Lindsay Allen is a certified and experienced registered dietician coach. She helps people achieve their fitness goal with her nutrition coaching program.
Lifestyle choices, busy schedules, genetic influences, and dietary habits can bring about health problems. Often, despite following strict diet schedules and exercising regularly people might not be able to achieve their fitness goals. This is when some turn to professional help in the form of nutritional coaching. However, there are too many dieticians out there, many claiming to be the experts. For someone who hasn’t tried professional dieticians or coaches before, the abundance of online reviews, personal references, and the advertising buzz on social media platforms can be overwhelming. However, with a bit of groundwork, identifying the real specialists in this domain can get easier. It is better to seek the services of a Registered Dietician Coach—Lindsay Allen is one such professional, an RDN [Registered Dietitian Nutritionist], she has been helping people overcome their toughest dietary or fitness challenges.
Many personal health trackers and diet-planning apps are easily available, driven by AI and Big Data. Some people might believe that a digital ecosystem is the best fit for their wellness challenges. However, many digital experiences don’t provide the insight or personalization that a personal nutritionist can deliver. There can be a lot of data standardization in these digital tools without the human touch, leaving people frustrated, and without a clear answer. In contrast, visiting a personal nutritionist regularly can be difficult for some. Lindsay Allen provides the perfect blend, borrowing industry best practices from in-person wellness coaching and data-driven dieting apps. She provides a holistic coaching experience that includes monitoring, consultation, problem-solving, meal customization, extended support, and result tracking—delivered virtually.
Registered Dietitians do a lot more than provide consultation about making the right food choices. These are trained experts who can provide a scientific approach to solve any nutritional challenge. Their approach can be more clinical. Such nutritional coaches have established credentials, such as authorization from the Commission on Dietetic Registration of the American Dietetic Association [cdrnet.org]. Most likely to possess a bachelor’s degree in the field of nutrition and food science, such professionals undergo a structured examination system, and many are well networked in the health and wellness industry. A Registered Dietician like Lindsay Allen [Master of Science, Clinical Nutrition, New York University] has the academic & professional experience to provide professionally conducted nutritional coaching, with specializations such as PCOS nutrition coaching.
“I couldn’t believe it when she told me, but my life has changed and it’s only the beginning. I am so happy I have gotten to meet her and get to call her my friend. And the best part is…HER RECIPES ARE TO DIE FOR! Change your life and fall in love with food again!” Kaylynn
Following a static approach for dietary coaching might not bring about the desired outcomes because nutritional challenges can be unique. From emotional or stress eating to giving into sugar cravings, lack of meal planning, excessive snacking, eating out frequently, or an unsupportive environment that puts down the initiative to eat healthily, everybody has specific challenges. Lindsay Allen, LD [Licensed Dietitian] provides a personalized program that helps people achieve the body and health of their dreams. Her focus is on making wellness a happier journey and not a one-time goal where people should be able to eat happily without feeling deprived or burning themselves out in the gym. Unlike some nutritional programs that track every calorie consumed, Lindsay provides nutrition coaching that gets embedded in the daily schedule and is easier to sustain for a longer period. She can help people in healing, recover, and get fitter by using different diet plans. She helps people find the real meaning of food labels, plant-based nutrition, vegan trends, alternative proteins, mindful eating, famous diets, and exercising.

The Houstonian Club’s registered dietitian shares ideas on fueling your child with nutritious food while making it easy, worry-free, and healthy.
A fun and safe school day starts with adequate nutrition, and it is that time of year when parents are combing the internet for the easiest way to make that happen for their children. Although it might be easier to have your child eat lunch at school, packing a meal puts you entirely in control of what your child is eating and is an opportunity to create lifelong healthy habits. According to the Journal of Nutrition and Education, establishing healthy eating habits in the early years impacts a person’s food choices later in life.
“As a parent, your child’s nutrition lies in your hands. It is vitally important that children are given the proper nutritional tools to succeed in their day at school,” says Denise Hernandez, M.S., R.D., L.D. of The Houstonian Club. “Your child may appreciate the cookies and chips you put into their lunch, but it is the fruit, veggies, and protein that are going to give them fuel to learn each day.”
Hernandez shares five easy tips to make eating healthy for school easy and fun.
BREAKFAST. The most important meal of the day, indeed. While 90% of us know this, only 49% consistently eat breakfast. If your child lacks an appetite so early in the morning, be sure to give them a nutrient-packed breakfast. A slice of whole-grain toast with 2 tbsp of almond butter is an excellent example of an easy but satiating breakfast.
COLLABORATE. Preparing your child’s lunch can be frustrating if they do not like your choices. Have them participate in putting their lunches together, even shopping for their healthy choices at the grocery store. Being involved in the process increases the likelihood of them eating their meals and gives them a sense of accomplishment.
PLAN AHEAD. If making your child’s lunch is challenging on some days, help them pick the healthiest option from their school’s lunch menu. If a menu is not sent home with your child, you can usually download a copy from the school district’s website.
