ONE-DAY MEDICAL SCHOOL IS HONORED TO HAVE THESE EXCEPTIONAL PARTNERS

I never had a single warning sign. I’d suddenly awake from a deep sleep in the middle of the night, the muscles in my right or left calf tensed up and knotted in excruciating pain. There was no telling when one of these muscle spasms would strike. After an episode, (sometimes it would last about 10 minutes), I’d often toss and turn until the morning, which would wipe me out for the rest of the day.
Nighttime leg crampsare more common as we age.
If you’re still reading, chances are you’re one of the 50 percent of American adults who get nighttime leg cramps, which are more common as we age, according to American Family Physician. And, these debilitating muscle spasms affect more women! An exclusive faboverfifty.com survey of 310 women in its community revealed that a whopping 98 percent of them experience leg or foot cramps!
So, what causes these pesky muscle cramps? According to the Mayo Clinic, cramps are associated with aging, diet, dehydration, too much exercise, or not enough exercise, poor blood circulation, or simply holding a position for a prolonged period. Dr. Drew Pinsky has said that “Muscle cramps can be among the side effects from certain medications that treat issues such as high blood pressure and cholesterol, asthma and osteoporosis,” But the exact cause of most leg cramps is simply unknown!(more…)
Sherry “got” the benefits of drinking totally fresh fruit and vegetable juices, but had as much interest in juicing as she did in ironing. And, a glass of fresh juice from a local juice shop cost $8. When she heard about “superfood powders” that she could simply mix into water, she wanted to give them a try. Now she’s hooked!
“I feel a burst of energy within minutes that stays with me for hours,” Sherry said enthusiastically of the juice she whips up in minutes with Organifi Red Juice superfood powder. Besides making her feel more energetic, the juice has acai to lower stress, pomegranate to improve cardiovascular health, and cordyceps, an essential fungus to burn fat so Sherry doesn’t have to go crazy in the gym. “It tastes smooth and delicious, too,” she added.
The Benefits of Juicing, Minus The Hassle
Created by Drew Canole, one of the original YouTube influencers in the area of healthy eating, Organifi superfood powders have attracted millions of fans since they were introduced a few years ago. “People understand the power of whole foods and juicing as medicine to improve health,” Drew stressed. Organifi powders take the challenge out of juicing, from buying high-quality ingredients to chopping and cleanup, but provide the benefits we want, including weight loss, increased energy, better sleep, and decreased stress.
A top seller, Organifi Green Juice is made from powerful, dark leafy greens to help our bodies cope with daily external and internal stresses, and normalize our biological processes. Ashwagandha, one of the key ingredients in Green Juice, is a plant used in herbal medicine that is believed to improve thinking ability, decrease pain and inflammation, and reduce the effects of aging. Other ingredients include mint, beets, turmeric, and coconut water.
Like the Green Juice powder, the other superfood powders in the Organifi line are created to address specific goals its customers want to reach–from more energy to sounder sleep. Organifi extensively researches which key natural ingredients from plants have been clinically proven to help solve our objectives. Organifi then works with vendors who formulate the appropriate powder from certified organic ingredients. Besides its effectiveness, each new powder tastes great.
Organifi Gold is packed with soothing herbs, sleep-enhancing phytonutrients and antioxidants to boost immunity and help you sleep deeply, so you wake refreshed and rejuvenated. It includes turmeric, ginger and reishi mushroom to fight inflammation, soothe aches, ward off colds and flus, and aid digestion. It’s good for you, whether you’re an athlete or an active grandmother. Organifi Gold can be mixed with a glass of warm water or milk, and sipped in the evening to maximize its calming effects.
Organifi Complete Protein All-in-One Shake, in vanilla flavor, is a high-protein drink that can substitute for one or two meals a day. It includes pumpkin protein, which can help strengthen bones, teeth and even your heart; quinoa protein to combat inflammation; pea protein, which can help repair your cells and give you stronger, firmer skin, and plant-based digestive enzymes to help your body break down and absorb nutrients.
Set Out On Your Juicing Journey Today
Organifi superfood powders will kickstart your motivation to make positive mental, spiritual and nutritional changes in your life. “I get to wake up every single day and transform someone’s life,” Drew said. “We’ve transformed thousands of people. You, too, can start your true life transformation.”
Organifi is sold in about 1,500 stores, including Vitamin Shoppe, at heath events, and online. Confident that its superfood powders will help change your life, it offers a 60-day money back guarantee. No questions asked.
