Employee Spotlight
During our efforts to improve Caesar’s we’ve rediscovered a diamond in the rough, our Chef, Jack Jabara. During the research and development of the new menu, not only have we learned about his culinary skills and passions, but also about his past experiences as a Chef. As many of you know, Jack has been working in this kitchen for a long time. Sometimes when an individual has been with us for a while, we begin to forget their background. So, let us re-introduce you to our Chef, and you too will understand why TELOS is proud to have Jack a part of our team.

Member Spotlight –
Isacc Rousso
When I was asked to write something for the membership spotlight newsletter, my first thought was why me? Then I started thinking and I said to myself, why not me?
My name is Isaac Rousso and I have been a member of this facility on and off since 1990. Needless to say, there were a few years that I didn’t set foot in the gym. Well, two years ago I weighed 386 lbs and was about one twinkie away from having serious health issues. Today, I have lost over 140 lbs and have gone from wearing a 4XL shirt to a XL shirt while taking off 20 inches around my waist.
I understand that you don’t get to be almost 400lbs over night, so when I started the program in January 2007, I called it “Member under Construction Month.” Likewise, when you wake up this New Year’s Day and look yourself in the mirror thinking it’s time to get into shape, remember it’s not a sprint but a marathon.
I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to train with Cecil Hightower and Matt Lindenmenyer. Both are incredible trainers who are capable of providing all the support and motivation necessary for anyone to be successful in the gym. They were both instrumental in designing a personalized training program for me and helping regain my mobility. Now, on most days you will find me on one of the Precor Ellipticals stepping my way in to a new life.

Healthy Body, Healthy Smile
By Dr. Jacqueline Strempek
 Happy New Year! Does your day look something like this? On your way to work you stop at Starbucks for a grande double latte, then sip on a bottomless diet coke, until you a eat a quick lunch filled with sugars and starches, then, after a long day of work you meet friends out for dinner and drinks? It continues to amaze me, how teeth often tell a story of a patient’s overall health, diet and stress levels. It is a time of New Year’s resolutions and new habits. People are frequenting the gym to lose those 3-5 (ish) holiday pounds. When you are running on that treadmill or doing those bicep curls, remember that you are what you eat. Here are a few tips on how a well balanced diet provides the minerals, vitamins and other nutrients essential for a healthy body and smile.

Improve Blood Pressure
Even minimal exercise can help control blood pressure…
There has been much debate about how much exercise one needs to see health improvements. While the US government along with a variety of health organizations recommend 60 minutes of exercise most days of the week, a recent study reveals that even low levels of exercise can result in lower blood pressure and improved overall fitness.
For the study a group of 100 sedentary men and women between the ages of 40 and 60 were recruited for a twelve-week exercise program. Participants were divided into three groups: 30 minutes of brisk walking five days a week, 30 minutes of brisk walking three days a week, and a control group. In the end, researchers found that both exercise groups saw significant improvements in blood pressure and weight loss, thereby reducing risk for cardiovascular disease.
