  • The 7 Virtues Launches Buttercream Haze, The Rebel Gourmand

    The 7 Virtues Launches Buttercream Haze, The Rebel Gourmand

    Brand welcomes new leaders Lori Wachs and Hope Bonneville, grows to 2,100 Sephora doors globally, and debuts its boldest gourmand yet

    HALIFAX, NS / ACCESS Newswire / October 7, 2025 / The 7 Virtues, the trailblazing clean beauty brand behind best-selling Vanilla Woods, widely recognized as one of the first major gourmand vanilla perfumes in the clean space, announces its newest launch, Buttercream Haze. A decadent gourmand with a rebellious streak, Buttercream Haze arrives exclusively at Sephora in 19 countries just in time for the holiday season.

    Leadership Momentum
    The 7 Virtues welcomes two seasoned leaders to help guide its next phase of growth: Lori Wachs, Investor and Board Director. Lori is the Founder and Managing Partner at Penultima Capital, a venture capital firm investing in women-led, growth-stage consumer companies. An active public and private investor in the consumer and retail space for more than 30 years, she was named to the Forbes 50 Over 50 list in 2024. Lori has served on numerous boards including K18 (acquired by Unilever), Alchemy 43, Safely (Board Observer), and the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy (former Board Chair).

    Hope Bonneville, Vice President of Marketing. Hope joins from Kendo Brands, where she was Director of Global Brand Marketing for Fenty Beauty and Fenty Fragrance. She previously held leadership roles at Urban Decay Cosmetics, guiding global communications, social media, and experiential events. She is also the founder of Cohorts, a boutique marketing and events agency, and brings a proven track record of building global brand love and community.

    Global Expansion
    As the brand scales its international footprint, The 7 Virtues is opening 170 new Sephora doors in Europe, bringing its total door count to 2,100 stores worldwide. Growth markets include Spain, Italy, Poland, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Germany, the UK, Denmark, and Sweden.

    Buttercream Haze: Indulgence Without Rules
    Buttercream Haze is gourmand excess reimagined for a new era of clean beauty. Bright lemon zest and buttercream icing swirl with a dash of rum essence, evoking the magic of warm cake as it’s sliced open. A fluffy pancake accord and maple crème melt into toasted caramel, conjuring syrupy weekend mornings. At the base, whipped vanilla, creamy sandalwood, and cashmere musk linger like a second slice. Crafted with responsibly sourced Italian bergamot and upcycled sandalwood oils, Buttercream Haze delivers indulgence with integrity.

    “This is my love letter to breaking rules. I don’t measure the vanilla when I bake, I bite straight into the cake, and I tease that I don’t give a fork,” says Barb Stegemann, Founder & President, The 7 Virtues. “As the only Canadian perfume and the only B Corp perfume at Sephora, trailblazing has always been in our DNA. I actually went blonde for this perfume launch because doing what feels right for me and for you is the heart of our mission. That’s why, as we grow to 2,100 Sephora doors, I’m thrilled to welcome leaders like Lori Wachs and Hope Bonneville, true trailblazers who share our culture of challenging convention and shaping the future of fragrance. Our MO is to do what makes you flourish.”

    Buttercream Haze leads two bold new campaigns: Layer Cake™, The 7 Virtues’ signature layering story that invites perfume lovers to stack gourmand on gourmand, and We Don’t Give a Fork, a cheeky celebration of indulgence without rules. At Sephora, clients are invited to literally “bake” their own layer-cake blend by layering gourmands the way you would a Layer Cake™, frosting, filling, and all. (A hint of other gourmands to come.)

    Clean, Long-Lasting, Purpose-Driven
    With aromatherapy benefits written directly on every package, Buttercream Haze is best for sparking sweet joy, melting stress, and soothing the soul. Every perfume at The 7 Virtues is Clean at Sephora, made without phthalates, parabens, and a list of over 100 ingredients. The fragrances are formulated with double the fragrance oils (22%) and infused with organic sugar cane for longevity. An independent third-party lab verified they last up to 24 hours and linger through the weekend.
    As part of its mission-driven approach, The 7 Virtues will donate partial proceeds from Buttercream Haze to Days for Girls, a global nonprofit working to end period poverty and expand access to menstrual health education and products. This initiative is part of The 7 Virtues’ origin story and its Make Perfume Not War™ mission, rooted in the belief that empowering girls and ending period poverty is the way to end war and build peace.

