  • CT-Based Startup Creates HomeField – the First Fitness Platform for All Abilities

    CT-Based Startup Creates HomeField – the First Fitness Platform for All Abilities

    Press Release


    May 24, 2022

    When one thinks of being inclusive, do they consider those with disabilities and special needs? This is the question Daniel Caridi, Co-Founder of HomeField, asks when sharing the company’s story. Several years ago, Caridi and his Co-Founder, Gage DeDominicis, started volunteering at a local gym teaching fitness to about five people with special needs and disabilities. Mondays and Thursdays quickly became the highlights of their week. Due to rising concerns about the pandemic, they turned to online classes. Just in their immediate area, classes skyrocketed to 80+ people engaged and working out. If they could have that kind of impact locally, imagine what could be done on a national scale. That’s when Daniel and Gage realized they were onto something.

    Their mission? To create a sustainable business that positively impacts the world. 

    HomeField‘s mission? To create fun and meaningful experiences that inspire inclusion and build trust together.

    It was then that the first online health and wellness platform designed for all abilities was born. HomeField.fit serves people with physical disabilities, special needs, older adults, and anyone who does not have easy access to fitness and wellness content that fits their needs. The platform offers 100+ on-demand classes as well as daily live stream classes in dance, martial arts, yoga, mindfulness and more.

    They hired international fitness guru, Billy Blanks Jr., to manage and build HomeField’s catalog of online classes as President and Head of Content. “I’m excited about working with a team that is dedicated to creating a wide variety of content that is fun, easy to follow, and most importantly inclusive to all levels of abilities and ages.” The company’s CEO, Liza Rivera Salta, brings over 30 years of business experience, coupled with a passion for serving the special needs community. “It’s a community environment. We’re all the same in that we want to work out, be fit, make friends and feel included- and I think that’s a key differentiation for HomeField,” Salta emphasized.

    HomeField has also partnered with the Special Olympics of CT, Abilis, a few public school systems, and corporations. Individuals are encouraged to try the platform for free by signing up at www.homefield.fit. HomeField fits everybody and helps bring fun fitness to all by moving through barriers.

  • Free Sleep Aid for First Responders

    Free Sleep Aid for First Responders

    Press Release



    updated: May 24, 2021

    It’s been a long year for everyone, but no more so than our first responders. In recognition of the tireless service of these workers, Thinline Anthem is now offering them the best gift of all – a good night’s rest.

    Thinline Anthem is a family-owned health supplement company created by a son honoring the service of his firefighter father. Their mission is to support the physical and mental health of “Thinline Heroes,” aka police, fire, EMS, 911 dispatchers, nurses, corrections officers, military and any other heroes that put their lives on the line daily for the safety of others. 

    “Thinline Heroes are overworked and underappreciated. During these times, they need our love and support more than ever. Because of our brand mission and the generosity of our amazing customers, we are able to provide free product to these dedicated men and women,” said Thinline Anthem founder Dan McBride.

    Any verified first responder personnel who signs up on the website will receive a free bottle of Night Shift, the powerful sleep aid that has been helping these workers get some badly needed shut-eye.

    Night Shift contains a proprietary blend of herbs and minerals linked to lowering stress and promoting deep, restful sleep. This includes Mucuna Pruriens used in Ayurvedic medicine that contains high levels of L-dopa thought to increase dopamine levels. McBride says workers who have tried it report waking up fully rested and not feeling groggy.

    In addition, they will receive a 20% lifetime discount on all other supplements and an additional 10-15% off subscription packages. They will also be eligible for exclusive promotions and more.

    “With this small gesture, we hope to improve the mental and physical health of our essential workers,” McBride added.

    About Thinline Anthem

    Thinline Anthem was created by Dan McBride, who credits his firefighting father and his own personal experience in the field as the motivating force behind the vision. McBride, himself a volunteer firefighter, had a career in law enforcement as a corrections officer.

    Their goal is not only to create game-changing products but also to offer support to those on the front lines of health and safety. The company donates a portion of every sale to non-profit organizations like Next Rung & Blue H.E.L.P.  that focus on our first responder mental health. They also make regular contributions to Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.

    “We look at our company as something that surpasses a vitamins and supplement brand. It’s a community, a support group and a family.”

  • Wantagh Resident Scott Lannan is Working to Launch the Santa Cause, a New Campaign to Help Those Who Are Sick

    Wantagh Resident Scott Lannan is Working to Launch the Santa Cause, a New Campaign to Help Those Who Are Sick

    By donating a portion of all the sales of Santa merchandise, Lannan believes it could generate funding to help those who are sick.

