Celebrity Personal Trainer Gains 50 Pounds for Web Series “The 180° In 90”

Leave a comment


The myriad mental and physical health benefits of getting in shape, especially over the age of 40, are too important to ignore


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Celebrity personal trainer Scott Yonehiro, Founder of SY Performance in Los Angeles is documenting his journey back to optimal fitness after intentionally gaining 50 lbs. for his new web series, “The 180° In 90.” The series is streaming on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/c/scottyonehiro

The daily YouTube series was created by Yonehiro, who specializes in helping film and television stars get into excellent physical shape for their roles. However, “The 180° In 90” was designed with a different audience in mind.

Yonehiro, who is in his late 40’s, said that he was inspired to create the series, which follows him as he attempts to lose 50 pounds over 90 days, by men his age, who are struggling to get back into shape as they get older. “It seemed as if all advertisements for men my age were promoting medicine for hair loss, supposed miracle weight loss supplements, or treatments for erectile dysfunction. All of these products are designed to temporarily make men feel better about aging,” he said.

“In order to truly feel better as we get older, we need to be physically fit. We need the regular blast of endorphins that exercising provides, we need the increased mental acuity that exercise affords, we need the cardiovascular benefits to prevent heart disease, and we need to take action to prevent bone loss. The myriad mental and physical health benefits of getting in shape, especially over the age of 40, are too important to ignore,” Yonehiro added.

Yonehiro is candid with his audience, experiencing temporary weight gains on camera, and admitting that getting into shape at age 48, is far more challenging than it was in his 20’s. “I’m sore. I took 9 months off from exercising, and I ate whatever I wanted to gain this weight. Now I’m trying to get it off, and it’s challenging. I understand why men and women in their 40’s are reluctant to go back to the gym,” he said.

“The reality is, those of us over 40 who are heading back to the gym aren’t going to feel like we did after a workout in our 20’s. It’s tough. But we can choose to feel aches and pains because we’re working out and doing something wonderful for ourselves, or we can feel sore and achy as the result of our bodies breaking down with age. It is our choice,” Yonehiro explained.

“The 180° In 90” chronicles Yonehiro’s weight loss, fat loss, and muscle gain, in real time. Yonehiro also shares exactly what he eats every day, and details all supplements he takes, on his journey to get back into shape. The series, which debuted on October 4, 2019 quickly attracted a loyal following, in part because Yonehiro provides frequent health tips, brings viewers into his kitchen as he preps food, and to the supermarket as he shops for meals.

Thirty days into his 90-day journey, Yonehiro has lost 15 lbs., and reduced his body fat from 24.1% to 19.9%.

“I’m hoping that following my journey shows other men and women my age, that it never is too late to get back into shape. I’m not suggesting that viewers need to lose the same amount, in the same timeline. I just want everyone to know that it can be done. You can completely transform your body, and your overall health relatively quickly even in middle age.”

About Scott Yonehiro

Scott Yonehiro is a celebrity personal trainer based in Los Angeles. The creator of “The 180° In 90,” Yonehiro is also the founder of SY Performance (SYP) which provides cutting-edge training techniques to bring out the ‘Elite Business Athlete’ that lies within each individual.

Burcon Chiropractic Research Institute in Grand Rapids, MI Celebrates the 20th Anniversary of Discovering the Cause of Meniere’s Disease

Leave a comment


Dr. Mike gave Kris her her life back, and he gave me my wife back, Greg Wieman.


GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (PRWEB)

20th Anniversary Open House, Saturday, November 9, 2019, 10 am-2 pm. Call Jane at 616-575-9990 to schedule your appointment. All treatment available for your tax deductible donation to help cover James Tomasi’s (of the Upper Cervical Advocates) health care medical bills. His books (What Time Tuesday?) available free at our office, first come first serve.

