Vibrant Wellness introduces the Toxin Genetics Test, a cutting-edge addition to its suite of advanced functional lab tests. This revolutionary tool assesses genetic biomarkers pivotal to the body’s detox process, aiding healthcare professionals in designing individualized detoxification plans.
SANTA CLARA, Calif., September 22, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Vibrant Wellness, a pioneer in advanced functional lab testing, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking new product: the Vibrant Wellness Toxin Genetics Test. This innovative lab test is the latest addition to Vibrant’s comprehensive menu of tests designed to identify potential health risks and guide personalized healthcare solutions.
“With the Toxin Genetics Lab test, we’ve made a significant stride in the field of personalized medicine,” said lab director Dr. Mervyn Sahud. “This new tool offers a unique chance for healthcare professionals to not only assess toxic burden but also design effective detoxification protocols based on each individual’s unique genetic makeup.”
This revolutionary test works by assessing specific genetic biomarkers related to the body’s metabolic detoxification process. Certain genes play a crucial role in detoxifying the body, and abnormalities in these genes may lead to an impaired detoxification process. This impairment has been linked to various health conditions, including cancer, autism, Parkinson’s disease, fibromyalgia, and immune dysfunction syndrome.
The Toxin Genetics Test is not the only tool Vibrant offers related to toxicity. The company’s portfolio of advanced functional lab tests also includes assessments for environmental toxins, heavy metals, mycotoxins, PFAS chemicals, and more.
Vibrant Wellness testing is the gold standard of accuracy in the functional lab testing industry, utilizing proprietary 3Dense microarray technology and mass spectrometry for higher sensitivity, specificity, and scalability.
“With the launch of the Toxins Genetics Lab Test, we further affirm our commitment to enable healthcare providers to discover the root of patient health issues,” Dr. Sahud continued. “Through our precision lab tests, we aim to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy vibrant health and longevity, based on testing — not guessing.”
About Vibrant Wellness: Vibrant Wellness is a leading biotech company based in Santa Clara, California. As a CAP-accredited and CLIA-certified organization, Vibrant delivers life-transforming lab testing that empowers health and wellness providers to identify the root causes of patient health issues. Leading the charge in modern medicine and research, Vibrant provides personalized health analytics using cutting-edge, high-quality technology.

The 2023 JCC Maccabi Games® & Access, hosted by the David Posnack Jewish Community Center (DPJCC) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, have concluded with resounding success and heartfelt gratitude to the community that made it all possible. This week-long celebration of sports, camaraderie, and inclusivity has left a lasting impact, thanks to the dedicated efforts of our generous supporters.
Close to 2,000 Jewish teen athletes aged 12-16, representing communities worldwide, gathered in Fort Lauderdale to experience the joy of sports and the power of inclusion. The Games, presented by the JCC Association of North America, offered an unforgettable Olympic-style experience filled with competitions, opening and closing ceremonies, community service, social and cultural events, and opportunities to create Jewish connections that will last a lifetime.
One of the highlights of this year’s event was the introduction of JCC Maccabi Access, brought to you by UKG and presented by the Posnack Family Foundation. This program is designed to provide athletes aged 12-18 with intellectual and developmental disabilities an inclusive Maccabi experience. This three-day program, held in conjunction with the 2023 JCC Maccabi Games®, exemplified the event’s commitment to inclusivity and diversity.
Scott Ehrlich, CEO of the David Posnack Jewish Community Center, reflected on the Games, stating, “We were overjoyed to welcome Jewish athletes from all corners of the world to Broward County for the 2023 JCC Maccabi® Games & Access. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to our JCC Maccabi Team led by our Co-Chairs, Lori and Mitch Green, Debby and Dennis Eisinger, Davia and Jim Mazur, and Missy and Dan Longman. Their unwavering commitment contributed significantly to establishing an atmosphere that nurtured camaraderie, inclusiveness, and the genuine essence of the Games.”
The Games’ success was significantly bolstered by the support of honorary co-chairs Scott Scherr, founder of Ultimate Software, and Scot Hunter, co-founder of Emerald Multi-Family Office. Their encouragement to business owners and the backing of corporate and community partners played a pivotal role in the event’s success.
Supporting Corporate Sponsors:
The 2023 JCC Maccabi Games® & Access were not just about competition; they were also about giving back to the community. The JCC Cares Mitzvah Projects showcased the spirit of service, assembling over 1,000 Rosh Hashanah food baskets for Goodman JFS Seniors and Holocaust Survivors, donating over 2,500 pairs of new sneakers to students, in partnership with Children’s Services Council of Broward County, and repurposing 340 medals for the “We Finish Together” organization, spreading kindness to ill children and adults in hospitals.
Among the highlights:
As the Games came to a close, the resounding message was one of unity, inclusivity, and the power of community. The 2023 JCC Maccabi Games® & Access will be remembered not only for the athletic achievements but also for the lasting friendships, cultural exchanges, and shared experiences that will continue to enrich the lives of all those who participated.

Strategic Merger will Enable Integrated Emergency Medicine Specialists to Leverage Emergency Care Partner’s Resources for Emergency Department Services and Growth.
PENSACOLA, Fla., September 21, 2023 (Newswire.com)

Emergency Care Partners (“ECP”), a leading national physician-owned emergency medicine service provider, announced today the completion of a strategic merger with Integrated Emergency Medicine Specialists (“IEMS”). IEMS has served the Naples, FL, community since 2015, providing premier emergency department management services to its partner hospitals.
IEMS will continue a service-first approach to support its client emergency departments while leveraging ECP’s unique model of combining local physician equity partnerships and a differentiated clinical analytics platform focused on high-quality patient care.
ECP Chief Executive Officer, Bill Yarbrough, said, “We are very excited to welcome IEMS and their providers as a regional physician group practice of Emergency Care Partners. Their strong clinical leadership and reputation in the local community make them an ideal addition to our national group partnership of physician practices. We are excited to work with Dr. Brown to leverage our resources to deepen their relationships with key health system partners and continue to grow their local practice.
The ECP physician partnership model now serves 56 clinical locations, supported by a combined clinical workforce of more than 1,000 physicians and advanced practice providers, treating 1.4 million patients annually.
ECP is backed by financial sponsors Varsity Healthcare Partners (“VHP”) and Regal Healthcare Capital Partners (“Regal”).
“This partnership allows us to leverage ECP’s infrastructure and resources to continue to deliver the highest quality care and experiences to our patients and strengthen our health system partnerships in Southwest Florida,” said IEMS President, Dr. Hunter Brown, D.O.
Massumi + Consoli LLP and Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP acted as legal advisers to ECP and VHP, while Dean Mead acted as legal advisors to IEMS.
