DISCOVERIES
A VIGOROUS INVESTMENT ‘Health is wealth’ is a mantra audiologist Ann Rasmussen and financial planner Eric M. Marvin take to heart at their new Health & Wealth Co. on Fifth Avenue South in Naples. Combining their skills and interests, the two created a wellness hub that offers financial and physical health services, as well as a retail space for cannabidiol (CBD) products, organic skincare, vitamins and other healthful goods. “I’ve always believed that you can’t enjoy your wealth if you can’t enjoy your health,” Marvin says. Run by a team of six—including doctors, nurses and nutritionists—the company offers services from audiology to acupuncture to estate planning. In a single visit, you can sort out estate and insurance assets in the glass-enclosed office that anchors the space, connect with a functional medicine doctor for micronutrient testing and hook up to an IV drip for a quick vitamin B-packed energy boost. Inspirational quotes on the walls reinforce the philosophy, like an oh-so-fitting sentiment from writer Josh Billings that says, “Health is like money, we never have a true idea of its value until we lose it.” Look out for events like ladies’ nights with free consultations, by-donation yoga classes and monthly guided meditations. —Jaynie Bartley

SMELL THE ROSES Here’s a better, cleaner way to indulge in mood-boosting aromatherapy. Naples-based Lymarie Jimenez recently launched Nokomis Home Fragrance, a line of handmade candles and linen sprays, named after her 4-month-old daughter. The inspiration for the eco-minded line came when Jimenez was out shopping for candles. Pregnant with what she calls her ‘miracle baby,’ who was conceived after two years of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, the soon-to-be-mom started questioning the ingredients in store-bought scents and thinking how they might affect the air her daughter would breathe. She also considered the waste associated with disposable jars, cotton wicks and cardboard packaging. To provide a better alternative for herself and others, Jimenez started making her own candles with clean-burning ingredients like coconut soy wax, sustainably sourced wood wicks (she works with One Tree Planted to ensure each purchase results in more greenery for the earth) and reduced waste (each candle is hand-poured into 12-ounce reusable jars). “That’s been really important to me,” Jimenez says. “This is technically a luxury item. You don’t actually need it, so if you’re going to buy it, you should feel good about it.” She created two Charity Edition scents, including the lightly fruity Hope and apricot wood-scented Dream candles, that benefit The Hope For Fertility Foundation, which helps families pay for infertility treatments. Other candles in the Signature Collection range from the Coffee Shop, with notes of espresso, cacao and vanilla bean, to the lively Southern Belle, made

with grapefruit, gardenia and tuberose. “When you light these candles, your whole house will smell great,” she says. —J.B.

FIELD OF DREAMS For a fitness routine to stick, you need it to be convenient, challenging and fun. Enter the long-anticipated Paradise Coast Sports Complex, which recently opened the first phase of its campus. The space packs everything from a fitness area with an obstacle course to pro-level soccer fields into its 180 acres. Here, you can catch a major event, sports tournament, food truck fare, a helluva workout and even a sampling of Shakespeare—all in one massive venue near Golden Gate in Naples. So not only can you bank on the benefits of physical activity, but also socializing and community-building—other essential tenets for optimal wellness. As for improving your physical prowess, this place inspires. Already, you can take advantage of the sleek-looking outdoor fitness area with challenging, innovative equipment—including a military-style obstacle course and open-air weight room—with no worries about the seasonal heat, as most facilities are shaded and cooled by Big Ass fans (yes, that’s the brand name). Other breezy spots for post-workout leisure include The Cove for drinks, snacks, games and live entertainment enjoyed lakeside, and The Great Lawn and Stadium for socially distanced special events. This summer, watch for two-day concert series over Independence and Labor Day weekends, plus plans for Shakespeare in Paradise outdoor theater performances. At completion, projected for early 2023, there will also be sports fields for baseball, softball, football, soccer, lacrosse and field hockey for local, state and national youth, collegiate and semi-pro teams. Consider this the ultimate training ground for all the current and future athletes in your clan. —Chelle Koster Walton