Inner Ear Fluids Imbalances in Meniere’s Disease

Between Blood and CranioSacral Fluid

Abstract

Background

The human skull is a semi-closed hydraulic system securing the brain, blood and cerebrospinal fluid. Eliminating the brain with unremarkable MRI diagnosing Meniere’s disease, if one of the two fluid capacities is raised, the other must be lowered. Based on one thousand MD patients studied, it is hypothesized that approximately ninety one percent have normal pressure hydrocephalus caused by cerebellar tonsillar ectopia resulting from whiplash/concussion trauma. Idiopathic intercranial pressure admits too much CSF into inner ear via internal auditory canal, lowering blood supply by as much as forty percent.

Methods

Detailed case histories were taken with an emphasis on head and neck injuries an average of fifteen years prior to onset of Meniere’s symptoms. Pattern was established utilizing thermography and Burcon Cervical Specific 10 Step Protocol, determining when and where to adjust. Upper cervical adjustment listings were obtained by Blair x-ray analysis. Lower cervical listings were determined by Pierce Results.

Results

One thousand MD patients were followed for a minimum of one year, checked a minimum of twelve times. On a scale of zero to ten using a patient questionnaire, vertigo, aural fullness and nausea improved by eighty percent or more in 91% percent of cases. Audiogram tests demonstrated hearing improved by sixty percent or more in 30% of cases. Significant improvements in tinnitus were 19%. Negative finding was an increase in severity or frequency of headaches in 2%.

Conclusion

Intracranial hypertension may represent the shared pathogenetic step explaining the large epidemiological comorbidity between migraine and vestibular symptoms, conceptualized as vestibular migraine.

The ears processing centers architecture is designed genetically, and subject to modification by stresses presented during development, rendering some more vulnerable to disease. Traumas to the head and neck, concussions and whiplash injuries, set the stage for significant problems, an average of fifteen years later.

Testimonial letter from satisfied patient, he approved it for publication:

July 23, 2017

Nine years ago my life began to change. It started with a sudden popping in my left ear and then a loud ringing noise that eventually left me legally deaf in my ear. This persisted until four years ago when I began to get sudden-unexplainable episodes of vertigo which have lasted as long as four hours at a time with bouts of nausea and vomiting. The last symptom to surface was brain fog, which made it difficult for form words, followed by severe fatigue or me to speak. When this would happen I would basically crash and have to sleep it off. I went to several doctors throughout the last nine years with undergoing blood tests, hearing test, MRI with finally a diagnosis of Meniere’s disease. I was prescribed various types of medications, which did not work, and either made me extremely tired or increased my vertigo.

I noticed that the change of season made it worse, especially spring and summer, so I took double doses of allergy medicine, which helped only slightly. There became a point where I gave up and determined that this was how I would have to live my life. There were no answers because every doctor I went to (even the ENT that specialized in Meniere) did not know the cause or even how to treat it. Their answer was to unhook my left ear, which I was leaning towards. My wife refused to believe this would be how our lives would have to be lived, so she began to research Meniere’s on the Internet to see if there was anything we had missed.

There was one name that kept coming up, Dr. Michael Burcon in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Together, we read everything we could find about his research and watched testimonials and health talks on you tube. My wife called Dr. Burcon’s office and spoke to his wife, Jane. She was very helpful and provided her with a wealth of information. She was comforting and supportive and for the first time, there seemed to be hope. Together my wife and I decided it was worth a trip from Virginia to Michigan to participate in Dr. Burcon’s one-week intensive program and I was scheduled to go the first week in June. I met Dr. Burcon, Monday June 5, 2017 and my day began with a comprehensive assessment, which consisted of an examination, x-rays, and my medical history. I had my first manipulation that day.

The second day, I returned for another day of treatment, which began with a manipulation. My hearing returned with the second manipulation. I was able to put my cell phone to my left ear and call my wife. When I left the office that day, I heard the wind blowing in my ear. I continued with Dr. Burcon throughout the week and returned home on June 10th. During the week I spent with Dr. Burcon, I did not experience any bouts of vertigo, brain fog, and my hearing in my left ear returned. The ringing in my ear continued, however it didn’t seem as loud because I could hear things around me with my left ear.

