Luxury Wellness Clinic SHA Mexico Set To Open January 2024


The pioneering wellness brand to launch its first outpost on the Mexican Caribbean which will mark the start of their ambitious global expansion plans

MADRID, Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Pioneering wellness brand, SHA has announced the opening of their Mexico outpost in January 2024. This will be the first phase of its global expansion plans with a further opening set for the Emirates in 2025. Building on the success of its flagship clinic in Spain, the expansion has been developed to reflect the consumer demand to place health and well-being at the forefront of all areas of life – business and personal. SHA Mexico will be located in the state of Quintana Roo, in the eastern portion of the Yucatán Peninsula.

The Brand

This carefully planned expansion programme has been developed by the AB Living Group with the decision to move by an in-depth analysis of various locations, climate and surrounding environment, alongside connectivity and access to clinic resources. Through this new venture, SHA will continue to drive its award-winning concept forward, redefining integrated and transformative wellness across the globe. Alejandro Bataller, Vice President of AB Living, the operator and owner company of the SHA brand shares, “Our commitment has been the same since the beginning: to share our method. As we celebrate 15 years, it is a very exciting time for AB Living to bring SHA to the North American continent, making it possible for more people to benefit from a state of complete physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Between the relics of ancient wisdom and the advancements of modern medicine, Mexico is a natural paradise that is ideal for our offering. We look forward to January 2024 when we can finally welcome guests, helping them to achieve the best version of themselves.”

The Concept

Over the last fifteen years, SHA has transformed the lives of over 70,000 people around the world, including business leaders, heads of state, celebrities, professional athletes and beyond. The exclusive method, now more easily accessible to North Americans with the opening of SHA Mexico, is distinguished by the continuous innovation of SHA’s enviable expert team and their long-standing partnerships with universities and prestigious institutions in the field, which has awarded SHA Wellness Clinic over 100 of international awards and most recently the “World’s Best Wellness Clinic 2023”.

Guests will choose between four personalised health programmes (which will mimic that of those in SHA’s Spanish outpost and range from four to 21 days). Naturally, they will be led by renowned professionals and experts in four distinctive areas of health and well-being impact: Rebalance & Reenergize, Detox & Optimal Weight, Well-Ageing & Prevention and Leader’s Performance. Each programme will be curated to meet the guests’ needs and goals through nine key disciplines: healthy nutrition, preventive & well-ageing, holistic medicine, cognitive stimulation, advanced preventive diagnostics, well-being & inner balance, physical performance and healthy living academy which all come together to form what has become known as the SHA Method.

Unique to SHA Mexico, the wellness clinic is set off the coast of the largest coral reef in the Americas offering guests a unique location to immerse with nature, which has its own healing benefits, along with therapies inspired in the prehepatic cultures, such as Temazcal, aimed to heal the body and the mind.

Design + Activities

Situated in the Mexican Caribbean, SHA Mexico places Costa Mujeres on the international radar. It’s unique and exquisitely aesthetic architecture elegantly pays homage to the human genome majestically rising between the emerald green of the mangroves and the infinite shades of blue of the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea. Its striking ultra-modern design taps into the beautiful transformational journey offered to its guests at the land of the ancient Mayans.

Designed by renowned Mexican architectural firm, Sordo Madaleno and the prestigious interior designer, Alejandro Escudero, the building seamlessly blends the indoors with the outdoors with an organic, sustainable and contemporary feel. Thoughtfully selected natural materials such as Mexican ceramics, wicker, autochthonous textiles, and marble, in combination with the use of renewable energies, will minimise environmental impact. Lush tropical gardens have been curated by Maat Handasa, who designed the landscape to respect the local species. With its own stretch of white sand beach and a natural cenote, SHA Mexico sits across from the largest coral reef in the northern hemisphere, a marine ecosystem of protected species.

The complex itself will be made up of 35 residences and 100 ocean front rooms & suites, each with private balconies that feature panoramic vistas of the turquoise Caribbean Sea and luxurious bathrooms, all fitted with rain showers. The wellness clinic has been meticulously planned to create a comfortable and flawless journey for each guest – from the relaxing medical consultation rooms that all offer captivating ocean or mangrove vistas, to the mind & body rooms, fitness studio, yoga & meditation sanctuaries, spa, and a hydrotherapy circuit. The Athletics Club, looking out to the Caribbean horizon, will offer more robust fitness programmes guided by an expert team of professionals providing a personal approach to fitness and movement to impact energy levels, strength and longevity. The fitness facilities will offer outdoor and indoor training areas including four distinctive movement studios, high-tech fitness equipment with virtual reality jogging track, guided walking meditation routes and tennis & paddle courts, to name a few. Other amenities include a games room, movie theatre, art exhibitions, library, meeting rooms, and a chef’s studio that will play host to Healthy Living workshops. Guests will also have the option to travel privately to the property, by air or sea, offering a discreet heliport and dock that will deliver you direct to your ocean front room or suite. Finally, an infinity pool and a beach club will allow guests to enjoy the simple pleasures of Mexico in between consultations, treatments, and experiences.

