They also highlight emerging shot brands gaining traction and take a closer look at how the viral “WaterTok” phenomenon may have influenced Keurig Dr Pepper's acquisition of Dyla Brands. Show notes: 0:25: Take Two. Fun > Function. We Gotta Have More Ginger. Sturring The Pot. Thin Or Thick? Mike Takes A Hit. – The team kicks things off with behind-the-scenes banter, including a powdered drink spill mishap and Ray's failed frother. The hosts dive into PepsiCo's introduction of a prebiotic cola and debate its real consumer appeal, questioning whether health claims like “prebiotics” are more about marketing than meaningful function.

Convenience and quality don't always go hand in hand, but Tip Top Cocktails is changing that perception, one perfectly crafted drink at a time. Founded in 2019, Tip Top is an Atlanta-based brand known for its spirit-forward, bar-quality offerings. Childhood friends Yoni Reisman and Neal Cohen launched the company with a simple mission: make great cocktails more accessible, no bartender required. Tip Top's lineup includes time-honored classics like the Old Fashioned, Negroni, and Margarita, as well as modern favorites such as the Paper Plane, Penicillin, and Naked & Famous. Each cocktail is precisely mixed and served in a sleek 100 mL lowball-style can. The products are available in over 25 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., and carried by national retailers such as Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Gelson's Markets, and Total Wine & More. Amid a rapidly expanding market for RTD cocktails, Tip Top has earned high praise from The New York Times, Food & Wine, and other publications. Perhaps surprisingly, the company hasn't taken any institutional funding to date. In this episode, Yoni and Neal share how an idea sparked on the music festival circuit evolved into a fast-growing brand with national reach. Their journey is a case study in bootstrapping, brand discipline, and building loyalty through an unwavering commitment to quality and customer experience. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Neal Cohen & Yoni Reisman, Co-Founders, Tip Top Cocktails – The co-founders discuss how Tip Top's origins stem from Yoni's time in the music festival scene, recruiting award-winning bartender Miles Macquarrie to help develop the cocktails and how they emphasized authentic, balanced flavors and supported that with retro-inspired branding and educational elements like listing ingredients. Neal and Yoni also talk about Tip Top's collaborations with renowned bartenders such as Sam Ross and Joaquín Simó and how it reinforced the brand's credibility and dedication to cocktail culture. They also explain how Tip Top has relied on grassroots marketing, standout packaging, and word-of-mouth to build its brand, with its 100 mL can seen as both stylish and practical and how the company has earned respect within the hospitality industry and among professional bartenders. They explain why they continue to personally taste each batch of cocktails and have scrapped full runs when standards weren't met and how “building a brand people would truly miss” if it left the market is their North Star.

In this episode of the Everyday Black Men podcast, the crew is joined by Kwame Terra, who walked 2 million steps in 30 days and aims to revolutionize Black health through his bEHR Health app. Kwame explains how he balanced building his company while walking up to 80 miles a day, prompting Reed to ask about his soundtrack and Sham to question the sanity of the feat. The group dives into Black health disparities, with Kwame emphasizing that 80% of wellness is how you live, not genetics or medicine, and citing that even a 64-year-old woman can work on her fitness enough to be on track for a million steps by herself. Kwame indulges the crew with Riker asking how a plant-based living has helped Kwame mentally, and The Black Libertarian reflects on society's resistance to prioritizing self-improvement. Kwame leaves the crew with a challenge: reimagine your morning routine, skip processed foods, and move toward health goals with intention and community, highlighting the potential for personal growth and empowerment in this journey. The episode wraps with thoughts on changing Black morning routines, building community through fitness, and Kwame's upcoming app launch in October—which puts us one step closer to covering the distance to the moon.LinksLinktree: bit.ly/4mguF9S IG: bit.ly/4oc4vXzWebsite: bit.ly/4fvvoC5Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

Welcome! And thank you for listening. Most of us prefer a steady path—training just enough, eating just enough, and aiming for just enough discomfort to grow without getting hurt. But real growth often lives at the edges—whether it's altitude, mileage, or life itself. That's where the lessons tend to be clearer, sharper, and sometimes, more painful. Today's podcast is about testing limits—about racing at 12,000 feet, facing unexpected setbacks, and learning the importance of mobility, preparation, and focusing on what we can control. We'll explore ATP, AMPK, how troubleshooting in training can prepare us for bigger goals ahead. It's about choosing to see challenges not as failures, but as valuable data on the journey to something greater.

