GNC Enters Exclusive Partnership with Sports Nutrition Brand

GNC Enters Exclusive Partnership with Sports Nutrition Brand – WholeFoods Magazine

College Station, TX—Podium Nutrition has entered into an exclusive retail partnership with GNC, according to a press release. Podium will be available online at GNC.com and in all GNC stores across the United States.

Podium was formed by five-time CrossFit champion Mat Fraser, “The Buttery Bros” Heber Cannon and Marston Sawyers, Paul Haverland, and Jeremy Osborne. It launched on its own website earlier this month, with products FUSE (pre-workout), Hydro+Salt (BCAA and electrolyte combo), and whey protein in several flavors. Podium offers full transparency, to avoid issues with competitive athlete testing protocols.

“Podium is about pursuing and being your best self, whether you’re seeking a physical podium or not,” Fraser said in the press release. “This is the approach we’re taking with the brand, and so we wanted to partner with the top retailer in our industry to be part of our launch.”

The Podium team has been working with GNC for nearly a year to bring this partnership to fruition.

“I’ve worked with GNC for more than a decade, and I’ve never witnessed so much focus and excitement around a brand,” Haverland said. “We’re working closely with a dedicated team within both companies to make Podium one of the biggest launches in industry history.”

Podium sponsors include Justin Medeiros, winner of the 2021 NOBULL CrossFit Games and reigning “Fittest Man on Earth,” the press release says, as well as online CrossFit sensation Craig Richey. The two will collaborate with the team of founders to offer additional products and flavors that will become available throughout the next year.

Josh Burris, Chief Executive Officer at GNC, adds, “We are thrilled to launch this exclusive partnership with Podium to bring its line of premium nutritional products designed by athletes, for athletes, to GNC shelves across the country. At GNC, we are dedicated to helping consumers Live Well and crush their personal goals, and are excited by Podium’s shared alignment with this vision. This launch will strengthen our ability to provide athletes with the support they need to reach their optimal performance.”

Dr. Alejandro Cravioto, the committee’s chair, said that people with compromised immune systems “need a third dose as an additional priming process so that they’re fully protected.” The officials also recommended a third vaccine ...

How health care workers went from ‘heroes to villains’ – NBC News

Dr. Sheryl Recinos’ patient refused to accept her diagnosis of Covid-19. Her cough was because of Recinos’ perfume, the patient insisted, certain that her positive Covid-19 test could not be correct. Recinos, a family medicine hospitalist in California, was not wearing perfume. The test result, Recinos told her patient, was accurate. The interaction, in summer 2020, was an outlier at the time. But in recent months, such conversations have become more common. Recinos has treated people who, two weeks into hospital stays for Covid-related breathing struggles, still do not believe they have the coronavirus. She has had patients who have questioned her judgment, patients who have demanded to be given the same medications that former President Donald Trump received when he had Covid and family members of patients who have screamed at her for something as simple as giving their loved ones oxygen, a necessary treatment that they argue is doing more harm than good. “It’s baffling. I’...
