In the wake of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton’s devastation, Frequense has announced a heartfelt initiative to support relief efforts throughout October.
The company will donate a portion of all sales to aid those affected by the storms. For Frequense, this is more than just a donation—it’s about standing with communities during their toughest times.
“As someone who’s seen the power of community, I know that even in the hardest times, we can come together to help,”
said Barb Pitcock, CEO of Frequense.
“We’ve always believed in lifting others up, and now, we want to do our part to help families and communities rebuild after this disaster.
Our hearts are with everyone affected, and we hope our contributions can bring hope to those facing unimaginable challenges.”
In addition to donating from sales, Frequense is encouraging customers and affiliates to contribute directly to the American Red Cross at redcross.org.
Donna Valdes, a Frequense leader from the Tampa Bay Region—one of the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Milton—shared her thoughts:
“This is another reason why I love Frequense. It’s not just about products; it’s about people. Their heart for helping others in times of need is truly inspiring.
As someone who has seen the impact

Amway Gives Stanford University $10 million For First Of Its Kind Study On Health
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Stanford University will undertake a first-of-its kind study to track how everything from exercising to eating fresh produce can lengthen a human lifespan. Amway is picking up tab.
The direct sales giant is donating $10 million for the new Stanford project, WELL, short for Wellness Living Laboratory, which will launch next year.
The program will focus on wellness, rather than diseases, with the hypothesis that promoting wellness thwarts diseases, Dr. John Ioannidis, the head of the Stanford Prevention Research Center, told Scope, a Stanford Medical School publication.
He added that participants will track and report much of their information remotely and digitally. They also will have the opportunity to enroll in a variety of clinical trials to test various interventions, such as nutrition counseling or smoking cessation programs.
What is unusual about this study is that it is designed to monitor the health of people over a five year period, or longer.
“It really helps us understand how we characterize wellness,” said Audra Davies, vice president of nutrition product development and analytical sciences for Amway.
“What is it that is keeping people well, and helping them to thrive. What are the important characteristics. There is a strong interest in understanding biomarkers of health. It is

Herbalife Donates To Groups That Want To Destroy It
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Facing a massive public relations campaign against it, the nutrition sales company Herbalife has adopted an intriguing strategy in recent months: Donating to local chapters of the Latino rights nonprofit whose national leadership is seeking its demise.
The Herbalife donations have sparked controversy within the charity, the League of United Latin American Citizens, the nation’s oldest and biggest Latino rights group with 1,000 chapters in the United States and Puerto Rico. LULAC is holding its ritzy week-long annual convention at the Hilton in midtown Manhattan this week, featuring appearances from Mayor Bill de Blasio and Michelle Obama, and boasting some 20,000 attendees.
Dissent has been brewing over the LULAC leadership’s aggressive fight against Herbalife, and questions about whether it fits into the broader mission of the nonprofit, founded in 1929, to fight discrimination against Hispanics. LULAC’s muscular response has been to crack down on Herbalife’s attempts to donate money to LULAC’s cash-starved state chapters.
“Frankly speaking, no, I don’t think that LULAC should be involved in this,” said Elia Mendoza, LULAC’s Texas state director. “We’ve got much bigger things to worry about.”
Herbalife’s donations came as the The New York Times reported in March that William Ackman, the founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, had placed a
