BREVARD COUNTY • MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA – Fit, healthy, and Forever Young: what could be better? Denise and Lou Manley, co-owners of 4EVER YOUNG Anti-Aging Solutions on Merritt Island, have officially opened their exciting new facility in The Shoppes of Victoria Square at 1450 N. Courtenay Parkway, focusing on helping you feel and look your best.

The Manleys are also co-owners of Fitness Club Merritt Island, located next door to the new 4Ever Young Anti-Aging Solutions facility.

“At the gym, we met people in their fitness journeys, and we wanted to help them go to the next level,” said Denise, who has more than three decades of experience in the medical field and holds both a bachelor’s degree in radiological sciences and an MBA.

“4Ever Young goes hand in hand with a healthy lifestyle. There is nothing like it in the area.”

The couple selected the 4Ever Young franchise because of both the company’s philosophy of service and the one-stop convenience it offers patients.

In 2014, Deniz Duygulu and Carlton Washington founded the first 4Ever Young location in Boca Raton, filling a gap they had identified through their personal exploration of health and fitness options.

They realized that conventional medicine is reactive, not proactive, and is structured to treat problems rather than support patients’ goals of becoming the healthiest, best-looking versions of themselves, regardless of age. To fill that void, they established a preventive clinic dedicated to promoting vitality throughout life.

“AT THE GYM, we met people in their fitness journeys and we wanted to help them go to the next level,” said Denise Manley, above right, who has more than three decades of experience in the medical field and holds both a bachelor’s degree in radiological sciences and an MBA. “4Ever Young goes hand in hand a healthy lifestyle. There is nothing like it in the area,” she said. CALL 321-341-4727 NOW FOR INFORMATION OR TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT (Jason Hook image)

FEEL YOUR BEST

4Ever Young is actually two practices in one. Feel Your Best is dedicated to wellness services that include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and IV vitamin therapy for men and women. Look Your Best focuses on state-of-the-art cosmetic services to combat aging and showcase an individual’s best features.

“In the past, people have had to drive all over town to get these different services, but now they will be available under one roof,” said Lou Manley.

Hormones are the body’s messengers that deliver signals that affect how cells and organs work. As we age, our hormone levels decrease, impacting our physical, mental, and sexual functioning, since there are fewer hormones to deliver signals needed for the body to perform at an optimal level.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy combats and even reverses the decline.

“We target the hormones you are lacking as we age,” said Denise.

Treatment for men and women begins a free, in-depth consultation with a wellness specialist, and is followed by detailed, extensive bloodwork, a comprehensive health profile and a complete physical with a medical provider in order to pinpoint the patient’s health status and to determine if the individual can benefit from BHRT.

In men, low testosterone levels can be caused by several conditions, but the primary culprits are andropause, the male version of menopause, and obesity.

Medically supervised bioidentical testosterone therapy can reverse the symptoms and health risks of low testosterone. 4Ever Young offers testosterone injections – testosterone no different than the body’s own – that are immediately absorbed by the body and bypass the liver, which oral therapies can damage. The center trains patients to properly inject these hormones when and where it is most convenient for them.

Patients who prefer a “set and forget” approach can opt for pellets as an alternative to injections. Smaller than a grain of rice, these tiny pellets are inserted into the upper hip by 4Ever Young’s medical staff, which consists of a medical director, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.

The pellets release a steady dose of testosterone at the same rate as the body’s own testosterone is released.
4Ever Young also offers testosterone gels and creams that deliver a dose of hormones through the skin.
With all modalities, patients’ hormone levels are closely monitored throughout treatment.

Courtenay Pkwy., Merritt Island. For more information, call 321-378-8240 or visit 4EverYoungMerrittIslandFl.com. CALL 321-341-4727 NOW FOR INFORMATION OR TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

Women can also greatly benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement since it is common for women as young as in their thirties to experience a decline in hormones that can affect mood, libido, and weight.

While caring for the skin, staying fit, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle help women remain vibrant, lifestyle choices alone cannot prevent some changes. Menopause results in a massive decrease in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and the results of these low hormone levels appear well before and last long after this everyday life stage.

4Ever Young offers estrogen and progesterone in either cream or pill form, custom-compounded for patients by a pharmacy specializing in BHRT. Women also require small amounts of the male hormone testosterone to function correctly. The tiny 4Ever Young Pearl pellet precisely matches the levels of testosterone in the female body. The pellet is placed in the hip through a minimal incision to release a steady dose of hormones over several months.

