You know, one of the things I’ve learned from doing this podcast… is that the health of a community isn’t just about hospitals or doctor’s offices.

It’s about information. It’s about access. And most importantly… it’s about the conversations we’re willing to have.

Recently, I had the opportunity to spend some time at the Lake Oconee Health Fair, surrounded by some incredibly knowledgeable professionals, researchers, and providers who are right here in our region, doing work that is not only impressive… but in many cases, life-changing.

And as I listened to these keynote speakers, I found myself thinking something pretty simple:

More people need to hear this.

Not just the folks who were in the room that day… but all of us.

So today, you’re going to hear a couple of those conversations, a glimpse of what’s happening in the world of health and wellness right here around Lake Oconee.

But more importantly… this is the beginning of something new.

We’re launching a new podcast called Health at the Lake ,where we’ll be sitting down with doctors, specialists, and experts to talk about the issues that matter most… especially as we age, but really for anyone who wants to live better, longer, and with a higher quality of life.

No fluff. No confusion. Just real conversations with people who know what they’re talking about.

So think of today as your preview…

A front-row seat to the kind of insight that could make a real difference in your life, or in the life of someone you care about.

Today’s episode is all about progress, the kind you can see, feel, and soon… experience.

If you’ve been around Lake Country lately, you’ve probably noticed it. Construction moving forward. New spaces taking shape. And a growing sense that something exciting is right around the corner.

So today, we’re bringing you a special episode featuring two conversations, both centered on projects that are helping shape the future of our community in very different ways.

First, we’ll catch up with Adam Shaefer for an update on Lake Country Village, including the highly anticipated Publix development. This is an exciting project and real progress is happening! We’ll talk about what’s been completed, what’s coming next, and what it all means for growth and everyday convenience here in Putnam County.

Then, we shift from construction to completion, as we sit down with Gary Sofen to talk about the transformation of the former Bone Island Grill into the Italian Chophouse on Lake Oconee. The renovations are done, the vision has come to life, and we’ll dive into everything from the concept and design to the new waterfront pavilion and boat docks that are sure to make this THE destination on the lake.

Two projects. Two perspectives. One community that continues to grow and evolve.

So if you’re curious about what’s being built and what’s coming next, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!

Today’s episode is one that might challenge what you think you know about health, wellness… and even aging.

A couple of years ago, I sat down with Lisa Tubbs when she first opened IV Wellness Solutions, introducing the Lake Country community to IV therapy and a more proactive approach to feeling your best. Since then, the practice has grown, evolved, and expanded into something even more comprehensive.

Now, Lisa is joined by Rachel Sweat, a nurse anesthetist bringing advanced medical esthetic services into the mix, and we’re talking about treatments that sound like they belong in the future: microneedling with salmon DNA, regenerative therapies like PRP, hormone optimization, and non-surgical options designed to help people not just look better, but feel better from the inside out.

So what’s real? What works? And what should people actually understand before walking into a wellness or esthetics clinic?

In this conversation, we’ll break it all down, what these treatments are, how they work, who they’re for, and how the world of wellness is shifting from reactive care to proactive, personalized health.

If you’ve ever been curious about IV therapy, esthetics, or the science behind looking and feeling your best… this is one you’re going to want to hear.
