hen it comes to health coverage, the USHEALTH Advisors family of companies understands that every customer has different needs. They believe in choice, and their customers truly value the array of options they provide because you can choose the protection that is most appropriate for you. To that end, they have developed a broad portfolio of coverages that promote customer choice. Their innovative product designs make the USHEALTH Advisors uniquely qualified to address each customer’s need for flexibility and reliability in their coverage selections.

For those of you who are either on a limited budget or are concerned about having to satisfy a high annual deductible before you receive any benefits from your health coverage plan, the company offers a portfolio of products which provide first dollar benefits for covered services and substantial network discounts across a broad spectrum of providers. These plans are typically more affordable than more comprehensive plans, while still providing the first dollar

protection and assurances that a limited protection plan offers.

Becky Brown is a Field Sales Leader for USHEALTH Advisors.

She is licensed in 12 different states and offices in Tulsa; and specializes in innovative life and health coverage solutions for selfemployed individuals, families, small business owners and their employees. “The health coverage plans we offer are quite unique.

Instead of presenting our clients with a selection of hard and fast plans and asking them to select the one which best fits their needs,” says Becky, “we ask our customers to tell us what they feel they need.

We then make recommendations and write a plan which addresses their concerns.

“Many customers begin with plan basics and add to it as their lives change over the years. Our plan designs are flexible to help you get the coverage you need, when you need it…and at a premium you can afford.” As you grow older or conditions change, USHEALTH Advisors will assist you in choosing optional supplemental coverage to enhance your overall protection in areas including, for example,

TULSA JUNE 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

Health & Wellness*, Critical Illness*, Accident*, Dental*, Accident Disability Income*, Life Insurance*, Specified Disease/ Sickness*, Short Term Accident Disability Income*, Income Protector*, and Vision Insurance*.

Becky and her expert team of advisors underwrite healthcare coverage through company subsidiaries, Freedom Life Insurance Company of America and National Foundation Life Insurance Company. “Our mission is the acronym H.O.P.E., Helping Other People Everyday,” she said.

Consultations are free and may be conducted by phone or in person.

Most businesses and individuals today are concerned by increasing healthcare costs. Becky’s confidence is in knowing that her organization is different and that her team is innovative, experienced, dependable, dedicated and convenient to residents in the greater Tulsa area.

When you call for information, you’ll be talking person-to-person rather than to a machine.

“My goal,” continued Becky, “is to make your plan better than what you’ve previously had. And if I

ecifically on your needs can’t provide you with a better plan, I’ll tell you to stay where you are, give you advice or steer you to someone whom I feel can help with the specific needs you’ve outlined.

“Please don’t let others tell you what you need. Tell me what you’re looking for and what will work for you. I’ll listen and write your policy to fill that need.

As your needs grow, we can add to your original plan.” Call today to arrange for your personal consultation. In a marketplace characterized by high customer turnover and low customer loyalty, USHEALTH Advisors differentiate themselves by creating longterm relationships with their customers, making a trusted ally that consistently delivers on its promise of dependability.

Pet Sitting Services of Tulsa co-owner Krista Keesling (left) said “the dogs always come first” with regards to her business. Keesling’s business partner is Jill Pratt (right), who handles much of the company’s marketing.

o assume that Krista Keesling and Jill Pratt are running “just another pet sitting service” would to bark up the wrong tree.

For Keesling and Pratt, dogs aren’t just their pastime; dogs are their passion.

“At Pet Sitting Services of Tulsa, the dogs come first – always,” Keesling said.

As to how Keesling and Pratt first got into business together, it’s hardly a shaggy dog story.

“I moved to Tulsa from California about five years ago, and four days after moving here, I met Jill at a networking group,” recalled Keesling. “She was the first person I ever met (in Tulsa), and we bonded over dogs. She literally looked at me and said, ‘You. Me. Lunch. Dogs.’ -there was just an instant connection between us, and she’s been the greatest friend to me ever since.”

Although both women were already working at the time, they bonded through their mutual love of dogs, and it was this that led to them going into business together.

“When I was in California, I had been involved in rescuing (dogs) for 20 years, but I never really did pet sitting. When my neighbors were out of town, I might look after their dogs, but that was the extent of my pet sitting experience,” she said, “but just a few days after I moved here (to Oklahoma), I got a phone call from someone who’d heard about me and knew that I did rescue.

