Kyle Kingsbury’s Top 10 Biohacking Tips on the Shamangelic Healing Podcast

Leave a comment


Kyle Kingsbury

Human optimization is about living each day a little bit better than the last


SEDONA, Ariz. (PRWEB)

Certified High Performance Coach and founder of Shamangelic Healing, Anahata Ananda, invited Kyle Kingsbury, world renowned retired mix martial artist and current Human Optimization Director at Onnit to share his top 10 biohacking tips for health and fitness on Episode 22 of the Shamangelic Healing Podcast. Biohacking is described as the practice of changing the body’s physiology through self-experimental techniques and practices for the purpose of increased emotional balance, energy and physical enhancement. With so many people focusing on healthy ways to sustain feeling at their best, the broad scope of the term includes a focus on everything from sleep, nutrition, exercise to meditation and emotional well-being.

Kingsbury has been a pioneer in field of human optimization with years of implementing, ongoing experimentation and successes with a variety of physical, mental, spiritual and emotional states to increase a sense of rounded well-being. ”Human optimization is about living each day a little bit better than the last,” shares Kingsbury. He shares tips from high-tech methodologies to simple, everyday changes people can implement immediately. The foundation he builds everything off of and his number one tip of for mental clarity, energy, body repair, and rejuvenation focuses on quality of sleep. Sleeping in complete darkness with a cool room temperature are two things which can assist the body in releasing sleep-inducing melatonin. Practices as simple as turning off stimulating devices such as tv, cell phones and computers a few hours before going to bed can significantly affect the ease of falling asleep and quality of rest one receives throughout the night. Refraining from caffeinated foods and beverages can assist as well.

Kingsbury’s second main focus is on breathing techniques. Oxygenating the body and brain is a key element for physical function. “There are a million different ways we can breathe yet so many people are breathing in a way that put them into a state of fight or flight,” emphasizes Kingsbury. Fully expanding the lungs with a technique called “belly breathing” is a way to counteract this and increase the oxygen flow throughout the body. He encourages using the breath to calm the mind, access the parasympathetic nervous system, clear thoughts, deepen sleep, release heavy emotions, balance the brain and activate altered states of consciousness. Through Anahata’s signature Shamangelic Breathwork Ceremony clients can experience this state of being for cathartic release, emotional reset and physical rejuvenation.

Further tips he includes revolve around being in alignment to the natural world. Sun-gazing, revitalization in nature through simple walks and connection to the earth have been shown to restorative effects on the physical body. Kingsbury shares that movement on a daily basis is a key component to assisting the body to keep in an optimal state of being. Anahata offers Vortex Land Journeys for those visiting Sedona with a desire to experience a connection to the land and its healing properties. Varying the intensity of what the physical body is subject to is also a key factor. Exposure to hot and cold temperature extremes such as ice baths and saunas are is addressed as are various methods for calming the mind and nervous system. Anahata and Kingsbury even dive into the importance of play and recreation for creative stimulation, happiness and rounded well-being.

Kyle Kingsbury is a retired mixed martial artist who fought in the UFC for 6 years. He is currently the Director of Human Optimization at Onnit and the host of the Kyle Kingsbury podcast- a top 100 podcast in health and wellness. Kyle’s focus is on the optimization of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life.

Anahata blends the compassion and tenderness of an Angel and the wisdom and strength of a Shaman to guide profound journeys of core healing and spiritual awakening. As a Certified High-Performance Coach, Shamanic Healer and Soul Guide, Anahata has guided thousands of individuals across the globe through core life shifts, helping them to turn their life around and create the life of their dreams.

Clarity Food Ventures announces its official business launch and the debut of Soup Explorers, a line of globally-inspired, premium refrigerated soup kits

Leave a comment


Soup Explorers Chicken Pho

We believe food, and soups in particular, have the power to transport you to some remarkable places.


CHICAGO (PRWEB)

Today, Clarity Food Ventures LLC is pleased to announce its official business launch and the debut of Soup Explorers, a line of globally-inspired, premium refrigerated soup kits that can be conveniently prepared in three minutes or less. Four varieties are available, including: Vietnamese Chicken Phở; Vietnamese Vegetable Phở; American Chicken Noodle; and Moroccan Chilled Cucumber.

“We want to share soups from around the world in a way that honors traditional preparation methods and highlights authentic ingredients that captivate your senses in an unforgettable way. We believe food, and soups in particular, have the power to transport you to some remarkable places. Soup Explorers brings to life soups that are every bit as delicious as they are authentic and imaginative,” noted Linda Yeh-Ostrinsky, the company’s co-founder.

Soup Explorers soups are crafted in partnership with some of Chicago’s most beloved restaurants. The Vietnamese Phởs were created hand-in-hand with Mary Nguyen Aregoni and Theresa Nguyen, the restaurateurs behind Chicago’s acclaimed Saigon Sisters® Restaurants. The result? A truly delicious and authentic culinary experience, delivered in the convenience of a ready-to-heat soup kit. The American Chicken Noodle and Moroccan Chilled Cucumber soups have unique personalities and were developed in collaboration with Soupbox® restaurant’s founder Jamie Taerbaum, who has been in the soup business for 25 years.

