American College of Lifestyle Medicine and U.S. Space Force announce partnership to optimize service member health through lifestyle medicine | PR Newswire

The agreement, which will provide training to all Guardian Resilience Team members, marks the first enterprise-level comprehensive lifestyle medicine training program initiative within the U.S. Department of Defense.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) and United States Space Force(USSF) have announced an innovative training partnership to enhance Space Force service members’ health and performance by providing the USSF Guardian Resilience Team (GRT) with evidence-based lifestyle medicine education, training and certification.

“The American College of Lifestyle Medicine will teach and train Guardians to implement healthy behaviors that will enhance performance, reduce disease, and improve lifelong health outcomes. This is truly a win-win partnership!”

The agreement marks the first enterprise-level comprehensive lifestyle medicine training program initiative across the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). The first new branch of the armed services since 1947, the Space Force was formed in 2019 to address the national security imperative in space and today has more than 14,000 military and civilian Guardians.

Through the agreement, ACLM will provide lifestyle medicine education, training and certification to the Space Force GRT in support of Holistic Health Approach to educate, assess and train Guardians on physical and mental fitness using science-based information and techniques. The DOD is committed to reducing the U.S. chronic disease burden on warfighter readiness.

Lifestyle medicine is a fast-growing medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. ACLM offers the most extensive and expanding catalog of expert-led and -created lifestyle medicine courses and curricular resources across the medical education spectrum.

“Holistic Health Approach is the public health and primary prevention capacity for the United States Space Force,” said USSF Holistic Health Approach Lead Christine E. Heit, MA. “To that end, it is important that all of our Guardian Resilience Teams (GRT) receive all of the requisite training and education so they can teach Guardians the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to promote short- and long-term health outcomes. Partnering with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine enables us to not only meet our goal, but develop a partnership focused on positive outcomes of our service members.”

Lifestyle medicine aligns with the Space Force’s GRT goal of developing a holistic health strategy for active service members. Lifestyle medicine-certified clinicians are trained to apply evidence-based, whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle change to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse lifestyle-related chronic diseases. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, positive social connections, and avoidance of risky substances—also provides effective prevention for these conditions.

“The pandemic of lifestyle-related chronic disease impacts all aspects of our nation, including the readiness and performance of the great military that protects us,” said ACLM President Padmaja Patel, MD, DipABLM, FACLM. “ACLM is proud to partner with the U.S. Space Force to ensure that the brave men and women who serve our country receive health care that provides the health and healing they deserve. Lifestyle medicine can help deliver exactly that.”

The partnership will position all eligible Space Force GRT members on the pathway to lifestyle medicine certification, completing the prerequisites and sitting for the certification exam in 2025. Since the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine started certification in 2017, almost 6,700 physicians and health professionals have become certified in lifestyle medicine.

“We have seen incredible progress with the initial adoption of lifestyle medicine within the military, yet we have a long way to go to ensure it is the standard of care for all warfighters,” said ACLM Senior Advisor for Military and Veterans Affairs Regan Stiegmann, DO, MPH, DipABLM, FACLM. “The United States Air Force and USSF have deployed a number of lifestyle medicine initiatives efforts across their branches, and we now need additional military leaders to help scale these programs to all service members who deserve a lifestyle medicine-centric approach to their health and warfighter readiness.”

The U.S. chronic disease crisis has been identified as a threat to national security. A 2022 Pentagon study found that 77 percent of young Americans wouldn’t qualify for military service without a waiver because of being overweight, having mental or physical health problems or prior history of drug use. The breadth of lifestyle and performance medicine practice has grown steadily in recent years throughout all military branches.

“Health and human performance are essential to the success of every Guardian, and the USSF,” said Director of the Air Force Medical Group Corps Colonel Valerie J. Castle, DO, MPH. “In alignment with the USSF’s Holistic Health Approach, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine will teach and train Guardians to implement healthy behaviors that will enhance performance, reduce disease, and improve lifelong health outcomes. This is truly a win-win partnership!”

