SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
October 18, 2022

Yes Health, a leading digital health provider focused on weight loss, diabetes prevention and concierge health coaching, today announced it is now part of the Virgin Pulse partner ecosystem. Recognized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Yes Health program is an all-mobile weight loss and diabetes prevention solution that supports people with making healthier decisions at the exact time they need it. The program is now available to Virgin Pulse clients as part of its curated ecosystem, available via its Homebase for Health® platform addressing health, wellbeing, and navigation needs.

“Health plans and employers need digital health solutions that are convenient, keep people engaged, and are enjoyable to use, which is why Yes Health has been the perfect tool for organizations that want to inspire healthy lifestyles among their populations. Now, through the Virgin Pulse partner ecosystem, we can reach millions more people across thousands of organizations,” said Alex Petrov, founder and CEO of Yes Health. “By offering Yes Health to their populations, employers using Virgin Pulse are providing more than just a benefit. They are providing each person with a team of experts supported by the latest technology who empower them each and every day to set and achieve their health goals.”

Yes Health blends artificial intelligence (AI) with in-the-moment human coaching to inspire healthy behavioral change. Members virtually engage with health coaches on their smartphones at any time and are provided with a personalized, evidence-based plan curated by Yes Health’s team of dietitians, nutritionists, fitness experts and psychologists. Members also can leverage Yes Health’s proprietary machine-vision technology where they take pictures of their meals to get AI-assisted guidance on how to make them healthier.

The medical costs for obesity are estimated to be as high as $210 billion annually, including nearly $62 billion in Medicare and Medicaid spending alone. For employers, studies have suggested that overweight employees create approximately $73 billion in medical costs a year and generate much higher rates of medical and worker’s compensation claims than healthier employees.

Companies can select Yes Health from a curated collection of partners as part of the Virgin Pulse partner ecosystem, which helps employers close gaps in care across more than 20 health and wellbeing categories while addressing the most common and costly health concerns. All partner solutions are seamlessly integrated and accessible through Virgin Pulse’s Homebase for Health platform, optimizing program utilization and the user experience.

“This book holds references to my health journey,” said McCrary. “I offer my readers not only a holistic approach to healing and health but an opportunity to grow their faith with the Lord along the way.”

COLUMBUS, Miss. (PRWEB)
October 17, 2022

With over 20 years of combined work experience in fitness training, law enforcement, and the U.S military, author Kevin McCrary is ready to motivate his readers to learn about their health biblically in his new book, “Kingdom Fitness.”

After leaving the military, McCrary became frustrated with mainstream fitness and the lack of improvement in his physical health. Following prayers and the hope of resolution, McCrary claimed that the Lord revealed to him the correlation between faith and health and how both sides need nurturing.

“Health is a hot topic,” said McCrary. “People are always searching for the healthiest lifestyle. I became lost in the mainstream perspective of health, but after the guidance from the Lord, I began to see health within a Christ-like perception.”

McCrary aims to challenge readers’ minds with a kingdom perspective on health that will motivate and educate them on what the Bible teaches concerning health and fitness. He hopes they’ll not only gain physical strength, but spiritual as well.

“This book holds references to my health journey,” said McCrary. “I offer my readers not only a holistic approach to healing and health but an opportunity to grow their faith with the Lord along the way.”

Deb Belfatto, founder of Let’s Talk: Women’s Health & Wellness

“Through my years of leadership at Komen North Jersey, my platform was based on a personal belief that every woman is deserving, entitled, and worthy of the highest standards of healthcare” – Deb Belfatto

NEWARK, N.J. (PRWEB)
October 14, 2022

Deb Belfatto, Founder of the Susan G. Komen North Jersey Affiliate, community activist, two-time cancer survivor, and a trailblazer for women’s causes has launched Let’s Talk: Women’s Health & Wellness, a one-day event to support women’s health awareness. The event will be hosted at NJPAC in Newark, NJ on October 15th, 2022. This unique experience will bring women of all ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities together to learn, celebrate, and share their health journeys.

Although there has been tremendous progress since 1988 when Deb was first diagnosed with breast cancer, there is still more work to be done. Deb leads a healthy life surrounded by blessings including her supportive family, friends, doctors, and access to resources. Despite the vast knowledge she gained from her diagnosis experience and her own commitment to healthy living, she was shell-shocked when, during the height of the pandemic in 2021, she was diagnosed with cancer for a second time.

