A recent study1 from the Centre for Nutrition, Exercise, and Metabolism has shed light on the keto diet’s effects on gut microbiome composition. The research, published in Cell Reports Medicine, revealed that the keto diet notably decreases levels of Bifidobacteria, often referred to as “skinny bacteria” for their critical role in weight control. This reduction in beneficial bacteria can lead to a host of digestive issues, including bloating and rebound weight gain, as the balance of the gut microbiome is disrupted.
“The keto diet, while effective in the short term, often disrupts the balance of beneficial gut bacteria, leading to issues like bloating and rebound weight gain,” says Dr. Matt Olesiak, Chief Medical Director at SANE. “This recent study highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy gut microbiome, and it’s clear that the keto diet can compromise this balance, making it harder to sustain weight loss.”
Viscera-3™ offers a targeted solution to these challenges with its advanced formulation, including sodium butyrate and tributyrin. While a butyrate supplement alone is not effective because it’s an “unstable molecule” that can be destroyed in the digestive process before reaching the lower colon—where it is most needed—SANE MD has overcome this obstacle. The inclusion of a patented form of tributyrin, a precursor to butyric acid, ensures that the butyrate acid supplement reaches the colon intact, promoting optimal gut health. This tributyrin supplement is an anti-gas and bloating solution that may help millions relieve digestive issues and lose weight sustainably.
During his research, Dr. Olesiak discovered four additional nutrients that synergistically and naturally support gut health: magnesium, chromium, pomegranate fruit extract, and grape seed extract. These ingredients were meticulously included in Viscera-3™’s formula, creating the ultimate supplement for a healthy gut and body. Magnesium and chromium play crucial roles in digestive and metabolic health, while pomegranate fruit extract and grape seed extract are powerful in boosting metabolism.
This breakthrough formulation does more than just support gut health; it provides bloating relief for women and men alike, helping to maintain a balanced metabolism without the harsh effects of the keto diet. Whether you’re seeking bloating relief for women or bloating relief for men, Viscera-3™’s ability to nurture a diverse gut microbiome makes it an ideal choice for those seeking long-term weight management solutions.
“Viscera-3™ is designed to address the root cause of digestive discomfort and support a healthy gut microbiome, which is essential for long-term weight management,” says Jonathan Bailor, founder and CEO of SANE MD. With the backing of leading experts in metabolic health, Viscera-3™ stands out as a superior alternative to restrictive diets that can do more harm than good.
For those who are concerned about gut health and weight maintenance, Viscera-3™ offers a more balanced and sustainable approach. With its unique blend of tributyrin and additional synergistic nutrients, Viscera-3™ is not only an effective solution for bloating relief but also a proactive step towards achieving and maintaining a healthy weight without the drawbacks of restrictive diets like keto.
Viscera-3™ is now available for purchase nationwide on Amazon. To learn more about Viscera-3™ or to make a purchase, visit: https://a.co/d/fRlK27G

The Employee Ownership Expansion Network (EOX) announced today the creation of the West Virginia Center for Employee Ownership (WVCEO). WVCEO is a new initiative aimed to scale employee ownership in the state – it is the 15th state center in the EOX network and the 23rd state center created in the U.S.
WVCEO serves as the central hub for information and resources around employee ownership in West Virginia, and provides resources, case studies, and articles, as well as a list of service providers who can assist with employee ownership transitions. WVCEO has a goal to help maintain jobs in West Virginia by growing the number of employee-owned businesses.
The University of Charleston (UC) is partnering with the WVCEO on its educational mission. UC’s Downtown Innovation Hub and its School of Business will collaborate on events and programs designed for the business community as well as students.
Tim Gibbons, Executive Director of WVCEO, founded the organization because, “Many business owners in West Virginia are nearing retirement age and will be looking to transition their businesses over the next ten years.” Gibbons goes on to say, “Selling a business to employees can be an excellent strategy for retiring business owners who want to see their businesses continue to operate in West Virginia after they retire.”
In addition to preserving jobs in West Virginia, employee ownership can help attract and retain good employees, provide tax benefits to the selling owner(s) and the employee-owned company, improve company performance, and enable employees to build wealth over time.
“The WVCEO will bring a unique set of resources and expertise to state businesses,” shared UC President Marty Roth. “Succession planning is an often overlooked aspect of company sustainability. Raising awareness and understanding of employee ownership as a community-based transition strategy will enhance the options accessible to business owners, employees, and their families.”
For more information on the West Virginia Center for Employee Ownership please contact Tim Gibbons at [email protected].

