Sifter Solutions and iQPay Join Forces to Build Healthy Eating Solutions
The Collaboration Expands Food as Medicine Through Unique, Scalable Solutions That Encourage Healthy Food Choices

Sifter Solutions, a nutrition technology provider, and iQPay, a FinTech company, have entered into a partnership that combines the guided spend technology of iQPay with Sifter's advanced Food as Medicine technology. This collaboration creates a new way for millions of Americans to access healthy foods.

Sifter and iQPay corporate clients will now be able to define unique approved product lists (APLs), then issue highly customized digital purchase cards that can be used to buy only pre-approved foods across iQPay’s network of national and local food retailers. The goal is to support food card programs that focus on healthier diets. The collaboration will enable client programs to now specify which grocery foods are covered, as well as purchase availability at participating retailers.

Together, Sifter and iQPay will deliver custom-guided spend programs to help manage chronic diseases, food allergies, and food insecurity while supporting a variety of lifestyle or religious choices through diet. 

For example:

  • Employer wellness programs providing healthy snacking cards, good for the purchase of pre-approved foods and beverages.
  • Health insurers assisting chronic disease patients with a monthly stipend to encourage diet adherence, leading to lower medical costs.
  • Government food security programs inviting food-industry sponsors to promote healthier food choices via additional spend in nutritious children’s cereals.  
  • Hospital registered dietitians creating medically tailored grocery lists that populate a guided spend card for use by patients upon discharge.
  • Consumer packaged goods companies sponsoring in-store QR codes connected to a short health questionnaire that generates a payment card good for the purchase of compatible foods.

"Sifter is excited to work with iQPay in offering medically tailored solutions that incentivize better food choices," said Andrew Parkinson, co-founder and CEO of Sifter. "The combined offering is powerful. For iQPay's guided spend programs, Sifter can build APLs that offer an unprecedented choice of grocery foods in all categories, extending healthy eating options beyond the produce aisle and into the frozen, packaged and convenience food sections."

“iQPay’s partnership with Sifter is critical for the evolution of Food as Medicine programs nationwide. With Sifter's data capabilities, we can now quickly launch and scale highly customized food programs at more than 50,000 locations nationally," stated Ken Erickson, iQPay CEO.

About Sifter Solutions: Sifter's nutrition technology bridges the gap between consumers' health priorities and grocery store foods. Designed for food retailers, health and insurance platforms, and food benefit providers, Sifter's Shop By Diet technology automates grocery product eligibility at the UPC level for unlimited combinations of diets, food preferences, and ingredient exclusions. Sifter's tech stack includes in-store scanning for wider product discovery, recipe customization by diet, and intelligent product curation based on food-assistance eligibility, cultural preferences, and medically accepted options. The full suite of Sifter solutions can be integrated into client platforms through flexible APIs or turnkey white-label implementation. For more information, visit SifterSolutions.com.

About iQPay: iQPay, an innovative FinTech company, is on a mission to remove the barriers that hinder compliance with a healthy lifestyle including education, access, and cost. iQPay works with employers, health plans, and other health advocates to educate and drive employees and members to low-cost retail providers. The iQPay platform can be used to drive compliance with health activities such as immunizations and biometric screenings, encourage healthy food choices, track ongoing management of at-risk members and deliver reward incentives in near real time.

“Hypno Challenge” is not just another reality show; it’s a game-changer.

What makes “Hypno Challenge” truly exceptional is its focus on real-life stories.

Through their transformative journeys, the show aims to inspire viewers to aim higher, shatter their limitations, and become the best version of themselves.

The show’s innovative format is another aspect that sets it apart from other reality series.

  • Patrick Kilpatrick – Co-producer, Casting Director: With over 170 films and television shows under his belt, Patrick Kilpatrick’s experience in the entertainment industry ensures that the show’s participants are carefully selected.

  • Gene Avakyan – Co-Producer: With 26 years of government and business experience, Gene Avakyan brings a wealth of knowledge to ensure the show’s success on all fronts. He is co-founder of VUGA Media Group, Gossip Stone TV and many other successful companies.

Beyond Hashtags:  Wellness Expert Launches New Solution for Women Seeking Menopause Relief
Adrien Cotton Offers Clarity with Scientifically Proven Strategies in Online Program


Adrien Cotton, Creator of MASTER Menopause NOW!

Wellness Expert Adrien Cotton created MASTER Menopause NOW! to support women suffering the rollercoaster of perimenopause and menopause.