Deb’s personal motto is that it’s not enough to simply count your blessings, it’s all about sharing them. It is with this in mind that she’s spearheading the Let’s Talk: Women’s Health & Wellness Event and gathering leading experts in their field to share how women can care for their own breasts, brain, body, and mind—no matter their age, background, ethnicity or how they identify. “Through my years of leadership at Komen North Jersey, my platform was based on a personal belief that every woman is deserving, entitled, and worthy of the highest standards of healthcare”, says Deb Belfatto.

Let’s Talk: Women’s Health & Wellness Event will educate and remove stigmas about women’s health and wellness. The event will include panel discussions that include nuanced conversations about women’s health, and focus on the following eight pillars of wellness: physical, nutritional, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, financial, and environmental. There will be expert speakers such as Psychiatry Specialist Marra G. Ackerman, MD, Chief, Section Breast Surgery at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, Michele Blackwood, MD, FACS and Body Positive SuperModel, Emme®- plus a whole lot of girl power! The full list of expert speakers is available to view at https://letstalkwellwomen.org/experts/. Guests will leave with new ideas and takeaways, as well as a swag bag of health-inspired goodies.

Everyone in the community is invited to attend this all-day gathering. To purchase tickets, visit LetsTalkWellWomen.org/Tickets/. Guests are also welcome to support another woman in her journey by donating a ticket. This donation can be made in honor or in memory of someone special. Sponsors include Minette’s Angels, Pfizer, RWJBarnabas Health, William E. Simon Foundation, Leslie and Eileen Quick, Nanar and Tony Yoseloff, Atlantic Health System Cancer Care, The MCJ Amelior Foundation, Women in Business on behalf of Valley Bank, Deb and Joe Belfatto, East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery, Julie and Eric Epstein, Kelson Group, Neiman Marcus, New Jersey Imaging Network, Prudential Financial, Rutgers University–Newark, RWJ University Hospital Somerset, Women@SQ on behalf of Simon Quick Advisors. Let’s Talk: Women’s Health & Wellness is produced by Gail P. Stone Events, Inc.

More About Let’s Talk: Women’s Health & Wellness Event:

Let’s Talk: Women’s Health & Wellness Event is an all-day gathering created by Deb Belfatto, a two-time cancer survivor. The event is for women of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicities to learn, celebrate and share about women’s health journeys. The event will take place on October 15 at NJPAC. Leading experts in the field will gather to share with women how to care for their breasts, brain, body, and mind…with or without a breast cancer diagnosis.

The world’smost advanced massage roller, the Serenity Roller by Dr. Massage Roller

This fitness roller has been painstakingly designed to offer athletes, desk workers, or anyone who experiences muscle pain, the relief and benefits of massage.

RALEIGH, N.C. (PRWEB)
October 07, 2022

Today, the Serenity Roller by Dr. Massage Roller launched for direct to consumer purchase. The auto-roller, invented by an US Air Force Veteran/Division One Football player, is the first to offer self-rolling, auto-shiatsu massage. The ergonomic roller also includes heat and vibration to create an all-in-one at-home massage solution to help with muscle warm-up, recovery, and relaxation. The Serenity Roller is now available on Amazon and at drmassageroller.com on sale for $249.99 .

Serenity is designed to ease sore, tender and aching muscles and joints, to accelerate muscle recovery, to provide relaxation and self-myofascial release. The roller is jam-packed with features that Founder and CEO Dishawn Harvey realized he and his teammates and colleagues needed in his time with the US Air Force and as a Division One Football Player for East Carolina University.

“During my time in active duty with the Air Force, my eyes were opened to the physical complications experienced by people in the field and post-deployment. As a walk-on wide receiver for East Carolina University Football I became further aware of the ongoing pain and injuries experienced by myself and my teammates,” Harvey said. “Meanwhile, I was studying Mechanical and Industrial Design Technology and knew there had to be a better way to receive muscle recovery and care at home. From there, I began to design my dream foam roller. I’m excited to introduce Serenity to the market.”

The Serenity Roller by Dr. Massage Roller stands apart from other foam rollers thanks to three main offerings, which can be used individually or in tandem:

Auto-Rolling: Serenity incorporates shiatsu massage automatically, which works tension and spasms out of muscles, relaxing the body and increasing blood flow. Conventional massage rollers force people to engage their muscles when using a roller. This prevents full relaxation and reduces the impact of using a roller. Serenity features 48 massage roller balls for deep tissue massage on your neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, waist, quads, hamstrings and calves. When the auto-massage function is engaged, users can fully relax while it works out muscle knots. Serenity is unique in offering this feature.