The property will stay true to the brand’s principles of sustainability, employing natural construction materials and renewable energy sources to minimise environmental impact.

Culinary

The Culinary offering follows the SHA Nutrition, which is based on a healthy, energetic, mainly alkaline, and very balanced diet, inspired by ancient principles and adapted to modern life. With a practical and attractive approach, it places special emphasis on local, organic, and seasonal foods, respecting nature’s offerings at each time of the year and in each place. The property will open with a signature restaurant, SHAmadi, with menus curated to the needs of each individual guest and their programme goals. New in Mexico, there will also be a second dining option, Earthy, which will offer the SHA’ innovative live-fire cooking and sea to table concept to non-guests for the first time in the brand’s history, Earthy will open in March 2024

The starting stay at SHA Wellness Clinic Mexico is $5,770 USD, inclusive of the 4-day Recover and Energise programme, SHA Nutrition plan and in-room accommodations in an ocean front deluxe room.

The property will be accepting reservations from the 7th of November 2023.

BIVF Foundation Empowers Parenthood Aspirations with 2023 Family Building and Fertility Grants


Individuals and couples are encouraged to visit www.bivffoundation.org to learn more about the organization’s mission and the criteria for grant eligibility.

Applications for the initial round of grants are due by December 31, 2023

Driven by a highly qualified board of medical directors and fueled by generous contributions from individuals who share their vision, the BIVF Foundation has established three distinct grant programs to provide essential support to a wide spectrum of individuals and couples:

IVF Cycle Grants: These grants offer a lifeline to individuals without fertility insurance coverage, covering the entire cost of an IVF cycle at any SART-accredited center in MA, ME, NH, and RI.

Oncofertility Grants: Designed for individuals recently diagnosed with cancer, these grants cover the expenses related to an egg freezing cycle, enabling them to preserve their fertility before beginning cancer treatment.

Financial Assistance Grants: Providing cash support of up to $10,000, these grants can be used to cover out-of-pocket expenses associated with donor eggs or sperm, adoption, medications, and more, making family building more attainable for those in need.

David Stern, Chairman of the BIVF Foundation, stated, “For many individuals in New England, building a family through assisted reproductive technology, such as IVF, egg donation, and adoption, presents a significant financial challenge. The BIVF Foundation’s mission is to alleviate the financial burden associated with reproductive care for those who require it.”

Beyond its grants, the BIVF Foundation is unwavering in its commitment to fostering a compassionate community, supporting those facing challenges, and raising awareness about fertility issues. Rooted in New England, the BIVF Foundation is deeply dedicated to extending a helping hand to those confronting the emotional and financial obstacles of fertility treatment and family-building. It firmly believes that every individual and couple should have the opportunity to experience the joys of parenthood, irrespective of their financial circumstances.

The BIVF Foundation understands the myriad of situations in which individuals and couples may require assisted reproductive technology to fulfill their family-building dreams. Unfortunately, this crucial need often goes unmet due to insufficient insurance coverage, leaving families saddled with overwhelming financial burdens. The BIVF Foundation was established to bridge this gap, providing support to those traditionally excluded from family-building discussions due to a lack of insurance resources.

The foundation’s commitment is unwavering, recognizing the importance of assisting individuals and couples, including same-sex couples, single parents by choice, those diagnosed with infertility without fertility insurance benefits, and people with cancer who urgently need to preserve their future fertility.

In 2023 and beyond, the BIVF Foundation is poised to make an enduring impact on the lives of many, offering a message of hope and unity to those who have faced the heart-wrenching challenges of infertility. Through their Family Building Grants, they reaffirm the belief that parenthood is an achievable dream.

Screening, Research and Radon; 4 Ways You Can Help End Lung Cancer during Lung Cancer Awareness Month


On November 14, the Lung Association will release the sixth annual “State of Lung Cancer” report, which demonstrates how the toll of lung cancer varies by state and examines key indicators throughout the U.S. including new cases, survival, early diagnosis, surgical treatment, lack of treatment and screening rates.

The report will include new data on Radon in New Jersey. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths in the U.S. every year. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that rises through the soil and can enter your home through cracks in floors, walls, or foundations. Any type of home can have high indoor radon and high levels have been found in homes in every state. The American Lung Association has partnered with RAdata, a Protect Environmental company, to provide no-cost professional radon testing in the New Jersey region.

