So much meaning and many memories - Thanks dad! FOR STORY IDEAS, I FOUND THIS ISSUE VERY EASY TO PUT TOGETHER FOR YOU, AS IT IS ALL ABOUT CELEBRATING THE AMAZING MEN IN OUR LIVES. I have been blessed to always be surrounded by exemplary and admirable gents in my lifetime, including my granddads, daddy, uncles, brothers, amazing husband and my very accomplished one and only son.

To all of you in those roles and many more, thank you for the impact you have in our community, and the role you play in raising up our kids into a promising future. Whether you coach a sports team, help out with homework, or work extra hard to save up for a surprise trip for your kiddos, we want to take this month to celebrate your efforts. If mine was around, I would thank him again for teaching me the value of earned income, as we delivered the Orlando Sentinel newspaper in South Orlando, out of the back of our family van. I would thank him for teaching me independence, as we laid under a 1979 Datsun learning how to drain and change the oil. I would thank him for appreciation of diversity, as we traveled the world together and shook hands of every color. I would thank him for the spirit of service, as he modeled volunteering 1000's of hours at Sandlake Hospital (now Dr. Phillips Hospital). Dad was also a Vietnam War Veteran.

GLORY IS RESERVED FOR THE AVOCADO TOAST WITH A TWIST CHEF VINNY, OF EVOLVINFOODS, TWISTING TASTE BUDS WITH DREAMY AVOCADO TOAST RECIPES

AS CHEF VINCENT CANI SHARED WITH US, “WELLNESS AND WELLBEING IS A HUGE PART OF OUR LIFESTYLE IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA. This movement has inspired me as a Chef to create recipes for healthy eating.” Avocado has become a very popular ingredient in our quest for clean eating. As a culinary visionary, Chef Vinny decided to take an innovative approach to something as simple as avocado toast by taking a neo-ethnic perspective, and hence, elevating avocado toast to another level. Avocado Toast with a Twist is an expression of an universal food culture that brings people back to the dinner table. Chef Vinny is the son of a sicilian father and Ukrainian mother, making of food a major focus for family time. For endless greatness, follow @EvolVINfoods on Instagram and YouTube.

Get Back in the Game NATURAL HEALING FOR ALL ACTIVITY CRIPPLING PAIN

WOULDN’T IT FEEL AMAZING TO BE ABLE TO GET BACK TO AN ACTIVITY THAT YOUR PAIN HAS STOPPED YOU

ARTICLE DENISE FOSGREEN

“Our goal is for people to get back to their lives with minimal down time, minimal recovery time and return to activities you thought were never possible again.” -Dr Cherukupally, MD

FROM DOING? Maybe it is a sport you discontinued, or maybe you just want to be able to enjoy playing with your kids again. In the past, we have been often told our pains are something we must cope with using medicine, steroid injections, or surgery. These are temporary solutions that often leave us frustrated. So, what to do now? Live with it? Change everything about our lives? Unfortunately, that is what many people do, while continuing the cycle of taking medicine and having periodic injections to cope. Quick Fact. 1 in 4 people will need a second back surgery within 4 years of the initial surgery. At Regenerative Sport, Spine and Spa, we believe life is too short to live with pain. You should be using the body’s natural healing power through Stem Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine. We understand the limitations pain places on your life, and we care about helping you heal naturally and getting you back to your best self! In the last few years, Regenerative Medicine has started to make a real difference in the world of joint and back pain. With Stem Cells and Regenerative Cells, we can help promote repair of herniated discs, as well as cartilage tears in small and large joints. These Regenerative cells also help reduce inflammation that is typically the primary cause of significant pain. Quick Fact. Studies have shown that knee replacement does not increase activity levels in 40% of people and those individuals still have significant pain after surgery. HERE IS WHAT TO DO: 1. Call and schedule your consultation and the 1 on 1 time with a Doctor you deserve. 2. Have your procedure at our location, no hospitals. 3. Get back to life without pain, naturally. Do not settle for short term relief. Be long term greedy with your health! To learn more, please visit www.regens3.com or contact one of our team members at 407-730-5600. 14

Ankle Pain Cured for Life!

Lower Back Healing “I had lower back pain and sciatica for over 10 years, and now I am pain free and feel better and better every day. I recommend stem cell treatment with Dr. Cherukupally to everyone. I promise you will not regret it.” -Marc C.

Painful Joints “The care of the staff was off the chart. The Regen team was very helpful, answered all our questions, and were extremely patient. Highly recommend!” -Sarah R.

Sport Injuries Such as elbow pain, can be caused by arthritis, golfer’s elbow or tennis elbow, which is an inflammation that can cause grave discomfort.