Women experiencing weight gain, vaginal dryness, sleep disruption, hot flashes, depression, and increased anxiety may add confusion and overwhelm to their midlife discomfort. As many are turning to social media for menopause relief, they can quickly become flooded by the conflicting information and advice. On Instagram alone, there are over 1.5 million menopause hashtags. #Menopauserelief, #perimenopause, and #menopauseweightloss are also trending across platforms.

However, wellness expert Adrien Cotton offers clarity with scientifically proven, time-tested strategies in her new online program, MASTER Menopause NOW!.

Drawing on her decades of experience coaching women through midlife, as well as her own personal journey, Cotton's revolutionary program uses a holistic wellness approach to master Sleep, Stress Resilience, Calendar, Movement, and Food as Fuel – essential elements of midlife women's wellness.

"Because of my struggle, and after working with hundreds of women in midlife, I have dedicated myself to understanding what happens to women's bodies and how to optimize wellness during and beyond this pivotal time," says Cotton.

Using strategies to create small habit changes that result in lasting transformation, MASTER Menopause NOW! includes:

  • Five Modules with actionable tips for improving the most important areas of women's midlife health
  • Over sixty videos curated into short segments (most are less than eight minutes)
  • Workbooks, Reference Guide, and easy-to-follow planner for each module
  • Movement Toolbox consisting of ten short exercise videos to fit impactful movement into a busy day
  • Access to MASTER Menopause NOW! Exclusive Facebook Group with live Q&As

Cotton's method challenges conventional wisdom by focusing on strengthening the wellness foundation, rather than restrictive diets and exhausting exercise regimes that can leave women sleep-deprived and overstressed.

"Address these issues early!" advises Michaela Robinson, a small business owner who has participated in the course. "Maybe you're having some sleep disruptions, or recognize other little signs. Adrien's program provides the toolkit you need to to deal with the symptoms when they come in a more significant way."

Agency Guacamole Hosts Seventh B.L.N.D. Event in Los Angeles to Support DE&I in Professional Beauty/Lifestyle
Panel on Genderless Beauty Brought Together Top LA-Based Creators, Industry Pros and Media

Agency Guacamole, a Los Angeles-based communications firm supporting leading beauty and lifestyle brands, hosted its seventh Beauty, Lifestyle and Nurturing Diversity (B.L.N.D.) event on Oct. 25, 2023, in Los Angeles. This year's B.L.N.D. conversation was around gender diversity with the theme “Genderless Beauty – The Future is Now.”

"What a special evening!” said Bilal Kaiser, founder and principal at Agency Guacamole. “This year’s topic around Genderless Beauty gave each of our panelists the opportunity to share their perspectives and passion for the industry and bring new insights to those of us working in the beauty/lifestyle categories.

“Our seventh B.L.N.D. event was our biggest event to date, and I couldn’t be more proud,” he added.

This year’s B.L.N.D. panel was moderated by Kaiser and featured three panelists:

  • Frederic Chen, beauty and lifestyle content creator 
  • Gloria Noto, professional makeup artist and founder of beauty brand NOTO Botanics
  • Maebe A. Girl, drag queen and Treasurer and At-Large Representative for the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council

Each panelist brought a unique perspective on the genderless beauty movement and covered a multitude of topics under the genderless beauty umbrella, including authenticity, inclusive marketing and the future of gender in the beauty industry.

Numerous brand partners were involved in the event, including Urban Decay Cosmetics, Baxter of California and Suntory, and guests were invited to a make-their-own-gift-bag station featuring covetable beauty products from the event’s gifting sponsors. 

B.L.N.D. started in 2018 and has taken place in New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta and virtually since then. The goal of this annual initiative is to bring together key opinion leaders, industry executives, content creators and editors to talk about different themes around inclusivity.

"Our coast-to-coast experiences have brought together a community of amazing people who want to do and learn more,” added Kaiser. “After this year’s event, the feedback from our audience is even clearer that more conversations around DE&I are needed in the beauty and lifestyle categories — and we are up to the challenge. Just wait until you hear what we’re cooking up for B.L.N.D. in 2024.”

Woman-Owned VIM & VIGR Celebrates Tenth Anniversary With Record Growth in Sales and Compression Sock Market

VIM & VIGR, maker of stylish and comfortable compression socks for all walks of life, celebrates a decade in business with record growth in 2023.

Launched with a single style of compression socks in 2013, VIM & VIGR has grown to include dozens of styles, three compression levels, four custom fabric blends, and over 1,300 retailers worldwide. In 2023, the brand had its best year on record with revenue doubling from 2021. Year-over-year top-line revenue grew by almost 60% with the bottom-line exceeding 200% growth while maintaining high quality and style. 

