Petzbe, the new social media app for all things pets! No people allowed!

 
Andrea Nerep and Chelsea Rose Riggs of Petzbe which is a new social media platform joins eHealth Radio and the Animal Health & Health News Channels. Petzbe combines two things that most Americans love, their pets and social media.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guests Andrea Nerep and Chelsea Rose Riggs discuss the following:
How did you come up with the idea for Petzbe?
Pets are so good for our health and well being. What are some ways in which our pets can help us with our health and wellness?
Through Petzbe we see the world through the voice of our beloved pets. Do you think that this site is sort of therapeutic for people in a world where most social media is political and often negatively emotional for many?
What is the “Vetbe" section of the App?
How does "Lend A Paw" work and what are some of the charities that have benefitted from “Lend A Paw”?
How do you download Petzbe?
Summary: Petzbe is one of the fasted growing social media platforms where the user opens an account on behalf of their beloved pets. All the photos, videos, opinions and messaging on Petzbe come from the perspective of your pets and takes on their persona. Studies have shown that pets can be very beneficial for our own physical and mental health well-being. The brain child of millennial, Andrea Nerep the site is available on your smart phone App Store and it is sure to be the “cutest community platform” available today.
What would your pets say if they could speak? What’s their voice like – sassy, cute, witty, grumpy, playful? PETZBE is the leading social media app connecting pet parents in a community where they share their pets’ lives from the perspective of the pet. PETZBE’S purpose is to provide a positive pet-centric social media experience for pet parents to form meaningful connections with each other and trusted companies in the pet industries.
Realizing that society is obsessed with social media and pets, PETZBE creator, Swedish-born and now New York based Andrea Nerep and her dog, Angus (a Brussels Griffon) partnered with Los Angeles based Chelsea Rose Riggs to create what they believe is “The cutest community on the planet.”
PETZBE is simple to use and easily downloadable on most smart phones when you find it in your smart phone app icon. (Note: Some versions of Android may have trouble downloading the app.) Designed using current state-of-the-art technology, this social media platform, although contributed to by humans, only allows pets to participate. With a soft-launch and ample time to test the PETZBE technology in 2018, PETZBE now has over to 800,000 furry, feathered, scaled, slithery and other diverse and loveable community members.
Just like human social media sites, each PETZBE member page showcases and highlights the life of your individual pet. You can connect with others while featuring your pet’s photos, videos, feelings, and thoughts (that you create for them). If you like another member’s content, give it a “Lick” (Like) or click on their “Sniff” (Follow) and voila, you are now “Sniffing” (Following) them.

Heather Hughes, Founder of BioFit 360

 
 
Heather Hughes, Founder of BioFit 360, who has been working in the healthcare industry for over 20 years joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel.
After hundreds of hours of research, product testing and consultation, Heather and her team brought BioFit 360 to market, sourcing the products from the most trusted manufacturers with the highest ratings.
 
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Heather Hughes discuss the following:
Why did you create BioFit 360?
What are issues that you see with dosage transparency in your industry?
I understand you have an Ambassadog? What does Frankie do for BioFit 360?
Tell me more about the environmental benefits of industrial hemp farming?
Where can our listeners learn more about BioFit 360?

Heather Hughes has been working in healthcare for 20 years, and her husband’s family has been involved in farming and agriculture for generations. This uniquely qualifies her to lead a company that produces the highest quality and most effective CBD products, understanding and overseeing every step of creation, from plant to person.
Heather grew up in Jamestown, North Dakota. She obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Marketing from Minnesota State University Moorhead, and an MBA from North Dakota State University in Fargo. She then moved to Southern California where she began working in healthcare management, and where she and her husband purchased a grapefruit orchard.
While in North Dakota, Heather worked for a research organization which did pharmaceutical testing of generic drugs and for which she wrote the final FDA reports. In Southern California, Heather has worked for over a decade as the Director of Care Coordination for a major health care management company. Working with wonderful nurses and teams of dedicated healthcare professionals, she became aware of the harsh realities of opioid and other prescription drug abuse.
A few years ago she realized the benefits of using industrial hemp-derived CBD in treating an extraordinary number of ailments. Meanwhile, the Asian Citrus Psyllid was slowly spreading in California and carrying a deadly tree virus that had infected about 90 percent of the citrus crop in Florida. So she applied to the California Department of Food and Agriculture and became registered to cultivate industrial hemp. Simultaneously, Heather was sought-out by a group of health care professionals who asked her to join them in creating a CBD company. Their common goal was to help patients manage chronic conditions like pain and anxiety in a more natural, plant-based way.
After hundreds of hours of research, product testing and consultation, Heather and her team brought BioFit 360 to market, sourcing the products from the most trusted manufacturers with the highest ratings. Soon an esteemed crop of experts will be collaborating on manufacturing BioFit 360 products using industrial hemp organically grown in the Hughes Citrus orchard.
In addition to working with BioFit 360, Heather is the busy mother of three, is active in animal rescue, and in her rare moments of leisure, she enjoys early mornings with a good book and a cup of Irish Breakfast tea.
