Red Pill Moment: 5 Reasons to Escape the Healthcare Matrix and Hack Your Health Ditch the Big Pharma blues and unplug from the healthcare hamster wheel. It's time to hack your health and break free from the limitations of the traditional system. Here are 5 reasons to break the matrix and take control of your well-being: 1. Empowered Patient, Empowered Future: Stop being a passive cog in the medical machine. Become an active participant in your own health journey. Learn about alternative therapies, functional medicine, and preventive care. Knowledge is power, and the internet is your library. 2. Question the Paradigm: Don't blindly accept the one-size-fits-all approach. Challenge diagnoses, research treatment options, and don't be afraid to seek second opinions. You are the CEO of your body, so make informed decisions with a critical eye. 3. Prioritize Prevention: The healthcare system thrives on treating illness, not preventing it. Take matters into your own hands by focusing on nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management. Invest in your present to avoid paying the price in the future. 4. Embrace Integrative Solutions: Modern medicine isn't the only answer. Explore functional medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and mindfulness practices. Often, a holistic approach yields better results than a single-track system focused on pharmaceuticals. 5. Tune into Your Body: Ditch the endless diagnostic tests and listen to your body's whispers. Intuition is a powerful tool. Learn to understand your body's biofeedback and treat the root cause, not just the symptoms. The healthcare matrix offers comfort, but it also dictates your choices. Stepping outside may be scary, but the freedom and potential for self-directed wellness are worth the leap. Share your own healthcare awakening stories in the comments below!

In my weekly reading on medical updates on recent research, this one caught my attention:   Have you ever wondered where the idea of 10,000 steps/ day came from and if it really makes a difference? Here are some recent answers.   Movement is included in everyone’s treatment plan. Movement is vital, I believe to health. In helps with mood affects multiple system: cardiovascular, lymphatic. For some it helps their bowels stay more regular. I recommend everyone watch this video titled 23 and ½ hours on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/e7x8YQzd   10,000 Steps?  Ten thousand steps a day. The magic number that's said to optimize health and longevity. How did they come up with that? Turns out the 10,000-step goal is rooted more in marketing vs. science It started in 1965 in Tokyo, Japan, where a company released an early step counter, calling it manpo-kei — or "10,000 steps meter." The marketing suggested this number of steps would reduce the risk for heart disease.   How Many Steps Make a Difference? Today we know that health benefits kick in long before 10,000 steps. But just how many daily steps do you need? Walk with us and find out…   Just 2500 steps, or about a mile, are enough to begin reducing your risk of dying of cardiovascular disease.   For every extra 500 steps — or one lap around a standard track — you lower that risk by another 7%.   Roughly 4000 steps helps reduce the risk for early death from any cause.   At 6000 steps, you may lower your risk for type 2 diabetes, particularly if you're an older woman.   Add 500 more, 6500 steps, may lower your blood pressure.   Pass 8000 steps to lower your risk for obesity, sleep apnea, and depression.   At 9800 steps, you may reduce your risk of developing dementia by 50%.   Now you've made it to 10,000 steps. But what happens if you keep going?   At 10,500 steps, your risk of dying of cardiovascular disease may be 77% lower than it was at 2500 steps.   At 11,000 steps, you've lowered your risk for hypertension, diabetes, depression, obesity, and sleep apnea by 25%-50% more than at 6000 steps.   And at 11,500 steps, the risk for early death may be 67% lower than it was at 4000 steps.   The average American takes 4800 steps a day. We dare you to do better. Because every step counts.   Mood   As many have discovered, movement is one of the best anti-depressants out there. A mere 2 days after I graduated from medical school, my beloved golden retriever, Sweet Gypsy, died. She was my sidekick and I was DEVASTATED. My friends knew the best thing for me was to get outside and MOVE. So we did a challenging hike. That was appropriate for me at the time. It shifted my mood dramatically. I wonder how many steps that hike was!! Have you "stepped" into the office for a winter tuneup? We hope to see you soon.   Dr. Angela & Lisa

🔥 Selling Lifestyle Medicine So Patients Want to Buy It 🛍 In this eye-opening clip from the latest episode of The Health Feast podcast, my co-host Po and I speak with Dr. Michelle Segar about how clinicians can promote lifestyle changes in their patients and clients. Michelle has dedicated her career over the last 30+ years to really fully understanding the human psychology behind health behaviors and motivation. Michelle's research highlights a key issue: Despite the benefits of exercise and nutrition, many struggle to make them a regular part of their lives. Michelle suggests the problem might be in how we 'sell' these concepts. As Michelle's work reveals, those who struggle with incorporating healthy behaviors often view health changes as chores rather than opportunities to feel good and experience joy. Phrases like #FoodAsMedicine and #ExerciseIsMedicine resonate within healthcare and may not appeal as much to the wider public because the 'medicine' frame feels like a chore. Even well-intentioned messaging, like emphasizing long-term health benefits, actually reinforces this chore frame. Michelle suggests a paradigm shift: Communicate the joy and pleasure of healthy living and have people focus on how they feel. Clinicians should focus on movement and nutrition's positive and pleasurable aspects rather than framing them as healthy behaviors. Imagine the impact of a healthcare approach that's not just evidence-based but also joy-based. How do those of us in #LifestyleMedicine and movements like #foodasmedicine and #exerciseismedicine align our messaging to resonate with the real wants and needs of those we serve?

‘Exercise is medicine’ To a lifestyle practitioner it sounds good, but… How does it FEEL to your audience? Recently I tuned into an episode of The Health Feast podcast and heard Michelle Seger give her take on ‘Exercise is medicine’... “That is not a science-based promotional strategy.” The host Dr Rak, went on to say how when using ‘exercise is medicine’ or ‘food is medicine’, what we’re really doing is saying “Instead of taking a pill, come do these CHORES that are good for you.” They weren’t saying exercise or food aren’t good for health. They were simply pointing out the word ‘medicine’ is a hook for clinicians — NOT the general public. Michelle also posed a great question: Since many patients DON’T adhere to their medications, why would we create a metaphor for exercise for a situation that in itself, isn’t all that successful? This is exactly what I coach my clients on for email marketing and launch copy. You have to know your audience, and use THEIR language in order to inspire them to act. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what Michelle’s, my, or your opinion is. What matters is what works. If you use ‘exercise is medicine’, or any other pillar of lifestyle medicine as ‘XXXX is medicine’ — how has your audience responded? #lifestylemedicine #healthandwellnesscopywriter #launchcopywriter **************** Hey, I'm Catherine, an email strategist and launch copywriter for lifestyle medicine practitioners.
