WEforum Health and Wellness Conference 2018
Regine Flimlin – Co-founder, juice basin Jersey’s original organic cold-press company (basin bar llc.)
Not All Juice is Created Equal
Wednesday, November 14 2:15-2:35 PM – LEARNING LECTURES (MAIN LOBBY / CENTER ATRIUM)
Why is it when you go to the grocer, two juices with almost the same exact ingredients are priced so differently? We are not talking a few cents rather a few dollars. How can that be? As well, the nutritional label for each bottle is so different. Which should you purchase and why does it matter?
Today’s discussion will lift the viel on bottled juice choices. The science and process of cold juice press manufacturing and the communities impacted by your purchases.
Regine Flimlin (nickname – Reggie) has been engaged in alternative lifestyle of health & sustainability (LOHAS) for over 25 years.
As the former Director of New York University’s Sport & Fitness curriculum, Reggie is also certified by Cornell University in HACCPA (hazardous analysis of critical control points of juice) as well, a nationally registered 500-hour yoga instructor. At juice basin she continues to develop new concepts in juice cleansing and raw foods, recently awarded the USPTO (United State Patent & Trademark) approval of Bridal Cleanse TM. She has traveled the globe (with the exception of the poles) and shares her knowledge educating others on the approach to sustaining a wellness lifestyle based on goals and personal limitations.
At juice basin, our continued focus is to marry USDA organic certified juice within urban communities. Saving the planet, its workers and bees one juice at a time motivates us to maintain our daily practice which is both physically and intellectually demanding due to national compliancy measures verified by the FDA & USDA organic certifiers while small batch manufacturing of over 2500 juices/week all hand pressed, hand mixed and hand bottled.
Committed to positive energy, we believe juice basin’s footprint should affect the community in positive growth, whether we equate that to job creation, wellness training for at risk populations or organic growing practices, it is a formidable mission for juice basin staff in all three locations: Jersey City, Montclair, and Asbury Park.
The public is increasingly aware of USDA organic certified alternatives and how they specifically fuel the body which makes us teachers to those just starting on the path of ”Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” Hippocrates.