Under the monitoring and guidance of 4Ever Young’s medical staff, BHRT is a safe and proven option to improve health, as personalized dosage and close clinical tracking ensure that the patient receives the treatment needed to restore a youthful feel and drive.

4Ever Young also offers vitamin IV therapy and infusions for a quick pick-me-up and a boost in energy levels and immune system function, as well as personalized nutrition plans.

Confidence is captivating. Let 4EVER YOUNG bring it to the surface.

To counter signs of aging, 4Ever Young’s youth-reviving cosmetic services tackle the issue with the latest technology and products.

Proven, science-based treatments such as Botox,® Dysport,® Restylane® and Juvederm® injectables are available, as are treatments such Hydrafacial MD Elite, a gentle yet revitalizing treatment that delivers long-term skin health is as little as 30 minutes, and the SkinPen microneedling, which encourages the body’s production of collagen.

Although virtually pain-free, SkinPen flips on the skin’s healing “switch” to repair and rejuvenate skin. The technology is so advanced that it is even safe for the sensitive areas around the eyes, lips, and nose.

“Microneedling enriches the collagen, minimizes pore,s and makes for tighter, firmer skin,” said Denise.

4Ever Young provides a comprehensive array of aesthetic services, including dermaplaning, chemical peels and custom facials. Patients of the new 2,000-square-foot facility will be able to access services either à la carte or through memberships and various packages.

BREVARD COUNTY • MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA — A new 296-unit luxury apartment complex is coming to Merritt Island, marking another significant step in the ongoing development boom in the State Road 520 corridor of Merritt Island.

The location sits across the street from the 82-acre Merritt Square mall, and just minutes from the River Fly-In condominiums, the almost completed Merritt Island Amphitheater, and the future new Health First Cape Canaveral Hospital campus, which will replace the existing Cape Canaveral Hospital—placing the new apartments squarely within one of Brevard County’s fastest-growing corridors.

The Merritt Island Redevelopment Agency recently sponsored a study to redesign the mall as a mixed-use venue that would include not only shopping, dining, and entertainment components in an outdoor setting, but also residential units.

South Carolina-based Woodfield Developments has secured more than $51 million in construction financing for the luxury apartment complex project, which will rise on Fortenberry Road near State Road 520.

Construction is already underway, and officials said completion is expected in early 2027.

Plans for the 15.1-acre site at 555 Fortenberry Road call for a series of four-story residential buildings offering modern amenities, including a resort-style swimming pool, a 24-hour fitness center, and outdoor summer kitchens with grills.

Woodfield Developments, known for its upscale multifamily communities across the Southeast, is also developing a 318-unit apartment project in Palm Bay. The company’s portfolio emphasizes luxury design and lifestyle amenities tailored for Florida’s growing professional and retiree populations.

The Merritt Island project joins several major real estate investments reshaping the region.

In September, Strada Development LLC, based in Sanford, purchased more than 130 acres near Courtenay Parkway and Crisafulli Road for $3 million. The company has applied to rezone the property to suburban residential, signaling additional large-scale housing growth on the island.

With a new hospital, entertainment venue, housing, and retail projects rising across Merritt Island, the area is one of the Space Coast’s most active real estate markets heading into the latter half of the decade.

The post Brevard Business Opening Checklist: Permits & Signage appeared first on Space Coast Daily.

]]>

Opening a business on Florida’s Space Coast is a rush—until the paperwork shows up. Maybe you’ve circled a corner spot in Cocoa Village, or you’ve found a small office in Palm Bay with decent parking. Either way, flipping on the lights isn’t the hard part. It’s the parade of forms and sign-offs—zoning, inspections, insurance—and that last mile detail people forget about: the sign on your building that looks great and still passes code.

Ask around and you’ll hear the same story. Different counters, different hours, and at least one department that wants a form you’ve never heard of. This guide walks through the real sequence—from making sure your use fits the zone to getting that first sign approved—so you can open on time without the scramble.

Step One: Secure Your Permits and Local Approvals

It’s tempting to start with décor and gear. Don’t. Start with zoning. Melbourne handles it one way, Cocoa another, Titusville and Palm Bay have their own lanes—but every office enforces the same bottom line: no business opens without clearance. That single check has tripped up more than a few newcomers who signed for spaces their use didn’t allow. A coffee roaster, for instance, may not be allowed in a plaza zoned for office use due to ventilation rules.

