Submitted Will Smith’s latest film “Concussions” brought a serious problem to light for professional athletes, but what happens when your son or daughter experiences a head injury? For Austin Hubbard “Concussions” was a real-life experience. During a Plant High School baseball game, the 17-year-old collided with another player in the outfield and was seriously injured. As the other player raced to catch the ball, his mouth hit Austin’s jaw and Austin’s face was badly torn up. Not only did Austin need surgery and stitches to repair his jaw, but he also sustained a severe concussion. A neurologist recommended that Austin and his family see Dr. Westerfield, a concussion expert and sports medicine physician from Florida Orthopaedic Institute. Austin was seen

Nurse practitioner Jenny Molloy is a Westchase Fairy Godmother, granting returned youth through the magic of science. It seems appropriate that the place where Jenny, in her starched white lab coat, waves her magic wand and erases the lines of time from your face is called 3 Wishes Aesthetics. Located at 11059 Countryway Boulevard, the tenants of her practice
comes threefold – look well, feel well, live well and it is also the hot pink tagline on her business card. “When people look better, they feel better. When they feel well, they live better,” said Jenny. “My children call me the fairy godmother of a 15year decade, so I had to come up with a name that was a little whimsical, but yet had some deep-rooted meeting for the practice.”

The hand-laid front desk is adorned with thousands of shiny pennies and the receptionist greets you with a friendly smile. The air is diffused with calming essential oil, relaxing seascapes play softly in the background, walls are adorned with commissioned artwork and the shelves are filled with unique spiritual jewelry, candles and everything that is good for your mind and body. A visit to Pranique can refresh a tired soul. In October 2015, Pranique opened at 400 Race Track Road, to become the antithesis of the demanding, fast-paced existence you face every day. Two determined women made it their goal to help you de-stress, detox, and relax. Named from combining Pranic and unique, from the vision of entrepreneurs Pranique instructor Nicole Fouche and Pranic Healer Charity Carollo was birthed a haven where men, women, and children can find emotional, physical, and spiritual healing in a quiet space that offers meditation, yoga, Pranic Healing and holistic therapies. Two holistic therapies include a Cocoon, an Infrared Sauna Bed that closes with only your head outside. Warm infrared light penetrates to heal and detoxify. An Aqua Massage Bed offers a dry full body massage through the use of pressurized water, and can increase circulation and help with pain.

Yoga Nidra reaches your subconscious, relaxes, rejuvenates and renews your mind and body. Hot Box Yoga, done alone or with a friend, combines infrared sauna therapy with yoga, to detoxify your body, boost your immune system, and reduce pain. “A lot of men are doing Hot Box yoga,” said Charity. “As yoga is becoming more mainstream, we are seeing men doing Hot Box, Cocoon, and Aqua.” She is particularly excited about a new Tuesday and Thursday yoga class. “We’ve started Aerial Yoga,” she said. “It’s so fun to swing and I love the workout you get from Aerial Yoga.” To achieve a full body workout, Aerial Yoga involves performing a series of exercises inspired by yoga, Pilates, calisthenics and aerial acrobatics in a hammock-like apparatus.

Prosperity targets the lower chakras.

The Man Cave Warehouse – The Game Room Starts Here! By Kim Thomas The Man Cave Warehouse, located at 8811 North Gunn Highway in Odessa, is the perfect place to shop for “Man Cave” furnishings, but this gal thinks the sign also should read “She Shed” because there is something for everyone here! The store may be housed inside a huge “manly” warehouse but inside it is gorgeous with hundreds of chandeliers and lighting fixtures (both indoor and outdoor) on display and wall-to-wall fun throughout the 5,000-sq.-ft. showroom, with everything you need to complete a game room that will bring years of entertainment! If you are considering adding a game room to your home or updating from the ping-pong table, then get over to The Man Cave Warehouse. Family owned and operated by the Klopf family since they opened the store in 1999, The Man Cave Warehouse delivers and sets up all over the state of Florida. “My son’s store may well be the largest in the Southeast United States,” said Al Klopf, Sr., who is semi-retired but still works part-time at The Man Cave Warehouse in Odessa. It is possible to