Additionally, I met other people who had Meniere’s and realized that there are others who suffer from symptoms a lot worse than I do. Dr. Burcon was good about educating me about my body and the causes of the symptoms that I have endured. Burcon Chiropractic was such a supportive and caring environment to be in and my experience there was amazing. Since returning home, I have found an Axis Orthogonal Chiropractor, to continue the treatment that Dr. Burcon started. Lucky for me, he knows of Dr. Burcon and highly respects him and his research.

I continue to progress and my symptoms continue to be managed. In summary, Dr. Burcon has changed my life!! He has helped me and found the cause and treatment for Meniere’s when no other doctor could. Because of my time in Michigan, I understand that the symptoms I have are because of my neck being out of alignment (caused by several accidents when I was younger) and with help from an Atlas Orthogonal chiropractor, my symptoms can be managed and I can live a normal life. I am so glad that I took a chance and went to Michigan to work with Dr. Burcon. My experience there was positive from the minute I walked into his office and met his wife until I left to return to Virginia. What he has done for people with Meniere’s is encouraging and life changing. I will be returning to Michigan next year to see him again; after all he gave me my life back.

All My Best,

Tony Young

Connie A. Baker Licensed Professional Counselor offers Online Support Group to Help Wide Spectrum of Religious Abuse Survivors

Leave a comment


This group is a resource for those who have experienced religious abuse, be it psychological, verbal, sexual or financial. With authenticity, openness, and careful consideration of many different faith traditions, Connie provides a safe place to process and build community with other survivors


PORTLAND, Ore. (PRWEB)

Connie A. Baker, MA, LPC announces an online Facebook support group that centers on the healing and recovery of those who have been traumatized by religion and religious leaders. Through personal stories, interaction among its members, polls, memes, discussions, humor and Connie’s live broadcasts, this Facebook group – Overcoming Religious Abuse Community – provides support, community, education, hope and healing to spiritual abuse survivors.

She leads this group from the perspective of a professional therapist who teaches and counsels survivors, and from her own perspective from being a survivor of religious abuse. “When I went through horrible religious abuse back in 1990, I was completely confused and without resources to get clarity and healing. I never want anyone to go through what I did after abuse. This group and my book “Traumatized by Religious Abuse: Courage, Hope and Freedom for Survivors” are the resources I needed back then and didn’t have.”

“Traumatic wounds suffered in a place that should represent safety, security, and comfort can be some of the most confusing wounds of all,” Baker says.

This group is a resource for those who have experienced religious abuse, be it psychological, verbal, sexual or financial. With authenticity, openness, and careful consideration of many different faith traditions, Connie provides a safe place to process and build community with other survivors.

Discussions in Overcoming Religious Abuse Community revolve around the many questions survivors ask:

How did this happen to me?

How were power and control used to hurt and manipulate me?

What were the hallmark characteristics of the abusive leaders and abusive religious cultures that I experienced?

What were the implicit and subtle messages used by my abusers?

What were the emotional, mental and existential damages after abuse?

How can I recover and heal??

In this group, Connie A Baker discusses how religious ideas are often used to manipulate followers and how fear, shame, guilt and superstition can be leveraged for control. Bringing her experience and training to this group, her goal is to see survivors heal and thrive!

About Connie Baker

Connie A Baker, MA LPC, is a licensed professional counselor with a Master of Arts in Counseling. She is a clinical supervisor, Masters Level University instructor, conference speaker and seminar teacher. She is a trauma recovery specialist, trained life coach, and the author of her new book, ‘Traumatized by Religious Abuse: Courage, Hope and Healing for Survivors. This acclaimed book is the culmination of her own story and years of experience as a therapist. The book is now available at retail outlets and on Amazon.com

Connie is sought after for guidance, radio and television interviews, and contributions to magazines for support and education about religious abuse and trauma recovery.

Connie lives in Portland, OR with her husband, JR. They have 3 grown children and 1 grandson.

