Author, healer and psychoanalyst Maggie Moor has developed a spiritual self-help book that outlines her somatic healing method to help those who have been through trauma. “I AM: Your Guide to Mind and Body Union for Total Awareness” is designed to help readers who have endured trauma to become self-aware and create a mind, body and soul connection within themselves.
As a woman who faced childhood sexual abuse, drug and alcohol addiction and various other dangerous situations, Moor was motivated to develop her book to connect with others who have endured similar experiences in their lives. In “I AM,” Moor emphasizes the importance of unifying the mind and body to achieve total awareness within oneself while here on Earth. She details concepts such as energetic awareness, healing the inner child and cultivating somatic experiences as tools readers can use to heal their past trauma.

Temporary Isolation Can Be The Opportunity To Permanently Transform Your Weight And Health
Los Angeles, CA, May 18, 2020 ̶ Not sure how to eat and stay healthy this quarantine season without resorting to your familiar diet of spaghetti, bread, pizza, and sugar? Candice Rosen, R.N., MSW, and author of the upcoming book Forget Dieting: It’s All About Data-Driven Fueling! encourages “trophology,” or “food combining,” which is one of the foundations of Rosen’s Data-Driven Fueling Plan. As you combine foods, Rosen adds that “monitoring blood glucose is the key to weight gain vs. weight loss; good health vs. poor health.”
1. Make Wednesdays and Fridays Vegan Days. According to Rosen, avoid dairy! Try vegan yogurts, cheeses, and milks. Dairy is inflammatory and will deplete your bones of calcium (it’s true!). There are unsweetened milks of almond, hemp, cashew, etc., and all are available in grocery stores. A low blood glucose breakfast idea would be a sprouted grain English muffin, spread with a tofu or nut-based cream cheese, some sliced tomatoes, and topped off with sea salt or Trader Joe’s Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend.
2. Eat fruits that are high in fiber. Apples, bananas, oranges, berries ̶ the list goes on! You will still want to avoid sugary fruit juices, as well as very sweet fruits like pineapples and mangos while trying to lose weight. Fruit is always eaten alone with two exceptions: they can be added to a vegan smoothie and they can be eaten with a nut or seed butter. These healthy fats reduce the chance of a blood glucose spike.
3. Nothing white. To lower blood glucose, do not eat or combine animal proteins with any white potatoes, bread, rice, or pasta… EVER. Sorry!
4. Eat More Sweet Potatoes. Think wholesome, nutritious, responsibly grown, pancreatic-friendly foods (food that doesn’t raise your blood glucose) like sweet potatoes and yams, which are an incredibly nutritious carbohydrate that are low in sugar levels and provide fiber. They’re best consumed baked or steamed, but can also be cooked in a variety of other ways. A great lunch or dinner option (and it is inexpensive) is a baked sweet potato, split down the middle with a large spoonful of black beans, a tablespoon of tomatillo salsa, and a side salad. To lower blood sugar, eat them with veggies and plant-based protein together… NOT MEAT!
5. Try Fish. Give your body a break from animal protein. Red meats increase inflammation and provide poor sources of fat. However, if you crave protein, try fish! For those who aren’t allergic, fish is a fantastic source of protein that’s low in carbohydrates and contains high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, one of the few consumable healthy fats! If consuming fish raw, remember only sashimi-style – no white rice! To lower blood sugar, combine fish with veggies, not starches or fruit.

Bimble is a great tasting, all natural, preservative-free, sparkling beverage, containing 25mg of THC-free, broad spectrum hemp extract. A nod to the founder’s beekeeping practice, Bimble is made with a touch of sustainably sourced, Vermont honey, which helps to balance out the hemp. Additionally, at 25mg of hemp extract per serving, Bimble contains more cannabinoids than many other drinks on the market so you actually feel a difference and contains CBN, considered the most relaxing cannabinoid.
Jay Moskowitz, Bimble’s founder, left his high-pressure career on Wall Street to become a beekeeper in Vermont which led him to create this sophisticated and thoughtful CBD beverage that provides a safer remedy to life’s stressors, while supporting the vital beekeeping community which he is a part of and helps power Bimble.
Bimble is available in two different flavors: Grapefruit Basil Mint and Blueberry Lemon Ginger. Its SRP is $5.99 per 12 oz. bottle and also comes in packs of six for $39.99 and 12 packs for $74.99. Bimble can be found in select retailers and is available nationally at drinkbimble.com, to be delivered straight to your door!

