    Business Spotlight: Meet Josh Ifill from Reliant Roofing & Home Services

    Trust matters when it comes to putting a roof over your family's head. That's the driving force behind Josh Ifill's decision to launch Reliant Roofing & Home Services earlier this year, bringing a refreshing dose of honesty and professionalism to an industry not always known for either. Josh doesn't just sell roofing services - he positions himself as a homeowner's advocate, particularly when battling insurance companies that, as he candidly explains, "are trying very hard not to cover the homeowner and pay out as little as possible." By handling claims from start to finish, Josh removes the burden from busy homeowners who might otherwise struggle with the complex, often intimidating insurance process. Even after claim denials, his team knows exactly which avenues to pursue, including working with public adjusters who can help overturn unfavorable decisions. What truly sets Reliant Roofing apart is Josh's commitment to straight talk. When repairs would only serve as a temporary bandage on an aging roof, he says so. When insurance companies require roof replacements to maintain coverage (an increasingly common practice with older three-tab shingle roofs), he helps customers understand their options. And when major storms hit the area, homeowners can count on having a local, accessible contractor rather than dealing with out-of-state "storm chasers" who disappear once the check clears. Beyond roofing, Josh has built Reliant into a comprehensive exterior service provider handling siding, gutters, pressure washing, cleaning, and lawn care. Even with the demands of growing his business, he balances work with being a dad to his almost four-year-old daughter, who he laughingly mentions "thinks that she's working on my computer selling roofs." Connect with Josh and experience the Reliant difference by calling 404-680-1507 or visiting reliantroofing.com today - your home deserves a contractor who'll be there before, during, and long after your roofing project is complete.

    Expert Episode: Setting the Standard for Professional Cleaning Companies with Matthew Kozak from All Pro Cleaning Systems

    Matthew Kozak never planned to build a cleaning empire. When he and his father were looking for a business to start together during his freshman year of college, they initially set their sights on a barber chain. Then COVID hit, forcing a dramatic pivot that would ultimately lead to unexpected success. The father-son duo founded All Pro Cleaning Services in 2019, rapidly expanding to manage over 250 cleaning crews throughout the Atlanta area. Their timing proved fortuitous as sanitization suddenly became essential to keeping businesses operational during the pandemic. Matthew shares how they deployed advanced technologies like electrostatic sprayers to help local Chick-fil-A and McDonald's locations remain open, supporting both community access to food and preserving jobs during uncertain times. What truly sets All Pro apart is their commitment to customization and technical expertise. Rather than applying one-size-fits-all approaches, they develop tailored cleaning plans for each client based on specific needs. Matthew recounts saving a ramen restaurant thousands of dollars after competitors misquoted a floor treatment that would have caused significant damage. Their meticulous approach encompasses everything from residential deep cleaning to specialized commercial services for medical facilities, restaurants, and office buildings. Technology plays a starring role in their cleaning arsenal. The team utilizes electro mops, scrubbers, and specialized Ecolab chemicals to achieve results that conventional cleaning methods can't match. For quality assurance, commercial clients receive nightly photographic documentation of completed work, while residential customers enjoy scheduling flexibility with weekly or bi-monthly service options. Whether you're looking for regular home cleaning or need a commercial space sanitized to the highest standards, All Pro delivers solutions that save time while creating healthier environments.

    Expert Episode: Breathing Better - The Power of Airway Orthodontics with Dr. Korry Tauber of Stable Orthodontics

    Breathing well is fundamental to health, yet many of us overlook how orthodontic care can dramatically improve airway function. Dr. Corey Tauger pulls back the curtain on the growing field of airway orthodontics, revealing how the positioning of teeth, jaw structure, and tongue affects our ability to breathe properly during both waking hours and sleep. Parents will find invaluable guidance on recognizing warning signs in their children. Does your child breathe through their mouth? Do they snore or gasp for air during sleep? Have you noticed unusual wear on their teeth from grinding? These seemingly disconnected symptoms may signal airway restrictions that affect not just dental health but behavior, attention, and overall development. Dr. Tauger explains the biological connection: restricted breathing during sleep causes micro-arousals and cortisol changes that can manifest as daytime hyperactivity and behavioral challenges. The conversation moves beyond diagnosis to explore treatment approaches for both children and adults. For growing children, custom expanders, braces, and clear aligners can create lasting positive changes to airway function. For adults managing sleep apnea, options range from CPAP machines to specialized oral devices and even surgical interventions. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Tauger emphasizes the importance of collaboration between orthodontists, ENT specialists, and sleep medicine doctors to address airway health comprehensively. What sets this episode apart is Dr. Tauger's holistic perspective that positions orthodontic care as an integral component of overall health rather than merely cosmetic treatment. He generously shares his expertise as both a specialist and a parent, offering listeners practical wisdom for identifying potential issues and seeking appropriate care. Visit stableorthodontics.com or call 770-526-0190 to schedule a complimentary consultation and discover how airway-focused orthodontic care might benefit you or your child's breathing, sleep quality, and whole-body health.

    Understanding Hormonal Health and a Holistic Approach to Longevity with Stephanie Nunes, N.P.of Thrive Medical Spa

    Feeling foggy, fatigued, or fighting stubborn weight gain? These common symptoms might signal hormone imbalances that affect millions of Americans, regardless of age or gender. Nurse Practitioner Stephanie Nunes brings her 20+ years of medical expertise to demystify hormone replacement therapy and modern weight management approaches. After witnessing patients struggling to enjoy their retirement years due to preventable health issues, Stephanie pursued advanced training in genetics, genomics, and longevity medicine. Her mission became clear: help people not just live longer, but live better. "We do a good job of living up to 100, but can we do it comfortably?" she asks, highlighting the core philosophy behind her practice at Thrive Medical Spa. Women experiencing perimenopause often face anxiety, palpitations, and unexplained weight gain as hormones fluctuate dramatically. Men typically see testosterone levels drop significantly after age 30, leading to fatigue, muscle loss, and that stubborn "gut" that won't respond to familiar workout routines. The transformations Stephanie witnesses after proper hormone balancing are remarkable – men describe renewed energy and vitality, while women commonly say it feels like "someone has lifted the fog off me." Beyond clearing misconceptions about hormone therapy safety (those fears largely stem from misinterpreted research), Stephanie explains how modern treatments like pellet therapy work and shares her holistic approach to weight management. The popular GLP-1/GIP medications aren't magic solutions but tools that work best alongside lifestyle changes. "We here at Thrive see obesity as a chronic lifelong condition," she notes, emphasizing the importance of sustainable approaches rather than quick fixes. For those interested in aging gracefully and maintaining energy through their golden years, Stephanie offers practical advice beyond medications – from avoiding endocrine-disrupting chemicals in everyday products to simple dietary adjustments that support hormone balance. Ready to reclaim your vitality? Connect with Stephanie through the Thrive Medical Spa website or by calling 470-462-2915.