Space Coast Daily’s Brevard County business news section often reports on small operators facing delays because their intended use didn’t match the zoning code. Doing that homework upfront saves months of headaches and rent on a space you can’t legally open.

With zoning behind you, the paperwork changes names. County first—the Business Tax Receipt—then your city’s license. When the sawdust clears, you’ll chase the Certificate of Occupancy (the “CO”). Every trade needs its own permit and pass: electrical, HVAC, plumbing. It’s tedious, but skipping one usually means a re-inspection fee and lost days.

Food, alcohol, and personal services trigger state paperwork—no way around it. Check the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation for the exact list by industry. A quick example: a sit-down restaurant may be permitted by Health, a market café by Agriculture, and either way an alcohol program won’t start until the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco signs off.

Book inspections early. Fire, building, and health teams fill up fast—tourist season and post-storm weeks are the worst. Miss your slot and that Certificate of Occupancy can slide by a week or three. As a general rule, begin scheduling as soon as construction passes final framing; even if your space isn’t decorated yet, the structural inspection can happen in parallel.

Case in point: a Melbourne café that soft-launched last year lost nearly three weeks of projected revenue waiting on a fire inspection because the county’s schedule was full. Their takeaway? Book early, confirm in writing, and leave buffer time in your grand-opening timeline.

Step Two: Build the Right Foundation with Smart Signage

With the paperwork underway, turn to the physical side of opening—the storefront. The sign above your entrance is often your first impression, long before anyone tries your product. It’s not just branding; it’s compliance, visibility, and marketing rolled into one.

Each city in Brevard has specific ordinances dictating sign placement, illumination type, and total square footage. In Cocoa Beach, for example, wall signs can’t exceed 10% of the wall area. In Melbourne, illuminated signage near residential zones may require dimming features. Review these codes carefully before you commit to fabrication.

If you’re thinking long term, invest in signage for businesses that’s built for the coast. Salt in the air, hard sun, and the odd tropical squall chew up bargain materials fast. A solid aluminum or bronze plaque costs more on day one, but it’ll still look sharp years from now. 

For layout and legibility basics, the U.S. Small Business Administration has a handy storefront primer.Their examples of ADA-compliant sign placement and contrast ratios are practical for Brevard’s walkable areas like Cocoa Village, where visibility and accessibility laws intersect.

A great local example comes from Nordstrom Rack’s opening at The Avenue Viera, which Space Coast Daily covered in detail. The store’s clean, illuminated signage followed both county code and brand guidelines, creating consistency across all façades. Within weeks of opening, nearby businesses reported higher evening foot traffic thanks to the improved visibility along Town Center Avenue—a perfect case study in how good signage benefits not just one brand, but an entire retail corridor.

Also consider your landlord’s rules. Many shopping centers require approval of sign renderings to ensure cohesive aesthetics. A mismatch in color temperature or mounting height can violate lease terms, leading to reinstallation costs. Coordinate early to avoid surprises.

Step Three: Coordinate Utilities, Safety, and Marketing

While your sign is being fabricated, begin setting up the less glamorous—but equally critical—pieces: utilities, insurance, and digital presence. Power and water connections often take longer than expected, especially if crews are handling post-storm maintenance. Some new tenants have found it efficient to schedule overlapping inspections—fire safety, electrical, and occupancy—to shave days off the timeline.

Next comes your safety and liability coverage. Most property managers will require proof of commercial insurance before handing over keys. Contact your insurer early so your certificate matches the property’s requirements; missing language can delay your occupancy permit.

Then, switch gears to visibility. Update your Google Business Profile, local directories, and Brevard County listings. Include accurate hours, service categories, and images of your storefront—once your signage is installed and lit. According to the International Sign Association, more than 60% of consumers have discovered a business simply by noticing its sign while driving. That stat alone makes your exterior branding one of the most cost-effective marketing assets you’ll ever buy.

Yes, community still counts. Join the chamber, sponsor a school fundraiser, set up a booth at a weekend market. The Space Coast Daily business section routinely covers local wins—see Brunswick Boat Group’s Merritt Island expansion—and that kind of mention tends to snowball on Facebook and Instagram. Even a low-key grand opening with a single food truck and a local guitarist can earn coverage that keeps your name in circulation.

Step Four: After Opening—Stay Compliant and Consistent

Your first customers will notice the details—clear hours on the door, lighting that makes your logo pop, staff who know the story behind the brand. But staying open means maintaining the same care over time.