    Availability and Pricing
    Buttercream Haze launches exclusively at Sephora in 19 countries, including Canada, the U.S., and the UK. It will be available in a 50 ml Eau de Parfum for $94 USD / $127 CAD and a 10 ml Travel Spray for $32 USD / $43.50 CAD.

    About The 7 Virtues
    Founded by activist, keynote speaker, and best-selling author Barb Stegemann, The 7 Virtues is the clean beauty brand redefining fragrance with purpose. Launched in 2010 and propelled onto the global stage through Dragons’ Den and Sephora’s Accelerate program, The 7 Virtues creates hypoallergenic, sustainable perfumes designed to blend effortlessly, with third-party-tested up to 24-hour lasting power made possible by 22% fragrance oils.

  • Moment of Clarity’s Oceanside Location Expands Veteran and Community Depression Treatment With Operation Clarity

    Moment of Clarity’s Oceanside Location Expands Veteran and Community Depression Treatment With Operation Clarity

    Oceanside, CA October 07, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Moment of Clarity has announced the launch of Operation Clarity, a specialized outpatient program for veterans seeking treatment for depression and related mental health conditions. The initiative, based at the Oceanside facility, provides a structured and compassionate pathway for service members while also expanding access to the wider community through existing outpatient programs. With Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Partial Hospitalization (PHP), and evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, CBT, and DBT, the center has become one of the most recognized destinations for people searching for “depression treatment in Oceanside” and across San Diego’s North County.

    The Oceanside facility has established itself as a trusted resource for patients not only in the city but across neighboring coastal and inland communities. Veterans and civilians alike travel from Camp Pendleton, Carlsbad, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Del Mar, Encinitas, Solana Beach, La Costa, Aviara, and San Marcos to participate in outpatient treatment. The location’s accessibility and reputation for quality have also made it a destination for families in Vista, Escondido, and Rancho Santa Fe, who recognize the benefit of advanced outpatient care close to home.

    Depression Treatment Center in Oceanside, California.

    Operation Clarity was designed to meet the unique needs of veterans navigating depression and related challenges. The program combines the discipline of structured outpatient care with the compassion of clinicians experienced in trauma, PTSD, and transitional stress. Veterans receive individualized treatment plans that emphasize accountability, group support, and evidence-based therapy, ensuring they progress through recovery with both structure and autonomy. Community leaders in Oceanside, a city with deep military ties, have praised the initiative as a vital new resource for local service members and their families.

    For the broader community, Moment of Clarity continues to offer flexible outpatient programs that match treatment intensity to patient needs. The IOP provides multiple therapy sessions each week, balancing structured recovery with the ability to maintain employment, education, and family life. The PHP offers extended daily programming for those requiring a higher level of support, often serving as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization. These options ensure patients receive treatment that fits their circumstances without forcing them to leave their communities.

    Clinical excellence remains at the heart of the Oceanside approach. Therapies such as CBT help patients challenge the negative thinking patterns that fuel depression, while DBT provides tools for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and healthier communication. EMDR addresses unresolved trauma, enabling patients to reduce the emotional intensity of difficult memories that often contribute to depressive episodes. By combining these evidence-based therapies, Moment of Clarity equips patients with both immediate coping strategies and long-term skills for resilience.

    Families across Carlsbad, Encinitas, and Solana Beach often describe the Oceanside center as more than a treatment facility—it is a community where patients feel supported and understood. Many highlight the professionalism and dedication of staff, emphasizing that loved ones are included in the process through family sessions and education. This inclusive model not only strengthens recovery but also improves communication and relationships beyond the walls of the clinic.

    Accessibility continues to make the Oceanside location a preferred choice for residents throughout North County. Patients from Del Mar, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Rancho Santa Fe note that outpatient treatment allows them to balance demanding careers, family commitments, and personal goals while still prioritizing their mental health. By eliminating the need for long commutes to distant facilities or residential stays, the outpatient model makes advanced therapy realistic and sustainable.

