Optimizing Women's Health
"In a world where women's reproductive health often takes a backseat, it is crucial to advocate for policies and systems that prioritize comprehensive care," Alpheratz Jose-Morano said.
In as much as women's roles have evolved through the centuries, women's health needs to also evolve through different life stages—puberty, reproductive years, pregnancy, menopause, and aging. Within each phase, females may encounter changes to their health. Hence, women are therefore advised to embrace these changes to take charge of their health.
Jose-Morano addressed vital topics such as access to comprehensive healthcare, education and awareness, nutrition and lifestyle choices, mental health support, fertility awareness, communication with healthcare providers, and community support to empower women to take charge of their health with confidence and knowledge.
Furthermore, regular gynecological check-ups are vital for early detection of health issues and overall reproductive health. Early detection and consistent care may help maintain a healthy body and overall outcomes. She said, "personally every woman should ensure that physical health is a top priority by eating healthy and balanced diet, spending time for physical activity or regular exercise, and avoiding things that can be harmful such as cigarettes and alcohol."
This approach will not only benefit women but will also strengthen the community, making every resource accessible to all women who need to thrive. She said that delving into this creates a culture of awareness and support for all women.
Synergy in Nutrition
One of the topics discussed was synergy in nutrition. Mary Rose Del Rio noted that this concept resonates with active men and women who face the demands of a busy lifestyle. She emphasizes the importance of viewing nutrition as a foundation for overall wellness, as the foods we consume can affect our mood, cognitive function, and emotional stability.
Mary Rose highlights how specific wellness packs can support these aspects of health. For instance, the Immunity Pack can bolster digestive health and maintain the immune system, which is important for professionals navigating a demanding lifestyle. The Athlete Pack provides a powerful combination of products that support the body during strenuous training, while the Cardio Pack is tailored to maintain cardiovascular health, crucial for overall vitality. Additionally, the Basic Wellness Pack offers essential supplements that promote overall health and vitality, making it an excellent part of a daily routine for anyone focused on maintaining emotional resilience and mental stability.
She stresses the importance of balance in their diet, as well as nutrient synergy, quality nutrition, quality sleep, regular exercise, stress management, and hydration for maintaining heart health, athletic performance, immunity, and digestion, thus improving the quality of life for both men and women.
Foundations of Family Health
Rio Santiago expounded on the nutritional needs of women across different stages, from adolescence through menopause and beyond. She mentioned, Filipinos in general have a habit of not prioritizing their own health. In Filipino language, "isusubo nalang, ibibigay pa sa anak." But there is good news, in these present times, more and more Filipinos are having this paradigm shift to prioritize self-care so that they can take care of others especially their families.
Santiago aims to empower women to make wise choices for their families and for themselves.
With Dr. Sinnott, Rio Santiago, Alpheratz Jose-Morano, and Ms. Del Rio, participants had an engaging session where they had the opportunity to ask questions. Additionally, the official launch of the 28-day Fat Loss Challenge 2024 was announced, concluding with exciting prizes through a raffle. All insights gained serve as valuable reminders of how informed health choices and the power of collective action are important. Indeed, we can inspire a healthier future, equipping everyone with the knowledge and resources necessary to thrive.
USANA's inaugural health symposium, focused on the importance of supplementation and wellness, first took place last March as a private event. Unlike that event, the recent symposium was open to the public, aiming to promote the significance of innovation and scientific research in overall wellness.

Health Enthusiasts and Experts Unite at the USANA Health Symposium
Faithful to Hublot's 'Art of Fusion', the brilliant artist and designer Samuel Ross takes his creativity to new heights through considered and accomplished work involving a variety of materials and colours. This new edition of the Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A by Samuel Ross, presented during Miami Art Week, embodies this constantly evolving approach.

