Hard Work Pays Off as Single Mom Moves to Finals in Mompreneur Awards
CALGARY, Feb. 20, 2019 /CNW/ - Torill Myre, local Calgary mom and founder of Torill's Table has been named as a finalist for the 2019 Mompreneur Award. The single mom made the final top 30 of 1250 women who were shortlisted for the honour, due to her dedication to her business and success of her traditional Norwegian waffle mix.
The Mompreneur Award finalists are a collective of powerful women in business that have a strong dedication to their craft and passion for both family and business - which have set them apart from other entrepreneurs in Canada. Each finalist submitted an essay describing the innovation of their product, how they try to inspire others and more.
Torill's Table was born out of Myre's desire to sit down with her kids and eat something as convenient and filling as it was nutritious. "Sitting down at the table, even if it was for only five minutes, was and continues to be so important for our family," says Myre. That's when she created a nourishing waffle mix that was easy to prepare and tasted just like home. "All of a sudden, moms were asking me for bags of my mix," says Torill. "I grew up in Norway, so it was a family ritual to eat vafler every week. I wanted to bring that little piece of home to Canada."
What sounds like a smooth success story couldn't be further from her truth. "Running a business and parenting has been a juggling act," she says. Myre credits part of her success to her sons that are now ages 22, 21 and 19, who jumped right into the business and helped with warehouse tasks and selling at demos and markets. "We couldn't have done it unless we stuck together," she says proudly.
Torill graduated from Arlene Dickinson's accelerator program, District Ventures, in June of 2018 and received an investment from the business mogul to help expand her business. She was chosen for the program because of her business acumen, innovation of product and most importantly, the passion she has for supporting her family.
Stay tuned to see if this impressive entrepreneur will win this year's award at the 2019 National Mompreneur Conference on March 1st in Toronto.
Founder of Torill's Table, Torill Myre, created a waffle mix that's filled with high-quality ingredients like almonds, flax seed and oatmeal that was inspired by her mother's traditional Norwegian vafler recipe. The heart of the recipe brings loved ones together around the table to enjoy a healthy meal together.

The CAR of the Future: Speeding Past Cancer By Joshua Mansour, MD
Have you heard about the futuristic ‘CAR’ that might soon be speeding past cancer?
No, this is not a new automotive car being released this spring, but instead is something even more exciting. This type of CAR is a cancer therapy that is making headlines and is now on the road to being one of the treatments of the future.
In a throwback to Henry Ford’s Model T, this medical innovation is called CAR T-cell therapy. The CAR stands for Chimeric Antigen Receptor. This type of cellular immunotherapy involves physicians extracting a particular type of white blood cell from the patient’s blood (T-cells) and then attaching them to one of these artificial receptors. Once these cells are infused back into the patient they begin to multiply, and with guidance from the receptor, recognize cancer cells that contain their same antigen.
This is a cancer therapy that was discovered in 1989, but has not yet been put into high gear until recently. It is already changing how patients with blood cancers that have not been responsive to previous therapy are being treated. Although the technology has been described almost three decades ago, clinical implementation has not occurred until recently. Even though CAR T-cell therapy is not well known to the general public, it has been speeding along the medical highway, with no rest stop in sight.
This rapid pace is of great value because hematological malignancies (blood cancers) are the fourth most common cancer in the United States. Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma is the most common of these in the United States and outcomes in aggressive and refractory subtypes are poor. Of this disease, the most common subtype is Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in which only small percentage of patients with relapsed disease or disease that was refractory to initial therapy is then cured with a stem cell transplant. Although this treatment has been approved for patients under the age of twenty-five with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, until recently this type of therapy had been restricted to smaller clinical trials for other very advanced and aggressive diseases.
However, the remarkable rate of responses from these trials caught the eyes of researchers and physicians around the world. These results have shown that patients who had failed conventional therapy were not only seeing their disease stabilize, but also saw a significant response. Recent trials have shown ongoing complete remission with duration ranging from 18-24 plus months. In early trials, there were even persisting CAR T-cells observed in great than 70% of patients remaining in response at 1 year. Durable responses continued to remain in patients with and without detectable persisting CAR T-cells. Although these responses can deepen and improve over time, it has also been seen in instances that the ongoing response of these cells can decrease when a higher amount of tumor burden is present.
So, is this exciting CAR of the future right for every patient? No. It depends on the individual, their disease, and several other factors. Plus there are still some side effects that patients should be aware of before they take this CAR for a spin. One of them is a “cytokine storm” or cytokine release syndrome (CRS) that about 70-90% of patients may experience. Think of it as the radiator breaking down, leading to overheating of your engine with severe flu-like symptoms of fever and body aches. This occurs secondarily to the multiplying activity of the T-cells, leading to a dynamic immune response.
Another side effect, known as “CRES” (CAR T-cell Related Encephalopathy Syndrome), can begin a few days after infusion of the cells where patients become confused and disoriented. Think of it as a breakdown in the transmission. You are unable to mentally shift gears and form complex sentences and thoughts that you were able to once before. Just like when you take your automobile to a busy shop, it takes a few days for things to be back to normal. These adverse effects are reversible with the right mechanic and a skilled tune-up.