If 97% of Us Are Fiber Deficient… Why Isn't Anyone Talking About It? No one's talking about the real nutrition emergency: fiber. Fiber deficiency is a public health crisis.

Yerba Madre is a brand nearly synonymous with its namesake ingredient. But in a country where most consumers have never even heard of yerba mate, a caffeine-laden herbal infusion native to South America, how do you build a household name around it? Guiding that vision is Ben Mand, who was named CEO of Yerba Madre in March 2024. Formerly known as Guayakí, the company has been pioneering yerba mate-based beverages since 1996, offering both loose-leaf and ready-to-drink formats. Today, the brand generates nearly $200 million in annual sales and is stocked in natural and conventional retailers nationwide. In this episode, Ben shares how Yerba Madre is evolving beyond its West Coast roots with a bold mission: to introduce yerba mate to the 96% of Americans who still don't know what it is. But this is about more than a beverage. Ben sees it as an opportunity to reshape how people think about clean, plant-based energy. He discusses the balance between visionary leadership and operational discipline, reigniting innovation, thinking like a founder, and scaling responsibly all while remaining rooted in the company's deeper mission: advancing regenerative agriculture in South America and building a brand that stands for purpose, authenticity, and cultural respect. Note: This episode was recorded during the breakdown of our BevNET Live Summer 2025 event and you may hear some background clatter. Our apologies for the occasional bang or boom. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Ben Mand, CEO, Yerba Madre – Ben talks about the history of Yerba Madre and why its rebrand from Guayaki reflects its mission more clearly via a name that's more inclusive and easier for consumers to pronounce. He also highlights the functional benefits of yerba mate and emphasizes the company's regenerative business model that supports the environment and indigenous communities. Ben discusses Yerba Madre's consumer base, which is made up of primarily younger, health-conscious individuals who seek natural energy and live active lifestyles and how word-of-mouth and the simplified brand name help grow awareness. He also explains how the company is targeting convenience stores, natural retailers, and club stores to reach new consumers and how its innovation team is enhancing the brand's appeal by identifying trends and creating accessible, flavor-forward products that broaden the appeal of yerba mate. Ben also talks about how he leads with purpose and passion, using his humble roots to build company culture and why he views business as a key driver of positive social and environmental change.

From Bacon-Lover to Vegan: My Unlikely Journey to Better Health “My parents are retired dairy and cattle farmers, and I farmed pigs and chickens myself. I was also an avid fisherman. Veganism was not remotely appealing to me. In fact, I ridiculed it… I was obese (305 pounds), with prediabetes, high cholesterol, inflammation, frequent chest pain, gout, acid reflux, arthritis, erectile dysfunction, and constant headaches.” Listen to this success story from Craig Milton at ForksOverKnives.com #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #wfpb #wholefoodplantbased #plantbaseddiet #erectiledisfunction #gout #acidreflux #prediabetes #ethicalvegan ========================== Original post:  https://www.forksoverknives.com/success-stories/from-bacon-lover-to-vegan-my-unlikely-journey-to-better-health/  ========================== Related Episodes:  1104: The Beginner's Guide to a Whole-Food, Plant-Based Diet (Encore) https://plantbasedbriefing.libsyn.com/1104-the-beginners-guide-to-a-whole-food-plant-based-diet-encore-by-courtney-davison-at-forksoverknivescom    Use search feature at https://www.plantbasedbriefing.com/episodes-search     ========================= Forks Over Knives Documentary: https://www.forksoverknives.com/the-film/  =========================== Forks Over Knives was founded following the release of the world-famous documentary Forks Over Knives in 2011, showing people how to regain control of their health and their lives with a plant-based diet.