Whenever Shelley even glances at the supplement aisle at her local chain drugstore, the options overwhelm her. “It seems like I read a new article every week about the latest and greatest supplement, and why a product that was hot three months ago has become a no-no. I absolutely need supplements now that I’m in menopause, but I have no idea which ones to buy. It’s frustrating and upsetting!” Shelley said.
Shelley, and millions of other women, will be delighted to learn that a store we’ve known for years aims to become the go-to destination for superior health, wellness and beauty products for women 45+. When our backs were turned, GNC woke up and recognized that we’re a pretty darn important community of ladies! Firmly established as the leading resource for sports and fitness supplements, GNC is now determined to help boomer women feel and look the best we can, without a bit of frustration. “Lots of physiological changes take place in a woman’s body starting in perimenopause and then leading into menopause,” said Guru Ramanathan, Chief Innovation Officer, who has been with GNC for two decades. “It’s an important phase in the life of a woman, and we want to be there for her.”
Walk into a GNC today and you’ll see, front and center, four major sections of Women’s Health and Beauty products to help support your nutrition and health goals during perimenopause and menopause. You’ll find supplements for heart health to hormone balance; for bone health to digestion support; for eye health to urinary tract health. GNC also offers us an impressive selection of products for our skin, hair, and nails!
No doubt, it’s a big challenge to win over smart and demanding women, but 82-year-old GNC is putting its money where its mouth is! Besides greatly expanding its selection of nutritional supplements and other merchandise women need, it’s committing major resources for research and development to create top-quality products for us. It’s also vigorously training employees, and offering exclusive online tools so we have the essential knowledge to buy the most effective products for each of our unique needs! GNC knows that knowledge is powerful to women.
Guru and his teams of scientists and product innovators constantly stay on top of developments in healthy aging, travel the world to find unparalleled raw materials, work tirelessly to develop the very best dietary supplements, and put many of them through clinical studies with real women to make certain they meet GNC’s stringent performance standards. “A lot of people shop only for price and don’t really understand there’s a definite difference in product quality between a big bottle of fish oil supplements for $5, and GNC fish oil, which properly supports healthy cholesterol levels, as well as joint, skin and brain health,” Guru explains.
“You should have the best, which is what we’re selling. After all, you’re ingesting these products,” said Ken Martindale, who joined GNC as chief executive officer after running Rite Aid for four years. “I decided to make the move because I was fascinated by the scope and quality of GNC’s products and the science and innovation behind them. We’re selling products that matter in people’s lives, and we’re focused on customers who want to put the highest-quality products into their bodies,” Ken emphasized.
And, you won’t have to fend for yourself. Ask someone on the floor of a GNC store to explain what’s the big deal about probiotics, and they’ll give you the correct answer right off the bat (probiotics provide digestive and immune support), and help you pick out the most suitable probiotic for your lifestyle goals. Want to know which multivitamin will best support your bone health? Yep, they’ll know that too. GNC employees are educated about different topics each week on their own tablets, and they even get quizzes to test their knowledge. Whether you visit a GNC in New York or one in New Mexico, you’ll be sure to get consistent information.
Just as GNC helps us deal with our health concerns and objectives when we walk into its stores, it wants to do the same in the digital space. An ingenious tool recently launched on its website lets us enter our goals and learn which probiotics, proteins, and minerals are recommended. “We must be far more than just an ecommerce site, and intend to position ourselves as an expert in the supplement category online,” Ken stressed.
GNC recently launched an Auto Deliver & Save Program, ensuring that your favorite products are automatically shipped for free right to your door, whenever you want. You’ll also get 10% off every order once you sign up for the convenient service.
A Gift Of Health
GNC is so excited to show us how much it cares about our health and wellbeing, it wants us to have one of its best-in-class supplements—valued up to $60—as a gift with any $40 purchase online or in store. No matter which one you choose, you’ll be on your way to a HEALTHIER YOU!
I’ll always remember my brief love affair with an electric juicer. It was handsome and strong, and I couldn’t wait to take it home to introduce it to heaps of fresh fruits and vegetables so they could make beautiful, nutrient-rich drinks for me. The beverages were scrumptious, and I knew I was doing good things for my body. But alas, the juicer was high maintenance. It was a hassle to clean, and it cost a small fortune to keep feeding it superfoods like broccoli and goji berries.
