1. Nobody ever said it was going to be easy closing out a two-week, six-game road trip with a back-to-back against a desperate, 2-10 Philadelphia 76ers team. No Terry Rozier or Jaime Jaquez Jr. for the HEAT, no Tyrese Maxey for Philadelphia, but Jimmy Butler returned and Joel Embiid went from being doubtful (illness) to playing in the hour before the game. Butler made his presence known early, scoring Miami’s first two on very typical Butler plays. Butler clearly had the fresh legs, his teammates clearly didn’t, uncharacteristic turnovers dragging the offense down. Philadelphia wasn’t much cleaner in that early going, offense a struggle on both sides, but once the bench started to rotate in the Sixers started to find their stride. Standout rookie Jared McCain made his mark, first draining a couple of open threes the likes of which rookies tend to get before they earn a reputation then getting to work in the pick-and-roll. Shortly into the second period the visitors were up as much as 19, nothing flukey about it. Erik Spoelstra had a call to make at that point. With Butler’s bench unit – including more fresh legs in Alec Burks and Dru Smith – eating into the lead a bit with three and free-throws, it was go with the regular rotation and get the starters back in or stick with what was working. He went with the latter, including keeping Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo on the sideline, and the result was being down just 56-53 at the break. Philadelphia was earning themselves plenty of open looks during that stretch, many from three, but their percentages from the arc sank below 30 percent same as Miami. Tied up early in the third on a Herro three, more verve and energy from the starters as the shots started to fall while all those good Sixers looks, generated off Embiid pulling in second defender, continued to strike iron as Duncan Robinson gained the lead with a pair of outside hits. By the time Miami hit their fifth three in six minutes, they were up eight, all that work from the bench giving the starters a chance for improved, regrouped play to mean something. Philadelphia, all those misses piling up, had lost their groove. Sixers tried out a little zone at the end of the period to try to get anything going and Haywood Highsmith hit a three over the top of it anyway, Miami sitting pretty with Herro closing out the period strong and an 88-72 lead, the game flipped right on its head off a 61-26 run spanning the middle quarters. Miami’s offense stalled a bit in the final period but it didn’t matter much. All those open looks started to dry up for Philadelphia as the defensive pressure dialed up, turnovers following turnovers, even relatively clear attacks sped up to the point that the rare good look was missed. Miami by 20, Dru Smith playing with plenty of confidence, and both sides played out the string from there, the HEAT taking it, 106-89, with long, five-day break ahead of them between games. 2. You’ll hear us say that it’s a make or miss league in this space fairly often and it’s true, often enough, whether or not teams make their open looks deciding many games. What’s also true is that make-or-miss can affect the rhythm of the game, the energy of a team. When Miami was missing early on Philadelphia was feeding on that misfortune. When the Sixers couldn’t convert on all those good looks in the second period, Miami fed off of that. And when all those threes fell for Miami, finishing just 29.5 percent from the arc, in the third, it gave their defense the life it needed to carry them to the finish. Those fresh legs helped, of course. Burks contributed some makes to help, Smith played his regular, solid game and Highsmith (3-of-3 from the arc) was one of the few players to have a good shooting night, but Butler returning, showing no ill effects of the layoffs, for his typically ridiculous line of 30 points on just 12 shots, made the difference. Before Miami got rolling in the fourth, it was Butler pacing the offense, getting himself to the free-throw line (13-of-13) to keep points going on the board. The HEAT have enjoyed so much good shooting lately that it was easy to forget there would be games where those threes wouldn’t be there, where they would have to grind out enough points, and nobody grinds quite like Butler, a perfect remedy on a night when the overall offensive rating sat at just 105.0. Spoelstra’s decision in the second was massive, too, leaving the deeper bench in with Butler when they were the only thing the team had going for it. That group may not have dominated, their run a slow, methodical one, but they followed Butler’s pace and ate into the lead, point-by-point. It’s not every day that Spoelstra will sit Herro and Adebayo during their regular rotation spots, both stars likely flat at the end of a long trip with longer minutes. It paid off in spades tonight, with Herro and Adebayo responding with far better energy in the second half while Butler finished a team-high +29. 3. McCain is most definitely a promising rookie, among the leaders for Rookie of the Year, but with younger players you always wonder how they’re going to react to all the various reads a Spoelstra defense, anything but conventional, is going to throw at them. McCain had his way early on, getting those open looks and scoring off a couple of screens, but from then on Miami’s defense was far more focused on him. It’s important to remember here that without Maxey’s services the 76ers have relied some on McCain’s offense at times to keep the train moving forward, but after that first stretch where the shots were open and the lanes were wide Miami started applying the pressure. Instead of having Kevin Love show out on pick-and-rolls, for example, Spoelstra dialed up the blitz, Love jumping out to stop all forward momentum. McCain handled it well, in spots, delivering the ball to Embiid, but there were turnovers, too, and passes delivered late and off target, the ball going East-to-West rather than getting acquainted with the rim. That pressure on McCain summed up Miami’s entire second half. The threes in the third helped them gain the lead but when the offense stalled and left the door open that defense, the pressure dialed up, slammed it shut, the Sixers on their heels with nowhere to go. McCain had a good game, 20 points on 16 shots, but as the HEAT started to make him a bit more uncomfortable so, too, was Philadelphia’s offense taken out of rhythm, so much did they need him to free up space for Paul George (5-of-13 for 18 points) and Embiid (5-of-11 for 11).

Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is pleased to present Kate Capshaw: Exclusive Tonsorial Services, the artist's Miami debut and solo museum exhibition. Capshaw’s exhibition will unveil a new portrait honoring community member, Sergei Grant, who is also a barber and entrepreneur sharing his trade as a mentor and advisor to young apprentices. The new work will be accompanied by a selection of photographs capturing local youth and patrons of Grant’s Miami-Dade barbershop. “Kate Capshaw is a visionary artist whose intimate, personal practice spotlights underrepresented communities. This presentation highlights the shared commitment of both Capshaw and PAMM to amplifying the voices of everyday people and creating a space for meaningful community engagement,” said PAMM Director Franklin Sirmans . Exclusive Tonsorial Services centers the journey of Grant, who began his career as a barber in 2014 while navigating homelessness. Determined, he moved from cutting hair in local shops to managing two barbershops in Miami. Now the owner of his own shop, Grant also offers mobile barbering services, providing haircuts to those in need while mentoring aspiring barbers. Capshaw’s exhibition highlights the barber and barbershop as vital parts to any community’s ecosystem. Grant’s story is an invitation to honor and celebrate the resilience, dignity, and confidence fostered within these spaces where so many find connection, advice, care, and laughter. This presentation also expands on Capshaw’s evolving body of work, where portraiture is often paired with sound, photography, and performance as powerful mediums for artistic expression, social commentary, and engagement in a deeper conversation. Her focus on systemic issues, such as homelessness and inequality, continues to expand as she explores new facets of accompaniment and representation. As an extension of her commitment to portraying important people and stories often overlooked, Capshaw’s upcoming exhibition at PAMM will place Grant at the heart of the narrative. Through this work, she aims to highlight Grant’s role as a barber and his impact as a pillar of energy and support within his community. The exhibition delves into the deeper significance of community care, with Grant representing a figure of integrity, resilience, zeal, and achievement. “Through this show, I hope to create a space where individuals can see themselves reflected in the art, making it an accessible and inclusive experience,” says Kate Capshaw . “This exhibition is not only a celebration of Sergei’s life and story, but also a broader reflection on the many lives he’s touched. Exhibiting this new work at PAMM, I hope to honor these connections and all the people in our lives and communities who create spaces where we can see each other and accompany one another safely.” Deeply rooted in community, the show hopes to draw attention to the intersection between art on the walls of an institution and the art that happens daily in a barber chair. Accompanying the exhibition, PAMM will host an artist talk featuring Kate Capshaw, the subject of her painting, Sergei Grant, and PAMM Director, Franklin Sirmans. Capshaw has also partnered with Grant to invite community members to PAMM for free haircuts and museum admission on January 9 and January 11. The exhibition opens November 21, 2024 and will be on view until January 19, 2025. For more information, please visit pamm.org . About Kate Capshaw Kate Capshaw (b. 1953, Fort Worth, Texas) was raised in Ferguson, Missouri. She attended the University of Missouri–Columbia receiving a B.A. in Education and a Master of Education in Special Education in 1976, after which she taught for two years. She set up primary and secondary Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students with learning differences in the rural consolidated district of Southern Boone County. Capshaw began her art studies in drawing, painting, and portraiture in 2009. In 2016, she saw a way to use portraiture to bring public awareness to youth homelessness. The work received critical attention in 2019 when Capshaw was selected as a finalist in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery’s prestigious juried triennial: the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. Following their selection, the portraits debuted in the exhibition The Outwin 2019: American Portraiture Today. The national tour opened at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in October 2019, in Washington, D.C. It concluded at the Kemper Art Museum in St. Louis in January 2022. Since 2023, the series has toured as a solo exhibition to the Bo Bartlett Gallery at Columbus State University (February 2023) and Henry Street Settlement in New York City (November 2023). Two new portraits featuring Henry Street community members were featured at The Park Avenue Armory in November 2023 and the New York Academy of Art in January 2024.

Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club, Autograph Collection  has announced its participation in the fifth edition of “No Vacancy” in collaboration with the City of Miami Beach and the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (MBVCA) . “Rhapsody for a Beloved World” by Marielle Plaisir As one of only 12 hotels selected for this initiative, Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club will host the acclaimed artist Marielle Plaisir  to showcase “Rhapsody for a Beloved World.” Plaisir was born in 1978 in Le Havre, France, grew up in the French Caribbean and now resides in Miami. Through a lively, interdisciplinary approach, Plaisir’s “Rhapsody for a Beloved World” strives to challenge the past and offers a hopeful vision for the future. This powerful collage captures the contrast between innocence and resilience through vibrant Caribbean colors and scenes of children at play. The piece draws inspiration from the complex history of racial segregation, referencing a true story of two Black boys wrongfully accused of rape in 1958 for simply playing with a white girl. In her artwork, friendship flourishes beyond boundaries, untouched by prejudice, presenting a vision of unity and genuine connection. Marielle Plaisir Plaisir’s work celebrates the beauty of human connection in a world often divided. “Through this experience, I aim to create works that engage viewers not only visually but also intellectually, encouraging a dialogue about the complexities of identity, culture and shared spaces,” Plaisir said. “The ‘No Vacancy’ program in Miami Beach offers a unique platform to bring art into the public space, connecting with the community in ways that are both challenging and profoundly rewarding.” Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club Located just a short drive from the Miami Beach Convention Center, along the Miami Beach Boardwalk, Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club, Autograph Collection  is a 357-room modern oceanfront resort. The art deco property, originally opened in 1940, was designed by renowned architect Roy F. France.

The modern resort has a preserved art deco aesthetic with original terrazzo floors in the lobby area, lush greenery and a wraparound mezzanine balcony overlooking the check-in and lounge area.  Set against the backdrop of Cadillac Hotel, Plaisir highlights the interconnectio ns between humans, the universality of fractured identities, and the power of recognizing inner worlds by merging intricate botanical images of lush foliage with salvaged vintage black-and-white photographs and landscape elements.  ML Staff.

Miami's offense had its highest scoring output of the season in the 34-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium, improving their record to 4-6 on the season. It marks the franchise's 500th regular season win, becoming the 19th NFL organization to accomplish the feat. Since the Dolphins were established in 1966, they are one of five teams to record 500 regular season wins and are sixth among franchises in winning percentage during that span. We go Inside the Numbers, presented by BDO, to take a look at the most notable team stats, individual metrics, milestones and more from Miami's Week 11 win. Tagovailoa Leads Efficient and Methodical Offensive Performance Miami scored on six of their seven possessions against the Raiders as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was the catalyst of the offensive success. He went 28-for-36 (77.8 pct.) for 288 yards, three passing touchdowns and a passer rating of 127.8. It was the 10th time in his career that Tagovailoa has thrown three touchdown passes in a game and the first time since Oct. 29, 2023 at New England. Tagovailoa's passer rating of 127.8 is the sixth-highest mark of his career and his best since Dec. 3, 2023 at Washington (141.0). His 77.8 pass completion rate marks the 13th time he has completed at least 75.0 pct. of his passes in a game. He leads the NFL with a 73.4 completion percentage. Tagovailoa opened the contest by leading Miami downfield with a 14-play, 70-yard drive that lasted 8:13, capped by a one-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jonnu Smith. On their next possession, which finished with a 31-yard field goal by kicker Jason Sanders, the Dolphins drove 52 yards on 16 plays, taking 8:22 off the clock, making it the longest scoring drive by Miami this season by time of possession. In their past three games, the Dolphins have recorded three of the four longest scoring drives, based on time of possession, under Head Coach Mike McDaniel. Miami's third scoring drive, which concluded with an eight-yard touchdown pass from Tagovailoa to wide receiver Tyreek