Bentley with a patient

He’s been extremely popular with our patients. In fact, in the past year we’ve had 3 patients adopt Australian Labradoodles as a result of meeting Bentley

LONGMONT, Colo. (PRWEB)
June 24, 2020

After a hiatus due to COVID-19, Longmont Dental Loft’s therapy dog will be returning to the office effective June 29th, 2020. Bentley is an Australian Labradoodle with the title of Chief Calming Pawfficer. As the Chief Calming Pawfficer, Bentley interacts with patients that enjoy being around dogs. He typically sits on patients laps and is a comforting presence that makes patients feel at ease.

“Since we’ve been back from the COVID-19 closure, patients have asked us on a daily basis when Bentley is coming back,” said Adrienne Hedrick, Longmont Dental Loft Dentist, and owner. “He’s been extremely popular with our patients. In fact, in the past year we’ve had 3 patients adopt Australian Labradoodles as a result of meeting Bentley.”

During the past few months Bentley has been staying at home. He has had a lot of fun and has kept entertained by taking walks and playing with the vacuum cleaner. However, he misses seeing patients and is ready to go back to the office.

There will be several precautionary measures in place when Bentley is at the office. First, he will be in the office area away from patients unless a patient requests to see him. Second, before a patient encounters him, they will need to make sure they wash their hands. And Bentley won’t be at the office every day. If a patient wants to make sure he is available, Longmont Dental Loft is asking patients to request a visit with him in advance.

“As consumers become more informed about what goes into their daily supplements, they’re searching for products that are natural, sustainable and non-GMO,” said Michael Baumann, global strategic marketing manager, DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences

WILMINGTON, Del. (PRWEB)
June 24, 2020

Among consumers, the Non-GMO Project Verified seal is the most trusted non-GMO label, providing assurance that the product has completed a rigorous, unbiased evaluation for compliance with the Non-GMO Project Standard. Drug and dietary supplement manufacturers can now turn to DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences to bring that seal to their end-use soft capsule products.

After scrupulous testing of raw material sourcing and manufacturing, SeaGel® CAP101 and SeaGel® CAP203 non-animal soft capsule technologies achieved Non-GMO Project Verified certification, reinforcing DuPont’s commitment to providing safe, sustainable ingredients that meet industry demand.

SeaGel® offers a plant-based alternative to traditional soft capsules. While soft capsules are one of the most common delivery formats for active ingredients, they are traditionally made with gelatin. Naturally derived from seaweed, SeaGel® is animal-free, making it inclusive to vegan, vegetarian, Halal and Kosher diets. Its recent non-GMO designation allows manufacturers incorporating SeaGel® into their formulation to appeal to a wider range of consumers.

“As consumers become more informed about what goes into their daily supplements, they’re searching for products that are natural, sustainable and non-GMO,” said Michael Baumann, global strategic marketing manager, DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences. “Adding the iconic non-GMO butterfly to their end products helps manufacturers and brand owners provide customers with immediate assurance that a product aligns with their lifestyle needs.”

SeaGel® offers manufacturers solutions to a wide range of formulation challenges, and when compared to alternative vegetarian soft capsule technology, it provides superior sealing performance and reduced leakage. Since seaweed has a higher melting point than gelatin, SeaGel® soft capsules are more heat stable, ensuring they will not become sticky or melt together inside capsule bottles. Its adaptability to shape, color and coating—plus easy incorporation into existing gelatin manufacturing operations—allows for a wide range of brand strategies with minimum capital investment.

“The dietary supplement market is growing rapidly, with 4,000 new products introduced each year in the U.S. alone,” said Benjamin Roscoe, application development & innovation manager, DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences. “By consistently evolving alongside our customers, we’re empowering them to differentiate from competitors and meet consumer demand with safe, natural and sustainably sourced ingredients.”

As North America’s only third-party non-GMO verification program, the Non-GMO Project’s verification continues to set the industry standard for non-GMO food, drug and beauty products. To achieve qualification, suppliers must first pass a rigorous product evaluation which includes a review of raw material sources, manufacturing practices and finished products to prevent contamination by genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

In achieving the recent certification, DuPont confirms its commitment to thorough and precise specifications, quality ingredients and sustainable practices, enabling manufacturers and brand owners to be transparent about ingredient sourcing and manufacturing processes. Ultimately this leads to increased consumer satisfaction and trust.