[FOOD] SAFETY FIRST. Be sure to use an insulated lunch bag to pack your child’s lunch. If they can refrigerate their lunch at school, remind them to open the bag since insulation works both ways.
AFTER SCHOOL. If your child is involved in after-school activities, don’t forget to pack a snack to hold them over until dinner. Most parents forget this snack, giving a child no choice but to buy snacks from the vending machine.

New Research Highlighted at the International Society of Sports Nutrition Supports the Function of a Novel Kyowa Hakko Paraprobiotic for High Intensity Training
Kyowa Hakko showcased the latest branded ingredient innovations including IMMUSE™ Lactococcus lactis strain Plasma and EYEMUSE™ Lacticaseibacillus paracasei KW3110.
Kyowa Hakko, an international health ingredients manufacturer and world leader in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and food products recently participated in the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) Conference. ISSN is the only non-profit academic society dedicated to promoting the science and application of evidence-based sports nutrition and supplementation. The ISSN is the world’s leader in providing science-based sports nutrition and supplement information. Dr. Shintaro Ichikawa, Director of Technical Affairs at Kyowa Hakko USA, led the development and product launch of IMMUSE™, Lactococcus lactis strain plasma (LC-Plasma), in Japan and recently presented the topic “Immunological approach to reduce URTI symptoms in high intensity training: the function of paraprobiotics” during the ISSN Conference. IMMUSE™, discovered by Kirin Holding Company Limited, a pioneer in fermentation technology and parent company to Kyowa Hakko Bio, acts uniquely by activating plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC). pDC, a key leader of the immune system, has been shown to activate pivotal cells such as NK, Killer-T, Helper-T, and B cells, providing more comprehensive immune support.
Dr. Ichikawa explains, “It is well known that prolonged high intensity exercise decreases immune function and increases the risk of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI). It is a serious problem for athletes because not only are URTIs unpleasant, they will also reduce training efficiency.”
According to Dr. Shintaro, “There is emerging evidence that has shown oral intake of LC- Plasma activates pDC and provides immune support . This novel approach to enhance the immune system may improve the experience of continuous high intensity training.”
Validated by eleven human clinical studies consisting of nine efficacy studies and two safety studies, IMMUSE™ is a science-based ingredient that functions to get the immune system ready, supporting year-round health when taken regularly.* A series of safety data including in vitro, in vivo and in human have been collected. Deemed stable in a wide variety of applications including tablets, capsules and gummy formulations, IMMUSE™ is an innovative dietary supplement ingredient delivering a breakthrough approach for immune health.
Kyowa Hakko’s newest clinically-researched eye health ingredient, EYEMUSE™, debuted at ISSN. The first heat-treated paraprobiotic, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei KW3110, that has shown to promote healthy eye function.* Discovered by Kyowa Hakko’s parent-company Kirin Holding Company Limited, EYEMUSE™ stimulates the immune cells that produce regulatory cytokines such as IL-10 to support eye health.* By helping the regulatory cytokine induction and supporting a balanced immune response, EYEMUSE™ may help reduce digital stress related eye fatigue and other ocular discomforts.*
The Perfect Nutrition, a website dedicated to providing customers with truly natural supplements, recently announced that they would be opening their online marketplace to 8 more brands.
The Perfect Nutrition, a website dedicated to providing customers with truly natural supplements, recently announced that they would be opening their online marketplace to 8 more brands.
This announcement came in the wake of the large increase in demand for natural ingredients in household products and health supplements. The website was known for it’s keen insight into the use of seaweed as a supplement, but has since opened up it’s doors to many more brands that fit the company’s mission of providing safe, tested and effective natural products to it’s customers.
The companies owner, Zeth Owen, said “We really had no intention of expanding to other brands since we’re so passionate about the uses of seaweed for health, but with the large increase in consumer purchases online and the flurry of email inquires we’ve received, it only makes sense to give our customer’s an easy way of getting the products they love.”
Additionally, Zeth goes on to say “we work really close with a parent company named Ariix (recently know as NewAge by Ariix) to source the highest quality wellness products on the planet.”
Now although the popular products found at The Perfect Nutrition are not exclusively sold there, the trusted company attracts buyers who are looking for a safe and reliable source to purchase from.
The new supplement line added to the company is already being embraced by people online.
About The Perfect Nutrition
The Perfect Nutrition is an online marketplace for individuals who prefer clean and natural ingredients for their health and wellness products. They work exclusively with the Ariix brand of products, offering free shipping and discounts not available anywhere else.
Nutrition City Online, a leading online retailer of vitamins and specialty supplements, now offers Delta-8 products online and at retail stores in Minnesota. These products are federally legal and available for shipment to all states that have not explicitly banned them. States that do not allow recreational or medical cannabis products may still allow Delta-8 products.
As a compound derived from hemp, Delta-8 THC or “THC 8” does not fall under federal guidelines for marijuana and THC. The 2018 Farm Bill legalized most hemp products, paving the way for Delta-8 products. These products are closely related to THC 9, the primary psychoactive ingredient in traditional cannabis products, and produce a similar medicinal and recreational experience.
