Outfitted With Care
The Wellness Source Puts Customers First
BY MELINDA JOHNSTON
There’s a new boutique in town. But this unique shop doesn’t sell fancy foods or the latest in resort fashions. The Wellness Source is a specialized medical boutique, designed to provide compassionate, professional service and supplies to women at some of the most vulnerable times in their lives.
The store offers a full range of maternity items, mastectomy needs, and compression garments for both men and women, although women are the primary customers.
Pregnant women and new mothers can find abdominal supports, maternity swimwear, breast pumps and peripherals, nursing tanks, nursing bras, and more, all in one location.

Wellness Inside And Out
REVITA Anti-Aging Center’s Holistic Approach
BY MELINDA JOHNSTON
Most medical practices focus on treating illness. REVITA Anti-Aging Center focuses on keeping you well. You won’t find surgery, injections, lasers, or other external treatments at this practice. What you will find is a holistic approach to wellness, designed to leave you feeling years younger, as every member of the REVITA staff works to get you healthy from the inside out.
Don Nicholas, CEO of REVITA, believes another birthday shouldn’t be cause for malaise, no matter what some doctors might tell you. “As you age, there’s a predictable progression of symptoms,” he says. “You may have trouble with sleeping, weight gain, low energy, hot flashes, decreased sense of well-being, or simply not feeling 100 percent. Many of our patients tell us they’ve discussed these symptoms with their doctors, only to be told that it’s all a part of aging. But it doesn’t have to be that way.”
Nicholas says a key to wellness is having a specially trained physician examine each patient’s individual symptoms, using various lab tests to determine what may be causing age-related declines in health.

Laboring In The Art
Inspired Dentistry Makes Every Patient A Priority
BY MELINDA JOHNSTON
For some dentists, their practice is their work. For Dr. John Selden, of Inspired Dentistry of Charlotte, his practice is his passion.
That passion is evident within the custom-built dental office Dr. Selden designed with patient and employee comfort in mind. A stone fireplace, fresh flowers, a juice bar, and hardwood floors throughout make it an inviting place for even the most reluctant patient.
Atmosphere aside, patient experience is equally unique. New patients are introduced to the office through a personalized interview process, complete with X-rays and digital photographs. Dr. Selden takes that information and creates a treatment plan to meet each patient’s individual needs. Together, doctor and patient come up with a timeline to accomplish the desired outcome, including regular appointments for routine maintenance — a must, Dr. Selden insists, for good dental health.

Lose To Win
Get Trim With Doctor's Weight Loss Center
BY MELINDA JOHNSTON
For most women, taking off those extra pounds is hard. Keeping them off is harder still. Richard Cheng, M.D., Ph.D., medical director of Doctor’s Weight Loss Center, LLC, acknowledges that there is no simple solution for melting away unwanted weight.
Dr. Cheng’s weight loss approach is centered on an hCG-based diet, which, unlike traditional weight loss efforts, focuses on reducing what he calls “abnormal belly fat.” “The hCG weight loss therapy is essentially an injection-based, medically supervised program intended to help patients achieve maximum weight loss from abnormally stored fat,” Dr. Cheng says. “Belly fat is abnormal fat. Unlike normal subcutaneous fat that stores energy in the body, belly fat is not designed to store energy and it does not respond to diets like Weight Watchers® or South Beach.”
Doctor’s Weight Loss Center offers technology-assisted weight loss monitoring and frequent doctor/patient interaction. “Patients are less likely to rebound to old habits because our proprietary software [designed by Dr. Cheng] provides lifetime free monitoring services,” Dr. Cheng says.
