Vicky NewmanThis is REALLY an important podcast https://peterattiamd.com/davidlight/ -- Podcast -- #75 - David Light: Zantac recall due to cancer concerns - what you need to know. Makes me think that those of us in Project Apollo cohort should be able to obtain our prescribed meds through this online pharmacy to insure drug efficacy. Please send link to cohort & let's discuss possibility of using this online pharmacy. Best, Vicky

"Repeatable, Practical, Proven, Peer-Reviewed Science From cradle to the grave, your brain will process more events than there are stars in our universe. As your body's "central processing unit," your brain is in charge of a staggering array of functions, from processing and perceiving stimuli to motor control and memory storage. Habits and beliefs programmed into your mind over a lifetime of responding to experiences are stored in long-term memory, and may cause you to resist new ways of doing things. However, rapid shifts in neural activity can create new associations, habits or beliefs.1 NeuroGym's "Innercising" methods help you to adopt new perceptions and behaviors and solve old problems quickly and efficiently. Moreover, Innercising® applies practical mental training techniques shown through scientific research to improve mental and emotional functioning. 1. Sánchez-Cañizares, J. (2014).

"Neuroscience confirms that your brain changes throughout your lifetime, which is a concept known as neuroplasticity. It's the term used to describe a sequence of processes that take place in your brain in response to incoming stimuli. In other words, your emotions, behaviors, experiences, and thoughts physically change the way your brain functions."

"n the nearly 20 years since the publication of this report, numerous stakeholders have sought to reinvent and redesign the US health care system to make it, as the report called for, safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. Researchers have engaged in rigorous and innovative assessments to identify promising approaches. Policy makers, practitioners, and payers have made changes to health policy and clinical practice and instituted various payment reforms and demonstration programs. Yet, despite the tremendous work of the past 20 years, we have not achieved a health care system that is truly patient centered and equitable."

"The Annals of Internal Medicine just published a series of articles claiming: "New guidelines: No need to reduce red or processed meat consumption for good health. A rigorous series of reviews of the evidence found little to no health benefits for reducing red or processed meat consumption."   Yet a careful reading of these articles reveals the exact opposite! They found that dietary patterns with a moderate reduction in red and processed meat consumption had a 13% lower rate of premature death from all causes, a 14% reduction in cardiovascular disease mortality, an 11% decrease in cancer mortality, and a 24% decrease in the risk of type 2 diabetes.  "

"With approximately 133M Americans (more than 40% of the US population) suffering from one or more chronic diseases, the healthcare community is looking for more effective and efficient ways to manage chronic diseases. Part of that pursuit is in finding sustainable ways to help patients better understand their conditions and manage their health by empowering patients, connecting them to information, care, and therapies in ways they want. Join fellow innovators to work on a challenging, multi-faceted, meaningful opportunity to advance clinical care, quality of life, and outcomes for nearly half the US. How can we improve patient literacy and clinical understanding? How do we help patients feel more in-control of their medical care? What can be done to help patients understand when and where they should seek care? These are just some of the pain points begging for thoughtful, tech-enabled solutions."

"In my opinion, the fact that expectation does not match reality is the ultimate reason why many data scientists leave. There are many reasons for this and I can't possibly come up with an exhaustive list but this post is essentially a list of some of the reasons that I encountered."
