fresh and vacuum-sealed meals (lasting 14 days)…

“I love My Fit Foods because I’m a busy mom of two and a teacher (who doesn’t enjoy cooking or meal prepping) and it has made my life so much easier. I look forward to the yummy, portion-controlled meals and always being prepared. I lost 34lbs by changing my diet and eating My Fit Foods.”

HOUSTON (PRWEB)
February 09, 2022

My Fit Foods, a national brand of healthy, affordable meal prep options, is back in the city that started it all, choosing Houston for one of six brick-and-mortar locations nationwide. The brand is passionate about making fresh health food affordable, and offers over 70 different meals fit for a variety of lifestyles and diets.

Made fresh daily, My Fit Foods boasts offerings such as the original Lean Lemon Turkey, a Chicken Salad Wrap in a spinach tortilla, Bougie mac with ground turkey and cheddar cheese, Asian salad with chicken, kale and sweet corn, and many more meals both new and old for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. My Fit Foods is designed for people on the go, who prefer saving time over the chore of meal prepping, but who still want healthy, fresh and delicious meals.

In addition to their fresh and vacuum-sealed meals (lasting 14 days), the brand also offers a Registered Dietitians and Nutritionist to help those who need assistance in developing a meal program best suited for them. This program, called My Fit Life, has helped thousands of people become healthier. Additionally, regular patrons can join Fit Club, where ten dollars a month will earn them twenty percent off on every meal.

Longtime residents know that My Fit Foods originally started in Houston; however, when the company was bought out, founder Mario Mendias saw the core values he worked diligently to instill falling to the wayside, before the company eventually went bankrupt. Fortunately, Mendias was able to purchase the name trademark from the bankruptcy courts in 2019 and is excited to build the brand back, his way this time. About re-launching his brand, Mendias said, “I am dedicated to making sure My Fit Foods runs as well as she can for all of us. Failure is never final. When you have a hard time in life, your fate is in your hands. Take ownership, learn, grow and get on with it.”

Houston’s My Fit Foods joins five other brick-and-mortar locations in Denver and Oregon. With plans to expand to every major city by 2025, future locations are expected in Austin, Dallas, Phoenix, Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City, Fort Collins, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and more. Local customers are already abuzz, praising My Fit Foods’ return, one stating, “I love My Fit Foods because I’m a busy mom of two and a teacher (who doesn’t enjoy cooking or meal prepping) and it has made my life so much easier. I look forward to the yummy, portion-controlled meals and always being prepared. I lost 34lbs by changing my diet and eating My Fit Foods.”

My Fit Foods is not only passionate about fresh and healthy foods, they’re also serving the underserved. For every four meals purchased, one is donated to local or national non-profits who provide for families in need. Customers can visit My Fit Foods’ Houston location at 3239 Southwest Fwy, Houston, TX 77027, or take advantage of their delivery service that runs Tuesday through Friday. My Fit Foods currently offers shipping to 26 states. (Shipping details can be found here.)

TJ Ademiluyi and Adun Akanni, Alaffia Health Co-Founders

“Most insurance payers ideally would like to review more of their claims, but with claim volumes in the millions, it’s currently impossible to do so–industry incumbents are still reviewing medical claims and records by hand,” says TJ Ademiluyi, co-founder and CEO of Alaffia Health.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
February 09, 2022

Alaffia Health, a cutting-edge healthtech company that is using proprietary AI technology to eliminate overpayments on medical claims, announced today that it has raised $5M in Seed funding, bringing its total amount of capital raised to $6.6M. The company intends to both scale its operations and expand its commercial footprint. The round was led by Anthemis with participation from investors including 1984 Ventures, Aperture Venture Capital, Tau Ventures, Twine Ventures, Plug and Play Ventures, ERA’s Remarkable Ventures Fund, and a group of other best-in-class investors and healthcare leaders.

Alaffia Health was founded in 2020 by TJ Ademiluyi and Adun Akanni, a brother and sister founding team who are using knowledge obtained from their family’s legacy medical billing business to reduce costs and waste in the healthcare system. Today, healthcare expenditures comprise about 1/5th of the U.S. GDP, and a significant portion of that spending is derived from errors in health insurance claims. It is estimated that about 80% of claims in the US contain at least one medical billing error, and $300B is lost to provider fraud, waste, and abuse every year.