Choose to boat sober this Fourth of July.

“Operating a boat – or even being a passenger – is incredibly risky while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.” – Peg Phillips, Executive Director, National Safe Boating Council

MANASSAS, Va. (PRWEB)
June 24, 2020

The Safe Boating Campaign, a worldwide effort focused on responsible boating, reminds boaters to boat sober this Fourth of July. Boating under the influence, or BUI, is the leading contributing factor in recreational boater deaths, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

“The July 4 holiday is around the corner, and unfortunately has become known for drinking and boating, and deadly accidents,” said Peg Phillips, executive director of the National Safe Boating Council, and lead organization for the Safe Boating Campaign.

“Operating a boat – or even being a passenger – is incredibly risky while under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” continued Phillips. “Drunken passengers can easily fall overboard, swim near the propeller, lean over the side, or stand up in small boats causing the boat to capsize.”

The side effects of alcohol or drug use, such as impaired judgment, reduced balance and poor coordination, are magnified while boating, due to environmental conditions from the sun, wind and boat motion.

“Impairment can be even more dangerous for boaters, since most have less experience and confidence operating a boat than they do driving a car,” said Yvonne Pentz, communications director of the National Safe Boating Council. “Boaters should also always wear a life jacket, similar to wearing a seat belt when you’re in a vehicle.”

The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, a partner of the Safe Boating Campaign, in collaboration with the U.S. Coast Guard and law enforcement agencies nationwide, is coordinating the annual Operation Dry Water three-day weekend. This heightened BUI awareness and enforcement effort will be held from July 3 to July 5 in every U.S. state and territory.

Since the inception of the Operation Dry Water Campaign in 2009, law enforcement officers have removed 4,095 BUI operators from the nation’s waterways and made contact with over 1.5 million boaters during the annual three-day weekend.

The Safe Boating Campaign is produced under a grant from the Sports Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund and administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. For more information and to follow the campaign on social media, please visit https://safeboatingcampaign.com/.

“Our content will explore how Lifestyle Medicine plays a critical role in strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerabilities.”

ST. LOUIS (PRWEB)
June 24, 2020

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine today announced that its 2020 Lifestyle Medicine Annual Conference, originally scheduled for Nov. 1-4 in Carlsbad, CA, will now be held as a live, virtual event, Thursday through Sunday, October 22-25, 2020.

Conference registration includes 20 hours of both live and recorded Lifestyle Medicine-related presentations, with an option to participate in an additional eight hours of interactive pre- and post-conference workshops. The conference has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.

Registration for the new virtual event, with the theme “Lifestyle Medicine: Health Restored,” is now open. A full agenda and additional details can be found at https://lifestylemedicineconference.org/

“After thoughtful deliberation, and with the utmost concern for the health and safety of all our constituents, our Board unanimously voted for this change,” said ACLM President Dexter Shurney, MD, MBA, MPH, FACLM, dipABLM. “We are excited that, with this change, even more medical professionals and trainees will have the opportunity to be part of this online medical education experience, showcasing the foremost experts in our field, with evidence-based presentations on food and exercise as medicine, to sleep, social connection, and the other pillars of Lifestyle Medicine.”

LM2020 will open with Legends of Lifestyle Medicine and Their Prescription to the World’s Most Pressing Health Crises, featuring Drs. Dean Ornish, Caldwell Esselstyn, T. Colin Campbell and John McDougall, all of whom are previous recipients of ACLM’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Other notable sessions include Dr. Roy Taylor’s presentation, Averting the Looming Global Pandemic of Type 2 Diabetes: Understanding T2D from the DiRECT, Counterpoint and Counterbalance Research Studies, and ACLM President Dexter Shurney leading an expert panel focused on Lifestyle Medicine: A Health Disparities Solution.

“The new dates in October will offer live sessions with the same scientific rigor and educational experience our annual conference attendees have come to expect,” said 2020 Conference Planning Committee Chair Sami Beg, MD, MPA, MPH, FACLM. “The focus of our content will explore how Lifestyle Medicine plays a critical role in strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerabilities. By treating the root cause of chronic disease, we set a solid foundation for restoring health throughout the nation and around the world.”

