Content being hidden and/or squished

I have an index page which contains 3 tabs. The problem occurs within all tabs, but I will show here with the Home page. The problem that is occurring is that the some of the top content of the Home page is being overlapped by the title bar and the tabs bar so it is being hidden.

Inside of the Home html page I tried to wrap the code under with ion-content (see code below), but this hides the top content, squishes the height and it is no longer full screen, plus for the slides I have to swipe over the content because if I touch some of the padding or margin space it will not swipe anymore (slide 3 is a good example since it does not have a lot of content, you must press and swipe over the text for it to swipe). If I remove the ion-content tags, this adjusts the height properly, makes the swipe work so I don’t have to swipe over content for it to work, but the problem of the top content being overlapped by the tabs and title bar still exists. How can I fit the home.html perfectly under the tabs and to utilize all the space?