“Salesian missionaries are on the forefront of humanitarian efforts in more than 130 countries around the globe and aid in humanitarian relief during times of natural disasters, traumatic circumstances and civil strife,” explained Father Michael Conway, director of Salesian Missions. “Because Salesian missionaries live in the communities they serve, they are often on the front lines of humanitarian disasters. Whether providing clothing and shelter in the immediate aftermath or assisting the long recovery process to help families rebuild their homes and salvage their livelihoods, Salesians are perfectly positioned to help.”
In honor and celebration of World Humanitarian Day 2024, Salesian Missions is proud to highlight humanitarian and transformative programming in countries around the globe.
DR CONGO People who have been internally displaced and are living at Camp Don Bosco, located at the Don Bosco Ngangi Youth Center in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo*, had access to healthy nutrition thanks to a partnership between Salesian Missions and Feed My Starving Children. The donation helped 2,780 people over three months in 2023.
The war between a rebel group and the loyalist FARDC army has been going on for nearly two years. Camp Don Bosco was set up in the fall of 2022. Don Bosco Ngangi Youth Center welcomed the displaced people and allowed them to use a plot of land that was once used for youth sports activities. Most of the 21,000 people camped on the land were displaced from Rutshuru and Nyiragongo.
A Salesian noted, “The highly nutritious food from Feed My Starving Children has been warmly welcomed by the families living in the camp. The families know that they are getting much-needed nutrition and are able to provide healthy meals for their families. Families with children testify that this food is highly nutritious and facilitates a quick recovery of malnourished children.”
HAITI Salesian students in Haiti received healthy nutrition thanks to a partnership between Salesian Missions and Rise Against Hunger. The shipment was received by the Salesian-run Vincent Foundation and then distributed to seven Salesian centers and schools in the second half of 2023. More than 3,100 youth were impacted by the donation.
The Vincent Foundation school, located southwest of Cap-Haïtien, was founded by President Stentio Joseph Vincent in 1936. It was handed over to the Salesians in 1955. The professional school offers courses in tailoring, cabinetmaking, automobile mechanics, electricity and agricultural technology. In addition to this school, the shipment was shared with Don Bosco Technique, Lakay Don Bosco, Timkatec, Lakay Foyer and Atelier, and Lakou CDR and Atelier.
Salesians serve vulnerable youth around the country. Haiti is experiencing high levels of insecurity, including looting and hostage-taking. The Cap-Haïtien area is also facing extremely high inflation and almost complete unavailability of fuel for transportation.
NAMIBIA Don Bosco Private School in Namibia received classroom furniture thanks to a donation from Furniture Reuse Solutions secured by Salesian Missions. Furniture Reuse Solutions has a commitment to sustainability and societal benefit. The company provides charities and nonprofits with gifts-in-kind donations that aid in their humanitarian missions.
The furniture is being used in the classrooms, computer lab, staff room and small school hall. All of these locations lacked furniture before this donation arrived. The donation has impacted 230 students, 16 teaching staff and indirectly more than 500 parents who are happy with the resources for their children.
The combination of desks and chairs for students is the first of its kind at Don Bosco Private School. Salesians report that the furniture has made the learning environment more relaxing for the students, who would have otherwise been disadvantaged because of the lack of desks and chairs. The new desks and chairs also create neatness in the class and with more space for movement among the rows and for class activities. Both students and teachers appreciate the new classroom set-up. The school plans to add more classrooms in order to better serve the local population.
NIGERIA The Salesian Hostel in the Don Bosco community of Onitsha, located in the Anambra State of Nigeria, has the support needed for a new roof project thanks to donor funding from Salesian Missions. While the roof is not yet completed, the funding helped pay for construction of roof beams, fabrication of the iron trusses, and connection, fixing and anchorages of the structural steel works.
Close to 800 youth, ages 11-18, are boarders of the hostel and will benefit from this project. The roof also creates a safer workplace for educators, Salesian staff and personnel at the hostel. A Salesian noted, “This new roof is ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for everyone who is staying and working at the hostel. We are grateful for donor support.”
Salesians have been working in Nigeria since 1982, providing social and educational support for poor youth and their families. Currently, Salesians have five technical and training centers in the country, two child protection centers, a health care center, a secondary school, nine youth centers and one formation center.
Salesians also operate a school of philosophy and six job service offices to help youth who are graduating from Salesian schools with access to employment. In addition, Salesians have two farm projects and a migration office, and they have completed 41 water boreholes to ensure clean water across Nigeria.
*Any goods, services or funds provided by Salesian Missions to programs located in this country were administered in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control.
About Salesian Missions USA Salesian Missions is headquartered in New Rochelle, NY, and is part of the Don Bosco Network—a worldwide federation of Salesian NGOs.

“While GLP-1 treatments are currently expensive, there is an argument that they could be cost-effective over time due to their potential to reduce complications related to diabetes and cardiovascular events,” says Josh Schreiner, Chief Product Officer at HealthEZ. “Investing in obesity treatment may result in long-term savings by preventing the onset or progression of obesity-related issues like type 2 diabetes, and result in improved employee health.”
Given these factors, employers must consider both immediate financial implications and future health outcomes when deciding on health plan coverage.
In the meantime, HealthEZ says a comprehensive approach to obesity management should be anchored in a smart wellness and weight loss program. HealthEZ has developed an effective program that has demonstrated strong employee engagement which is based on coaching and having registered nurses on staff, and uses educational lunch-and-learns and webinars to enhance the approach.
“Wellness programs that provide nutritional guidance, physical activity support and behavioral counseling remain a key in addressing this issue to help employees,” says Schreiner. “By providing access to a multidisciplinary approach, employers can enhance the efficacy of GLP-1 treatments and support sustainable lifestyle changes.”
Based in Bloomington, Minnesota, HealthEZ is a national independent third-party administrator of employer-sponsored, self-funded medical plans and America’s PPO, the nation’s first preferred provider organization. On a mission to make health insurance easy to understand and more efficient from provider to patient and the employers who fund their plans, HealthEZ launched EZ Pay, the nation’s first consumer medical “tap & pay” app making bills easier to understand and simpler to pay. The company partners with employers throughout the United States to deliver better access to healthcare for their employees while ensuring value and improving outcomes.
