SELECTING FLOORING PRODUCT WITHOUT CONSIDERING YOUR NEEDS AND LIFESTYLE There is no universal “one size fits all” flooring choice. Remember to factor in components such as traffic, pets, kids, etc. Take the time to determine which product will best meet your lifestyle, budget, desired appearance, and maintenance. Our consultants can introduce you to products you have not considered or did not know existed.

2

NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU ARE BUYING With hundreds of different products to choose from, choosing new flooring can be a daunting task. We help you to get the best quality product for your budget. All flooring is different. The more you know, the easier it will be to make the best choice for your home.

3

CHOOSING BASED ON A SMALL SAMPLE Deciding on the right color and shade of your new floor is very important. You want it to complement your home and décor. It is very difficult to get an accurate idea of what a color will look like based on a 2-inch sample. Whenever possible, use a larger piece of sample flooring to really see how the color will work in your home.

Dr. Azi Nia breaks the mold of traditional dentistry with her 3D playground at Nia Pediatric Dentistry.

By Barbra Buoy

Dr. Azi Nia is on a mission to overhaul the reputation of dentists. “The father of one of my patients is a

The fearfulness often associated with visiting the dentist can start in childhood, and parents can inadvertently pass their fears along to their children. To ease the anxiety of her young patients, Dr. Azi created a fanciful child’s paradise with JOLLY RANCHER-colored walls covered in cartoon murals, life-size animals lounging in the waiting room, toys and games galore, TVs above the chairs, and a playroom for younger kids. “I designed this office. Every element of the design incorporates the child’s perspective and caters to their needs while boasting the most advance technology,” Dr. Azi says.

“We want to change the fear of dentistry. We focus on preventive care using the latest technology in a fun and friendly environment.”

Dr. Azi earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia [now known as Augusta University]. She completed a three-year residency at Children’s Hospital Colorado, one of the top children’s hospitals in the nation, where she also served as chief resident. Shortly thereafter, she received the status of Diplomate by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Azi has lived in her beloved East Cobb for more than 20 years along with her husband, Dr. Farshid Nia, and their two children, Shervin and Leena.

WHO SAID KIDS CAN’T HAVE FUN WHILE VISITING THEIR DENTIST? — DR. AZI

The Nia Pediatric Dentistry family recently welcomed its newest member, Dr. Ara Cho. “She has the same philosophy as me about how to treat children and family,” Dr. Azi says. “And in our office, we’re all one team—including the parents—working together to give kids the best possible experience.”

Dr. Cho received her Doctor of Dental Medicine at the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston in 2010, and a Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry at Lutheran Medical Center in Providence, Rhode Island in 2012.

From there, she worked in private practice for five years in Chicago. “I was very impressed with Dr. Cho’s credentials, particularly her board certification,” Dr. Azi says. “We are happy that Dr. Cho decided to join our office.” niadentistry.com, 1111 Johnson Ferry Rd., 770-479-9999.

Joe Washington TV HOST • MASTER GARDENER • HOMEBODY

By Katherine Michalak

Joe Washington dug into a broadcasting career long before he found himself hosting “Groundbreakers” on HGTV. Raised in Washington state, he studied communications and broadcast journalism at The Evergreen State College, and, as he says, “learned the business by getting thrown into the deep end of the pool. I was able to take a tool I had, my voice, and put it to use.”

In 1976, he joined Atlanta’s original 11Alive team as a weekend news anchor and reporter.

Eight years later, Joe became a sports anchor at the station. He eventually shifted to freelance, quickly building a portfolio of corporate work, hosting, acting, and voiceovers. Then, in 1999, the “Groundbreakers” job sprouted in his path bringing a familiar hobby into the spotlight for him. “My parents were avid gardeners and it was part of my regular chore list,” he remembers. “When I became a homeowner myself, I embraced it too.” The series aired for 13 seasons with Joe hosting and absorbing the details of projects featured.

[

JOE WASHINGTON DEVELOPED A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ATLANTA HOME SHOW AS A PRESENTER, AND BEGAN LEARNING ABOUT

[

AGING-IN-PLACE RENOVATION INCLUDING ADAPTIVE GARDENING.

Joe plans to stay in his East Cobb home. “It was rural when I moved here [35 years ago]. I wanted privacy out of the city. My subdivision has great diversity and I like the way the whole county has grown in that respect.” Around the area, Joe enjoys Zamá Mexican Cuisine & Margarita Bar and breakfast at Reveille Café. “I like to eat really good food, but I’m mostly a homebody. So, I cook and grill year round.”

