Kickstart your new year's resolution with GLP-1s
Brought to you by - OlympusMD - Milton
New Year’s resolutions often bring a sense of renewal and the motivation to tackle personal goals—many of which revolve around achieving healthier lifestyles and weight loss. But sticking to these resolutions, especially when it comes to shedding extra pounds, can be challenging. That’s where GLP-1 receptor agonists (commonly referred to as GLP-1s) come in. These innovative medications can help you kickstart your weight loss endeavors and set you up for long-term success. If weight loss is part of your New Year’s resolution, here’s everything you need to know about integrating GLP-1s into your plan.
What are GLP-1s?
GLP-1s, or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, are medications originally designed to help individuals with Type 2 diabetes regulate blood sugar. But one of their most popular and impactful side effects is weight loss. They work by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone in the body, which slows digestion, reduces appetite, and promotes feelings of fullness. For individuals struggling to gain control over their eating habits and achieve sustainable weight loss, GLP-1s can be a game changer.
Why GLP-1s are perfect for your new year’s goals
Starting a weight loss routine can feel overwhelming, especially as motivation tends
to wane mid-year. Incorporating GLP-1s into your strategy can help maintain that energy and commitment beyond the initial enthusiasm. Here’s why they’re particularly effective this time of year:
• Kickstart momentum. For many, seeing early progress can be a powerful motivator. GLP-1s help suppress appetite and reduce calorie intake, allowing you to see results more quickly than traditional dieting alone.
• Support healthy habits. GLP-1s work best when combined with a nutritious diet and regular exercise. They complement healthier habits by making portion control easier and reducing cravings, enabling you to stick to your resolutions with greater ease.
• Sustain long-term results. Beyond the initial boost, GLP-1s encourage sustainable changes by helping regulate hunger, preventing overeating, and supporting a more balanced approach to food.
This New Year, take control of your weight loss goals with the help of GLP-1s. Whether you’re making your first attempt or looking for a fresh start after past setbacks, these medications can provide the support you need to achieve meaningful and lasting results.
Consult with a trusted healthcare provider to determine if this option makes sense for your individual needs. With GLP-1s on your side, 2025 could be the year you not only kickstart your resolution—but maintain it for years to come. For more information, please call 470-359-4815

A traditional Japanese custom and its reflections in modern dentistry
Brought

- Destinee Hood, DMD, Roswell Dental Care
Ohaguro, the practice of blackening one’s teeth, holds a significant place in Japanese cultural history. Historically, ohaguro was a symbol of beauty, status, and marital eligibility. While the tradition has faded over time, its impact is still visible in various cultural remnants and even resonates in modern dentistry. This article explores the roots of ohaguro and delves into its connection with contemporary dental practices.
Ohaguro dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), where it was initially practiced by the aristocracy and later adopted by commoners. The custom involved blackening the teeth using a solution made from iron filings and vinegar, resulting in a distinctive lacquered appearance. Ohaguro was particularly prevalent among married women, symbolizing their commitment and marital status.
As Japan modernized during the Meiji era (1868-1912), ohaguro gradually lost its significance. Influences from the Western world, changes in fashion, and evolving societal norms contributed to the decline of this centuries-old tradition. By the end of the Meiji era, ohaguro was largely abandoned, although some elderly individuals continued the practice well into the 20th century.
Ohaguro’s Influence on Modern Dentistry:
While ohaguro itself may be a relic of the past, its impact on modern dentistry is noteworthy. The quest for aesthetically pleasing smiles has always been a constant, and this is where the historical custom finds resonance in contemporary dental practices.
1. Teeth Whitening Technologies: The desire for whiter teeth in modern society is the antithesis of ohaguro. Teeth whitening procedures, ranging from over-the-counter products to professional treatments offered by dentists, reflect society’s current beauty standards. These treatments use safe and effective methods to remove stains and discoloration, enhancing the natural whiteness of teeth.
2. Orthodontics and Cosmetic Dentistry: Ohaguro was not only about color but also about the shape and arrangement of teeth. In modern dentistry, orthodontic treatments, such as braces and clear aligners, address issues related to tooth alignment and structure. Cosmetic dentistry procedures, like veneers, bonding, and contouring,
allow individuals to achieve the perfect smile they desire.
3. Dental Implants and Prosthetics: For those who have lost teeth due to various reasons, dental implants and prosthetics provide functional and aesthetic solutions. These technologies mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, helping individuals regain confidence in their smiles.
Ohaguro may be a thing of the past, but its influence on modern dentistry is undeniable. From a symbol of status and beauty to a relic of history, ohaguro has evolved, leaving a lasting impression on Japan’s cultural landscape. Today, as advancements in dentistry continue to flourish, individuals have a range of options to achieve healthy, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smiles— embracing a new era that values the preservation and enhancement of natural dental beauty.