Dr. Jeremy Friese of Verata Health Invited to Discuss the State of Prior Authorizations with Minnesota Hospital Association and North Memorial Health Leadership

Leave a comment


Dr Jeremy Friese

“I’m proud that our proven artificial intelligence platform is helping patients across the country and providing immediate financial value for providers,” said Dr. Friese.


MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB)

Faced with growing prior authorization burden across the state of Minnesota the Minnesota Hospital Association announced a webinar with Dr. Jeremy Friese, CEO of Verata Health, Matt Anderson, Interim CEO of Minnesota Hospital Association, and Nate Dell, VP of Revenue Cycle Management at North Memorial Health to understand the current challenges faced by Minnesota providers and potential solutions. Joe Schindler, VP of Finance of Minnesota Hospital Association, will moderate the webinar to be held on Wednesday, November 6 at noon CST.

Hosted by the Minnesota Hospital Association, the webinar will provide an update on Prior Authorization (PA) advocacy efforts in Minnesota as well as highlight the ways in which Minnesota hospitals and health systems are working to reduce patient delays and billing denials related to PA challenges. Best practices and transformational improvements to PA processes using artificial intelligence will also be discussed.

Manual, time-consuming prior authorizations are a major bottleneck for medical care, leading to delays in obtaining necessary tests and procedures for patients. According to the American Medical Association, 92 percent of physicians report patient care delays due to PA. For clinics and hospitals, the impact is also financial. In recent years, errors in prior authorizations have grown to account for 30% of all provider write-offs. Industry experts quote a cost of $20-50 per prior authorization and tens of thousands more per physician annually due to expensive write-offs. By leveraging powerful artificial intelligence, Verata Health’s provider and hospital customers across the country are automating both simple and complex prior authorizations, dramatically reducing staff burden, increasing patient throughput and reducing costly write-offs.

“After spending nearly two decades practicing medicine and helping lead the most profitable department at Mayo Clinic, I launched Verata Health to help patients get the care they deserve by solving the national PA problem. I’m proud that our proven artificial intelligence platform is helping patients across the country and providing immediate financial value for providers,” said Dr. Friese.

About Verata Health:

Verata Health is a Minnesota-based, physician-led company changing the way medical practices and hospitals tackle the challenges presented by obtaining prior authorization (PA). By leveraging powerful artificial intelligence, Verata Health automates both simple and complex prior authorizations thereby delivering immediate financial value and most importantly helping patients get the care they deserve.

Officials from Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital and developer PMB held a ground- breaking ceremony for the $19 million, 55,000-square-foot St. Mary’s Medical Pavilion.

PMB is… delighted to partner with Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital to make this exciting project a reality.


TUCSON, Ariz., and SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)

PMB, one of the nation’s leading real estate owners and developers across the continuum of care, announced that it has broken ground on the new Class A, 55,000-square-foot St. Mary’s Medical Pavilion on Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital campus in Tucson.

The $19 million project on the campus of the 400-bed acute-care hospital is already 60 percent pre-leased by Carondelet Medical Group, which will anchor the building with a 23,000-square-foot multispecialty practice. Other tenants will be The Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation and MHC (Marana Health Clinic).

Ryan Harper, COO of Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital, notes, “The new St. Mary’s Medical Pavilion will add needed medical office space on the St. Mary’s Hospital campus. The new medical offices show a commitment to adding health provider options for the community and will increase the total square footage by 50 percent compared to the existing Century Medical Plaza.”

The new, two-story medical office building will be located adjacent to the existing 37,000-square-foot Century Medical Plaza, which PMB acquired from Healthcare Realty Trust in December 2018. Century Medical Plaza is a functionally obsolete property located at 1701 W. St. Mary’s Road in Tucson on St. Mary’s Hospital campus. When St. Mary’s Medical Pavilion is completed in July 2020, PMB will demolish the Century Medical Plaza and develop 275 surface parking spaces dedicated to servicing visitors to the new building. A number of existing Century Medical Plaza tenants will relocate into the new building upon completion.

