Ring in the New Year and put your Best Congratulations Face Forward! Elisa! After all of the holiday fun we immediately think of getting ourselves back into shape, but keep in mind that your skin is the first thing that gets noticed. Our recommendation for vibrant, healthy skin is our exfoliating glycolic treatment that melts away fine lines and encourages collagen production. Choose from either our 30 minute “lunchtime” glycolic peel ($50), or our 90 minute anti-aging glycolic facial ($85) The TAC will be happy to schedule your reservation with our licensed aesthetician Paula Aghoian. Please stop by or call the TAC at 632-1676. _____________________________

Our TBAY Tampa Palms swimmers are filled with amazing talent. Aside from being tagged as competitive swimmers, they are also outstanding achievers in the field of academics. Club Member and swimmer Elisa Berson strives high in both worlds. (Academics and Swimming) Elisa was selected as a finalist in Florida for the 2010 Wendy’s High School Heisman (WHSH). “The WHSH program has set the standard for high school studentathletes, and gained tremendous prestige in its own right as the program combines the best of high school athlete and academic awards. Each fall, the WHSH recognizes the nation’s most esteemed high school senior men and women for excellence in academics, athletics, and community/school leadership. Students from across the country become involved in the WHSH program because these prestigious student recognition awards highlight their accomplishments and the winning students are showcased on a national level.”
Our Winter/ Spring Program will feature five, 4-week sessions. We will be accepting payment on a monthly basis, and also have a “drop in” rate which will be offered on a space available basis. We are looking forward to having all of our talented pro’s be a part of the Junior Tennis Academy classes to ensure the participants get the most out of each and every lesson.

Tennis Tip of the Month Things are always as they “seam!” How many times have you been told to “watch the ball” prior to executing your perfect forehand, backhand, volley or serve? And how many times have you taken your eye off the ball when you really thought your were watching it all the way through? Continued on page 15
Congratulations Elisa!

A mistake that many players make is that they only watch the ball up to a certain point before they take their eyes off it to see where it is going! When that happens your perfect shot becomes a mis-hit and your shot is compromised.
Our esteemed panel of judges will award winners for best Chili, Salsa and team spirit. In addition, a People’s Choice winner will be determined by guest votes. Members and non-members are encouraged to enter their best Chili and/or Salsa.
A great way to really keep your eye on the ball is to try to look at the seams on the ball as you make contact. This enables you to actually keep your head still a little longer and watch the ball to its point of contact. It sounds simple, but it really works! Try it and you’ll see that....on the tennis court....”things are always as they “SEEM!
The events of the day also include chili and salsa samples, live music, bounce house and games for kids, as well as adoptable pets from the Humane Society’s Mobile Adoption Center.

Business article Like a good wine, aging can now be better in years to come.
H
ave you heard the phrase, “Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life”, first penned by Herbert Henry Asquith? As we age, many of us have the time and resources to enjoy our lives, but do not have the physical stamina or energy to live life fully.
We have been told that aging is a natural process that can lead to fatigue, negative bodily changes, weight gain, lack of sleep, and loss of sexual drive. While the clock cannot be stopped, it is possible to slow it down by providing the body with the building blocks needed to restore vitality. These building blocks often involve Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), proper nutrition and regular exercise. The medical community once believed that our bodies’ hormone levels decrease because we age. Now, it has become clear that our
Palms Magazine
bodies age because hormone levels decrease. Both men and women are subject to these age-related issues. A bioidentical hormone has an identical chemical and molecular structure to the hormones that our bodies produce. Given that, bioidentical hormones have the same biological effects and cause the same physiological responses. Hormones that are non-bioidentical can either be synthetic or horse hormones, which tend to have far greater unwanted side effects. BHRT helps re-establish hormonal balance in a natural way without causing unpleasant side effects. Health benefits include improving lipids and cholesterol levels, enhancing energy, improving quality of sleep, balancing mood, and maintaining brain functions, as well as helping to prevent osteoporosis, maintaining bone density, reducing body fat, and maintaining proper muscle mass.
The goal of synthetic hormone therapy was to alleviate symptoms, such as hot flashes and mood swings. With BHRT, the goal is longevity and quality of life and providing the same protective health benefits as our own natural hormones used to provide. If you answer yes to one or more of these symptoms, BHRT may be for you: Increased Body Fat, Mood Swings, Thinning Hair, Sexual Disinterest, Memory Loss, Irregular Menstrual Cycle, Headaches, Fatigue, Depression, Reduced Libido, Hot Flashes, Insomnia, Reduced Cognitive Functions, Erectile Dysfunction, Loss of Muscle Mass & Osteoporosis. Testosterone begins to deplete in most men at 25 and hormonal imbalance may occur in women at 35. Discuss with your doctor your desire to find out the extent of your hormonal imbalance. Testing required could involve saliva, blood,
January 2011
or urine (or a combination of the three) and the results should be interpreted by a physician who has experience in BHRT customizing a treatment plan so that an accredited pharmacy can compound the specific mixture and dosage level your body requires. Unfortunately, many physicians treat only the obvious symptoms. By properly addressing the underlying cause-hormonal imbalance--a person’s quality of life and overall well-being can be greatly enhanced now and for years to come. Tampa Rejuvenation’s premiere physician, Caroline Van SantCrowle M.D. is an expert in Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. She is known for her work with Suzanne Somers on her book, Knockout.