Keep a renewal calendar for your licenses and permits. Many fire inspection certificates, business tax receipts, and sanitation approvals renew annually. Missing one can result in fines or temporary closure. Likewise, review your signage at least once a year for wear, fading, or outdated branding. A quick refresh before hurricane season can prevent damage or code violations if fasteners corrode.

Space Coast Daily’s reporting has consistently shown that businesses maintaining compliance and visibility fare better during disruptions. After hurricanes, the companies that recover fastest are those with organized paperwork and storm-rated signage still intact. It’s a small operational detail that pays dividends when the weather turns.

If you want a little future-proofing, add QR codes or a small digital panel where it makes sense. You can swap hours or promos from your laptop—no ladder, no new vinyl. A few Space Coast corridors are already testing low-glare LED message centers that meet city brightness rules, so you get compliance and flexible marketing in one move.

Final Word: Opening Day and Beyond

Opening a business in Brevard County is a big deal—and a real test of planning. There’s no shortcut through permits, licenses, safety checks, or storefront design. The payoff, though, is joining a community that treats small business like the backbone of the Space Coast. 

The owners who last here run it like a marathon: approvals early, durable materials, and steady community ties. Follow this Brevard business opening checklist—permits squared, inspections passed, signage that works—and you’ll open with confidence and stay open.

DENISE MANLEY: 4Ever Young goes hand in hand with a healthy lifestyle. There is nothing like it on the Space Coast – a nationally renowned franchise that combines the latest in proven methods with outstanding customer service.

BREVARD COUNTY • MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA – Fit, healthy, and Forever Young: what could be better? Denise and Lou Manley, co-owners of 4EVER YOUNG Anti-Aging Solutions on Merritt Island, have officially opened their exciting new facility in The Shoppes of Victoria Square at 1450 N. Courtenay Parkway, focusing on helping you feel and look your best.

The Manleys are also co-owners of Fitness Club Merritt Island, located next door to the new 4Ever Young Anti-Aging Solutions facility.

“At the gym, we met people in their fitness journeys, and we wanted to help them go to the next level,” said Denise, who has more than three decades of experience in the medical field and holds both a bachelor’s degree in radiological sciences and an MBA.

“4Ever Young goes hand in hand with a healthy lifestyle. There is nothing like it in the area.”

The couple selected the 4Ever Young franchise because of both the company’s philosophy of service and the one-stop convenience it offers patients.

In 2014, Deniz Duygulu and Carlton Washington founded the first 4Ever Young location in Boca Raton, filling a gap they had identified through their personal exploration of health and fitness options.

They realized that conventional medicine is reactive, not proactive, and is structured to treat problems rather than support patients’ goals of becoming the healthiest, best-looking versions of themselves, regardless of age. To fill that void, they established a preventive clinic dedicated to promoting vitality throughout life.

“AT THE GYM, we met people in their fitness journeys and we wanted to help them go to the next level,” said Denise Manley, above right, who has more than three decades of experience in the medical field and holds both a bachelor’s degree in radiological sciences and an MBA. “4Ever Young goes hand in hand a healthy lifestyle. There is nothing like it in the area,” she said. CALL 321-341-4727 NOW FOR INFORMATION OR TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT (Jason Hook image)

FEEL YOUR BEST

4Ever Young is actually two practices in one. Feel Your Best is dedicated to wellness services that include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and IV vitamin therapy for men and women. Look Your Best focuses on state-of-the-art cosmetic services to combat aging and showcase an individual’s best features.

“In the past, people have had to drive all over town to get these different services, but now they will be available under one roof,” said Lou Manley.

Hormones are the body’s messengers that deliver signals that affect how cells and organs work. As we age, our hormone levels decrease, impacting our physical, mental, and sexual functioning, since there are fewer hormones to deliver signals needed for the body to perform at an optimal level.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy combats and even reverses the decline.

“We target the hormones you are lacking as we age,” said Denise.

Treatment for men and women begins a free, in-depth consultation with a wellness specialist, and is followed by detailed, extensive bloodwork, a comprehensive health profile and a complete physical with a medical provider in order to pinpoint the patient’s health status and to determine if the individual can benefit from BHRT.

DENISE AND LOU MANLEY, co-owners of Fitness Club of Merritt Island, have created that magic trifecta with their new anti-aging practice that is now open next to their gym.

In men, low testosterone levels can be caused by several conditions, but the primary culprits are andropause, the male version of menopause, and obesity.

