Supporting aging parents isn't just about reacting to crises; it's about proactive partnership. Start by sharing health information openly and regularly. This collaborative approach can prevent emergencies down the road. How you have this conversation is important. Remember when you were a child and your parents would "tell" you what to do? You didn't like it, right? Well, don't tell them what to do either. Avoid the "shoulds ", like "You should tell me what medications you are taking." Start by asking questions without prying. Examples would be: "I just had my annual physical and found out I have high cholesterol. I remember you telling me you had trouble with statins. What happened?" Then you can move into asking if they are still taking a medication and ask about other meds. Relate this to your own health because so many of the chronic conditions your parents have may also be yours. Learn more about the four key areas that will get you ready or if you are already caring then make sure these are covered. Here is a link to 4 four mini lessons from my membership. https://buff.ly/3Y2ktY1 #AgingParents #HealthPartner"

Feeling dismissed by the healthcare system? Told it's 'all in your head' or 'just stress'? You're not alone. Your experiences of fatigue, joint pain, or other symptoms are valid. Nearly 80% of autoimmune disease sufferers are women, often facing misdiagnosis or dismissal. Let’s advocate for comprehensive care and understanding. Demand better screening, acknowledge the hormone-health connection, and consider the impact of everyday toxins. Together, we can push for a system that listens, diagnoses accurately, and treats women's health issues with the seriousness they deserve. Your journey matters. Let's unite for the healthcare every woman deserves. #HealthAdvocacy #WomensHealth #AutoimmuneAwareness

Our current model of "a pill for the ill" is simply not working. Our aging population is getting larger and becoming more vocal about the quality of life they wish to have. So gone are the days when we give patients prescriptions and expect them to 'take as prescribed'. Our patients are seeking a chance to be a part of the decision-making process surrounding their health. And we owe it to them to listen and provide all possible options for their care. This is where value-based care deprescribing comes in. Deprescribing clinicians can benefit from a fee-for-service model where they can cater to the persons seeking their expertise.