    The introduction of Operation Clarity reinforces the Oceanside facility’s role as a leader in outpatient depression treatment. By addressing the specific needs of veterans while continuing to serve the broader community, the center is expanding both its reach and impact across Southern California. Patients across Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, Encinitas, Solana Beach, and Escondido increasingly turn to Moment of Clarity for its blend of evidence-based therapies, flexible structures, and compassionate staff.

    As the demand for accessible, high-quality mental health care continues to rise, Moment of Clarity stands out for its ability to combine advanced clinical expertise with a deeply human approach. For those searching for outpatient depression treatment in Oceanside and surrounding areas, the facility offers not only comprehensive care but also hope for long-term recovery.

  • Press Advantage Reveals How Off-Page SEO is Evolving in 2025 from Backlinks to Brand Mentions

    Press Advantage Reveals How Off-Page SEO is Evolving in 2025 from Backlinks to Brand Mentions

    Las Vegas, NV – October 07, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Press Advantage, a leading press release distribution service, today announced its perspective on the fundamental shift occurring in off-page SEO strategies in 2025, with brand mentions emerging as an increasingly critical factor alongside traditional backlink building.

    The Las Vegas-based company, which has served over 19,000 clients since 2014, identifies a significant transformation in how search engines evaluate website authority and relevance. While backlinks have long dominated off-page SEO strategies, the evolution toward entity-based search and semantic understanding has elevated brand mentions to equal importance in establishing digital authority.

    “The SEO landscape has fundamentally changed from simply counting backlinks to understanding brand presence across the digital ecosystem,” said Jeremy Noetzelman, CEO of Press Advantage. “Search engines now recognize and value unlinked brand mentions as trust signals, particularly when they appear on established news platforms. This shift means businesses need to think beyond traditional link building and focus on comprehensive brand visibility strategies.”

    The evolution reflects broader changes in search engine algorithms that prioritize entity recognition and semantic relationships. Brand mentions help establish what industry experts call entity salience, where search engines understand not just what a brand does, but its authority and relevance within specific contexts. This development particularly benefits businesses using Press Advantage for Agencies, as agency clients can leverage press release distribution to build both traditional SEO value and enhanced brand recognition simultaneously.

    Press releases have emerged as a particularly effective vehicle for generating authentic brand mentions across authoritative news platforms. When distributed through established networks, press releases create natural brand references on major media outlets, contributing to what search algorithms increasingly recognize as legitimate brand signals. These mentions, even without direct links, help establish entity relationships that search engines use to understand brand authority and relevance.

    The shift also aligns with growing emphasis on expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness signals that search engines use to evaluate content quality. Brand mentions on reputable news sites serve as third-party validation of business legitimacy and industry relevance, factors that traditional backlink strategies alone cannot fully address.

    Press releases distributed through professional networks generate Brand Mentions with Press Releases across hundreds of news outlets, creating a digital footprint that extends far beyond traditional backlink metrics. These mentions contribute to what search engines interpret as natural brand growth and authority development, factors that have become increasingly important in ranking algorithms.

    “Companies that adapt to this evolution will find themselves better positioned for sustainable search visibility,” added Noetzelman. “The integration of brand mention strategies with traditional SEO approaches creates a more robust and algorithm-resistant optimization framework that serves businesses well regardless of future search engine updates.”

    Press Advantage operates as part of Velluto Tech Incubator, founded in 2011, and maintains its headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company provides comprehensive press release writing and distribution services to businesses of all sizes, with distribution networks spanning major outlets including ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX affiliates, Yahoo Finance, and Digital Journal. The company maintains an active presence on PA LinkedIn where it shares industry insights and best practices for leveraging press releases in modern digital marketing strategies.