He can often be spotted at The Home Depot off Shallowford Road envisioning his next home improvement project. Joe also serves on the board for the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension – Cobb County, which facilitates the largest master gardener organization in Georgia. As for what’s blooming in his future, Joe proclaims this season of his life as one of “figuring out what’s next … every day is an adventure!” joewashingtonspeaks.com

Afterward, Joe continued freelancing, but his green thumb led him to earn master gardener certification. “I’d rather be puttering around the yard than puttering around the golf course,” he quips. He developed a relationship with the Atlanta Home Show as a presenter, and began learning about aging-in-place renovation including adaptive gardening. “People want to stay in their own homes, so I delved into research on aging-in-place. … It’s difficult if you have challenging terrain or don’t have the right tools.”

Mindy Strich H E A L E R • C O N F I D A N T • S U RV I V O R

By Jennifer Colosimo

When Mindy Strich was just a child, her infant brother passed away. At the age of 25, she lost her mother.

Six months prior to that, she started having heart problems that led to countless doctors visits, numerous diagnoses and as many treatments—none offering any relief. Then, 25 years later, her husband left and a very scary episode with her heart landed her in the hospital with still no answers.

Desperate to find one, she found herself at a healing circle learning about energy medicine from Dr. Fernand Poulin, founder and director of WhiteWinds Institute. Answers within reach, she enrolled in his 2-year program that not only healed her heart, but also changed her life and inspired her to do the same for others.

“What people don’t realize is that physical and emotional pain is often related to deeper issues,” says Mindy, now a certified biofield therapist and owner of Healing Hearts, LLC in East Cobb. Her health issues were related to her deep fear of abandonment, as the people she loved always left. “Pain, illness and disease can often be the result of an imbalance of energy.

What happens in your body often begins in your mind, and the thoughts you think can have a major impact on your health.”

WHAT PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE IS THAT PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL

PAIN IS OFTEN RELATED

DEEPER ISSUES.

TO

Biofield therapy, also known as energy healing, is a type of complementary medicine that helps get to those root causes of pain and illness. It restores balance and renews the flow of energy to facilitate the body’s natural ability to heal itself—an accomplice for conventional healthcare, and a proven, effective way to treat and prevent a variety of other health conditions.

“There’s a difference between curing someone, and actually healing them,” says Mindy, who works with doctors doing seminars, workshops and healing clinics throughout Atlanta. “Until we acknowledge that we are more energy than matter, more than a physical body, we can never fully heal. Healing works. And I know I could help more people inside hospitals and medical practices.”

When she’s not healing the world, you can find Mindy partaking in a different type of therapy—retail therapy, that is. One of her go-to boutiques is Casabella. And after shopping, you can find her at Red Sky Tapas & Bar or Seed Kitchen & Bar. mindystrich.com

Morbid Obesity: Weight Loss That Works

A

major focus of our practice is the treatment of morbid obesity. Morbid obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of at least 30kg/m2. BMI is calculated by weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.

Today, obesity has reached epidemic levels in the United States, and also in developing countries.

The cause of obesity is multifactorial and includes a complex interplay of energy-rich diets, limited physical activity, and hormonal, psychological, and genetic factors. There are many associated illnesses of obesity. These associated illnesses affect essentially every organ system.

The cardiovascular system is affected by high blood pressure, diabetes, ischemic heart disease and peripheral vascular disease, high cholesterol, strokes, and venous insufficiency. The respiratory system is affected by asthma, and obstructive sleep apnea. Gastroesophageal reflux, fatty liver disease, gallstones, and colorectal cancer affect the gastrointestinal system. The musculoskeletal system is affected by osteoarthritis, back pain, and disc disease. The neurologic system is impacted by pseudotumor cerebri, carpal tunnel syndrome, and depression. The reproductive system is affected by polycystic ovarian syndrome, fetal abnormalities, prostate, ovarian and breast cancer. With such an exhaustive list of various illnesses, one can clearly appreciate the fact that obese patients are at an increased risk of early death compared to their aged-matched control cohorts with normal body mass index.

The treatment of morbid obesity therefore requires a multidisciplinary approach as well as, close follow-up and a willingness to adapt and combine treatment modalities. In our practice, we employ surgical and nonsurgical options. Patients must demonstrate that they have failed diets and other weight-loss programs before we offer surgical options.

Our pharmacologic treatments include Phentermine, Phendimetrazine, Qsymia®, Belviq®, Contrave®, and Saxenda®. Our endoscopic treatments include the gastric balloon and endoscopic plication. Surgical options are generally employed when less invasive modalities have failed to achieve significant weight loss. We offer the laparoscopic or robotic vertical sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and duodenal switch. Our patients are enrolled in a nationwide database, which provides valuable information that leads to best-practice standards. Our minimally invasive approach leads to a quicker recovery, less pain, less scarring, and improved cosmetic results when compared to the open approach.

