Canada IsaBody Challenge Grand Prize Winner Dave te Sligte

I am just overwhelmed by everything that Isagenix has done for my life. The physical change has been massive, but what this health and wellness journey has done for my family and my kids is just amazing. – Dave te Sligte, Canada IsaBody Challenge Grand Prize Winner


GILBERT, Ariz. (PRWEB)

Isagenix International, a global health and wellness company providing nutrition and lifestyle solutions, recently announced the grand prize winner for its annual total-body transformation program. The winner of the IsaBody Challenge® was honored at the company’s Canada Celebration 2020 event in Montreal, Quebec, on Saturday. The IsaBody Challenge and Canada Celebration are both hosted by Isagenix.

Canada IsaBody® Grand Prize Winner Dave te Sligte was honored onstage in front of thousands of Isagenix independent distributors and presented with a check for CA$10,000.

Te Sligte was one of 12 IsaBody Finalists chosen from thousands of Canada-based participants during the 2020 Challenge. A panel of judges selected his inspirational weight loss transformation story as its top choice. Te Sligte lost 168 pounds during the eight Challenges he completed.*

“I am just overwhelmed by everything that Isagenix has done for my life,” said an emotional te Sligte onstage after he was announced as the winner. “The physical change has been massive, but what this health and wellness journey has done for my family and my kids is just amazing. I am faster and stronger and have more energy than I ever imagined. I can’t thank Isagenix enough.”

To make the IsaBody Challenge an even more robust experience, Isagenix recently announced several enhancements, including a new IsaBody Fitness program that consists of four workouts each week. Challenge participants can access the free program via the IsaLife™ mobile app, where a new set of workouts with instructional videos is uploaded monthly. There is a different theme each month, with March’s workouts focusing on “the new you” through weight loss and lean muscle gain — and the health benefits of both.

“Isagenix is proud to provide high-quality nutrition, tools, and resources that set our IsaBody participants up for success in their health and wellness journeys,” said Travis Ogden, the company’s chief executive officer. “Dave is the latest example of the impressive results our customers can achieve through the Challenge. We congratulate him and thank him for setting a terrific example for others to follow.”

*Weight loss, muscle gain, lifestyle, and other results depicted here reflect exceptional individual experiences of Isagenix customers and should not be construed as typical or average. Results vary with individual effort, body composition, eating patterns, time, exercise, and other factors, such as genetic and physiological makeup. A two-phase 2016 study published by researchers at Skidmore College showed an average weight loss of 24 pounds after 12 weeks. The study evaluated the use of Isagenix products in men and women for weight loss followed by weight maintenance. During the weight maintenance phase, the subjects who continued the calorie-controlled program using Isagenix products better maintained their weight loss in comparison to those who transitioned to a traditional diet after 52 weeks.

Participants are judged on their before and progress photos as well as their personal essays describing their journeys.

The Global Recovery Initiatives Foundation (GRI) announced today the addition of four new members to its board of directors: international rock icon Nikki Sixx; entertainment industry legend Allen Kovac; Fors Marsh Group’s (FMG) Director of Special Initiatives Matt Escoubas, and iHeartMedia Vice President Alexandra Cameron.

Pam Cytron, CEO of Pando Systems and board chairman of the GRI said, “We are thrilled to add these new board members who will bring their wisdom, expertise, and networks to expand philanthropy for people in early recovery from substance use disorder (SUD)—a nationwide problem that affects every sector of American life—from individuals and their families to the country’s employers and communities.”

About the New Board Members:

Nikki Sixx is a founding member and the bassist of the band Mötley Crüe (over 100 million albums sold worldwide) as well as the author of three New York Times bestselling books, including his memoir The Heroin Diaries, which will debut as a musical in 2020. He is 18 years sober and has been a dedicated recovery advocate, philanthropist, and public speaker. He is a frequent media contributor to CNN, Fast Company, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The Guardian, and Rolling Stone.

In 2019, Allen was honored by Sir Richard Branson with the Innovator Award at the Association of Independent Music (AIM) Awards.

Allen has produced a number of programs that focus on SUD. He co-produced the highly successful Netflix biopic, The Dirt, based on the best-selling autobiography of the band Mötley Crüe. He also produced Sno Babies, a gripping story about a 16-year-old heroin-addicted honor student that shows how one can begin recovery; the movie is scheduled for release in 2020. In addition, he is the producer of The Heroin Diaries, a theater show based on the bestselling memoir of the same name by Nikki Sixx, which will run in 20 cities across the United States beginning in fall 2020.

Matt Escoubas is Director of Special Initiatives at Fors Marsh Group (FMG) where he oversees the company’s social purpose division tasked with addressing social challenges through in-kind, employee-led project teams. Throughout Matt’s career he has championed causes that strive to improve lives through evidence-based research. He brings more than 25 years of experience to his current role having led a wide array of public health and social change campaigns on behalf of federal and private sector clients. His work spans a range of topics, including opioid use disorder, addiction recovery, heart disease and stroke prevention, tobacco prevention, and pediatric palliative care. His efforts have received multiple industry awards, including a PR News Platinum Award, Bronze Anvil Award, two National Health Information Awards, and three Thoth Awards.

Alexandra Cameron is the Vice President of Strategic Partnerships & Government Initiatives for iHeart Media. She is also a co-founder of the National Opioid Action Coalition (NOAC), which has produced two events and multiple radio campaigns to break the stigma around SUD and has adopted GRI as its charity partner for SUD issues.

Supreme Court Hears Arguments In Case That Could Reverse Progress Made On Women’s Reproductive Well-Being

Leave a comment


“The limitations to access to abortion set forth in June Medical Services v. Russo wrest women’s ability to drive their own health care decisions and instead, hands these decisions to lawmakers, hospital administrators and governors,” said Ginny Ehrlich, CEO, Power to Decide.


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

Today, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on June Medical Services v. Russo, and Power to Decide, along with partner organizations, is participating in a rally at the Supreme Court. The rally will raise critical awareness on the impact that the Louisiana law, if upheld, will have on women’s reproductive well-being.

The law being challenged before the Court today would require those who provide abortion care to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles where they provide abortion services. Should the Court uphold the Louisiana law, it would result in the nearly 1 million women of childbearing age in Louisiana having access to only a single abortion clinic in the state.

“The limitations to access to abortion set forth in June Medical Services v. Russo wrest women’s ability to drive their own health care decisions and instead, hands these decisions to lawmakers, hospital administrators and governors,” said Ginny Ehrlich, CEO, Power to Decide. “Doing so would have a chilling effect on the advancements made possible for women since abortion became legal nationwide in 1973,”

There is no medical reason for requiring admitting privileges for those who provide abortion care. Complications from abortion procedures are rare. The Louisiana law is intended to limit access to abortion. Should the Court uphold June Medical Services v. Russo, other states would surely limit access in the same manner.

“The case before the Court today is so important because it will either set a precedent in support of or against access to abortion services,” said Ehrlich. “The result will have emanating effects within and beyond Louisiana.”

Power to Decide is a private, non-partisan, non-profit organization that works to ensure all people—no matter who they are, where they live or what their economic status might be—have the power to decide if, when and under what circumstances to get pregnant and have a child.