    Press Release



    updated: Dec 21, 2018

    Scott Lannan, a Wantagh resident, who has been known to ride his bicycle in town dressed as Santa, has been working to launch a new campaign. What he calls The Santa Cause is an initiative to raise funding through the sale of current Santa merchandise including pictures, lawn decorations and other Santa gear. He believes taking a portion of these sales could fund initiatives to help the sick and those in need.

    “I want us to get back to the real meaning of Santa as a giver, more than the commercialized industry that Santa now represents,” explains Lannan. “The legend of Santa originated with St. Nicholas in what is now Turkey. His story was about giving selflessly. I think if we can use that image of Santa today, we can get back to a place of helping those who are less fortunate, particularly those who are sick.”

    Allowing Santa to be active and in better health rather than obese encourages not just youth, but all those older father and grandfathers who play Santa to do so in a healthy way.

    Scott Lannan, The Santa Cause

    Health is important to Lannan. He believes it’s also important while helping the sick to show Santa in a new way. With the rates of childhood obesity rising, Lannan believes it’s time to show this most beloved childhood icon in a way that promotes activity and good health, which is why he’s Santa on a bike.

    “Allowing Santa to be active and in better health rather than obese encourages not just youth, but all those older father and grandfathers who play Santa to do so in a healthy way,” says Lannan. “Many balk at the idea because of tradition, but there’s no reason why Santa has to carry so much weight. Santa being active and eating healthy could be a great role model to children and adults of all ages.”

    To learn more about the campaign and how to help, contact Scott Lannan at 516-408-0219 or email thesantacause@outlook.com.

    The Santa Cause is an initiative launched by Scott Lannan a Wantagh, New York resident, who wants to use Santa merchandising as a way to raise funding to help those who are sick and in need.

    updated: Aug 8, 2018

    Some of the Houston area’s most interesting and influential people recently got the first sneak peek at the hottest new drip spa in Texas.

    Hall-of-fame athletes rubbed elbows and sipped libations with TV socialites and medical professionals at the grand opening of ThrIVe Drip Spa’s newest location at Market Street in The Woodlands on July 12. The invitation-only event served as a stunning introduction to the exclusive benefits of advanced hydration therapy and cryotherapy now available to the public in Houston and The Woodlands. Plans call for a third location in Manhattan, New York.

    With two Houston-area locations now open, we want everyone to be able to experience the rejuvenating and revitalizing health benefits offered by both of these therapies.

    Erin Kemp, Director of Marketing and Branding

    “The health and rejuvenation benefits of a visit to ThrIVe Drip Spa are especially relevant to people who burn a lot of energy and spend a lot of time working and traveling,” said ThrIVe Drip Spa Co-founder Dr. Eugene Lou. “We wanted to introduce these benefits first to the people who will get the most out of them so that they can become brand evangelists for the transformative powers of cryotherapy and IV hydration and vitamin therapy across the Houston area.”

    Many VIP partygoers treated themselves to free cryotherapy sessions, subjecting their bodies to subzero temperatures. The cutting-edge treatment is moving into the mainstream after its adoption by superstar athletes like Usain Bolt, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Steph Curry.

    “With two Houston-area locations now open, we want everyone to be able to experience the rejuvenating and revitalizing health benefits offered by both of these therapies,” said Erin Kemp, Director of Marketing and Branding. “Our opening night at Market Street may have been a red-carpet affair, but IV drip therapy and cryotherapy are no longer just for the wealthy, the famous and the beautiful. These are benefits we can all enjoy.”

  • SANESolution Aims to Help Make Weight Loss Lasting With Setpoint Weight

    SANESolution Aims to Help Make Weight Loss Lasting With Setpoint Weight

    Press Release



    updated: Nov 10, 2017

    SANESolution is revolutionizing the way people approach weight loss. Their scientifically backed, doctor supported system, known as Setpoint WeightTM, reframes the common understanding of metabolism and weight loss into a methodology that achieves sustainable weight loss. 

    For decades people have struggled to lose excess weight, hoping to return their bodies to their youthful state prior to the tolls of work, children, medications, menopause, and life in general. This meant fad exercises and yo-yo dieting with little to no success. With all these efforts, why does the body seem incapable of lasting change? How do people overcome this “invisible force” fighting them?

    For decades people have struggled to lose excess weight, hoping to return to their bodies to their youthful state prior to the tolls of work, children, medications, menopause, and life in general! This meant fad exercises and yo-yo dieting with little to no success. With all these efforts, why does the body seem incapable of lasting change? How do people overcome this ‘invisible force’ fighting them?

    Jonathan Bailor

    That’s where SANESolution and Jonathan Bailor come in. Their work establishing the science of Setpoint WeightTM  has provided clear answers for individuals seeking to achieve sustainable weight loss. 

    An individual’s Setpoint WeightTM is a range of approximately 20 pounds in which the body is trained to believe is its ‘natural weight’. The body attempts to maintain what it thinks is a balanced state of calories in, calories out, and body fat stored, regardless of whether it is idea for health.