What is a medical home?
A medical home is an approach to providing comprehensive and high-quality primary care, in a coordinated fashion with specialists and consultants.
A medical home is patientcentered with many aspects that contribute to improved healthcare outcomes
• Accessibility: Care is easy for the patient to obtain, including geographic access and insurance accommodation.
• Family-centered: The patient and family are recognized and acknowledged, ensuring that all medical decisions are made in true partnership.
• Continuous: The same primary care clinician cares for patient, aiding and support through young adulthood through elder years.
• Comprehensive: Preventive, primary and specialty care are provided.
• Coordinated: A care plan is created in partnership with the patient and communicated with all health care clinicians.
• Compassionate: Genuine concern for the well-being of the patient is emphasized and addressed.
At Comprehensive Internal Medicine, we involve many team members at various levels to coordinate and provide patient care. Our doctors lead all clinical decision-making in a team approach,
collaborating with the patient to tailor care in an individualized manner.
Understanding the intricacies of our patient’s care brings a deeper knowledge of the long-term care plan. Our team of administrative professionals strives to answer each call quickly, avoiding voice mail or a phone tree.
Our scheduling department quickly accommodates each patient’s scheduling needs.
We save appointment times for same-day appointments and are
always welcoming new patients.
Whereas it may be convenient to see Urgent Care, we believe seeing your regular doctor brings your healthcare to a higher level, being seen quickly when needs arise prevents worsening medical symptoms.
Call today to establish with one of our many doctors. We have physicians who focus on young adult care, and others who have special training in the care of geriatric patients.

Great news in Pediatric Melanoma
Brought to you by
– Dr. Brent Taylor, Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta
Isn’t it wonderful to hear that you are making a difference? Well, you are! All that hard work that you put in with children or grandchildren getting them to protect themselves from the Sun and wear sunscreen is making a difference!
A recent study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) of more than 76,000 pediatric melanomas confirmed a decline in melanoma incidence over the last ten years in children ages five and older. That decrease in melanoma is likely due to the measures you and your family members have taken during those years and during the prior ten to fifteen years when you worked so hard to protect them from the Sun.
And it is hard work. I have personally braved and endured myself. We all know what it’s like: The child in question seems to morph into a wet fish wriggling out of your grasp. Your slippery sunscreen hands don’t make it any easier! The rascal gets free, and you chase him or her down. Your drink gets knocked over. Sand gets on chairs, in bags and in other places you don’t want sand to get. It’s a task somewhere between roping a calf and getting a cat to take a bath. Grueling, grasping, groaning, finally it’s complete! The child may go and play. And in an hour and a half, you get to repeat the process all over again!
We know sun safety isn’t easy. What dermatologists ask of parents and grandparents is not a simple task. Is it really all worth it?
Yes! The results are in, and they are inspiring. This very encouraging study in the JAAD strongly suggests that all our hard work is paying off.
For children ages 10-14, there was a greater than 30% drop in melanoma between 2002 and 2020.
For children ages 5-9, there was a greater than 60% drop in melanoma between 2014 and 2020.
Interestingly, a small increase in pediatric melanoma cases for children ages four and younger supports that what we are doing is making a difference. Older children who develop melanoma are much more likely to have developed skin cancer from sunburns and sun exposure. Babies and children under 4 years old who develop melanoma are NOT likely to have developed melanoma from sun exposure. (But they still need to be protected from the Sun). Instead, genetics, a chance unlucky mutation or non-sun related environmental factors are more likely to be responsible for
melanoma in the extremely young. They simply haven’t had much time to be damaged by the Sun. The fact that melanoma in those ages four and under slightly increased but melanoma in those five and older dramatically decreased makes the claim even more credible that our efforts at sun protection are working.
Good news in pediatric melanoma is likely great news for these individuals’ entire lives. Our bodies have proteins called “mismatch repair enzymes” whose job it is to fix DNA that has been damaged by ultraviolet rays from the Sun. Unfortunately, these enzymes don’t do a perfect job, and many mutations in our DNA are with us for life. Our entire lives, these mutations increase the chance that we develop skin cancer. Dermatologists have tools including prescription creams and in office treatments that kill pre-cancers and reduce one’s sun damage, but some of the Sun damage from childhood and adulthood is always with us. The fact that pediatric melanoma has plummeted in the last ten years gives us great hope that these same individuals will develop far fewer cancers as adults as well.
When you protect your loved one as a child, you are likely helping protect him or her for life.
The next time you wonder, “is it worth it?...Should I really use that sunscreen, that UPF 50 sun shirt or take on the herculean task of wrangling a kiddo channeling his or her inner feral cat?,” the answer is YES. You are making a difference. And we only see these wonderful results at the population level in a published study because of many, many daily actions at the individual level – through the genuine care and love of many, many parents and grandparents who love their family and showed it through their actions. Keep up the great work!