SEED TO SKIN Dr. Cyndi Yag-Howard, of Yag-Howard Dermatology & Aesthetic Center in Naples, teamed up with her daughter Aubrey Howard, a recent graduate from Duke University’s business school, to create Leaf it to Me, a line of nine plant-based products, manufactured locally. Guided by the idea that we should approach our skincare as we do our diet (if we strive for a balanced plate with nutritious ingredients, why not do the same for our skin?), she and her daughter crafted plant-centric formulas that treat and prevent issues, like acne, fine lines and dark spots, from the inside out. “It’s taking the best of what nature offers and allowing you to feed your skin with natural ingredients,” Yag-Howard says. This isn’t the first beauty line for the board-certified dermatologist, who specializes in natural-looking facial sculpting and aesthetic enhancements. After launching her now-defunct YH Naturally skincare in 2017, she wanted to raise the ante with Leaf it to Me, creating cleansers, toners, moisturizers and serums—most of which are made up of more than 95% natural ingredients. Among the products, there’s the Complexion Correction

Let’s face it: Many of us have all but forgotten how to go to the gym. Under the best of circumstances, it’s a challenge to make time for a cardio commute. But after the year we’ve had? Forget it. Even as we begin re-establishing old routines, the idea of taking a drive to visit a row of treadmills isn’t all that appealing. But thanks to VERSAGYM owner Carlos Garcia, you don’t have to. The Naples-area personal trainer and his fiancée Kate Terhaar are ready and willing to come to you with innovative fitness routines and nutritional know-how designed to get clients back on track. “We bring the gym to your house,” Garcia says. “We get rid of all of the scheduling snafus that affect fitness by coming to you. If you work late, we’ll come late. If you have kids, no problem. They can hang out. We try to make everything as convenient as possible, so there are no excuses.” The service is white-glove luxury with packages starting at $999

Dr. Kathryn Russell was already familiar with dermatology long before she got her medical degree. Like her mother, she’s fair-skinned with red hair—and at high risk for developing skin cancer. She’d go with her mom to the dermatologist in her hometown of Sarasota and admire the doctor’s work. In high school, she started shadowing dermatologists and before long, she knew her life’s calling. “I was lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do at a young age,” she says. Russell is now a board-certified dermatologist at The Woodruff Institute in Naples. She received her medical degree from the University of Florida College of Medicine. She served her residency in dermatology at New York Medical College and completed a fellowship in Mohs micrographic surgery down in Coral Springs at the Skin Institute. Preferring the less-crowded Gulf Coast to the eastern side of the state, she joined

KATHRYN RUSSELL
Woodruff about seven years ago. She performs a variety of noninvasive procedures, but her specialty is Mohs surgery. Developed by Dr. Frederic Mohs, the procedure is among the least invasive, but most effective ways to remove skin cancer. The main advantage lies in the precision—a trained Mohs surgeon can remove the cancerous cells while sparing as much of the healthy skin as possible. Mohs is typically done in a single visit, as a lab technician can analyze each layer of skin removed to confirm that the cancer is gone. Locally, she sees patients with skin cancer, even younger people who are reluctant to believe they’re already at risk. “People grew up here and they loved being in the sun,” she says. She recommends getting checked out early, especially if you have fair skin or a family history of skin cancer. Dermatologists can do a full-body exam to look for moles, but it’s always good to do a selfexam to locate any potential problems beforehand. (Dermatologists are good at letting you know whether that scary-looking mole is indeed scary or not.) On a day-to-day basis, she recommends staying cautious out in the Florida sun. Wear a hat, sunglasses, cover up as much as possible and reapply sunscreen (remember, SPF 30 or above) every two hours. The lesson: “Protect yourself as much as you can,” she says. But if that blemish does turn out to be scary, don’t fret. Treatments for skin cancer are progressing to the point at which the recovery rate is promising. “It’s not a death sentence anymore,” she says.