From there, I started getting phone calls from people who’d heard about me and thought I might do pet sitting – even though I’d never really done that, I got started (pet sitting), and it just blossomed.”

Soon, word-of-mouth got out, and Keesling was inundated with the number of calls she was getting, requesting her to pet sit.

“Eventually, I went to Jill and said ‘I think someone’s trying to tell me something,’ so May 1, 2019, the duo founded Pet Sitting Services of Tulsa.

“We’re the ‘velvet glove’ of pet sitting services,” Keesling said. “We don’t do boarding but rather, one of our staff is sent to pet sit at the client’s house, which is more

comfortable for the animal – to be in their own environment instead of being kept in a kennel or somewhere unfamiliar while their owners are away.”

All pet sitters employed by Keesling and Pratt are interviewed extensively before being hired, to ensure they’re the “right fit” for the company.

“We don’t hire people who are just here because they want to make money – we only hire people that we hand-pick personally, people who love dogs the way we do, people who are comfortable around dogs, people who have the right disposition to interact with the animals – it’s better for the employees and for the dogs they sit,” Pratt said. “Whenever we get a client, we’ll dispatch potential sitters to the dog owner’s home for a ‘meet and greet’ between the dog and sitter to make sure it’s a good fit for both.”

But even more than the employees, Pratt said that it’s Keesling herself that separates their company from the rest of the pack.

“You’re not going to find anyone who cares more about the animals than Krista – her experience, her heart, her commitment to the animals – I’ve honestly never met anyone who has such a passion for caring for dogs the way she has,” Pratt said. “This isn’t to say that other people don’t, but she (Krista) has a connection with dogs that’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen – dogs that normally bite will get along with her – dogs take to her in a way I’ve never seen happen with anyone else.”

Pratt and Keesling accept clients

across Tulsa and the Tulsa metro areas and are excited to be “getting the word out” to others.

“We’ve been in business for about a month, and things are slowly picking up – the clients we’ve had just love us and what we do,” Pratt said. “We’ve gotten very positive testimonials, which we certainly appreciate.”

ummer in Broken Arrow’s Rose District is even cooler this year with the 16th annual Wine, Eats and Easels (WEE) event, supporting Broken Arrow Neighbors, taking place on the solstice, June 21, 2019. The best party of the year will again be hosted at the Rose District Pavilion and The Museum Broken Arrow from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m.

Guests will enjoy entertainment, art, food and beverage selections from popular area restaurants, featured local artists, and much more in the beautiful town center. Home-grown celebrity and sax virtuoso, Grady Nichols will perform, and guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the expanded addition of a Beer Garden serving craft beers. Broken Arrow Brewery, as well as several more local craft beer brands, will be available. Other activities include the ever-popular butt sketch artist, a photo booth and a

wine pull. There is something for everyone! Growing in popularity, Wine, Eats, and Easels was named Rose District Fan Favorite in 2016.

This extraordinary event is one of the largest fundraisers supporting Broken Arrow Neighbors, a nonprofit organization providing “assistance with dignity” to neighbors in need.

Sponsorships are available, with levels beginning at $250. Sponsors will be invited to a pre-event party under a dedicated VIP tent starting an hour before general admission and will be treated to champagne and extras to celebrate their commitment to the cause.

Sponsorships are available now by contacting kgoddard@baneighbors. org. Sponsorship opportunities are listed on the BA Neighbors website at www.baneighbors.org/ newscurrent-events/wee/.

Broken Arrow Neighbors Executive Director, Kim Goddard, recognizes WEE as one of the most

TULSA JUNE 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

important fundraising events for the organization. “I love this event for a couple of reasons,” she said.

“It benefits BA Neighbors, and in turn those individuals we are serving. It is also a great event for the City of Broken Arrow, in that it truly showcases the Rose District Pavilion and Main Street, as well as the Museum.” All proceeds from WEE directly benefit the organization as a whole, allowing more flexibility for items they need to provide for those they serve, whether for the food pantry or the dental and vision clinics.

BA Neighbors is currently in the process of completing a new standalone 3500 square foot warehouse.

“This is a perfect time for a successful fundraiser,” said Kim. Broken Arrow Neighbor’s facility has experienced incredible growth in the past few years to accommodate the demand in our area. The community garden was recently enhanced and provides

asels

fresh fruit and vegetables to distribute. “We roll quite a bit of the produce from the garden directly into the pantry,” Kim said.

