Jazzercise, Inc. Launches New On-Demand Exercise Video Platform


https://www.prweb.com/

Jazzercise On Demand

Jazzercise, Inc., the company that pioneered aerobic dance fitness and became a global phenomenon, has launched its most contemporary and exciting initiative: Jazzercise On Demand. This app and web-based platform houses the global fitness leader’s first-ever on-demand exercise video subscription service and furthers Jazzercise’s commitment to making physical fitness accessible for everyone. Now, consumers can experience Jazzercise’s proven, effective and fun workout from wherever is most convenient – the living room, garage, home gym, or while traveling. This foray into virtual exercise instruction provides a solution for customers across the country who want access to Jazzercise, but may not live in proximity to a studio or center.

Jazzercise On Demand features exclusive new video content in 10, 20, 30 and 40-minute sessions. The videos offer a variety of choreography targeting all muscle groups and types of workouts, such as cardio, strength training, restorative and more. Jazzercise On Demand will release new video content each week to ensure subscribers can experience the same variety that in-studio consumers are provided. The videos are hosted by select Jazzercise “FitPro” instructors, including Jazzercise President, Shanna Missett Nelson.

“It has always been our goal to make physical fitness as enjoyable and accessible as possible. We are so excited to launch a platform that broadens our community, reengages those who may no longer have access to a studio, and allows Jazzercisers to keep up the great work wherever they are,” said Missett Nelson. “We are thrilled to supplement our fantastic franchises with this new streaming service.”

Jazzercise on Demand will be available for $19.99/month or $195/year on the Jazzercise On Demand website, or $19.99/month on the app, available in the App Store for iPhone, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick and Roku. Jazzercise Insiders, those who operate franchises, or who already have a recurring Jazzercise studio membership, will be able to purchase a subscription for $12.99/month.

This new release comes one month before the brand’s 50th anniversary, celebrating Founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett’s first classical jazz dance class that she transformed into the upbeat, dance cardio workout that changed the fitness industry. Before Missett, the common belief was that exercise was the domain of men. She disrupted this attitude by creating the heart-pumping choreographed class that has since grown into a global empire.

In the wake of the brand’s growing popularity, in 1982, Jazzercise became the first fitness program to franchise as a means of expanding. In the last 50 years, the single class of 15 women has expanded into 32,000 classes per week across 8,500 franchises worldwide. The release of Jazzercise On Demand further demonstrates Jazzercise’s ingenuity, continuing to evolve the program in ways that make physical fitness accessible and fun.

About Jazzercise

Jazzercise believes you can create a stronger, happier, healthier life through fitness. The company draws on the passion to motivate and inspire customers, instructors and employees to live healthier, fitter lives.

Gold Coast Traditions Launches New Organic Products


It’s fun to watch the surprise of parents when they see their kids actually like the taste of something so healthy!

Gold Coast Traditions, a family-owned certified organic food production company today announces the unveiling our latest products—Organic Cornbread Mix, Organic Oat Muffin Mix, and Organic Classic Pancake and Waffle Mix.

Gold Coast Traditions products are organic dry mixes made with carefully selected premium ingredients that provide consumers with quick, healthy, and delicious options. Parents who are concerned with providing their children with food that’s safe and healthy will find the Gold Coast brand to be a valuable solution they can feel good about without sacrificing taste. Eco-conscious consumers will enjoy the resealable and reusable packaging in addition to the organic nature of the product line, which contributes to the protection of natural resources and biodiversity.    

“We’re excited to offer products that help people feel positive about their food choice,” says Jennifer Mellard, company founder, “such as the mom who wants to reduce her child’s exposure to toxic chemicals in food, to the athlete who wants to fuel up with a healthier option, or even the person who simply wants to enjoy healthier food without compromising taste. We consider those to be winning choices! When you eat good, you feel good. When you feel good, you’re better prepared to take on what lies ahead.”

