Our Entertainment & Sports Today’s TV Show Host: Margie Rey did an amazing in-depth interview with Tom Smith, who is the owner of a few companies, with products that can really change your life for the better! For more details checkout: mydfx.com, DFXPowerball.com, DynaFlexPro.com, and Hbot Pro.The Powerball gyro exerciser (see above photo) is a dynamic handheld tool that uses spinning resistance to strengthen your grip, tone your forearms, and boost wrist endurance. Enhance your arm, wrist, hand & grip strength within 3-5 minutes a day! Dynamic arm toning and sculpting device with up to 45 LBS of resistance built-in gyro mechanism generates results comparable to weight lifting.

In the 1990s, physical therapists began exploring new ways to rehabilitate patients with wrist, hand, and forearm injuries. They discovered that spinning a hand-held gyroscope created increasing resistance the faster it turned. This resistance was smooth, low-impact, and ideal for strengthening small stabilizer muscles—making it highly effective for treating conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and repetitive strain injuries.

The physical therapy movements for carpal tunnel and tennis elbow, are the same movements you’ll need to do to keep the gyro in motion, and as the benefits became more widely known, athletes and trainers quickly adopted gyroscopic devices for performance training. Rock climbers, tennis players, golfers, and even musicians found that these tools helped build grip strength, wrist control, and endurance. The more effort you put into spinning the gyro, the more resistance it generated—offering a unique form of progressive overload without the need for traditional weights.

DFX took the concept to the next level, refining the design for both rehabilitation and performance. Devices like the Powerball added features such as LED lights, ergonomic grips, and heavier internal rotors to suit more advanced users. Today’s gyroscopic trainers are versatile tools used for everything from forearm workouts to full-body coordination drills—blending the worlds of engineering, rehabilitation, and athletic performance.

BUT, what is even more amazing and life changing is their HBOTPRO, that provides advanced hyperbaric oxygen therapy in state-of-the-art chambers servicing the retail and wholesale markets.

This hyperbaric chamber is the same as what the late legendary Pop singer Michael Jackson used, except with a lot more advanced technology and major improvements since when he used it.

 They specialize in state-of-the-art hyperbaric chambers, delivering therapeutic oxygen at increased pressure, with increased oxygen levels promote faster recovery and overall health improvements, and customized monoplace chambers for optimal therapy and patient comfort. It is great for Rehabilitation, and it heals faster and makes you feel better. HBOT helps reduce inflammation, speed up recovery, and support your body’s repair process.

The Hyperbaric Chamber, is designed for professional use in clinics and hospitals, particularly for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), but now are available to rent by the hour. These chambers offer higher atmospheric pressure to support HBOT protocols for athletes and other individuals. 

  • Professional Use:

    Specifically designed for use in clinics and hospitals, catering to the needs of athletes and other individuals requiring higher pressure HBOT protocols. 

  • Higher Atmospheric Pressure:

    Supports HBOT protocols that require greater pressure for optimal therapeutic effects. 

  • Compact and Lightweight:

    The HBOTPro is designed to be a compact and lightweight unit, making it suitable for various professional settings. 

  • Luxury Features:

    Includes features like an extra-large window for a more comfortable patient experience. 

  • Comprehensive Support:
    HBOTPRO Hyperbaric Chambers provides expert user, technical, and medical support, ensuring safe and effective HBOT delivery. 
HBOT and its benefits:

HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, which can help with wound healing, infection control, and overall tissue repair. HBOT is also used to treat conditions like decompression illness and carbon monoxide poisoning. 

HBOT can potentially offer benefits for:
  • Wound Healing:

    HBOT can accelerate healing by delivering oxygen-rich plasma to damaged tissues. 

  • Infection Control:

    The increased oxygen levels can enhance the body’s ability to fight infections. 

  • Tissue Repair:

    HBOT can promote the development of new blood vessels and connective tissue, aiding in tissue repair. 

  • Athletic Recovery:

    HBOT is used to enhance athletic performance and recovery from injuries. 

  • Brain Health:
    HBOT can potentially improve brain function and recovery from concussions and traumatic brain injuries. 
Important Considerations:
  • Professional Guidance: It’s crucial to undergo HBOT under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals. 
  • FDA Approved Uses: The FDA currently approves HBOT for a limited number of conditions. 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment where you breathe concentrated oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This helps your lungs absorb more oxygen than normal, which boosts circulation and speeds up your body’s natural healing processes. It’s a safe, non-invasive therapy used to support recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve overall wellness.

Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Safe?

YES — Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a safe, medically established treatment when used properly.

Here’s how it works:

  • In HBOT, you’re inside a chamber filled with pressurized air, not pure pressurized oxygen.

  • The air pressure is higher than normal — usually about 1.5 to 2.0 times atmospheric pressure — which allows your lungs to absorb much more oxygen naturally.

  • Oxygen is delivered through the increased air pressure, not by forcing high-pressure oxygen directly into your body.
    This distinction is important: the therapy gently raises the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream without the risks associated with pure pressurized oxygen.

