WAIAKEA HAWAIIAN VOLCANIC WATER, is the first of its kind to be naturally enriched, completely sustainable, and ethically sound. Waiakea taps into Kea’au’s aquifer, regarded as one of the most sustainable fresh water resources in the world, with a daily recharge rate of 1.38 billion gallons per day. However, Waiakea only bottles less than .0001 of 1% of this. They are industry leaders as well as water saviors- especially during this drought we are facing.

What ethically puts WAIAKEA above any other bottled water company, beside all the amazing health benefits- For every liter purchased, Waikea donates 650 liters of clean water throughout the world through PUMPAID.ORG.

– use 85% less energy to manufacture 
– use 90% less water 
– reduce carbon emissions over 90%.4

On top of this, they only use the highest quality RPET to make their bottles, bottles that are also BPA Free.

Key ingredients: Collagen types 1 & 3, hyaluronic acid (known as nature’s moisturizer) and vitamin C (essential to boosting collagen in the skin).

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JONATHAN BAILOR EXPOSES TRADITIONAL WEIGHT-LOSS FALLACIES IN THE
 NEW SERIES “THE QUEST TO END THE CALORIE MYTH” BROUGHT TO YOU BY QUEST NUTRITION

June 25, 2014

Breakout leader in the nutrition market and maker of the #1 protein bar Quest Nutrition has partnered with author and wellness expert Jonathan Bailor to create a powerful web series based on his New York Times bestselling book The Calorie Myth.

Launching June 22nd, the new web series is the second original series from Quest Nutrition following its runaway hit Cooking Clean with Quest with host Cassey Ho, going into its third season.  Quest views each web series as an opportunity to follow through on its mission to change the way people eat. The Quest to End the Calorie Myth is the latest offering in Quest’s effort to generate fun, educational content that helps viewers unleash the best version of themselves. Watch the Calorie Myth at www.youtube.com/QuestNutrition.

The episodes will roll out every Sunday at 11am PST starting June 22:

  • “Expensive Eating” (June 22) Eating healthy is expensive, right? Myth! Learn how to save money while eating healthfully.
  • “A Calorie is a Calorie” (June 29) Are all calories are created equal? Viewers learn that the quality of calories is more important than the quantity.
  • “Breakfast” (July 6) Is a pre-packaged breakfast a great way to start the day? Viewers see how the conventional balanced breakfast is horribly unbalanced.
  • “Fast Food” (July 13) Can fast food be healthy? Learn how to make healthy choices at fast food restaurants.
  • “Healthy Eating” (July 20) Viewers see how nutritious can be delicious and bust the myth that healthy eating is boring and bland.
  • “Takes Too Long” (July 27) Can you cook a healthy meal faster than a frozen pizza? Viewers learn how to bust the myth that healthy eating takes too long.

 The Quest to End the Calorie Myth exposes conventional nutrition lies and misinformation that prevents viewers from reaching their health and fitness goals. Backed by a decade of scientific nutritional research, and endorsed by top doctors and researchers from Harvard, Johns Hopkins and UCLA, Bailor walks viewers through simple steps to make cutting-edge science digestible and actionable.

Viewers will learn to reject the standard calorie-counting model of weight loss, focusing instead on the efficacy of high-quality food – eating more of what Bailor calls “SANE” foods – to more easily burn fat and boost health.  In making better nutrition and health choices, viewers will learn how to save time, money, and quite possibly their lives.

“We’ve progressed so much in so many areas of our lives in the past fifty years,” remarked Bailor. “It’s time we do the same with how we eat by moving past obsolete calorie myths and enjoying more SANE whole foods.”