Bad sleep can cause high-blood pressure, weight gain and heart disease. Good sleep can cause a world of difference. “You can change someone’s life when you help them sleep better,” Dr. Fariha Abbasi-Feinberg, who specializes in sleep medicine at Fort Myers’ Millennium Physicians Group, says. “It affects the whole person.” By training, Abbasi-Feinberg is a neurologist, but she almost exclusively focuses on helping people get better sleep. Sleep medicine as a field of study is a relatively new idea, though it has progressed rapidly over the last half century as more research has emerged on sleep disorders and why they develop. And though there are now doctors like Abbasi-Feinberg who specialize in sleep, the demand for expert advice is still high. The doctor sees patients with issues including sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy and insomnia. Originally from Pakistan, Abbasi-Feinberg attended medical school at Hahnemann University in Philadelphia. She completed a residency in neurology and a fellowship in neurophysiology at the University of Maryland. She sits on the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and has lectured nationally on a variety of subjects. She’s relatively new to the area, arriving after a nearly 20-year career in North Carolina with her husband, who’s also a physician. Once their children were grown, they decided to make a move south. “We figured, ‘Life is an adventure,’” she says.
In her work, Abbasi-Feinberg finds that she has to dispel outdated myths about sleep medicine. It’s not like you have to come to a lab and have people watch you sleep while hooked up to monitors anymore. Most of her diagnoses can be done at home. As far as the technology goes, continuous positive airway pressure machines that help solve sleep apnea aren’t as intrusive as they once were. In fact, the new and popular Inspire device works like a CPAP machine, but without a hose or mask. Another device called the eXciteOSA is like a workout for the tongue. It may sound strange, but it actually strengthens the tongue muscles to avoid the root issues of sleep apnea altogether. “There’s a lot of options people aren’t aware of,” Abbasi-Feinberg says. The best bet to get better sleep, in general, is to just be more mindful of your days, she says. Avoid the blue light from devices right before bedtime, and be sure to get sunlight in the morning that can kickstart your body for the day. She says good sleep requires that extra mindfulness during the day.

OPHTHALMOLOGY
Dr. Victoria Chang grew up playing the piano. For her, there was something about using her hands to create music, the fingers moving in an exact way to produce beautiful melodies. She took that same idea to her work as a doctor. Chang specializes in cataract surgery and corneal disease and surgery at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Naples. Corneal transplant surgery is a procedure that requires intense focus and attention to detail. After all, we’re dealing with materials whose thickness is measured in microns. The process involves removing the cornea of a damaged eye with a small tool and stitching on the cornea from a donor eye. When successfully completed, the patient’s once-clouded vision can become perfectly clear again. But exactness and attention to detail are necessary

to make the surgery successful. “I love the precision of surgery,” Chang says. Chang is originally from Boca Raton and grew up with an interest in the sciences. She graduated from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine then went on to complete a residency in ophthalmology at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. She completed two fellowships: one in uveitis and ocular immunology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary at Harvard University, and another in cornea and refractive surgery at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, which consistently ranks as the top hospital for ophthalmology in the country. (U.S. News & World Report has put it at the top of its list for 17 years in a row.) The Naples location opened in 2015, and Chang joined shortly after. She’s enjoyed the Gulf Coast life with its vibrant dining scene and a more laidback feel compared to Miami. “I love it here,” she says. Naples’ demographic also means it’s a prime location for patients who have developed eye conditions. As technology progresses, she’s finding that patients have high expectations, but are also relatively surprised at the results. A surgery that once took a month of recovery and a lengthy hospital stay now only takes a few weeks before vision is fully restored. “Ophthalmology is always evolving. We have a lot to offer now,” Chang says. “We’re always trying to keep up with patient demands.” Shorter hospital stays? Fully restored vision? Once patients hear that, it’s like music to their ears.