Medically supervised bioidentical testosterone therapy can reverse the symptoms and health risks of low testosterone. 4Ever Young offers testosterone injections – testosterone no different than the body’s own – that are immediately absorbed by the body and bypass the liver, which oral therapies can damage. The center trains patients to properly inject these hormones when and where it is most convenient for them.

Patients who prefer a “set and forget” approach can opt for pellets as an alternative to injections. Smaller than a grain of rice, these tiny pellets are inserted into the upper hip by 4Ever Young’s medical staff, which consists of a medical director, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.

The pellets release a steady dose of testosterone at the same rate as the body’s own testosterone is released.
4Ever Young also offers testosterone gels and creams that deliver a dose of hormones through the skin.
With all modalities, patients’ hormone levels are closely monitored throughout treatment.

Women can also greatly benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement since it is common for women as young as in their thirties to experience a decline in hormones that can affect mood, libido, and weight.

While caring for the skin, staying fit, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle help women remain vibrant, lifestyle choices alone cannot prevent some changes. Menopause results in a massive decrease in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and the results of these low hormone levels appear well before and last long after this everyday life stage.

4Ever Young offers estrogen and progesterone in either cream or pill form, custom-compounded for patients by a pharmacy specializing in BHRT. Women also require small amounts of the male hormone testosterone to function correctly. The tiny 4Ever Young Pearl pellet precisely matches the levels of testosterone in the female body. The pellet is placed in the hip through a minimal incision to release a steady dose of hormones over several months.

Under the monitoring and guidance of 4Ever Young’s medical staff, BHRT is a safe and proven option to improve health, as personalized dosage and close clinical tracking ensure that the patient receives the treatment needed to restore a youthful feel and drive.

4Ever Young also offers vitamin IV therapy and infusions for a quick pick-me-up and a boost in energy levels and immune system function, as well as personalized nutrition plans.

Confidence is captivating. Let 4EVER YOUNG bring it to the surface. Discover their range of cosmetic services—from fillers, to contouring, to custom facials—that will help you combat aging and showcase your best features. 4Ever Young will open at 1450 N.

To counter signs of aging, 4Ever Young’s youth-reviving cosmetic services tackle the issue with the latest technology and products.

Proven, science-based treatments such as Botox,® Dysport,® Restylane® and Juvederm® injectables are available, as are treatments such Hydrafacial MD Elite, a gentle yet revitalizing treatment that delivers long-term skin health is as little as 30 minutes, and the SkinPen microneedling, which encourages the body’s production of collagen.

Although virtually pain-free, SkinPen flips on the skin’s healing “switch” to repair and rejuvenate skin. The technology is so advanced that it is even safe for the sensitive areas around the eyes, lips, and nose.

“Microneedling enriches the collagen, minimizes pore,s and makes for tighter, firmer skin,” said Denise.

4Ever Young provides a comprehensive array of aesthetic services, including dermaplaning, chemical peels and custom facials. Patients of the new 2,000-square-foot facility will be able to access services either à la carte or through memberships and various packages. The 4Ever Young VIP membership offers unlimited year-round product and service discounts, as well as exclusive invitations to unique events and special offers. Above, Esthetician Maryann Hughes performs a HydraFacial, an advanced technology that enhances the health of your skin. It is an excellent option for those seeking a non-invasive, painless way to recharge their skin instantly. CALL 321-341-4727 NOW FOR INFORMATION OR TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT (Leneah Willis image)

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — For more than 70 years, the Brevard Hotel stood proudly on the shores of the Indian River Lagoon, a glittering retreat where locals mingled with winter visitors and dignitaries, including Vice President Hubert Humphrey.

Known fondly as “The Grand Old Lady,” the hotel’s legacy remains deeply ingrained in the history of Cocoa, even decades after its demolition.

Built in 1922, the Brevard Hotel rose on a four-acre estate overlooking the lagoon, offering 53 rooms spread across an 18,000-square-foot property. Guests came for rest, relaxation, and the waterfront views that made the Space Coast a quiet jewel long before the rocket age.

By the 1930s, however, the once-promising resort had fallen into disrepair—until a determined family from Chicago brought it back to life. Hartley C. Laycock Sr., a former banker who had weathered the Great Depression, purchased and restored the abandoned hotel.

With community support and funds raised back in Chicago, the renovated Brevard Hotel reopened in December 1934, quickly regaining its reputation as a winter haven.

