Trauma Informed Care Training
November 1, 2018
6 – 8:30 p.m.
Trauma Informed Care training can have significant positive impact on congregations and church leaders throughout our region. It offers insight and communication tools to parents, teachers of children and youth, and anyone interacting with someone experiencing times of personal or family stress and trauma. That would be all of us at one time or another!
Valuable insights to be learned from Trauma Informed Care training:
How to better empathize with others in the midst or aftermath of a traumatic situation, including addictions.
What to say and what not to say to foster a safe and non-judgmental environment for relationships to form and flourish.
All healing happens in relationship. What better group than the church to offer God’s love and healing to all in need of care? Being “trauma informed” makes this more successful.
All of us are a composite of our life experiences. Our reactions to traumatic events are a result of the lens of our past experiences. “We don’t see things as they are. We see things as WE are.”
Individual trauma results from an event, a series of events, or set of circumstances experienced by an individual that are physically or emotionally harmful or life threatening and that have lasting adverse effects on the individual’s functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well being. These events may include abuse such as emotional and/or physical, sexual, and/or domestic abuse. Other events that lead to trauma include loss of loved one of friend, neglect, natural disaster, while chronic stressors also lead to trauma; stressors such as poverty, racism, family issues, etc.
This Trauma Informed Care Training Event is available and designed for all who work with and care for children and families who experience episodes of trauma and periods of stress in their lives. It is a wonderful opportunity for schoolteachers, church staff and/or pastors, community leaders, and even parents with children and family struggling with the negative effects of stress and trauma.
This event is free of charge and open to the public. For more information or to register, please call 423-224-1531. | health |
https://jessedeane-freeman.com/offering-workplace-catering-can-increase-staff-member-productivity/ | 2019-08-22T21:54:10 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027317516.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190822215308-20190823001308-00343.warc.gz | 0.964629 | 675 | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-35__0__100073574 | en | There countless methods to increase worker morale and efficiency; however an inexpensive choice is to supply your personnel with workplace catering for functions or to stock the kitchen with treats. A current research study by Peapod of 1,000 full-time office employees discovered that while 55% of respondents were “extremely” or “really delighted” with their tasks, the stats considerably increased to 66% when free food was provided by their company.
Supplying food for the office can go a long way in improving and increasing worker spirits, which in turn can have some terrific results that will benefit your bottom line and increase worker productivity.
Below are some reasons that supplying food or snacks for your staff members can benefit your service and make you one of the most magnificent business leaders.
Increases cooperation and constructs connections
Providing workplace catering enables staff members to get together and start to form more powerful and more positive connections with each other. They’ll start to interact, interact and develop relationships with people from other departments. Conversations in between individuals who wouldn’t generally connect might brighten locations in your organisation you didn’t understand were there to begin with, or produce new ideas.
It’s an excellent method for staff to charge
All of us need breaks at work, but not everybody takes one. It’s estimated that more than 50% of workers consume lunch at their desk every day, with the excuse that they’re “too hectic” or it’s just “simpler”. It is essential to performance (and their peace of mind), that staff members take a break and providing free lunch, whether it’s as soon as a week or as soon as a month, provides your personnel that much required time to re-energize, recharge and refocus for the remainder of the day.
It can boost morale
Offering workers with complimentary food can boost morale, more than motivational speaking from a professional, according to a Glass door survey, and a pleased worker is an hard worker. A current study found that better workers are 12% more efficient. Now that’s a win for everyone!
A healthier workforce
A healthy worker is more efficient and is sick less typically. Through your choice of food and workplace snacks, you can also produce and promote a healthy food environment in the office by choosing fresh and real food. It’s typically too easy to get a quick lunch that’s unhealthy and carb-heavy, however with the best lunch ingredients that are well balanced and healthy, you can improve brain power by as much as 20% and achieve more at work!
Having a healthy and balanced diet plan during the work day can assist:
– Increase concentration
– Raises mood
– Combat fatigue and helps you remain alert
– Improve memory
– Boost staff member engagement and morale
Besides office catering, why rule out purchasing a coffee maker for your staff so they don’t need to waste time leaving the office and waiting in line? Providing breakfast is also a fantastic way to increase productivity. It’s the most important meal of the day and many studies have actually revealed that concentration, focus and memory are higher if you eat in the morning, and are sometimes more beneficial than a business coaching program. | health |

By analyzing this data, users can set and achieve their fitness goals more effectively. Additionally, some devices provide personalized workout recommendations and tips, making it easier for individuals to optimize their exercise routines for better results.
Data Analysis and Insights
The data collected by wearable devices play a crucial role in providing valuable insights into an individual’s health and fitness trends over time. This data can be analyzed using sophisticated algorithms to identify patterns and correlations, helping users and healthcare professionals make informed decisions about lifestyle changes, exercise routines, and overall well-being. Moreover, researchers can utilize this aggregated data to conduct large-scale studies, leading to advancements in the understanding and treatment of various health conditions.
Challenges and Future Prospects
While wearable technology has made significant strides in health monitoring and fitness tracking, challenges remain, including data security and privacy concerns, accuracy of measurements, and the need for seamless integration with existing healthcare systems. However, ongoing research and development in the field aim to address these challenges and further enhance the capabilities of wearable devices.
Looking ahead, the future of wearable technology in health monitoring and fitness tracking appears promising, with the potential for even more advanced features and integration with other healthcare services. As technology continues to evolve, these devices are expected to play an increasingly vital role in empowering individuals to proactively manage their health and well-being, leading to a healthier and more active global population.
Wearable technology has revolutionized the way we approach health monitoring and fitness tracking, offering a convenient and proactive approach to managing our well-being. With its ability to provide continuous data insights, personalized recommendations, and valuable health metrics, wearable devices have become indispensable tools for individuals striving to lead healthier and more active lifestyles. As the technology continues to advance, the role of wearable devices in promoting wellness and facilitating healthcare is expected to grow, making a significant impact on the future of digital health and well-being. | health |

Dr. Chakravarty’s abstract entitled "Sirolimus Delivery from an Electrospun Vascular Access Graft Material" focused on assessing the effects of various levels of Sirolimus loading into the electrospun material that comprises the graft and to evaluate release and subsequent biologic activity on human vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro. This study serves as a precursor to developing a novel synthetic electrospun vascular access graft (NuSpun™) that can address the potential for outflow stenosis by delivering the anti-proliferative agent Sirolimus into the electrospun fibers at the distal/outflow end of the graft. This research was conducted in conjunction with investigators at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA) and was supported, in part, from a Phase 1 grant from KidneyX.

North-West University (Potchefstroom, South Africa)
Prof. Stephen Harrison (Corpus Christi College, Oxford)
Dr. Alessia Guardasole (Université Paris IV-Sorbonne)
We welcome proposals for 20 minute papers on technical medical terminology from the Greco-Roman World, with the ultimate intention of participation in a peer-reviewed edition of the proceedings.
The goal of the conference is to improve our understanding of the Greco-Roman medicine and its technical vocabulary through the comparative analysis of its textual and material aspects – its verba and realia. The conference hopes to involve a wide range of specialist fields, including classics and history of textual transmission, papyrology, archaeology and material culture, epigraphy, history of science and of medical practices, and submissions from scholars in any of these fields of expertise are warmly encouraged.
Possible areas of interest would involve, but are not restricted to
- the examination of technical terms in all the sources related to them, e.g., literary passages, papyri, inscriptions and tituli picti, available archaeological discoveries attesting to medical practice;
- the connection word(s)-object(s), with particular attention to the realia hidden under the verba, aiming at a likely reconstruction of the concrete reality of ancient medicine;
- the identification of the several degrees of technicality when dealing with medical issues (e.g. communication among specialists, between doctors and patients, among non-specialists in everyday situations);
- the socio-linguistics of medical vocabulary; the focus on the persons behind and through their “words of medicine” in order to analyze the medical knowledge of both laymen interested in medicine and actual practitioners to reach a better acquaintance of their socio-cultural context;
- the (re)use of medical terms, as well as medical metaphors and images by Greek and Latin poets and authors up to Late Antiquity.
Titles with short abstracts (500 words), accompanied by brief academic biographical details of each author (max. 150 words), may be submitted to Isabella Bonati at: [email protected].
The abstract proposal should state the focus of the paper and the way(s) in which it contributes to the knowledge on the topic.
Abstract submission deadline: 28 February 2018
Notification of acceptance/feedback: 30 March 2018
Participation confirmation deadline for all presenters: 1 May 2018 | health |

Kirsten has special interests in normal and high risk obstetrics, pelvic pain, endometriosis, complex laparoscopic surgery and specialist ultrasound.
pregnancy & Obstetrics
Dr Connan offers experienced and personalised pre-pregnancy checks and pregnancy care, with interests in both general obstetrics and expertise in safely managing high-risk pregnancies.
Offering consultation and surgical services for managing pelvic pain, endometriosis, infertility, heavy bleeding, contraceptive advice, ovarian cysts, menopause and adolescent gynaecology.
Dr Connan has a special interest and expertise in advanced laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, including for treatment of endometriosis and performing total laparoscopic hysterectomies.
Kirsten loves women's health
Kirsten believes that women's healthcare is best delivered in partnership with women themselves.
The woman-doctor partnership begins first with respect. Respecting that each woman has her own story, her own aspirations and her own needs. Dr Connan aims to empower women so that they can better understand their own bodies and so improve and maintain their health in partnership with her care.
Patient-centered care best describes Kirsten's approach to her patients. She believes passionately in the importance of inclusiveness and transparency in healthcare, ensuring women and their families completely understand their options and the reasons for her medical recommendations, so that each can make informed decisions.
She advocates for individualised care. Every woman and her circumstances are unique – and so should be their obstetric and gynaecological care. By respecting the uniqueness of each woman and empowering through education, Kirsten seeks to provide the highest quality obstetric & gynaecology care that every woman deserves.
Dr Connan's clinical experience spans capital cities, regional centres, developing countries and both public and private medicine in Australia.
The most influential years of her training and specialist practice were proudly undertaken at Australia's largest maternity hospital, Melbourne's Royal Women's Hospital, with specialist training in high-risk obstetrics, advanced laparoscopic surgery and obstetric ultrasound.
In addition to important foundations of study, training and surgical experience, Kirsten strongly believes in the importance of obstetricians and gynaecological surgeons maintaining and growing their knowledge and skills through continual professional development.
Kirsten's disciplined focus on very specific and complementary areas – obstetrics, including high-risk obstetrics, pelvic pain & endometriosis, advanced laparoscopic surgery and obstetric ultrasound – allows her to maintain a high level of expertise in all her areas of clinical practice.
Dr Connan completed her specialist OBGYN training in 2010, becoming a proud Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG).
Kirsten has more recently furthered her passion for education and teaching, completing a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma, and finally a Master of Clinical Education in 2017 through the University of Melbourne.
Dr Connan's educational interest is both for the training of junior doctors, and importantly also for the patients she cares for – so that all women may better understand their bodies and so improve their health and well-being.
In 2011, Kirsten was awarded a Diploma of Diagnostic Ultrasound (Obstetrics & Gynaecology) from the Australian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (ASUM), following training and work at East Melbourne Ultrasound under the guidance of internationally renowned specialist obstetric sonologist Dr Andrew Ngu.
Kirsten's additional ultrasound skills and qualifications beyond those of a general ObGyn help guide both her complex-pregnancy care and her management of women with endometriosis and pelvic pain.
Before commencing specialist O&G training in 2004, Dr Connan completed her Diploma of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists as a junior doctor. This provided an invaluable foundation for her later specialist training.
In 2012 and 2013 Kirsten was a DRANZCOG examiner for the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, before becoming an examiner of specialist FRANZCOG candidates in 2014 .
Dr Connan began her life-long dream to study medicine and train as a doctor when she commenced her medical degree as part of Sydney University's first Graduate Medical Program cohort in 1997. Four years later she proudly graduated with her Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, with Honours.
Kirsten began her tertiary education at the University of Melbourne, completing a Bachelor of Science in 1996 with majors in Anatomy and Physiology. Her later calling to specialise in Obstetrics and Gynaecology was hinted at by her early passion for Embryology during her Bachelor of Science years.
In 2016 Kirsten was honoured to win the Telstra Tasmanian Business Women's Entrepreneur Award for her business leadership at TasOGS.
The values and priorities that Dr Connan expresses in both her clinical and business domains were instrumental in her selection and recognition for this Business Women's Award. Kirsten strongly believes that running an effective and efficient healthcare business with integrity is not just a nice-to-have, but is essential to delivering high-quality healthcare and meeting the health needs of Tasmania's women.
Clinical excellence cannot exist without business excellence. Whether it is the too-often neglected issue of patients waiting excessively to be seen, or the lack of transparency in medical and surgical fees, the quality and business competency of medical practices has a very real impact on clinical care.
Dr Connan strives to keep the reliability and efficiency of TasOGS as a practice and business, closely aligned with the high quality healthcare that she passionately believes women of Tasmania deserve.
Women deserve to be cared for by doctors who are themselves at their best. Well rested, focused and balanced – doctors able to give their full attention to the physical and mental health of their patients.
Kirsten recognises the challenges of modern life – balancing the competing priorities of health, family, work and holistic wellbeing. It is not uncommon for doctors to struggle to find a harmony between work and greater life, with the physical and mental health of many suffering as a consequence. This is not ideal for patient care.
Kirsten is an avid runner. Whether running the trails of Freycinet, Tough Mudder adventure races, half marathons, or the footpaths of Hobart, she knows the importance of maintaining both her mind and health. She enjoys expressing her competitive streak, playing hockey for Hobart's Diamond Backs, and chasing her family on mountain bike through Tassie's mountain trails.
Most importantly, Kirsten knows her limits. She actively manages her work intensity to ensure patients have a well-rested obstetrician delivering their precious baby, and a calm, focused surgeon performing their operation. Too often Kirsten sees healthcare providers neglecting self-care. Acknowledging that this is not always easy, especially for those of us that work on-call, this should nonetheless be a priority for all doctors. Dr Connan's transparent covering arrangement is vital to achieving this.
Kirsten was born in Tonga in the South Pacific, to missionary parents, giving her a diverse cultural exposure at an early age.
After primary schooling in Pasadena, California, her family returned to Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, where she continued her schooling. Following graduation from Frankston High School, Kirsten completed a Bachelor of Science with Honours at the University Melbourne. Majors in Anatomy and Physiology, and a love of Embryology, then lead her to Sydney University, where she completed her medical degree with honours.
Kirsten has long explored her interest in different cultures through work, study and travel. As a medical student she enjoyed the opportunity to live and work in remote South Australian Indigenous communities through a John Flynn scholarship. Later as a senior medical student she worked and studied both back in her birth country, Tonga, and also in Andhra Pradesh, India, exploring the diversity of the world's second most populous country.
Kirsten's childhood years growing up in Tonga have given her a rich appreciation of the importance of diversity, not just culturally but across many facets of the human condition. As a specialist obstetrician & gynaecologist she has continued to practice across a wide range of cultural settings, whether with indigenous communities in Australia's Northern Territory, teaching midwives in Tonga or gynaecologists in Mongolia.
Dr Connan brings this same cultural sensitivity and respect for diversity to her practice in Hobart. | health |

