Yacht Hampton Dominates Hamptons Yachting Market, launches in South Florida and Palm Beach

Kivo Daily Staff on January 12, 2022

With everything going on right now in the world, one of the best things people can do to cope is simply to have fun with family and friends. Yacht Hampton (formly Hamptons Boat Rental) is taking that experience to the next level, offering clients with a luxury yacht experience at some of the most exclusive and competitive luxury markets. Gaining massive success over the 2021 summer, the company now aims to expand its reach in all of South Florida, from Jupiter to Miami.

Yacht Hampton is expanding to other luxury markets, starting with South Florida, serving its A-listers and prominent personalities. The club gained traction among boating enthusiasts for offering unparalleled, memorable experiences without requiring guests to worry about all the details.

As Joe Ialacci, founder of Yacht Hampton explained, clients only have to choose a package that best suits their lifestyle and then look forward to an incredible seasonal yacht experience. “We’ll take you sightseeing, water skiing, or just cruising,” said Joe. “Or you can create a personal membership experience customized to accommodate your special summer calendar,” he added.

Yacht Hampton has served people from all walks of life for many occasions, including sunset cruises, corporate events, anniversaries, birthdays, bachelorette parties, weddings, and many other celebrations.

“The huge spike in demand for powerboats and yachts of all sizes caused by the coronavirus pandemic has made it increasingly challenging for prospective owners to find the exact make and model boat or yacht they’re looking for. And the supply chain problem—also fueled by the pandemic—has only exacerbated the issue. Predictably, prices have gone up, and for those who do manage to find a boat that suits their needs, finding a slip at the marina of their choice is often the next hurdle,” explained Joe.

But, of course, this is not a problem for Yacht Hampton as the company has a fleet of over 11 luxury boats and yachts in its inventory, giving Joe and his team a competitive edge over others. The scarcity in supply in yachts because of the pandemic was one of the factors that drove Joe to build the company, but the CEO also emphasized that the club has been around even before the global crisis as Hamptons Boat Rental. Joe saw that people lacked that thrill after being indoors most of the time because of the pandemic and saw an opportunity to present them with new experiences without compromising their health and safety.

Furthermore, powered by USCG licensed captains, Yacht Hampton indeed ensures the best and safety of their clients on board. In every excursion, Joe and his team strive to present a unique experience by taking guests to hidden locations in the waters of the Hamptons and now Jupiter, Palm Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Ft. Lauderdale, Aventura, Miami and Key Biscayne.

In addition, guests get access to luxury water toys found on the TV show Below Deck, including jet skis, hydrofoil hoverboards, electric surfboards, paddleboards, floating islands, tubes, and many more. Yacht Hampton has also made its packages accessible. Guests can simply book their packages online, having the entire fleet of yachts at their fingertips.

Dani Stephenson and Straight Forward Giving Are Pushing the Envelope of Philanthropy in the Entertainment Industry

Kivo Daily Staff on January 6, 2022

Music is a powerful storytelling vehicle that can motivate audiences and change the world for the better. It is such a concrete example of how art can move the hearts of many people, and Dani Stephenson has managed to take that step even further by creating a support system that helps millions of people in need with the power of music, ﬁlm, and education.

Dani Stephenson oﬃcially founded Straight Forward Giving to help others by educating and inspiring underprivileged communities in the United Kingdom as well as the rest of the world. The esteemed music mogul has been the driving force behind launching a new charity initiative called .ComUnity which also aims to push the envelope of philanthropy.

Initially known as Daniel Stephenson, Dani is the founder and president of Straight Forward Music Group, which is a company that has garnered many accolades within the music and ﬁlm industry. Dani’s company is a multi-platinum, multi Grammy-Award, Brit Award, BET Award, Mercury Award, Soul Train Music Award, Q Award, ASCAP Award, BMI Award, Brit Asia Award, BBC Future Sound Award, Variety Award, Billboard Award, American Music Award and MOBO Award-winning entertainment company founded in 2009.

