“We dreamed up :rest as a protest to hustle culture. It’s a reminder to treat your evening ritual like an athlete warming up for a game…”

VENICE, Calif. (PRWEB)
April 01, 2022

MUDWTR’s latest product delivers a profound message: “permission to rest.” Research shows that how one rests, relax, and recover supports how one rises, create and performs the next day. The “snooze and lose” mantra touted by hustle culture has led us down a path of poor sleep, diminishing our well-being. With that in mind, Venice, CA-based MUDWTR created :rest, a caffeine-free evening blend to promote a state of calm. It’s formulated to give drinkers the type of sleep that makes them want to give their pillows a high-five the next day.

If MUDWTR were a band, :rise would be on the bass and :rest would be Norah Jones. The soothing blend is made with rooibos chai, chamomile, turmeric, cinnamon, and an all-star team of adaptogens and herbs (valerian root, passionflower, ashwagandha, and two incredible fungi: reishi and turkey tail). The taste is equivalent to curling up with a knitted afghan and reading the sixth Harry Potter book on a stormy Sunday evening. Chamomile and ashwagandha promote calm, while reishi and turkey tail support immunity. Meanwhile, turmeric and cinnamon work the antioxidant angle, and rooibos chai is helpful for digestion.

American adults have gone from sleeping an average of eight hours a night in the 1960s to just 6.2 hours a night today, according to MUDWTR’s sleep advisor, neuroscientist Dr. Jeffrey Durmer, MD, Ph.D. “This had a dramatic impact on the health and safety of Americans,” says Dr. Durmer. “As the population gets less and less healthy sleep, there has been a corresponding rise in obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic diseases, diabetes, mental health issues, and immune and oncologic diseases in the United States”

:rest was designed to help society deal with its lack of slumber. “Sleep is one of the most ignored biological needs in our society, and MUDWTR has tapped into that,” says Dr. Durmer. MUDWTR recommends pairing a cup of :rest with meditation, journaling, or watching the sunset. It is available for one-time purchases and 30-, 60- or 90-day subscriptions for $40-$100 at mudwtr.com.

“We dreamed up :rest as a protest to hustle culture. It’s a reminder to treat your evening ritual like an athlete warming up for a game. This time is sacred. It’s that sliver of existence when you can disconnect from the chaos, reset, and start breathing deeply again. Our society is terrified of the dark, but without the dark there is no light, and without rest, there is no rise.” —Shane Heath, CEO of MUDWTR

ABOUT MUDWTR:

MUDWTR is a ritual-building company on a mission to heal the mind through products, content, and experiences that evolve how we rise and rest. MUDWTR began by offering a new morning ritual to people who no longer wanted to be controlled by coffee. Its wildly successful original product, :rise, is a blend of masala chai, cacao, and adaptogenic mushrooms that has 1/7th the amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, providing focus and energy without the jitters, crash, and poor sleep. Today, in addition to complementing :rise with its evening counterpart, :rest, MUDWTR is a source of mindful films, journalism, and events, all aimed at helping humans feel present and grounded amidst the messiness of life.

CARLSBAD, Calif. (PRWEB)
April 01, 2022

Recognizing the shared alignments of the running community and the nation’s college students, the private, nonprofit National University is pleased to partner with the Carlsbad 5000, known as the “World’s Fastest 5K,” to recognize the hard work and dedication of students who are striving to achieve their academic and personal bests. Carlsbad 5000 Presented by National University will host its 36th edition on the weekend of May 21-22, 2022, marking a first-of-its-kind collaboration between the education and running communities.

“I’ve always thought that life, education, and running have a lot in common. In each, we set goals and work hard to achieve those goals. We truly could not be more grateful to partner with National University to promote health and wellness,” said Meb Keflezighi, co-owner of Carlsbad 5000 and the only athlete in history to win the New York Marathon, the Boston Marathon, and an Olympic Marathon Medal. “Whether it is your first 5K or you are pursuing a new personal best finish time, the Carlsbad 5000 is an event that is accessible and welcoming for everyone.”

Providing access to a quality degree is core to the mission of National University, and congruent with the adult learner population, aspiring to a college degree is a priority for the nation’s runners. Today’s core runners are highly educated with 79 percent having earned a college diploma, compared to 27 percent of the United States population (ACS, 2006-08), according to the National Runner Survey.

