Along with free WiFi, the eat-in/take-out café offers Blue Bottle Coffee (single origin beans from the San Francisco roaster | www.bluebottlecoffee.com), pressed juices, protein smoothies and blendies (invigorating blends of fresh fruits, veggies and other organic ingredients), Serendipitea (fair trade organic tea), lavender lemonade (made in-house with fresh-squeezed lemons) and Tcho Chocolate (fair trade, organic, luxury chocolate, used in all mochas and also sold by the bar).
Edibles include a variety of grab ‘n go food (chicken breast kale salad, chicken salad, turkey wraps, Athens salad, etc.), Short Cake (local farmers market-based bakery, featuring gluten free and vegan options) and Skinny Genius Granola, which owner David Shadle describes as “unbelievably delicious!”
Every aspect of Mojo Café was thought through and carefully chosen. To pick their coffee partner, the team flew to San Francisco and “spent three days tasting every roaster in town.” They developed their protein smoothies to minimize calories without sacrificing taste, and the grab ‘n go menu was developed to take all the guesswork out of choosing a quick meal.
The vision behind Mojo Café is driven by partners David Shadle and Toby Johnson, who sought to “improve the experience of our gym clientele and to bring a healthy alternative to our neighborhood that we have been a part of for 75 years,” says Shadle.
Mojo Café is located at 8051 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90048. Hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. For more information, please visit http://mojostrong.com.

Sciton, a leading manufacturer of high-quality medical laser and light systems has three new breakthrough technologies, reversing the aging process, erasing skin abnormalities and forever ridding the body of unwanted hair that are ever present concerns in today’s society.
Forever Young BBL TM- Described by Stanford University as a true “Fountain of Youth.” The treatment uses BroadBand Light™ flash lamp technology to not only improve the appearance of skin and pigmentation, but also to restore gene expression patterns of aged human skin to resemble young skin. The revolutionary non-invasive treatment results in patients appearing younger than their actual age – supported by DNA evidence! A 10 year long Stanford study with Dr. Bitter, Jr., shows that in an 11 year time frame, people actually appeared to negatively age by one year with regular quarterly light treatments.
The Forever Bare BBL TM treatment is the latest innovation in fast, effective laser hair removal, and is just being announced to the public this month. The procedure uses BroadBand Light™ technology and treats with continuous movement and multiple lower fluency pulses at a high repetition rate. This advanced method greatly minimizes the likelihood of missed areas that occur with other traditional hair removal devices, with far less discomfort.
The brand new CelluSmooth procedure is a minimally invasive, fast and safe treatment. Introduced this last March and just now available at select medical practices, the protocol was developed in conjunction with a panel of remarkable plastic surgeons and cosmetic physicians. CelluSmooth is the answer to ridding the body of unwanted lumps, bumps and dimples to achieve a smoother appearance in troublesome areas such as the thighs, stomach and buttocks. In a single simple procedure, CelluSmooth treats the source of lumpy, dimpled skin with three safe and effective steps: 1). Severing the bands that pull on the skin creating the dimples and valleys, 2) Melting the excess pockets of fat that form bulging areas, and 3) smoothing and firming the skin with the laser.
Because I have darker skin I am currently doing a series of the Photo Revelations and I am LOVING IT.
Photo Revelation uses 1064 nm wavelength in a painting technique to heat the dermis to help build collagen, treats large pores and diffuses redness especially on darker skin types where BBL is less than ideal.
Launa Stone RN, has been skin icon to celebrities, business women, and housewives for over 20 years. She has appeared on several television programs and has been featured in numerous magazine articles.
Launa Stone has been a practicing registered nurse for almost 20 years. After working in Critical Care, Launa began her career in plastic surgical nursing and skin care in 1989. She has worked with some of the country's most prominent plastic and reconstructive surgeons. The need for the plastic surgery patients to "preserve their results" and expand their knowledge of skin care treatments and products in order to not only maintain, but improve their skin, was of vast interest to Launa.
In 1996, when Botox™ was introduced for cosmetic purposes, she began performing Collagen & Botox™ injections. Launa is now a well known Registered Nurse at the forefront of non-invasive medical and aesthetic technology and is also considered one of the pioneers in the field of Laser Hair Removal.
In 1997, while working at UCLA with various lasers for hair removal, she conducted side by side comparisons in consultation with researchers and manufacturers. She also participated in a study for the FDA which led to the approval of the Diode Laser, the newest technology for permanent hair removal.
Launa is involved in training other doctors and nurses in the use of the Diode Laser, sharing her techniques in this rapidly progressing field. She has performed over 50,000 treatments and is considered an expert in this field, and one of the most experienced in the United States. She has authored several articles and has been recognized in magazines, including L.A. Magazine, for her expertise in laser hair removal. Launa has relocated her practice to Calabasas and is still performing the most effective, least invasive and innovative treatments, usually resulting in no downtime.

…just two of the mind blowing tips Mark unloaded upon me last week when we chatted workouts, women in their 40's, The Blood Type Diet (for ultimate functioning of immune system and digestion) and more.
I trained with him a couple of weeks ago and in less than an hour my workout far surpassed my daily 60-mins-plus cardio-elliptical-pallooza. Seven days a week of cardio and I have gained ten pounds this past year. HELP.
Mark had me rocking quick bursts with heavy weights, a simple, manageable routine that mixed kettle bells/dead lifts/cardio/squats/cardio (etc) setting my metabolism on fire, pushing me to fatigue in every short set and sending me on my way, into an all day burning zone situtaion!
In short, ladies, we need to be lifting weights (substantial, not just the super light high rep thing that's so popular), doing shorter bursts of intense reps to fatigue and mixing the weight training with cardio – in a rapid circuit training way. Firing up your muscles and metabolism this way creates a furnace, so to speak, so you are burning calories post workout. Those mega-endurance cardio sessions are a waste of time without the resistance weight training. We need bone-density-building weighted resistance to create muscle to burn burn burn – otherwise you'll end up like me: wasting over an hour a day on cardio, stuck in the same place, body unchanged and fat.
