Michael Greene when he was caring for a friend admitted to Sebastian River Medical Center (SRMC); I was moved and impressed with Dr. Greene’s compassion and how he engaged the patient and family in options for care. Months later, the opportunity to interview Dr. Greene seemed more like a privilege than a task. Dr. Greene is double board certified in general surgery and thoracic surgery. He obtained his undergraduate degree at Drury University and went on to receive his medical degree from the University of Missouri. Dr. Greene completed his surgical internship at the University of Louisville where he later served as a surgical resident and worked at the Price Institute for Cardiothoracic Research. He then completed his cardiothoracic surgery residency at the University of Florida and became a faculty member. In addition to his full time work, Dr. Greene volunteers for medical missions in other countries such as Haiti and Peru. Dr. Greene’s medical achievements are numerously admirable and remain a catalyst for continued advancement and compassion. Dr. Greene told me that his medical practice is “rewarding and has the highest of highs and lowest of lows. It is a balance of the human/ medical versus the spiritual side of being a physician.” Speaking of the spiritual 28 side, Dr. Greene’s family and hobbies such as kite surfing and playing the guitar provide a personally satisfying role in his life. Dr. Greene’s office is on U.S Highway 1 in Sebastian where he treats patient for lung conditions, diseases, and cancers. He has privileges at SRMC where he inserts pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (a small device that’s placed in the chest to help treat irregular heartbeats), and inserts infusion ports for the delivery of medications and chemotherapy. Dr. Greene shared his passion for prevention and early detection for the number one leading cause of cancer deathslung cancer.

I paused to hold back the tears and Colleen filled in the silence. She said, “Laura, certain people deserve something being named after them so their life’s contributions remain alive, and Phil is that someone.” Phil and I knew Colleen and of the great work she does, so three years ago we scheduled an appointment with her for health coaching services for Phil. He never missed an appointment in over a year and he became a strong supporter. Phil made their signs, did interior work, and exemplified the benefits of better health while being able to continue doing in-depth tours for Piper Aircraft.

Their ownership and corporate management team, as well as individual facility nurses and caregivers, recognize that their profession is much more than a business; it is a mission – “A Service from The Heart.” They decided to “speed up” their mission for finding a cure for Alzheimer’s and to provide comfort to caregivers. Seasonal local philanthropist Byron DeFoor, who founded Grace Healthcare, and his Fifty Plus Racing team of internationally known race car drivers are literally putting their lives on the line to raise support for Alzheimer’s research. Fifty Plus Racing Foundation came to fruition when Byron DeFoor and co-founder Rocker Brian Johnson (AC/DC) realized they both had a passion for racing cars and a shared mission to find a cure for Alzheimer’s. Debuting on Daytona International Speedway in 2012 at the Rolex 24 hours 50th Anniversary, this year, 2015, will mark their 4th consecutive year of competing, drawing international attention and support for their mission to cure Alzheimer’s.

Bottom line, even if you have previously been vaccinated for pneumonia, if it has been more than 1 year, you are probably a candidate for this vaccine! Shingles – This vaccine is indicated for age 50 and over, but Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommended for adults 60 and over. While it does not guarantee that a vaccinated individual will not develop shingles, at the least it greatly prevents the severity and duration of the symptoms that some suffer from having shingles. The vaccine is not recommended for certain populations with greatly weakened immune systems (such as HIV, those undergoing chemotherapy, etc.), but otherwise should be considered and has very few side effects associated with it. Measles – I have had several inquiries about this vaccine because of the recent news reports, especially about the ability of adults to contract measles due to waning immunization status since they received their vaccine so many years ago. However, please know there is no cause for concern! Almost every case that has been documented recently has occurred in children who were not previously vaccinated. And, the CDC has a great frequently asked questions (FAQ) page that even states that anyone born before 1957 is considered “immune by age.” www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/measles/faqs-dis-vac-risks.htm Whooping cough (pertussis) – A booster vaccine of Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis) is recommended for all adults age 19 to 64 in place of their normal tetanus vaccine every 10 years. Also, adults 65 and over who anticipate being around an infant should have a booster. The attached link from the CDC gives more detailed information. Pharmacists may not administer this vaccine under Florida law, so you should ask your physician or check with the local health department about the availability of Tdap www.adultvaccination.org/whooping_cough_vaccine_pertussis_vaccination_adult_immunization.htm Annual influenza (flu) shot. This is important for ALL age groups, so please remember to get your flu shot each fall which provides immunity against the flu during the height of flu season. Most pharmacies offer these vaccines and do not require a prescription under Florida law. There are exceptions, so please call your pharmacist first to verify. Also, certain vaccines are billed to your Part B benefit of Medicare and usually have no out of pocket cost. However, Zostavax, for shingles, is only billed to your prescription insurance so there often is a copay for that vaccine.

Due to the Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) regulations and to receive a new licensure to accommodate more attendees for Adult Day Care at its Vero Beach location, the Senior Resource Association made it a priority to have the security/fire alarm system in place after converting the Schumann Center in October of 2013. The funds raised were through individual donations and capital campaigns to add the new features and prepare the new location for its renovated purpose. “The system has been working very well for our staff, clients and caregivers at our Vero Beach Adult Day Care facility,” said Karen Deigl, SRA President/ CEO. “We are excited to implement the same security system to our Sebastian facility to provide the best service possible.” The security systems include locking devices that consist of electromagnet and an armature plate that are connected to a separate release button or key fob swipe mounted near the door. All doors are also tied to the Fire Alarm System and receive a signal to disarm itself in the event of a fire or other emergency. A master intercom is also installed to alert staff of a participant’s arrival. The system allows the SRA Adult Day Care to provide the utmost safety and security for all of the clients in the program. The Senior Resource Association requested the grant for the system to put the requirements in place for a new Adult Day Care licensure. The new licensure designation will make the Adult Day Care facilities in Vero Beach and Sebastian a ‘Specialized Alzheimer’s Services Center’. This new licensure will allow SRA Adult Day Care to provide clinical care for clients with Alzheimer’s and other Dementia Related Disorders (ADRD) as well as support and education services for their caregivers.
