FREEHOLD, N.J., April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Avalon GloboCare Corp. (“Avalon” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ALBT), a commercial-stage company dedicated to developing and delivering precision diagnostic consumer products, today announced that it has partnered with Pounds Transformation Clinics, led by Dr. Charles Cavo, a member of the Zero to Keto Affiliate Marketing Program, to launch the “BrAce 4 Impact Challenge Series.” This new collaboration has already debuted its inaugural challenge in conjunction with Pounds Transformation’s 4-week Diet Challenge, incorporating KetoAir™ breathalyzer devices as a motivational tool. KetoAir™ devices are now available on consignment at all three Pounds Transformation locations in West Hartford Center, Southington, and Glastonbury, Connecticut.
Following the successful conclusion of the 4-week BrAce 4 Impact Challenge Pilot on March 18, 2025, Pounds Transformation is kicking off the first official BrAce 4 Impact Challenge starting April 1, 2025. “I saw a patient today from the BrAce 4 Impact Challenge pilot who is doing extremely well,” said Dr. Charles Cavo. “She uses the KetoAir™ three times a day and has never experienced this level of weight loss before. Her BrAce readings remain around 12ppm, and she’s never felt better. The KetoAir™ keeps her ‘honest’ and on track. With the level of results our patients are achieving with the help of the KetoAir™, it is our intent to begin new BrAce 4 Impact Challenges every six weeks,” added Dr. Cavo. To further support participants, Pounds Transformation has assigned a dedicated coach as the daily point of contact throughout the Challenge Series.
Pounds Transformation is a Connecticut-based health and wellness clinic focused on long-term weight management. Their programs address the root causes of weight gain through evidence-based interventions, ongoing support, and regular monitoring of key health markers.
KetoAir™ is a handheld breathalyzer, specifically engineered for ketogenic health management (United States FDA registration number: 3026284320). KetoAir™ measures an individual’s breath acetone concentration (BrAce), a ketone body that rises as fat oxidation increases. By leveraging the nano-sensor-based technology, the KetoAir™ breathalyzer is designed to assess the ketosis status of its individual user and is accessible on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
“We are very pleased with the expansion of our partnership with Pounds Transformation clinics,” said David Jin, M.D., Ph.D., CEO of Avalon GloboCare. “It’s rewarding to see the KetoAir™ device have such a positive impact on their patient programs, supporting real-time, personalized insights that empower individuals on their wellness journey. This partnership highlights our shared commitment to delivering innovative, accessible tools that improve health outcomes and encourage long-term lifestyle changes.”
“Integrating the KetoAir™ Breathalyzer into our programs allows our patients to track their ketone levels in real time, helping them stay motivated and engaged in their daily routines,” said Dr. Charles Cavo, Co-founder of Pounds Transformation. “Many of our patients have struggled with weight loss for years. KetoAir™ provides immediate feedback that helps validate their progress, reinforce positive behavior, and improve accountability. It’s become a valuable tool in helping our patients understand their bodies and take control of their health in a sustainable way.”