Soup Explorers’ line of globally-inspired and locally-crafted, refrigerated soup kits are in-touch with the needs and wants of today’s modern consumers and retailers. The soup kits, which are available at select Chicagoland retailers, are dairy-free, nut-free and void of artificial ingredients or preservatives. Each kit contains: a bottle of slow-simmered broth (not a dehydrated broth packet); individually-packed cooked proteins and noodles; aromatic garnish of vegetables and herbs; and a biodegradable, palm leaf bowl. To enjoy, the proteins, noodles and broth are combined in the palm leaf bowl and heated in a microwave for two minutes. The soup experience is complete when the aromatic garnish is added on top.

To deliver this experience to consumers, innovation with cold-pressed methods plays a central role. As co-founder, Debarshi Sengupta, explains, “our soup kits are cold-pressed to lock in flavors and nutrients for an unbelievably aromatic and fresh-tasting experience and to significantly extend shelf life. It’s an important and recent food innovation that improves the quality of food we eat; it is commonly used for cold-pressed juices. Now, we’re bringing it to soups!”

Ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible, and Soup Explorers packaging is mostly recyclable or compostable to minimize environmental impact. Soup Explorers kits that are close to shelf-life expiration will be donated to local food pantries.

For more information about Soup Explorers and its growing line of globally-inspired, locally-crafted soups kits, interested consumers and retailers should visit soupexplorers.com and contact:

Get Cheaper Car Insurance Rates Using The Following Tips

Leave a comment


News Image

“Drivers can obtain cheaper car insurance rates easily. All they have to do, is to follow several money-saving methods”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents how drivers can obtain cheaper car insurance rates.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-to-make-car-insurance-rates-cheaper/.

Everyone wants to pay lower car insurance premiums. However, in recent years, the insurance costs have been on the rise and the tendency is expected to continue throughout the entire 2019.

To lower the costs of car insurance, drivers should follow the next tips:


  • Drivers should consider increasing deductibles. To obtain cheaper car insurance, drivers can agree to pay more money from their budget If they have to make a claim. Policyholders should put away the money necessary for filing a claim.

  • Consider driving fewer miles. If a policyholder doesn’t drive his car too often, he might be eligible for a low mileage discount that typically ranges from 15% to 20%.

  • Bundle multiple policies. Policyholders can easily bundle their car insurance with their homeowner’s insurance. In some cases, a policyholder can save as much as 20% simply by bundling multiple policies into one.

  • Install safety devices. Many insurance companies offer generous discounts for drivers that make their cars safer. Safety devices like a rearview camera, GPS tracking system, immobilizers, airbags, blind-spot detectors, various anti-theft devices will make the car safer. The value of the discounts varies depending on the type of device installed.

  • Be a good driver. A driver with no traffic tickets and no accidents for a number of years is eligible for a safe driver discount. Most insurance companies will lower premium rates after three years of clean driving, while other insurers will wait even five years to provide this discount. Usually, this discount will lower insurance rates by 10%-20%.

  • Consider usage-based programs. Many insurance companies offer this type of program. Usually, a small telematics device is installed inside the driver’s vehicle. This device will send driving habits data back to the insurer. Drivers with good driving habits are rewarded with large discounts

TapRooT® Incident Investigation Techniques book

Using the Essential TapRooT® Techniques to Investigate Low-to-Medium Risk Incidents

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Before you understand ‘root cause analysis,’ you must understand ‘root cause.’ – Mark Paradies


KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB)

System Improvements, Inc. is pleased to open registration for the “Improving Investigations Track” at the 2020 Global TapRooT® Summit. Celebrating 32 years of the Summit, System Improvements’ week-long conference and its courses will be at Horseshoe Bay Resort, near Austin, Texas, March 9-13, 2020.

An essential tenet in TapRooT® root cause analysis and incident investigation is going “back to the basics,” or getting the fundamentals right. In an incident investigation, if the fundamentals are not accurate and true to what actually happened, the next steps are inconsequentially moot. The investigator must fulfill the prerequisite of fully discovering and documenting what happened. Until what happened is nailed down, the investigation cannot move to why the incident happened.

An experienced veteran of 30 years in root cause analysis research, development, and continuous improvement, TapRooT® co-creator Mark Paradies cautions, “But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Before you understand ‘root cause analysis,’ you must understand ‘root cause.'”

Listen to the discussion between Benna Hughes and Mark Paradies in the short video below to gain a thorough understanding of “root cause analysis” and “incident investigation.” Fully understanding these terms is the first step to being prepared to investigate and mitigate organizational incidents that repeat.

To build on the knowledge from the first video, watch this brief second video. After the videos, read about incident investigation and root cause analysis as a systematic process to glean important insights.