“This story reminds me a bit of It’s a Wonderful Life,” said Bob Laycock, Hartley’s grandson, in recounting his family’s history with the property.

“George Bailey does all he can to protect his depositors — and then karma kicks in. For my grandfather, rebuilding the Brevard Hotel was that second chance.”

The former Brevard Hotel in Cocoa is pictured in this postcard image, circa 1930s.
In this tourism brochure, circa 1950, the Brevard Hotel in Cocoa invites “snowbirds” to Brevard County for the winter. The hotel was among the most popular retreats for both locals and tourists. Located on a four-acre estate overlooking the beautiful Indian River Lagoon, Brevard Hotel’s 18,000 square-foot estate offered 53 rooms for “rest and relaxation.”

For decades, the hotel flourished. Travel brochures from the 1950s invited “snowbirds” to Cocoa for a season of sunshine, comfort, and Southern charm. Guests paid less than $10 a night, enjoyed continental breakfasts in the lobby, and even received the seventh night free after paying for six.

Catherine Goretsky, who shared photographs of the hotel taken by her husband in 1957, fondly recalled the experience. “The room rates were incredibly low,” she said. “It was simple but beautiful. Those were wonderful days.”

The hotel’s corridors echoed with laughter, music, and even a Betty Crocker radio broadcast that once aired from the property. Families gathered in its lobby, romances bloomed—including the marriage of Laycock’s parents—and generations carried home stories of the elegant retreat on the lagoon.

But the golden era faded. By the early 1960s, the Laycock family sold the property. In the 1990s, financial troubles beset then-owner Tony Ninos, who struggled with back taxes and the cost of maintenance. In 1996, the Brevard Hotel was sold and ultimately torn down, replaced by Oleander Pointe Condominiums.

Although gone, fragments of the building remain. Salvaged pieces were incorporated into other Cocoa structures, ensuring the “Grand Old Lady” still whispers through the town she once helped define.

Today, locals remember the Brevard Hotel not just as a resort but as a gathering place where community, history, and memory converged. From Chicago bankers to vice presidents, from family milestones to childhood adventures, its story reflects both the endurance and fragility of Florida’s architectural treasures.

As the sun sets over the Indian River, those who remember the Brevard Hotel say its spirit lingers still—a testament to an era when elegance met small-town warmth on the Space Coast.

BREVARD COUNTY • MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA – Fit, healthy and Forever Young: what could be better? Denise and Lou Manley, co-owners of 4EVER YOUNG Anti-Aging Solutions on Merritt Island, have officially opened their exciting new facility in The Shoppes Of Victoria Square at 1450 N. Courtenay Parkway that will focus on helping you feel and look your best.

The Manleys are also co-owners of Fitness Club Merritt Island, located next door to the new 4Ever Young Anti-Aging Solutions facility.

“At the gym, we met people in their fitness journeys, and we wanted to help them go to the next level,” said Denise, who has more than three decades of experience in the medical field and holds both a bachelor’s degree in radiological sciences and an MBA.

“4Ever Young goes hand in hand with a healthy lifestyle. There is nothing like it in the area.”

The couple selected the 4Ever Young franchise because of both the company’s philosophy of service and the one-stop convenience it offers patients.

In 2014, Deniz Duygulu and Carlton Washington founded the first 4Ever Young location in Boca Raton to fill a gap they had perceived through their personal exploration of health and fitness options.

They realized that conventional medicine is reactive, not proactive, and is structured to treat problems and not to support patients’ goal of becoming the healthiest, best-looking versions of themselves, regardless of age. To fill that void, they created a preventative clinic committed to supporting vitality throughout life.

“AT THE GYM, we met people in their fitness journeys and we wanted to help them go to the next level,” said Denise Manley, above right, who has more than three decades of experience in the medical field and holds both a bachelor’s degree in radiological sciences and an MBA. “4Ever Young goes hand in hand a healthy lifestyle. There is nothing like it in the area,” she said. CALL 321-341-4727 NOW FOR INFORMATION OR TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT (Jason Hook image)

FEEL YOUR BEST

4Ever Young is actually two practices in one. Feel Your Best is dedicated to wellness services that include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and IV vitamin therapy for men and women, while Look Your Best focuses on state-of-the-art cosmetic services to combat aging and showcase the individual’s best features.

“In the past, people have had to drive all over town to get these different services, but now they will be available under one roof,” said Lou Manley.

