LifeWave Helps Showcase Modern Approach to Wellness



In much of the world, the idea of wellness has long been roughly the same as the concept of being free from illness. While this is certainly a key component of being well, the modern reimagining of wellness has developed past this point, to an interpretation that takes a more holistic idea of wellbeing into account. 

With this framework in mind, the CEO developed the line of wellness products for which his company has become known — its phototherapy patches. These topically applied patches utilize the power of specific wavelengths of light to reflect energy into a user’s body. Depending on the placement and design of the patch, each one can have different wellness benefits. For instance, the first patch designed by the company, the Energy Enhancer Patch, was created to help promote energy levels and increase a user’s stamina. They’ve also found great success in helping athletes achieve personal bests in competition.


Company background
To better understand the ways in which the company operates, it’s helpful to first look at its history to see how it came about. LifeWave was founded in 2004 by CEO David Schmidt. At that time, the CEO had already made a name for himself through more than 30 years of work in the field of business and development. With an undergraduate degree in Management Information Systems and Biology from Pace University, he spent much of his early professional life pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors in the fields of manufacturing and product development. 

Schmidt’s efforts in this area included work to design new ways to synthesize elements, a concept for a bladeless turbine, and even a combustion rocket engine. Based on the strength of these ideas he was invited to work on the Navy’s next generation of mini-subs. David’s work on this project centered around the goal of helping service members maintain high levels of energy without the need for stimulants or other chemicals. In this pursuit, he was motivated by finding a method that was effective but didn’t come with unwanted side effects or negative health consequences.





Fighting aging
A decline in wellness is not caused solely by disease or other conditions, it can also be the natural result of aging. While aging is, of course, a normal part of life, there’s plenty of interest these days going towards how we can help to mitigate the negative aspects of the process. As many people are living longer, they’re looking for ways to increase the longevity of their wellness rather than just their overall age.

To address this issue, LifeWave has conducted innovative research into an area of aging that has fascinated scientists for decades — stem cells. As our normal cells age, they can be replaced via the use of stem cells, however, stem cells become less active over time, causing many of the issues we associate with aging. 
The wellness company has worked to address this shortfall in modern wellness through the invention of its X39 patch. This patch works to activate the body’s existing stem cells and help improve processes such as wound healing, skin regeneration, and more. It not only represents a huge leap forward for anti-aging research, but it also shows how the company is keeping at the forefront of the modern wellness movement. 




LifeWave is here to help people feel better, look younger, and lead more joyful lives through wellness products that tap into the body’s natural energy and resiliency, and through business opportunities that inspire personal and professional fulfillment.

Allianz PNB unveils new Bikeyard at the heart of BGC


Hellish traffic, the need for greater mobility, and greater health consciousness have combined to drive the growing popularity of biking in the Philippines. The number of bikers grew at the height of the Covid-19 lockdowns when bicycles were one of the few allowed modes of transportation, but Filipinos have kept pedaling on even with the restrictions lifted, having discovered the innate joys of biking. Whether it’s to go to the office, to do chores, or to discover Metro Manila’s hidden wonders, biking is definitely here to stay.

Located along 28th Avenue, Lane O, The Bikeyard is an environmentally-friendly place for people to meet up for rides, discuss hot routes, plan two-wheeled adventures or simply take a breather from pedaling. Standing out amidst the buildings that dot BGC, it is a landmark in itself. The park’s well-thought-out design features bike amenities such as elevated bike racks and tables that can double as bike parking built from recycled and biodegradable material, reflecting Allianz PNB’s sustainability commitment.
 
Built not just for bikers but for the entire BGC community, The Bikeyard is part of the company’s award-winning Ride Safe campaign, which aims to support Filipino’s growing interest in healthy and carbon-free transport by offering simple, fair, and sustainable solutions. By making biking fun and convenient, it helps encourage more Filipinos to embrace biking as their preferred mode of transportation, thereby helping lower their carbon footprint.
 
Through its Ride Safe campaign, the company has already donated artistic and functional bike racks to four major parks in the City of Manila, and the country’s first solar-powered bike pitstop in San Juan.

Earlier this year, Allianz PNB was recognized as the #1 insurance brand in the world for the third straight year by the global Interbrand rankings. More recently, Allianz PNB was also named as the most sustainable insurer in the world by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, a testament to the company’s adherence to Environmental, Social Inclusion, and Governance standards. This speaks to the company’s commitment to sustainability, which includes plans for youth empowerment, financial inclusion, and sustainable product development. 
 
“Biking is such an underrated activity and I am glad to see more and more Filipinos taking interest. During the pandemic, I saw cities build bike lanes to protect bikers. This inspired us to think of how to support this.” ~Alexander Grenz, Allianz PNB President and CEO

The various projects in Metro Manila, he said, reflects Allianz PNB’s efforts to help provide environmental solutions, adding that “sustainability is in our DNA.”

Next time you’re thinking of going around BGC, consider taking a ride on your trusty bike and drop by The Bikeyard. Not only will you lessen your carbon footprint, but you’re also doing something that’s great for your health.

The Eco-friendly Cleaning Service - Cleen and Green!

 


Mabel Amante-Villena and husband, Papillon Villena - the Villena's aspiring business entrepreneurs are first and foremost dutiful parents who strive to always nurture their son in the safest space possible. Accustomed to a standard level of cleanliness, they became aware, while visiting their home in the Philippines, of the need to create a service lacking in Batangas. The incident happened when Mabel's husband had an allergic reaction to dust and pollen in the surroundings. Concerned for her family, she suddenly realized that a cleaning service was needed which could provide the people with professional quality cleaning. Thus, they created a service like no other before-one that fully gives importance to kid and pet safety and  those with sensitivities and allergies all while being completely environment-friendly. They then discovered a plant-based cleaning solution that is made from neem  which is known for its antimicrobial, antiparasitic and anti-viral benefits.




Their vision was materialized as what we now know as Cleen and Green, the eco-friendly cleaning service, and which we also love today. Cleen and Green has impressed everyone with their advanced use of plant-based, non-toxic, non-chemical cleaning solutions, modern cleaning technology and very efficient cleaners that can manage from ceiling, wall to floor. They are also known for doing high ceiling cleaning because of their professional cleaners with complete cleaning tools including scaffoldings and high ladders. Cleen and Green has brought great development to the community since its inception and has inspired all with their mission towards greatness. This company has now become a force of nature in the industry pushing beyond expectations and advancing to new territories. Starting out with their home with only three cleaners, now they have grown to a good number of cleaners currently assigned to four different locations (Lipa, Cavite, Laguna and Quezon City) in a span of just one year. Their advancement is clear, as well as their innovative franchise model, actively partnering with overseas Filipinos.  It leads us now to wonder how much bigger will the success be for C&G in the near future.