Your youthful smile
1. Avoid staining: Avoid tobacco and limit stain causing and enamel eroding acidic foods and drinks.
In order to understand a youthful smile, one needs to know the look of aging teeth. An aging smile can occur as a person gets older, however, they can be influenced by various factors such as oral habits, lifestyle choices, and dental hygiene care…at any age!
Some of the most common features of an aging smile are:
1. Teeth yellowing: Over time, and many coffee/tea, chocolate, wine and tobacco indulgences later, teeth can lose their natural brightness and present more yellow.
2. Tooth wear and tear: Years of grinding, taking out one’s stress on one’s teeth, and misaligned teeth can contribute to excessive and uneven tooth wear and flatter and shorter surfaces.
3. Gum recession: gum recession exposes the darker root surfaces and makes teeth look longer and less esthetic.
4. Tooth loss: missing teeth can impact the appearance of one’s smile and contribute to decreased lip and cheek support and fullness causing facial changes.
5. Teeth crowding: As we age our teeth have a tendency to shift in a forward direction, causing the front teeth to become more crowded.
To maintain a youthful smile here are a few tips:
2. Whitening: professional dental whitening can remove most stains and bring back the luster and brightness to one’s teeth.
3. Resin bonding: Tooth colored fillings do a beautiful job of masking exposed root surfaces and restoring the beautiful shape of the teeth, and thus enhance one’s smile.
4. Tooth replacement: In today’s world, replacing a tooth with implant therapy is the gold standard of dentistry and has long lasting benefits in maintaining the longevity of one’s dentition.
5. Orthodontics: Crooked and misaligned teeth can be corrected using braces or aligners and immediately restore the “wellness” of the smile. It is amazing what a straight smile does to restore youthfulness and confidence! 6. Occlusal guard: A bite guard can shield the teeth from the harmful effects of clenching and grinding.
Maintaining a youthful smile is a lifelong commitment to YOURSELF! Regularly consulting with a good dentist who is committed to your optimal dental health and smile will help ensure personalized advice and appropriate care and methods keep your smile healthy and youthful.

Comprehensive wound care and hyperbaric medicine
Brought to you by - Dr. Ricardo Duran, medical director of wound care and hyperbaric medicine at Wellstar
Imagine living with a wound that doesn’t heal—days turn into weeks, then months. Every step becomes painful. You feel trapped, unsure where to turn. This is the reality for thousands in our community, especially those living with diabetes, neurologic or circulatory problems. Unfortunately, many patients stumble through emergency rooms, urgent care centers or hospital stays without finding the right help. Some even face life-altering amputations—an outcome that could often be avoided with proper care.
The Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center at Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center is transforming how chronic wounds are managed in Roswell and the surrounding areas. Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, vascular ulcers, pressure injuries and surgical wounds, affect millions of people nationwide. Without specialized care, these wounds can lead to serious complications, including infections and amputations, that dramatically impact quality of life and increase healthcare costs.
At Wellstar North Fulton, we offer our community
one of the most advanced wound care programs in Georgia. Our center combines cutting-edge treatments with a compassionate, multidisciplinary approach to ensure every patient receives the highest standard of care.
Advanced care close to home
Our program is led by a board-certified physician specializing in wound care and hyperbaric medicine. Patients benefit from a personalized treatment plan that may include:
• Wound debridement to remove dead tissue and promote healing
• Advanced therapies such as negative pressure wound therapy and skin grafting
• In-office diagnostics like ankle-brachial index testing to evaluate blood flow and accelerate referrals for vascular care
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment using pressurized oxygen to enhance healing, fight infections and prevent amputations. We are one of the few hyperbaric facilities in Georgia certified by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society. HBOT has been especially effective for patients with diabetic foot ulcers, chronic infections and radiation injuries. Studies show that HBOT can improve healing rates by over 70% and reduce amputation risk by 50%, helping patients recover faster and get back to their lives.
Why it matters to our community
Many wounds require specialized care that general practitioners or urgent care clinics simply cannot provide. Without expert attention, what begins as a small ulcer can spiral into a serious condition requiring hospital admissions—or worse, amputation. Chronic wounds don’t only affect physical health—they can lead to emotional and financial burdens for patients and their families. Amputation is more than the loss of a limb—it’s a loss of mobility, independence and often income. The economic and emotional toll can be devastating for individuals and families. At Wellstar North Fulton, we’re dedicated to preventing these outcomes by addressing wounds early, thoroughly and with expertise. Our goal is to restore not only health but also hope and quality of life.
Take the first step toward healing
If you or a loved one has a wound that hasn’t healed, the Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center at Wellstar North Fulton is here to help. Let us partner with you in the process of healing and avoid hospital stays, preserve limbs and restore your quality of life.
Chronic wounds don’t have to control your life. With the right care, healing is possible. Call us today at (770) 751-2830 to schedule an appointment.