meet three generations of the Klopf family at the family-ran business. Al Klopf Jr. and his wife Jeroline own and oversee operations at the Odessa location, and their sons Carson, Cody and Canyon have grown up learning the business and helping customers. Candy is an employee whose hard work and knowledge are valued by the family and their customers. Al and Jeroline’s oldest son Carson is now the owner/operator of The Man Cave Warehouse in Orlando, which features a 3,000-sq.-ft. showroom. If you are looking for quality, white glove delivery and competitive prices, The Man Cave Warehouse is the place to shop. “We sell quality products at a great price and provide the best, personalized service in the industry,” says Al Jr. “We want to earn your business.” Canyon is the youngest of the Klopf clan, but this kid knows his family’s business! Canyon’s enthusiasm was genuine as he pointed out the cool hidden features that many of the billiards tables and game room furnishings have – like the benches for the dining/billiards tables that provide storage for cues and racks and the billiards tables with hidden
storage underneath for everything needed for the game, keeping your living space uncluttered. First walking in to The Man Cave Warehouse, my eye was drawn to a pool table that was rustic, yet modern. Looking around, I realized there were three or four tables in that style alone. If your taste leans more classic or ornate, The Man Cave Warehouse has what you are looking for. Some brands offered include Legacy Billiards, Presidential Billiards, Olhausen Billards, California House, Outdoor Billiards and Excaliber Billiards. Legacy Billiards has awarded The Man Cave Warehouse with its “Diamond

Dealer” award for the past five years and running. There are gaming tables of every kind, including multipurpose dining/billiards tables that enable homeowners to transform their elegant dining room into an elegant billiards room, or if you’d prefer a dining/poker/craps table, you’ll find it at The Man Cave Warehouse! In addition to carrying the finest billiards tables in the world, The Man Cave Warehouse offers indoor and outdoor lighting, bars and barstools, high-end ceiling fans and custom fans, dart boards and accessories, and décor for your game room. Bar signs run the gamut from

neon, to classic, funny, and sports themed. The store is stocked for fun times! Al Sr. showed me the first allelectronic pinball machine, which boasts 426 different games!
The Man Cave Warehouse Earns Five Star Reviews Five star reviews are plentiful for The Man Cave Warehouse, and the excellent selection is another bonus! Whether you want to decorate a game room with the finest new furnishings offered worldwide or would like to spend less and purchase a slightly
used, quality table, be sure to visit The Man Cave Warehouse. Customer Dave Rose shares his five-star review, “Great selection of new and used pool tables. I purchased a used table, and they made sure it was in top shape. Brendan delivered and installed the table, including new felt, and he is clearly an expert at what he does. The table is perfect. The store has a great selection of “man cave” supplies... pretty much everything you need for billiards, darts, arcade games, furniture, lights, and lots of other great stuff. Prices seem competitive as
well. Basically, good quality for a good price, and great service.” Steven Fisher, another customers that gives The Man Cave Warehouse a five star review, states, “First rate all the way! We furnished an entire billiard room and could not be happier. Everything looks awesome. The staff was very patient and helped us select all our custom pieces. Delivery was white glove all the way. We also came back and got a video game.”
Game Rooms Create Fun Times and Great Memories

The Klopf family knows that playing pool, throwing darts, gathering at the card table is more than just fun and games; it’s a way to build personal skill, challenge your buddies, and most importantly, to bond with family and friends. Some of my favorite memories of visiting my grandparents were playing pool on Granddaddy Pat’s pool table. That pool table moved with him from Dover (near Plant City) to Apalachicola, and was a staple throughout my childhood into my adult years. During the happiest of times and the saddest, inevitably a game of pool would pull everyone

