August 2026 Newsletter, White Label Newsletter, and Toolkit
Happy August!
Hope you are enjoying all of your new tools.
We launched the new Member Dashboard — a home base where all your libraries, videos, recipes, calculators, health calendar, linked handouts, and this newsletter are in one place.
We also added a search box to both the Handout Library and PowerPoint Library. Hundreds of handouts were added and updated and there are over 1650 now.
And we added new PowerPoint shows in many categories.
The Stir It Up cooking video series is ramping up and popular - you can even show the videos in classes or use them in events.
A Health Calculators page is built just for members, with eight interactive tools including BMI, calorie needs, hydration, blood pressure, cholesterol, heart risk score, the CDC Prediabetes Risk Test, and a MyPlate daily score
Your August toolkit is below. We hope you are enjoying all of the beautiful summer produce.
Cheers!