The “Improving Investigations” track at the Summit will include these sessions:

  • How to Improve Your Investigations

  • Using Causal Factors Worksheets

  • Leveraging the TapRooT® Software & App for Investigations

  • TapRooT® Users Share Success Stories

  • CHAP Workshop

  • Becoming A Better Investigator

  • Where Does Discipline Fit In?

The Summit is the best setting to learn how to implement the fundamentals and develop one’s roadmap to success—as well as meeting industry leaders and networking with professionals.

Browse the 2020 Global TapRooT® Summit schedule to view all tracks. We invite you to learn more about the Summit below:

  • View the 2020 Summit brochure.

  • Peruse and take advantage of the Pre-Summit Courses (March 9–10).

  • Read the Summit FAQ.

  • Check out the Summit venue—Horseshoe Bay Resort, near Austin, Texas.

  • Save money! Register 3 or more attendees simultaneously for a discount. Also, save when registering for the 3-day Summit plus a 2-day Pre-Summit course.

  • Use the Summit hashtag #taprootsummit to share TapRooT® experiences—before, during, and after the Summit.

About System Improvements Inc. – TapRooT®

Founded in 1988, TapRooT® solves hurdles every investigator faces. TapRooT® root cause analysis takes an investigator beyond his or her knowledge to think outside the box.

ACC Medlink’s Major Fleet Expansion in December 2019

Leave a comment


Partial Fleet of Medical Transportation Vans at ACC Medlink.

Some of ACC Medlink’s Fleet of Mercedes Sprinter Vans for Medical Transportation!


PUNTA GORDA, Fla. (PRWEB)

ACC Medlink has been waiting more than two years for their Mercedes Sprinter fleet expansion. This long awaited expansion was due to Amazon’s incredibly large purchase of these vehicles for their Prime delivery services. Although ACC Medlink’s fleet expansion had been delayed by Mercedes, they’ve recently received word on vehicle availability and are expecting to have the new 2020 Mercedes Sprinters with BlueTEC for clean emissions on the road for year end.

ACC Medlink specializes in long distance non-emergency medical transportation. Since they’ve been in business, more than 10,000 customers have been served well over a distance of 9 million miles. They have a fleet of Mercedes Sprinter vans all across the nation to handle any non-emergency long distance medical transport. Each vehicle has three comfortable beds allowed for non-stop transport from 300 to 3,000 miles. Medical professionals accompany the patient throughout the entire trip. The highly experienced medical professionals are chosen based on the needs of the patient. The medical professional gives the client that safe feeling that they’ll enjoy during their long transport.

In preparation of the new deliveries, the vehicles will go through an extensive process in Elkhart, Indiana to make them ready for this luxurious service, and incredibly safe for their customers. A structural engineer prepares each and every vehicle. An inspection service runs a crash simulation on the structural integrity of the materials used inside of the Mercedes Sprinter. They check the strength of the bed-plate welding, fittings, chairs, and other items in the back of the van. The goal of the inspections are to ensure that the modifications provide the safest possible vehicle for ACC Medlink customers. Since safety is the number one priority, ACC Medlink takes the extra steps to ensure the safety of all passengers aboard their medical transport vehicles. Other companies have a common bed in the back of their vans with extremely thin legs that were not designed for mobile application. If an accident were to occur, those legs could crumble and make matters worse.

As a company dedicated to providing a luxurious experience for long distance medical transportation, ACC Medlink goes above and beyond to make that a reality. They don’t use recreational vehicles (RVs), they don’t use minivans, they use the only D.O.T approved vehicle for medical transportation. The Mercedes Sprinter has long been an incredibly reliable vehicle specialized in safety, which makes it the perfect vehicle for such an important service. The safety of ACC Medlink’s customers is non-negotiable.

Car Insurance Experts Explain Why Credit Score Is Used As Rating Factor

Leave a comment


News Image

“Insurance companies use the credit score to determine how risky is to provide coverage to a client”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Carinsuranceplan.org has released a new blog post that explains why insurance companies use a person’s credit score to determine car insurance costs.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://carinsuranceplan.org/how-insurance-companies-use-credit-information-as-a-rating-factor/

Almost all car insurance companies use the credit score as a rating factor. The only states were insurance companies are prohibited to use credit information to determine policy rates, are California, Massachusetts, and Hawaii.

Insurance companies consider that a person’s credit score will provide more info on how risky it is to provide coverage. Drivers with good or excellent credit score, pay significantly lower insurance rates, than those that have a low, or poor credit score

Independent studies have evaluated the impact of credit score over a driver’s insurance rates.. These studies concluded that:


  • On average, drivers that have poor credit score can expect to pay twice as much for car insurance rates than drivers that have an excellent credit score.

  • Improving the credit score from poor to good, can save 32% on insurance premiums

  • Improving the credit score from good to excellent can save an additional 27% on the car insurance rate.