NYON, Switzerland , Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For 44 years, Hublot has been incessantly innovating, pushing the technical and aesthetic boundaries of its models. A subtle balance between watchmaking expertise and a vision of the future, Hublot timepieces are stunningly contemporary. This success has been made possible by cutting-edge research into materials and collaborations with some of the world's leading artists and designers. Samuel Ross has spectacularly combined these two aspects.
Artist and Designer Samuel Ross has defined his perspective through the arts, through developing architecture for the body. Through founding both companies A-Cold-Wall***, since 2015, and SR_A since 2019, Ross has pioneered a signature design language that has translated to immersive, radical collaborations, developing and establishing a global, esteemed cult audience. This has been achieved by developing a new millennial perspective in luxury goods, the arts and fashion through his European atelier SR_A - co-founded in the same year he was awarded the Hublot Design Prize.
In 2020, to celebrate the watchmaker's 40th anniversary, the artist unveiled the REFORM sculpture, which inspired the design of the Big Bang Tourbillon Samuel Ross, the first collaboration between Samuel Ross and Hublot on a timepiece. The model expresses the artist's love of colour and geometry, and especially a shared passion for the 'fusion' of materials, one of the Hublot brand's hallmarks.
This pioneering model led to the new Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A by Samuel Ross being unveiled during Miami Art Week. Having worked with shades of orange and green, the artist chose to redefine the materials used, while introducing a new chromatic variation based around the colour blue.
Retaining its 44 mm diameter and 13.75 mm thickness, the emblematic Big Bang case features a honeycomb pattern in a new grey finish that extends to the movement. Highlighted by a two-tone finish on the bezel—satin finish on the top and a shiny microblasted finish on the side—it is completed with hands and hour markers enhanced by two shades of blue, one dark and one light. The lighter shade also adorns the crown moulding. The 3 o'clock-9 o'clock flanks and the bezel lugs are made from a frosted grey carbon, while the dial is in sapphire. As with the two previous versions, the Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A by Samuel Ross is powered by the Manufacture calibre HUB6035, whose 264 components include a self-winding micro-rotor and, naturally, a skeleton tourbillon visible at 6 o'clock. The power reserve is 72 hours. The flexible rubber strap is finished in the dark blue already featured on the minute hand and hour markers and is perforated with the same honeycomb motif as the case. It can be adjusted thanks to a clasp that has also been redesigned.
Only 50 examples of this new Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A by Samuel Ross will be available for sale, each presented in a specially designed collector's box.
By reflecting on how to use the latest technology and materials as tools to offer a contemporary vision of watchmaking that focusses on people, surprising them with original details or bringing a smile to their face with a touch of playful colour, we are trying to create a design that speaks a universal language that is both elegant and simple to understand. I look forward to continuing to work alongside Hublot Manufacture and its teams."

HUBLOT
Hublot is a Swiss watch manufacturer founded in 1980 and based in Nyon. For its first ever timepiece, this fundamentally disruptive company combined gold with a rubber strap in a case with a design inspired by a ship's porthole (hublot in French). Thus, the Art of Fusion was born, blending tradition, innovation, craftsmanship, worlds and talents. It became the brand's aesthetic and technical signature.
This identity was strengthened in 2005 with the Big Bang, which attested to an unrivalled know-how in terms of complications, manufacture movements and state-of-the-art materials. Carbon, titanium, ceramic and sapphire have been developed on this model to technical extremes.
This ground-breaking, high-quality approach to watchmaking is summed up in its philosophy 'Be First, Unique and Different.' It gradually led to other collections with innovative designs: Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang, Square Bang and Manufacture Pieces. These draw on high levels of craftsmanship, both in terms of the materials so dear to Hublot (such as Magic Gold, brightly-coloured ceramics and sapphires) and its manufacture movements (Unico chronograph, Meca-10 and high complications such as the Tourbillon, the Cathedral Minute Repeater and the specific Manufacture Pieces movements).
Hublot's world extends to powerful partnerships including football. 'Hublot Loves Football' has become the slogan at the world's biggest sporting events (such as the FIFA World CupTM, Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA EUROTM) and through its ambassadors. This love of football continues in art, design, music, sport, fine dining and sailing. Lastly, Hublot's implication in joint environmental projects with SORAI and Polar Pod reflects its concern for the issues of the day.
Over 140 boutiques around the world share Hublot's fervour and values, alongside the Hublot.com e-commerce site.
