Nunbelievable Launches New Chocolate Chip and Pecan Sandy Keto-Friendly Cookies


As a cookie company, we believe that we’re more than just a transactional relationship…We actually want to invest our time to loving and serving these people, and we’ve started to open our doors for our customers to join us.

Mission-driven food startup Nunbelievable has announced a new line of keto-friendly cookie varieties that are now available in Chocolate Chip and Pecan Sandy varieties. These cookies are available directly through Nunbelievable and will deepen the company’s growing menu of snacks alongside the four original varieties of artisanal cookies and four flavors of shortbread cookies.

According to Feeding America, 42 million people in the United States, including 13 million children, may experience food insecurity in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Nunbelievable is a mission-based startup inspired by the work of nuns, and pledges to provide one meal to a person struggling with hunger for every cookie purchased. With the goal of providing one million meals by the end of 2022, Nunbelievable partners with New York City Relief, North Texas Food Bank, the Joshua’s Heart Foundation, and other non-profit organizations to serve those in need.

Nunbelievable is continuing to work to make its cookies available to more people, and is proud to have new keto-friendly cookies in their growing cabinet of delicious snacks. They are now available in packs of three or six, and come in two distinct flavors: Chocolate Chip and Pecan Sandy.

While maintaining the company’s standards for cookies that are non-GMO and have no artificial flavors, these selections are also gluten free, low in carbs, and contain no added sugars for those wanting to broaden their snack horizons while keeping in line with a keto diet. Nunbelievable is also a participant of Feeding America’s 1 Billion Meal Challenge, meaning that all donations will be matched and provide twice the impact. For every $1 donated, Feeding America will help to secure and distribute at least 10 meals to people facing hunger, through the Feeding America network of food banks.

In addition, Nunbelievable works with World Vision to provide committed customers with volunteer opportunities to assist with local organizations such as food pantries and soup kitchens, and often participates themselves. “As a cookie company, we believe that we’re more than just a transactional relationship,” says Nunbelievable co-founder Kuda Biza. “We actually want to invest our time to loving and serving these people, and we’ve started to open our doors for our customers to join us.”

The company is committed to making its cookies available to more people and helping to feed those in need. To that end, new keto-friendly cookies are a wonderful snack for those who might struggle with low-carb dieting, and offer the same charitable guarantees as all of their existing products.

About Nunbelievable

Originally inspired by an order of nuns who commit their lives to feeding and comforting those in need, Nunbelievable is a mission-based company that offers premium, handcrafted baked goods, while providing a healthy dose of inspiration to end hunger and make a difference in the communities most in need. The company was founded in 2019 by Bryan Janeczko (CEO) and Kuda Biza (CMO). Janezcko is a successful health and wellness entrepreneur who pioneered the now $1 billion-plus meal-delivery services industry, while Biza is a proven social venture entrepreneur, passionate about fighting hunger. For every traditional cookie sold, Nunbelievable donates one meal to food pantries (for every keto friendly cookie it’s one per pouch), soup kitchens and other organizationson the front lines of the fight against hunger. The company is on track to meet a goal of providing 10 million meals within three years.

Yes Health Partners With Gympass To Bring Digital Health Prevention Platform to World’s Largest Corporate Fitness and Wellbeing Platform


Yes Health’s all-mobile platform blends technology with a team of coaches to help members with weight loss, diabetes prevention, or general well-being support.

By adding Yes Health to the Gympass network, members now have a single place on their mobile devices where they can go for quick, easy-to-use and personalized care plans that includes diabetes prevention, nutrition counseling, fitness coaching, sleep, wellbeing support and much more.

Yes Health, a leading digital health provider focused on weight loss, diabetes prevention and concierge health coaching, has today announced a partnership with Gympass, the world’s largest corporate fitness and well-being platform. The deal provides Gympass clients with a CDC-recognized, all-mobile platform that blends technology with a team of dedicated health coaches that helps members with weight loss, diabetes prevention or general well-being support.

Yes Health is a lifestyle and behavioral-change system that offers technology tools and personalized coaching in one mobile-based platform aimed at preventing chronic conditions and promoting overall healthy lifestyles through better nutrition, fitness and well-being support. Augmented AI enables the unique in-the-moment coaching engagement system. This means that a team of specialists delivers to the member the right digital therapy at the right time and the right place. Members want their feedback when they make decisions, not after the fact. With no appointments necessary members are able to access coach feedback and in-app resources at their fingertips delivering up to 12 times the learning moments compared to other phone- or video-based coaching programs.

“U.S. employers are facing unprecedented disruption with higher levels of employee stress, anxiety and other health concerns, causing the most innovative employers to recognize that their teams need access to sophisticated digital health tools that can help employees take control of their health,” said Alexander Petrov, founder and CEO of Yes Health. “By adding Yes Health to the Gympass network, members now have a single place on their mobile devices where they can go for quick, easy-to-use and personalized care plans that includes diabetes prevention, nutrition counseling, fitness coaching, sleep, wellbeing support and much more.”