When Dr. Evans Valerie was serving his residency in Brooklyn, New York, he saw the worst of what could happen to children: gunshot wounds, car accidents, drug overdoses. But for all the bad, he saw the good. He saw children survive. He was able to help them heal or even save their lives. He also connected with the kids, recognizing that a visit to the emergency room could be a turning point. “I realized I could make a difference,” he says. That drove his career as a surgeon who focuses on children. He’s worked for Lee Health and the Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida for about five years now. “It’s a great surgical team,” he says. “I really enjoy the job here.” Valerie’s family moved to New York City from Kingston, Jamaica, when he was a teenager. He was always drawn to the sciences and spent his childhood wondering whether he should be an astronaut, marine biologist or one of the many other associated careers kids fantasize about. When he was accepted to Brown University, he decided to pursue a medical degree. He served his surgery residency at State University of New York Downstate Medical Center, where his passion was solidified, then did a fellowship in pediatric surgery at the renowned Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. He spent about 15 years as a pediatric surgeon at Children’s Hospital New Orleans and served
on the surgical faculty of Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. Valerie jumped at the chance to relocate to Southwest Florida when he heard about Golisano Children’s Hospital, which was opening at the time. “The idea of being part of a new hospital was exciting,” he says. He enjoys the Southwest Florida lifestyle and the abundance of outdoor activities. On trips to the Caribbean, he’s also taken up sailing. As he looks to the future, Valerie is hopeful for the region’s growth and the increased focus on children’s health. He’d like to see Golisano get its own trauma ward, and see a push for more education on children’s safety. Much of what he sees and treats, he says, is preventable—car crashes where kids were not wearing seat belts, bike accidents where kids were not wearing helmets. “We can make our biggest impact with education,” he says.

ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY
Dr. Evgeny Krynetskiy grew up around the medical profession. His family immigrated to the United States from Russia when he was a child so his parents could continue their research in pediatric cancer. He felt that the medical profession was a calling and, like his parents, decided to make a living helping other people. Krynetskiy is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in foot and ankle surgery at Joint Implant Surgeons of Florida in Fort Myers. After growing up in Memphis, he attended Drexel University College of Medicine for his medical degree. During a residency at Shriners Hospitals for Children–Philadelphia, Krynetskiy saw patients from around the world who came seeking treatment for chronic ailments or deformities in their lower extremities. The work to alleviate their troubles inspired him to continue to specialize in foot and ankle surgery, leading him to complete a fellowship at Duke University Hospital. “I enjoy what I do. It’s complex; it’s not just

doing the same procedure over and over again,” he says. He arrived in Southwest Florida about eight years ago, focusing largely on elderly patients. In recent years, he’s specialized in using cutting-edge technology to help relieve foot and ankle pain. He was one of the first doctors locally to use the Lapiplasty bunion surgery procedure. Typically, bunion surgery involves cutting and shifting the bone inward. But the Lapiplasty process allows doctors to simply reposition the bone back to its original alignment and secure it with a titanium plate. This more natural procedure allows for quicker recovery. Patients can expect to put full weight back on their foot within days. Krynetskiy also frequently uses the NanoScope arthroscopy system, which was developed at Naples-based Arthrex. The NanoScope is a needle-sized camera system that can be used to diagnose or help repair joint issues. The tiny size also allows for minimal scarring. One of the main conditions that he discusses with patients is osteoporosis. Nearly one in 10 Americans older than the age of 50 have osteoporosis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Low bone density can lead to fractures and other painful ailments. Only so much can be done to prevent the softening of the bones as people age, so Krynetskiy encourages preventative measures, such as staying active, eating healthy and avoiding smoking and sugary drinks. He also encourages older patients to start getting bone-density testing. “[Osteoporosis] does happen, but we try to prevent it as much as possible,” he says.

Graduating with an undergraduate degree in bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, she then obtained her medical degree from the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. After her residency training at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, Maryland, she pursued further urological fellowship training at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, in urodynamics, voiding dysfunction, incontinence and pelvic floor reconstruction with a world renowned specialist. She was voted by her medical peers in 2011 and 2012 as a “Top Doctor” by Philadelphia Magazine and Castle Connolly.