Conference registration is set at $599 for ACLM Members, $749 for Non-Members. Student registration is $49 for Members and $99 for Non-Members, with an abundance of student and trainee scholarship opportunities.

The American Board of Lifestyle Medicine (ABLM) certification exam, traditionally hosted immediately following the annual conference, will be offered in 2020 as a “take-from-home” exam November 7-8. Attendance at the virtual conference will fulfill the “live” CME prerequisite for the 2020 ABLM exam. The deadline to register on the ABLM website is September 30, 2020.

“This is an unprecedented time, but out of crisis comes opportunity,” Shurney said. “The events of this year have made the field ACLM represents all the more relevant, with the nation and world awakening to the urgent need for Lifestyle Medicine to become the foundation of health care. Health restoration is what our world needs and what Lifestyle Medicine delivers.”

The 2020 conference is presented by The Prospect Fund, a socially responsible investment fund which offers its resources to advance important causes globally.

ABOUT THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF LIFESTYLE MEDICINE: ACLM is the medical professional society for those dedicated to the advancement and clinical practice of Lifestyle Medicine as the foundation of a transformed and sustainable health care system. Lifestyle Medicine is the use of a whole food, plant-predominant dietary lifestyle, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connection as a primary therapeutic modality for treatment and reversal of chronic disease.

More than a professional association, ACLM is a galvanized force for change. ACLM addresses the need for quality education and certification, supporting its members in their individual practices and in their collective mission to domestically and globally promote Lifestyle Medicine as the first treatment option, as opposed to a first option of treating symptoms and consequences with expensive, ever increasing quantities of pills and procedures. ACLM members are united in their desire to identify and eradicate the root cause of disease. Learn more at http://www.LifestyleMedicine.org.

“We offered our wellness community a substantial discount with the promise that their purchases would support the great work being done locally by Feeding San Diego, and we are proud that we have hit this first milestone of $10,000.” Jim Rex, President of The GHT Companies

VISTA, Calif. (PRWEB)
June 24, 2020

The GHT Companies, a leading developer and distributor of nutraceutical products based in San Diego County, announced today that it had hit its first fundraising benchmark of $10,000 in its pledge of raising a minimum of $25,000 for Feeding San Diego, a charity whose mission is to connect every person facing hunger with nutritious meals by maximizing food rescue.

“The health-conscious communities of The GHT Companies, and its Vegan Life Nutrition and Vibrant Nutraceuticals product lines not only care about health but also humanity,” said Jim Rex, President of The GHT Companies. “We offered our wellness community a substantial discount with the promise that their purchases would support the great work being done locally by Feeding San Diego, and we are proud that we have hit this first milestone of $10,000.”

In May, The GHT Companies announced special 25% off pricing on 13 vitamin and nutraceutical products popular with health-minded shoppers and 12 of them focused on supporting the immune system. The products included plant-based D3 vitamins in a variety of formats, the UMAC Marine Phytoplankton product line, the specially-formulated Power HI (H = healthy and I = immune), and the new-to-market Pure Vitamin C. All of the above products are found in two of The GHT Companies’ Branded Product Lines: Vegan Life Nutrition and Vibrant Nutraceuticals.

Each sale from the 13 products results in a one-dollar donation, and larger donations are in place per kilogram for raw ingredients used in the manufacturing of nutraceutical products. They include the well-known Vitashine Vegan Vitamin D3 Oil and Vegan Vitamin D3 Powder.

“Feeding San Diego is inspired to see our community giving back and shopping locally to support companies who are actively raising funds for our cause,” said Gavon Morris, Chief Development and Marketing Officer of Feeding San Diego. “The $10,000 raised thus far directly supports children, families, and seniors facing hunger during COVID-19 throughout San Diego County.”

The work isn’t done yet. The GHT Companies fundraising goal was to hit a minimum of $25,000 at the end of the program.

“We believe our community will come through for this great cause, and we will be excited to provide additional funds to Feeding San Diego,” Rex said.