The garden is tended entirely by volunteers. “We are so blessed in so many ways at Broken Arrow Neighbors, because so many people believe in our mission and are eager to help.”

GOING THE

ummer travel can be spectacular on the open road, and smart travelers always know to ensure the mode of transportation is reliable and safe before venturing out. If you’re making plans to load up the family for a destination drive, make sure to get your vehicle to South Pointe Chevrolet Service for a free 32-point inspection for safety first.

Breaking down on the side of the road is never something anyone plans on, and the best defensive is preventative service. The service team at South Pointe maintains a solid reputation for honest, highestquality customer service. Service director, Alan Mclaughlin, and his team strive to provide the most outstanding and exceptional auto support because they know that there

are many choices for dealerships offering service. “We do all the extra things we do so our customers want to come back to us,” said Alan.

“We are always grateful when our customers choose us.” Their free 32-point inspection once a year on a vehicle can be the best deterrent to more trouble on down the road.

A summer inspection before travel is vitally necessary to ensure the safety of your family while traveling. Extreme temperature changes with seasonal shifts can wreak havoc on the internal and external workings of a car or truck.

The South Pointe inspection will include checking tires, wipers, windshield, battery, hoses, and more for wear

that could pose a hazard, or could potentially be more damaging and expensive to fix later on. Annual inspections on vehicles are a responsible part of ownership, and as there is no charge at South Pointe, why wouldn’t it be one of the first things on your list of travel preparations? “It’s just smart to make sure it’s done, to let you know if you have anything to be concerned about for you and your family’s safety,” Alan said.

“We really care about safety, and our greatest goal is to make sure our customers are 100% satisfied.”

The highly trained technicians in the service center are always upto-date on the latest technology to ensure that inspections are thorough and comprehensive. Inspections rarely last longer than 30 minutes, and no appointment is necessary. As with all services, hospitality is toprate, with comfort and transparency high on their list of qualities.

Refreshments are available while you

wait, and for larger scope services that take more time, loaner cars and a shuttle service are available. “We really take care of your car,” said Alan. “We try to wash each car every time you come in for service and make sure we put down floor mats.”

Comfort is key with a super clean facility and friendly staff, including warm and smiling greeters to ensure customers are cared for with their first step on the lot. “We will even walk you to your car when you pick it up to make sure you’re good to go, and if you have any questions,” Alan said. “We really care about safety, and our greatest goal is to make sure our customers are 100% satisfied.

We want our customers to feel like family because that’s how we would want to be treated.”

The Castle is air-conditioned, with accessible restrooms, paved parking, and knowledgeable and friendly salespeople to assist you. The annual fireworks sale lasts from June 15 through July 6, with special discount pricing throughout the showroom.

rom fad diet trends to celebrity endorsed weight loss programs, there is an abundance of ways to approach developing the right health and fitness plan. However, everyone is different and the key to success is understanding the facts and science behind each process to fit your unique goals and lifestyle. In the 21st century, supplements have become a staple in the fitness and bodybuilding community, but if you don’t understand effective dosing and what ingredient profiles to look for, you may end up with the wrong product. After a life spent working in the supplement industry and competing in elite athletic programs, I’ve made it my mission to educate consumers on the most effective products available to improve their lifestyle.

Protein powder is the most popular supplement on the market, which provides a clean and simple way to meet the recommended daily amount of protein intake when your food intake is insufficient. Protein is the building block of all muscles and serves as a source of energy that is essential to maintain and gain muscle mass, while also providing all essential amino acids as well as regulating enzyme and hormone function.

Pre-workout, a general term for a product taken before exercise to optimize physical output, has recently gained popularity. The two main categories are stimulant and non-stimulant, which refers to whether or not the central nervous system is ramped, causing an energy and metabolism boost. Other

performance-boosting ingredients may include nootropics, amino acids, vasodilators, and cell volumizers to name a few. Nootropics enhance focus, memory and concentration. Amino acids are organic compounds that are the building blocks of proteins.

Vasodilators increase nitric oxide levels in the blood, improving blood oxygen levels and blood flow. Cell volumizers such as creatine increase ATP function, maximizing muscle energy production and cellular hydration to increase workload output. No two pre-workouts are the same, so research what ingredients are most important, and try a variety of ingredient profiles to get a feel for how your body responds.