Alaffia Health is working to lower healthcare costs by disrupting how and when medical claims are paid. The company offers health insurance payers (health plans, third-party administrators, self-insured employers, and stop-loss carriers) an AI-driven payment integrity service, working alongside them to review claims more thoroughly and in less time. “The issue with the industry status quo is that most medical claims aren’t fully reviewed but are paid automatically,” said Adun Akanni, co-founder and COO of Alaffia Health. “It’s likely that while maybe only half of the charges in that $10,000 bill sent to your health insurance payer were legitimate, a full payment was automatically granted. Given that 80% of medical claims contain an error, that wasted spend adds up quickly.”

Alaffia Health is redefining how claims are processed. It has introduced a more proactive system–thoroughly reviewing claims and supporting documentation on a prepayment basis to ensure that more claims are paid accurately. “Most insurance payers ideally would like to review more of their claims, but with claim volumes in the millions, it’s currently impossible to do so–industry incumbents are still reviewing medical claims and records by hand,” says TJ Ademiluyi, co-founder and CEO of Alaffia Health. The company is leveraging artificial intelligence to tackle this problem and automate the most arduous tasks. Its proprietary system allows each charge and piece of supporting documentation in higher-cost claims to be reviewed 5x faster than industry standards. This allows its customers to increase both the volume and integrity of claims that are reviewed.

Since its founding, the company has grown rapidly, scaling the size of its team by 5x and increasing its revenues by 24x in 2021 alone. Alaffia plans to use its new funding to expand its operations and further penetrate its target markets. Vinay Singh from Anthemis noted, “COVID-19 has brought added focus from all industry participants–providers, payers, and regulators–on overpayments and waste throughout the healthcare system. Alaffia Health’s technology offers a seamless, efficient solution that has an immediate impact on reducing that waste.”

Dr. Humza Ilyas of Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics recently received the prestigious honor of becoming board certified for Mohs surgery

“One of our main goals at Olansky is to be at the forefront of skin cancer treatment,” says Dr. Ilyas, “and Mohs surgery offers a notable improvement to standard therapy.”

ATLANTA (PRWEB)
February 09, 2022

Dr. Humza Ilyas of Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics – Atlanta’s premier full-service dermatology practice – recently received the prestigious honor of becoming board certified for Mohs surgery. Dr. Ilyas is one of the first Mohs surgeons in the country to achieve this new certification awarded by the American Board of Dermatology.

This outstanding level of recognition not only continues to solidify Dr. Ilyas’ expertise as one of the premier surgeons in this procedure, but it gives patients another reason to choose Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics with confidence.

“One of our main goals at Olansky is to be at the forefront of skin cancer treatment,” says Dr. Ilyas, “and Mohs surgery offers a notable improvement to standard therapy.”

Mohs surgery is an outpatient procedure that removes skin cancer while minimizing damage to surrounding skin tissue, protecting skin aesthetics. Throughout the surgery, a physician sequentially excises small layers of skin, examining them for the presence of skin cancer. This is done until the skin cancer has been completely extracted. Mohs surgery improves the patient’s chance at a cure and drastically reduces the need for additional treatments, enabling patients to have access to superior treatments with increased accuracy and convenience.

The procedure is regarded as most effective in the treatment of basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas, the two most common skin cancer types. The surgery can also be utilized for some melanomas and unusual cancer types.

Dr. Ilyas practices at both Olansky locations in Buckhead and Roswell, offering additional convenience to metro Atlanta patients.

“Mohs surgery can be technically demanding,” Dr. Ilyas explains. “So it’s an honor to be able to share our level of expertise with patients.”

To schedule an appointment with the Mohs surgery experts at Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics by reaching visit OlanksyDermatology.com or call 404-355-5484.

Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics is your dermatology solution. Our ability to provide full-service dermatology to patients of all ages is a distinct benefit to choosing our 40-year-old practice. We offer medical, surgical, cosmetic, and aesthetic services to our patients, and even same day appointments when possible. This makes us not only a convenient solution for your family, but a comprehensive one as well. With services ranging from our in-house Mohs surgery for skin cancer, advanced laser therapy for psoriasis or our aesthetic services for skin rejuvenation, Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics can handle all of your skin concerns.