  • Medicus Pharma Ltd. to Present at the Family Office Summit in Dubai, UAE

    Medicus Pharma Ltd. to Present at the Family Office Summit in Dubai, UAE

    EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN & CEO OF MEDICUS TO PARTICIPATE IN A PANEL DISCUSSION

    The Summit theme “unlocking the $1 Trillion Wealth transfer in Dubai”

    PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 7, 2025 / Medicus Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ:MDCX) (“Medicus” or the “Company”), a biotech/life sciences company focused on advancing the clinical development programs of novel and potentially disruptive therapeutics assets, is pleased to announce that it will present at the Family Office Summit in Dubai with the theme of “Unlocking the $1 Trillion Wealth Transfer in Dubai”.

    Panel Discussion Event Details

    Date: October 9, 2025
    Time: 11:20-11:50 a.m. local time
    Location: Park Hyatt, Dubai

    The summit will bring together thought leaders, opinion makers, executives and entrepreneurs from around the world to deliberate on unlocking the wealth transfer in Dubai.

    Dr. Raza Bokhari, Medicus’s Executive Chairman & CEO, in his presentation, will focus on innovation in biotech/life sciences sector, the role of Artificial intelligence (AI) in drug development as well as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Genomic project as an untapped differentiator.

    Additional information on the Family Office Summit is available on the event website at https://familyofficesummit.ae/dubai/.

    Medicus is currently conducting a Phase 2 clinical study for SKNJCT-003 in nine (9) clinical sites across the United States which commenced randomizing patients in August 2024. SKNJCT-003 is a double blinded, placebo controlled triple arm proof of concept Phase 2 clinical study, designed to non-invasively treat basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin using novel, patent protected, dissolvable Doxorubicin-containing microneedle arrays (D-MNA). In March 2025, the Company announced a positively trending interim analysis for SKNJCT-003 demonstrating more than 60% clinical clearance. The interim analysis was conducted after more than 50% of the then-targeted 60 patients in the study were randomized. The findings of the interim analysis are preliminary and may or may not correlate with the findings of the study once completed.In April 2025, the investigational review board approved to increase the number of participants in SKNJCT-003 to ninety (90) subjects. The Company is expanding its trial sites in Europe and has randomized more than 75% of the ninety (90) participants expected to be randomized in the study. In September 2025, the company received positive feedback from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding its Type C meeting supporting the development of Skinject, indicating that the company may follow 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway to non-invasively treat BCC using dissolvable D-MNA.

    The Company also has a clinical study (SKNJCT-004) currently underway in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study is expected to randomize thirty-six (36) patients in six (6) sites in the UAE. Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi (CCAD) is the principal investigator, along with Sheikh Shakbout Medical City (SSMC), Burjeel Medical City (BMC), Rashid Hospital (RH), Clemenceau Medical Center (CMC) and American Hospital of Dubai (AHD). Insights Research Organization and Solutions (IROS), a UAE-based contract research organization, is coordinating the clinical study for the Company. IROS is a M42 portfolio company.

    In August 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Antev, a UK-based late clinical stage biotech company, developing Teverelix, a next generation GnRH antagonist, as a first in market product for cardiovascular high-risk advanced prostate cancer patients and patients with first acute urinary retention relapse (AURr) episodes due to enlarged prostate.

    Antev’s flagship drug candidate is Teverelix trifluoroacetate (Teverelix TFA), a long-acting gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist. Unlike GnRH agonists, which can cause an initial surge in testosterone levels, Teverelix directly suppresses sex hormone production without this surge, potentially reducing cardiovascular risks. This mechanism is particularly beneficial for patients with existing cardiovascular conditions. Teverelix is formulated as a microcrystalline suspension, allowing for sustained release and a six-week dosing interval, which may improve patient compliance and outcomes.

    About Medicus Pharma Ltd.

    Medicus Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDCX) is a biotech/life sciences company focused on accelerating the clinical development programs of novel and potentially disruptive therapeutics assets. The Company is actively engaged in multiple countries, spread over three continents.

    SkinJect Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Medicus Pharma Ltd., is a development stage, life sciences company focused on commercializing novel, non-invasive treatment for basal cell skin cancer using a patented dissolvable microneedle patch to deliver a chemotherapeutic agent to eradicate tumors cells. The Company completed a phase 1 safety & tolerability study (SKNJCT-001) in March of 2021, which met its primary objective of safety and tolerability; the study also describes the efficacy of the investigational product D-MNA, with six (6) participants experiencing complete response on histological examination of the resected lesion. The Company is currently conducting a randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicenter clinical study (SKNJCT-003) in the United States and Europe. The Company has also commenced a randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicenter clinical study (SKNJCT-004) in the United Arab Emirates.