What happens when a high-profile protein bar brand suddenly dives into frozen seafood? Naturally, the industry takes notice—and chaos ensues. In this episode, the hosts unpack David's unexpected launch of raw frozen cod, a move that seems both strategic and defiant, sparking intense debate across the CPG world. They also delve into the debut of Love Potion, a new ready-to-drink espresso martini from “Bachelor in Paradise” alum Justin Glaze, exploring what it reveals about the saturated, and increasingly unpredictable, landscape of celebrity-backed beverages. Show notes: 0:35: Marion Pen? A Slippery Stunt? Wrong Place, Wrong Time? Gold & Pecans. Strawberry Salt! – Mike is OOO, so naturally the hosts wonder if he's back in the slammer. They dive into David's introduction of a new raw, frozen cod product and whether it's a tongue-in-cheek response to critics of processed foods or a genuine product extension. The team highlights upcoming Taste Radio meetups in Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco, and London, inviting listeners to connect in person. Ray voices his frustration over the glut of RTD espresso martinis flooding the market, especially a new launch from a reality TV star. The hosts question the staying power of yet another celebrity-backed booze brand, while John shares insights on how emerging products can rise above the noise. Ray also unboxes a quirky PR gift from Snickers and samples Jacobsen Salt Co.'s new Oishii strawberry-infused salt. Meanwhile, Jacqui and John spotlight Bao Blast, a new baobab fruit juice drink, and Ray encourages entrepreneurs to send in product samples for a shot at being featured in future episodes.

This episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay is a powerful Five Minute Friday focused on one of the most underrated beauty nutrients: protein. As a facial plastic surgeon and longevity expert, Dr. Kay unpacks why protein is essential for glowing skin, collagen support, and lasting results from aesthetic treatments. Whether you're investing in lasers, Botox, or biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse, your treatments can only go so far without the internal building blocks your body needs to regenerate — and protein is at the core. Dr. Kay explains the difference between complete and incomplete proteins, how to structure your intake throughout the day, and why women over 40, those on GLP-1s, and patients navigating menopause must prioritize this macronutrient. You'll learn how protein influences your skin's ability to respond to injectables, maintain facial volume, and repair after treatments like microneedling or threads. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to elevate their beauty and wellness game from the inside out. Your beauty Rx this week: protein, protein, protein. Think of it as your most powerful internal skincare step.

What if stress didn't have to control how you feel—and you had simple tools to change it, starting today? If you've been enjoying The Health Feast, I'd be so grateful if you left a quick review on Apple Podcasts. It helps others find the show—and keeps this Feast growing. Dr. Robyn Tiger knows this firsthand. Years ago, she was a practicing radiologist with what looked like a perfect life on paper—two kids, a great career, a supportive husband. But behind the scenes, her body was breaking down. Migraines, digestive issues, numbness, anxiety… she went to specialists, ran every test, and took every medication. Nothing helped. The real diagnosis? Chronic stress. In this powerful conversation, we dive into Robyn's journey of healing and how she now helps others reclaim their health through simple, science-backed tools. Robyn is a double board-certified physician, certified yoga therapist, life coach, and the founder of StressFreeMD. I met her through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, where she is a leading expert on mind body medicine, and leads breathwork, yoga, and mindfulness sessions. In this episode, we discuss: The hidden ways chronic stress shows up in the body (and why 90% of symptoms seen in primary care have stress as a root cause) Emotional buffering—why we numb stress with food, alcohol, or overwork, and how to break the cycle The yoga class that shifted everything for Robyn—and why it worked Why physician burnout is not a personal failing, but a systemic issue Practical, evidence-based tools you can use to feel better now (and yes, she guides us through one of them in the episode!) Robyn's story is a reminder that feeling better isn't just possible—it's a choice. And sometimes, the first step is simply learning how to breathe again. Live Well and RAK ON, Dr. Rak

