Innovation Scout Kathlean de Monchy who quite often shares trending insights on CNN invited all to Summer Brunch Bites and Beauty Inspirations at the Southampton Arts Center in Southampton, New York on August 25, 2018.

Guests were treated to delicious brunch bites and refreshments as they listened to guest speakers on the topic of health, exercise and anti aging.

Guest speakers included Dr. Erin Gilbert MD, PHD Board-certified dermatologist and neuroscientist Mary Ann Browning - CEO and Founder Browningfitness and Karen Mehiel-Five Pillars Yoga.

These ladies discussed new developments that increase hydration and elasticity in skin by over 30 percent, how this is achieved from a scientist's perspective Strength Training and Nutrition that works and how to de-stress to live longer.

Dr. Gilbert discussed the benefits of the supplement Athearn.

The founder of AETHERN®, Abili Falcó i Buixeda, was born in the Mediterranean seaside town of Roses, not far from the French border. It’s close to Figueres, the hometown of surrealist Salvador Dalí. Roses is also home to the restaurant of world renowned chef Ferran Adrià. Adrià is associated with “molecular gastronomy” although he likes to refer his cooking as deconstructivist: “Taking a dish that is well known and transforming all its ingredients.”

And with AETHERN®, Abili has taken inspiration from his countrymen… drawing upon art and imagination, like a great painter, and synthesizing that creativity with the brilliant gastronomic technique of a great chef. AETHERN®’s is transforming all its ingredients with its formulation, to create a skin care program that is about beauty from within, advanced nutrition feeding the skin what it needs to thrive, merging beauty with science.

After a successful career as CEO of Spain’s largest food distribution company, with an emphasis on quality first, Abili became fascinated with the possibility of creating the next generation of food supplements – one that eliminated the traditional, difficult chore of consuming multiple pills on a daily basis. As a result, BiorganicPharma, S.L. was born, with the artful, science-based notion to take food supplementation to an extraordinary new level: producing unique liquid formulas that can be consumed with convenience, taste and – most of all – great results.

Indeed, AETHERN® is a company committed to contributing to the wellbeing of people and Nature, developing innovative solutions and using natural ingredients.

Karen Mehiel discussed the importance of a daily routine of yoga.

Five Pillars Yoga was founded by Karen Mehiel, a self-described yoga devotee, and Olga Palladino, an experienced yoga teacher and practitioner. Karen and Olga yearned for a studio in their own neighborhood that would bring a more meaningful and balanced approach to the practice of yoga. They desired a deeper context as well as to share yoga “off the mat,” and founded Five Pillars in answer to this need. With an eye towards aesthetics and ambiance, they designed the studio space to be bright, inviting, and warm — a beautiful atmosphere in which to explore the beauty of yoga.

Karen and Olga met while working together in support of an NGO bringing comprehensive health care to a remote island community in the Democratic Republic of Congo. With a shared passion for service, they strive to continue supporting worthy environmental, humanitarian and charitable initiatives through fundraising and awareness building through yoga.