Isometric strength training exercises are one of the biggest fitness trends right now. And it’s easy to see why - they don’t require weights, intensive cardio, or even a gym. And with Activ5, the new smart isometric device designed to monitor muscle development, guide and even entertain users with five-minute fully body workouts, isometrics have become even easier.
The Best Exercises for Knee Pain: Isometrics as Knee Injury Exercises
You might be surprised to learn that the ideal exercises for those who suffer from knee pain involve isometrics. Because while rest is an essential part of recovery after a knee injury, restoring strength is a vital part of preventing future injuries to the joint. The most common causes of knee injuries is damage to the ACL, also known as the anterior cruciate ligament. And the best way to protect the ACL is by strengthening the muscles around the knee. Essentially, the stronger these muscles are, the better your knees will be at absorbing shock--one of the typical causes of ACL injuries.
After a knee injury, most physicians and physical therapists recommend gentle exercise to strengthen the surrounding muscles. That means avoiding weight-bearing exercises or moves that compress the knee. Fortunately, isometric exercises are extremely low-impact and great for rapidly strengthening the muscles. Studies have shown that isometric exercises are extremely effective at targeting the muscles and tendons surrounding the knee.
The 5 Biggest Disruptors Wreaking Havoc On Your Hormones
As 2019 dawns, some people are taking a “new year-new you” approach. They’re determined to make self-improvements that provide a fresh, positive outlook and strong sense of well-being.
But sometimes health factors undermine those good intentions, such as depression and its link to hormone imbalances. There are myriad ways both men and women suffer adverse effects to their hormones, says Don Colbert, M.D., and many of them are avoidable.
“We are exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals on a regular basis in the air, water and food,” says Colbert (https://drcolbert.com), author of Dr. Colbert's Hormone Health Zone. “Some of them are hormone disruptors because they disturb your endocrine system, wreaking havoc and creating hormonal imbalances.
“Not only are the effects of all these disruptors depressing to think about; they actually cause depression, along with countless other ailments such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and more. But the basic principle is this: decreasing the number of disruptions will improve your health.”
Dr. Colbert breaks down the top hormone disruptors affecting men and women along with ways to minimize the disruption or stop it:
Lifestyle choices. “Whether it’s weight gain and a lack of exercise, anger and unforgiveness, drinking too much alcohol or some other thing that can be controlled, your hormone levels drop and you begin a slow slide to poorer health,” Dr. Colbert says. “Make better choices, and that dramatically decreases the chances of having any hormone deficiency symptoms.”
Medications. Medications affect the body’s cells, and sometimes side effects manifest in major problems. For example, Dr. Colbert cites Mayo Clinic research showing a prescription statin drug that lowered cholesterol could result in liver damage, memory loss or type 2 diabetes. “I estimate that 55 percent of the entire US population is taking pills that directly and negatively affect hormone levels,” Dr. Colbert says. “Get off these harmful medications you hate.”
Things you touch. Chemicals entering the body through the skin can cause long-term damage. Dr. Colbert notes phthalates, disruptors found in household cleaners, cosmetics, toys and numerous other products. “Phthalates negatively affect both men’s and women’s ability to use the testosterone that is in our bodies,” Dr. Colbert says. “Another is BPA (bisphenol A), found on the inside of metal-canned foods and plastic food-storing containers. Specifically, BPA has been found to cause or contribute to cancer, fertility problems, developmental issues and heart disease. I recommend buying glass jars of food and storing in ceramic containers.”
Diet deficiencies. “The standard American diet is usually low in key nutrients that support a healthy thyroid,” Dr. Colbert says. “Many patients with hormone imbalances have low iodine. The best solution is eat more vegetables, ideally raw or steamed.”
Aging. Dr. Colbert says estrogen levels for women begin to decline around the age of 50; for men, testosterone levels can drop low around age 45-50. “Aging is a natural combatant as a hormone disruptor,” he says, “but we can slow the acceleration of the effects of aging by optimizing our hormones. Healthy habits can make a huge difference.”
“Symptoms of serious problems indicated by hormonal imbalance can be reversed by those who focus on health in their diet, lifestyle and living environment,” Dr. Colbert says. “Then they can enable all of their systems to function optimally.”

Hard-Core! The Best Exercises for the Transverse Abdominus
Shhhh…we’ve got a secret, and it’s a doozy.
It’s all to do with getting that sleeker, slimmer waist – the one that people spend hours upon hours, angrily doing crunches trying to achieve. But the secret, in fact, lies in an often-overlooked set of muscles sitting deep within your core. They’re called the transverse abdominus muscles, and have been called everything from the ‘abdominal corset muscles’ to the ‘body’s natural girdle’. Sometimes, they’re even referred to the ‘Spanx of the Body’!
Working out core muscles like the rectus abdominus or obliques tend to make your belly jut out, without actually reducing the size of your waist. And that’s where the transverse abdominus comes in – not only do these wonder muscles tighten your midsection, they also help with stability, posture, breathing and lower back strength. The question is: is there anything the transverse abdominus muscles can’t do?