“FL Ortho” Continued from page 1 immediately and began his evaluation and treatment for his concussion symptoms. Using new computer software, ImPACT, Dr. Westerfield tested Austin’s memory, attention span, brain processing speed and reaction time to measure his post-injury symptoms and diagnose him properly. “Unlike most orthopedic injuries, you cannot always see the damage that has been done to the brain using an Xray or CT scan,” says Dr. Westerfield. “Doctors who are certified in ImPACT can evaluate the extent of the injury and we also can create a customized treatment plan for the individual.” ImPACT can help answer difficult questions about an athlete's readiness to return to play, protecting them from the serious consequences of returning too soon, which helped Austin’s mother feel better about his return to baseball. While traditional neurological and radiologic procedures such as CT, MRI and EEG are helpful in identifying many serious concerns such as skull fractures, hematoma and contusions, they are not as useful in identifying the effects of concussion.

SEPTEMBER 2016
“The ImPACT testing made me more comfortable and open to sending Austin back into the game only when I knew for sure that he was ready,” says Mrs. Hubbard. “I also appreciated Dr. Westerfield’s concern and patience with Austin. He answered all my questions and made sure that Austin did not get back onto the field before he was ready.” Submitted in 17 local schools, and they provide a physician on the sidelines at all high school games. This way, student athletes receive the same quality of care as the professional athletes that they aspire to be. Common signs and symptoms of concussions include: headache, temporary loss of consciousness, confusion, dizziness, nausea, fatigue and sensitivity to light and noise. Dr. Westerfield notes, “If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms after head trauma, the best chance for a safe recovery is to take them to a concussion specialist, and if available in your area, an orthopedic urgent care facility is best.” Florida Orthopaedic Institute’s urgent care centers (located in Citrus Park and South Tampa) provide the community with highly trained orthopedic physicians for emergency care. This way, if injury occurs, pa-
tients can avoid long lines at emergency rooms and see a doctor with expertise in orthopedics, sports medicine and concussions. “I feel better knowing more about concussions because of this experience. I know more now so I can better protect myself and recognize the symptoms in myself and my teammates, and now I know where to go for help too,” said Austin.
Signs & Symptoms of a Concussion If your child has experienced a bump or blow to the head during a game or practice, you should be attentive and look for signs of a concussion. Symptoms reported by the athlete may include any of the following: Headache or “pressure” in head; nausea or vomiting; balance problems or dizziness; double or blurry vision; sensitivity to light; sensitivity to noise; feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy or groggy; concentration or memory problems; confusion; just “not feeling right” or “feeling down.” Signs of concussion that may be observed by the parents/guardians
For Ad Info 813-928-6124 • NNLFlorida.com
may include any of these: Appears dazed or stunned; is confused about assignment or position; forgets an instruction; is unsure of game, score, or opponent; moves clumsily; answers questions slowly; loses consciousness (even briefly); shows mood, behavior, or personality changes. If you think your teen has a concussion, don’t try to assess it yourself. Take him or her out of play and seek the advice of a health care professional. It’s better to miss one game than the whole season. You can visit Florida Orthopaedic Institute’s Citrus Park location at 6117 Gunn Highway or visit the website floridaortho.com for more information. Florida Orthopaedic Institute’s offices are open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday mornings for MRIs. Call 1 (800) FL-ORTHO to make an appointment or talk to a staff member.