About ACLM®

Serving as a transformation catalyst, disruptor of the status quo, and a galvanized force for change, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine is the nation’s medical professional society advancing the field of lifestyle medicine as the foundation of a redesigned, value-based and equitable healthcare delivery system, essential to achieving the Quintuple Aim and whole person health. ACLM represents, advocates for, trains, certifies, and equips its members to identify and eradicate the root cause of chronic disease by optimizing modifiable risk factors. ACLM is filling the gaping void of lifestyle medicine—including food as medicine—in medical education, doing so across the entire medical education continuum, while also advancing research, clinical practice and reimbursement strategies. Adding years to lives and life to years, while reining in the alarming, unsustainable trajectory of healthcare spending, is what lifestyle medicine delivers.

Digital & Intelligent Pathway: Xiaohongshu and VOGUE Business Unveil Groundbreaking Lifestyle Marketing Insights at Milan Summit | PR Newswire

MILAN, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As the exclusive strategic partner, Xiaohongshu teamed up with VOGUE Business to host the The Digital Silk Road: Pioneering the Future of Luxury Lifestyles summit at Milan’s historic Palazzo Serbelloni on September 26-27, 2024.

Human-Centric Marketing: Unlocking Marketing Potential

At the summit, Xiaohongshu unveiled its comprehensive insights into 20 demographic groups, with a particular focus on luxury through the introduction of the “Luxury Living” persona. This classification segmented luxury consumers based on their varied spiritual needs, highlighting four core motivators behind luxury spending and granting attendees an insightful glimpse into Xiaohongshu’s luxury consumer base. The diversity of the “Luxury Living” persona opens up fresh avenues for brand-consumer interactions, aligning brand identity with consumer self-expression. It satisfies the target consumers’ quest for self-identity markers and a sense of belonging, transcending conventional status symbols and instead embodying the essence of individuals, nurturing their evolving spiritual world and cultivating a deep, lasting emotional connection with brands.

Additionally, in the realm of wellness, health-conscious consumers across different age groups exhibit varying physical, experiential, and expressive desires in diverse usage scenarios. Based on health philosophies, consumption motivations, and use settings, Xiaohongshu identified eight key demographic groups as “Physique Care Advocates” within the healthcare and wellness sector at the summit, including Vitality Chargers, Workplace Efficiency Seekers, Slow Living Advocates, Glow-Up Researchers, Self-Care Enthusiasts, Fitness Fanatics, Endurance Explorers, and Silver-Haired Trendsetters.

This comprehensive segmentation underscores the escalating health consciousness among young generations, who adopt a proactive stance in managing their health and drive the health consumption landscape towards greater daily integration and diversity. Xiaohongshu enables brands by unveiling real-world consumer scenarios, and cultivating profound understanding of diverse pain points and shopping preferences. Through a meticulous grasp of consumers’ wellness requirements, brands can enhance their offerings, emphasize core competencies, and fortify competitive advantages, ultimately widening market reach for products that truly align with user demands.

In the realm of home living, Xiaohongshu pinpointed four distinct personas: Nomadic Youth, Nesting Youth, All-Rounders, and Home Curators. Through collaboration with Xiaohongshu, brands can tap into these unique consumer segments, anchored by the “People-Needs-Scenarios-Trends” framework. Encompassing home decor aesthetics, furniture and appliance efficiency, and emotional satisfaction, brands receive a holistic analysis of crucial growth trends within the home living sector. Jointly, they can carve out innovative avenues for user engagement and catalyze business expansion.

Innovative Solutions: A Win-Win Ecosystem for a Shared Future

Brands on Xiaohongshu have enhanced their marketing strategies and bolstered business value, streamlining the process from inspiration to purchase. Xiaohongshu, along with its partner brands, has introduced a novel marketing approach that caters to the preferences of the new generation by bridging the gap between online and offline channels. This strategy has further expedited consumer engagement and communication, providing a convenient, efficient, and reassuring shopping experience.