Vibration: Vibration technology has become popular, thanks to its effectiveness in reducing soreness, increasing flexibility, and improving strength. Serenity has a powerful vibration motor with three frequencies of vibration. It uses quiet glide technology and a 24V brushless high-torque motor so that the working dB is just 35dB to 55dB.

Heat Therapy: Heat therapy has long been used by fitness professionals for warm-ups, pre-workouts, and post workouts to increase athleticism and catapult performance and recovery. The heat therapy function is provided by unidirectional carbon heating to ease muscle tension, ease stress, and promote blood circulation.

Serenity is fully hands-free and is portable, including a wall power adapter and a car charger, for self-massage in the home, office, car, or while traveling. It includes replaceable 6600 milliamp-hours (mAh) super rechargeable 3.7V batteries that will allow for 2 hours of continuous 3 function use or 4 hours single function use on a single charge.

“This fitness roller has been painstakingly designed to offer athletes, desk workers, or anyone who experiences muscle pain, the relief and benefits of massage,” said Harvey. “I can’t wait for people to experience Serenity.”

The Serenity Roller by Dr. Massage Roller is now available on Amazon and at drmassageroller.com. Media interested in interviewing Dishawn Harvey, reviewing a product, or learning more should contact PR Agent Borjana Slipicevic at borjana@properpropaganda.net.

Van Leeuwen Introduces Nostalgic Ice Cream Exclusively at Sprouts

BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PRWEB)
October 03, 2022

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, the nationally adored brand known for making decadent and delicious dairy and vegan ice cream with high-quality, simple ingredients, is reviving nostalgia once again in the ice cream category by reintroducing familiar flavors consumers grew up with to Sprouts stores nationwide this October. The exclusive launch includes a new pint flavor, Vegan Banana Bread Pudding, this week followed by two new specialty nostalgia ice cream bar flavors Black & White Layer Cake, and Strawberry Shortcake later this month.

Van Leeuwen’s exclusive new flavors are permanently rolling into 390 Sprouts locations. The new pint is available in 23 states today and will be followed by the ice cream bars later this month. This is the brand’s first exclusive collaboration with Sprouts and its first exclusive launch to feature nostalgic ice cream bars.

“Sprouts has been an amazing partner to Van Leeuwen the past few years, so we couldn’t be more excited to be launching a new pint flavor and two new ice cream bars exclusively in Sprouts stores,” said Ben Van Leeuwen, Co-Founder and CEO of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream. “Sprouts has always been known as the grocery chain that carries brands that truly care about the ingredients it’s sharing with customers, so we feel exceptionally honored that Sprouts has given us the opportunity to launch new products exclusively in its stores.”

“Knowing how much ice cream lovers crave a bit of childhood nostalgia, we thought this partnership with Sprouts would be the perfect opportunity to innovate two ice cream bars that so many people loved growing up. While the bars might look familiar, they were created in typical Van Leeuwen fashion, by featuring our signature premium quality single-fold vanilla and sustainably sourced cocoa. We also wanted to put a unique twist on another nostalgic treat, Banana Bread Pudding, but create this as a vegan flavor. We love providing top-quality ice cream for all, so we are thrilled to be offering vegans another delicious flavor to add to their freezers,” said Van Leeuwen.

Van Leeuwen is bringing back nostalgia with a decadent twist on classics you love with an exclusive pint available this week and two ice cream bars later this month:

• 
  Vegan Banana Bread Pudding (with Fudge Swirls) Pint: With the vegan banana ice cream, fudge swirls, and brown sugar bread bites, you’d think your momma broke into your house in the middle of the night and baked you your favorite dessert.
• Black & White Layer Cake Nostalgia Bar: If this doesn’t remind you of your childhood, nothing will. And if you’re a child, you just hit the jackpot. Chocolate ice cream wrapped in vanilla ice cream dunked in chocolate cookies.
• Strawberry Shortcake Nostalgia Bar: From ice cream trucks to elementary cafeterias, this bar was everywhere when you were growing up. Strawberry ice cream wrapped in vanilla ice cream dunked in strawberry cookies. Ahh, youth.

Van Leeuwen’s newly launched pint is available now for $6.99 with a four-count pack of the nostalgia bars following later this month available for $7.99.
