Watermelon, blueberries, tomatoes, peaches – I could spend hours at our local farmers markets admiring all the fresh local produce. That’s why I love this cover. To me, it’s absolutely beautiful. When I think about food in the summer, I think of a colorful garden salad or a refreshing fruit plate. It’s just a way to make these hot, hazy days a little bit brighter. This is a jampacked issue filled with great information, so we hope you are enjoying this magazine while lounging in the hammock or at the beach. It’s our Women in Health issue, and we have interviewed some of the most influential local women in health care. Get to know who they really are through the pages of this magazine. Of course, we would be remiss not to warn you about the dangers of UV rays in a summer issue. Check out our story about correcting dark spots and how you can keep your skin healthy. We also covered how to handle panic attacks and ketamine, a treatment for depression. Since you’ll have your flip-flops on for the next couple of months, you might want read our story on common foot problems. There are so many great features in this issue – too many to list here. You’ll have to read it for yourself. For the wonderful photos of our Women in Health, we want to say a special thank you to Jenn Cady Photography. And we also want to thank Hyatt Place in Mount Pleasant for providing the tremendous backdrop for the WIH head shots. And speaking of fresh food, thank you to Dish & Design Catering, especially Anja Stief, for completing our WIH photo shoot with some delicious bites. Thank you to our graphic designer and our copy editor for making sure this issue not only looks beautiful but also is well-read. And we want to recognize our wonderful writers, all of whom are extremely valuable to us. We appreciate all their hard work. Thank you to our sales staff, especially Mandy Willis, and everyone on the HealthLinks team for their contributions to this issue. And, of course, thank you to our sources. They lend us their expertise and time, both of which are priceless. We hope you enjoy this summer issue of HealthLinks magazine. And, as always … To health and happiness, Theresa Stratford, managing editor JULY/AUGUST 2022 COMPLIMENTARY CHARLESTON | DORCHESTER | BERKELEY CHAR L E S TON JULY/AUGUST 2022 KETAMINE’S CURING JOURNEY FOOD OVER PHARMACEUTICALS SPECIAL WOMEN IN HEALTH ISSUE RIDING THE WAVES: OCEAN THERAPY CHARLESTON PHOTOGRAPHY AND POSING EXPERT VISIT JENNCADY.COM AND SCHEDULE YOUR PHOTOSHOOT TODAY!