Hormones are the body’s messenger who deliver signals that affect how cells and organs work. As we age, our hormone levels decrease, impacting our physical, mental and sexual functioning, since there are then fewer hormones to deliver signals needed for the body to perform at optimal level.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy combats and even reverses the decline.

“We target the hormones you are lacking as we age,” said Denise.

Treatment for men and women begins a free, in-depth consultation with a wellness specialist, and is followed by detailed, extensive bloodwork, a comprehensive health profile and a full physical with a medical provider in order to pinpoint the patient’s health status and to determine if the individual can benefit from BHRT.

DENISE AND LOU MANLEY, co-owners of Fitness Club of Merritt Island, has created that magic trifecta with their new anti-aging practice that is now open next to their gym.

In men, low testosterone levels can be caused by several conditions, but the primary culprits are andropause, the male version of menopause, and obesity.

Medically supervised bioidentical testosterone therapy can reverse the symptoms and health risks of low testosterone. 4Ever Young offers testosterone injections – testosterone no different than the body’s own – that are immediately absorbed by the body and bypass the liver, which can be damaged by oral therapies. The center trains patients to properly inject these hormones when and where it is most convenient for them.

Patients who prefer a “set and forget” approach can opt for pellets as an alternative to injections. Smaller than a grain of rice, these tiny pellets are inserted into the upper hip by 4Ever Young’s medical staff, which consists of a medical director, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

The pellets release a steady dose of testosterone at the same rate as the body’s own testosterone is released.
4Ever Young also offers testosterone gels and creams that deliver a dose of hormones through the skin.
With all modalities, patients’ hormone levels are closely monitored throughout treatment.

FITNESS CLUB WILL TAKE CARE OF KEEPING YOU FIT, while the new 4Ever Young Anti-Aging Solutions will focus on helping you feel and look your best. 4Ever Young will open at 1450 N. Courtenay Pkwy., Merritt Island. For more information, call 321-378-8240 or visit 4EverYoungMerrittIslandFl.com. CALL 321-341-4727 NOW FOR INFORMATION OR TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

Women can also greatly benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement since it is common for women as young as in their thirties to experience a decline in hormones that can affect mood, libido, and weight.

While caring for the skin, staying fit, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle help women remain vibrant, lifestyle choices alone cannot prevent some changes. Menopause results in a massive decrease in estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and results of these low hormone levels appear well before and last long after this normal life stage appears.

4Ever Young offers estrogen and progesterone in either cream or pill form, custom compounded for patients by a pharmacy specializing in BHRT. Women also need the male hormone testosterone in very small quantities in order to function well. The tiny 4Ever Young Pearl pellet precisely matches the levels of testosterone in the female body. The pellet is placed in the hip through a minimal incision to release a steady dose of hormones over several months.

Under the monitoring and guidance of 4Ever Young’s medical staff, BHRT is a safe, proven option to improve health because personalized dosage and close clinical monitoring ascertain that the patient is receiving the treatment needed to restore that youthful feel and drive.

4Ever Young also provides vitamin IV therapy and infusions for a quick pick-me-up and boost of energy levels and immune system, as well as personalized nutrition plans.

Confidence is captivating. Let 4EVER YOUNG bring it to the surface. Discover their range of cosmetic services—from fillers, to contouring, to custom facials—that will help you combat aging and showcase your best features. 4Ever Young will open at at 1450 N.

To counter signs of aging, 4Ever Young’s youth-reviving cosmetic services tackle the issue with the latest technology and products.

Proven, science-based treatments such as Botox,® Dysport,® Restylane® and Juvederm® injectables are available, as are treatments such Hydrafacial MD Elite, a gentle yet revitalizing treatment that delivers long-term skin health is as little as 30 minutes, and the SkinPen microneedling, which encourages the body’s production of collagen.

Although virtually pain-free, SkinPen flips on the skin’s healing “switch” to repair and rejuvenate skin. The technology is so advanced that it is even safe for the sensitive areas around the eyes, lips and nose.

“Microneedling enriches the collagen, minimizes pores and makes for tighter, firmer skin,” said Denise.

4Ever Young provides a comprehensive array of aesthetic services, including dermaplaning, chemical peels and custom facials. Patients of the new 2,000-square-foot facility will be able to access services either a la carte or through memberships and a variety of packages.

Above, Esthetician Maryann Hughes performs a HydraFacial, an advanced technology to enhance the health of your skin that is a great option for those seeking a non-invasive, painless way to recharge skin instantly.