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into everything you need to know about choosing the best arch support for men. From understanding the importance of arch support to providing recommendations, we’ve got you covered.
The Importance of Arch Support
Arch support in footwear and orthotic devices is crucial for maintaining good foot health and overall body alignment. Here are the key reasons why proper arch support is important:
- Prevents Foot Pain and Discomfort: Proper arch support can significantly reduce the risk of foot pain and discomfort. Conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and high arches can lead to chronic pain, which can be alleviated with appropriate arch support.
- Enhances Foot Function: The arch of the foot plays a key role in how you walk and stand. Adequate support helps in maintaining the natural structure and function of the foot, ensuring efficient movement and reducing strain on the foot muscles and ligaments.
- Improves Posture and Alignment: Proper arch support contributes to better posture and alignment of the entire body. It helps in distributing weight evenly across the feet, which can prevent or alleviate pain in the knees, hips, and lower back.
- Reduces Risk of Injuries: Good arch support can decrease the risk of foot and ankle injuries, particularly during physical activities or sports. It provides stability and helps in preventing overpronation (excessive inward rolling of the foot) and supination (outward rolling).
- Enhances Athletic Performance: For athletes,proper arch support is essential for optimal performance. It improves foot mechanics, which can enhance agility, balance, and overall athletic ability.
- Increases Comfort During Prolonged Standing or Walking: Individuals who spend long hours on their feet can benefit greatly from arch support. It reduces foot fatigue and discomfort, making prolonged standing or walking more manageable.
- Facilitates Weight Distribution: Arch support aids in evenly distributing body weight across the feet, which is important for maintaining balance and preventing pressure points and overloading of certain foot areas.
- Helps in Managing Certain Health Conditions: For those with diabetes, arthritis, or obesity, proper arch support can be crucial in managing foot-related complications associated with these conditions.
- Improves Overall Foot Health: Regular use of well-supported footwear can contribute to long-term foot health, preventing the development of more serious foot problems over time.
Benefits of Using Arch Support
Incorporating arch support into your footwear can have a significant impact on your overall foot health and comfort. Here are the key benefits of using arch support:
- Alleviates Foot Pain: Arch supports can help alleviate pain associated with various foot conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and high arches. They provide the necessary support to the arch, reducing strain on the foot muscles and ligaments.
- Improves Foot and Ankle Stability: By supporting the arch, these devices help stabilize the foot and ankle, reducing the risk of injuries, especially during physical activities.
- Enhances Walking and Running Mechanics: Proper arch support improves the mechanics of walking and running. It facilitates a more natural foot movement, which can enhance efficiency and reduce fatigue.
- Prevents Overpronation and Supination: Arch supports can help correct overpronation (excessive inward rolling of the foot) and supination (outward rolling), common issues that can lead to foot and ankle problems.
- Reduces Stress on Joints: By aligning the feet properly, arch supports can also reduce the stress and strain on the knees, hips, and lower back, potentially alleviating pain in these areas.
- Increases Comfort for Prolonged Standing: For individuals who spend long hours standing, arch supports can make a significant difference in comfort, reducing foot fatigue and discomfort.

How to Choose the Right Arch Support
How to Choose the Right Arch Support
Selecting the right arch support is crucial for comfort and effectiveness. Here are some guidelines to help you make the best choice:
- Know Your Foot Type: Understand your arch type – low, medium, or high. This can be determined through a wet test at home or by a professional foot assessment. Each arch type has different support needs.
- Consider Your Foot Condition: If you have specific foot conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or high arches, look for arch supports designed to address these issues.
- Check the Material: Arch supports come in various materials like foam, gel, plastic, or a combination. Foam offers cushioning, gel provides shock absorption, and plastic gives firm support. Choose based on your comfort preference and the level of support you need.
- Fit with Your Footwear: Ensure that the arch support fits well in your regular footwear. It should not make your shoes too tight or alter your foot position within the shoe.
- Activity Level Consideration: If you are an athlete or engage in regular physical activities, look for arch supports that provide both support and flexibility. For daily use, comfort and cushioning might be more important.
- Seek Professional Advice: If possible, consult a podiatrist or a foot care specialist, especially if you have chronic foot problems. They can provide recommendations based on a detailed analysis of your feet.
- Comfort is Key: When trying out arch supports, walk around with them
to ensure they feel comfortable. They should support the arch without causing pressure or discomfort.
- Adjustment Period: Be aware that there might be an adjustment period. Good arch support may feel odd or uncomfortable at first, especially if you’re not used to it. Give it some time to adapt to your feet.
- Read Reviews and Testimonials: Look for user reviews and testimonials, especially from people with similar foot types or conditions. This can provide insight into the effectiveness and comfort of the arch support.
- Consider Durability and Maintenance: Check the durability and how easy it is to clean and maintain the arch supports. Some may require more frequent replacement or special care.
- Budget: While it’s important to invest in good-quality arch supports, they should also fit within your budget. More expensive doesn’t always mean better, so consider cost-effectiveness.

What do all those numbers mean? Hopefully this will help!
Dry Matter (DM) is the amount of dry matter in the forage. It should be at least 80% but 85% and above is preferable to prevent heating during storage, forage deterioration and combustion.
Crude Protein (CP) is the amount of Nitrogen. It varies depending on species, stage of maturity and fertilization but is generally between 15-23% for legumes and 8-18% for grasses.
Unavailable Protein is the portion of protein that is bound and therefore un-useable by the animal. Small percentages of unavailable protein are normal.
Adjusted Crude Protein is the value used to evaluate the forage and balance rations. It will usually be the same as the Crude Protein value, unless significant heat damage has occurred.
Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) uses 2 of the fiber components of the cell wall - lignin and cellulose, to determine how well the animal will be able to digest the forage. The higher the ADF, the lower the digestibility will be.
Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) is the total cell wall – lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose and is used to determine how much dry matter the animal can eat. As NDF increases, the dry matter intake usually decreases. This could affect the ability of the equine to eat enough feed to meet the daily nutritional requirements.
Digestive Energy (DE) is just a hint of what the actual amount of energy the animal has available for use might be. It is the gross energy in the forage minus the energy that is lost in feces.
Total Digestive Nutrients (TDN) is the sum of the digestible portions of protein, fat, fiber and other nutrients and gives us an approximate energy value of a forage. The higher the TDN, the better quality forage.
Non Fiber Carbohydrates (NFC) is the measure of the starch and simple sugars in a forage. These are particularly important for horses that are prone to laminitis and those that are insulin resistant.
Ash is the total mineral content of the forage. This includes the minerals inside the plant (internal) and those that are in the dirt picked up during the harvesting process (external). The average internal ash for legumes is around 8% and 6% for grasses, anything more would be from the external sources (dirt/soil accumulated during harvesting, raking and baling). The average ash content for all types of hay is between 9-10%.
Minerals are essential to the health and wellbeing of all animals. Most feed reports analyze forages for Calcium, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Copper, Iron, Manganese and Zinc. The daily recommended values of these minerals will change depending on age, weight and activity level so you should check with your veterinarian or local extension agent after receiving your results to see if your forage will meet these needs.
For more information about how to test your hay and interpret the report, contact your local livestock agent. | health |

A Therapist Who Cares
My treatments are centered around inflammation and pain that exists throughout the body, whether chronic or acute. I focus on the fascia, the connective tissue throughout the body and work on restoring it to a healthy state, therefore, decreasing pain and inflammation. My sessions focus on the mind, body, and spirit which need to coexist in harmony for proper healing to occur.
A firm believer that unhealthy fascia is the root cause to most of the body’s inflammation and pain, and by treatment, many ailments can be alleviated. Treating my own fascial issues since 2018, has helped me discover the therapeutic benefits that I can offer to clients.