For luxury brands, effectively communicating brand mantra and proposition is vital in engaging with their target audience. The runway serves as the cornerstone for brand storytelling, acting as a bridge between luxury consumption scenarios and marketing endeavors. Xiaohongshu’s distinctive “See Now, Buy Now” model for luxury fashion shows presents a groundbreaking solution. During Louis Vuitton’s (LV) Early Fall Women’s Collection show, the brand premiered a hybrid live streaming format on Xiaohongshu, showcasing both the runway and a preview event. Through this exclusive collaboration, LV paved an innovative marketing pathway, spanning from show highlights and multi-faceted product previews to direct purchasing via its mini-App, achieving a seamless transition from brand exposure to sales conversion.

Meanwhile, Xiaohongshu continues to break new ground in innovative marketing. Capitalizing on its robust consumer engagement, the platform has established a unique KOS (Key Opinion Sales) ecosystem, proving instrumental for brands in expanding their customer base. Currently, Xiaohongshu boasts over 100,000 business sales accounts spanning all industries, with nearly 2 million content posts. The KOS ecosystem efficiently broadens customer reach, streamlines ordering processes, and bridges the communication gap with consumers. By leveraging various content formats and marketing strategies, it communicates brand identity and aesthetic propositions, accelerating brands’ digital transformation and achieving a seamless closed-loop from inspiration to purchase.

This is achieved through practical marketing strategies, diversified brand solutions, and pioneering omnichannel conversion pathways.

Renal Support Network to Host 31st Annual Kidney Disease Education and Lifestyle Meeting Virtually | PR Newswire
Hope Week 2024 Offers Five Days of Inspiration, Education, and Support for People Living with Kidney Disease, Their Families, and Healthcare Professionals

GLENDALE, Calif., Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Renal Support Network (RSN) will host its 31st Annual Kidney Disease Education and Lifestyle Meeting from October 9th-13th, 2024. For over three decades, RSN has hosted this highly regarded event, providing education, resources, and support for people living with kidney disease, their families, and healthcare professionals. This event, aptly named Hope Week, will continue this tradition with a focus on fostering hope and empowerment for those affected by kidney disease.

RSN Founder/ President Lori Hartwell reflects, “Fear arises from a lack of understanding, and loneliness can be eased by connecting with a community that truly understands what you’re going through. Hope Week addresses these challenges. Knowledge and confidence in navigating care is within reach.”

Each day of the event will center on a different stage or aspect of chronic kidney disease (CKD), covering topics such as diagnosis, dialysis, kidney transplant, and daily lifestyle challenges. Esteemed healthcare professionals, along with those from within the kidney community who have learned to thrive in spite of having kidney disease, will share their expertise, advice, and personal stories, offering valuable insight into living and thriving with CKD.

RSN remains committed to equitable access to information and resources, ensuring that no individual faces barriers to participation. By utilizing a virtual platform, the meeting allows those who may face physical, geographic, or financial constraints to engage fully in the event.

Hope Week provides not only education but also inspiration and a chance to connect with a supportive community of people who have been there. It’s a unique opportunity to hear firsthand from those who have walked the path and to learn about the latest advancements in kidney care.

RSN Founder and President Lori Hartwell reflects, “Throughout my journey—marked by more than 50 surgeries, 13 years on dialysis, and four kidney transplants—I’ve faced some of life’s toughest lessons. These were not the lessons you learn in school, but ones born from personal experience. I know many of my peers share the same fears and feelings of isolation that I’ve experienced. Fear often arises from a lack of understanding, and loneliness can be eased by connecting with a community that truly understands what you’re going through. That’s exactly what Hope Week provides: five days of inspiration and education designed to address these challenges. One of the cornerstones of RSN is the motto, ‘an illness is too demanding when you don’t have hope’, and Hope Week is here to remind everyone that connection, knowledge and confidence in navigating care is within reach.”