The affair ended. I sent the juicer packing. But ever since I’ve craved the sustenance that pure, fresh juices give me. You can’t find them on the supermarket shelf, and when I saunter up to a juicing stand to satisfy my longing, it sets me back a pretty penny. The ‘Starstruck’ at the local juice shop, a blend of apple, lemon, ginger and cayenne, is $8!
When the folks at Organifi called to ask if I’d try their “gently dried superfood powders,” of course I was game. Before I tell you how and why they were created, and what’s in them, let me get right to the essential points: The juice is a cinch to make (I add a scoop of the powder and eight ounces of cold sparkling water to my Vitamix, blend it for five seconds, and pour the drink into the glass.) It goes down easily and tastes delicious. I swear I feel a burst of energy within minutes, and it stays with me for hours. Trust me. I’m a high-energy person in the first place but I’m even more energetic after drinking one of the juices I’ve prepared with Organifi “superfood powder.”
Drew Canole
Meet The Muse Of Juice
The seeds of Organifi superfood powders were planted about seven years ago by Drew Canole, one of the original YouTube influencers in the area of healthy eating. The young head of a successful debt settlement company in Tampa, FL, at the time, Drew remembers looking in the mirror and “wanting something more.” Forty pounds overweight, he was subsisting on what he called “the sad diet” of processed foods.
After accepting an employee’s invitation to try a green liquid that looked like “swamp water,” Drew experienced a long-lasting infusion of energy. “It wasn’t a quick rush that you’d get from coffee, and there was no crash,” Drew recalled. Without hesitating, he bought a juicer and took the first step of a juicing journey that would transform his life, personally and professionally.
Moving to San Diego from Tampa, Drew began posting mini videos on YouTube and Facebook to document his experiences, and created a visual transformation program around juicing for weight loss. “It was the dawn of the juicing trend, and Drew was attracting an audience that was burned out from trying one commercial diet after another, and tired of broken promises from marketing companies. People were starting to understand the power of whole foods and juicing as medicine to improve health,” explained Mae Steigler, who became employee #1 at fitlife.tv, Drew’s content marketing brand. “People were looking for real long-term solutions to change their mindset from fixing their bodies to working with their bodies to create the results they knew were possible,” added Mae, who was working in personal training and nutrition when she met the emerging juicing guru.
Since then, Drew’s Facebook following has grown to over 4 million, and 65 employees now work at the company. “Drew wasn’t just talking for marketing and promotion purposes. He was living his program, and it was compelling and attractive,” Mae said. Over the last seven years, the company learned something else: Juicing is challenging for many. It requires having access to and buying high-quality ingredients, not to mention a juicer. Besides the shopping, there’s lots of other work, from the chopping to the cleanup. “The lifestyle around juicing isn’t that easy for everyone to achieve,” Mae stressed. “Our customers would tell us they wanted to do our programs, but didn’t have the time or the money to juice.” Take my brief love affair with juicing, for example!
The Benefits of Juicing, Minus The Hassle
Organifi Green Juice includes beets and mint. It’s yummy!
Always striving to make transformation easier for their customers, Drew and his team decided in 2014 to start producing physical product that would remove the challenge from juicing, as well as provide the benefits consumers wanted, including weight loss, increased energy, better sleep, and decreased stress. The first product, Organifi Green Juice, is a top seller today. A gently-dried superfood powder made from powerful, dark leafy greens, it helps the body cope with daily external and internal stresses, and normalize its biological processes. Ashwagandha, one of the key ingredients in Organifi Green Juice, is a plant used in herbal medicine that is believed to improve thinking ability, decrease pain and inflammation, and reduce the effects of aging. Other ingredients include mint, beets, turmeric, and coconut water.
Like the Green Juice powder, the other superfood powders in the Organifi line are created to address specific goals its customers want to reach–from more energy to sounder sleep–which the company calls “pain points,” Mae explained. After identifying a pain point, Organifi extensively researches which key natural ingredients from plants have been clinically proven to help solve it. Organifi then works with vendors who formulate the appropriate powder from certified organic ingredients. Besides its effectiveness, each new powder must taste great, Mae said. “We sometimes taste test for a year,” she added. Once the two criteria are met, the powder can simply be mixed with water, or another liquid, to conveniently provide all essential nutrients.
