New Yoga Book Gives Vital Insight into Dealing with Back Pain


News Image

“My goal for the book is to help people regain their quality of life and move out of pain; guiding individuals to return to everyday life with minimal discomfort”

Chronic back pain can be a bad link to dependence on opioids, anxiety, depression and a reduced overall quality of life according to a study done by the CDC. That same study showed that 28% of all adults in the U.S. suffer from various levels of back pain.

Anna Eshoo, a certified yoga therapist, has had personal experience with lower back pain and multiple surgeries that motivated her to put her knowledge down on paper in the form of “Yoga: A Journey into a Healthy Spine”.

“Not only did I want to learn to heal myself, but I also wanted to help others to heal,” Eshoo said.

Eshoo wrote the book to explain in detail, without overwhelming the reader, about the anatomy, functions, and dysfunctions of the lumbar and sacral (lower back) regions of the spine.

By providing a guide to understanding the basic anatomy of the lower back and whole-body integration, Eshoo incorporates breathing, meditation and therapeutic techniques to help readers restore strength and mobility to live comfortable, healthy lives.

“My goal for the book is to help people regain their quality of life and move out of pain; guiding individuals to return to everyday life with minimal discomfort,” Eshoo said.

“Yoga: A Journey into a Healthy Spine”

By Anna Eshoo

ISBN: 9798765226766 (softcover); 9798765226773 (electronic)

Available at BalboaPress, Amazon and Barnes & Noble

Rare Cannabinoid Company Announces THCV Oil Tinctures and THCV Gummies Offer


Rare Cannabinoid Company THCV products: Extra strength THCV gummies, pure THCV oil, and a one-to-one blend of THCV and full spectrum Hawaiian CBD oil.

Rare Cannabinoid Company THCV products: Extra strength THCV gummies, pure THCV oil, and a one-to-one blend of THCV and full spectrum Hawaiian CBD oil.

We designed this offer on our THCV products to help people get in shape and feel their best in 2023.

Rare Cannabinoid Company is offering a special deal on THCV oil tinctures and THCV gummies to help customers kickstart their New Year’s Resolutions.

Buy One Get One 50% Off. The offer pertains to:


“We designed this offer on our THCV products to help people get in shape and feel their best in 2023,” said a company spokesperson.

What is THCV? Found in hemp and cannabis, THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin) is a minor cannabinoid that naturally occurs in very small quantities. Although it sounds similar to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), THCV effects are very different. In addition to not being psychoactive, THCV benefits are quite unique.

Reviews show that people mostly take THCV gummies and THCV tinctures with the goals of:

  • Suppressing appetite and aiding weight loss
  • Increasing energy and alertness
  • Reducing nicotine and other cravings

“In rodent studies, THCV decreases appetite, increases satiety, and up-regulates energy metabolism, making it a clinically useful remedy for weight loss and management of obesity and type 2 diabetic patients,” says the National Library of Medicine.

Meanwhile, this rodent study, showed potential anti-nicotine effects.

However, it is important to note that, similar to CBD and other cannabinoids, THCV research is still in its infancy and mostly limited to animal and preclinical studies. THCV edibles and oils should not be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Despite increased interest in potential THCV weight loss, THCV energy, and other possible THCV benefits or side effects, studies are lacking. This is largely due to the previous legal restrictions on hemp and because THCV extract was only able to be isolated recently. In fact, Rare Cannabinoid Company was the first to offer a pure THCV oil for sale online and in stores.

Details of Rare Cannabinoid Company’s THCV Offer: There is no coupon code necessary. To buy THCV with this deal, customers will put two THCV products in their cart and the lease expensive will be 50% off. There is no limit to the number of THCV oil products they can buy. If they buy 4, 2 will be 50% off. If they buy 6, 3 will be 50% off etc.

Offer ends the evening of Monday, January 9. Or while supplies last.

Rare Cannabinoid Company is based in the 50th state of Hawaii. All products are manufactured in a CGMP-certified facility and undergo third-party lab testing with results online. Products from Rare Cannabinoid Company and its sister brand, Hawaiian Choice CBD, can be found in about 400 locations across the United States, Japan, Brazil, and elsewhere. These include Hawaiian full spectrum CBD (cannabidiol), broad spectrum CBD, CBD isolate, and pure oils and gummies and blends of CBC (cannabichromene), CBG (cannabigerol), CBN (cannabinol), CBGA (cannabigerolic acid), CBDA (cannabidiolic acid), THC, THCV, and terpenes.

For the current THCV BOGO 50% Off offer, the items on sale are:

THCV gummies: Extra strength THCV gummies each contain 25mg THCV, which is a very large amount of THCV extract as others on the market usually contain between 1 and 5 mg. They are vegan, and naturally flavored with lemon.

Pure THCV oil tincture: The world’s first purified THCV tincture contains 500mg THCV in certified organic MCT coconut oil.

THCV and full spectrum Hawaiian CBD oil blend: This one-to-one blend contains pure THCV oil and CBD extracted from premium hemp grown on the Hawaiian island of Maui. As a rich, full spectrum oil, it offers the entourage effect.

Customers can buy THCV online with the special BOGO 50% Off offer here.

OHM Fitness Signs Deal to Open 35 Locations in New Jersey & Washington, D.C.