Hill, was a 14-play, 97-yard drive lasting 7:47. The 97-yard drive is their second of the season (at Buffalo, Nov. 3), tying for Miami's longest drive by yardage in the McDaniel era. Miami's three scoring drives of at least 7:30 are tied for the most by any team in a game and the most in a single contest for the Dolphins since 2000. Smith Paces Pass-Catchers Jonnu Smith set a new career high in receiving yards and tied his career best in receiving touchdowns, hauling in six catches for 101 yards (16.8 avg.) and two touchdowns, including a 57-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter to extends Miami's lead to 31-19. The performance marks his second career game of 100 or more receiving yards. His first 100-receiving yard game came during his time with Atlanta, when he had five catches for 100 yards (20.0 avg.) against Minnesota on Nov. 5, 2023. Sunday's performance marked the third time in his career with two receiving touchdowns in a game and first since he was with Tennessee on Oct. 13, 2020 against Buffalo. Smith is the only Miami tight end since the 1970 merger to have 100 or more receiving yards and two touchdown catches in a game. He is one of two tight ends this season to total 100 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns in a game, joining Cincinnati tight end Mike Gesicki's 100-yard, two touchdown performance on Nov. 3, 2024, also against the Raiders. Hill caught a team-high seven passes for 61 yards (8.7 avg.) and a touchdown. The seven receptions mark the most Hill has had in a game this season since his seven on Sept. 8, 2024 against Jacksonville. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle caught two passes for 37 yards (18.5 avg.), while tight end Julian Hill added two receptions for a career-high 28 yards (14.0 avg.). Defense Helps Secure the Win Cornerback Jalen Ramsey hauled in his second interception of the season, giving Miami the ball back with a 12-point lead with less than four minutes remaining in the game. It was Ramsey's third interception in his last two appearances against Las Vegas after his two-pick performance against the Raiders last season. His interception of quarterback Gardner Minshew was his second pick in the past three weeks, marking his fourth consecutive season recording multiple interceptions. Only New Orleans' Tyrann Mathieu has more with five consecutive seasons. Defensive tackle Calais Campbell recorded his fourth sack of the season and second in the past two weeks. He is the eighth player in NFL history, age 38 or older, to record sacks in back-to-back games since the 1970 merger. His 4.0 sacks lead the team, while his 33 tackles (26 solo) rank first among Dolphins defensive linemen. Defensive tackle Zach Sieler had an impressive afternoon, recording four tackles (three solo), a sack, two quarterback hits and a tackle for loss. He has now recorded at least one tackle in 75 consecutive games played. Only Las Vegas defensive tackle Christian Wilkins has a longer active streak (80 games). Linebacker Emmanuel Ogbah also added a sack in the contest, bringing down Gardner Minshew for a one-yard loss in the second quarter. The sack gives Ogbah 3.0 sacks on the season, tied with Sieler for the second-most on the team. Individual/Team Stats and Milestones Running back De'Von Achane raked in 105 yards from scrimmage against Las Vegas, marking his fifth game this season with at least 100 combined yards. He carried the ball 17 times for 73 yards (4.3 avg.) and a touchdown, while catching four passes for 32 yards (8.0 avg.). Achane's fourth quarter touchdown gave him the 17th of his career, which ranks second among all players selected in the 2023 NFL Draft, trailing Detroit running back Jahmyr Gibbs' 20 scores. Achane now has 46 receptions on the season, tied for second among running backs in the NFL, as well as 349 receiving yards, which is fourth at the position. Sanders made four extra points, passing Pete Stoyanovich for third place in extra points made in franchise history. He added two field goals on the afternoon, connecting from 31 yards out in the second quarter and 46 yards in the fourth quarter to give Miami with a 34-19 lead. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks had a game-high 12 tackles (eight solo) in the contest. Through Miami's 10 games, he leads the team with 85 tackles (49 solo). Several Dolphins achieved games played and started milestones. Linebacker Tyrel Dodson and tight end Jack Stoll made their Dolphins debuts. Tackle Terron Armstead made his 125th career start, Ogbah made his 80th career start, offensive lineman Aaron Brewer and safety Jevón Holland made their 50th career starts and defensive tackle Benito Jones appeared in his 50th career game.

