From San Francisco, we have Sandy Kleiman – founder of Healthy Culinary Coach.  She is an avid yogi who combines the practice of yoga and the practice of healthy cooking and eating to create a lifestyle that is sustainable. Her mantra is“Food is there to support optimal health.  And as she says “We all need to get back to the kitchen and get reacquainted with real whole foods”.  Great taste and nutrition can coexist.  She teaches people how that happens with joy and love.
And from New York, we have Tyler Pennock, Managing Director of Digital Health at Burson Mastella, one of the largest marketing and communication agencies in the world.

STARTLESS
One week in Vegas, several halls filled with tech, but only one official Best of CES Awards. After a few tortuous nights of shouting at each other, debating the merits of each of our finalists, we eventually decided on our winners. Congratulations to all our finalists and winners, and to anyone who’s survived this week of tech announcements, Vegas razzle-dazzle and occasionally dubious celebrity endorsements.
Best Startup: AmpStrip
We’ve seen fitness trackers in all shapes and forms, but AmpStrip’s Band-Aid-like sticker still managed to impress us. Together with a disposable sticky pad, it sits on your chest and monitors your heart rate, steps and other vitals. Basically, it offers most of the benefits of advanced wearable health trackers without getting in the way. It’s also waterproof, so it should be ideal for running a grueling triathlon. While it’s only in beta right now, AmpStrip expects to begin production this summer. — Devindra Hardawar, Senior Editor
Best Digital Health and Fitness Product: Bragi’s “The Dash”
What makes for an award-winning health and fitness gadget? We’d say wireless headphones with built-in fitness tracking and a personal trainer would be a good start. Bragi’s “The Dash” has those. They also serve as a standalone media player, double as a hands-free device and contain a heart-rate monitor. Oh, and they have intuitive touch-based controls. That’s a lot of tech for a pair of earbuds. All the more reason why they’re this year’s winner of Best Digital Health and Fitness Product. — James Trew, Deputy Managing Editor