“3 Wishes” Continued from page 1 In 2007, Jenny spent 6 months putting her ideas on a grease board, trying to devise the perfect design. She launched 3 Wishes Aesthetics in Harbor Island and relocated to Westchase in 2012. At 3 Wishes Aesthetics, Jenny does facial rejuvenation and artistry. Wielding the tiniest of a needle, she helps the evidence of the aging process virtually disappear. “I use my art to help people look better with my tools being Botox, dermal-fillers, and skin care.” A customer will come to a 30minute no-pressure consultation and if they chose to get treatment, complete paperwork and receive selected service immediately following the initial meeting. Jenny doesn’t tell the clients what she sees needs improvement; rather, she hands them a mirror and asks what bothers them. “As women, we can spend hours nitpicking on what we see. I ask the client what is your goal? What would you like to improve? When they show me, then I share what I can do for them. We talk about what kind of
16
SEPTEMBER 2016
outcomes they can expect, price, how long it lasts – overall, what to expect with the treatment.” Jenny refuses to allow the work she does on her clients to be glaringly obvious that they had work done. Rather, she stresses subtlety, aiding in the natural hiding of the lines and furrows, and using the art of dermalfillers to enhance cheeks, downturned mouths, and lips that have lost their youthful fullness. Her magic is
considered achieved when the woman feels rejuvenated, but not overdone. “My philosophy is if you’ve had good work done, no one is going to notice it. Most people don’t want you knowing what they had done. That is my goal too. I want my patients walking out of here looking refreshed and beautiful, feeling really good about themselves, having had some time given to them and spent with them. We never want someone to ask, ‘eww, what did you do?’ “ Despite her services not always taking a full 60 minutes, each session
For Ad Info 813-928-6124 • NNLFlorida.com
is booked for one hour, allowing for a relaxing, unhurried treatment. Jenny’s perceives her services as a form of women’s health. “My practice is based on based on taking care of women and most women don’t want to come in here, be rushed and leave. They want to chat and might want to add something, so I give them that time.” And there is nothing cookiecutter about 3 Wishes Aesthetics. Jenny customizes every treatment for each patient. “I listen to the patient and let them direct their treatment

plan.” With competition strong in the field, Jenny feels she stands out in several areas. “It’s my years of experience. I don’t do anything halfway, my prices are good, but more than that it’s my personal touch,” said Jenny. “I developed a special technique using dermal fillers to lift a saggy, downturned mouth, I call it mouth rejuvenation, beautiful, comfortable and less chance of a bruise.” The most common request Jenny receives is for Botox, to relax frown lines, forehead lines, and crows’ feet.
Neighborhood News & Lifestyles
An estimated 17 million people use Botox injections as a temporary solution to the permanence of aging. With the tension of the upcoming holidays now looming in front of her patients, Jenny is offering a Microneedling Skin Pin special to refresh, restore and get skin glowing. (During the month of September, Jenny is offering a discount on the Dynamic Duo of skin care. SkinPen Microneedling + Life Line ProPlus + Night cream, reg $491.00 for $420.00). Every six to eight weeks, skin cells replace themselves and each time the
do, they age a bit. On top of natural aging, there is the sun and environmental exposure that age skin even more. Micro-needling makes miniscule micro-channels in the skin that reprogram the cells to act and look younger. The new cells that come in are actually better and healthier. “No heat, no chemicals,” said Jenny. “It’s very safe and painless. It feels more like vibration on the skin. Micro-needling tightens, brightens, and builds collagen. It improves overall skin health. It can even treat scars. The downtime is no makeup for 24 hours and you might be a little red when you leave.” Jenny also provides her patients with skincare products like Lifeline Pro Plus that she diligently researched and uses to increases the positive results of her facial artistry services. In addition to Botox, dermalfillers and micro-needling, Jenny offers
another non-evasive treatment, Microcurrent that reduces under eye puffiness, sagging jowls, double chins and droopy eyebrows. She also offers an array of skin treatments including chemical peels and hydrating, anti-aging facials with names like Champagne Fizz and Sweet Treat Honey Facial. When asked what she enjoyed most about healing skin as a career, she did not hesitate to respond: “The people. I like taking care of people.” For more information or to make an appointment, call 813.852.1200 or visit 3wishesaesthetics.com. 3 Wishes Aesthetics is located at 11059 Countryway Boulevard and is open Monday and Wednesday, 10am to 5pm, with late hours available Tuesday and Thursday, 10am to 7pm.