In short:
The chamber pressurizes air, and you breathe oxygen within that air. Your body’s cells simply absorb more oxygen because of the increased pressure, safely and naturally:Margie & Steve Taylor will be trying this amazing hyperbaric chamber out for ourselves, to show you how it works, and how it can really help to improve your health dramatically, with no negative side-effects!

Margie had a fascinating interview with Dr. Nathan Bryan Ph.D., who is the founder of Bryan PHD  Therapeutics, Inc., Nitric Oxide Innovations LLC, Pneuma Nitric Oxide LLC (N1o1.com), & Bryan Nitriceuticals LLC (NO2U.com) He is the International Leader in Molecular Medicine!

The Doctor taught us about the benefits of using Nitric Oxide on your skin to have a better blood flow through your blood vessels! This is a revolutionary N1o1 Anti-Aging Serum by Dr. Nathan S. Bryan.

At his booth down on the floor of the Fit Expo convention the Doctor put some of this cream on our right hands, and within seconds Margie and I were both able to see the blood vessels on our right hands get bigger than the blood vessels on our left hands, to help increase the circulation of our blood!This pioneering skincare product combines the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of Nitric Oxide with 20% Vitamin C to defy the signs of skin aging. N1o1 supports the stimulation of collagen production and revitalizes the flow of oxygen, hydration, and nutrients to your skin cells.

As we age, Nitric Oxide production decreases, contributing to skin aging. N1o1 Anti-Aging Serum helps replenish Nitric Oxide levels, directly combating the root causes of skin aging-wrinkles, dark spots, fine lines, and loss of tone and texture. Backed by 20 years of research and proven effective in four clinical studies, our unique patent-pending formula generates Nitric Oxide molecules visible working on the skin within seconds. With regular use, most notice the disappearance of wrinkles, reduced pore size, improved skin tone and texture, increased clarity, and reduction in dark spots.

We will be using the N1o1 Nitric Oxide Lozenges, developed by Dr. Nathan S. Bryan, to boost natural N.O. production rapidly as they dissolve. We will do a follow-up show to tell you about all the great benefits of using them, such as:

  • Enhance oxygen and nutrient delivery to cells
  • Support cardiovascular health
  • Aid normal heart function
  • Support healthy blood circulation and blood pressure
  • Create healthy blood flow to the brain and other organs

The expo, which saw over 60,000 attendees, proved to be the perfect stage for Linear to introduce its revolutionary product. With such a smashing success, the brand has officially arrived – and the fitness world is taking notice.

& The FIT Expo 2025 in Anaheim was no different, again people were talking about  Linear bar: a healthy and nutritious organic bar that also tasted great! SEE ABOVE PHOTO. We tried this bar, and can verify all the good benefits, without any bad or harmful ingredients, and would like to give you an education on what to look out for that is bad for you, and direct you into the right direction to find nutrition bars, drinks, foods and supplements that are good for you. So 1st. the bad to try to avoid: 

Processed foods are engineered to enhance flavor, texture, and shelf life but are often loaded with harmful ingredients that can negatively impact health. These foods typically contain high levels of refined sugars, unhealthy fats, chemical additives, and preservatives, which can contribute to a range of health problems. Regular consumption of processed foods is linked to weight gain, insulin resistance, increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and chronic inflammation. Protein bars, marketed as health products, are not exempt from these harmful ingredients and often contain many additives that contribute to long-term health risks. If your Protein Bar contains any of the ingredients below, you might consider choosing a better bar.

Use this checklist to confirm what your protein bar likely contains:

  1. Added Sugar
    Found in many protein bars, added sugars contribute to various health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
  2. Processed Sugar or just “Sugar” on the label
    Found in many protein bars, processed sugars contribute to various health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

  3. Aspartame
    An artificial sweetener that has been associated with headaches, dizziness, and possible links to more severe health conditions such as cancer and neurological disorders.
  4. Artificial Colors
    Linked to hyperactivity in children and potential carcinogenic effects, artificial colors are used to enhance the appearance of foods but offer no health benefits.

  5. Artificial Sweeteners
    Used as sugar substitutes, artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose can disrupt gut bacteria and may be linked to metabolic disorders and increased appetite.
  6. Carrageenan
    A thickener and stabilizer that can cause inflammation in the digestive system and has been linked to gastrointestinal issues, including bloating and colitis.

