This is how PathFinder Health has performed their annual checkups. The labs are first so the doctor can focus on any trouble areas that arise. "For an asymptomatic patient, it's not that they're never going to see a physician in person, they just might not be prioritized," said Lisa Lehmann, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School who sits on BellSant's advisory board of health experts. "When they do see a physician in person, that person is going to be armed with a lot more information about the patient." #preventivecare #preventivehealth #preventivemedicine #preventivehealthcare #preventivecheckup #annualcheckup #virtualcheckup #chronicconditions

How can I live in perfect peace when so much evil surrounds me? That is the question we are all asking today. If you are reading or listening to the news, the stress of being aware of what is happening is enough to make one sick (literally). The Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States estimates that stress accounts for about 75% of all doctor’s visits. Occupational Health and Safety News and the National Council on Compensation of Insurance find that up to 90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related complaints. Stress wrecks our entire body According to this Healthline.com article, stress causes headaches, depression, heartburn, insomnia, rapid breathing, weakened immune system, risk of heart attack, high blood sugar, fertility problems, stomachache, erectile dysfunction, low sex drive, missed periods, and tense muscles. The Reader's Digest article “What Stress Does to Your Body” (Feb. 2024) goes on to describe these results of stress: A chemical rush of cortisol, adrenaline and norepinephrine. These hormones can destroy neurons, leading to brain atrophy, shrinkage or damage to the prefrontal cortex. Your muscles tense up: clenching of the jaw, grinding teeth, TMJ disorder, tight shoulders with pain Stomach: churns, microbes have to adapt, intestinal permeability increased (leakiness of the intestines), acid reflux (heartburn), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Heart: narrowing of arteries in the heart, decreased blood flow, palpitations, hyperventilation, arrhythmias, blood vessels tighten and constrict and can cause tingling in the toes, blood pressure raises (hypertension) Lungs: more susceptible to coughing because your immune system is shut down, and viruses can take root more easily. Skin: flushing, itching, inflammation, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, lines, wrinkles, premature aging of skin Sleep: sleep less, toss & turn Reproduction: missed cycles, reduced fertility, erectile dysfunction, impotence Muscles/joints: sore backs, arms, legs, hands, feet, swelling, pain, stiffness, tendonitis, scarring Stress causes epigenetic change The information below is summarized from You Are the Placebo by Joe Dispenza (page 101). The “Relaxation Response” causes 1561 genes to change: 874 upregulated (turned on) for health (immune function, etc.) 687 downregulated (turned off) for stress (inflammation, etc.) Stress sets off: 1,400+ chemical reactions 30+ hormones and neurotransmitters changes Bill Johnson: “For believers, unforgiveness is the greatest cause of affliction.” I agree. When I live in judgment it produces stress and wrecks my health. I (Mark Virkler) have experienced this numerous times in my life. Stress is caused by gazing upon the evil around you More: https://lnkd.in/eZmic7ss

"Being physically and mentally healthy is important as a physician because you need to be healthy to provide quality care for your patients," says John Shufeldt, MD, JD, MBA, FACEP. "Patients expect their medical professionals to 'be on' and to have their full attention. If you are tired or do not feel your best, you will not be focused on your patients, which could lead to problems. In order to properly diagnose or care for a patient, a physician must have their own health in check." Great article from our founder on how he changed some of his health habits and the practices he recommends for other physicians. https://lnkd.in/gV8Yb3Bb #physicians #healthcareprofessionals #healthcarecareers

Reflecting on my own journey, I recall a time when visits to the doctor were few and far between, and the significance of preventative care meant nothing to me. As men, as we navigate through life, various responsibilities and societal norms may impede our focus on our well-being. The excuse list grows as we age: family commitments, demanding careers, and perhaps a skepticism towards traditional medicine. However, neglecting routine health checkups and screenings can inadvertently shorten our lifespan. The influence of "masculinity norms" often perpetuates a hesitancy among men to seek medical attention, especially preventive care. When compounded with racial disparities, men of color face additional challenges in prioritizing their health. It's crucial to acknowledge that by obtaining the knowledge of healthy living practices and fostering the resolve to act upon it, we have the power to avert numerous health issues. By proactively addressing our health needs, we not only empower ourselves but also set a positive example for those around us. Let's prioritize our well-being and redefine what it means to embody strength and resilience. #HealthAwareness #PreventativeCare #EmpowerYourHealth #MensHealth #WellnessJourney #Remarkable #Novanthealth
Putting off that routine checkup? This patient says waiting almost cost him his life.

Here to inspire hope through my journey||Medical doctor || Medical Researcher || Creative Writer|| Author||
𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗝𝗢𝗕 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝟯𝟵/𝟱𝟮 Every day, the shortage of healthcare practitioners become increasingly glaring. The patient-to-doctor ratio becomes increasingly imbalanced, making the provision of health care not only inadequate, but potentially dangerous. In the clinics, only a specific number of patients can be seen weekly, those who do not make the list have to come back at a later time, thus the number of people who don’t get to see the doctor increases with each appointment. In the face of an ongoing but currently subtle health crisis, I’ve listed a few approaches that people who seek health care services from a doctor can take: →This is not the time to be rude and impatient at a doctor's appointment! Your doctor is probably taking on the work load of at least 3 other people, and cannot afford extra emotional stress from the people he/she is sworn to care for. → This is the time to pay more attention during your doctor's appointment: This also applies to those who accompany relatives to the hospital. Keep a note of what the doctor said the last time, medications, investigations, ask questions to clarify as much as possible. → Prioritize your health: Now, more than ever, you must adopt the habits that preserve your health for the long term, this is not the period to be careless about what you eat, as well as other health choices you make. In the end, while delivering quality health care is the responsibility of your healthcare providers, you must learn to prioritize your health and be mindful of it too. Think there’s someone or two on your timeline who needs to see this? Then repost ♻️ till they see it too! PS: This was my last week in the Surgery department, and I am beyond excited to get to my holiday to-do list🤭😅. #linkedin #medicine #housemanship

I help practitioners express their unique healing style to deliver efficient, transformative care-- without burnout.
As a healthcare practitioner, we serve ourselves (and our patients) better if we recognize the multitude of worlds inside ourselves: the detail-oriented hall monitor 📝, the careless free spirit 😎, the sensitive 🥰 and emotional toddler 🍼. All of these personalities come together in a variety of ways to create our unique self 💕 THIS is who patients are excited to learn from. THIS imperfect, messy, gorgeous and fascinating human being is what patients seek out. We are ever dynamic and changing, but the elements remain the same: sturdy Rock, reflective River, free-flowing Wind, and excitable Flame. When you know your Catalyst Archetype, you can begin recognizing areas to help yourself balance your energy and time. As Catalysts, we give ourselves permission to prioritize self-expression, curiosity and creativity as vital, and I hope you give yourself permission to color outside the lines as well! #healthprofessional #healthcaremarketing #socialmediafordoctors #socialmediaforhealthcare #fmcmsolution #functionlamedicine #functionalmedicinecoach #functionalmedicinedoctor #fxmed #fxmedicine #functionalnutrition #functionalnutritionist #holisticnutrition #naturopathicdoctor #integrativemedicine #integrativenutritionhealthcoach #quiz #holistichealthcoach #holistichealthcoaching #healthcoaches #healthcoaching #healthbizlife
