“Sugar-free” does not necessarily mean risk-free.

New research involving more than 17,000 people has raised questions about xylitol, a widely used sugar substitute found in products such as sugar-free chewing gum, jams, yoghurt, ice cream and some oral-care products.

Researchers found that people with the highest levels of xylitol in their blood had a significantly greater risk of major cardiovascular events, including heart attack and stroke.

Importantly, this study shows an association, not proof that xylitol causes cardiovascular disease. More research is needed to understand exactly what this means for everyday consumption.

Still, it offers an important reminder: replacing sugar with something labelled “sugar-free” does not automatically make a product healthier.

Read your labels. Know what you are consuming. And wherever possible, build your diet around whole and minimally processed foods rather than simply replacing one highly processed ingredient with another.

Wellness begins with awareness.

On this sacred observance of Youman Nabi, I extend warm and heartfelt greetings to the Muslim community across Guyana.

As Muslims reflect upon the life and teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), may the values of compassion, humility, charity, patience and service to humanity resonate far beyond the walls of our mosques and within the heart of our entire nation.

Guyana is a beautiful tapestry of peoples, cultures, faiths and traditions. Our strength does not come from all of us believing the same thing, but from our ability to respect one another, celebrate together and recognise the humanity that binds us.

In a world where division can so easily take root, may occasions such as Youman Nabi remind us that kindness requires no shared religion, compassion recognises no race, and respect needs no common background.

May we continue building a Guyana where we look after our neighbours, extend a hand to those in need, speak to one another with dignity, and allow our differences to enrich rather than divide us.

To our Muslim brothers and sisters, may this observance bring peace, reflection and renewed purpose to you and your families.

And to all Guyanese, may its message inspire us towards a more compassionate, respectful and united nation.

Youman Nabi Mubarak to the Muslim community, and may peace and goodwill prevail throughout our beautiful Guyana.

Building Strong Foundations, We’re Here 😊

Dauntless Professional Therapeutic Bodyworks is on location today at the Shaw’s Academy Mortgage Readiness Masterclass, powered by Republic Bank.

Our chair is set, the Dauntless banner is up, and we are ready to introduce another important dimension to the conversation about building a secure future, physical wellness.

Throughout today’s Masterclass, participants will have an opportunity to experience complimentary 5-minute therapeutic chair massage sessions, incorporating hands-on therapeutic massage and percussion therapy where appropriate.

I’ll also be sharing my brief wellness presentation, “Building Your Dream Home Without Breaking Your Body”, connecting the journey of homeownership with stress management, musculoskeletal health and caring for the body that will carry us through everything we are working so hard to build.

There is something powerful about seeing financial wellness and physical wellness sharing the same room.

After all:

A house needs a strong foundation to stand.
So does the person working to build it.

Thank you once again to Mr. Gregory Shaw and Shaw’s Academy for welcoming Dauntless into this space, and to Republic Bank for powering today’s Masterclass.

Building Strong Foundations

Financial Wellness × Physical Wellness

Today, Dauntless Professional Therapeutic Bodyworks is pleased to collaborate with Shaw’s Academy at its Mortgage Readiness Masterclass, powered by Republic Bank.

There is something particularly meaningful about this collaboration.

Financial wellness and physical wellness may appear to occupy two very different spaces, but both contribute to the same goal: building a secure, sustainable and fulfilling life.

While Shaw’s Academy guides participants through the process of becoming financially prepared for homeownership, Dauntless will be there to highlight another investment that deserves equal attention, their health and physical wellbeing.

As part of today’s Masterclass, I will deliver a brief wellness presentation entitled “Building Your Dream Home Without Breaking Your Body”, exploring stress, posture, musculoskeletal health and practical ways of protecting the body throughout the journey of homeownership.

Dauntless will also provide attendees with complimentary 5-minute therapeutic chair massage experiences, incorporating hands-on therapeutic massage and percussion therapy where appropriate.

A house needs a strong foundation to stand.
So does the person working to build it.

My sincere thanks to Mr. Gregory Shaw and Shaw’s Academy for recognising the value of incorporating physical wellness into a programme centred on financial preparedness and homeownership, and to Republic Bank for powering this important initiative.

I look forward to today’s collaboration and to continuing to find meaningful ways of bringing health and wellness into spaces where people are planning, building and investing in their futures.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of working with a distinguished Barbadian who, whenever they visit Guyana, entrusts me with their care.

Today, I had the honour of treating two distinguished Trinidadians.

As a Guyanese who received my professional training in Trinidad and Tobago, moments like these remind me that the Caribbean is far more than a collection of islands and mainland territories, it is one family.

This is what the vision of One Caribbean truly looks like, knowledge acquired in one CARICOM nation, applied in another, and trusted by people from across our region.

Professionalism, mutual respect and confidence know no borders.

May we continue to build a Caribbean where our greatest resource is not merely our natural wealth, but our people, their skills, and our willingness to support one another. 🙏🏽

One Caribbean. One People. One Future.