Mark D. Toothacre, President of PMB, said, “PMB is grateful for the opportunity to improve the quality of healthcare delivery through the replacement of functionally obsolete clinic space with a new medical pavilion designed for the delivery of modern medicine, and we’re delighted to partner with Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital to make this exciting project a reality.”

Mary Carolyn & Sharon Kleyne Explore Nutrition & Water Health On Kleyne Talk Radio

Leave a comment



GRANTS PASS, Ore. (PRWEB)

Date aired: October 28th, 2019

Guest: Mary Carolyn, certified personal trainer, nutritionist, yoga instructor, Science Cheerleader

Sharon Kleyne, founder and research director of Bio Logic Aqua Research Water Life Science, the only research center in the world that is exclusively devoted to the study of body water evaporation and evaporation of water of the earth and solar system uses her weekly talk radio program to educate people everywhere about the real global water crisis that threatens life.

Kleyne, who shares every week on her talk radio show, The Sharon Kleyne Hour Water Life Science®/Nature’s Pharma®, The Power of Water® & Your Health sponsored by Nature’s Tears® EyeMist® on VoiceAmerica sponsored by Global Dragon TV and produced by Rose Hong, that we are all walking sponges and must drink 8-to-10 glasses of water a day one full glass at a time, recently welcomed guest Mary Carolyn to the show.

Carolyn is a former professor of math, statistics and research at the University of Maryland and George Mason University and worked as a senior statistician in human space flight for the U.S. Department of Transportation. Currently, Carolyn is a nutrition expert, certified personal trainer, RYT200 Yoga professional, certified Pilates trainer and corporate instructor in group fitness.

Carolyn, whose training is in plant-based nutrition, claims that variety and hydration are most important in a healthy diet. “Eat seasonally,” she urges, “and remember that the most colorful vegetables are the healthiest.” Carolyn encourages people to grow gardens but that it is all right to use frozen vegetables, “a second-best alternative to farm-fresh veggies”. Carolyn also says that people can easily learn how to grow healthy herbs such as cilantro and parsley.

Kleyne observes that more people are taking the world water crisis seriously but that there is so much work to do. “Not enough people know how to protect the water,” Kleyne cautions. “More people need to study evaporation and finding cures for diseases by using common sense.”

This is the fifteenth year DXL has participated in the campaign, which began as a holiday season fundraising effort and has grown into a longstanding annual tradition. Since joining the campaign, DXL has raised more than $12 million thanks to the tremendous support of its customers and associates. These funds are critical given that no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

Since 2017, DXL has raised $3 million in donations for the hospital, representing a quarter of their donation commitment of $12 million by year-end 2026. At this rate, it is likely they will surpass their donation goal. In recognition of the donation commitment, the name “DXL Men’s Apparel” has been attached to the Light Microscopy Center at the Memphis-based hospital.

“We are honored to have this partnership with St. Jude. There’s nothing more important than saving a child’s life and that’s why we all — associates and customers alike — continue to give.” said Harvey Kanter, President and Chief Executive Officer at DXL. “Supporting the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is part of our culture here at DXL and one that we’re immensely proud of as a company.”

The campaign launched on Monday, October 28 and will run through Sunday, January 5. DXL’s customers can support the campaign by donating at their local store. In addition, DXL will have a variety of fundraisers at the corporate office.

“I give thanks this holiday season for the loyal support of DXL Group as we kick off the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign,” said Marlo Thomas, National Outreach Director for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “The caring and unwavering commitment of DXL Group, their dedicated employees and generous customers to the children of St. Jude is instrumental in helping raise the necessary funds to ensure that families never pay St. Jude for anything – not for treatment, travel, housing or food – because we believe all a family should worry about is helping their child live.”

Created by siblings Marlo, Terre and Tony Thomas – children of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas – the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign asks people to “Give thanks for the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not” in order to help the hospital carry out its mission: Finding cures. Saving children. ®