  7. Canola Oil
    A highly processed oil, often chemically extracted and refined. Canola oil is rich in omega-6 fatty acids and has been associated with inflammation and increased risk of chronic diseases.
  8. Corn Oil
    Another omega-6 rich oil. It is often highly processed and may contribute to increased inflammation and the development of metabolic diseases.
  9. Cottonseed Oil
    Frequently used in processed foods. It is heavily refined and contains omega-6 fatty acids, which can exacerbate inflammation and disrupt the omega-3/omega-6 balance.
  10. Dextrose
    A form of glucose often added to processed foods. It can spike blood sugar levels and, over time, contribute to insulin resistance and weight gain.
  11. Erythritol
    Another sugar alcohol used as a sweetener. While less likely to cause digestive distress than maltitol, large quantities can still lead to bloating and gas.
  12. Glucose Syrup
    A refined sweetener that raises blood sugar rapidly, leading to potential weight gain and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
  13. Grapeseed Oil
    Though marketed as healthy, this oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids and often extracted using chemical solvents. Its consumption can lead to inflammatory responses in the body.
  14. High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)
    A common sweetener in processed foods that contributes to obesity, fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, and increased risk of heart disease.
  15. Hydrogenated and Trans Fats
    These fats are found in many processed foods, including some protein bars. They can raise LDL (bad) cholesterol and lower HDL (good) cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease.
  16. Maltitol
    A sugar alcohol used as a sweetener. It can cause bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort, particularly in people with sensitivities. It may also raise blood sugar levels in some individuals.
  17. Maltitol Syrup
    A sugar substitute often found in protein bars. It can cause digestive issues such as bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, especially in sensitive individuals.
  18. Maltodextrin
    A highly processed starch that can spike blood sugar levels and potentially harm gut health. It can also lead to weight gain and metabolic imbalances.
  19. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

    A flavor enhancer used in many processed foods. It has been associated with headaches, allergic reactions, and adverse effects on brain health in sensitive individuals.

  20. Natural Flavors
    You may have seen the term “natural flavors” on ingredient lists. These are flavoring agents that food manufacturers add to their products to enhance the taste. However, this term can be pretty confusing and even misleading. Given the number of chemicals that may be part of a natural flavor mixture, adverse reactions may be possible.

  21. Nitrites/Nitrates

    Commonly used as preservatives in processed meats, these chemicals can form harmful compounds called nitrosamines, which have been linked to cancer.

  22. Peanut Oil
    Commonly used in processed foods. Peanut oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids and may lead to inflammation and an increased risk of heart disease.
  23. Polydextrose
    Polydextrose is a complex carbohydrate made from glucose. It’s made in a lab and is not digested by the body. People use polydextrose for constipation, prediabetes, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
  24. Polysorbates
    Emulsifiers used in processed foods that may contribute to gut inflammation, disrupt gut bacteria, and exacerbate metabolic issues when consumed frequently.
  25. Potassium Sorbate
    A preservative used to prevent mold and yeast growth in processed foods. It has been linked to skin allergies and respiratory issues in some people.

  26. Rice Bran Oil
    Used in many processed foods, rice bran oil is often refined and may contain omega-6 fatty acids that contribute to inflammatory conditions.

  27. Safflower Oil
    Another omega-6 fatty acid-rich oil that can promote inflammation and contribute to chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease when overconsumed.

  28. Sodium Benzoate
    A preservative that can form benzene, a known carcinogen, when combined with vitamin C in foods. It may also contribute to hyperactivity in children.

  29. Soy Lecithin
    An emulsifier derived from soybeans. Though generally recognized as safe, it may cause digestive issues in sensitive individuals and could be derived from genetically modified soy.

  30. Soybean Oil
    High in omega-6 fatty acids, soybean oil can increase inflammation and has been linked to obesity and metabolic disorders when consumed excessively.

  31. Sucralose
    Another artificial sweetener that may negatively affect gut health by reducing beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiome. It can also contribute to glucose intolerance.

Sunflower Oil
High in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation in the body when consumed in excess, leading to chronic conditions like heart disease and arthritis.

& now the good and healthy, like from LinearBar.com, who said:

“Maybe we have had a similar journey… you know it starts off by making up your mind to eat healthier and develop better habits, but let’s face it sticking to a plan can be challenging.

I am a big advocate for organic whole foods, but being as busy as I am, it is not always easy to find healthy foods and snacks readily available. I found myself running into stores and looking for food that would satisfy my hunger, but that wasn’t loaded with nasty chemicals, fillers, and preservatives. When I found a protein bar with cleaner ingredients, it usually left a bad aftertaste.

That started an idea, what if we could make something that was clean, healthy, and organic that had all the decadence of a candy bar that set off at least 20g of protein and an overall taste explosion that would make you question if this could really be a healthy bar.

For the 2nd time in a row we interviewed the health experts at the booth for DermaFit, which is a team of researchers, scientists, and dermatologists, that diligently explored the realms of skin science, and through their exhaustive investigations, they unearthed trans-somes – remarkable exosomes equipped with the unique ability to transport microRNA directly to the muscles. Their findings revealed their unparalleled potential in precisely targeting and suppressing the genes accountable for muscle loss. It is the world’s first and only muscle retention cream, and is a step forward in the world of skin health solutions! Trans-somes, traversing from the skin to muscles, carrying microRNAs crucial in regulating genes responsible for muscle loss. They pinpointed substances adept at modulating trans-some secretion and their microRNA content. These findings culminated in patented active ingredients exclusively found in dermaFIT.  It’s a non-sticky, swiftly absorbed product that efficiently combats muscle loss. Three of our news staff tried it last year at the Anaheim Fit Expo, and we can all tell you that we had some amazing results as they told us that would happen! To buy a few bottles of their fantastic cream go to: https://dermafit.com