“We are so pleased to be partnering with Meb and the Carlsbad 5000 in support of this world-class event that brings together our local community and renowned runners from around the globe,” said Dr. Michael R. Cunningham, Chancellor of the private, nonprofit National University System, which includes National University, headquartered in San Diego, CA. “Meb is such an incredible role model for us all, and his message of perseverance despite all odds serves as an inspiration for our students, many who are adult learners or the first in their family to pursue a college degree. As in racing, we believe that all students should have access to opportunities that allow them to achieve their personal bests in life.”

Keflezighi and National University have joined forces over the years to celebrate the accomplishments of the nation’s adult and lifelong learners, with Meb as a featured guest speaker at two National University commencements and the recipient of an honorary doctorate. Born in Eritrea, Africa, Keflezighi and his family escaped famine, drought and a brutal war of liberation from Ethiopia, eventually making their way to San Diego. He won the 2014 Boston Marathon just two weeks before turning 39, becoming the oldest winner of one of the world’s premier distance events in more than 80 years. His story has served as inspiration for National University graduates and other adult learners nationwide who are often managing work, families and other responsibilities while pursuing dreams of furthering their education.

The running community and National University students are committed to long-term training and success. More than 60 percent of the University’s graduate students are female, with an average age of 36, and have stated a preference for running or related activities. The typical US female runner is 38.6 years old, and a degree holder.

Additionally, National University is awarding a $5,000 tuition scholarship at the Carlsbad 5000. All new students to National University who enroll in a bachelor or master program are eligible, as well as returning students if they are seeking a next level degree. One recipient will receive a check during the race day festivities, and another will be awarded following the race. The deadline to apply is May 31st.

Since the inaugural edition in 1986, the Carlsbad 5000 annually attracts amateur, competitive, and professional runners from around the world. Over its 36-year history, the Carlsbad 5000 has seen 16 World records and 8 U.S. records, as well as numerous national and age group marks that earned the moniker “World’s Fastest 5k.” Race weekend promises a fast oceanfront course, healthy competition, and an energetic atmosphere for participants of all ages and paces. The event features races by age group throughout the morning leading up to the legendary pro women and men’s races. The popular Junior Carlsbad features multiple races designed for children ages 12 and under. Kids’ distances range from one-mile to a half mile.

The post-race celebration gets started as soon as the first runners cross the finish line with participants 21 and older celebrating in the Pizza Port beer garden with two complimentary craft brews and runners of all ages rocking out to live music on the streets of Carlsbad Village.

In addition, donations from Carlsbad 5000 runners and its race organizers will benefit the Lucky Duck Foundation’s numerous homelessness programs, which include shelters, employment and job training opportunities, and more to benefit the homeless throughout San Diego County.

PHOENIX (PRWEB)
April 01, 2022

Sholom Gootzeit, a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine serving patients in the Greater Phoenix, Arizona, area, completed his new book “Extreme Wellness”: a gripping and potent work that shares far-flung and wide-ranging anecdotes, combined with the author’s extensive medical knowledge and years of firsthand experiences. This compelling work shows readers how to approach treating both the physical ailments that come from daily life as well as the value of finding their own paths and applying their own learning and experiences in creating a life imbued with extreme wellness.

Author Sholom Gootzeit attended the NY College of Osteopathic Medicine from 1988 to 1992. He did his internship and residency in Brooklyn from 1992 through 1996. In November of 2001, he attended his first regenerative medicine conference. His expanding interest and knowledge have enabled him to treat patients with recalcitrant pain syndromes with novel and exciting approaches. He has been practicing in Phoenix for the past twelve years.

Sholom Gootzeit writes, “As patients, the control of our health is always in our hands.

It is always decisions about what we eat, what we drink, our habits. Diets are an amorphous cacophony of competing claims. Things like smoking and alcohol we know are not good for us, but how to adjust these things? Medications are a billion-dollar industry. Which ones help? Which ones hurt? How do you find the right balance?”

He continues, “This book is an attempt to help you find your own path in answering these questions.”

Published by Page Publishing, Sholom Gootzeit’s engaging work explores the world of extreme wellness in a way that centers the goal of readers finding their own voices.

Readers who wish to experience this fascinating work can purchase “Extreme Wellness” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
