Align Probiotic and Alison Sweeney Transform Classic NYC Streetscapes Into Unmissable Messages About Gut Health

Business Wire25-06-2025
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Occasional bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort are all signs that your gut needs attention. Yet, too often, we ignore the signs our bodies send us. Today, Align Probiotic — the #1 doctor and gastroenterologist recommended probiotic brand ‡ — is teaming up with award-winning actress and health advocate Alison Sweeney to make gut health impossible to overlook by creatively altering everyday New York City sights into powerful reminders to listen to your body.
This unique activation will take place at the Oculus Plaza, where Align Probiotic will transform common NYC street elements into bold, attention-grabbing displays about digestive health. Visitors will encounter classic city fixtures strikingly reimagined as signs that it's time to pay more attention to your gut health: a street sign named "Bloating Ave," a park bench and a newspaper box vandalized with graffiti messages like "Gas" and "Bloating." The immersive installation will also feature local taxi cabs and a souvenir pop-up shop filled with items cleverly designed with messages your gut has been trying to tell you. This can't-miss experience serves as a powerful reminder that gut health deserves just as much attention as the signs we see every day. Alison Sweeney will be present at the Oculus Plaza to engage with the public, share her own experiences, and encourage everyone to tune into their gut health.
'Like most people, I'm constantly juggling family and work obligations, often tuning out the little signs my body occasionally gives me,' said Alison Sweeney. 'Together with Align Probiotic, our goal is to ensure people don't dismiss occasional feelings of bloating or discomfort but instead learn to listen to and trust their gut.'
Align Probiotic features a unique strain, B. longum 35624™, which naturally helps maintain digestive balance and relieve occasional bloating and gas.* With this campaign, Align wants to emphasize the importance of taking care of one's gut and encourage consumers to listen to the subtle signals their bodies send every day.
'Occasional digestive issues can hold us back and make us feel uncomfortable. And with busy lifestyles, it's easy to overlook the signs our body is giving us, but there is a point when we realize we might be ignoring an important issue,' said Ryan Parker, Brand Director, Align Probiotic. 'That's why we're here – to help reframe the signs of digestive issues as your inner voice to be trusted. We want to help people see the signs, listen to their body, and take action. If you're experiencing and frustrated by occasional bloating and gas, this is your gut giving you a message. It's a sign that it's time to try Align."
Iconic signs are everywhere, not just in your gut! Align Probiotic is extending the message nationwide by hosting a sweepstakes for a chance to win a trip for two to visit an iconic American 'sign' (Hollywood, Welcome to Las Vegas, or Radio City). To enter, consumers can follow, like and tag a friend in the campaign post on Align Probiotic's Instagram page @AlignProbiotic. The sweepstakes encourages everyone to tune into their gut health, ensuring that this critical wellness priority receives the attention it deserves.

Saquon Barkley among NFL stars who will join President Trump's council on Sports Nutrition

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will join Harrison Butker, Nick Bosa, Tony Romo, and Lawrence Taylor on President Trumps Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.' Saquon Barkley is a son, a fantastic father, the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year winner, and now a member of President Donald Trump's administration. In a move that will revive a standard from the Reagan, Clinton, and Bush era, Barkley will join Harrison Butker, Nick Bosa, Tony Romo, and Lawrence Taylor on President Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.' According to the Washington Post, President Trump on Thursday announced that the presidential fitness test, a hallmark of American physical education programs, will be making a comeback in public schools. The assessment was retired and replaced by a fitness program under the Obama administration. The presidential fitness test was initiated in the 1950s by a council established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower that was directed to improve the physical fitness of American youths, in response to fears they were falling behind their European counterparts when it came to athleticism. The project is an alternative way to get anti-obesity drugs to Medicare and Medicaid patients, after the administration said in April that neither program would cover GLP-1s for weight loss. In doing so, it scrapped a 2024 Biden administration proposal for the programs to start covering GLP-1s for patients with obesity. Several high-profile athletes — all of whom have existing ties to Trump — attended the ceremony and will serve on the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. The attendees included professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau, who will chair the council; controversial National Football League kicker Harrison Butker; World Wrestling Entertainment mainstay Paul 'Triple H' Levesque; golfer Annika Sorenstam; and football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor. The Eagles running back wasn't in attendance, but will be joined by golfers Jack Nicklaus, Nelly Korda, and Gary Player (who was also awarded the Medal of Freedom alongside Sorenstam); Tony Romo, Nick Bosa, and Barkley; legendary hockey player Wayne Gretzky; and baseball player Mariano Rivera. The list also includes NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, whom Trump repeatedly scrutinized during his first presidential term. Barkley was criticized during the off-season for spending time with President Trump on a golf outing prior to the Eagles' ring celebration.

Multiple medical groups say they have been barred from work on CDC's panel of vaccine advisers

Multiple medical groups say they have been barred from working on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's panel of vaccine advisers. It comes weeks after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired the original panel of independent experts and replaced them with his own handpicked members -- many of whom have expressed skeptical views on vaccines. Liaisons representing major medical groups were historically invited to meetings of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) as non-voting members to provide their independent expertise in respective fields. In a joint statement, the groups said they have now been excluded "from the process of reviewing scientific evidence end informing vaccine recommendations." A total of eight groups signed on to the statement, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, teh American College of Physicians, the American Medical Association and the National Medical Association among others. In a statement provided to ABC News, an HHS spokesperson said: "Under the old ACIP, outside pressure to align with vaccine orthodoxy limited asking the hard questions. The old ACIP members were plagued by conflicts of interest, influence, and bias. We are fulfilling our promise to the American people to never again allow those conflicts to taint vaccine recommendations." The statement went on to say: "Experts will continue to be included based on relevant experience and expertise, not because of what organization they are with." In their statement, the medical organizations said they learned the groups will be excluded from the panel's work in an email late Thursday and noted they were "deeply disappointed and alarmed" by the move. "To remove our deep medical expertise from this vital and once transparent process is irresponsible, dangerous to our nation's health, and will further undermine public and clinician trust in vaccines," the statement read.
