JYM Supplement Science and Jordan’s House are teaming up to help fuel fitness and support families with special needs, thanks to a bold new initiative. JYM is an evidence-based supplement brand founded by renowned exercise physiologist and Yale research fellow Dr. Jim Stoppani, while Jordan’s House is a nonprofit dedicated to providing respite care and resources for families of children with special needs.

This unique, first-of-its-kind philanthropic venture marks a meaningful reunion between former “Muscle & Fitness” colleagues Dr. Jim Stoppani and Jimmy Peña. The partnership is complete with Mario Lopez, a longtime friend and supporter who has trained with Stoppani and Peña, joining to promote the cause. Together, the three are transforming strength into service.

A Partnership That Gives Back

Between October 21 and December 31, 2025, each purchase of the limited-edition Pro JYM Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookie Protein Powder will help families in need. Ten percent of net sales will be donated to Jordan’s House to support weekend respite programs and caregiver initiatives.

This partnership broadens JYM’s mission beyond mere performance, turning individual physical strength into a collective community strength. What began as a shared fitness passion among Stoppani, Peña and Lopez has developed into a movement that revitalizes both the body and the soul, imbuing every scoop of Pro JYM with purpose.

Teamwork Rooted in Belief

As Dr. Jim Stoppani, Founder of JYM Supplement Science, details, “At JYM, we’ve always believed in fueling more than just workouts. We fuel lives. By partnering with Jordan’s House, we’re channeling our passion for fitness into real, tangible support for families who need it most.”

“Jordan’s House was built on love, faith, and the belief that caregivers deserve care, too,” chimed in Jimmy Peña, Founder of Jordan’s House. “This partnership with Jim and JYM Supplement Science transforms fitness into philanthropy, helping fund respite and hope for families like ours.”

About JYM Supplement Science