Key Event Highlights:
- There are no fees to attend.
- Free Gift for Attending: All attendees receive a complimentary gift from RSN.
- The event starts later in the afternoon on the weekdays so that people who work can attend.
- Daily Focused Sessions: Each day will highlight a different stage or aspect of CKD, including topics such as diagnosis, dialysis, kidney transplants, and the management of daily lifestyle issues.
- Expert Speakers and Panelists: Renowned healthcare professionals and experts from the kidney community will offer advice and discuss the latest developments in kidney care.
- Patient and Caregiver Stories: Attendees will have the opportunity to hear inspiring personal stories from patients and caregivers who have firsthand experience managing CKD.
- Interactive Q&A Sessions: Participants will be able to engage directly with speakers and panelists, asking questions and gaining insight into various aspects of kidney disease management.
- Access for All: The virtual platform ensures that individuals from across the globe can participate, regardless of their location or circumstances.
- Networking and Support: Hope Week will also feature opportunities to connect with others who are experiencing similar challenges, creating a supportive and uplifting environment.
- Youth and Family Day: Parents share their tips for coping with challenges of a busy family life and young adults share their stories about transitioning to adulthood, finding independence, a career, dating and school.
- Lifestyle Expo: Explore virtual booths featuring kidney-friendly products, services, and resources.
To see the full agenda and to register go to RSNHope.org/HopeWeek.

RSN would like to thank our 2024 Hope Week sponsors: Akebia, Amgen, Alexion, Ardelyx, AstraZeneca and U.S. Renal Care.

The Renal Support Network is a Registered 501(c)(3) Non-profit and serve people throughout the United States.

Lori Hartwell founded Renal Support Network in 1993 to empower people who have kidney disease to become knowledgeable about their illness, proactive in their care, hopeful about their future and make friendships that last a lifetime. Lori suffered kidney failure at the age of two, survived 50+ surgeries and 13 years of dialysis, and is now living with her fourth kidney transplant.

RSN’s hopeful and life-enriching, non-medical programs help people who have kidney disease and their families, whether they are in the early stages of the disease, are on dialysis, or have received a transplant. www.RSNhope.org.

Kiki de Montparnasse Unveils A Website Redesign and Introduces Mr. Kiki; Sets Sights on Global Lifestyle Expansion | PR Newswire
NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Kiki de Montparnasse, the premier name in luxury lingerie and sexual wellness, unveils a digital rebrand alongside Mr. Kiki, an exclusive shopping destination within the website crafted for the discerning gentleman. The launch represents a pivotal moment in the brand’s evolution, elevating the digital shopping experience and propelling its international expansion forward under the leadership of Global President, Alexa Cahill.

Starting today, www.kikidm.com, which drives 50% of the company’s total revenue, will unveil a dynamic new look and enhanced functionality. The revamped website introduces the “World of Kiki de Montparnasse,” offering a multi-faceted shopping experience through three distinct pillars: Wear, Live, and Play.
- “Wear” features Kiki’s signature underpinnings alongside the most extensive ready-to-wear collection launched to date.
- “Live” presents a curated selection of soft furnishings, vintage books, and erotic games to transform living spaces into pleasure havens.
- “Play” showcases pleasure instruments designed through Kiki’s luxury fashion lens.
Mr. Kiki—a dedicated section for the discerning gentleman—will feature gift ideas for her, such as lingerie sets, scented candles, and diamond-encrusted handcuffs, as well as pieces for him like unisex loungewear in extended sizes, a poker table, playing cards, and more.

“Kiki de Montparnasse is renowned for its lingerie, but our vision extends far beyond that, and this digital refresh reflects our broader mission. From the very beginning, we’ve been trailblazers in the lifestyle space, igniting conversations about intimacy and pleasure long before the sexual wellness movement gained momentum. Over the years, and particularly in the last 9 months, we’ve continued to build on this, adding emerging designer ready-to-wear, modern bridalwear, one-of-a-kind furniture, sensual home decor, vintage erotica, and so much more to enrich every aspect of our customer’s lives. With half of our top clientele being men shopping for women, Mr. Kiki has been purposefully designed to cater to their needs, providing a platform to both surprise and delight their partners and indulge themselves,” says Cahill.

The newly revamped website has also been strategically optimized for cross-border commerce, significantly enhancing Kiki de Montparnasse’s international presence in Canada, Europe, and the UAE. This upgrade follows a series of successful presentations at New York and Paris Market Weeks, where the brand secured a record-breaking number of new international wholesale accounts for the Holiday and Valentine’s Day season.