He has worked on a variety of successful campaigns, such as Diddy Dirty Money, whose album The Last Train to Paris via Bad Boy Records was a global phenomenon. The renowned music mogul also worked on the record breaking albums by Drake “More Life” and “Scorpion” as well as Big Sean’s platinum single “Marvin & Chardonnay,” featuring Kanye West and Roscoe Dash. These are only a few of the many achievements that Dani has under his belt.

His latest philanthropic endeavour, ComUnity aims to become a fun, exciting and mystical world for aspiring youth to immerse themselves in. However, behind all the glitz and glamor of the project, there is a serious message at the core. Ever since the inception of Dani Stephenson’s Straight Forward Giving, he always had a simple vision in mind: “To help create a united, equal world free from poverty, domestic abuse, and crime through the power of education, music, and ﬁlm. One community at a time.”

Ultimately, the .ComUnity mission is to create an open-source one-stop- shop for key educational information, assets, and courses. Dani Stephenson also hopes to grow his company’s educational workshops, seminars, and charity programs nationwide to meet people face to face as the global pandemic slowly settles.

“A key driver that will start to turn the tide on youth turning to crime in underprivileged communities is by eradicating the stereotypical approach industries have in recruiting staﬀ without bachelor degrees,” explained Dani Stephenson. “We should start empowering the next generation from all backgrounds and communities no matter what qualiﬁcations someone

has. It’s important that we start installing conﬁdence in the youth and make them realize that they have the power to achieve anything in life and that they have the same opportunities no matter the upbringing or background” he added.

He ﬁrmly believes that education is the great equalizer, and no matter if a person has a Bachelor’s Degree or not, they should not be treated any diﬀerently. Dani Stephenson’s noble and charitable eﬀorts are deeply rooted in his passion for inspiring and helping others. It is clear to see that he has the heart and he has the mind to truly make a diﬀerence in our world today.

Danny B Makes Waves in the Beauty Industry with Eat Beauty Makeup

Kivo Daily Staff on December 30, 2021

Despite the damaging effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on the global economy, certain businesses continued to thrive, including the beauty industry—a surprising reality considering that the majority of the people are not seen without their masks. Contrary to popular belief, the beauty industry is resilient and evolving, so it comes as no shock that it remains one of the most lucrative businesses to date. Of course, like most businesses, it takes a certain kind of hustle to get recognized in this industry, and only a handful outside the giant corporations can ever be considered a success—one of these is Eat Beauty.

Eat Beauty was launched by licensed esthetician and cosmetologist Danielle Brown, better known as Danny B in 2014. Her primary focus is make-up, but she also provides services and products for hair and skin.

In addition to luxury beauty services, Eat Beauty also provides several handmade products, including body scrubs, skin oils, hair oils, facial scrubs, and lip conditioners. Danny B recently launched her signature LipSting line of lip care products that includes liquid lipsticks, lip gloss, lip liners, lip balms, scrubs, and more.

Danny B started her career in the beauty industry eight years ago, but her journey was not all sunshine and rainbows. Before getting her big break, she had to brave and overcome several challenges that tested her as an entrepreneur, a person, and a parent. The motivation to build her brand stems from her being a single parent to two boys, who live with autism and ADHD, respectively.

Danny B’s determination, dedication, and drive has powered her journey. Along the way, she’s worked with celebrated artists, including Stevie Wonder, Shelia E, and the late Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. Danny B’s experience with these celebrities fueled her desire to give her clients the same luxury pampering that any celebrity would receive.

“What separates me from my competition is the fact that I am licensed as a cosmetologist and an esthetician, and I have experience working with multiple high-profile clientele,” Danny B shares.

In a few years, she hopes to franchise her brand in multiple states across the country and have the opportunity to impart her wisdom, knowledge, and experiences to aspiring entrepreneurs like her. Additionally, she aspires to have her products on store shelves like Sephora and Ulta, further expanding her business.

Expanding Access to Credit with Alternative Data

Kivo Daily Staff on December 29, 2021

Access to mainstream financial services requires new insights into individual finance history. Many Americans today have little to no credit due to various reasons, and this can lead to difficulties getting loans and can lead to higher rates on insurance. So what are the reasons so many people in the country have low credit and what is the solution?