With that said, let’s take a look at five essential transverse ab exercises, to get that lean, slender look you’ve always wanted.
Not surprisingly, the plank is one of the best transverse abdominus exercises around. The keys to getting results from the plank are time and form. You want to hold your plank for as long as you can, increasing over time, while always maintaining proper form. When your form starts to break down, that’s a good sign you’ve had enough and it’s time for a rest.
To perform the plank:
· Begin laying face down on your stomach
· Lift yourself up onto your elbows and toes
· Keep your spine flat, with your buttocks in-line with your body
· Try to stare straight ahead of you, making sure you don’t strain your neck
· Hold for 5-10 seconds to start, then lower yourself back down
· Gradually increase your duration by 5 seconds with each rep
· Repeat 3 times

DIGITAL BRANDS LLC LAUNCHES CARE SKINCARE
A Consumer-Direct Clean Beauty Brand Formulated with Superior-Grade Ingredients and a Simplified Approach to Skincare WellnessNEW YORK, N.Y. (Spring 2019)—After a year of intensive research and development, Digital Brands LLC announced the official launch of Care Skincare. The brand was developed by a team of world-class experts who formulated five key highly effective multi-functional products that would address the skin’s most important needs in a straightforward, simple way using superior-grade ingredients. A clean beauty brand, all formulas were developed using only safe, proven ingredients that are fragrance-free. Additionally, no products in the line are ever animal-tested. Care Skincare sells directly to consumers—avoiding retail markups and costs. These savings are passed along to the consumer in the brand’s pricing.
“After having spent many years leading product launches globally for Estee Lauder Companies, Inc., I came to the conclusion that what works in skincare is actually very simple,” said Care Skincare Co-Founder, Ricardo Quintero.“We felt we really owed it to the marketplace to launch a brand that offered a straightforward approach with superior product at a better price.”
The Care Skincare launch includes essential products designed to deliver outstanding results, with minimal daily effort. The collection is straightforward, clean and honest. The brand strives to be easy to understand, having stripped away any unnecessary jargon from its marketing. Packaging is simple, legible, functional, and always recyclable.
“Having tried out skincare regimens throughout my pregnancies, seasonal changes, and travels, I was very much in touch with the challenges of committing to products that weren’t flexible enough to fit my needs at different stages in my life,” said Care Skincare Co-Founder Pilar Quintero. “Care offers safe, highly effective products that work for all skin types. We knew it was possible to achieve that.”
All products in the Care Skincare line were developed by a team of world-class experts using superior-grade ingredients that strictly adhere to the brand’s clearly communicated standards for “Clean Beauty.” Everything offered from the brand is fragrance-free, alcohol-free, mineral oil-free, paraben-free, phthalates-free, and cruelty-free.
“Themost important lesson I have learned in my 35 years of developing prestige skincare products is that it’s not just about a singular ingredient—it’s how each formula has been independently and expertly curated to work at its maximum potential,” said Debbie D’Aquino, Head of Product Innovation for Care Skincare. “The comfort and elegance of a skincare product is equally important to performance and safety. That’s why each Care product has also been designed to be extremely pleasurable to use. This way, you enjoy using them each and every day.”
The Care Skincare launch collection features five key products:
Soft Sweep Micellar Cleanser + Toner—This gentle, rinse-free formula cleanses effectively without stripping the skin. Its microscopic micelles act as dirt and oil magnets. Soft Sweep Micellar Cleanser + Toner is available in 8 oz. at a retail price of $24.
Deep Moisture Fix Hydrating Water Cream—This gel-cream moisturizer has a soothing texture. The hyaluronic acid in the cream absorbs deeply to provide multi-level hydration and support skin elasticity. The product was designed for use as a daily moisturizer and can be applied under or over make-up and as a quick rehydrating mask. Deep Moisture Fix Hydrating Water Cream is available in 1.7 oz. at a retail price of $35.
Tireless, Retinoid Night Serum—This transformative serum renews and repairs skin overnight. Granactive Retinoid™ provides unparalleled anti-aging benefits without irritation. The product was designed to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation for a visibly brighter, smoother complexion. Tireless, Retinoid Night Serum is offered in two sizes: 1 oz. at a retail price of $45, and 2 oz. at a retail price of $68.
Eye + Lip Nourishing Cream—Formulated to treat and repair the delicate area around the eyes and around the lips, this dense cream with a light-diffusing finish softens the look of fine lines and dark circles. It absorbs quickly and won’t drift into eyes or interfere with makeup. Eye + Lip Nourishing Cream is available in 0.5 oz. at a retail price of $30.
The Everything Multi-Level Moisturizer—This multi-functional formula nourishes, hydrates and repairs the skin and includes powerful antioxidants, turmeric and black tea ferment. Additionally, peptides provide the benefits of a serum in the comfort of a cream. The Everything Multi-Level Moisturizer is available in 1.7 oz. at a retail price of $40.
Care Skincare products are available exclusively at careskincare.com, where you can find more information about the brand. Information also can be found on Instagram: @careskincare, and Facebook: Care Skincare.
