Food is medicine, and ingredients do matter for the best patient outcomes.

ST. LOUIS (PRWEB)
October 22, 2019

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) announced today the addition of leading plant-based oral and tube-feeding formula company Kate Farms to its Lifestyle Medicine Corporate Roundtable, a group of individuals and organizations whose collective vision is sustainable human health, a sustainable health care system and a sustainable world.

Kate Farms is the leader in plant-based, organic, ready-to-use oral and tube feeding formulas. Made with organic pea protein and providing 24 vitamins and minerals and a phytonutrient blend that delivers antioxidants and prebiotic fiber, Kate Farms formulas are non-GMO, gluten free and do not contain the eight most common sources of allergens, which are commonly found in traditional formulas. Last week Kate Farms’ first third-party study was released demonstrating both efficacy and improved tolerance of plant-based formulas for pediatric patients.

“I’m proud to be representing Kate Farms and joining the many committed and talented people on the Corporate Roundtable working to transform health and health care,” said John Hommeyer, Kate Farms Chief Operating Officer. “We know from our clinical trials and patient and clinician reporting that Kate Farms produces better health outcomes. In one study, 87% of clinicians reported improved symptoms of GI intolerance in most or all of their patients. By joining the Roundtable, we have the opportunity to engage and educate health care professionals about the outcomes when plant-based options like Kate Farms are made available for their patients.”

“Food is medicine, and ingredients do matter for the best patient outcomes,” said ACLM President Dexter Shurney, MD, MBA, FACLM, DipABLM. “Kate Farms’ unique formulations offer the potential for significant improvements to health and to the practice of health care. Doctors, dietitians, parents, caregivers and those with medical and dietary needs are now empowered with the choice of a new formula. We welcome Kate Farms to the Corporate Roundtable.”

The Corporate Roundtable of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine convenes health care and lifestyle thought leaders, with a keen focus on the power of Lifestyle Medicine to transform health and health care. Roundtable members explore effective Lifestyle Medicine clinical applications, strategies for accelerating reimbursement and adoption and analysis of potential business-related opportunities. The Roundtable launched in 2015 and has grown to include more than 30 active member organizations.

About the American College of Lifestyle Medicine

ACLM is the medical professional association for those dedicated to the advancement and clinical practice of Lifestyle Medicine as the foundation of a transformed and sustainable health care system.

PRMA surgeon performing sensory nerve reconstruction during DIEP flap breast reconstruction.

I want other women to know there is a light at the end of the breast cancer tunnel. Choosing to have breast reconstruction was the best thing I’ve done for myself both physically and mentally.

SAN ANTONIO (PRWEB)
October 22, 2019

After being diagnosed with breast cancer at 36 years old, Cynthia chose to undergo a double mastectomy.

“Because I also had a strong family history of breast cancer on my dad’s side, I had both breasts removed to reduce my risk of developing cancer again in the future,” Cynthia shares.

Radiation was recommended as part of her cancer treatment, so Cynthia chose not to have breast reconstruction at the time of her breast cancer surgery. Following her mastectomy, Cynthia experienced numbness in her chest. Numbness following mastectomy is extremely common and is caused by nerves that supply feeling to the chest being cut when the surgeon removes the breast tissue. Unfortunately, many patients will end up losing most if not all their breast sensation because of the mastectomy.

About a year after having her breast removed, Cynthia was finally ready for reconstruction.

Initially she consulted with a local plastic surgeon who informed her of her reconstructive options. She was told that because of her prior radiation, breast reconstruction would likely be unsuccessful. It wasn’t until her radiation oncologist encouraged her to get a second option from the surgeons at PRMA Plastic Surgery that she felt hopeful.

“After my mastectomy and hysterectomy, I felt like everything that defined me as a woman was gone,” explains Cynthia. “I feared I would always feel deformed. Dr. Ledoux gave me hope that I would be able to achieve my desired results though DIEP flap reconstruction.”

In December of 2018, Cynthia underwent DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery. This procedure does not depend on implants to recreate a breast. Instead, it uses the patient’s own tissue from the lower abdomen to restore a warm, soft, natural breast after a mastectomy. Unlike the TRAM flap that also utilizes lower abdominal tissue, the DIEP flap preserves all the patient’s abdominal muscles. Sparing the abdominal muscles makes recovery much easier and significantly decreases the risk of abdominal complications, like bulging or a hernia.