1 in 5 adults in the U.S lack the credit history needed to establish a credit score. 67 million Americans have a thin credit file–meaning they have four or less accounts– and 25 million are considered completely credit invisible. 63 million of these consumers with low credit are also under banked. This lack of banking as well as lack of credit means that consumers have to rely on high-cost alternative financial products and services such as check cashing or pawn shops.

There are many reasons that consumers can have little-to-no credit history. Oftentimes younger people or people who are new to using credit can be intimidated by starting new accounts or not sure where to even start. Other consumers may not use credit accounts or be cash or debit card users. Still others can be recently widowed or divorced and be left to deal with their own finances for the first time in years!

These various reasons for credit invisibility can be costly to consumers. Subprime credit scores can bring up to $30,000 more in interest on an average thirty year mortgage compared to a prime score. Credit invisibility can also bring higher interest rates on personal loans and higher premiums for auto, home, and rental insurance. These financial consequences aren’t fair considering the reasons that most consumers are credit invisible, so what is the solution?

Leveraging alternative data could move 20 million more U.S. consumers into scorable credit bands. 21% of credit thin or invisible consumers could become scorable and 18% could qualify for prime or near prime offers. There are many forms of alternative data that can be used, and all data that is used is consumer permissioned meaning that consumers can choose what information is leveraged with their credit score.

One example of alternative data that can be used is rental payment data. Many landlords perform credit checks as part of the leasing process, but rental data is not included in credit reports. 51% of consumers believe it would be helpful to have rental payment information included in credit reports. On time payments would show that a person is financially responsible in the same way credit information does.

Another form of alternative data is the work number database. Employment and income verification can assess U.S consumers’ ability to pay. If the work number database was used in credit decisions it could move more than 7M people into prime or super prime categories. In fact the work number service fulfilled 223M verifications for consumers in 2020 alone.

Credit is important for making big purchases such as cars or homes for many Americans. It is important that the opportunity for prime scores are available for people even with limited credit history. The leverage of alternative data can provide the opportunity to access mainstream financial services for the credit invisible population in the U.S. today.

5 ways to ace any virtual interview

Kivo Daily Staff on December 29, 2021

Interviews are one of the most challenging stages in one’s career. The thought that a stranger can ask you any questions for 45 minutes to 1 hour is nerve-wracking.

COVID has made this even harder, as most interviews are conducted online via remote collaboration tools like Zoom, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Teams, etc. During virtual interviews, the factors you have to keep in mind are different from in-person interviews.

Being mindful of these differences can help anyone ace their online interviews and stand out from the crowd. Here are five tips to increase your chances of getting your dream job.

1. Have a Good Background

Picture this: You are watching a movie and engrossed in it. Suddenly, someone keeps walking in between your line of sight. Would you be distracted? The answer is a resounding Yes. The same applies to virtual interviews as well.

When attending these interviews, you need to make sure your background is free of distractions that could steer the interviewer’s attention from you. You do not want your pets, kids, or objects moving in the background, and your goal is to have their fullest attention, starting with keeping your surroundings clean.

If you find tidying up difficult, use a virtual background or a backdrop (preferably plain in color) that can mask all the objects within the viewing area of the tool you are using. Before your call, test your video screen with a friend to ensure everything is set up correctly, and that your audio and camera are working correctly as well.

2. Dress Professionally

One of the common misconceptions about virtual interviews is that you do not need to dress up, which is far from the truth. Like onsite interviews, the interviewers judge you by the way you look, which is a human tendency.

Make yourself appear professional and treat these interviews like in-person interviews. Organizations respect people who take their interviews seriously, and dressing up professionally is one way of showing your interest in working for that particular company.

3. Pay Attention to Your Body Language

Body language and tone of voice are essential parts of our daily communication. In 1971, Albert Mehrabian, a researcher on non-verbal communication, came up with the “7%-38%-55%” rule, which became popular worldwide and remains relevant. He found that words account for 7%, tone of voice accounts for 38%, and body language accounts for 55% of daily communication. This means an astounding 93% of our daily communication is non-verbal.

