Did you know? Gastrointestinal diseases are more common—and costly—than many employers realize. Digestive health issues like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affect up to 70 million Americans each year—that’s twice the number of people living with diabetes (34.2 million). 📊 The impact on healthcare costs is staggering, with GI diseases racking up $141 billion annually in direct healthcare costs in the U.S., surpassing the costs for heart disease ($113 billion) and mental health disorders ($99 billion). 💸 Despite this, GI conditions often fly under the radar when employers design their benefits packages, leaving a significant portion of their workforce struggling in silence. It’s time to change that. At Oshi Health, we’re on a mission to transform GI care by providing high-touch, multidisciplinary treatment with the goal of helping patients achieve lasting symptom control. Join us in raising awareness and bringing Oshi’s virtual GI center of excellence to the workplace. 🔗 Learn why you may be missing these costs and how Oshi Health can drive meaningful outcomes and savings within your population: https://lnkd.in/ewiqVNb2 #DigestiveHealth #EmployeeBenefits #OshiHealth #WorkplaceWellness

Neglecting persistent perimenopausal symptoms jeopardizes both your health and mood. Research has shown that postponing diagnosis and treatment amplifies the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cognitive decline. By prioritizing hormone balance, you not only enhance your current well-being but also significantly diminish potential long-term risks. Embracing preventive measures, like maintaining a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management, is crucial. Prioritizing self-care, staying connected with healthcare professionals for regular check-ups, and promptly addressing symptoms contribute to a smoother transition through perimenopause. These steps are not just about improving your present state but also about reducing potential long-term health risk. #HormoneHealth #SelfCareMatters #perimenopause #menopause #veryperi #helloperi #healthylifetsyle #hormones #hormonalbalance #diagnosis #

Did you know? Stroke has become the 5th leading cause of death in women, with alarming statistics: 🔹 20% of women aged 55-75 are at risk of suffering a stroke. 🔹 10-15% of stroke victims annually are women aged 18-45 🔹 Young women may face higher stroke risks compared to men of the same age 🔹 Hormonal fluctuations, especially during menopause, increase the likelihood of blood clots, potentially leading to strokes. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of stroke is crucial: 🚨 Weakness suddenly appearing. 🚨 Difficulty with speech or word finding. 🚨 Blurred vision. 🚨 Sudden, severe headaches. Employers can play a pivotal role in mitigating these risks: 🌟 Educate your workforce about gender-specific stroke risks 🌟 Promote preventive healthcare measures 🌟 Encourage stress-reducing activities like yoga, Tai Chi, and mindfulness. 🌟 Advocate for diets rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, olive oil, and omega-three fatty acids. Let's work together to raise awareness and prioritize stroke prevention in our workplaces and communities. #StrokeAwareness #PreventionIsKey

Board Certified Medical Patient Advocate who helps navigate Chronic & Complex Disease; Education; Elder Care needs
As a patient advocate, I understand the impact of gut health on overall well-being. Did you know: 70% of the immune system interacts with the gut microbiome, impacting everything from digestion to chronic disease risk! Research suggests that gut bacteria diversity is reduced in individuals with various chronic diseases, like inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, and even depression. Studies have shown that altering the gut microbiome composition can improve symptoms of certain chronic conditions, indicating its potential therapeutic role. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of gut health issues is crucial for early intervention. If you're experiencing persistent bloating, abdominal pain, irregular bowel movements, or unexplained weight changes, don't ignore them. These could be indicators of underlying digestive issues. Trust your instincts and consult a healthcare professional to address any concerns promptly. Your gut health matters! #patientadvocacy#GutHealth#healthcare#AdvocacySavesLives#HealthPriorities#PatientAdvocacy#ChronicDisease#Stroke#TBI#Cardiovasculardisease#Dementia#Stress#Cancer#MedicalCare#InsuranceTreatmentQuestions#HealthcareCommunication#MedicalAdvice#AdvocateForYourself#TreatmentConcerns#MedicaSupport#InformedDecisions#HealthcareAdvocacy#HealthCareEmpowerment#EmpowerYourHealth#SelfCare#ChronicDisease#Stroke#Cancer#Autoimmunedisease#MedicalNavigation #PatientAdvocate #HealthcareJourney Advocation empowers patients with knowledge and informed decisions.

The narrative around #obesity and #weightmanagement is finally changing. Here’s a succinct perspective of current practice points.
Thanks to experts W Scott Butsch and Amanda Velazquez, MD, DABOM, the #Oprah Special last Monday provided valuable insight into what is currently known about the disease and treatment of #obesity: 1. Obesity is a #chronic disease. Similar to other chronic diseases, medications that treat obesity are meant to be taken lifelong 2. It is NOT a matter of willpower. It is about biology fighting back with varying degrees of strength and how that can affect one’s relationship with food. Maintaining weight loss under your set weight range can be like holding your breath under water. People with obesity do not want to have obesity 3. Patients with obesity need better #access to these medications. Would it make sense to have patients pay $1000 per month for their blood pressure medications? 4. Not weight loss medications. Obesity medications. We are not treating a number, but a #complex disease with various health implications 5. Medications are a TOOL for weight loss and are by no means “the easy way out”. They are to be taken alongside lifestyle modifications and can have many side effects. Patients taking them require ongoing care under a multidisciplinary team with expertise in obesity 6. Ongoing #education re: the disease of obesity is crucial to reduce weight-related #stigma and improve access to much needed medications #endthestigma #obesitymedicine #healthcare #education #endweightstigma #obesitytreatment #health #healthawareness

New medication for weight loss… better than ozempic? Maybe… Not only seems to be great for reducing weight but also for controlling diabetes and reducing cardiovascular risk! But let's remember: 1) all medications have risks, side effects and in this case a very high cost. 2) The medication is not magical and does not replace a healthy lifestyle and appropriate nutrition. Tell me what you think…. Would you use it? If you are interested in achieving a healthy weight and well-being, DM or visit my website to schedule a courtesy call! Let's start 2024 with better health, more energy, and a positive attitude!
