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

SEDONA, Ariz. (PRWEB)
November 29, 2019

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.

One cannot understate the impact of David Rose’s work and vision in American education, and beyond.

BOSTON (PRWEB)
November 27, 2019

A groundbreaking researcher whose work lies at the intersection of education and cognitive neuroscience was awarded the twelfth annual prize for “Transforming Education Through the Science of Learning.” The award was established to honor individuals who represent excellence in connecting educators to the latest in the science of learning and is funded by the Learning & the Brain® Foundation. The award comes with a $2,500 prize.

David Rose is being honored for his work as a developmental neuropsychologist and educator whose primary focus is on the development of new technologies for learning. In 1984, he co-founded CAST, a not-for-profit research and development organization whose mission is to improve education, for all learners, by combining an inclusive perspective and findings from the cognitive neurosciences, technology, and design. That work has grown into a new field called Universal Design for Learning which now influences educational policy and practice throughout the United States and many other countries.

Dr. Rose is a prolific author of academic articles as well as books for the general educational audience including Universal Design for Learning: Theory & Practice (2014) and Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age: Universal Design for Learning (2002). Dr. Rose has also taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Education for over three decades and continues to work with CAST in an emeritus roll.

David Rose has received praise from many of his colleagues in the field. David B. Daniel, PhD, Professor of Psychology at James Madison University and the 2013 winner of the award, said about the new recipient, “One cannot understate the impact of David Rose’s work and vision in American education, and beyond. He courageously leveraged his innovative thinking and passion into a movement to ensure that ALL students are given the materials and scaffolds to learn in a way that is most productive for the way they can learn best. David Rose’s kindness, coupled with his keen intellectual power, are appreciated by everyone with whom he interacts. He is also an innovative teacher who continually redesigns his pedagogy to adapt to the students he teaches.”

According to Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, EdD, a Professor of Education at the Rossier School of Education, a Professor of Psychology at the Brain and Creativity Institute, a member of the Neuroscience Graduate Program Faculty at the University of Southern California, and the inaugural winner of this award, “David Rose’s pathbreaking work on Universal Design for Learning is a seminal contribution to education policy and practice, and a major force for good in children’s lives. At the launch of the digital era in schools, David showed educators how digital media could be leveraged to provide the flexibility that would enable access to all learners. His brilliance provided a lifeline for learners with disabilities, and made material better and more accommodating for all.”

Dr. Daniel presented the prize to Dr. Rose in front of an audience of 1,200 educators at the Learning & the Brain® educational conference in Boston, MA on Saturday, November 23, held at the Westin Copley Hotel. The Learning & the Brain® Foundation wishes Dr. Rose our heartiest congratulations.

“We have seen firsthand the value such tools can create for life science organizations. With the release of this new paper, we’re hoping to highlight that value as well as some of the concerns that come with tool adoption and implementation.”

LEXINGTON, Mass. (PRWEB)
November 26, 2019

Cognition Corporation, a software company specializing in medical device compliance and commercialization, has just released a new eBook on adopting compliance software tools in life science product development.

Compliance software tools are often leveraged by life science organizations to manage the complexities of compliance with regulatory requirements and international standards. These electronic systems offer development teams distinct advantages in both the premarket and postmarket management of their products.

“As a vendor of a compliance software ourselves,” says David Cronin, CEO of Cognition Corporation, “We have seen firsthand the value such tools can create for life science organizations. With the release of this new paper, we’re hoping to highlight that value as well as some of the concerns that come with tool adoption and implementation.”

The new white paper outlines some of the key benefits compliance software adoption can bring to life science organizations, including the streamlining of necessary compliance activities and greater levels of accountability. It further goes on to explore some of the key challenges that companies need to consider before they move forward with adoption.

“As with any other part of the total product life cycle and quality management system for life sciences, there’s a certain amount of risk involved with implementing new software,” says Mr. Cronin. “Rather than just extolling the benefits of a compliance platform for life science businesses, we wanted to use this white paper as an opportunity to explore the fuller picture.”

Mr. Cronin adds that he hopes using this white paper to provide a clearer frame into the world of compliance software adoption, businesses looking to make a transition to newer tools are armed with the most information possible. “We understand how critical the decision to take on any new tool can be in product development, and we hope we can leverage our experience and share what we know with those who need it.”

The eBook is available for download here.

Cognition Corporation, based in Lexington, Massachusetts, has offered solutions for product development compliance for more than fifteen years. Cognition offers the Cognition Cockpit® Platform, along with engineering and validation support, and industry expertise. Thousands of users worldwide use Cognition solutions to manage their product development process and meet regulatory, performance, and-time to-market goals.

Venezuelan singer José Luis Rodríguez, recipient of the Latin Recording Academy’s 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award

“I am grateful to the Academy for recognizing my singing career of more than 50 years; to my doctors who gave me these lungs; to my wife; to my friend Raimundo Santamarta, who accompanies me here today and whose product creation came in the nick of time; and to the donor and his family…”

MIAMI (PRWEB)
November 25, 2019

Considered one of the biggest pop icons and cultural treasures on the Latin American music scene for decades, Venezuelan singer José Luis Rodríguez (“El Puma”) received the Latin Recording Academy’s 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding artistic significance to Latin music during his more than 50-year career.

His frequent use of a nutraceutical containing the antioxidant Glutathione enabled El Puma to return to the stage in a surprisingly short time when, up until recently, he could sing only with the aid of an oxygen tank. After recovering successfully from a double lung transplant – in good health and with vitality – he received this well-deserved award while also on a successful tour of several cities throughout Latin America and the United States. El Puma’s 2019 Agradecido (Grateful) Tour includes stops in Bogotá, Miami, Guatemala, El Salvador, Santo Domingo, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and Mexico where he’s inspired by a tremendous spiritual motivation to celebrate, together with the public, the opportunity to sing again and share his experience of survival.

“I am grateful to the Academy for recognizing my singing career of more than 50 years; to my doctors who gave me these lungs; to my wife; to my friend Raimundo Santamarta, who accompanies me here today and whose product creation came in the nick of time; and to the donor and his family. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Now I want to enjoy every moment, every second, and celebrate the miracle of life,” said El Puma.