Planning ahead when it comes to feeding your family can make for a much more enjoyable traveling experience. Whether you are traveling by car, airplane, bus, train, etc. preparing and packing snacks ahead of time to feed the kids (and adults) will help to avoid choosing unhealthy, pricey last minute snacks throughout travel. Read below for travel friendly snacking ideas and be adventurous in choosing and creating your own snack ideas. Try for snacks that are #1: healthy, #2: not too messy, and #3: do not require refrigeration.
Fresh Fruit– bring fresh fruit that won’t bruise easily and has a longer shelf life such as apples, orange, clementines, blueberries, and grapes. Fruit and vegetable squeeze pouches are also a good option but can get messy with younger kids.
Dried Fruit– these have potential to contain lots of extra sugar so be sure to read nutrition labels and choose those with less sugar.
Veggies– Prepare veggies such as carrot and celery sticks and sliced peppers cucumbers.
Granola bars– choose healthy bars such as Kind bars, Cliff bars, or other organic granola bar versions. Read labels and choose those with few ingredients that you are able to pronounce. Also try making your own granola bars, although these tend to be soft and may be messier than store bought bars.
Nuts and trail mixes– almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews and other mix nut blends are very travel friendly. Be sure to check labels for sodium content of nut mixes and review ingredients labels.
Crackers & Chips– choose ones made without hydrogenated oils and minimal ingredients. Pretzels, veggie straws, baked chips, popcorn, and puffs are also good options.
Drinks– Pack a water bottle or sippy cup that can be refilled easy. If traveling by car, pack a case of bottled water so you always have fresh water on hand. As always, limit juice or choose juice boxes with no added sugar made from 100% fruit juice. | health |

In a $270 million boost to the health system, more than 17,000 nurses and midwives will be recruited and trained as part of a massive hiring and upskilling initiative – building an army of home-grown health workers to care for Victorians.
More than 10,000 students will have the cost of their nursing or midwifery undergraduate studies paid for, while scholarships will be available for thousands more who complete postgraduate studies in areas of need including intensive care, cancer care, paediatrics and nurse practitioner specialities.
All new domestic students enrolling in a professional-entry nursing or midwifery course in 2023 and 2024 will receive a scholarship of up to $16,500 to cover course costs.
Students will receive $9,000 while they study and the remaining $7,500 if they work in Victorian public health services for two years.
More midwives will join the workforce through an expanded postgraduate midwifery incentive program, which will provide scholarships to cover course costs and salary support for 150 existing nurses to continue working while they complete their specialist studies in midwifery.
The initiative, together with the $12 billion Pandemic Repair Plan brings the number of nurses and midwives being supported to more than 20,000, including funding 13,000 nursing and midwifery positions and scholarships, and funding the upskilling of 8,500 nurses.
The package also includes:
- Scholarships for postgraduate nurses to complete studies in specialty areas such as intensive care, emergency, paediatrics and cancer care – worth an average of $10,000
- $11,000 scholarships for enrolled nurses to become registered nurses, covering course costs and boosting the number of registered nurses
- $12,000 scholarships to support training and employment of 100 new Nurse Practitioners in both acute and community settings
- More than $20 million to provide more support to the growing numbers of graduates and postgraduates as they transition to working in our hospitals – ensuring they have access to the clincial educators, preceptors and study time they need.
The package recognises that the cost of study is a financial burden for prospective and existing nurses and helps our health services maximise the recruitment of new nurses and midwives in key areas of need.
In the past eight years, the number of nurses in the public system has risen by more than 26 per cent – increasing by 9,400 to more than 45,000 nurses. The Labor Government has overseen a net increase of more than 22,000 healthcare workers in the system since 2014 – up by 27.6 per cent.
Quotes attributable to Premier Daniel Andrews
“If you’re in Year 12 and you’ve been thinking about studying nursing or midwifery – go for it. We’ve got your HECS fees covered.”
“Every health system in the country is under enormous pressure due to the pandemic. The best thing we can do to support our hardworking staffis give them more support on the ground – that’s why this package will train and hire more nurses than ever before.”
Quote attributable to Minister for Health Mary-Anne Thomas
“You can’t deliver a health system with empty hospitals, which is why we are investing in hardworking nurses and midwives that are helping Victorian patients every single day.”
Quote attributable to Minister for Training and Skills and Higher Education Gayle Tierney
“By providing more pathways and incentives to education, we’re giving our nurses and midwives the practical support that they need to continue caring for Victorians.” | health |

These growth hormones help you increase the rate at which your body replaces tissue, eventually acting as an anti-aging supplement. Because the body uses human growth hormones to maintain and grow different organs in your body, once you begin to increase the amount of growth hormones in your body, you immediately begin to feel younger and more energetic.
Compared to other types of HGH supplements, sprays tend to be one of the safest and painless options. These hormone sprays are normally sprayed directly into the mouth, whereby the mix of vitamins, minerals and HGH are absorbed through the mouth, and directly administered into the bloodstream. Once circulated throughout the body through the bloodstream, the HGH mix eventually reaches the brain and stimulates the pituitary gland, which results in an increase in growth hormones levels throughout the body.
Because of its method of application, HGH sprays can be beneficial to you in many ways. Apart from having a direct effect on your muscles in helping them achieve grow bigger and stronger, these sprays also stimulate tissue and cell growth, which results in an increased rate of fat being burnt from the body. Another positive outcome of using HGH sprays is that you will immediately experienced higher energy levels, increased stamina and even better sleep. These are all brought about by an increase in growth hormone levels, thereby enabling the body to perform better.
You will be surprised to know that even though there are so many benefits of using HGH sprays, there are no known side effects. Even if the sprays have been accidentally ingested into the stomach, growth hormones are a natural part of the body's system, which is why it is never harmful to the body. However, you should always remember to follow the recommended dosage, which is normally about 3 sprays directly into the mouth, twice a day.
In addition to this, you should also seek advice from a qualified medical practitioner, before embarking on any HGH spray treatment. Another common guideline for HGH products is that it should never be used by anyone under 35 years of age, or women who are pregnant. Also, should you be currently undergoing any form of medical treatment or following a certain course of prescribed medication, it is not normally recommended that you take up any HGH spray treatments. | health |

The frenotomy procedure involves dividing the frenulum tissue and leaving behind an open wound where the tongue meets the floor of the mouth. This wound heals over a 2-3 week period. The wound fills with granulation tissue which is tissue involved in the healing process. This tissue has a yellow/white appearance. The healing process will always result is some amount of re-attachment.
Should one get a repeat division of the re-attached clinically significant tongue tie?
Unfortunately if a tongue tie has re-attached once there is a 50% chance it will re-attach following a repeat procedure. One would also be expected to do deep wound massage during the aftercare to reduce the chance of further re-attachment. This deeper wound massage is very difficult to do and most parents struggle to do it as it causes a lot of distress for babies and parents.
Overall I do not recommend repeat divisions for the above reasons. I am happy to reassess re-attachments and I would consider repeat frenotomy for certain cases.
If you have any further queries regarding re-attachments or you would like a reassessment then I would advise one to book an appointment at the clinic as it is impossible to assess the degree of re-attachment over the phone.
Reducing the risk of re-attachment and improving tongue mobility
In the first 5 days following the procedure it is especially important that the baby is breastfed 2-3 hourly during the course of each 24 hours. This often means waking the baby to ensure that they feed. If they are having supplements by syringe or bottle, it is important to ensure that they are breastfed for at least 15-20 minutes before the supplement is offered. I would also advise avoiding pacifiers/soothers for 5 days following the procedure.
There are also mobility and myofascial exercises which help encourage tongue movement and help to improve the tongue’s range of movement, and help to reduce re-attachment.
These exercises are easy to perform and are not traumatic.
I recommend performing the exercises 4 times daily.
Please click link below to view video to assist you with exercises.
Gentle massage of wound
There is no significant evidence at this time to suggest that wound massage will reduce the risk of re-attachment. I have consulted several experts from around the world who believe they have a 1-2% risk of re-attachment in infants that undergo post frenotomy wound massage. This is a reduction from 4% with no wound massage performed.
Some babies appear to tolerate wound massage while others do not.
I performed a frenotomy on my son who had an anterior tongue tie. He could not tolerate the wound massage. His frenulum re-attached to about 30%. He breastfed without difficulty but he did continue to suffer with reflux. The re-attachment may have contributed to this.
My daughter had a posterior tongue tie which I released. Again I was unable to perform the wound massage. She has perfect post procedure result with only 5% re-attachment and she had no feeding issues.
This is my personal experience that I felt I should share with parents. It not a clinically significant trial!
I advise attempting the wound massage and assessing how your baby responds. A reduction from 2% to 4% is significant but it does not guarantee that there will be no re-attachment.
After the procedure I will instruct you on how to perform a gentle wound massage. I do not advise on deep or aggressive stretching exercises which involve re-opening the wound.
If your baby tolerates the massage then I would advise performing the massage for 4 seconds, 4 times per day for 4 weeks.
There have been reported cases of bleeding which has occurred some time after tongue-tie division, usually on the same day, when the babies have returned home. If this occurs the bleeding is usually very light and is triggered by strenuous crying ( resulting in the tongue lifting and disturbing the wound) or when the wound is disturbed during feeding, particularly if the wound is caught by a bottle teat or tip of a nipple shield.
- If you notice any blood in your baby’s mouth then offer the baby the breast or bottle and feed them. This will usually stop the bleeding within a few minutes just as it did immediately after the procedure. If the baby refuses to feed then sucking on a dummy/pacifier or your clean finger will have a similar effect.
- If the bleeding is very heavy or does not reduce with feeding and stop within 15 minutes then apply pressure to the wound under the tongue with one finger using a clean piece of gauze or muslin for 5 minutes. Do not apply pressure under the baby’s chin as this can affect breathing.
- If bleeding continues after this time continue to apply pressure to the wound and take your baby to hospital (call an ambulance if you live more than a very short distance from the Accident and Emergency Department). | health |

I’m required to do 50 hours of Continuing Medical Education every year, and a conference is a good way to get through a good bit of it in one sitting (or five, as the case may be).
My favorite lecture by far was the Wilderness Medicine lecture. At first glance, the topic didn’t seem all that applicable to me, but I am definitely glad I stayed, and took notes. Plus, the lecturer’s name was Dr. Donner, and who wouldn’t want to learn about wilderness survival from someone with that name?
The physician had led trips down the Grand Canyon, through wilderness in Africa, and even to the Himalayas. He served on the NASA advisory panel to determine medical supplies needed on the Space Station. His stories were fascinating. His advice was even better.
As I sat there listening, I realized that I was getting a great list of medical supplies to take with us when we go to Africa ourselves. Sure, we won’t be climbing a mountain, or white water rafting down a gorge, but we will be exposed to unfamiliar elements without access to Western medicine . . . unless we bring it ourselves.
Of course, much of what he talked about was prescription medications, but I thought some of his recommendations for over-the-counter products were pretty ingenious.
So here’s a list of over-the-counter medical supplies you might consider taking in a medical kit if you’re traveling to a place where medical care isn’t readily accessible, and space is an issue (international travel, hiking, camping, etc.) in addition to a regular first-aid kit.
- Aleve. Pain reliever is important, but to reduce the number of pills you have to pack, take this 12-hour pain reliever instead of Tylenol or Advil, which is dosed more frequently.
- DON’T take capsules of any kind. Just a touch of moisture and you’ve got a druggy icky mess.
- Afrin. Nosebleeds are common when traveling. If it’s a minor nosebleed, sit down, gently blow your nose to clear clots, and then sniff some Afrin nasal spray. It reduces blood supply, and stops the bleeding. If it doesn’t work, hold pressure for 20 minutes without peeking.
- Cough drops. And albuterol. Okay, so albuterol is a prescription, but if anyone has EVER used albuterol, it’s good for them to bring along. One or two puffs are great for coughs induced by exercise or infection.
- No-Doz. If it’s not you, it’s going to be someone else on your trip. Someone will be a caffeine addict and get a raging headache on morning #2. You will be their best friend if you can give them one of these with a couple of Aleve. They may even need to carry your pack for a while in exchange.
- Heartburn medication. My personal preference is a PPI like omeprazole, and some Tums. One works slow and long, the other fast and short.
- Miralax packets. Many people develop “shy toilet syndrome” and can’t have a bowel movement in unfamiliar places. While this may not be a problem if you’re travelling for 2 days, if you’re travelling for 2 weeks, it’s an enormous problem.
- Oral rehydration salt packets. These basically make a Gatorade-like solution if water is added. Very important for someone who is vomiting or has the opposite problem than the last point.
- Duct tape. Aside from its utilitarian functions on the campsite, it’s great at reducing friction for known hot spots on heels and toes, in order to prevent blisters.
- An emergency blanket. This can double as sunglasses in case of eye irritation.
- Baby wipes. You can probably use your imagination.
The rest of the items covered were prescriptions, which was very helpful, or were items that everyone should bring (like sunscreen). It’s a great list for lots of different but common travel health problems.