So, it is important to pay attention to non-verbal cues when communicating in online interviews. Maintaining eye contact when talking to the person on the screen makes the conversation more effective – one tip is to move the interviewer’s picture/window to near your computer’s camera, for this (and your own picture too, so you know if you have spinach in your teeth). If you have multiple screens, do not keep turning your head as it is distracting. If you have to turn to refer to something during an interview, jot down those points in sticky notes and stick them on the sides of your main screen used for the discussion. In this way, your focus would look more natural.

Also, be aware of whether you are rocking in your chair, shaking your leg, your facial expressions, and your tone of voice. All these important factors for onsite interviews hold for virtual interviews as well.

4. Prepare Ice Breakers

When you meet someone for the first time, it helps if you do some research on them. Think of it like meeting your in-laws for the first time. Before you meet the person, you may look at their social media profile, take notes on their interest areas, and find some commonalities between you both to strike up an interesting conversation. This applies to virtual interviews as well.

Before you get on the interview call, use LinkedIn to look at your interviewer’s profile. Take notes on their interest areas and find some commonalities between you and them to use as an ice breaker conversation. For example, if you find out the interviewer volunteers at the same place as you, then open up the conversation saying, “Hey, by the way, I noticed that you volunteer at the Red Cross, I do the same as well.” This will immediately grab the interviewer’s attention.

According to research, It takes a tenth of a second to make a first impression of a stranger from their face, and that longer exposures don’t significantly alter those impressions (although they might boost your confidence in your judgments). So these ice breaker conversations help create that positive first impression you need to crack the interview.

5. Record Yourself Answering Commonly Asked Questions

One of the main reasons people fail interviews is that they do not give succinct replies to some commonly asked questions; that you know will be asked. Some of them include:

Tell me about yourself
What do you know about our company?
Tell me about a time where you solved a complex problem?
What are your strengths?
What are your weaknesses?
Why should I hire you?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Instead of thinking about answering these questions and blurting out whatever comes to your mind, prepare for it in advance.

Record yourself answering those questions using video recording tools and analyze how you are doing. At first, it may feel intimidating, but the more you practice the answers, the more comfortable you get in answering them during the interview. Do your homework.

Acing virtual interviews is not difficult if you prepare for them well in advance and follow these strategies. Best of luck, and remember to mute yourself when sneezing!!

An Introduction to the Artist and Entrepreneur Rey Rey Rodriguez

Kivo Daily Staff on December 27, 2021

Rey Rey Rodriguez (born Rey Paul Rodriguez) is a renowned photographer, visual artist, content creator, entrepreneur, and is the founder of the brand The Mind of Rey Rey®. The Puerto Rican born, South Florida artist came from humble beginnings and rapidly grew in popularity. From his start in 2006, it didn’t take long for Rey Rey Rodriguez’s photography, graphic art, and video shorts to be found everywhere.

He began working as a freelance and pro bono photographer while building his portfolio. His connections to non-mainstream, underground circles and individuals such as outcasts, thugs, fighters, alternative lifestyle communities, private events, fraternities, piercing and body modification groups, and several other people that enjoyed a taboo lifestyle, allowed him to shoot a mix of controversial artwork ranging from experimental, avant-garde, erotic, taboo, horror, macabre, morbid, gory, and sometimes violent photoshoots and short films. While his unorthodox collections were banned in many places and online platforms, he grew a massive loyal underground following within a community of people he likes to call, “dark and artistic weirdos like myself.”

The creative stories behind the imagery, and the masterful methods of capturing the shots, combined with his unmatched marketing campaigns quickly gave rise to a new celebrity photographer capable of reaching a star status beyond the art community. By 2014, Rey Rey was collaborating with celebrities, athletes, musicians, combat sports fighters, politicians, activists, major companies, and public figures of all kinds.

That year, the word “enter” was dropped from his catch phrase, “Enter the mind of Rey Rey,” to create “The Mind of Rey Rey,” which became the personal logo and watermark used on all of his photography and short films. A few months later, it also became the name of his company.