South Orlando Lifestyle | June 2021

STORY THAT HAS GAINED CLOSE TO 2 MILLION TIK TOK

FOLLOWERS, WE GO BEHIND THE SCENES FOR AN AMAZING JOURNEY OF CREATIVITY, COLOR, AND LOTS OF FUN. Meet Tony Piloseno of Florida Paints, also the master color "mixter" and content creator of @tonesterpaints on both Tik Tok and Instagram. While the story takes roots in Ohio, Tony has now made Orlando home, and he is very much excited about it. Why? Because he not only loves to create, but moreso, is very grateful to his employer, Florida Paints for offering to him the biggest breakthrough of his life. After hearing about his story (we'll leave you to watch for yourself the

“I have worked in the paint industry for 3-4 years now.” story behind getting fired from his previous employer), Florida Paints - based in Central Florida - offered him to check out opportunities locally. Not only did they offer him a store, they also built a recording studio, and

TONY PILOSENO

YOUR PAINT? "I essentially started my own online paint shop through the use of social media and content marketing. I choose to keep all digital, where my audience can purchase my paint colors as a custom request." HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE PAINT BUSINESS? "I have worked in the paint industry for 3-4 years now. I started when I was 18, with my previous employer." YOU MENTIONED PREVIOUS EMPLOYER, WHAT HAPPENED? "Working as a sales associate in Ohio, I just really fell in love with the job itself. I was helping homeowners with colors and custom projects, and I just thought I had a super cool job. In December 2019, Tik Tok was getting hot, so I thought it would be smart to record videos of myself creating paint colors. I thought it would be satisfying for people to see how mixes are made and how pigmentations react. One day, I added blueberries to CONTINUED >

paint as a "natural" colorant. Long story short, that got me fired." (So many more details on his Tik Tok and Instagram!) WHAT DOES PAINT DO FOR YOU? "Oh! I experience a form of synesthesia, where two or more of my senses interact with each other. In my case, when I hear melodies or hear different beats, it actually creates a visual implication of colors. Therefore, I try to associate within my content, different tones or depths with different colors. Hence, the brand Tonester." TELL US A BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR AFFINITY OR EAR FOR MUSIC "I was in concert band from 6th grade through Senior year of high school, and I never really understood why I could visualize colors, or even realize that gift at all, until I started working with paint. Which is why Tik Tok was a perfect platform for me to mix music with content. It is almost like a 6th sense and a third eye." WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL ABOUT TONESTER? "I want my paint to attract a new audience and demographic. Without exception, everyone will need and buy paint. Why not start with Tonester?"

AND ON THIS DAY, AS I STARED AT THE BRIGHT EMERALD GREEN MACHINE BEFORE ME, I HAD ALL THE FEELS, ADMIRING THIS POWERFUL COMPETITION COUPE. The exact color is Isle of Man Green Metallic - only available as a custom order - with Silverstone and Black Leather appointments. It had just arrived from Germany; and as you can imagine, its owner was racing towards the dealership to take possession of his M4. With the added Parking Assistance and Executive Packages, this owner will sure enjoy its drive recorder, gesture controls, and WiFi Hotspot, as well as many other luxuries. This beast fires up with an iconic roar, as I took note of the most radical nostalgic redesign yet; sure to evoke double takes for both looks and performance. And while this one is not an all-wheel drive system, the future looks promising and bright; at which time I should be anxious to brave the upgrade at Fields BMW South Orlando!

SCOTT

STALLINGS’

WORKOUT ARTICLE CITY LIFESTYLE

SCOTT STALLINGS DISCOVERED HIS INTEREST IN GOLF AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 3. But it was the “aha moment” for his love of the game that came in 1997 when Tiger Woods won the Masters and would forever change the entire landscape of the industry, as well as what Stallings would aspire to achieve in his future professional endeavors. Little did he know at the time, however, not just how successful he would become, but also how an unforeseen health compromise would also rock his world, and his cross training, for the better. He was a seven-time tournament winner and was an All-American while attending Tennessee Tech, and he has won on the PGA Tour three times as a professional golfer. Flash forward to the year 2016: It became a life-changing year he never would have anticipated; one filled with strife as he learned he had been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and acute adrenal fatigue. It was a result of some unhealthy nutritional habits, both of which affected his ability to continue effectively as a professional athlete. With the guidance of doctors, surgeons, and his good friend Rich Froning, a four-time Crossfit champion, Scott developed a workout to trim 60 pounds, boasting 10% body fat, revising his daily eating habits, and sleeping healthily through the night. Had Scott not gone to the doctor because of that innate fear, he never would have known the diagnosis of sleep apnea that needed to be addressed. Luckily for Scott, he didn’t have an overwhelming, crazy life overhaul. Instead, he was able to find one small thing, delivering simple systematic changes in his workout that led to his improvement in fitness and quality of life. “You only get one body,” he says. “Golf is a grind, but don’t let physicality get in the way of your game,” Scott says.