Family Foot & Leg Center
Southwest Florida's Premier Podiatrist
Podiatry and Our Team Podiatric doctors are, in common terms, those who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of foot, ankle, and leg disorders due to disease or injury. The human foot has a complex interrelation with the rest of the human body, therefore it is usually the first place to show signs of serious conditions such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease. You depend on your feet, ankles, and legs for most daily activities so caring for them is important. If you are suffering from foot, ankle, or leg pain, don’t delay seeing a podiatrist as untreated ailments can often lead to more serious issues. Family Foot & Leg Center is a full-service foot and ankle surgery office providing diagnosis, surgical and nonsurgical treatment for various foot and ankle problems, such as bunions, heel pain, hammertoes, neuromas, ingrown toenails, sprains, infections, and fractures. Our award-winning doctors are held to the highest standard of double board certifications/qualifications and advanced training and are among the elite podiatry specialists in the United States.

A Guide to
Common Disorders
Ingrown Toenails
Heel Pain
An ingrown toenail is the result of the nails curving downward and growing into the skin, usually at the nail borders. This irritates the skin, creates pain, redness, swelling, and warmth in the affected toe. If a break is caused in the skin by an ingrown nail, bacteria may enter and cause the area around it to become infected. Even if you are not experiencing pain, your toe may still be infected. Never ignore an ingrown nail as a prolonged infection can spread and may lead to serious complications.
Heel pain is most often caused by the inflammation of the plantar fascia (plantar fasciitis), a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, hammertoes, tendonitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, nerve irritation or, rarely, a cyst. However, left untreated issues can begin to extend to the arch of the foot, or other parts of your leg. It is always recommended to have these injuries evaluated by ankle or foot specialists that can use X-rays, MRI, or diagnostic ultrasounds to diagnose a problem. For treatment, 85 to 90 percent of patients do well with conservative care.
Bunions Bunions come in different sizes and shapes. Signs and symptoms include a bump on the outside of the base of the big toe, swelling or redness around the big toe joint, and pain. Bunions commonly take years to form but eventually they can become so painful that even walking can be difficult. With all the different remedies available to ease bunion pain and prevent it from becoming worse – painkillers, shoes with wide toe boxes, bunion pads, shoe inserts, splints — surgery is still the most effective solution. Our doctors will discuss surgical and non-surgical options that best match your condition. Minimal Invasive Surgery (M.I.S) - Unlike the traditional surgical methods of removing a bunion, minimally invasive bunion surgery leaves very little, if any, scarring on the foot. A very tiny incision is made that requires only 1 or 2 stitches to close. Compared to a traditional bunionectomy, there is far less swelling, little to no pain, and a shorter recovery period allowing patients to return to their regular activities sooner.
Lapiplasty (3D bunion correction) - A 3D bunion correction means the procedure corrects the deformity in all 3 planes by addressing the root cause, resulting in permanent correction of the bunion. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, allowing patients to return home that same day. Minimal pain is associated with recovery. Patients can resume walking with a boot in two weeks for a duration of 6-8 weeks. Swelling and numbness are the most common occurrences after surgery. Swelling may last for up to a year. Numbness should resolve over time.
Foot Problems Caused by Diabetes One of the leading causes of foot problems is Diabetes. Blood flow to your feet is restricted making it difficult for your body to heal an injury or resist infection. Additionally, diabetes can cause nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) which takes away the feeling in your feet. This could lead to complications resulting in amputation. Our doctors are trained in Microsurgical Limb Reconstruction to treat patients with peripheral neuropathy. If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic, you should see a podiatrist every 6 months minimum! The Advanced Wound Healing Institute, located within every Family Foot & Leg Center, specializes in the treatment of chronic diabetic wounds. We use the latest wound care innovations to help keep patients out of the hospital and onto healing.
