Have You Ever Been Curious About Those Cracks In Your Walls And What Does It Mean?
Cullen Dieringer
Hy-Tech Foundation
When should you have a foundation inspection? Is my foundation under warranty?
Most new home foundation warranties expire in 10 years. If you see any signs of settlement, cracks in the walls or bricks, call for an inspection before your warranty expires. If you plan to remodel, always call for an inspection before any work is done. Remodeling a home with an unlevel foundation will, in the end, cost you more money to repair. Since it can be evaluated at no cost, it makes sense to get this completed before your warranty expires.

What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy is an advanced treatment that exposes you to red or near-infrared wavelengths to help skin, muscle and other tissues heal on a cellular level. Red light therapy is similar to infrared treatments but is part of the visible spectrum and can be seen with your eyes, while infrared light is only felt as heat or warmth by the body. Red light penetrates deeper than blue or ultraviolet light and is used to rejuvenate your appearance, reduce inflammation, improve your mood, alleviate pain or dis-comfort, and more.

Jaw-Dropping Details about temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
Dr. Nicholas Pigneri
of Houston Dentists at Post Oak
What is TMJ disorder (TMD)?
TMJ disorders develop when problems occur with the joints connecting the jaw to the skull. These joints, known as temporo-mandibular joints (TMJ), along with the associated muscles and soft tissue, are responsible for opening and closing the mouth. TMJ joints rotate and slide, controlling the position of the lower jaw. These joints are cushioned by cartilage discs. Damage to the TMJ discs, problems with TMJ alignment, injury to the sur-rounding muscles and more can all lead to the development of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD).
2021 Has the Best of Us Sagging
Kathi Jones
of Persona Medical Spa
What causes loose skin?
This can be a variety of factors
– sometimes, the skin has been stretched to accommodate a baby or extra weight, and then the person either loses weight or delivers a baby, and the skin just doesn’t “snap back” as we want it to. Other times, the aging process causes deterioration of collagen and elastin under the skin, resulting in sagginess. This can be on any part of the body, but we most often notice it on our bellies and faces.

The short answer is with a simple blood test from which we can determine your Testosterone level, precisely.

These symptoms include lack of energy, fatigue, moodiness, poor motivation, brain fog, reduced muscle mass, and low libido.

All About Pearls
Written by Danny Shaftel, Communty Sponsor and Diamond Expert
Pearls are traditional and au courant, classic and fashion-for-ward, retro and right on-trend. Basically, pearls are impossible to resist whatever your age, taste, style, and attitude. All pearls have two things in common. They are all naturally iridescent gemstones, composed primarily of calcium carbonate. And they are all grown inside oysters and other shelled mollusks, made of the same material that can be found on the inner lining of the shells. Beyond that, each kind of pearl is wonderfully unique.