Working with the subconscious mind directly is achieved in states of trance – the alpha and theta states mainly, in which your brainwaves slow down and the conscious critical mind steps aside. This is the state of hypnosis, or a meditative state of being.
Many of us use this state for deep relaxation or quieting the mind in meditation. Once we have achieved this deep hypnotic state, we can do so many different kinds of therapy, healing work and journeying. It is a very rapid and effective way to do deep change work, not only mentally and spiritually, but also physically.
The subconscious mind is a bridge to your deep wisdom, and to your soul consciousness. With specific hypnotic techniques, you can access your soul or higher self consciousness, and journey beyond the confines of this present time and space. You can find out more about this here.
In clinical hypnotherapy, we use hypnosis as a tool to improve physical, mental or emotional conditions. It’s so important to have the right mind-set to get the results that you want.
Detrimental habits, negative self-talk, ingrained beliefs that you can’t or don’t deserve to get well are some examples of negative programming in your subconscious mind that STOP you from making progress.
Be gentle with yourself
We often give ourselves such a hard time! IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT, so stop beating yourself up for having blocks or not being able to make a change.
Negative messages get hammered into your brain…ugh!
All of us have been bombarded with questionable, detrimental and downright devastating messages throughout our whole life. How many times have parents, relatives, teachers, bullies, bosses, doctors, and the media conveyed to you that you’re not enough?
Directly or indirectly, they’ve hammered into your brain that, “You’re not good enough, not smart enough, not wanted enough, not tough enough, not successful enough, not slim enough, not beautiful enough, not main-stream enough, not being like I WANT YOU to be right now, and not behaving like I WANT YOU to behave right now enough…”
Over time, these messages get anchored into your brain and you start to believe it too, whether you want to or not. You start to act as if this were true. This causes the blocks that stop you from moving forward.
What about negative imprints from Past Lives?
If you have fears, phobias, ailments or negative cycles of behaviour that don’t seem to have an origin, you may have an imprint from a past life. This can be searched out and eliminated in a past life regression session.
Re-program your mind
In deep hypnotic states – the alpha and theta states – we can take a deeper look and find all that negative programming. Then we change it to positive programs – we actually re-program your brain for success! The subconscious mind doesn’t know what’s real and what is imagined… so it takes the new, positive messages as reality and acts upon them.
This works not only for mental and emotional themes like fears, phobias, insomnia, confidence or goal-setting – to give a few examples – but also for invoking actual physical changes in your body. We use time-line regression therapy for problems stemming from this lifetime and past-life regression therapy for problems stemming from past lives.
Activate your cell memory of perfect health
You can teach your body to remember its state of perfect health and come back to that state. Vibrant health and balance is programmed into your cell memory, and we can activate this knowledge through hypnosis. Through specific imagery techniques, we are able to control pain and accelerate the healing process in health conditions like bone breakage, heart disease or cancer, to name a few. Hypnotherapy works hand-in-hand very well with any treatment, therapy or medication that you are undertaking and enhances their effectiveness.
Lately a lot of attention has been given to new scientific studies that meditation (self-hypnosis) measurably increases physical gray matter in your brain. Read more about this here.
How to Prepare for a session and What to Expect:
Please come to your session rested, sober and free of any stimulating substances such as excessive amounts of coffee, tea or energy drinks, as this could affect your ability to go to the required depth of hypnosis to do the necessary work. An accelerated heart rate due to stimulating substances can hinder your relaxation capacity and make the session ineffective.
Hypnotherapy sessions are very safe, gentle and relaxing. You will be able to relax in a reclining chair or on a massage table while I guide you into the hypnotic state. You are always in control. My therapy is client-oriented, so we proceed according to your goals, your preferences and your comfort zone. We maintain a two-way dialogue during hypnosis, so you can always decide what you want to do or step back from. You can expect emotional release and transformation, so it is advised to take some time after each session to relax and digest and let the information settle in.

2 or 3 ante-natal sessions, lasting approximately 1.5 - 2 hours each. We will use this time to get know each other, to discuss how we would work best together as a team, to talk about how you would like your birth to be and how you can best achieve it, this is also a good oppurtunity to debrief any previous births, and any fears you may have about the upcoming birth. I am happy to offer books, relevant evidence-based articles and DVD's.
24 hour on-call period from weeks 38-42 of your pregnancy (if you have a history of premature birth this can be adjusted to suit you, equally if you do go into labour before my official on-call period starts, or after it ends, I will do my very best to be with you).
Continuous support from when you feel you need me in labour, through birth and until you feel comfortable with your new baby (usually between 2 - 4 hours after the birth).
2 post-natal visits, lasting approximately 1.5 hours each. We can use this time to discuss the birth, your feelings on becoming a mother, any worries or questions you may have regarding feeding or babycare. Please note that I do not offer baby weight checks.
Post-Natal Doula Role
I am available to work between 9am and 6pm (minimum 3 hour session per day, maximum 6 hour session per day). Please ask if you would like me outside of those hours, as it may sometimes be possible .
My role will be to look after you, so you can look after your baby. I will provide practical and emotional support, help you to establish confidence with breastfeeding or bottle feeding, assist with anything that needs to be done e.g looking after your other children, doing the laundry, preparing meals for you and your family, running errands, shopping , looking after baby while you catch up on sleep etc.
I will do my very best to ensure that you feel confident and supported to care for your newborn baby.
Closing The Bones Massage
I offer this traditional Ecuadorian ceremony to any mother, regardless of when you gave birth.
It consists of debriefing your birth, a lower abdominal, hip and pelvic massage, rocking and binding with a rebozo (a long strip of cloth), relaxation, final closing and a cup of tea and chat afterwards. The ceremony takes approximately 2 hours, and is extremely peaceful, comforting and allows you to release any emotions you may need to, in a safe and confidential space. | health |

https://digitalexits.com/employee-wellness-ideas/ | 2020-04-01T11:43:34 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370505730.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20200401100029-20200401130029-00171.warc.gz | 0.947196 | 2,327 | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-16__0__229978094 | en | Employee illness and injury cost employers hundreds of billions of dollars each year, and many businesses just like yours can save money through presentation efforts and health initiatives in the workplace. You will be able to save on insurance costs, costs relating to sick leave, and improve the overall efficiency of your workplace (by reducing the number of disruptions caused by absences)
Not only that, but healthier employees are more motivated, more productive, more likely to work well together, and quicker to get back to work in the event they do get sick. Keep reading below to get some ideas on how to make your workplace a healthier one.
Diet and Dining
1) Bring in Healthy Office Snacks
Nutrition is perhaps the key factor to a healthy life, and while you’re unlikely to completely control someone’s diet, you can control what snacks and treats are available around the office. If you have unhealthy snacks such as chips and candy, we suggest replacing them with much healthier alternatives (we prefer healthy snack bars, small packets of nuts, and veggie chips).
If you think it won’t be a waste and you have a sweet tooth or two among your staff, keep some fresh fruit or dark chocolate around for those seeking a sugary pick-me-up.
A company like Snack Nation is a great delivery service for healthy office snacks.
2) Keep A List of Healthy Restaurants
Regardless of the debate on whether people should go out for lunch or dinner or whether bringing your own meal is the better choice, there are going to be people who order out if at all possible. In this case, try recommending or keeping a list of healthy take-out options in your area. If the area isn’t so friendly to healthy eaters, at least craft a list that mitigates the damage.
3) Keep the Water Cooler Stocked
Lack of proper hydration can cause a great deal of workplace illness, and sometimes it only takes a few glasses of water to take an employee from half-slumber to a clear head. Make sure that your employees don’t have to go to great lengths to get water, and consider removing soda from the workplace as well to encourage better health.
4) Encourage Healthy Recipe-Sharing
Consider creating an online office recipe listing or crafting an employee recipe-book so that employees might try new things. Try to encourage the submission of healthy recipes instead of baked goods and fried foods (delicious as they might be). This will not only keep the workload light on you but create topics of conversation in the office and encourage co-workers to get to know each other just a little better.
5) Host a Healthy Workplace Potluck
On a related note, if your office is expecting a late night or you feel the need to change the routine a little, consider organizing an office potluck so people can share those healthy recipes, except already made! By encouraging people to bring healthy dishes, you’ll hopefully give employees ideas as to healthier dishes they can make at home instead of their usual take-out.
Movement and Exercise
6) Bring in Standing Desks
If you’re in a standard office, chances are employees will be sitting down for hours on end, something that will increase the risk of various heart problems, back problems and other aches, and weight gain. Many employees don’t want this but don’t see any alternatives.
We recommend making standing desks available to employees so that those who choose don’t need to force themselves into so sedentary a lifestyle. Standing burns more calories, keeps employees slightly more active, and may even improve productivity for some employees.
7) Bring Some Work Outdoors
If your office area and industry is good for it, consider encouraging employees to take some work outside and take in the fresh air, perhaps also getting a healthy walk in as they meet with each other or make important plans.
If your building can accommodate it, you might even want to make a small outside workstation or two, setting up a table where people can bring their laptops out on a nice day.
8) Install Gym Equipment or Offer Memberships
If your company is large enough to justify it, consider using some space to set up a workplace gym where employees can get their blood flowing before or after their workday. Many people don’t go to the gym because of the hassle or commute, and your company can remove that burden, leading to a healthier lifestyle.
If an office gym isn’t a feasible option, you can still promote a healthier lifestyle by offering memberships (or membership discounts) to employees, removing the financial factor from the decision for employees.
9) Create a Workplace Sports Team
The form this suggestion takes will depend highly on if leagues or fields are available in your area, but creating an office sports team is a great way for your employees to bond outside the office while staying active. Even being on a bowling team will bring more activity into people’s lives.
If sports aren’t really an option, than even consider starting up a running group within the office to keep people invested and accountable to each other in their new habit.
10) Encourage Stair Use
It’s a simple suggestion, but it’s easy to implement and it works. Taking the stairs regularly is better exercise than most people think, and it could be a great first step to wellness for many employees. Consider putting up a notice near the office elevator or making a sign pointing people towards the stairs.
Sleep and Stress
11) Allow for Naps
A sleep-deprived employee is hardly an employee at all, and coffee, while loved, is often just a band-aid for the real problem at hand: most workers simply aren’t getting enough sleep to work at peak performance. On top of that, exhausted employees aren’t likely to take part in other workplace wellness initiatives.
While unorthodox, allowing some time for a quick nap when employees get tired might leave employees alert, focused, and far more productive, easily making up for the time spent snoozing.
12) Limit the Number of Hours Spent in the Office
While working hard can be a virtue, spending too much time at the office can be bad for an employee’s health and outright counterproductive. The increased stress will cause long-term adverse health effects throughout the body, and the lack of time will mean the employee is less likely to properly take care of themselves.
From a productivity level, it’s now known that working too many hours for more than a couple of weeks leads to diminishing returns and eventually to lost productivity from having to correct mistakes.
13) Refuse to Keep Employees too Late
On a similar note, unless the job involves a late shift, make sure that employees go home at a reasonable hour, even shutting down the office at a certain time if necessary. It is best to make sure employees go home and take some time away from work to reduce stress and maintain and healthy work-life balance.
14) Stress the Importance of Vacation
Whether it takes the form of weeklong breaks, monthlong excursions, or simply regular long weekends, even top performers need to take breaks to keep themselves sharp and healthy. American workers work more than nearly any other advanced nation, and that can mean they miss out on less stress and better cardiovascular health.
Even if you must force people to take a break, consider stressing the importance of vacation and make the work environment one that encourages the usage of vacation time, as opposed to some toxic and overcompetitive workplaces.
Programs, Incentives, and Feedback
15) Host Regular Workplace Wellness Challenges
To change things up regularly, consider hosting workplace health challenges on a weekly basis, with a prize available for the winners.
Examples could be walking a mile every day for a month, going without ordering unhealthy take-out for lunch for a period of time, or simply drinking the proper amount of water every day.
16) Help Employees Quit Smoking and Reward Them for Getting There
If there are any smokers at your workplace, quitting smoking is without a doubt the best possible thing they can do for their health. You will want to research incentive efforts based on the size of your business and implement them to keep smoke away from the workplace. Providing an additional incentive, whatever you think might be best, to smokers to quit might just be the push needed.
17) Bring the Health Professional to the Employees
Many employees won’t be able to remember the last time they saw a health professional of any sort, and this is a major problem. Having a health expert, nutritionist, or nurse come to the office to provide advice and even perform evaluations is a great way to lead employees to wellness, and such a visit may possibly catch problems before they become a major issue (for both the employee and your business)
While this is a great idea for some offices, we would like to offer the warning that some employees might see this as an invasion of privacy, so we recommend stressing that the health professional will have no ties to the company and that the services are optional. If you’re still concerned, talk to a legal professional.
18) Allow Sick Employees to Work Remotely
While in an ideal workplace employees will take the day off if they get sick, the truth is that some projects won’t rest and some employees are too passionate about their work to let sickness get in the way, even if they happen to be contagious.
The best compromise is allowing for remote work in this instance, keeping the project on track while keeping germs out of the workplace.
19) Encourage Volunteer Programs
Many volunteer or charity partnerships involve exercise and activity, whether that comes in the form of a charity walk or a team effort to clean up the local wilderness of litter. Letting employees take a day of company time to help the community also boosts employee morale and can have mental health benefits.
20) Make Your Workplace Bicycle Friendly
This could take the form of a bike-to-work program, a discount at the local bicycle shop, or just installing a few secure bike racks near the office, but making it easy for people to pedal their way to work is a way to make wellness easy for employees.
21) Take Wellness Suggestions from Employees
While we researched this topic heavily and came up with the most common and effective ideas for most offices, no one will know your employees and office like your employees themselves. We suggest taking some to explain that the business is working to improve employee wellness and is actively taking suggestions to that effect. You’ll be able to know exactly what they want and exactly what will work best.
While it’s unlikely that all the above ideas will work in your workspace, we’re certain that by implementing just a few of the above ideas you’ll be able to improve the overall health of your staff and start seeing results in a few months at most. We wish you luck with your efforts and encourage you to look further into ways your business can support wellness among employees.