“10 years ago, I took a leap of faith launching VIM & VIGR by bootstrapping our order for 10,000 pairs of compression socks in our first production run,” said Michelle Huie, founder of VIM & VIGR. “I really felt that there was a market for VIM & VIGR and people were ready for something more than the medical or athletic-look that had become synonymous with compression socks. Luckily the research and my hunch paid off and our first order of 10,000 pairs sold out in three months! One of the best aspects of starting the company has been watching it grow from a side hustle to building an amazing team of passionate, hardworking people that love working together to achieve a common goal. I’m proud of the work we’ve accomplished and the level of education we’ve provided our customers around the benefits of compression, taking it from rather dull and medical to vibrantly mainstream.”

From the start, VIM & VIGR has combined compression with style to create socks and legwear featuring fashionable designs, happy colors and custom fabric blends. Unisex styles are woven utilizing state-of-the-art machines so they maintain compression levels throughout the day for proven comfort and ease of use. Compression socks can be worn all day every day and provide scientifically proven benefits for a broad range of uses including travel, athletics, work, pregnancy, chronic illnesses and beyond.

To preview the latest collection or for more information on VIM & VIGR’s graduated compression socks and legwear please visit www.vimvigr.com.

About VIM & VIGR:

Proudly woman-owned, VIM & VIGR designs and manufactures the highest-quality compression legwear to energize legs, reduce swelling, and alleviate achiness and heaviness. Based in Missoula, Mont. since 2013, VIM & VIGR’s primary focus is to create true graduated compression socks, tights and sleeves that provide unparalleled fit, reliable compression and unique designs. Available in three compression levels, four fabrics and six sizes, VIM & VIGR’s therapeutic threads give people from all walks of life the support to work, play, travel and recover with vigor.

Colossal Announces .7 Million Raised From Inked Originals Competition Benefiting New Freedom Project
Geoff Ratzlaff has been voted in by the public as the first-ever Inked OG

Colossal, known as the global leader in fundraising through online competitions for charities, is excited to announce that over $1.7 million has been raised from the 2023 Inked Originals Competition. The online fundraising campaign brought together thousands of tattoo enthusiasts to celebrate self-expression and compete for $20,000 and a feature in Inked Magazine.

Benefiting the New Freedom Project

The 2023 competition operated as a fundraising campaign on behalf of DTCare, a nationally registered 501(c)(3) charity/charitable grantmaker. The funds raised during the Inked Originals Competition went directly to DTCare, which will subsequently issue a grant to the New Freedom Project (NFP) totaling nearly $2 million. This donation will assist with the organization’s mission to mentor inmates during the reentry process through peer-to-peer relationships, vocational training, and services that protect the community and inspire dignity by empowering the innate goodness in every human being.

Introducing the 2023 Inked Original: Geoff Ratzlaff

From a tender age, this architectural technologist drew motivation from the tattoos adorning his three elder brothers, a source of inspiration that eventually prompted him to get his own ink at 15 years old. Ratzlaff's substantial back tattoo encompasses remarkable artistry, a captivating dark-realism theme, and an impressive size and placement. 

“My favorite aspect of the tattoo is the tale it narrates, spanning the journey of my family from the tumultuous era of the Russian Revolution to the present day. Each inked detail encapsulates their evolving legacy, commemorating the trials, triumphs, and enduring spirit that have shaped their collective history over the decades,” said Ratzlaff, who will show off his incredible body art in the Spring 2024 issue of Inked Magazine.

Partnership Between Florence Healthcare and WCG to Advance Site Enablement in Clinical Research

Florence Healthcare and WCG have announced a strategic partnership, strengthening their Site Enablement services to help increase clinical research capacity, reduce trial-associated risks, and accelerate development of potential cures. By implementing Site Enablement, sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs), and sites streamline study site operations while complementing existing workflows with best-in-class technology.

Strengthen Clinical Trial System Integrations 
Florence's Site Enablement Platform will integrate with WCG’s ClinTech platform featuring solutions that accelerate trials across the clinical research continuum.

With more than 250,000 documents exchanged annually, this unique integration will reduce the burden on site staff that currently manually upload and download documents in multiple clinical systems.

Expand Solution Offerings
Florence's SiteLink® solution will now be offered to sponsor and CRO clients in conjunction with WCG’s solutions. Clients can now deploy Florence's Site Enablement Platform while leveraging WCG’s solutions across all sites involved in their study to simplify the site experience, maintain commitment to high quality standards, and accelerate clinical research by digitizing workflows.
