Stayhealthy Music and Entertainment Releases New Holiday Song by The Snack Town All-Stars With “The Healthy Holiday Mashup” Medley and Video


News Image

Stayhealthy Music and Entertainment has just released its new holiday single, “The Healthy Holiday Mashup” distributed through Bungalo Records and Universal Music Group. The song is the latest release from The Snack Town All-Stars, the first act signed by Stayhealthy Music and Entertainment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stayhealthy, Inc.

“It was a natural for the Snack Town All-Stars to celebrate this wonderful season in their inimitable way—by engaging children with a unique twist on some familiar Christmas melodies and getting the message about healthy eating and exercise across in a fun way,” said Paul Ring, Stayhealthy Music’s President. “Just like the band’s previous release, the ‘Stay Healthy Shake’, it also gets them up and dancing at the same time.”

“The reaction to the Snack Town All-Stars has been tremendous with Apple featuring their first single, ‘The Stay Healthy Shake’, on its Kids’ Road Trip Playlist,” stated Stayhealthy CEO, John Collins. “The band members were born out of characters from our health app for children, Color Quest AR (augmented reality), which has also been huge with almost 26 million views on YouTube and an average of 15,000 downloads every day. Its success shows that both children and parents are very responsive to the idea of combining education with entertainment. Our philosophy is that being active and eating the right way are the keys to children enjoying a healthy life.”

Stayhealthy Music and Entertainment was founded by Stayhealthy, Inc., a company dedicated to innovating new ways of engaging, educating and empowering people about their personal health and wellness. The new company has recently signed with Universal Music Group on worldwide distribution for its children’s music.

How To Compare Online Quotes And Save Car Insurance Money


News Image

“Online quotes can help drivers find affordable insurance deals by comparing multiple offers from different insurance companies”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has launched a new blog post that explains how drivers can compare multiple online car insurance quotes in order to get better coverage.

For more info and free online car insurance quotes, please visit https://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/how-to-compare-car-insurance-quotes-online/

With the help of the internet, drivers can find insurance providers that offer good insurance plans at affordable prices. For many, finding the best insurance deal by going from one insurer to another is time-consuming and nerve-wracking. With the help of online quotes, drivers can avoid these unpleasantries and they can search for the best car insurance deal without wasting time.

To obtain accurate car insurance quotes when comparing, drivers should consider the following:


  • Complete the same data on each form. Policyholders should ensure they put the same info when they complete questionnaires from different websites or they simulate various coverage plans. Typically, these forms will ask data about the car model, make, year of production, safety devices, anti-theft devices, driving record, traffic violations, ZIP code, occupation, and so on.
  • Ask quotes for the same services. Drivers should be extra cautious and select the same deductibles, cover limits and extra coverage options when they are comparing online quotes. Just a small difference between services can lead to significant estimates differences.
  • Offer a real mileage estimate. One important factor that influences the price of insurance is how many miles a driver uses his car. Inputting a low mileage on an online form in order to get better estimates is useless, as drivers will be required to provide the real mileage estimates to the insurer.
  • Don’t hide the negative aspects. There are many negative things that can influence the price of car insurance. Things like poor credit score, traffic tickets, at-fault accidents, DUI incidents, and others will surely increase the price of insurance. Drivers can obtain better estimates by skipping to add these negative factors, but lying to an insurer can easily backfire and the penalties are severe.
  • Check the discounts. Insurance companies are known for offering different types of discounts. Drivers are advised to check for which ones they are eligible and how much they can save.
  • Compare multiple quotes. To obtain a better insurance deal drivers need to compare at least three online quotes from different insurance companies.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers.

Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles Announces Ketamine Treatment Program for Alcoholism


News Image

I have found that heavy drinkers experienced progress after just two infusions and long-term improvement with five infusions and the usage of the spray at home. This has resulted in better interpersonal relationships and increased productivity. The benefits have been remarkable, says Dr. Mahjoubi.

At the Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles, Dr. Mahjoubi has found great success with patients struggling to break the cycle of alcohol dependence with an effective ketamine treatment program. Over 90% of his patients have either stopped or significantly reduced their drinking after completing five IV infusions and micro-dosing with an at-home ketamine nasal spray. By following his specific protocol, Dr. Mahjoubi has helped many patients with alcohol dependence have their remission last well over a year.

“I have found that heavy drinkers experienced progress after just two infusions and long-term improvement with five infusions and the usage of the spray at home. This has resulted in better interpersonal relationships with their spouses and increased productivity at work. The benefits have truly been remarkable,” says Dr. David Mahjoubi.

New studies and research are showing how intravenous ketamine therapy can significantly benefit those trying to overcome alcoholism. The mechanism by which this works is the ketamine blocking the N Methyl D Aspartate Receptor (NMDAR), which is important for reorganizing memories, which in turn influences reward centers in the brain. Ketamine can significantly help those fighting to overcome alcohol addiction stay sober and make positive changes in their lives to become healthier individuals.

More About Dr. David Mahjoubi:

David Mahjoubi, MD, is a board-certified Anesthesiologist and diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology. He earned his medical degree from The Chicago Medical School and completed his residencies at UCLA Medical Center and USC-L.A. Country Hospital. He then joined the Anesthesia Group at Northridge Hospital Medical Center and became the most active user of IV ketamine for both conscious sedation and general anesthesia cases. Dr. Mahjoubi carries over a decade of experience with intravenous ketamine, dating back to 2007. Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles was founded in 2014 and provides highly effective treatment plans for patients suffering from alcoholism, depression, anxiety, PTSD and chronic pain, including CRPS.

The Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles is located at 1762 Westwood Blvd, Suite 320 in Los Angeles, CA. Contact the clinic to schedule a consultation, and begin your journey to a life free from alcohol addiction with a safe, effective ketamine treatment program from Dr. David Mahjoubi.