    In August 2025, the Company announced its entry into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (the “MoU”) with Helix Nanotechnologies, Inc. (“HelixNano”), a Boston Based biotech company focused on developing a proprietary advanced mRNA platform, in respect of their shared mutual interest in the development or commercial arrangement contemplated by the MoU. The MoU is non-binding and shall not be construed to obligate either party to proceed with a joint venture or any further development or commercial arrangement, unless and until definitive agreements are executed.

    In August 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Antev, a UK-based late clinical stage biotech company, developing Teverelix, a next generation GnRH antagonist, as a first in market product for cardiovascular high-risk advanced prostate cancer patients and patients with first acute urinary retention relapse (AURr) episodes due to enlarged prostate.

    Antev’s flagship drug candidate is Teverelix trifluoroacetate (Teverelix TFA), a long-acting gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist.

This mechanism is particularly beneficial for patients with existing cardiovascular conditions. Teverelix is formulated as a microcrystalline suspension, allowing for sustained release and a six-week dosing interval, which may improve patient compliance and outcomes.

    In September 2020, Antev completed a Phase 1 clinical trial in which Teverelix was shown to be well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities and demonstrated rapid testosterone suppression. The study included 48 healthy male volunteers. In February 2023, Antev also completed a Phase 2a study in fifty (50) patients with advanced prostate cancer (APC), where Teverelix achieved the primary endpoint of greater than 90% probability of castration levels of testosterone suppression (97.5%) but the secondary endpoint of maintaining this rate above 90% was not met with the probability dropping to 82.5% by Day 42.

    In January 2023, the FDA, reviewed the Phase 1 and Phase 2a data and provided written guidance on Antev’s proposed Phase 3 trial design for Teverelix. This milestone supports the Company’s clinical plans to develop Teverelix as a treatment for advanced prostate cancer patients with increased cardiovascular risk.

    In December 2023, FDA approved the Phase 2b study design in advanced prostate cancer covering 40 patients.

    In November 2024, FDA approved the Phase 2b study design in acute urinary retention covering 390 patients.

  • Virginia Doctor Calls for Reform of Physician Non-Competes That Limit Patient Access

    Virginia Doctor Calls for Reform of Physician Non-Competes That Limit Patient Access

    Phoenix Advocacy Network releases a policy statement highlighting how overly broad non-compete clauses keep doctors from practicing and worsen patient-care shortages across Virginia and the U.S.

    Oct. 6, 2025 / PRZen / DALLAS — Physician non-compete clauses are facing growing scrutiny as health-care access declines nationwide. In Virginia, these restrictions are enforceable only when “narrowly tailored” and aligned with public policy, yet many contracts still bar doctors from serving their own communities.

    Dr. Sharisse Stephenson, a board-certified neurologist and founder of Phoenix Advocacy Network, experienced how extreme language can limit ability to practice. I had a non-compete clause which prohibited me from practicing within an entire region of a state. For physicians who want to keep serving patients, that isn’t a contract term; it’s extinction,” she said.

    Virginia law already restricts non-competes for low-wage workers (Va. Code § 40.1-28.7:8), and as of July 1 2025, the ban will expand to non-exempt employees. The Federal Trade Commission has likewise proposed a nationwide rule eliminating most non-competes, citing their harm to wages and public access to care.

    “Patients suffer when experienced physicians are locked out of their own communities,” said Stephenson. “These clauses were meant to protect business goodwill, not to keep doctors from practicing medicine. It’s time for policymakers to finish what the FTC started.”

    Dr. Stephenson is personally aware of several physicians who have been forced to relocate for the full duration of similar non-compete clauses, spending up to two years away from their homes, families, and established patient bases before they could return to practice. These restrictions not only disrupt the lives of physicians but also reduce access to care in the very communities that already face provider shortages.