Finding an organic cornbread mix has been a near-impossible task, until now. Corn is one of the top genetically-modified crops in the United States. Now cornbread lovers can enjoy this popular side dish without the concern of GMO’s, growth hormones, toxic additives, or preservatives. Whether you’re enjoying a simple dinner at home or preparing a gameday feast, this cornbread is sure to get you in the winning spirit!

“Our cornbread has a lightly sweetened flavor and a fluffy soft texture that makes just the right addition to an endless variety of menus. You’ll be savoring every bite of this warm and delicious side dish,” added Mellard.

As for the Classic Pancake and Waffle Mix, this product creates the traditional pancake taste and texture most people grew up eating, but is made with trustworthy ingredients and methods. The Oat Muffin Mix provides a hearty and healthy option made with plant protein to give you a satisfying, easy-to-grab snack.

The company’s original product, Organic Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancake Mix, now in new packaging, remains a customer favorite due to no added sugar, seven grams of protein, and four grams of fiber. “It’s fun to watch the surprise of parents when they see their kids actually like the taste of something so healthy! It makes parents feel successful, and even relieved, to be able to feed their kids something that’s good for them,” said Mellard.

Dr. Aleem Manji of Langley Perio & Implants Treats Gum Disease with Minimally Invasive LANAP Laser Protocol


Dr. Aleem Manji - LANAP Clinician

Dr. Aleem Manji offers LANAP Laser Treatment for Gum Disease

Gum disease treatment can be both effective and also be relatively painless thanks to the use of PerioLase MVP-7 dental laser.

Dr. Aleem Manji of Langley Perio & Implants is pleased to offer the LANAP® protocol gum disease treatment and LAPIP™ protocol for ailing dental implants in the Langley, BC area. Dr. Manji joins an elite class of general practitioners implementing the premier no cut, no new, no fear regenerative treatments that prioritize patient comfort and deliver effective results.

“As the proud owner of Langley Perio and Implants, I look forward to maintaining our practice’s strong tradition of caring for our patients, which now includes offering the minimally invasive LANAP and LAPIP protocols,” said Dr. Manji. “Gum disease treatment can be both effective and also be relatively painless thanks to the use of PerioLase MVP-7 dental laser.”

LANAP treatment uses light energy from the PerioLase MVP-7 dental laser to target the source of gum disease, without harming or removing any healthy gum tissue, decreases pocket depth, and allows the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures. In cases of failing dental implants, the LAPIP treatment is used to treat peri-implantitis and save the implant. Patients report less pain and less post-op sensitivity and a quicker recovery when compared to traditional osseous surgery.

Gum disease is a chronic bacterial infection that rarely has any symptoms in its early stages. Despite the lack of symptoms or pain, the disease can still cause severe damage to your mouth, leading to loss of teeth, which has been tied to decreased lifespan. Additionally, several other serious illnesses like cancer, heart disease and diabetes have suggested links to gum disease.

“Many patients that are referred to our practice are surprised to learn that they have gum disease, often, good brushing and flossing habits are simply not enough,” added Dr. Manji. “In addition to preserving your gums and teeth, I am also concerned with treating your overall health, as untreated gum disease can potentially cause other illnesses to worsen.”

The LANAP protocol can be performed in as little as one treatment session and is safe to use on patients with health concerns such as diabetes, heart disease, and haemophilia, without discontinuing medication. It is the only scientifically proven laser gum disease treatment FDA cleared to regenerate the bone and tissues lost to gum disease.

The LANAP treatment is a patented procedure that requires doctors to complete intensive hands-on live patient training through the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry (IALD).

For information on the LANAP gum disease treatment, call Langley Perio & Implants at (604) 532-1080 for an appointment.

About Dr. Manji

Originally from Calgary, Dr. Manji completed his undergraduate training and dental degree at the University of Western Ontario in 2009. He subsequently completed his periodontal residency at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he obtained his Certificate in Periodontology and Masters Degree. His master’s thesis work on maxillary sinus pathology is published in the Journal of Implant Dentistry.

His expert background in advanced tissue regeneration and dental implant rehabilitation have brought him across Canada to lecture to numerous dental groups. He currently serves as an advisor to the Willowbrook Dental Specialists Study Club, which provides continuing education to dentists and their team members throughout the Fraser Valley.