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   We all seem to chase balance.  Not too much and not too little.  The middle tends to be more populated in the middle of the bell curve or the early adopters curve.  The extremes tend to have more risk but they also tend to be the areas of maximal growth potential.  The middle grounders are often those that play it safe.  When it comes to health, it is the moderation goal.  When it comes to exercise, it is the just enough goal.   However, most people are worried about "not enough of".  Most lifestyle diseases occur with "too much of" The potential for learning is also greatest at both ends of the curve.   Today's podcast is the potential benefit of not too much  and how one might determine if you suffer from too much or too little potentials.  I hope you enjoy the listen.  Thanks for listening.  If you would like to know more about our practice, please visit the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email me  at jami@doctordulaney.com Nutrition consults: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training: nathan@doctordulaney.com Book recommendation: The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Water distiller: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney.  discount code cleanwaterforsophie  

How did a 180-year-old Italian digestif become one of America's most beloved bar staples? Though Fernet-Branca has enjoyed a storied legacy in Europe since its creation in 1845, it remained a niche curiosity in the United States for much of its life. The intensely bitter, herbal liqueur was appreciated only by the most adventurous palates. Today, however, it's a fixture behind the bar from upscale cocktail lounges to neighborhood dive bars, most often knocked back in shot form and celebrated for its distinct flavor profile. Who better to trace Fernet-Branca's unlikely rise than Edoardo Branca, managing director of Branca USA and a sixth-generation member of the family behind the brand? We caught up with Edoardo at spirits industry trade show Bar Convent Brooklyn to talk about how Fernet-Branca earned its cult status in the U.S. He shared insights on the brand's roots, its journey from obscure digestif to bartender favorite, and how the company is carefully evolving to stay relevant in a fast-changing drinks culture. From navigating pricing pressures to expanding the Branca USA portfolio with modern, consumer-focused offerings, Edoardo explains how he is stewarding a legacy while embracing innovation. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Edoardo Branca, Managing Director, Branca USA – Eduardo talks about his journey from Milan (he's an Inter fan) to Southern California and ultimately to New York. He also discusses his current role in which he oversees U.S. operations and highlights the most personally rewarding aspect of his job. Edorado explains how Fernet Branca became popular within the bartender community after gaining traction as a popular shot in 1990s San Francisco, the emotional resonance many have with their first Fernet experience and reflects on the global cultural differences in how it's consumed. He acknowledges generational shifts and concerns about declining alcohol consumption among younger drinkers, but expresses confidence that appreciation for spirits and bar culture will mature with age and experience. Edorado also talks about the growing Branca portfolio, noting that lower-ABV products like Antica Formula vermouth align with growing health-conscious trends and also shares his philosophy on mergers and acquisitions. Brands in this episode: Fernet-Branca, Jägermeister, Jameson, Antica Formula

A hip-hop icon. A lifelong bond. A shared passion for craft spirits. And a warehouse full of aged whiskey. When these elements came together, they gave rise to Amber & Opal, a premium honey botanical rye whiskey that's turning heads in the spirits industry. Launched in 2024, Amber & Opal was co-founded by Ja Rule, Herb Rice, Sandy Sandiford, and Kelvin Barton. A rye whiskey blended with orange blossom honey and an elegant mix of botanicals, including cinnamon, fig, ginger, and black tea, the spirit was crafted to bridge worlds: approachable for newcomers, yet complex enough to intrigue seasoned whiskey enthusiasts. At the buzzing Amber & Opal booth during the 2025 Bar Convent Brooklyn trade show in June, Ja, Herb, and Sandy shared insights into the brand's origin story and the meaning behind its evocative name. They also discuss the intentional, measured way they're leveraging Ja's star power and why they are confident that the flavor-forward whiskey has the potential to redefine what modern spirits can be. Show notes: 0:25: Ja Rule, Herb Rice & Sandy Sandiford, Co-Founders, Amber & Opal – Ray learns how Ja Rule signs checks before the musician and entrepreneur explains why Amber & Opal shouldn't be labeled a “celebrity brand,” and why the founding team was advised against making a flavored whiskey. Herb talks about how product development was focused on flavor, accessibility and innovation, and how in a tequila-saturated market, it is strategically positioned to stand out. The team also discusses how the package and label design reflects an emphasis on inclusivity and storytelling before sharing a sample of the whiskey with Ray, who offers his take on its taste and potential appeal.