If something could be done about our genes, many people would have changed many things, like removing some traits. However, we can't change our genes. Thankfully, certain lifestyle choices can promote good health.  Things like a good diet, sleep, activity, and many more can be tweaked to support our health and lifestyle. But you have to be intentional about them. For example, you can select tested and tried products from   US Biaxol  to boost your physical performance.  This article will discuss five positive lifestyle changes you can adopt. Image by John Fornander / Unsplash #1 Good Sleep is Non-negotiable  While sleep is an essential part of life and living a healthy lifestyle, the trick is in figuring out the right amount. There's a link between sleep and life expectancy, and too little or too much sleep can affect your health. For example, one study found that sleeping for a long duration, more than 10 hours a night, is connected with psychiatric diseases and higher body mass index (BMI). Another study claimed sleeping for nine or more hours a night could increase the incidence of stroke to 23%, compared to those who slept between 7 and 8 hours a night. Depending on your age group, there's a number of hours you need to enjoy sound sleep.  Sleeping recharges your body and mind, repairs bad cells, and improves your memory. A good night's sleep and sleep pattern will promote your health.  #2 Eat Your Way to Health  Food and diets are beginning to sound like beaten tracks. However, fitness and diet experts keep emphasizing how critical a balanced meal is. A healthy diet provides most of your energy, leading to lowered risks of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc.  As you age or advance in life, you must take steps toward a change in diet. You'd need more plant-based meals to get most of the nutrients you need. Experts regularly advocate for a Mediterranean diet, which, with its rich, natural composition, helps reduce the risk of many diseases like stroke, cancer, and heart disease.  A Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, herbs, and spices, which are free of the highly processed alternative.  #3 Avoid Smoking or Chewing Tobacco  Smoking is a habit that many people can't seem to get rid of. Whether it's recreational or just for fun, studies have shown that smoking or chewing tobacco is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Avoiding this habit gives you a chance to extend your life and avoid several diseases like cancer.  Smoking affects your skin, lungs, throat, and other body parts. So, if you smoke and notice wrinkled skin, stop it. Besides, the link between smoking and erectile dysfunction in men is getting clearer. When you kick this quality, you'll save your life and protect it.  #4 Create Time for Physical Activities   Give your body a chance to get some movement. Only 30 minutes a day of physical activity can protect your heart and reduce bone loss as you age. Whether walking, jumping, or performing some exercise, moderate physical activity daily can reduce the risk of getting diseases.  You don't need a gym membership. Mowing your lawn and other essential tasks and chores are activities that get you moving. Walking to the gym twice or thrice weekly can help.  Image by JodieWang / Adobestock #5 Stay Ahead Mentally  Your mental health is a critical part of your life and plays a huge role in your overall health. It includes your emotional and psychological well-being, affecting how you think, feel, and act.  Ensure your social connections don't drain your energy or happiness. Happier individuals generally live longer than less happy ones. Even if eliminating stress is impossible, you can limit it with activities like exercise, meditation, and relaxation.  Conclusion  Promoting good health with positive lifestyle changes is possible. Take the measures here to avoid diseases and poor health conditions like heart disease and diabetes.  Maintain a healthy body weight, quit smoking, and manage your mental health. Your quality of life will improve, giving you more reasons to be happy.  By ML Staff. Images by Unsplash & Adobestock

The Iyashi Dôme - a clinically proven biohacking machine at the intersection of luxury and mindful wellness - has officially landed in the United States.  Iyashi Dôme’s patented technology, created by Shogoro Uemura, is inspired by the 300 year-old traditional Japanese ritual “Suna Ryoho”; which consists of burying oneself in the sands of hot water springs to deeply purify and burn fat. This machine blends ancient healing modalities with a patented, clinically proven black carbon technology. The far-infrared plaques encapsulate the body and feet, which differs from the traditional sauna: where superficial sweat is produced to regulate body temperature. Whereas, with the Iyashi Dôme, it penetrates on a deeper skin and muscular level, causing a Category 2 type of sweat—only reached by high intensity exercise. Resulting in breakdown of fat, including cholesterol, fatty acids, subcutaneous fat as well as lactic acid, active oxygen, toxins and heavy metals such as aluminum, mercury, lead, etc.  The Iyashi Dôme currently partners with renowned hospitality groups such as the Aman le Melezin Courchevel , Cap Eden Roc Antibes  (Dior spa), Four Seasons Dubaï , among others.  We sat down with wellness entrepreneurs Hannah Cohen and Christiana Weber, the official distributors of the Iyashi Dôme in North America, to chat about the machine’s unique technology and what’s next following their successful launch at Reserve Padel in Miami.  Christiana Weber and Hannah Cohen The Iyashi Dôme combines ancient Japanese detox rituals with modern technology. Can you tell us more about how this traditional inspiration influenced its design and benefits?  