Recent studies have shown that most U.S. employers are now willing to provide their workforce with digital health tools that can improve health, viewing them as a worthwhile investment. Those that do not are at risk of a less-productive workforce, higher rates of employee stress and more expensive insurance premiums. Reaching a remote workforce, and giving teams access to quick and effective lifestyle management tools, helps get the widest reach with the highest level of engagement. This has only become more relevant with the challenges employers have faced with COVID-19.

The CDC reports that chronic health conditions and unhealthy behaviors significantly reduce worker productivity. Five chronic diseases or risk factors—high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity—cost US employers $36.4 billion a year because of employees missing days of work. However, specific to diabetes, the inability to work because of diabetes-related disability cost $37.5 billion in 2017, with absenteeism accounting for $3.3 billion and employee productivity losses costing $27 billion.

“Our mission is to make wellbeing universal by providing a more engaging and accessible corporate wellbeing platform. With Yes Health’s amazing personalized care plans, we are one step closer to making that a reality for our clients and their employees,” said Rodrigo Silveira, SVP of New Ventures at Gympass.

Gympass chose to partner with Yes Health because its easy-to-use platform has been proven to drive high engagement and better health outcomes for users without requiring complex technology or expensive resources. Yes Health is also available to Spanish-speaking users and provides a full suite of tracking features to monitor user progress.

Yes Health has tens of thousands of active users nationwide and provides its platform to dozens of top enterprises, including large health insurers and employers.

About Yes Health

Yes Health is the first fully CDC-recognized, all-mobile solution that offers diabetes prevention, weight loss and concierge health coaching programs. All programs provide in-the-moment coaching designed to empower people everywhere to start living healthier, happier lives. Our team of physicians, health coaches, wellness experts and engineers have created an interactive, highly engaging lifestyle-change platform that’s low-cost and easy to follow with proven success in type 2 diabetes prevention, weight loss and healthy lifestyle improvement. Because of the ease-of-use, and asynchronous interaction with coaches, members have very high engagement and a 87% completion rate. The platform has outperformed the standards of care thresholds set forth by the CDC for over 3 years. Yes Health helps people take charge of their health — and have fun doing it — by developing healthy habits that last a lifetime. For more information, visit http://www.yeshealth.com.

StripperPoleReviews.com Connects Visitors With Quality Home Stripper Pole Choices at the Best Prices


Once You Discover, Decide And Dedicate Yourself To The Art Of Pole Dancing, Your Confidence, Fitness And Strength Will Soar!

For an exercise program to be effective, experts agree it needs to be something that they will find entertaining and stick with. One method that is growing in popularity, especially since the start of the pandemic, is pole dancing. Of course, this means there is a need to get a dance pole / stripper pole for home use.

The good news is buying one does not need to be complicated or a pain in any way. Answering the call for help is StripperPoleReviews.com. Answering a great need from interested stripper pole shoppers, StripperPoleReviews.com offer reviews and links to the best places to purchase premium-quality affordable dance poles online.

The website also provides online video classes so people can learn pole dancing from home in order to build muscle, become more confident in themselves and their bodies, without the pandemic getting in the way. The enthusiasm surrounding Stripper Pole Reviews is high and rising.

“We are passionate about pole dancing and how it is an amazing way to get fit and also to supercharge confidence,” commented Vanessa from the company. “One of the big challenges is that not all home dance poles are created equal. And buying a poor-quality stripper pole can be a huge disappointment, a waste of money, and also delay when a woman can start practicing. StripperPoleReviews.com is here to help people make a better-informed decision and start the process of getting into their best shape ever.”

Taking online pole dancing classes and then practicing at home can deliver a long list of benefits. Some of the highlights of these benefits includes building confidence through boosting endorphins; increased flexibility; building and toning the entire body; speeding up fat loss; enhancing pure strength while allowing the dancer to control her whole body; increase balance; and much, much more.

The quality of the stripper pole classes available at Stripper Pole Reviews, have been praised as being outstanding. They can be easily followed online and make learning to pole dance engaging and fun. Many even prefer learning at home over being in a class, even before the pandemic and taking live classes was not so risky or difficult.

A very enticing element of pole dance training at home is that installing a stripper pole at home is so easy nearly anyone can do it on their own or have a family member or friend install it in minutes without any issues or doing any damage to a home.

Installing nearly every stripper pole designed for home use just takes a few steps.

First, the package it arrives in is open and the parts are examined to make sure they were all sent. Next the sections of the pole are connected, which is usually three pieces. This is followed by attaching the top and bottom plates and making sure they are firmly locked, to keep things safe and free from unwanted surprises, while also making sure the top and bottom places are connected to the ceiling and floor in a solid way.

The pole itself is then connected, which can vary by brand and model, but in all cases needs to be screwed in and held firmly. Finally, the stripper pole is tested to make sure it is secure. Once this is confirmed it is time to start taking pole dance classes and reshaping bodies for the better.