Other categories of performanceenhancing supplements include recovery and hydration, fat burning, sleep aid and vitality. A post-workout hydration product prevents muscle catabolism by restoring the nutrients in the body that are used up during physical exertion, including ATP, glucose, electrolytes, amino acids and more. Fat burners increase thermogenesis to boost metabolism and suppress appetite aiding in weight loss. Sleep aids not only help you fall asleep faster but allow you to sleep deeper and wake up feeling more refreshed and energized, leading to a better mood, reduced anxiety and decreased inflammation. Vitality products are designed to naturally improve bodily functions such as energy levels and libido, and some include additional ingredients with advantages such as supporting organ health, increasing lean muscle mass, and deliver antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects.

Knowing clinical effective dosing amounts at which ingredients have been scientifically proven to provide the intended results is the most important aspect of choosing between different supplement options. Just because an ingredient is listed does not mean it is at a high enough amount to be effective. There are also key ingredients to look for that

synergistically buffer the effectiveness of the primary ingredients. For example, Kre-Alkalyn is a buffered form of creatine that does not break down in water, making it 118.2% more effective against the commonly used creatine monohydrate. Product quality is also heavily affected by the standards of the manufacturing facility and source of raw ingredients. Full label disclosure means the amount of everything in the product is listed, allowing you to check for specific ingredients and effective dosing, as opposed to proprietary blends, which group ingredients by category without listing their dosing.

““When my dad and I started the company, we agreed to formulate only premium products with the most advanced ingredients on the market and to never sacrifice quality or cut corners for profit.’’

n a perfect world, the mission of The Demand Project would be unnecessary. Most of us cannot even fathom why their mission is so crucial, but the darkness they battle is unfortunately very real and entirely too prevalent in our society. It is their light that shines over victims of child sex trafficking, fighting to protect and rescue them, and working through the struggle to help them through recovery.

Jason and Kristin Weis founded The Demand Project in 2013. Realizing the need for more soldiers in the field in the war against child sex trafficking, they equipped themselves with the training and tools they needed, and put their boots on the ground. Prevention is the pillar of their mission, but they are also armed and ready to rescue the victims, and walk with them on their journey to recovery.

In 2017, they received a miracle, in the form of Mount Arukah. The name Arukah is of Hebrew origin, and literally means God’s Restoration.

Appropriately titled, this new faithbased sanctuary will provide safety and healing for these children who have suffered so greatly. “Mount Arukah fills a gap in the system,” said Kristin.

“There are only two other recovery centers in Oklahoma, and the need is too great for them to fill.” Mount Arukah will eventually house 60 child survivors, ranging in age from 11 to 17, once open.

Due to the lack of facilities available to so many victims, many of these children are housed in detention centers. “Many of these kids look like criminals, because of what they’ve been forced to do,” Kristin said. “Our facility will fill that need and provide them with a safe place to nurture their road to recovery.” The demand is great, with Jason and Kristin receiving calls weekly for victim assistance. “Depending on how they come into the system, once stabilized, they will find the sanctuary they need at Arukah to begin the restoration process.”

Mount Arukah is a beautiful haven in Northeastern Oklahoma, and will provide soothing and productive therapies such as equine, art, and music, as part of the process of restoration. For two years, the massive undertaking has been daunting, with an incredible restoration of the facility itself. “The miracles of the companies that have come along to help has been extraordinary,” said Jason. Kristin has

TULSA JUNE 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

been consumed with the renovations for almost two years. “She lives and breathes Arukah,” he said.

As a non-profit, and with so much work to be done, The Demand Project relies heavily on donors, sponsors, and fundraising events. “It’s been a faith walk,” Jason said. “If we didn’t have these companies alongside us, we couldn’t do it.” Funding is sometimes difficult, as it is a disturbing subject to bring awareness about, this dark element in our society.

“It’s not a comfortable topic,” said Jason.

“To go to this level and support us, even when it’s uncomfortable, is so crucial and incredibly appreciated.”

One such event is The Demand Project annual golf tournament, to be held on Monday, June 17, 2019. All proceeds benefit their mission to protect children, stop predators, rescue victims, and restore the lives of sex trafficking victims. “We find that this event is a great way to inform and share our vision,” Jason said. The tournament will be held at The Golf Club of Oklahoma.