    Due to a number of factors, as people age, the body becomes “clogged.” This causes the digestive, neurological, and hormonal systems to all function sub-optimally, but the body adapts and begins to think these are the new normal. The body establishes a new higher Setpoint WeightTM. If that Setpoint weight is elevated and an individual wants to lose weight, it is first necessary to ‘unclog’ the systems and lower the Setpoint Weight. Once an individual’s Setpoint Weight has been lowered, sustainable weight loss becomes achievable.

    Jonathan Bailor and SANESolution state that after identifying one’s Setpoint WeightTM, SANESolution then lowers it – making the body function more like the body of a young and naturally thin person – resulting in sustainable weight loss. Everything can be boiled down to one choice: ‘Does this increase, or decrease my Setpoint?’

    According to SANESolution, diet and nutrition are not the only factors which can influence an individual’s Setpoint Weight. Almost everything has a Setpoint value, from sleep, exercise, and sex, to stress and medication. Knowing their influence and choosing accordingly turns people into their naturally thin, healthy selves. SANESolution makes it simple.

    Diets and exercise all fight against the Setpoint WeightTM. In the long run, the body always wins, and yo-yo dieting is the result. Instead of fighting an uphill battle it is possible to flatten the hill. By utilizing SANESolution and understanding Setpoint WeightTM, individuals are learning to lower their Setpoint and change their bodies to have a chance at experiencing sustainable weight loss.

  • Rising Star DAUPHINE Organics Release Vegan Advanced Bioactive Skincare Line, the Luxe Agape Collection

    Rising Star DAUPHINE Organics Release Vegan Advanced Bioactive Skincare Line, the Luxe Agape Collection

    DAUPHINE organics redefine luxury with sophisticated, nutrient-rich skincare containing over twenty active ingredients

    ​Jennifer Biagioni, from DAUPHINE organics, is announcing the release of the brand new Luxe Agape Collection; a sophisticated ten-piece collection of innovative skin care, handcrafted using only the finest exotic and nutrient-rich ingredients for the ultimate luxury skincare experience. The Luxe Agape Collection will be released on Nov. 1, 2017.

    Known for their luxurious proprietary, anti-aging formulas, DAUPHINE organics offers advanced bioactive proprietary botanical blends, designed specifically to meet the dynamic needs of active men and women seeking a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

    It is important to me that each blend provides the user with a unique yet beneficial experience; I use these products and although beauty is important to me, my health and wellness are far more valuable. Therefore, it was important to create products that not only make me feel younger but more importantly help to keep my family and me healthier. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to share my gifts with others because I know others too will benefit greatly from the incredible botanical powers contain within our [DAUPHINE organics] blends.

    Jennifer Biagioni, Owner

    Not just another organic skincare brand, DAUPHINE organics formulates using the most effective, nutrient-rich natural resources sourced from around the globe. Jennifer Biagioni states,

    “It is important to me that each blend provides the user with a unique yet beneficial experience; I use these products and although beauty is important to me, my health and wellness are far more valuable. Therefore, it was important to create products that not only make me feel younger but more importantly help to keep my family and me healthier. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to share my gifts with others because I know others too will benefit greatly from the incredible botanical powers contain within our [DAUPHINE organics] blends.”

    Some of the key components of each blend contain bioactive phytonutrients, and marine peptides, both offer complete nutritional support to balance, protect, and energize the body for a soft, luminescent complexion.

    Now for the first time, Jennifer Biagioni combines each of her favorite, most popular nutritional beauty blends into one synergistic collection that packs a powerful nutritional punch and promotes youthful looking skin. The new Luxe Agape Collection is scheduled to go live on Nov. 1, 2017.

    The Luxe Agape Collection is expected to sell out before the end of the season so be sure to shop the collection where it will be exclusively sold on the website DAUPHINEorganics.com.

    The Luxe Agape Collection showcases the ultimate love the body needs for achieving healthy, balanced nutrition while enduring the hectic seasons of adulthood; nutritional pampering helps to alleviate emotional stresses and protect the body from free radical damage, resulting in renewed vitality and total rejuvenation of mind, body, and soul.

    Each of the active botanical blends in the collection is rich in antioxidants, essential vitamins, and minerals, possessing the power to repair, restore and protect the skin cells from oxidative stress, a condition that results in degradation of our stem cells caused by free radicals. Daily application of products such as the Advanced Active Face Oil, which contains nutrient-rich prickly pear and rose hip seed oils, among others, are rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids that penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin, combating free radicals, stimulating collagen production, and promoting skin regeneration, resulting in a smoother complexion. Void of skin care treatments, severe cell degradation can eventually result in malfunctioning of regulatory body functions with the potential of progressing to the development of degenerative diseases; adopting an effective skin care regimen can dramatically reduce this threat.