“When I first saw my new breasts after surgery, I was immediately relieved,” she says. “They looked like real breasts!”

About six months after the initial surgery, her newly reconstructed breasts also began to truly “feel” like natural breasts.

During the DIEP surgery, PRMA surgeons perform an extra procedure known as sensory nerve reconstruction. This repairs the nerves cut by the mastectomy and significantly improves return of feeling to the reconstructed breast.

“At first, it felt like a tingling sensation…kind of like when your foot falls asleep. But eventually the tingling subsided and now my reconstructed breasts feel almost the same as my natural breasts used to,” Cynthia shares. “I remember going into the office for my nipple reconstruction procedure…Dr. Ledoux was using a needle to inject a numbing medicine and I could feel the needle prick!”

“Cynthia’s experience is something we see regularly at PRMA,” shares PRMA co-founder Dr. Peter Ledoux. “The goal of breast reconstruction is to restore a sense of wholeness after breast cancer surgery, but we want to raise the bar. Restoring sensation in the breast is the next major frontier in breast reconstruction but unfortunately this has yet to be embraced by all plastic surgeons. We are proud to say we have been successfully performing sensory nerve reconstruction since the 1990’s!”

“I want other women to know there is a light at the end of the breast cancer tunnel. Choosing to have breast reconstruction was the best thing I’ve done for myself both physically and mentally,” Cynthia shares. “I hope that by sharing my experience, I can help others who find themselves in the same situation I faced.”

Hands On Training – Hair, Face and ED with Stem Cells, Exosomes and PRP Therapy!

Any provider who wants to offer the stem cell procedures for hair, face and ED needs to attend this course. We go through marketing for patient acquisition, then teach in a hands on setting the best techniques for becoming an expert in these procedures. Become your local expert!

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (PRWEB)
October 23, 2019

R3 Stem Cell is now enrolling for its upcoming hands on Regenerative Aesthetics Training Course coming up November 15-16th, 2019 in Scottsdale, AZ. The course will teach all types of aesthetic providers skills in micro-needling, hair restoration, facial and body rejuvenation along with erectile dysfunction using stem cells, exosomes, thread lifting and PRP therapy.

All types of providers including MD, DO, NP, PA, RN, ND and aesthetician injectors should call (844) GET-STEM for more information and to enroll.

As an increasing number of patients ask providers about regenerative aesthetics procedures, there is a huge need for training that teaches the best skills in a hands on setting. The R3 Course includes real patients for hands on training with stem cell biologics, exosomes, PRP therapy and PDO thread lifting. In addition, each provider receives a free regenerative procedure!

The regenerative aesthetics trainers at the course are experts in stem cell and PRP facelifts. This includes combining regenerative biologics with fillers, micro needling and thread lifting to provide the best nonoperative results. Stem cell and PRP facelifts offer a great option for patients to achieve a much younger appearance without potentially risky surgery.

Said R3 CEO David Greene, MD, MBA “Any provider who wants to offer the stem cell procedures for hair, face and ED needs to attend this course. We go through marketing for patient acquisition, then teach in a hands on setting the best techniques for becoming an expert in these procedures. Become your local expert!”

PDO thread lifting is a great addition to regenerative aesthetics, but it can be tricky to achieve the best results while avoiding complications. The FDA requires providers to be Certified, and R3 offers a Sunday PDO Thread Lifting Training Course on November 17th for MD’s, DO’s and NP’s to get Certified specifically in thread lifting.

Hair restoration procedures also require a specific skill set in order to achieve numbing and the systematic approach to injecting the biologics for optimal results. The R3 expert hair trainers will teach providers who is a good candidate, how to perform the workup and then how to perform the procedures using best practice protocols.

Erectile dysfunction procedures are also taught including the P Shot and the O Shot. The procedures may be very effective, and the R3 trainers will show how to perform the procedures and ancillary therapies to provide the best outcome.

Real patients will be available for providers to learn on in a hands on setting, and each attendee will also receive a stem cell procedure as well.

Currently the course is being offered with $1000 off to make it $2495. The training will take place at ASU SkySong Center for Innovation in the beautiful setting of Scottsdale, Arizona. Call (844) GET-STEM and visit https://stemcelltrainingcourse.org for more information and registration.