“Low medication adherence is arguably the most significant problem in our health care ecosystem, costing over $300 billion dollars in the U.S. alone and leading to over 125,000 premature deaths each year,” said nGageIT Co-Founder Dr. Jennifer Murdoch, an expert in health systems. “The faster we get this out on the market, the more people we can help.”

nGageIT’s sensor technologies monitor when patients take either oral medications or give themselves medical injections at home. This data is automatically uploaded to the cloud through the patient’s smart phone and can be tracked in real-time by health care providers and in clinical trials. This leads to better compliance with medical advice and medical device use, and better health outcomes for the patient.

Patients taking high value medications for serious conditions such as breast cancer or rare orphan diseases can now rely on nGageIT’s predictive dosing system to verify the ingestion of medication and seamlessly automate complex dosing schedules. Physicians are empowered by the medication usage data to precisely customize therapy to a patient’s lifestyle, behavior or genes.

nGageIT’s NanoSmart oral encoding platform turns any approved oral dosage into a digital object. nGageIT’s NanoSmart Biosensor can detect a single, digitally encoded nanoparticle from the more than 2,500 substances in the human breath. The biosensor detects digitally encoded nanoparticles using food grade safe NanoSmart particles, reading them like an “ingestible bar code” from a detection device called the Noz. nGageIT’s platform does not require cumbersome sensor patches to be worn – the patient would simply breathe.

The NanoSmart encoding particles can be safely integrated into current oral dosage coatings used by pharmaceutical manufacturers, minimizing any supply chain disruptions. A compatible app then provides information on dosage and sends automated reminders to the patient. The patient can connect to their healthcare provider through video or live chat as needed.

nGageIT has also developed smart injection devices called iSenz and InsuloSenz that safely and non-invasively detect that proper doses of medication have been injected. nGageIT is the only company in the world that has developed devices that can scan and detect that medication has been injected below the skin, confirm the proper angle of the injection and verify its quality.

“With approximately 1.4 million new cases of diabetes diagnosed in the U.S. each year, smart tools like the iSenz and the InsuloSenz are helping patients inject with confidence,” said Dr. Murdoch of nGageIT Health Solutions.

The InsuloSenz Smart Injector is for more than just insulin delivery – it is a powerful tool designed to enhance diabetic care. InsuloSenz is customized to diabetics and guides the diabetic patient to inject insulin through flashing blue for the correct angle of injection, or red for an incorrect angle. By proactively correcting the injection angle, sub-optimal dosing can be prevented in diabetic patients, making diabetics free to “inject, detect and go.” The InsuloSenz sensor is also being developed to help diabetics determine the best place on the body to inject to prevent complications and poor absorption.

“Can you imagine having to take a shot four times a day and remember to do it on time and do it correctly?” said Raj Reddy, innovation lead at nGageIT Health Solutions. “I certainly can’t. Current insulin pens on the market are not all that smart — it’s like having cruise control but you still have to work the peddles on your car and monitor your speed,” he said. “Those devices don’t scan below the skin, they can’t detect the angle of the device or record the correct dosage. With our InsuloSenz sensor, it’s more like having “super” cruise control on so that you can read the newspaper while driving. This technology will really free up people’s time from complicated at home medication applications and reporting.”

Life science companies can gather the real life experience of patients from nGageIT’s custom patent-pending sensors to measure medication treatment effectiveness and optimize clinical outcomes. This also presents an opportunity for companies to engage in value-based contracts. With over 15 trillion doses of medications in the global supply chain and a substantially related number of disconnected patients — nGageIT aims to connect them all.

“nGageIT aims to improve wellness in the healthcare ecosystem and solve the $564 billion global problem of lost pharmaceutical revenue due to non-adherence and disengaged patients,” said nGageIT’s Raj Reddy. “We are focused on the $34 billion niche in the specialty high-value pharmaceutical market as well as the diabetic market.”

nGageIT Digital Health Solutions is currently evaluating strategic partnerships with major pharmaceutical manufacturers to commercialize its technology.