Organifi Red Juice includes pomegranate
Organifi Red Juice superfood powder is used to ignite metabolism and provide energy, as well as revitalize skin cells. Ingredients include acai, which has 10 times the antioxidants of most fruits, to lower muscle stress; pomegranate to improve cardiovascular health, and cordyceps, an essential fungus to burn fat without having to go crazy in the gym.
Organifi Gold is packed with soothing herbs, sleep-enhancing phytonutrients and antioxidants to boost immunity and help you sleep deeply, so you wake refreshed and rejuvenated. It includes turmeric, ginger and reishi mushroom to fight inflammation, soothe aches, ward off colds and flus, and aid digestion. “It’s good for you, whether you’re an athlete or an active grandmother,” Mae noted. Organifi Gold can be mixed with a glass of warm water or milk, and sipped in the evening to maximize its calming effects.
Organifi Complete Protein All-in-One Shake, in vanilla flavor, is a high-protein drink that can substitute for one or two meals a day. It includes pumpkin protein, which can help strengthen bones, teeth and even your heart; quinoa protein to combat inflammation; pea protein, which can help repair your cells and give you stronger, firmer skin, and plant-based digestive enzymes to help your body break down and absorb nutrients.
Consider two of the thousands of rave reviews on the Organifi website:
“I was tired and not sleeping through the night. I was on Facebook and watched a video of this hot guy talking about Greens & Reds. Peaked my interest and I ordered. I am now in the middle of my second month and I have more energy. I’m happy, I’ve lost weight and I sleep through the night thanks to my Gold. I posted a video online about my experience with these products and more than 10 of my friends have placed orders and are very happy. Try it, you won’t regret it,” wrote Myra A.
“Green Juice is truly the most amazing drink! I highly recommend it to all my friends and family. For my employment we are required to do a panel of wellness tests. Every one of my tests came back in the normal range, I’m 66 years old, I take no medications, only taking Organifi Green Juice. That says it all,” commented Vivian R.
Set Out On Your Juicing Journey Today
While it’s easy to add Organifi superfood powders to your daily routine, it’s not a “magic bullet” for someone who is sedentary and on a horrible diet, Mae stressed. “It’s most effective for anyone who is ready to make lifestyle changes. It kickstarts the motivation. But, don’t be impatient. Consider how long it took you to get to where you are. Use Organifi for 30 days and be focused on the positive changes you’re going to feel, from mental, spiritual and nutritional perspectives,” she recommended.
“I get to wake up every single day and transform someone’s life,” Drew said in one of his online videos. “We’ve transformed thousands of people, but the most important person I’ve transformed was myself. You, too, can shift your mindset and start your true life transformation.”
Organifi is sold in about 1,500 stores, including Vitamin Shoppe, at heath events, and online. Confident that its superfood powders will help change your life, it offers a 60-day money back guarantee. No questions asked.

Here are some details on each to help you choose:
PROBIOTICS
GNC probiotics provide digestive and immune support. Backed by extensive research from more than 10 published studies—and guaranteed potent through the expiration date without refrigeration—the benefits of GNC probiotics range from supporting your quality of life to satisfaction with bowel habit.
FISH OIL
GNC Triple Strength Fish Oil can supply a key source of Omega-3 fatty acids in just one easy-to-swallow softgel a day. These omegas are associated with a wide range of health benefits, including support for healthy cholesterol levels as well as joint, skin and brain health. You’d have to eat four to six meals of fatty fish each week to meet the 500-1,000 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids recommended by health organizations.
MULTIVITAMINS
Dietary surveys show that many Americans may not take in an adequate amount of several vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that are essential to good health. The latest scientific research suggests that all adults can benefit from taking a multivitamin daily in conjunction with a healthy diet. GNC’s Mega Men® One Daily and Women’s Ultra Mega® One Daily deliver vitamins and minerals at their 100% daily value or more and include 39 important nutrients essential for overall wellness.

FabOverFifty is pleased to have a partnership with Alma Lasers, a global innovator of laser, light-based, radio frequency and ultrasound devices for face and body contouring, feminine health, hair and tattoo removal, acne scars, skin resurfacing, wrinkles, psoriasis, and more.

That means less sagging and less pronounced lines and wrinkles. There’s also minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Do you feel the latest skin care laser technology will surpass plastic surgery?
Absolutely! The adage “Beauty is Pain” is no longer relevant when it comes to laser technology. You can tighten and contour your face and body without having invasive surgery. You won’t miss weeks of work and you won’t experience pain.