After We realize that such a recalcitrant disease requires vigilance and persistence at therapeutic interventions. Patients who initially lose at least 50% of their excess weight may regain a significant amount of the weight loss. Without long-term monitoring, patients who initially were considered cured of their associated illnesses may redevelop their associated medical conditions. Revision surgery is an option for patients that are willing to accept the risks of reoperative surgery and pledge to adhere to a healthy lifestyle and behavior modification. Unfortunately, the perfect treatment option for all morbidly obese patients does not exist. Areas of research include hormones, bacterial flora of the colon, endoscopic devices to limit absorption of calories, medications that enhance energy expenditure and procedures to alter the digestive anatomy. At the Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgery Institute, we are dedicated to the treatment of morbid obesity using both surgical and nonsurgical options.

Our surgeons at Laparoscopic & Endoscopic Surgery Institute, P.C. have over 25 years of experience in management of a wide array of bariatric Brendon Curtis, MD Michael D. Williams, MD, FACS and general surgical issues. They have both undergone extensive specialty training that has enabled them to incorporate cutting-edge technology and advanced minimally invasive techniques into their care for patients. Services offered include medical and surgical weight-loss options. Our general surgical services also cover a range of conditions, including gallbladder disease, acid reflux, hernias, small intestinal and large intestinal conditions, any lumps or bumps (e.g., lipomas, cysts) and more.

OUTDOOR LIGHTING

Q

What are the best types of lights to install for security?

A

Almost all lighting functions well for deterring criminals. If there is a choice between a dark house or a well-lit house, chances are, the dark house will be more enticing. Although we install low-voltage landscape lighting, there are some traditional security applications that we can use such as downlighting from the soffits on the corners of the house and from Lindsey Rodericks trees.

What is “the big glass revolution?”

Now, more than ever, homeowners can blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living with oversize glass doors.

Q

Is there a certain time of year when it's best to paint the exterior of my home?

A

The best time to paint is when temperatures are between 70 and 80 degrees. Because of this, apart from occasional rainstorms, we find that March and September are often Charlie Dallavalle ideal months to go for a new exterior paint color.

Q

How do I know what waterproofing system will work best for my basement?

A

Water that enters a basement through or underneath a poured concrete or block foundation wall can usually be resolved with either an interior or exterior waterproofing system.

Exterior systems involve Derek Ritchie excavating and replacing the original foundation drain. Interior systems involve developing a trench from inside the home and providing a pathway for water flow under the basement slab. Most customers prefer the lower cost and lifetime warranty of the interior system, while others prefer to simply manage the water from the exterior.

Q A

How often should I mow for a lush lawn?

Most Atlantans have winter dormant Bermuda or zoysia grass that will begin actively growing around April. Once your green is in full swing, a great rule of thumb is to mow each week, occasionally mowing less during dry bouts. Make sure not to scalp the grass (cutting too far down to the root), taking no more than a third of the blade off Evan Rogers and Pete Wilkerson each time you trim.

Q

What is the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?

A

Solid hardwood consists of a singular piece of wood that is sensitive to moisture and must be nailed to a wooden subfloor. Engineered flooring is still real wood, it is just fashioned out of different layers to be more dimensionally stable (you can glue it down) and better at dealing with damp places like basements Elisabeth Stubbs and bathrooms.

Q

How do you lift concrete without impacting the surrounding structure?

A

The lifting process is minimally invasive, done by injecting either Portland cement and agricultural lime or polyurethane under the concrete. The material you choose fills any void and then starts to lift. This injection process is continued until the desired height is achieved. By using this process, very little disturbance is made to the surrounding area.

FOUNDATION REPAIR

A

Properly maintained gutters serve a critical role in reducing the impact of heavy rains. Damaged systems can send torrents of water burrowing through the soil around your home, endangering the foundation and resulting in costly repair work.

Additionally, clogged gutters with pools of Chad Cruce standing water can lead to rot in the structures they are fixed to. The bottom line? Healthy gutters equal a healthy home!

PLUMBING

A

You should never replace your entire foundation. Full replacement is incredibly expensive and far more damaging to your home. Fortunately, foundation settlement and wall damage issues are easy to spot early on, so extreme measures don’t have to be taken. Once problem areas are Tom DiGregorio and Joe Rusk identified, we can provide custom-designed wall stabilization and lifting solutions to ensure your home remains permanently stable.

Q

How much water can you save with low-flow toilets/showers?

A

Saving you up to 12.2 gallons of water a day, low-flow toilets use around 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf), whereas older toilets commonly use 3.5 to 7 gpf. Low-flow showerheads are also a worthwhile investment, using around 2 gallons per minute (gpm) compared to the 3 or 4 gpm of older Jerry Hall showerheads. Over the course of a 10-minute shower, this can save you 10 to 20 gallons!