The Mind of Rey Rey is a multimedia & creative marketing brand that provides services worldwide. It was founded to help people, brands, and businesses grow and gain their own online presence. “We’re here for everyone. During the Covid-19 pandemic, while many people were out of work or losing clients, we were able to help them start, build, and / or expand their companies, while still helping artists and public figures gain the recognition they seek,” says Rey Rey.

Rey Rey Rodriguez remains sought after by many for his renowned commercial, fine art, street, dark, and combat sports photography and graphic art, his mastery of personal branding, and his unorthodox social media and marketing methods.

Heather Asiyanbi Helps Authors Write Their Stories with “Pens and Proof” Editing Services

Kivo Daily Staff on December 27, 2021

Seasoned community journalist, content writer, and editor Heather Asiyanbi works with authors to bring their vision to life. Through Pens and Proof editing services she works closely with authors from the concept to completion so their manuscripts are ready for formatting and publishing. Heather helps authors step out of their comfort zone by asking questions so they dig deep and produce work that resonates with readers long after they turn the final page.

Heather founded Pens and Proof in August 2020 as a side business after more than 20 years as a community journalist, editor, marketer, and public relations professional. In the end, however, she realized she derives her greatest joy by editing, coaching, and ghostwriting. In February 2021, she jumped at the opportunity to work Pens and Proof full time, and it was one of the best decisions she’s made thus far.

Heather edits children’s books and heavy adult memoirs from predominantly female authors, which can make her days an odd combination of serious emotional baggage lightened up by whimsical rhymes about teddy bears. To date, she has completed editing two anthologies, a dozen children’s stories, and three ghostwriting projects of between 30,000 and 50,000 words each.

While Heather has spent the most part of her adult life writing content, from feature stories to blog posts, marketing materials, and press releases, she got burned out, prompting her to shift her focus to editing. She later realized that she experiences a unique kind of satisfaction when helping authors polish their work before publication.

“Helping authors bring their stories fully to life is a feeling I struggle to describe. We work together to create a complete narrative that leaves their audiences happy they invested their time. To hear the joy in my clients’ voices when they hold a completed manuscript in their figurative hands makes every comma splice, each errant apostrophe, and all the contraction confusion absolutely worth the effort we pour into the work,” Heather said.

As part of her services, Heather also writes press releases for the authors she works with to help them market their books strategically. Her marketing and public relations experience enables her to empower her authors to take a bold approach to promoting their books, from tapping into social media channels to appearing in the local news and holding book signing events at local bookstores, among others.

Heather looks forward to the next couple of years as she continues to expand Pens and Proof. She envisions her business transforming into an independent publishing outfit that offers authors a one-stop shop for all their editing, coaching, ghostwriting, marketing, and public relations needs. Additionally, she plans to use Pens and Proof as an avenue for authors to learn how they can use their books to develop multiple streams of income.

To Finding Inner Peace and Happiness in Life

Kivo Daily Staff on December 27, 2021

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding – Albert Einstein

Inner peace is a soothing feeling that each individual in this world craves. A person with internal peace is calm and happy, both spiritually and physically. Surrounded by pessimistic ideologies, many people believe that the notion of inner peace is flawed as it is impossible to feel happy in chaos. Still, it is quite the opposite in reality. The problem here is that human beings usually rely on different circumstances to find their inner peace, only to feel disappointed later. Individuals such as the Armenian pastor, Ara Torosian, managed to find their inner peace and happiness amidst a chaotic time when the Iranian Revolution was at its peak.

The state where fear and restlessness exist, experiencing inner peace, might sound unrealistic and too good to be true, but it is possible to find inner peace and satisfaction in life. Born in January 1979 in Tehran, Ara believes that inner peace comes from within. It is not about the circumstances or different situations that can provide one with peace, but it is more about how they self-reflect and connect with their deepest feelings and emotions. Once they learn how to tap into it, they will be opening doors to peacefulness and tranquility. While growing up at the time of the Islamic Revolution, this Armenian from Iran not only experienced the eight-year-long Iraq-Iran wall, but in 2001, his father also passed away in an explosion. As any human being would react in a situation like this, there was a time in Torosian’s life when his fears started to haunt him. He would wonder why life was so unfair to him or why he was born in a country going through a devastating situation. Questions like these helped Ara realize that the answer for each problem exists in the Farsi Bible. Dedicating his whole life to Jesus, Ara found out that the Holy book was helping him find his purpose, joy, and salvation in life. In a stressful and chaotic situation like the Iranian Revolution, one might break, but Ara Torosian is not one of those individuals. Instead of letting his fears get the best of him, this pastor delved into his deepest feelings to find the reason for each situation as he believes self-awareness is the way to find inner peace.