Protect Environmental is providing access to professional no-cost radon testing in the New Jersey and New York City region through its national partnership with the American Lung Association. Through this initiative, a qualified professional will conduct a radon test using a certified radon measurement device, providing a detailed report to the homeowner upon completion of the test at no cost. If elevated levels are identified, the problem can be fixed through the installation of a mitigation system.

“We discovered that my childhood home had high levels of radon when my father was diagnosed with lung cancer, even though he was a non-smoker,” said Kyle Hoylman, CEO of Protect Environmental. “Our team is doing its part to reduce exposure to radioactive, cancer-causing radon gas in the communities we serve, but more awareness and action is needed to prevent this deadly disease. That’s why we partnered with the American Lung Association to break down barriers and empower individuals to reduce their risk of radon exposure through no-cost professional radon testing.”

During Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the American Lung Association urges everyone to:

1.    Test Your Home for Radon: Every home should be tested for radon. Exposure to radon causes no immediate symptoms, but the long-term threat of lung cancer is important to everyone. People who have never smoked make up one out of seven radon-related lung cancer deaths each year. Learn more at Lung.org/radon and reserve your appointment for a professional radon test at no cost today.

2.    Take a quiz to see if you or a loved one are eligible for lung cancer screening: Lung cancer screening is key to early detection of the disease. A person is eligible for lung cancer screening if they are 50-80 years of age, have a 20 pack-year history (1 pack/day for 20 years, 2 packs/day for 10 years), and are a current smoker, or have quit within the last 15 years. Find out if you are eligible for lung cancer screening with this 2-minute quiz at SavedByTheScan.org.

3.    Support Research: Today, as a part of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the American Lung Association is announcing the first-ever Courtney Cox Cole Lung Cancer Research Award. The $1 million research endowment was funded through the dedicated efforts of the Cole family and friends to honor the life and legacy of the late Courtney Cox Cole, who fought valiantly against EGFR-mutant lung cancer while inspiring countless individuals and families impacted by this disease. In its inaugural year, the Courtney Cox Cole Lung Cancer Research Award was given to Wei Tao, PhD, from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston for his project called, “Inhalation delivery of mRNA via Targeted Nanoparticles for Lung Cancer Treatment.” Learn more about this research here and donate to support lifesaving lung cancer research at Lung.org/Donate.

4.    Join the Patient & Caregiver Network for Critical Lung Cancer Resources: The Lung Association’s Patient & Caregiver Network provides people living with lung cancer and lung disease and their caregivers with critical support, education, and access to emerging research like clinical trials. Learn more and sign up for the Patient & Caregiver Network at Lung.org/PCN.

The American Lung Association’s LUNG FORCE initiative unites those impacted by lung cancer and their caregivers across the country to stand together against lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., and about every two minutes, a person in the U.S. learns they have lung cancer. More must be done to raise awareness and the research funding needed to end lung cancer once and for all. Join the movement today at LUNGFORCE.org.

Catholics for Choice Applauds the Passage of Issue 1 in Ohio


“Catholics and the majority of people of faith support abortion access, no matter what the hierarchy spends or says. And Ohio’s Catholic bishops spent big, sinking well over $1.4 million into a losing campaign so desperate that it frequently resorted to lies, misinformation, and anti-trans demagoguery to try and scare voters away. Catholics in Ohio — especially the many who need abortion care — deserve so much better from their church.

“Catholics for Choice was proud to spend a small fraction of the money the bishops spent to combat disinformation and put 47 billboards up across the state to share the truth: Pro-choice Catholics are not alone. We participated in more than 20 in-person events in the weeks before the election, and we distributed thousands of pro-choice Catholic pledge cards in support of Issue 1. We are grateful to the pro-choice faithful who saw these signs and followed their consciences, all the way into the voting booth.

“Tonight’s victory demonstrates just how out of touch Ohio’s bishops are with the lives of those they are called to serve. Catholics who have abortions are participating richly in the life of the church — indeed 1 in 4 abortion patients is Catholic — so the hierarchy and their radical far-right allies must stop perpetuating stigma and shame. They would be wise to practice Pope Francis’s call to encounter, exorcise their own partisan extremism, and transform their hearts and minds by listening to those who have had abortions..

“Emboldened by the passage of Issue 1 in Ohio, Catholics for Choice will redouble our commitment to fully restoring the fundamental right to abortion access that was so cruelly stripped away through decades of political maneuvering and overreach by the Catholic hierarchy.”

###

Catholics for Choice shapes and advances sexual and reproductive ethics that are based on justice, reflect a commitment to a person’s well-being and respect, and affirm the capacity of all people to make moral decisions about their lives.
