Ty Hollingshead, Cool Contours marketing director, went to Kennesaw State University, interested in nursing and science, but when she fainted in the lab, she decided she’d find some other way to “help people.” Her healthcare background, effervescent personality and experience bringing health and wellness products to seniors make her a great partner to Coach Dukes as he forges new ground as an inventor!

Alan Dukes grew up in Indiana where he loved and lived athletics. He signed to play baseball for Liberty University after high school. After a major injury in college, he left the playing field to pursue teaching and coaching and has done so for over 30 years. As you can imagine, as both a player and a coach, Alan was constantly dealing with injuries and therapies, trying to get people healed and “back out there” … So Coach is really excited about this new discovery and the widespread application it has to heal and restore! The name, Cool Contour™ Wrap, was chosen to represent the unique product features and benefits. After water activation and being wrung out a wrap, it provided hours of “SURFACE COOLING”.   Each wrap was custom designed to “CONTOUR” around specific body parts.   Last, each product was “WRAPPED” and secured in place to provide full mobility. Alan also shares some of the “cool” back story of all he’s learned by creating a product and bringing it to market. He explains how these wraps work to stay cool, but not wet and can be worn beneath street clothes or even be worn through a night of comfortable sleep!

If you suffer from joint pain of any kind, you don’t want to miss this broadcast!

You can contact Coach Dukes directly at 678-643-4448 and tell him you learned about Cool Contour Wraps on Eugeria! Radio.  Also, their website is one of the best and most informative we’ve seen!

After graduating from Penn State, Crystal Johnson relocated to Texas to begin her career in the oil industry. Seven years later she transitioned to the biomedical research arena. This experience was the genesis of her interest in healthcare.  Through a series of family events, her husband asked the question, “If you could live anywhere you wanted, where would that be?”  Crystal’s response was a surprise – “Atlanta, Georgia”.   So the Johnsons packed-up and moved.  The Johnsons were in Atlanta for only a few years when Crystal recognized that she, her husband and their children were suffering from a variety of health issues; exercise induced asthma; bronchitis; sinus infections; and others. Crystal started exploring alternative natural, holistic ways to combat the family’s health issues.  During this time of exploration, Crystal “tripped upon this business” – Shaklee.

Shaklee Corporation is an American manufacturer and distributor of natural nutrition supplements, weight management products, beauty products, and household products.  Founded in 1905 by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, the company is committed to discovering and using pure potent ingredients from nature.  After using Shaklee products, every member of the Johnson family experienced an improvement in their health.  “This business is a natural extension of my ten year commitment to environmental education. “The way I see it, by helping someone to discover Shaklee products, I not only help you improve your health, but also help all of us to lead a healthier life on a healthier plant.”  Crystal states this is especially important in the senior population since their bodies absorb less and less nutrients as they age.  Crystal describes herself as a Whole Health Advisor dedicated to helping her community to “follow the laws of nature” to live a healthier life on a healthier planet.

If using what is naturally found in nature, rather than synthetic material makes sense to you, visit the Crystal Johnson Health web site at: CrystalJohnsonHealth.com, or call Crystal at 678-591-7873.

With the slogan Big Enough to MATTER…Small Enough to CARE, CBC National Bank employees treat each and every loan document like it is their very own.  In 2007 the bank started a wholesale mortgage lending division whose principle offices are located in Alpharetta, GA.  They are now licensed to do reverse mortgages in every state.

Dr. Randy Durbin grew up in rural western Kentucky and obtained an undergraduate degree from Emory University in economics beginning his career in the banking industry.  Later his interest in healthcare led him back to Emory to obtain a Master Degree in Public Health specializing in Epidemiology.  For the next ten years Dr. Durbin worked for the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in various fields including cancer research and bioterrorism.  In 2007 Dr. Durbin’s desire to work one on one with people led him to obtain his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the University of Pikeville, Kentucky.  In 2011, after a surgical internship and residency in Otolaryngology/Head/ Neck/Facial & Plastic Surgery, he relocated and opened his practice in Suwanee, Georgia.

Dr. Durbin’s practice is strategically located in Suwanee because the area “provides a good mix of people – young families, established neighborhoods and folks looking to retire there”.  This strategy fits nicely into his philosophy of “keeping people healthy until they die” through life style management, wellness practices and the treatment of acute and/or chronic disorders.  Currently less than 15% of seniors get an annual wellness checkup. Dr. Durbin stresses that all seniors should be getting an extensive annual evaluation focused on the “whole body approach”.   “This commitment is the driving force behind our personalized service with longer appointment times, dedicated to addressing pressing problems”.  With over 16 years of experience in healthcare, public health and health informatics, Dr. Durbin and his staff are well equipped to keep you healthy until the day you die!

If this focus on a “whole body approach” for you, or your aging loved one, is of interest, Dr. Durbin’s invites you to contact him at 706-216-7188 or visit his web site at www.drrandydurbin.com.
