Tech-Enhanced Wellness Finds That Help You Recharge on YourUpdateTV
Top-Rated Wellness Tech on Prime Day Lifestyle expert Meaghan Murphy partners with D S Simon Media and RENPHO to spotlight self-care tools designed to relieve screen fatigue and promote rest — all on sale now. NEW YORK, July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Prime Day deals hit full swing, RENPHO's best-selling eye massagers are gaining buzz for their smart design, built-in relaxation features, and relief from digital fatigue. Featured products: RENPHO Eyeris 1 Eye Massager Perfect for winding down at the end of a long day, the Eyeris 1 delivers a calming blend of air compression, gentle heat, and Bluetooth-enabled music playback to help users release tension around the eyes and temples. It targets 10 acupressure points around the orbital area and is particularly helpful for dry eyes, puffiness, or digital strain from prolonged screen exposure. With multiple massage modes and a soft clamshell design, it's both highly effective and travel-friendly RENPHO Eyeris 3 Eye Massager: For those looking for a premium experience, the Eyeris 3 builds on the foundation of the Eyeris 1 with voice control, a cooling gel mask, and a wider fit that supports better comfort across the face and nose bridge. Users can activate massage modes hands-free by saying, 'Hi Eyeris,' and select from multiple temperature and pressure levels — from light temple compression to full acupressure-based therapy. Ideal for puffy eyes, headaches, or trouble sleeping, it's the ultimate upgrade for screen-tired eyes, with a portable build and travel bag included. Meaghan calls these 'like a spa moment for your face,' and also reminds viewers that other RENPHO best-sellers — like the Mini Thermal Massage Gun, Smart Tape Measure, and 2025 Foot Massager — are all on sale now for Prime Day as well. All featured items are available on Amazon with special Prime Day pricing from July 8th through July 11th.

Beyond Finance's Financial Wellness Therapist Discusses the Impact of Financial Stress on YourUpdateTV
The Silent Strain: How Financial Stress Is Taking a Toll on Men's Mental Health Half of men admit to hiding money behaviors as shame and silence reshape emotional well-being and relationships. NEW YORK, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new survey shows that just 27% of men rate their mental health as 'excellent"—and when it comes to financial health, that number drops even lower to just 15%. It's a silent struggle for many men, especially when financial stress goes unspoken. Recently, Nathan Astle, Certified Financial Therapist at Beyond Finance conducted a satellite media tour in partnership with D S Simon Media to shed light on the connection between money and mental health—and what men can do about it. A new national survey from Beyond Finance, one of the first of its kind, reveals a troubling trend — financial distress is fueling a silent mental health crisis among men, driven by secrecy, shame, and isolation. Men's financial stress and mental health are deeply intertwined The survey of 2,000 U.S. men found a powerful link between financial strain and emotional well-being. Only 27% of men rated their mental health as 'Excellent,' and even fewer — just 15% — felt the same about their financial health. Over 25% rated their finances as 'Poor' or 'Not Very Good,' while 10% gave the same rating to their mental health. This parallel between financial hardship and emotional distress suggests that for many men, money isn't just a numbers issue. It's a mental health issue. More than half of respondents (57%) said they are currently in debt with credit card debt (62%), mortgages (34%), and auto loans (30%) cited as the most common types. The emotional impact of debt is clear: men reported feeling frustrated (38%), anxious (29%), overwhelmed (28%), and embarrassed (19%) because of their financial situation — yet nearly a quarter (22%) don't feel comfortable seeking out financial advice from anyone. Other key findings from the survey: Financial infidelity is common and often driven by shame Half of men admitted to keeping financial secrets from a spouse or partner. Among those in committed relationships, the most common money secrets included: The top reasons for hiding these behaviors were: The mental health cost of the online sports betting boom The rise of online sports betting is making matters worse. The survey found that nearly 1 in 5 men (19%) have placed a sports bet online in the past year. Of those, nearly three-quarters (74%) have placed an online sports bet in the last week, and 23% said they've gambled online in the last 24 hours. According to the findings, 4 in 10 sports betters (40%) believe they're likely to win a large amount of money, yet only 16% said their financial wellness has improved because of it. More than 1 in 10 of those in relationships (13%) admitted they've kept their sports betting activities a secret from their partner, and a third (33%) said they don't tell their partner how much they win or lose. A call for empathy and action The survey revealed that when seeking help, 41% of men feel comfortable confiding in their partners, while only 25% would actually seek their partner's financial advice. Only 19% would confide in friends and 16% seek their financial counsel, while over 20% would prefer to go it alone. Surprisingly, nearly 40% of respondents feel that their financial situation has made them feel disconnected from friends, and 37% said they avoid friendships that make them feel financially insecure. 'Beyond Finance's research findings point to a broader cultural issue: Men are emotionally overwhelmed by money, yet afraid to seek help. Shame, secrecy, and silence are driving real harm, not only to personal finances, but to relationships, careers, and mental health,' said Nathan Astle. To help change this, Astle offered up the following tips: Since 2011, Beyond Finance has helped more than 700,000 people, resulting in over $2 billion of client debt being paid off.