Don’t worry, you are not alone. Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common form of hair loss in the UK in men. It can start as early as the early 20s and occurs in 30% of men by the age of 30 and in 50% of men by the age of 50. Hair loss affects some individuals more than others and if it is affecting your confidence then it matters.
There could be a number of other causes for hair loss such as an autoimmune disease (Alopecia areata) and hair loss due to chemo or radiotherapy. The treatment options available are mainly for male pattern baldness. Speak to our pharmacists to establish your suitability for the treatment and to find the best treatment option tailored to your needs.
The most well known treatment for male pattern baldness in the UK is Propecia (finasteride). Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It lowers the hormone levels in the scalp which brings about a shorter hair growth phase. This treatment is only available in one strength of 1mg.
Another well established treatment option is minoxidil (Regaine). It is a pharmacy only (P) drug used in both male and females. The response to Regaine is hard to predict as results vary between individuals. It is available in multiple forms and strengths.
Contact our hair loss experts to find out how we can help you with your hair loss management and establish which treatment is suitable for you. | health |

Hello and welcome… My name is Stephanie Dignan and I am a certified personal trainer and the owner of The Boot Camp Girl. Currently I and several other personal trainers and coaches are teaching a small group boot camp-style fitness program and doing private group and individual personal training. Boot camps are currently in Columbia, Maryland (Laurel, Fulton, Clarksville, Ellicott City and Highland nearby) and Glenwood, Maryland (Woodbine, Glenelg, Dayton and Mt. Airy nearby).
Boot camp training is for anyone at any level. Some people come into boot camp that are inactive, feel out-of-shape or have never worked out before. That’s Ok! Boot camp participants are of all ages, weights and physical abilities. We will tailor the exercises for you depending on your ability. Even if you have physical limitations, we will make sure that you get a safe workout in boot camp or one-on-one personal training at a pace that’s comfortable for you.
There are also people that start boot camp who have been exercising for a while and are in good shape but are looking for a change. The exercises in boot camp will work your muscles differently and help to give you that extra challenge so that you see more results. Also, no two boot camp workouts are the same. Because of the variety, you will stay interested and the body will stay challenged. If you’re in great shape and want to get the best workout of your life, we will make sure you get that!
AS FEATURED IN:
What Makes The Bootcamp Girl So Unique? You Get All These Benefits With Your Membership:
I’ve completely changed my eating habits. I’ve cleaned up my eating a lot by cleaning up the junk food. My strength has increased tremendously. I’m doing push-ups every day. I’m running and getting less than 10 minute miles. It’s been a totally awesome trip!
“I lost 69 lbs - It’s been a totally awesome trip! ”
How is the program different?
Many people tell me that they just haven’t been able to achieve the results on their own. People know that they need to exercise and eat healthier but they just aren’t doing it.
They tell me about programs that they’ve tried that didn’t work or only work temporarily. I can’t tell you the number of times that I’ve heard people say that they are looking for accountability. Many students have told me that the accountability that we’ve given them through boot camp group training or personal training is a big part of what’s helped them.
You will also have the option of attending additional sessions. Currently we offer: Kick Boxing, Yoga, Strength & Conditioning, Open Training and Running/Walking Intervals. These sessions give you even more variety.
Through my group and personal training programs, we will help you to create habits that last a lifetime, so your results will last a lifetime. By finding exercise and healthy food that you love, you can achieve your fitness goals and be happy with your lifestyle. The programs are designed to help empower you to develop determination and maintain motivation. People have a lot of fun in the program and make new friendships. We also plan events for the boot camp group which makes it more fun. This is a supportive group which makes it easier to achieve your goals and feel good doing so. Many people have improved their eating habits and have lost weight through the support of the coaches and the group participants in boot camp.

I look forward to seeing you for your first boot camp or personal training workout!
I am just starting my third week with the Boot Camp Girl and am hooked! I already am starting to feel better and stronger. The instructors do a great job of getting the most out of each person. Everyone is welcoming and mutually motivating in every session I have attended. I am really glad I made the shift from a private trainer at a gym to the Boot Camp Girl.
I’ve been doing boot camp for 6 months, lost 25 lbs, taken a minute and a half off of my mile time and, most importantly, I feel much better about doing active sports. I’ve had no injuries, much less back pain and good reports from my annual check-up with reduced levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in my blood.
All around it’s been a great experience for me and most importantly I’ve been able to do it without any injury or infirmities that go along with activities at my age group. Thank you very much, Stephanie.
At first I was intimidated to try boot camp but now I feel comfortable and really enjoy it! In a little under 2 months I’ve lost 10 pounds, can run 1 mile, and can do 22 (real!) pushups! Can’t wait to see what 6 months looks like!
I’ve been in The Boot Camp Girl program for a little over 2 months. In that time I’ve lost inches off of my waist, my muscles are getting toned and I’m getting stronger. I have more energy and I’ve lost 15 pounds. I just recommend this program to anyone. It is great!
After having my first child I was really determined to get into shape and seeing her at the sign-up table I was intrigued to join boot camp. Since I’ve been there, the results have been amazing! One of my favorite parts of boot camp is the team encouragement that I get from the other participants of the boot camp and Stephanie. I recommend this to anyone to try it out and give it a shot!
Stephanie’s program has helped me: I’ve lost 15lbs, I’m now able to do 60 push-ups, I’ve lost inches and my running times have really improved. With that I have a lot more confidence the next time I run a race that I’m going to do better than I did the last time. I attend the Clarksville boot camp and the Columbia boot camp.
There are also people that start boot camp who have been exercising for a while but are looking for a change. The exercises in boot camp will work your muscles differently and help to give you that extra challenge so that you see more results. | health |

The concert is organised by a committed group of volunteers who meet throughout the year. Our Patron is The Duchess of Devonshire, a past committee member. We are also supported by several local businesses and organisations who help the concert through advertising and sponsorship. All proceeds raised by our concerts go directly to Macmillan Cancer Support and are used to help fund projects in the area.
Started in 1997, the concert was the brainchild of Lady Zetland, a previous President of Macmillan, who wanted to replicate the well-known Macmillan Guards Chapel Carol Concert in London at a suitable Northern venue. Initially the concert was held at St Mary’s, Thirsk but its success soon required a move to a bigger venue. Over 20 years later the Ripon Carol Concert is now a much talked about annual event and for many marks the start of their Christmas festivities.
Over the years we have been very lucky to have numerous celebrity visitors, readers and speakers including HRH King Charles III, Bear Grylls, and Ed Chamberlin to name a few, professional musicians and the support of the Aysgarth School Choirs and Queen Mary’s musicians providing a varied programme of music and readings. Liqueurs and mince pies served in the Cathedral crossing round off the evening.
We are proud to announce we have raised £513,246 for Macmillan Cancer Support in North Yorkshire over the last 25 years.
Funding Yorkshire Projects
Our funds assist cancer sufferers across Yorkshire to diagnose symptoms early. Macmillan with Sir Robert Ogden jointly fund care in Northallerton and Harrogate at two incredible care centres.
The Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre in Northallerton is a purpose-built £10million centre opened in December 2018 and now provides more than 4,500 chemotherapy treatments a year and more than 200 outpatient appointments a week.
Macmillan is the UK’s leading cancer supporter charity giving personal, one to one care and support to thousands of people every day. Cancer can affect anyone. Receiving a cancer diagnosis can turn life upside down in a single moment. But from the moment people hear the news they have cancer, Macmillan is there.
We are the only charity supporting anyone, no matter what their age, where they live or their cancer diagnosis. We are here to help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can, providing physical, financial and emotional support. So whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
Our services are almost entirely funded by donations, so without the continued support of everyone who organises and attends the Macmillan Ripon Carol Concert, many of the crucial cancer support services available to patients in Yorkshire simply would not exist.

And, identical twins remain remarkably close in weight until early puberty, when environmental factors exert a strong pull. Heredity seems to be particularly influential in where fat settles. It also determines the strategy your body uses to get rid of excess calories. So, heredity does have something to do with being overweight. This genetic factor partially explains why some individuals can eat an enormous amount of food and stay thin while others may eat small portions and gain weight. Hearty eaters who are lean are less efficient at using the calories in food. If you are overweight, there is a chance that your body is a more efficient food burner. You have probably inherited the ability to use food efficiently and store the excess, unused calories as fat. But, all is not lost. If you are knowledgeable about your body and your food needs and put the information into practice, you will be fine.

With its balanced blend of electrolytes and minerals, Re-Lyte PRE improves performance, fights muscle fatigue, and aids in recovery, while helping you get the most out of your time in and out of the gym

-Three essential amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) that support strength, speed, endurance, and muscle recovery. BCAAs have a slightly bitter flavor that we chose not to mask with artificial sweeteners like other pre-workout brands do. We felt the benefits of BCAAs outweighed the bitterness.
-Beta Alanine, A non-essential amino acid shown to boost exercise performance by increasing exercise capacity and decreasing muscle fatigue. Can cause tingling in the lips, ears, or fingertips when taken in doses over 2 grams. This is harmless and will start to fade within 30 minutes.
-Green Tea Extract, Provides a clean kick through 150 mg of caffeine. Research shows it can improve workout performance and help with post-workout recovery. It’s also high in antioxidants and supports brain health, heart health, liver function, and weight loss.
-Taurine, Contains the amino acid sulfonic acid, which may help improve muscle endurance. It’s also known to promote electrolyte balance.
-Ginseng Root, A popular herb in traditional Chinese medicine, it’s best known for its ability to provide a balanced energy boost and keep inflammation in check.
-Maca Root, Native to Peru, it’s sometimes called Peruvian ginseng because it supports energy just as effectively as ginseng. Maca’s also been shown to improve exercise endurance.
Re-Lyte Pre-Workout doesn’t contain any of the junk ingredients or fillers you’ll find in other pre-workout mixes, like sugar, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, and anti-caking agents, and thickening agents.
Mix or shake well. (Avoiding artificial ingredients means a little extra mixing.)
Mix one scoop of Re-Lyte Pre-Workout into 8-12oz of water. (If you're new to pre-workouts start with half a serving) | health |