2019 sponsors include presenting sponsor Right Now Roofing, Allstate agent Carey Alexander, The Vintage Pearl, ImageNet Consulting, Mark Allen Chevrolet and Explorer Pipeline.

re you looking for a way to eat much healthier and really enjoy your food?

Owners Jason and Trena McGill and family founded “ah-Sigh-e” located at 123rd and Memorial in Bixby in 2018.

Their family hails from Florida where they fell in love with açai berry bowls 14 years ago. Jason says that they did not find any store like ah-Sigh-e in Tulsa or surrounding areas, and it was their dream to open a store and show the public just how scrumptious and healthy the açai bowls and smoothies can be.

The açai bowls and smoothies are refined sugar-free, dairy-free, soyfree, with “no hidden sugars,” and no added salt or preservatives. They pride themselves in utilizing local vendors for many of their fruits and other super-foods like locally grown granola and local honey.

“Your taste buds would enjoy the ice cream-like taste,” they said. The açai bowl is like a thick smoothie topped with your favorite healthy toppings. They are proud of their “guilt-free” motto for a tasty, sweet treat that will leave you feeling satiated.

TULSA JUNE 2019 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

There are gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options as well.

The açai berry is known as a “superfood” that is a lowcarbohydrate, high-antioxidant fruit that contains fiber and protein. It is an inch-long, red to purple fruit that comes from the açai palm tree native to both Central and South America. The açai berry is richer in antioxidants than other berries. It becomes the center of the açai bowls and the frozen smoothies. They use the açai pulp, not powder. They ensure that “everything is fresh.”

A popular menu item is the “Red, White & Blue” açai bowl, made with succulent strawberries, bananas and blueberries, layered on top of frozen açai berry smoothie, with crunchy granola at the bottom, flaxseed, and hemp seed and sweet honey drizzled on top. “I’ve never tasted anything like it. It was refreshing; jump started my taste buds, a great semi-sweet snack that turned into a meal for me,” a first-time customer said.

Jason believes that there are no boundaries when it comes to exploring the açai bowls and smoothies. “If you try it, you

will keep coming back. They are that good.” He would like to see people eating a healthy product as opposed to substituting other foods for healthy ones. He believes that everyone should at least take a taste and discover for themselves the “richness in healthy eating.”

Jason says the most rewarding aspect of running the business is providing a healthy food product to those who are health conscious and those who are not, that want to try something new at an affordable price. The bowls and smoothies range from $6-$10, some toppings are a little extra.

“The kids even like it,” says Trena. The bowls and smoothies are “not priced for the rich but for all who want to get a good feeling about eating something so scrumptious and yet so healthy,” says Jason. The kids are just as excited about the business as their parents, and it would not be uncommon for them to have a bowl

or smoothie every day.

The “fruit-fresh” atmosphere brings the store to life with so many colorful fruits and nuts. The employees also yield a sense of happiness and smiles when serving this delicious snack. Christian music in the background promotes a family-friendly environment, and there are several displays to view while eating. A local artist’s work is showcased monthly.

Hannah is the “berry special” employee of the month and has been working steadily to provide quality customer service with a delightful demeanor and youthful, happy spirit. Jason states that the business has been growing as word-of-mouth recommendations spread from satisfied

customers about their popular menu items. The store is open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m.6:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

Summertime A TOAST TO

BY SHANNON SMITH

A

h, it’s finally summer! The kids are out of school, the pools are open, the heat is on, and everybody’s hungry. What do you make on those hot summer days when you don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen? My favorite go-to for an inexpensive and tasty meal is toast toppers. There are so many options to topping toast, and you can satisfy everyone’s palate. Whether you toast sourdough, brioche, sandwich loaf, or gluten free bread, you can dress it up with a variety of tastes, including leftovers.

Start with a slice of bread that has been browned well in the toaster. It’s important that both sides of the bread are toasted so it doesn’t become soggy when the toppings are added. I like to smear some type of sauce on the toast first, such as mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, plain yogurt, mustard, or hummus. Then you can get creative and add shaved veggies, canned white beans, tuna, sliced boiled eggs, or whatever goes well with the sauce you choose. For a dessert or snack option, you can top the toast with peanut butter or Nutella, and add sliced fruit, nuts, and coconut. Of course, one of my favorite things to top toast is butter, cinnamon and sugar! Here are some of my other favorite toast toppers that make mealtime a little easier, and they’re great for the kids to make on their own. Find more of my recipes on beadsandbasil.com.