The Iyashi Dôme draws inspiration from Suna Ryoho, the ancient Japanese practice of sand bathing, which has been celebrated for its healing benefits for centuries. This tradition involves being buried in warm, mineral-rich black sands, to detoxify the body and promote overall well-being. Shogoro Uemura, the French-Japanese founder of the Iyashi Dôme, sought to modernize this practice by creating a technology that delivers similar transformational benefits for both mind and body, making it accessible to everyone in a convenient, luxurious, and scientifically proven way. What distinguishes the Iyashi Dôme from traditional saunas or other infrared devices on the market, particularly in terms of its technology and health benefits? Traditional saunas rely on heating the room to high temperatures (158–212°F), which causes a superficial, water-based sweat to cool down the body. In contrast, the Iyashi Dôme uses far-infrared rays (FIR) to directly raise body temperature, inducing a deeper, more intense detoxifying sweat. The Iyashi Dôme keeps the air cool for added comfort, allowing you to lie down with your head outside the dome, avoiding hot air while promoting better circulation. Its adjustable intensity settings for the upper and lower body ensure a personalized treatment tailored to your needs. Additionally, the far-infrared rays (FIR), not only induce sweat, but enhance the body to detoxify from heavy metals by reaching to a deep muscular, cellular, and mitochondrial level. Hence, this process also promotes cell rejuvenation -reducing the metabolic age since the first session; muscle recovery, skin elasticity; and drives the mind and body to enter into a serene state, that ultimately leads to long term sleep recovery results.  The Iyashi Dôme has been a wellness staple internationally for years, and now you've successfully introduced it to the U.S. market with the Miami pop-up. What were some of the standout moments or feedback you received from guests during this launch? To introduce the Iyashi Dôme to the U.S. market, we had to enter with a different approach by understanding the gaps within the industry where we found areas of opportunity for our product. The Iyashi Dôme had normally been established in luxury hospitality settings—which definitely is relevant for us down the road map in the U.S.; however, we wanted to reinforce this technology’s versatile benefits so that the audience would better understand what differs us from a regular infrared sauna.  As Miami is a wellness-driven city, it was essential for us to link the Iyashi Dôme with other modalities. In this case Reserve Padel Club, was the ideal platform for members to upgrade their practices by using the Iyashi Dôme post workout. One of the main benefits of the technology is muscle and sleep recovery: both crucial for a better performance throughout the following sports practices they may perform during the week. A wonderful added value of this technology is that it can also be used and contrasted with other recovery modalities such as a cold plunge (also available at Reserve Padel); creating a full wellness experience for their clientele. It was a great challenge, yet a rewarding experience to have actual athletes— including the trainers—express their performance improvement throughout the months of the pop up. Another result users were really excited about was the actual data tracking of benefits they had through a body scan we used prior and post session. Through the scan they were able to see BMI reduction, a lower body water weight, and even a decrease in their metabolic age after one session. The pop-up's success has likely drawn attention to biohacking and wellness technologies in a new way here. What specific elements resonated most with the US audience? In a data-driven culture, a key element that has resonated deeply with consumers is the real-time biohacking experience offered by the body scan, which allows customers to see immediate results—such as reduced inflammation and lower metabolic age—after just one session. This instant feedback creates a powerful sense of transformation and empowers repeat visits, as people appreciate seeing tangible improvements in their health and longevity.  This combination of ancient wisdom with modern technology has made the Iyashi Dôme a standout wellness experience in the U.S. market. What sets it apart is its ability to target multiple aspects of health. Offering a unique combination of heavy metal detoxification, muscle recovery, weight loss, and improved sleep, all in one treatment; which ultimately appeals to a broad range of wellness-focused individuals. Now that the Miami pop-up has introduced Iyashi Dôme to the U.S., what are your plans for expansion in North America? Are there specific cities, events, or partnerships you’re looking forward to? Following the success of our Miami pop-up, we’re excited to continue expanding Iyashi Dôme’s presence across North America. We've already made significant strides with recent expansions into Mexico and Chile, and our first commercial location in the U.S. just opened in New York City at Reforme , an immersive beauty and recovery space. Moving forward, we plan to expand further on the East Coast and beyond by forging new partnerships with spas, wellness hotels, and luxury and innovative real estate developments. One of our most exciting upcoming collaborations will take place in January 2025, with Reto Health, a cutting-edge wellness center that will feature state-of-the-art recovery, fitness, and biohacking technologies in Miami. We are also exploring opportunities to partner with luxury resorts and wellness destinations, creating more accessible ways for people to experience the transformational benefits of the Iyashi Dôme across North and South America. Our goal is to make this niche wellness technology available to a wider audience while continuing to build our presence in major wellness hubs and hospitality groups.