Repeated studies show that by using EMDR people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. When you cut your hand, your body works to close the wound. If a foreign object or repeated injury irritates the wound, it festers and causes pain. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. The brain's information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes.
EMDR - Feel State Addiction Protocol
A new short-term therapy that breaks behavioral addictions and eliminates the urges and cravings of substance addictions. EMDR is a clinically proven psychotherapy that has been used in the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to reduce traumatic fixations. FSAP has modified the EMDR protocol because of the different psychological dynamics that create compulsive fixations rather than traumatic fixations.
Comprehensive Resource Model-CRM
The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) is a neuro-biologically based trauma treatment model which facilitates targeting of traumatic experiences by bridging the most primitive aspects of the person and their brain, to their purest, healthiest part of the self. This bridge catalyzes the mind and body to access all forms of emotional trauma and stress by utilizing layers of internal resources such as attachment neurobiology, breathwork skills, somatic resources, our connection to the natural world, toning and sacred geometry, and one’s relationship with self, our intuition, and higher consciousness. The sequencing and combination of these resources, and the eye positions that anchor them, provide the opportunity for fear responses to be cleared thoroughly while the client is fully aware and present moment to moment. CRM allows individuals to effectively orient fully towards the most frightening material, uniquely accessing and clearing the origin of the split second moments of intolerable affect that result in defense responses which lead to life-interfering symptoms, addictions, and disconnection from self and others. The potential for clearing neurobiological debris from the nervous system clears the way for positive neuro-plasticity and personal expansion whether that is seen as spiritual or otherwise, and which is separate from one’s history of pain and woundedness.
CRM was originally developed for use with those individuals who experience the challenges of Complex PTSD, severe Dissociative Disorders, and Attachment Disorders, however many psychiatric diagnoses are effectively addressed through the use of this model. Military veterans and their families find this modality to be particularly effective in healing the deep wounds caused by war.
Individual CRM resources as well as the model as a whole can be used with many types of psychotherapeutic modalities including:
Internal Family Systems, and many others.
Work is done from the time of conception through the present and includes methods for working with generational trauma out of the realm of the client’s conscious knowledge. This is a heart-centered approach in which clients are guided to re-member who they really are and to learn to embody their true authentic self in their day to day lives.
“Brainspotting is based on the profound attunement of the therapist with the patient, finding a somatic cue and extinguishing it by down-regulating the amygdala. It isn’t just PNS (Parasympathetic Nervous System) activation that is facilitated, it is homeostasis.” -- Robert Scaer, MD, “The Trauma Spectrum”
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing. Brainspotting functions as a neurobiological tool to support the clinical healing relationship. There is no replacement for a mature, nurturing therapeutic presence and the ability to engage another suffering human in a safe and trusting relationship where they feel heard, accepted, and understood.
Our bodies inherit the archives of our ancestors in their cells, nerves, muscles, blood, and bones. Adopting the attitudes, patterns, and dynamics of our families, communities, and environment, these elements shape and define us. We become what we’ve inherited, what others have said we are, what our teachers have taught us. The remains in our bodies directly influence our personal health, thoughts, relationships, and actions— and unearthing these memories can eventually lead to our greatest well-being, and hence, to social change and global harmony Somatic Archaeology™ combines somatic attunement, breathwork, aromatherapy, neurophysiology, nature meditation, medicine wheel principles, and stress management models formulated from kincentric principles to create profound shifts in your hormonal, physical and emotional well being. | health |

Mental Health Advice
- Try to eat well and sleep well, aim for 7 hours of sleep at least in the night at one go.
- Keep in contact with family and friends frequently through phone and video calls, keep yourself entertained through different forms of media that you can get your hands on.
- If feeling negative emotionally, remind yourself that you are not to blame. If unable to cope independently can consider calling National Care Hotline 6202-6868 (Singapore).
- Try to do exercises as regularly as you are able to even if it is for a short period. Exercise helps to increase endorphins which helps to improve one’s mood.
Exercises you can do
- Aerobic (Walking) Consider week 1 as from the day you start.
- Week 1: 5 minutes, 5 times a day
- Week 2: 10 minutes, 3 times a day
- Week 3: 15 minutes, 2 times a day
- Change positions regularly
As you have been in bed for a long period when you are sick, your muscles are deconditioned. It is preferable that you stay upright more often than you lie down. Other than that, it is best if you could change your position every 30 minutes.
- Diaphragmatic Breathing
You may lie on your back with your knees bent or sit upright. Put one hand on your chest and the other on your belly. Breathe in deeply with your nose and mouth, ensure that you do feel your belly expanding. Subsequently exhale out through your mouth slowly as if blowing a candle. Keep repeating for 1 minute.
- Balance and Strengthening Exercises
- Ankle pumps with seated knee extension
Make sure you are seated all the way into the chair. In a seated position, bring your lower leg up to a point where your knee is straightened. Keep it at that position, move your foot and toes up and down for 3 times before bringing your lower leg back down to the ground. Keep repeating for 30 seconds each leg. Perform this exercise one leg at a time.
- Sit to stand squats
Scoot to the front of the chair. You may choose to either have arms reached out to the front or crossed across your chest. Lean forwards and lift yourself off the seat and stand upright. For those who find it difficult to stand up or balance self without arm support may use a table or any other firm objects as a form of support. Do this for 30 seconds.
- Standing march
In a standing position and holding onto something firm, bring one leg up with knee bent to hip height and hold it there for 2 seconds before setting it back down. Try to do it for alternating legs each time. Keep going for 30 seconds. If unable to, repeat for 10 times per leg and another 10 times for the other.
- Arm reaches
You may choose to do this in sitting or standing. Start off with your arms down crossed to the opposite hips. Open up and bring your arm across in front of your body and swing it outwards. End the position with a little arch of the back and stretching feel. Repeat for 30 seconds.
- Standing heel raises
You may choose to do this exercise with or without support. In standing, lift your heels off the ground as high as you can go. At the highest position, pause for 2 seconds then slowly lower yourself down. Repeat for 30 seconds.
- Side stepping
Standing with your back against the long side of your bed. Start at either end, take half a step out to the front. Take a step to the side with one leg followed by the other leg. Keep taking steps till at end of bed then move back in the opposite direction. Keep going for 30 seconds.
- Wall Pushups
Start with your hands flat on the wall. Keep elbows and trunk straight first. Then bend your elbows to lower yourself slowly towards the wall, then push yourself upright again away from the wall, you need to keep your whole body straight rather than bending only a part of your body. Always make sure that your hands’ position on the wall is not higher than your shoulders’. Repeat for 30 seconds.
Some Precautions to note
- Make sure you give yourself a 30-second break after every exercise before starting the next.
- When you feel generally unwell, chest pain, palpitations, severe breathlessness or giddiness, do not commence or continue with the exercises. Seek medical attention if necessary.
- Do drink enough water before, during and after exercise.
- It would be ideal that you monitor your oxygen level and heart rate while performing all these exercises with a pulse oximeter.
- For oxygen level, do stop and rest from the exercises if it goes below 90% for those who do not have any background of lung conditions on top of being a COVID survivor. It would be 88% for those who have a background of other lung conditions on top of being a COVID survivor.
- As for heart rate, make sure to rest or slow down when it has increased to 30 beats from your resting heart rate.
- For those who do not have the pulse oximeter, you may use the talk test as a method to track how your body is tolerating the exercises. If you are still able to complete a sentence or count up to 7 in one breath comfortably, you are doing well. | health |

Technology has changed the skills and procedures health care workers must master, and it has also changed the non-clinical skills one must possess to succeed in the field.
“There was a time when non-clinical skills were not considered a necessary component of good patient care,” says Barbara Bergin, an orthopedic surgeon with Texas Orthopedics, Sports and Rehabilitation Associates in Austin “If your doctor was short-tempered and brusque, it was simply expected and tolerated,”. But now, with social media, patient experience surveying and our heightened awareness of bad behavior and intolerance for bullying, physicians are being held accountable for the quality of their care, and that includes their behavior.”
These are five non-clinical skills that people in the medical field need to master.
Learning to listen
Being able to listen carefully to your patients and co-workers is a must.
“In this day and age of computerized information, this is particularly difficult,” Bergin says. Medical staff using computer templates are forced to look at the screen constantly, and they may appear distracted even if they aren’t.
Make it a point to direct your attention away from the screen. After all, to correctly diagnose and treat patients, you must listen to what they say and make them feel comfortable enough to tell you the whole story.
“Make as much eye contact with the patient and their family members as possible,” Bergin says. “Let them talk for a little while. If they don’t want to talk, then prompt them with an open-ended question.”
Most patients want to talk, so you should encourage them to do so. Take advantage of your sense of humor when appropriate. “Sharing a smile or even a belly laugh with a patient goes a long way,” she says
Showing you care
You might already care about your patients, but you need to be able to communicate that, regardless of how hectic or stressful your day is.
“All physicians care,” Bergin says. “We care about our outcomes at the minimum, but we must also appear to care about more than an outcome. We must care about our patients’ well-being.”
Bergin suggests reminding yourself to treat every patient like he or she is a member of your family and encouraging colleagues to do the same. Everyone who contacts the patient, from check-in to check-out, should ask themselves if they met that standard.
Working as a team
Successful health care professionals know the importance of working well with others.
“As health care providers, we never work in isolation,” says Edna Ma, a physician anesthesiologist in Los Angeles. A single patient may interact with multiple physicians, nurses and other staff members, making it critical to patient safety and health care delivery that information flows smoothly.
“Being a good team player involves respecting everyone on the team regardless of rank or title, and listening to others,” she says. “Patients’ lives are at stake if teamwork and communication break down.”
In the operating room, for example, all members of the team serve important roles, and they must communicate about it clearly. A “time out” or “surgical pause” is performed before every surgery so everyone on the team can introduce themselves. This increases the likelihood that someone will speak up, even to a surgeon, if they notice a problem, she adds.
Managing your time
Running late and appearing rushed are two big patient complaints about doctors, Bergin says. “We are often running late, and we are often rushed.”
Health care workers have to spend more and more time entering data and documenting activities of patients, which eats into the time available to spend with the patient. Bergin suggests getting as efficient as possible with your computer and documentation duties so you can sit down with the patient and have a meaningful conversation.
Additionally, you need to manage your time well so you aren’t cramming your notes in at the end of the shift, or something important might get missed, says Michelle Katz, a licensed practical nurse in Los Angeles and author of Healthcare Made Easy. “You want to spend the right amount of time with the patient to be able to assess if the plan of treatment is effective. If you are rushed, you might miss something that is critical to the care of the patient.”
Critical-thinking skills are necessary every day in nursing, Katz says.
“Since the nurse is dealing with the daily care in most cases, it is important that he or she observes what the patient can handle and what their resources are, as well as their mental state,” she says. “This is essential in assessing the appropriate care plan for the patient.”
When you think critically, you treat the person as a whole and keep in mind that their situation might change, she adds. | health |

That is why we decided to make your office stay easier and have prepared some helpful exercises for you:
1. Let's start with tilting and rotating the head.
This is a simple yet effective exercise. To do this, you need to sit up straight (lower your shoulders), make slow bends back and forth, right and left, and go to the rotation of the head clockwise or counterclockwise.
(Repeat 10 times in each direction)
2. Move on to shoulder exercises.
Starting with shoulder rotations, move on to stretching: reach your right hand to your left shoulder and similarly in the opposite direction.
3. And don't forget about back exercises.
To do this, you need to stretch out your arms and fold them into the castle. Then raise it, turn it in the other direction and stretch it up nicely.
We recommend adding a short "walk" around the office after.
All the exercises will take you no more than five minutes, but they will surely give you strength and energize you for work. | health |