Users describe the effects of Delta-8 as relaxing and with fewer negative side-effects, like anxiety and confusion, than traditional cannabis products. The calming “high” has been lauded by users as beneficial in reducing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and insomnia, while others simply enjoy the relaxation these products can produce.
Nutrition City Online offers a wide-variety of quality Delta-8 products, including edibles, flowers, oils, tinctures, and topicals. Flowers and oils are sourced from Colorado and Nutrition City offers the strongest tinctures available, up to 500mg/oz. They pride themselves on offering the highest quality products locally available to the Minneapolis area. They also offer free samples in-store so that their clients can ensure that the products work well.
Consumers from areas outside of the Minneapolis St. Paul region can order Delta-8 products through the Nutrition City Online store for shipment throughout the continental United States.

Rapid Nutrition PLC (SWX:RAP)(OTCQB:RPNRF), a natural wellness company focused on organic wholefood-based nutrition and science-based herbal products, announced the following trading update ahead of the publication of its Annual Financial Report for the period ended 31 December 2020.
Evolving to meet growing consumer demand for health-focused and immunity-boosting products during the global pandemic, Rapid Nutrition’s positioning in the health and wellness life science sector was beneficial.
2020 Financial Highlights Financial highlights for the period to date include:
Revenue for FY2020 is anticipated to be in line with expectations where the company has seen its flagship brand flourish in the past year with meaningful interest in health and immunity.
Gross margin is expected to remain steady compared to FY2019 as a result of continued focus on supply chain optimization.
Profit for the period is expected to be lower compared to FY2019, due to new distribution agreements secured during the period requiring initial marketing support resulting in increased expenses incurred for the period.
Continued growth anticipated for this year as the company progresses its strategy of bringing to market innovative science-based organic products across multiple categories to anchor future earnings.
2020 Operational Highlights Noteworthy annual highlights for Rapid Nutrition for the period in review include:
Further expansion of the company’s global distribution with new partnerships in Brazil, France, Italy, Switzerland, Jamaica and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). In particular, a new partnership with Cloud 9 Switzerland LLC will support widespread distribution of flagship brand, SystemLS, as well as a new partnership with professional retail operator BFG Brazil Comercial de Vitaminas.
Notable growth through the company’s direct-to-consumer channels for its flagship brands, with its recent Amazon store addition, as more consumers seek organic health and wellness products and services. This model will be scaled throughout the UK and Europe in 2021.
Expansion of the company’s ecommerce channel and online partnerships worldwide as well as completion of a new corporate website.
Advanced preparations to launch an anti-viral prevention therapy (oral) designed to help relieve symptoms of cold and the flu, which was granted an Innovation Patent in 2016.
Awarded an Innovation Connections Grant from the Australian Government to support development of its cold and flu therapy. The company was also accepted into the touted Entrepreneurs Programme, which shares expert advice, funding and incentives to help businesses innovate, compete and grow.
The group incorporated Rapid Nutrition Science, which will host the intellectual property for the herbal anti-viral and focus on in-house development of cutting-edge natural science formulas. This will provide Rapid Nutrition PLC with an exclusive worldwide licensing deal in a category which is expected to witness substantial growth, with the global market for immune health supplements likely to exceed a valuation of US$25 billion, according to Persistence Market Research. The company also strengthened its management team with key hires with expertise in life sciences.
Bolstering the company’s balance sheet with recent institutional investment to provide greater capitalization for 2021, while at the same time the Company expects to write down the value of its investments in both Motivate Health Technologies Inc and Streamcast marketing LLC, both being difficult to assess in view of the continued Covid-19 environment, however in our opinion this had no impact on the underlying core business.
Management Commentary Despite a difficult year for retail and a wealth of uncertainty in global markets, Rapid Nutrition evolved with innovation and insight to deliver impressive year-end results for 2020, with an eye ahead towards 2021 expansion.
“With proof that we are able to not only survive but also thrive during unprecedented conditions, our team looks forward to further growth as health and wellness remain top of mind in 2021,” said Rapid Nutrition CEO Simon St. Ledger. “I am grateful to the strength and poise showcased by our team and board this year, which helped Rapid Nutrition grow and continue to look ahead during these challenging times.”
With a focus on delivering shareholder value and transparency, Rapid Nutrition’s leadership team and board of directors continue to focus on multi-channel delivery, intellectual property and global growth, chiefly in the cold and flu category and the rapidly growing vegan market. In the year to come, Rapid Nutrition will also extend marketing initiatives into retail stores as they continue to reopen while maintaining focus on its successful direct-to-consumer initiatives.
“2020 reminded everyone how important good health is to quality of life, and we are proud to be a trusted partner in delivering the best in health and wellness products. We know the best is yet to come,” St. Ledger added.
With continued expansion into key markets across the globe, the company anticipates organic growth through its organic products, spearheaded by science-driven product innovation in 2021 and beyond.
The Annual financial report will be published on the company’s website once available.