Spreading love and kindness in the world can also bless one with inner peace. Torosian learned the act of compassion from his mother, who was an elementary school teacher. Amidst the pain and discomfort in the society around him, he observed how his mother was gleaming with positivity, evoking a sense of hope in the children. Learning greatly from his mother, he decided to help others by being kind. He says, “I am a Child of God who has vision and passion for people. I want to carry forward a legacy for the next generation to follow. I want to spread the love of God, instill hope within individuals and motivate them to trust and love God.”

During a lifetime, it is possible to encounter situations and meet different people who can have a long-lasting effect on someone during a lifetime. Ara always knew that God was looking out for him. He was sure about the fact that he had a greater purpose in life, a purpose to serve humanity. Taking this ideology forward, the 18-year-old Ara decided to attend a small Church in Iran, ready to pursue his career as a pastor. Following that, he moved to England to study theology to understand religion even more deeply. Ara was struggling greatly during this period, but he overcame each obstacle and fear. Manifesting change and holding onto his faith in God, in 2001, Ara was called to be a pastor and worked among refugees living in Turkey. Dealing with loving and talented children made him feel empowered and even more humbled to realize that God was finally showing Ara the ultimate purpose of his life.

Finding his inner peace and happiness, the loving pastor also introduced a Farsi Christian Music album in 2002 to guide the children towards God. While he always wished Farsi Christian programs and Music videos were of better quality and productions, his dream was to see Christian Music videos and Art programs to get global recognition. Not letting go of his ambitions, he arrived as a refugee in Los Angeles with his wife and soon started his YouTube career. As an executive producer and pastor, his only goal is to spread Jesus Christ’s message and help followers spread love, hope, faith, and peace in society.

Dr. Juli Mazi Recommends the Best Supplements for Better Digestive Health

Kivo Daily Staff on December 27, 2021

According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, approximately 70 million people in the United States suffer from at least one gastrointestinal (GI) tract disorder. While a healthy diet can go a long way toward preventing such disorders, naturopathic doctor Juli Mazi says that taking the right supplements can be a major boost to one’s digestive health as well.

In this article, we’ll take a look at Dr. Juli Mazi’s top recommendations regarding the best supplements for digestive health in order to help keep digestion functioning as effectively as possible.

Although there is no one-size-fits-all for supplementation, these are common deficiencies that can make a huge difference for those suffering with GI distress.

Probiotics

The “good bacteria” in your gut plays a highly important role in the digestive process. Probiotics help the body to absorb nutrients from food, and they are also the front line of the immune system.

According to Juli Mazi, one of the best ways to support the healthy bacteria in your digestive system is to take a quality probiotic. Probiotics are supplements that contain healthy, living bacteria that are able to aid in digestive health in addition to offering benefits such as strengthening your immune system and decreasing inflammation.

Along with taking a probiotic supplement, probiotics can also be found in certain yogurts and fermented foods and drinks such as sauerkraut and kombucha. Typical supplementation for probiotics ranges from 20-100 billion CFU daily.

Omega-3

Dr. Juli Mazi explains that omega-3 fatty acids are able to support better digestive health in two key ways.

For one, omega-3 serves as a lubricant for your digestive tract, helping prevent constipation. Omega-3 also works to help reduce digestive tract inflammation, helping prevent inflammation-related conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Omegas are actually anti-inflammatory for every single cell of the body, so they promote health for every body system and can help with overall reduction of symptoms. It’s best to take Omegas in the form of Fish Oils, and Dr. Mazi emphasizes that quality matters.