Simply put, Tonal Chiropractic is a generic term referring to an expanded and more encompassing perspective of chiropractic analysis and application. It takes its descriptive name from tone, here defined as “the expression of vibratory frequencies through matter”. Applied to the spinal cord; “tension alters tone”, i.e., spinal subluxations tend to increase tension. As tension is increased, the range of vibratory frequencies that can be expressed is decreased. So tonal chiropractic considers spinal cord tension over spinal cord pressure.
Tone was first described in chiropractic by D.D. Palmer who discovered and founded chiropractic. Spinal cord tension was described and distinguished from spinal cord pressure by R.W. Stephenson, D.C. in the “Chiropractic Text Book”, first published in 1927.
Tonal chiropractic approaches use a more vitalistic, physiological and moment-to-moment analysis over the more mechanically based, often x-ray dependent analysis. The adjustments tend to be low force, more facilitating and empowering to the patient/practice member in a tonal approach. The corrective and healing process tends to continue on an on-going basis rather than reaching a point of maintenance.
Historically, “Logan Basic” seems to be the first systematized chiropractic technique to introduce tonal application approaches. Then, “Toftness” technique developed the first entirely tonal approach. Lowell Ward, D.C. elaborately described the anatomical and physiological considerations of tonal chiropractic in his book, “Spinal Stressology”. More recently, Donald Epstein, D.C. expanded upon the application of tonal chiropractic with his Network Chiropractic, now Network Spinal Analysis. I co-founded Torque Release Technique with Jay Holder, D.C. Dr. Holder invented the Integrator hand held adjusting instrument and Marvin Talsky, D.C. developed and structured the Torque Release Model and technique.
Since then, Steve Hoffman, D.C. applied the principles and protocol of T.R.T. to develop MC2, a true vitalistic and tonal application of upper cervical technique; and Sue Brown, D.C. developed Bio Geometric Integration chiropractic.
Torque Release Technique represented the evolutionary development of my clinical practice in 1995 after 30 years of continuous full time practice. It was derived from applying more of chiropractic philosophical principles to the application with major contributions from Van Rumpt’s Directional Non Force Technique, Logan Basic Technique and Epstein’s Network Chiropractic with additional contributions from Toftness Technique, Thompson’s Terminal Point Technique, DeJarnett’s Sacro Occipital Technique and Pierce, Stillwagon technique.
Talsky Tonal Chiropractic (TTC) is the “Next Generation”, built on the basic structure I developed for Torque Release Technique but expanded with deeper, more complete explanations, with newer discoveries and more refined technique applications. TTC enhances and empowers the individual D.C. to bring personal experiences and gifts to the tonal model.
Does Tonal Chiropractic hurt?
No, in fact most people enjoy the experience. The adjustment itself takes only a few seconds and uses a very light amount of gentle pressure.
Is Tonal Chiropractic safe?
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe. The risk factor for traditional mechanistic chiropracitc adjustments are estimated to be less than one million to one. And since Tonal Chiropractic adjustments use a very light amount of force they are even more safe and very gentle.
Enhancing Performance Capabilities
April 9, 2017
Tonal Chiropractic – A New Approach by Marvin Talsky, D.C.
Enhancing overall healing and immune functions, enhancing work performance, enhancing athletic performance and performing art ability; these along with a heightened sense of well being are the goals of the new Tonal Chiropractic. Dr. Marvin A. Talsky, a master chiropractor in full time practice on the north shore since 1965, in 1995 co-founded and developed the first new technique of Chiropractic’s second century, Torque Release Technique. As of 2001, he developed Talsky Tonal Chiropractic. Some of the refinements of the new tonal work are:
- Non-manipulative adjustment: The emphasis is in communicating new corrective information through gentle touch or a light thrust by hand-held instrument.
- After each adjustment, the body is given time to process the corrective input.
- Corrections don’t stop when you get off the table, but continue with your body’s movements and breathing.
- This process teaches and empowers your body to make more corrections and healing with ongoing care.
- Because analysis and correction are not limited to just the area of pain and symptom, integration tends to be more complete and healing experiences are deeper in all areas of the body, mind and emotions.
The primary intent of this work is to progressively reduce tension and blockages in the entire spinal system, to release trapped unresolved patterns in the body/mind, and to facilitate reintegration of the nervous system, allowing a greater expression of one’s healing and performance capabilities.
Dr. Talsky has been teaching this new work to chiropractors all over the U.S.A. and Canada in postgraduate seminars since 1995. He has a full time practice in northwest Evanston, and is available to share introductory lectures and demonstrations for your organization. He is happy to answer any questions about his practice and can be reached at: 847-828-4108
Tonal Chiropractic: An Alternative To What?
March 7, 2017
Who should I consult for this health problem/pain? Should I consult a tonal chiropractor or M.D. or acupuncturist or homeopath or physical therapist or nutritionist or…etc., etc.? Tonal chiropractic is not a substitute or alternative for any other practice and no other practice eliminates the need for tonal chiropractic. Tonal chiropractic needs are entirely separate and unique, and, if you have them, no matter how much you exercise, no matter how good your diet, no matter if you reduce your stress, no matter how good your acupuncture or homeopathy is, you still need tonal chiropractic care. Even old-fashioned chiropractic care, if needed, still doesn’t take care of tonal chiropractic needs.
So what is tonal chiropractic? Tonal chiropractic addresses spinal cord tension more than spinal pressure. Spinal cord tensions always involve the entire spinal system from the tailbone to and including the cranial bones. Spinal nerve pressure, addressed by more traditional chiropractors, involves separate localized areas of the spine. Dr. Marvin Talsky, after 25 years of chiropractic practice learned, observed and verified with other chiropractors that over 90% of chiropractic problems involve abnormal spinal cord tension more than nerve pressure. Therefore, what has become evident is, the need for tonal chiropractic care remains no matter what other health needs are being treated. Rather than being an alternative, Tonal Chiropractic is a complementary approach to enhance healing or therapy practices.
It is vital to know that the body is never in a static state; health is not a static state of being. Each of us is either in the process of healing and developmental growth or in the process of developing health problems and/or disease. It is our belief, through our years of practice and experience, that , we don’t have to accept most chronic ailments and disabilities as a normal part of aging.
Although many health problems improve with tonal chiropractic care, the purpose of this care is to facilitate normalizing of nerve system function, freeing the body to adapt more, recover more, and to increase performance capabilities in work, athletics and the arts. So then the choice is yours. Do nothing until symptoms develop that interfere with your life. The other option is to take this opportunity- to pro-actively enhance your healing and immune functions and increase your performance capabilities now. This is exactly what many people have been looking for. We encourage you to come for care.
If you have any questions about whether or not tonal chiropractic care may benefit you, call 847-828-4108 to schedule a consultation with Talsky Tonal Chiropractic so that Dr. Marvin Talsky and his team can help you begin your path to wellness. | health |

Metabolomic Technologies Inc. Signs Exclusive Licensing and Distribution Agreement With U.S. Based Atlantic Diagnostic Laboratories LLC
EDMONTON, AB--(Marketwired - May 04, 2016) - Metabolomic Technologies Inc. (MTI) has signed a multi-million dollar exclusive licensing and distribution agreement with Atlantic Diagnostic Laboratories, LLC (ADL) for its flagship product, PolypDx™, a urine-based diagnostic test for detection of adenomatous polyps, the precursor to colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of death in North America with over 157,000 new cases reported in 2015 alone. With early detection in the adenomatous polyp stage, this form of cancer is preventable. Currently, only 39% of colorectal cancer cases in the United States are diagnosed at an early and treatable stage resulting in a five-year survival rate of 63.5%.
The introduction of PolypDx™ hopes to change those statistics. PolypDx™ gives doctors a new tool in the prevention of colorectal cancer. In a Canadian-based clinical trial of nearly 1,000 patients, MTI's PolypDx™ demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity than current fecal-based screening tests to detect adenomatous polyps. Once screened, patients presenting a risk of adenomatous polyps can be directed to a colonoscopy, during which the adenomatous polyps can be completely and safely removed, thus preventing the progression into colorectal cancer. PolypDx™ is a simple and effective test requiring only a small urine sample. Early detection and ease of use are key distinguishing factors for a screening test in the prevention of colorectal cancer.
The exclusive, three and a half year, multi-million dollar licensing and distribution agreement signed between MTI and ADL provides a valuable entry point into the U.S. market. Initially, PolypDx™ will be available across twelve eastern states through existing distribution channels with the ability to grow distribution across the United States.
"The partnership and collaboration between MTI and Atlantic Diagnostic Laboratories will provide the opportunity for patients to access a simple and accurate test with proven capacity to detect adenomatous colonic polyps and thereby prevent colon cancer," said Dr. Richard Fedorak, President of MTI.
"ADL, with its extensive LC/MS/MS expertise, has long awaited a high-quality partner such as MTI," said Aaron Domenico, Chief Operating Officer of ADL. He added, "ADL is very excited to be offering the PolypDx™ non-invasive urine test."
About Metabolomic Technologies Inc. (MTI):
Metabolomic Technologies Inc. (MTI) is a privately held Canadian company based in Edmonton, Alberta. A spin-off from the University of Alberta, MTI focuses on the development of metabolomics-based diagnostic systems created from proprietary biomarker technologies. The Company's flagship product, PolypDx™, an innovative urine diagnostic test, offers a significantly higher sensitivity in detecting adenomatous polyps, a precursor to colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC is a leading cause of death in North America, but is curable if identified through early screening processes. PolypDx™ provides healthcare professionals with a tool for early screening and detection over less effective fecal-based screening methodologies considered suboptimal due to a lack of sensitivity and acceptability.
MTI is committed to developing high value diagnostic tests for the management of chronic disease. The Company received the North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology Innovation Leadership in 2014.
About Atlantic Diagnostic Laboratories, LLC (ADL):
Atlantic Diagnostic Laboratories, LLC (ADL) is a U.S.-based independent clinical laboratory with its headquarters in the suburbs of Philadelphia. ADL is a full-service laboratory providing microbiology, chemistry, toxicology, immunology, and virology testing used by the medical profession in routine testing, patient diagnosis, and in the monitoring and treatment of diseases. It has also developed niche operations based on certain types of specialized testing capabilities providing insights that empower and enable medical professionals to make better healthcare decisions. ADL is fully accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) for clinical and forensic studies. | health |

A total of 2,000 employees took part in the research which was carried out by data capture app provider, WorkMobile.
The study forms part of the ‘Work Safe’ report, which looks at the current state of health and safety in the UK and where improvements need to be made to protect workers.
It found that 61 per cent have not received details of their firm’s health and safety policies, despite the majority of men having more hazardous jobs.
54 per cent of male respondents work in a position that exposes them to danger, compared to 19 per cent of women, however only a quarter of men who are more likely to encounter dangers at work and have received safety guidance didn’t feel clear enough about the risks of their role.
And 13 per cent claimed the health and safety information hadn’t been updated since they’ve received it, so could be out-of-date.
Colin Yates, chief support officer at WorkMobile, said: “From the research, we can see that men tend to work in more dangerous roles than women – which is probably to be expected. What we’d also expect to see is that these men are properly looked after while at work, with businesses putting measures in place to keep them away from harm.
“But this does not seem to be the case. It’s really shocking to see that some businesses are failing to put in place even the most basic health and safety procedures to protect their workers most at risk of injury.
“Companies need to make sure they’re putting the safety and wellbeing of their staff first – it’s their legal responsibility. When staff are not trained on how to work safely, or are not given the correct information to operate compliantly, there is a greater risk of accidents happening – especially in these more hazardous industries.” | health |

Almost 28 percent of people who used refillable “tank” models every day to get their nicotine hit gave up smoking, compared with 11 percent of those using “cigalikes” that are disposable or use replaceable cartridges, according to a study by addiction scientists at King’s College London. Quitting rates for non-daily users of e-cigarettes were lower, though tank aficionados still came out ahead.
The findings, published in the journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research, may be significant for smokers trying to decide which type of e-cigarette to try. Tanks may deliver nicotine more effectively, and the devices allow users to adjust nicotine content and flavors, which along with price may be factors that lead to more success in quitting, the researchers said.
“Our research demonstrates the importance of distinguishing between different types of e-cigarettes and frequency of use when examining the association between e-cigarettes and quitting,” Sara Hitchman, a lecturer in the King’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience who led the study, said in a statement.
The research comes amid debate about the safety of the devices, the potential need for regulation and whether e-cigarettes may encourage people to start using the real thing. California health officials have expressed alarm that many young people are using e-cigarettes and may end up smoking as a result.
E-cigarettes deliver nicotine without the tar and many of the harmful chemicals found in traditional cigarettes, though there is disagreement about whether some harmful chemicals are still present in their vapor. The American Heart Association has said physicians shouldn’t discourage e-cigarette use as a last resort for smokers seeking to quit.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed e-cigarette regulations a year ago that would ban sales to minors, prohibit free samples, require agency review and mandate addiction warnings. The FDA hasn’t yet finalized the rules.
In the U.K., e-cigarettes will be licensed as medicines by next year, along with other products such as nicotine gum and patches, under rules approved in 2013. More than 2 million people in Great Britain use e-cigarettes, among a population of about 64 million, according to the researchers.
The findings also may have implications for cigarette makers. Many of the most popular cigalike brands are produced by the tobacco industry, and most of the e-cigarette users in the study were using that type of device, the researchers said.
In the U.S., Lorillard Inc., Reynolds American Inc. and Altria Group Inc. are among tobacco companies that market both tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes. British American Tobacco Plc is developing nicotine inhalers, and Imperial Tobacco Group Plc is buying the Blu e-cigarette brand in a purchase related to Reynolds’ takeover of Lorillard.
Disposable and cartridge-loaded e-cigarettes represented 57 percent of the U.S. “vaping” market last year, according to Reynolds American, though liquid-refill tank models are gaining rapidly.
“It is important to remember that these products are not actually sold as quitting aids; they are simply an alternative,” Will Hill, a spokesman for British American Tobacco, said by e-mail.
“Our focus remains on providing a wide variety of high-quality alternative products” ranging from cigalikes to hybrid models that allow users to adjust the amount of vapor released, Hill said. BAT also makes cigarette brands such as Lucky Strike and Pall Mall.
While Fontem Ventures, a subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco, has only offered cigalikes to consumers, it will introduce a tank version starting with the French market “very soon,” spokesman Marc Michelsen said by phone. The company can’t make claims on smoking cessation as the products aren’t licensed as medical devices, he said.
“We are working to develop a range of products that can be both satisfying and potentially reduced-risk alternatives to combustible cigarettes,” Philip Morris International Inc., which sells both cigalike and tank e-cigarettes, said in an e-mailed statement.
With the tank devices, which are often sold in specialty “vape” stores, users buy liquid refills with different strengths of nicotine. They can choose traditional tobacco flavors or more exotic varieties with names such as “Apple Strudel” and “Café Latte.” The King’s researchers said they were aware of only one refillable tank model made by a tobacco company in the U.K.
In the study, the researchers analysed 1,643 adult smokers and e-cigarette users over one year. | health |