Alyssa Kapneck, Doug Payne, Jake Kapneck

OHM Fitness is going to change the way people in the U.S. work out. It’s all about efficiency and using technology to get better results in less time; we use tech to make every other part of our lives more efficient, and now it’s time for fitness to catch up.

OHM Fitness will open 35 EMS fitness studios in New Jersey and Washington D.C. through its newest franchise partners over the next few years.

Jake & Alyssa Kapneck have secured the Area Representative rights to the high-growth electro-muscle stimulation fitness concept, with the ability to open up 30 locations in New Jersey and five locations in the district. They also have locked down the first rights to bring the concept to Maryland once the new franchise is officially registered in that state.

OHM Fitness offers a high-tech, high-energy EMS fitness experience that packs the benefits of an intense two-hour workout into a low-impact, 25-minute session. The first studio opened in the company’s headquarters in Scottsdale, Ariz. in June and since then, the company has already sold the rights to five territories including 121 total franchise licenses. Territories currently in development include Arizona (the entire state), San Diego, South Florida, New Jersey and Washington, D.C.

The Kapnecks have extensive experience in franchising. The married New Jersey natives owned and operated a number of European Wax Center franchises in Maryland, operating a total of eight locations until they sold the business in August 2022. OHM Fitness immediately caught their attention, and they flew to Scottsdale to experience the studio and meet with the founding team.

“OHM Fitness is going to change the way people in the U.S. workout. It’s all about efficiency and using technology to get better results in less time; we use tech to make every other part of our lives more efficient, now it’s time for fitness to catch up,” said Jake Kapneck. “I was sold on the concept before my first class was over. I’m confident this is going to take off in a big way in New Jersey and Washington, D.C.”

The duo is starting the search for their first location in both markets, looking for ideal retail locations with around 2,000 square feet.

At OHM Fitness, guests are immersed in a high-tech fitness experience with every visit. The EMPower Suit has the ability to produce impressive results with a desirably low rate of wear and tear on the joints, ligaments, and muscles. While the body’s central nervous system can only send frequency impulses that control up to 50% of your muscle fibers during an exercise, the EMS technology within the wireless EMPower Bodysuit activates 95% of the muscle and is able to send impulses to muscle fibers up to one hundred times faster, causing muscles to feel fatigued faster than a traditional weight training exercise.

“We are able to deliver better results than a person can achieve from spending two or three hours in the gym in one 25-minute class, three times per week. OHM Fitness is completely different from any other fitness concept in the U.S. today,” said Founder & CEO Doug Payne. “This technology has been popular in Europe for decades, and others have tried similar concepts in the U.S. but no one has found the right delivery and format. We have nailed it and our members’ results are mind-blowing.”

This low-impact workout has been connected to researched-based benefits such as fat loss, skin health, energy, stress and anxiety levels, muscle strength, and acute and chronic pain.

OHM Fitness is a special first-to-market franchise opportunity for entrepreneurs and experienced franchise industry professionals who are eager to capture their share in the $96 billion dollar fitness industry. The initial franchise fee is $39,000 and the total estimated initial investment ranges from $107,150 to $328,000. For more information about franchise opportunities available in your area, please visit http://www.OHMfitness.com or email Franchising@OHMfitness.com.

About OHM Fitness

Founded in Scottsdale, Ariz., OHM Fitness currently offers area developer and franchisee opportunities to qualifying entrepreneurs.

UFC Hall of Famer Rashad Evans Joins Naturals2Go as Owner-Operator and Professional Athlete and Business Ambassador


Rashad Evans - UFC Hall of Famer

Rashad Evans – UFC Hall of Famer

I was drawn to Natural2Go’s mission of helping others achieve their goals, to find their ‘why’ and to fuel their passion. I’m so excited to start my journey of helping others fill their competitive void, find their purpose, and help their communities live healthier lives.

Naturals2Go, a division of VendTech International and a leader in the healthy snack and beverage vending industry, is pleased to announce the addition of former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Hall of Famer and ESPN Analyst Rashad Evans. Evans has joined the Naturals2Go leadership team as a professional athlete and business ambassador and is also the Owner-Operator of his own healthy vending business.

“When I first had the opportunity to meet and talk with Rashad, I was immediately impressed with his vision.” says Heath Falzarano, President of Naturals2Go. “From the moment we first met, Rashad’s passion for personal growth and helping the community radiated. As he shared his history and his goals for the future, there were such strong correlations to Naturals2Go that we both realized there was a natural fit.”

His dedication and passion for helping others find purpose in the next phase of their life will allow others to follow his path to business ownership.

“Near the end of my professional fighting career, I realized I didn’t have the same drive and passion for fighting that I once did,” says Rashad. “You begin to doubt yourself and there is a void created. Some may slip into depression, and I realized that I needed to fill that competitive void and find myself again.”

After retiring from professional fighting, Rashad joined forces with former Pro-Bowl NFL Quarterback Jake Plummer and advocate and educator Del Jolly to launch the functional mushroom company UMBO. UMBO produces a full line of functional mushroom foods and supplements created to fuel focus, energy and recovery.

“It was through UMBO that I first had the opportunity to meet Heath, the President of Naturals2Go,” said Evans. “As we talked, I realized we both shared the same passion and drive for helping others. I was drawn to Natural2Go’s mission of helping others achieve their goals, to find their ‘why’ and to fuel their passion. I’m so excited to start my journey of helping others fill their competitive void, find their purpose, and help their communities live healthier lives.”