Dance poles average between $130 all the way up to $500 or even more. StripperPoleReviews.com is the best resource available online that looks at the quality, the price and other factors surrounding different home dance poles, in an honest and transparent way.

Armed with this information it is much easier to consider what is available at what price, compare it to what a shopper has to spend, and then make a purchase of a dance pole they will enjoy well into the future.

New blog posts and reviews are added to StripperPoleReviews.com on a regular basis.

The website also continues to get nothing but positive feedback from visitors both for its well-thought-out reviews and top-quality pole dancing classes online.

Jen H., from New York, said in a five-star review, “I had wanted to learn to pole dance forever. Now, thanks to Stripper Pole Reviews I have been able to get an amazing pole for my bedroom and pick up the basics of pole dancing.

I absolutely love it. I think the only one who enjoys it more is my boyfriend. StripperPoleReviews.com gets my highest recommendations!”

Naturopathic Doctor Provides Comprehensive Roadmap to Cultivating a Happy, Healthy Lifestyle in Debut Book


News Image

There are some dark corridors in America’s medical industry that desperately need to be addressed so that we can go beyond just treating sickness to helping people live healthier, happier lives.

As the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the U.S. in early 2020, many people, especially those with underlying conditions, found themselves faced with a virus that had the potential to kill them. The foothold the virus took in daily life raised the nation’s level of consciousness about the state of the American healthcare system and humanity’s ultimate vulnerability to sickness. Spurred on by the desire to empower others to learn more about and advocate for their health, Naturopathic Doctor Abdel Jaleel Nuriddin published his comprehensive wellness resource, “Help Yourself to Ultimate Health: Know the Causes, Symptoms, and Solutions to Optimal Health”.

In “Help Yourself to Ultimate Health,” Nuriddin draws upon his faith as a Muslim and the lessons taught in the Holy Qur’an as well as his extensive experience in naturopathic medicine to teach readers the power of changing one’s thinking when it comes to health. Nuriddin’s book guides readers on their path to detoxing their bodies of harmful agents, replenishing lost or missing nutrients, and cultivating good habits like regular restful sleep, exercise, and meditation.

“The problems are just so huge today in terms of health and nutrition,” Nuriddin said. “Allopathic medicine falls short of where it needs to be in terms of helping people with their overall health. When it comes to pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures, we have a great allopathic system. But building better health is just not part of the regimen. There are some dark corridors in America’s medical industry that desperately need to be addressed so that we can go beyond just treating sickness to helping people live healthier, happier lives.”

“Help Yourself to Ultimate Health” also examines the ideas of healers such as Dr. Bernard Jensen, Victor E. Irons, Dr. Bill Horosh, and others who have promoted the use of herbs and enzymes to cleanse internal organs and bolster health. Ultimately, Nuriddin reminds readers that fighting disease is not the first call to action when managing health and that focusing on the important cornerstones of nutrition, fitness, and mindfulness can provide powerful outlets for healing.

Know the Causes, Symptoms, and Solutions to Optimal Health”

Despite the economic challenges of COVID-19, the franchise signed agreements to open an additional 65 units, including a 37-unit commitment to bring the brand to the southeast, one of the largest financial commitments in the history of the aquatics industry at $85M.

The brand has plans to sign commitments to total at least 150 locations by the end of 2021, with 131 already signed.

“We are excited to be in a strong position so early in the year, particularly after the tremendous growth we had amidst the difficulties many businesses endured in 2020,” said Big Blue CEO Scott Sanders. “We’ve had incredibly strong feedback from customers about how safe they feel at our stores and the joy of coming back to swim lessons.”

The Big Blue Swim School franchise utilizes an operational model that combines highly trained professional swim instructors, a proprietary technology system, LessonBuddy™, and a proprietary teaching curriculum within exceptional family-centric facilities. The result: the single most effective swim school experience available today.

“With additional COVID-19 vaccine progress, this year is bound to be filled with milestones for us. We believe there is enormous pent-up demand as more families plan their beach and lake vacations, prioritizing the importance of quality swim lessons,” said Sanders. “We also see considerable momentum in our franchise business and believe 2021 will be the strongest year in Big Blue’s history.”

According to Big Blue Swim School’s founder and president Chris DeJong, consumer demand for Big Blue remains high, making it a great time for franchise partners to invest in the growing brand.

“Despite the pandemic, we continue seeing tremendous demand from parents who want to enroll their kids in swim lessons,” said DeJong. “Regardless of what is going on in the global economy, parents know water safety is an essential life-skill that has to be prioritized.”

By measuring this year’s successes against last year’s, DeJong feels positive about continued growth. “Our recent 37-unit signing is indicative of the value franchise partners see in what we are building. Big Blue continues to sign new franchise partners because we’ve learned how to adjust while staying true to our mission,” said DeJong. “For franchise brands, it’s important to focus on what makes your brand unique to stand the test of time.”