The Original Bridge Between Merritt Island and Cocoa was eventually replaced by the Hubert H. Humphrey Bridge, also known as the State Road 520 Causeway.

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — Each morning and evening on Florida’s Space Coast, thousands of commuters travel the stretch of State Road 520 between Cocoa and Merritt Island.

Their route takes them over the sweeping Hubert H. Humphrey Bridge, a high-arching structure that not only connects two communities but also offers travelers stunning panoramic views of the Indian River Lagoon.

For most, the bridge is simply part of a daily routine—an elevated stretch of concrete leading to work, school, or the beaches.

But the story behind the Hubert H. Humphrey Bridge is woven into Brevard County’s history, tracing a century of growth, innovation, and the region’s ties to the U.S. space program.

This plaque marks the former entry to the original bridge that connected Cocoa Beach with Merritt Island
Angel City marked the western entry point of the wooden toll bridge that was used from 1922 to 1941. Today, the only reminder of the structure is a plaque that reads:
“On this site on April 19, 1923, a wooden drawbridge across the Banana River was opened to the public, linking Merritt Island to Cocoa Beach. To pay for the bridge, there was a round-trip toll of .20 for the car and driver, plus a .04 charge for each additional passenger. Upon completion of State Road 520 in 1941, the old bridge was dismantled. Only the concrete abutment and a few pilings remain to mark the location of the bridge that opened Cocoa Beach to development.”

From Modest Beginnings to a Growing Need

The first bridge across the Indian River at this location was built on May 1, 1917. A modest concrete span, it provided an essential connection between Cocoa and Merritt Island at a time when automobiles were only beginning to dominate transportation.

Though functional, the structure was small by today’s standards. Eventually, remnants of this original bridge were converted into fishing piers—still in use today by anglers seeking redfish, trout, and snook in the Indian River.

As Brevard County grew, so too did its need for stronger infrastructure. In the early 20th century, the bridges linking Merritt Island to surrounding communities were patchwork efforts, cobbled together to keep up with rising demand.

One such span, known as the Humpback Bridge, carried traffic from Merritt Avenue to Banana River Drive (now Audubon Road). Before the Sykes Creek Bridge and Merritt Square Mall existed, drivers would cross the Humpback Bridge, then travel several miles south along Banana River Drive to an area known as Angel City.

From Angel City, a wooden toll bridge opened in 1923 to connect Merritt Island with Cocoa Beach across the Banana River. The bridge, a drawbridge structure, marked the first direct link between the mainland and the barrier island.

To cross, motorists paid a round-trip toll of 20 cents for the car and driver, plus an additional 4 cents for each passenger. That bridge served travelers until 1941, when the completion of State Road 520 rendered it obsolete. Today, little remains of the wooden toll bridge except a plaque and a few concrete pilings that mark the spot.

This map shows the routes of the original bridges in Merritt Island and Cocoa, as well as the proposed routes. The red route shows the path that drivers used before the construction of the Hubert H. Humphrey Bridge.

The Space Race Spurs New Roads

By the 1960s, Brevard County was rapidly transforming. With the rise of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and the influx of workers supporting America’s space ambitions, traffic along SR 520 swelled. The once-sufficient two-lane roads were now choked with commuters headed to and from Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach, and Cape Canaveral.

It was Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey who helped usher in the solution. Recognizing the strategic importance of the Space Coast, Humphrey worked with NASA and the U.S. Air Force to secure funding for a major road-widening project. On August 16, 1962, SR 520 was officially expanded, easing congestion and setting the stage for a new signature bridge.

Less than six years later, on March 1, 1968, Humphrey returned to dedicate the structure that now bears his name. The Hubert H. Humphrey Bridge, with its soaring arches and expansive views, symbolized both the modernization of Brevard County and the optimism of the space age.

Today, the he Hubert H. Humphrey Bridge stands not just as a piece of transportation infrastructure but also as a reminder of how roads and bridges shape communities. What began as a modest 1917 crossing has evolved into a vital artery for commerce, tourism, and daily life on the Space Coast.

A Living Legacy

Today, the bridge stands not just as a piece of transportation infrastructure but also as a reminder of how roads and bridges shape communities. What began as a modest 1917 crossing has evolved into a vital artery for commerce, tourism, and daily life on the Space Coast.

Drivers may not think twice as they crest the bridge and catch sight of the lagoon glistening in the sunlight, but beneath its concrete spans lies more than a century of history—one that connects fishing towns, space exploration, and the vision of a vice president who believed in building for the future.