Sedation dentistry: navigating anxiety for the best dentist experience
Dr. Bradley Hepler, Atlanta Center for Dental Health
Many people get nervous going to the dentist. So many people have had bad experiences in the past or just don’t like it. Fear of the dentist is common and affects people of all ages. Whether it’s the sound of the drill or fear of potential pain, dental anxiety can prevent people from seeking the oral care that they need. Sedation Dentistry allows patients to relax while undergoing dental procedures.
There is an alternative. You can have comfortable, anxiety-free visits to the dentist with Sedation Dentistry. Dental offices like the Atlanta Center for Dental Health offer comfort amenities including bottled water, snacks, courtesy Wi-Fi, a warm inviting environment, relaxing music, noise-cancelling headphones, Netflix movies, lavender eye pillows and warm neck pillows, cozy blankets, and warm face towels to make your visit as comfortable as possible. In addition to all those amazing benefits, you can also choose from a range of sedation options.
Sedation Dentistry uses medications to help patients relax during their dental procedures. The goal is to create a calm, anxiety-free environment, making it easier for individuals to receive necessary dental care. This benefits not only anxious patients, but also patients with extensive needs that may
require a longer visit, patients with a low pain threshold, or time efficiency allowing more to be done in a single visit.
Sedation Dentistry focuses on keeping the patient comfortable and relaxed while receiving much needed dental care. Some patients choose to have their mouth numb so they don’t feel anything and then just relax with their eyes closed while listening to music.
Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, inhalation sedation is a popular option that relaxes you while your procedures are completed. At the end of your visit, you simply breathe pure oxygen and then can drive yourself home.
Many people choose Oral Sedation that allows you to sleep through the dental visit, have all your work completed in one visit, be easily awakened, and not remember the experience of your visit. With Oral Sedation, you simply swallow some pills prescribed for you, lay back and fall asleep, and wake up at the end with your procedures complete and your new smile. All dental procedures can be completed with Sedation Dentistry from routine preventive care to a complete Smile Makeover.

Importance of skin checks for mature skin
Brought to you by - Dr. Kehinde Olumesi of Epiphany DermatologyBrookhaven
As skin matures, it undergoes various changes that necessitate regular skin checks to ensure overall skin health. Differentiating between age spots, healthy moles and potential skin cancers is crucial. Age spots, often appearing as flat, brown, or black spots on sun-exposed areas, are generally harmless but can be mistaken for more serious conditions. Early detection of skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. Therefore, routine skin examinations are essential for mature skin to maintain health and catch any issues early.
Addressing skin conditions and rejuvenation procedures
Dermatologists can assist with a variety of skin conditions and rejuvenation procedures for mature skin. Common issues such as dryness, age-related pigmentation and conditions like rosacea, psoriasis and eczema, which can persist or develop with age, are also addressed with specialized care plans.
In addition to treating conditions, dermatologists offer rejuvenating procedures to enhance the appearance and health of mature skin. Treatments such as chemical peels, laser rejuvenation and injectable treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improve skin texture and promote collagen production. These procedures not only rejuvenate the skin but also boost confidence and overall well-being. Establishing a relationship with a dermatologist ensures that your skin receives comprehensive care tailored to its evolving needs, promoting longterm skin health and vitality.
Cancer nutrition
to you
New year’s resolutions usually include eating better, so you have probably thought about nutrition. If you ask most oncologists about nutrition, they will say that it doesn’t matter what cancer patients eat. Some will even say to eat whatever you want. Unfortunately, this is bad advice.
We have significant research showing that what we eat matters a lot, whether we are treating cancer or trying to prevent it. Scientific studies recommend a whole food, plantbased diet. This means focusing on
organic vegetables, fruits, beans, and grains. In terms of animal protein, strive for organic and grass-fed beef, organic and free-range poultry, and wild-caught fish. Such an approach focuses on the cleanest, healthiest foods on the planet, full of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
This nutritional approach is anticancer, while also reducing your risk of developing other chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s.
If you would like more information on the topic of cancer nutrition, as well as many other aspects of cancer treatment and prevention, please check out my books. Cancer Secrets is an Amazon bestseller, currently in its second edition. Fasting From Cancer is my newest book, released last year. Both books are available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle versions.
