FROM THE PUBLISHER
GAGA FOR LADY GAGA
In this issue , we ’ re going gaga for Lady Gaga . After watching her in House of Gucci , we knew we had to feature her in the magazine . Her total transformation into , as she describes “… some edgy , sexy , chancy , risky b * tch … some punky Italian gold digger ” was masterful and should have earned her a leading lady Oscar .

If her track record is any success , there ’ s no doubt it ’ ll happen eventually . Indeed , after reading this issue ’ s cover story , it ’ s obvious that Lady Gaga was born to be a superstar — on the stage and screen . Yet , while it may seem everything ’ s gone according to plan for Lady Gaga , as you ’ ll find reading her story on page 24 , she ’ s hit some potholes on the way to superstardom .

Switching drastic gears , much like Lady Gaga ’ s penchant for transformation , allow us to introduce you to Dr . Stephen P . Courtney . While Dr . Courtney might not be a household name — yet — he ’ s at the forefront of developing superior operative techniques to treat neck and back disorders . As our cover doctor , we recently sat down with him to learn more about how he ’ s improved the quality of life for patients across the United States . Turn to page 8 to learn more about his multiple patents and trademarks on spine related products , along with his accomplishments — in and out of the operating room .
In this issue , we also tackle the issue of social security and Medicare planning . Thankfully the legal minds at Leu & Peirce Elder Law Attorneys address the subject with a wealth of knowledge in the article on page 31 . They delve into the history of social security and the financial impact it can have on funding long-term care needs . If you ’ re approaching your Golden Years , it ’ s a must read !
Of course , there ’ s more . Get reading !
Be well !
