Isagenix Names $25,000 Grand Prize Winner of Its 2020 U.S. IsaBody Challenge

Leave a comment


Kim Nase received $25,000 for winning the Challenge.

Because of the IsaBody Challenge, who I was four years ago is not the same person I am today. I get to be the person I always dreamed of being. – Kim Nase, 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 of its 2020 U.S. IsaBody Challenge® at the company’s New Year Kick Off event in Phoenix, Arizona. Kim Nase of Lynnwood, Washington, was honored onstage in front of thousands of Isagenix independent distributors and presented with a check for $25,000.

Nase, 33, was one of 15 IsaBody® Finalists chosen from tens of thousands of U.S. participants during the 2020 Challenge. A panel of judges selected her inspirational weight loss transformation story as its top choice. Nase has dropped more than 80 pounds using Isagenix products — including 36 pounds lost during the six Challenges she completed — and now participates in Spartan races.

“Before discovering Isagenix, I knew that I wanted more for my life, but I didn’t know how to get it,” Nase said. “I am forever grateful to Isagenix, and the IsaBody Challenge, for giving me the tools I needed to make the changes in my life that I had been desiring. Because of the IsaBody Challenge, who I was four years ago is not the same person I am today. I get to be the person I always dreamed of being.”

The IsaBody Challenge included many other top contenders, including 2020 runner-up Tony Labriola, age 50, of Southbury, Connecticut.

“For the past seven years, Isagenix has been part of my daily routine,” Labriola said. “At 50 years old, I am more fit and vibrant today than I was in my mid-20s and most definitely healthier than I was in my 30s, when I was almost 300 pounds. Reclaiming my health has made me a more confident, connected, and content person. The change on the outside is a mere reflection of a profound transformation on the inside.”

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 February’s workouts focusing on heart health.

To read more about Nase and Labriola and see their before and progress photos, visit the Isagenix blog.

*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.

About the IsaBody Challenge

The IsaBody Challenge is a 16-week contest that rewards participants for their total-body and life transformations. Participants are judged on their before and progress photos as well as their personal essays describing their journeys.

METAvivor Announces Additional Metastatic Breast Cancer Research Awards

Leave a comment


METAvivor has awarded an additional $1.2 million in research grants to round out 2019 at $6.2 million total for stage IV metastatic breast cancer research.

“2019 was a banner year for METAvivor’s research program. Once we totaled our end of the year donations for research, we were able to award an additional six grants bringing this year’s research award total to 38 grants and a grand total of $6.2 million” said Michael Kovarik, president of METAvivor.


ANNAPOLIS, Md. (PRWEB)

METAvivor Research and Support Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to funding research for Stage IV metastatic breast cancer (MBC), announces six additional grant awards, bringing the 2019 grant award total to $6,200,000. The research grants will enhance the understanding of metastatic breast cancer, help improve current treatments and develop greatly needed therapeutic options to combat this complicated disease.

Metastatic breast cancer (also known as Stage IV or advanced stage cancer) is the spread of breast cancer to other parts of the body — most commonly to the bones, liver, lungs and/or brain. Approximately 30% of breast cancer patients metastasize, with the mean survival after diagnosis being 33 months. In the US, only 2-5% of all cancer research funds are dedicated to Stage IV cancer research – yet 98% of all breast cancer deaths are caused by a metastasis.

“When we announced our grants in December, we were thrilled to have our largest grant award total since METAvivor’s founding. Once we totaled our end of the year donations for research, we were able to award an additional six grants bringing this year’s research award total to 38 grants and a grand total of $6.2 million” said Michael Kovarik, the new President of METAvivor’s Board of Directors “We are humbled that our supporters have helped us exceed our goal for funding stage IV metastatic breast cancer in 2019 and we look forward to an even higher amount of awarded grants in 2020.”

The additional METAvivor grant awards are Translational Research Grants, targeted at career metastasis researchers with a total award of up to $200,000 per grant for 2019.

“Research is our number one priority. It is imperative we increase research funding for stage IV metastatic breast cancer so that we can find life extending treatments. We continue to lose 114 people every day to metastatic breast cancer.” Said Kovarik. “The hope is that the vital research that is being funded will help fulfill the promise to transform metastatic breast cancer from a terminal disease into a chronic, manageable condition.” METAvivor sends a hearty thank you to the donors, fundraisers, research partners, sponsors and the breast cancer community for helping exceed the research goal for 2019.

THE SIX ADDITIONAL METASTATIC RESEARCH GRANT RECIPIENTS:

METAVIVOR TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH AWARDS


  • Nancy Lin, MD – Dana-Farber Cancer Institute – Overcoming Treatment Resistance in Breast Cancer Brain Metastases

  • Bolin Liu, MD – Department of Genetics Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center School of Medicine Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center – IGF-2 in Herceptin refractory HER2-positive breast cancer

  • Paul Lockman, PhD – West Virginia University -Timing of radiotherapy and chemotherapy to improve drug effect in brain metastases of breast cancer

  • Presented by 2019 NYFW + #Cancerland in memory of Champagne Joy – Deepali Sachdev, BSc,MSc, PhD Regents University – Development of natural killer cell based tri-specific killer engagers (TriKEs) as novel immunotherapy for metastatic breast cancer

  • Robert Weinberg, PhD Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research – Mechanisms of Acquired Adaptation of Disseminated Breast Cancer Cells

  • Fei Xing, PhD Wake Forest University Treating breast cancer brain metastasis with immune checkpoint inhibitor and c-Met targeting agent

ABOUT METAVIVOR

METAvivor Research and Support Inc. is an Annapolis-based, 501(c)(3), volunteer-led, non-profit organization founded by metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients in 2009.

enrollmentFUEL Celebrates First Boat Day, February 10, 2020

Our Boat Day Celebration is about encouraging others to do what we all must do – step outside our boat to try something new.


CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (PRWEB)

enrollmentFUEL is pleased to announce the company’s first Boat Day celebration on February 10, 2020. On this day, the company will give all associates a day off, encouraging them to take time to try something new.

February 10 marks the anniversary of when Mike Wesner founded enrollmentFUEL in 2014. That step was the culminating step in a journey that began in earnest when Mike heard a sermon in a country church about Jesus encouraging Peter, his disciple, to have the faith to step out of the boat and walk on water with him.

Mike Wesner said, “When I heard this message, I wanted to start a Student Search company. But there were many unknowns and I felt uncertain. Hearing the sermon gave me the encouragement I needed to step out of my boat and move forward with enrollmentFUEL. As a result, my team and I have created an innovative company that cares deeply about our clients and has the expertise to help institutions grow enrollment. Our Boat Day celebration is about encouraging others to do what we all must do – step outside our boat to try something new as the catalyst for a transformative journey.”

Orangetheory® Fitness of Long Island and ProHealth Care Team Up to Promote Employee Wellness

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

ProHEALTH Care and Orangetheory Fitness are kicking off the new year with a partnership designed to encourage ProHEALTH employee wellness in the form of free classes at any one of the fitness brand’s 18 studios in Long Island paid for by healthcare system.

Through the partnership, ProHEALTH–the largest independent, physician-run healthcare organization in the nation—aims to improve the health and wellness of the community and its employees with a benefits plan that supports physical health through advice and empowerment.

“Orangetheory Fitness classes are designed to guide and inspire your achievement of a healthier, stronger, more empowered version of yourself,” says Zeyad Baker, MD, President and CEO of ProHEALTH Care. “The classes can be tough for even the most athletic of us and are meant to push your performance, just as we do every day in our offices. But this partnership is twofold for us. This is more than a ‘free fitness class’ benefit; it’s an opportunity to come together as an organization and find common interests, passions, and motivators.”

As an aspect of the partnership, Orangetheory Fitness and ProHEALTH will distribute monthly newsletters to each other’s networks that share a fitness or health tip that will support the overall health and wellness of both communities.

“We are very excited to be working with ProHEALTH and to welcome its employees to the Orangetheory family,” said Nick Galanis, Long Island Area Developer for the fitness franchise. “We’re proud to join forces with a company that’s investing in their team. This partnership is a testament to our shared values, and we’re thrilled to be able to provide this meaningful opportunity to such a deserving group of people.”

Each Orangetheory class consists of a 60-minute, full-body workout that is taught by highly-trained coaches. The program is focused around heart-rate based interval training which helps members elevate their heart rate to the “Orange Zone,” which is 84-91 percent of their maximum heart rate.

ProHEALTH Care provides a full range of modern health care services for patients of all ages at locations across New York. Offering primary, specialty and urgent care, ProHEALTH’s team of board certified doctors and highly trained clinicians continuously strive to provide patients with the care they need to live their healthiest lives.

The company was ranked #60 in Inc. magazine’s Fastest Growing Private Companies List and listed as #25 on the 2019 Entrepreneur Franchise 500 list.

Kompan Playgrounds helps City of Albany improve opportunity for health and wellness for all residents

Leave a comment


With the release of the recent update to the Child Opportunity Index, the value of the addition of these playgrounds has been proven. The City of Albany has risen on list over the course of 5 years.


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

The Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University released the Child Opportunity Index 2.0. With this new release they identified success stories of communities spurred to action by the release of the Child Opportunity Index 1.0 in 2015. The City of Albany is one of these.

The 2015 release found that Albany was the lowest ranked of 100 major cities in the US in terms of opportunity for healthy development of Hispanic and black children. Mayor Kathy Sheehan partnered with Jonathan Jones, Commissioner of Recreation, Youth & Workforce on how to fix this deficit. They decided to solve this by refurbishing parks and adding play and fitness equipment throughout the city.

“We’ve redone 13 parks and many have intergenerational features, like fitness equipment to help the whole family. Each new park has ADA compliant equipment, so all of our residents could play,” says Jones. “Albany is a neighborhood city, and the parks connect the neighborhoods.”

Albany partnered with KOMPAN to build unique playgrounds reflecting each set of surroundings and geography in the 13 playgrounds and fitness areas constructed so far.

“Not only is [each park] a place for our young people to meet friends, create networks, there are a lot of apparatus’ here that are going to challenge them not only physically but mentally,” added Jones.

With the release of the recent update to the Child Opportunity Index, the value of the addition of these playgrounds has been proven. The City of Albany has risen on list over the course of 5 years, and looks forward to more progress.