    “The Luxe Agape Collection highlights the secret to a healthy, more youthful complexion by pampering the skin with decadent, highly concentrated skincare blends that provide the supplemental nourishment the body needs to sustain a healthy, balanced lifestyle,” states Mrs. Biagioni.

    To capitalize on today’s trends, several products feature ingredients such as turmeric, activated charcoal, pomegranate oil, and essential oils such as lavender and vetiver.

    All of the nutritional beauty blends in the collection are free from parabens, phthalates, propylene or butylene glycols, petroleum, sulfates, PEGS, TEA, DEA, GMO, silicones, pesticides, artificial dyes, fragrances, or carcinogens. Each botanical blend is Vegan, Gluten, and GMO-free, lovingly formulated and filled from Jennifer Biagioni’s private studio, never outsourced, and hand blended in micro-batches for ultimate freshness and efficacy.

    Each piece of the collection is elegantly packaged in exquisite amethyst glass imported from Switzerland; designed for optimal protection from harmful UV rays, the unique engineering prolongs the shelf-life of the product while maintaining optimal freshness. The bottles are recyclable but are so beautiful, they are usually repurposed or returned to DAUPHINE organics for a discount off the next purchase when participating in their “Use me, Reuse me” program.

    Some examples of the products found in the Luxe Agape Collection are:

    • Advanced Active Face Oil
    • Advanced Bioactive Organic Anti-aging Eye Serum
    • Rose Phytoplankton Toning Facial Mist
    • Advanced Luxe Charcoal Face Mask
    • Luxe Magnesium Body créme

    The Luxe Agape Collection ranges in price from $32 to $230.

    About DAUPHINE organics

    Jennifer Biagioni’s journey with natural remedies began when she was a young girl, influenced by her beloved late grandmother. Into adulthood, life took hold and Jennifer found her hectic family and work life relied heavily on nutrient depleting personal care treatments riddled with the toxic, chemical irritants found in mainstream products. Then when tragedy struck her family, followed by a seemingly sudden extreme skin sensitivity to commercial products, Jennifer began to refocus her attention on her experience in homeopathic personal care solutions; determined to rid the family home of pathogens and toxic irritants, Jennifer envisioned a healthy future where what was consumed through our largest organ, the skin, or digested in our food, would protect rather than contribute to the development of degenerative medical conditions caused by oxidative stress; a vision she seeks to share with the world through the innovative products distributed by DAUPHINE organics.

    Press Release



    updated: May 11, 2017

    What is Goat Yoga? Well, it’s just like a regular yoga, with stretching, postures and breathing, except with adorable and friendly goats wandering around, jumping on participants as they “downward dog,” giving kisses, and possibly nipping at yoga pants. Goat yoga is part of a growing trend of including friendly animals in human exercise routines. It’s healthy, it’s therapeutic and it’s loads of fun.

    “Everyone in our family is an animal lover. When we moved to the farmhouse, we bought some chickens, turkeys, bunnies and then goats. Our goats have all been bottle-fed and are friendly, loving and very therapeutic. 6 p.m. at our house is known as ‘Goat Time.’  Now we get to share our goats and our sacred Goat-Time with everyone else through Goat Yoga.” said Sharon Boustani, owner of Gilbertsville Farmhouse.

    About Gilbertsville Farmhouse:
    Gilbertsville Farmhouse operates primarily as a rustic wedding and retreat venue. It was founded in 2013 by Aldo and Sharon Boustani and their four children, formerly of New York City. In 2004, Aldo and Sharon were looking for a country home for their family — a place to unwind from their hectic NYC lives. They discovered their “little” (125 acres) slice of upstate heaven 3 1/2 hours away from the city, in a town right outside of Gilbertsville, New York. They fell in love.

    At first, they would travel almost every weekend to their private getaway.  Slowly, the area, the community and the lifestyle dug roots in their hearts. They dreamt of making a permanent life there. After almost ten years, their dream began to look less like a fantasy and more like a reality. Starting in 2013, they repurposed the buildings and grounds on their former dairy farm to create a unique and gorgeous rustic wedding venue featuring two stunning barns and a one-of-a-kind Glamping Village. Gilbertsville Farmhouse was born, a weekend wedding venue only 3 1/2 hours from NYC.

    After three years of operating their business and 3 1/2-hour commutes, the former NYC family became permanent members of their small-town community. As the family settles into their new lives, Gilbertsville Farmhouse continues to grow and expand. As with every part of their lives and business, Aldo and Sharon most enjoy sharing it with others.  

    In 2017, adorable Nigerian Dwarf babies joined the family and farm and NY Goat Yoga was born. Aldo, Sharon and their family look forward to sharing their dream, their place and those babies with their supporters, friends and community.
