Supporting Emergency Responders With F1RST

FRISCO, TEXAS – Thorne HealthTech, Inc. (“Thorne HealthTech” or “Thorne”) (NASDAQ: THRN), a leader in developing innovative solutions for a personalized approach to health and wellness, today announced a partnership with F1RST (First Responder Stress & Trauma) and Sports Academy at The Star in Frisco, Texas, to support critical health and wellness needs of first responders in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

F1RST and Sports Academy are working closely with first responder departments in the metropolitan area to provide a comprehensive and immersive first responder program that will focus on resilience training and wellness support to optimize performance both on and off duty. These strategic approaches will promote occupational longevity, as well as a better quality of life for first responders and their families.

"First responders often don't receive the help and resources they so need when it comes to health and wellness support," says Paul Jacobson, CEO of Thorne HealthTech. "By teaming with F1RST and The Sports Academy at The Star, we can support an entire community through nutritional supplementation, personalized recommendations, and education."

As part of the program, participants will have access to culturally competent therapists, board-certified physical/manual therapists, cognitive trainers, human performance coaches, and Thorne’s nutrition specialists. First responders will also have access to Thorne’s deep portfolio of personalized offerings, including at-home health tests that provides individualized data, as well as education resources and products that support specific health and wellness goals and needs.

"Knowing just how critical it is to strategically fuel and recharge first responders with optimal nutrition and supplementation, we are incredibly confident that our partnership with Thorne will truly make a difference in the community,” says Dr. Heather Twedell, Founder of F1RST and First Responder Psychologist. “Because first responders are constantly exposed to trauma and threats, it is imperative that first responder departments have the resources and support to make sure they are properly equipped from a health and wellness standpoint. Healthier first responders lead to healthier communities, and we are confident that this partnership is a foundational step in the right direction.”