All animals, humans and fish included store their toxins in the fat cells, so when choosing a fish oil, it’s very important to choose one that is quality checked for toxins. This way, you know you’re getting the most therapeutic effects, and none of the potential toxins those fish have been exposed to in the ocean.

Vitamin D

In addition to helping support strong, healthy bones, immunity, mood, and hormone balance, Juli Mazi explains that a vitamin D supplement can be a great way to boost your digestive health as well.

Like Omega-3, vitamin D works to reduce digestive tract inflammation. Vitamin D also works to support and strengthen your body’s microbiome and support the good bacteria that aid in digestion.

The only natural source of vitamin D is sunlight, and in order to get optimal amounts of vitamin D from the sun, it requires 10 minutes of full-body, naked exposure to peak hours of sun per day.

Anyone who doesn’t receive this type of sun exposure will be deficient. A good starting dose is 5,000 IU daily of Vitamin D. As a fat-soluble vitamin, it’s important to monitor this one through blood labs. Ideal vitamin D on blood labs is ~75.

Vitamin C

Dr. Juli Mazi says that most people do not realize that the digestive process begins in the mouth when they are still chewing their food. By promoting healthy gums and teeth, vitamin C is able to improve this important part of the digestive process.

Vitamin C also makes it easier for your body to absorb iron – another essential ingredient for great digestive health. Another benefit of vitamin C is how helpful it is for peristalsis, which is the movement of the intestines.

For anyone suffering from constipation or gastroparesis, vitamin C can help.

Magnesium

Magnesium works to help the body metabolize protein, carbohydrates, and fat, and is, therefore, a helpful supplement when it comes to improving digestive health.

According to Juli Mazi, taking a magnesium supplement can help with digestive conditions such as heartburn, constipation, and indigestion. Magnesium is a very common deficiency, especially in people prone to anxiety.

Since anxiety is often linked to digestive upset, Magnesium can often help both. The best magnesium glycinate helps to achieve the supplement in your everyday diet. Ideal supplementation is 200 mg in the evening because magnesium has a calming effect, so it can also help promote sound sleep.

Renowned Cardiologist Dr. Monica Patel on Promoting Health at the Heart of Houston

Kivo Daily Staff on December 26, 2021

There is the usual adage that says, “not all heroes wear capes.” In Dr. Monica Patel‘s case, wearing a lab coat or scrubs is more likely. Focusing on preventing and advancing the science of detecting cardiovascular diseases, the brilliant doctor is unquestionably a modern-day hero.

Born on November 20, 1976, in Hoboken, New Jersey, Dr. Monica Patel realized early a desire to help. The medical community always inspired her. So after receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and Chemistry at Houston Baptist University as an Endowed Academic Scholar, she attended medical school.

Dr. Monica Patel studied at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. In 2003, she completed her Internal Medicine residency and Cardiology Fellowship at the McGovern Medical School, formerly known as The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) Medical School.

Armed with extensive knowledge and dedication to her craft, Monica breezed through her exams and became board-certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Echocardiography, and Nuclear Cardiology.

She has since built a reputation as a cardiologist with an exemplary bedside manner – interacting with patients at Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center and Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital. Her determination to improve her interactions led to her pursuit of academic medicine at the McGovern Medical School in 2010.

Her laudable drive made her a co-program director of the Cardiology Fellowship; and an associate professor where she heavily invests in the training of future cardiologists. She shares with her students the desire to prevent cardiovascular disease and a focus on advanced cardiovascular imaging, including echocardiography, vascular imaging, nuclear imaging, and cardiac Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans.

In June 2012, Dr. Monica Patel furthered her mission. She joined the PET center as a co-investigator of the CENTURY Health Study dedicated to combining pharmacologic and lifestyle treatment to prevent or reverse coronary heart disease. Under the center, Dr. Monic has volunteered in several medical mission trips to Guatemala and provided basic care for underserved communities.

Her exceptional work in her field has given her the distinction of the “Dean’s Teaching Excellence Award” three times. Dr. Monica Patel also graced the Texas MD’s “Heart of Houston” cover in November 2015.