If you are looking for pantry staples that will satisfy just about the every family member, the Mighty Sesame Co. and Wissotzky Tea come to the rescue. Both brands have stepped up to the “ho-hum” plate with shelf-stable products you can use to add variety and versatility to your daily routine.
Consider today’s tahini trend. At a time when hummus is the new “it” food – seriously, who could have predicted a Snickerdoodle hummus revolution? – consumers are excited about tahini, the smooth sesame paste that’s so essential to traditional Middle Eastern hummus.
The healthy-minded people at Mighty Sesame Co. know a thing or two about tahini. In a recent taste test of 18 tahini brands on the market, no less an authority than Epicurious anointed Mighty Sesame Tahini The Best Tahini You Can Buy. They praised the clean, delicious taste and smooth texture that make it “a great tahini to use for anything and everything,” and applauded the no-stir convenience of the squeeze bottle.
So, think of Mighty Sesame Tahini as a game-changer for sandwiches, marinades, dips, baked goods, desserts, salads, and even cocktails. Use it in soups or drizzle it over meat and fish. Why not start a hummus revolution of your own? Just let your imagination take the reins. (MSRP $_5.99_per 10.9 oz. bottle.)
Mighty Sesame has also made a splash for snackers with three varieties of all-natural tahini bars – Pistachio, Cocoa Nibs, and Vanilla – each at only 100 calories per bar. Like their squeezable cousins, these addictive grab-and-go treats promise a premium-quality product that is gluten- and dairy-free, vegan, kosher, halal, non-GMO, 100% guilt-free, and delicious. It all adds up to a healthy and exciting change of pace for the back-to-school days ahead. (MSRP: $3.99 per box of 6 individually wrapped 0.63 oz. bars.)
Face it: tea is an elixir for the blues and good times alike. Nothing says ‘cozy’ like a good cup of hot tea. And nothing says ‘summer’ like a tall glass of sweet tea with plenty of ice. Wissotzky Tea Company has dozens of varieties of teas to satisfy any mood on every occasion. Its Artisan Spiced Tea collection artfully pairs hand-selected premium black tea leaves with market spices, herbs, and other natural ingredients. Serve Salted Caramel Chai, Ginger and Turmeric, Spiced Nana Mint, Pumpkin Spiced Chai – or any of Wissotzky’s premium teas and infusions – hot or iced. Now you can indulge in a trip around the world without leaving home. (MSRP $3.99 Nana Mint; $4.99 Chai)
Mighty Sesame brand products and Wissotzky teas are distributed by Kayco, the top purveyor of kosher foods in America. They are available at Whole Foods, Publix, Walmart, supermarkets and independent and kosher food stores across the U.S. and on AMAZON.

Denver-based Purveyor of Raw, Single-Origin Honey Launches Website
Denver, CO – Denver-based startup Bee K’onscious Artisanal Honey is now offering its nutritious raw honey online at https://bkshoney.com/. Each jar of Bee K’onscious’s single-origin honey is sourced from the finest beekeepers around the world, with a QR-coded label that allows customers to scan and trace the honey to the single beekeeper who produced it. The “hive to home” honey brand has partnered with TagOne, a provider of blockchain technology, to provide customers the ability to ensure the source of the jar is producing 100% pure, unfiltered, unpasteurized, non-blended honey.
“Many people enjoy high quality honey, not only as an alternative sweetener, but for its natural antibacterial qualities and disease-fighting antioxidants. What consumers don’t know is that many mass-produced supermarket honeys are cooked and, thereby, lose their nutritional value,” says Bee K’onscious owner Matt Kollmorgen. “Every jar of Bee K’onscious is raw, unadulterated and uncooked and retains all the good stuff your body needs to fight disease.”
Bee K’onscious currently offers four varietals: Brazilian Cipo Uva, Brazilian Marmeleiro Prateado, Montana Clover and a much sought-after California Sage. The selection of unique honeys will continue to expand as the Bee K’onscious team continues to search the globe for beekeepers that have integrated best practices. Bee K’onscious Artisanal Honey retails for $18 per jar.
Bee K’onscious only partners with beekeepers that maintain ethical and sustainable beekeeping practices. The company is also committed to packaging their honey in glass jars and shipping to customers using only recyclable, corrugated packaging.
PROBUCHA™ is a lightly carbonated probiotic drink, naturally flavored with meyer lemon and ginger that not only tastes great but can help in digestion. While PROBUCHA™ is designed in the style of Kombucha, its probiotic benefits are derived from a single ingredient called Bacillus subtilis. This makes it safe to store at room temperature, allowing consumers to save their much-needed fridge space and buy in larger quantities.
“We are delighted to be launching PROBUCHA™ online and in stores nationwide,” said Neuro Brands CEO Diana Jenkins in a statement. “PROBUCHA™ is an amazing addition to our growing line of drinks, each meeting a unique need for our customers. PROBUCHA™ is a truly unique product that was formulated to give our customers a wonderful aid to their digestive health while actually tasting great. We are truly thrilled to bring one of the only few shelf-stable live probiotic drinks to the market, especially for those individuals who desire better digestive health but don’t want a traditional kombucha beverage.
Each ingredient in PROBUCHA™ plays a role in restoring, rebuilding or promoting better digestive function. Ginger, curcumin, a hefty amount of apple cider vinegar (1 tbsp per bottle), fermented kombucha tea and the shelf-stable live probiotic Bacillus subtillus, clinically studied for its beneficial effects upon the digestive system. Kombucha serves as a helpful prebiotic ingredient in PROBUCHA™, giving PROBUCHA™ both a prebiotic and probiotic ingredient combination.
neuro® has become a favorite go-to beverage choice of pop culture’s elite, with the entire line specially formulated with the highest quality ingredients from sustainable sources. neuro® drinks meet the diverse needs of consumers as a vegan, gluten-free, certified kosher and low-calorie option. PROBUCHA™ joins the colorful array of drinks with a purpose: SONIC™, to increase attention and boost energy; BLISS™, to reduce stress; SLEEP™, to relax and create a better sleep; GASM™, to increase drive and stamina; TRIM™, to improve digestion and control appetite; and AQUA™, for premium hydration.