Almost 80 percent of 6,000 respondents to a survey reported some form of discrimination. In about two-thirds of the cases, the reported discrimination was gender-based and in about one-third, it was maternity-based. The survey defined maternal discrimination as relating to breast-feeding, maternity leave or pregnancy.
About half of the respondents reported discrimination related to breast feeding while nearly all reported discrimination based on pregnancy or maternity leave. In addition, almost 50 percent of doctors reporting maternal discrimination also said they suffered from burnout. In general, discrimination took the form of being treated disrespectfully by staff. Female physicians also reported being excluded from decision-making processes and getting less pay and fewer benefits than male physicians.
Around one-third of doctors are female, and a shortage of physicians is expected in the years ahead. According to researchers, employers could put a number of policies in place that could increase the recruitment and retention of female doctors and reduce discrimination. These steps include more schedule flexibility, more paid maternity leave, support for breastfeeding and child care options.
There may be a number of reasons that people do not report discrimination in the workplace. For example, some women doctors might feel it will hurt their careers if they complain about discrimination. However, there are protections in place for people who feel they are suffering workplace discrimination. People may want to try to resolve the issue within workplace channels, but they might still want to speak to an attorney about their rights. They might also consider documenting instances of discrimination so a pattern can be demonstrated. | health |

That’s a lot of money that could be used elsewhere. So how do we manage the cost of owning our furry friends?
The main reasons many love to have pets are:
• teaching kids responsibility
• relaxation and
The main reasons some of us DON’T choose to have pets are:
• home or lifestyle not suitable
• body corporate rules or
• we don’t want the responsibility
The positives of pet ownership
There is no doubt our Aussie lifestyle and climate is perfect for a pet-loving nation. In fact we have one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world. Research also shows there are various health benefits that may be associated with pet ownership including:
• increased cardiovascular health
• more physical activity (especially dog owners)
• fewer visits to the doctor
• strengthened immune system and reduced risk of allergies (when growing up with a dog)
Research has also shown owning a pet can have psychological benefits including:
• children who own pets seem more empathetic and have higher self esteem
• teenagers with pets have a more positive outlook on life and show fewer signs of loneliness, despair and boredom

In a digital world rife with bullying it’s good to hear pets have a positive effect on kids and teens.
Pet owners generally report less depression and appear to cope with grief, stress and loss better than those who don’t own pets. The role of pets in the lives of the elderly has been proven to have a positive effect for those in nursing homes or assisted care.
The cost of owning pets
Before embarking on pet ownership it’s important to factor the cost into your household budget. Many of us may have been caught off guard when that cute puppy or kitten translated into many hundreds of dollars in food, care and vet bills each year. Perhaps even new fencing? One client recently took her cat to the vet and ended up with a $1,000 bill. Ouch!
Research shows the average cost of owning a pet is $1,475 pa per dog and $1,029 pa per cat – not including unexpected costs. The cheapest pet? A goldfish comes in at around $50 pa.
Based on these figures a household with a dog and a cat could spend $25,000+ over their lifespan!
Budgeting for our furry friends
Depending on the breed or source of your pet your initial purchase cost alone could be between $200 and $3,500+.
The average ongoing costs per annum per dog are: food ($622), vet care ($397), health products ($248), grooming ($129) and boarding ($86)1. Estimating your costs, allocating these in your budget and exploring where you can save on other expenses to compensate for your furry friend will help ensure your beloved pet does not result in a cost blowout.
The role of pet insurance
As medical technology and level of veterinary care advance, so too has the cost of treatments. Sadly, an unexpected illness or injury could result in the heartbreaking decision to have a pet euthanised if the cost of treatment is simply unaffordable.
Pet insurance is a growing industry with a number of providers. In 2016 about 25% of dog owners and 20% of cat owners had pet insurance at an average annual cost less than $3001.
As with all insurances it pays to do your research and know the terms and conditions of the policy. It is not always available for older pets and may not cover routine visits such as vaccinations, dental and desexing. Premiums could also be higher for certain breeds.

Some sweeteners may have negative effects on your health, such as weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Here are some examples of unhealthy sweeteners:
- Artificial sweeteners are synthetic substances that mimic the taste of sugar without providing any calories or carbs. They include aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, neotame, and acesulfame potassium1. Some studies have linked artificial sweeteners to alterations in the gut microbiome, which may affect your immune system, digestion, and metabolism2. Some people may also experience headaches, nausea, or allergic reactions from artificial sweeteners1.
- High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a liquid sweetener made from corn starch that contains a high amount of fructose, a type of sugar that is metabolized differently than glucose. HFCS is often added to processed foods and beverages, such as sodas, candies, and baked goods. Consuming too much HFCS can increase your risk of obesity, insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and inflammation2.
- Agave is a syrup made from the sap of the agave plant, which grows in Mexico and South America. Agave is often marketed as a natural and healthy alternative to sugar, but it actually contains more fructose than HFCS. Agave can raise your blood sugar levels and triglycerides, which are a type of fat in your blood that can contribute to heart disease2.
- Brown rice syrup is a sweetener made from cooked brown rice that is fermented with enzymes. It is often used in organic and gluten-free products, such as cereal bars and granola. However, brown rice syrup has a high glycemic index, which means it can spike your blood sugar levels quickly. It also may contain traces of arsenic, a toxic metal that can cause health problems with long-term exposure2.
If you want to reduce your intake of unhealthy sweeteners, you can try using natural sweeteners that are lower in calories and carbs, such as stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, or xylitol. However, you should still use them in moderation and consult your doctor before making any changes to your diet. | health |

Tip for breastmilk oversupply
- Position changes; position baby so his head/neck is higher than mother’s breast. Positions that gravity is working against milk flow
- Block feeding; nurse baby on the same side for several feedings in a row
- Burp baby frequently
- Nurse more frequently before baby becomes aggressively hungry and before pressure builds
- Put baby on breast. When let-down happens, remove baby from breast until the flow subsides, then put baby on to nurse again
- Pump or express milk only enough to relieve built up pressure Do not use before 6 weeks, some people report these herbs being to strong to use for milk oversupply and should be used in more extreme cases for stopping milk production; like in the case of accelerated weaning.
- Sage tea (with caution) can be used as a natural form of estrogen to decrease milk supply. Discontinue use when milk supply stabilizes
- 1-2 drops peppermint oil, with carrier oil, on top of each breast (after feeding, NOT before or during)…this may decrease milk supply drastically

The extent of the lowered mood can greatly vary: about two to three percent of Ontarians experience a form of called “seasonal affective disorder (SAD);” and 15% of Ontarians experience a lower-grade level of reduced mood known as the “winter blues.”
The cause of seasonal affective disorder
The cause of SAD is not completely clear, however it is thought to relate to the reduced exposure to light which happens in the late fall and winter months (October to April). This has been shown to have an impact on our hormone levels in the body, which may lead to changes in mood.
Symptoms of SAD
- Low energy
- Withdrawal from friends and family
- Poor focus/concentration
- Sadness, anxiety, despair
- Changes in appetite, eg: sweet and starch cravings
- Weight gain
- Headaches and irritability
- Increased sleep
- Children may experience difficulty getting out of bed, irritability and problems in school
Treatment for SAD
- Daily outdoor activity and exercise
- Light therapy – home light exposure units (‘light boxes’) are available and usually help within a few days of use.
- Anti-depressant medications
Note that medications may take some time to take effect, so it is ideal to plan ahead with your physician and pharmacist. There is good hope for improvement in your symptoms and there are many treatment options that can effectively support your mood in the fall and winter months.

Today is World Autism Day, part of World Autism Week 2019.
Autism is much more common than many people think. There are around 700,000 people on the autism spectrum in the UK – that's more than 1 in 100. If you include their families, autism is a part of daily life for 2.8 million people.
Autism doesn't just affect children. Autistic children grow up to be autistic adults.
Autism is a hidden disability – you can't always tell if someone is autistic.
While autism is incurable, the right support at the right time can make an enormous difference to people's lives.
63% of children on the autism spectrum are not in the kind of school their parents believe would best support them.
At least one in three autistic adults are experiencing severe mental health difficulties due to a lack of support.
Only 16% of autistic adults in the UK are in full-time paid employment and only 32% are in some kind of paid work.
Only 10% of autistic adults receive employment support but 53% say they want it. | health |

Newer models are far less visible than previous generation hearing aids. The BTE hearing aid is highly versatile, providing excellent treatment for most forms of hearing loss.
Smaller behind-the-ear hearing aids in which sound travels from the instrument through a small tube to the speaker in your ear canal, but it leaves the ear open -- so there isn't a 'plugged up' feeling some people experience with other hearing aids. Open Canal Mini-BTEs are best for mild to moderate high-frequency hearing loss where low-frequency hearing is still normal.
This is a discreet, comfortable design that is easy to fit. It sits inside the ear canal similar to the BTE. A great choice for those with mild to moderate hearing loss who are sensitive to having things in their ears.
Molded to fit deeply within your ear canal, CICs are the smallest and least visible types of hearing aid. Because they're sheltered within the ear, it helps cut down on wind noise. CICs can help improve mild to moderate hearing loss in adults.
Fitting directly into the external part of your ear, their size makes them visible, but it also makes them easier to insert and adjust. ITEs are most helpful for people with mild to severe hearing loss. To ensure you get a solution that is right for you, we also offer an industry-leading risk-free 75–day trial* as part of a comprehensive follow–up program that also includes free office visits for the duration of your warranty. It's our way to make sure your hearing aids work exactly as you'd like them to.
Fitting partially within your ear canal and barely visible, ITCs small size makes them nearly invisible, but adjusting them can be more difficult. Many of these models come with remote controls to make adjusting them easier. ITCs are used for adults with mild to moderately severe hearing loss.

There are numerous various types of Lasik operations now offered, from the original and well recorded treatment to Lasik procedures made with three dimensional wavefronts, or done totally with lasers. Each of these variations of the Lasik treatment must be gone over with the physician that is to carry out the operation.
Like any surgical treatment, Lasik does have the capacity for adverse effects.
Often reading the horror stories of the results of a Lasik procedure can hinder individuals from seriously considering such a choice. It is likewise true that the huge varieties of people who have a effective, hassle-free Lasik surgical treatment tend not to report a long and detailed story of their experience, unlike those that have experienced difficulty afterward.
It is excellent to understand exactly what the possible side impacts of the Lasik treatment are, and also the likelihood that one of these side effects will occur for a particular client. Similar to any medicine we take, each has a possible variety of adverse effects, however we normally presume that the probability of a major negative effects is little, and we take the medicine anyhow. This short article will hopefully put concerns of the prospective Lasik patient into point of view so that they can calmly and attentively ponder having a Lasik treatment carried out in the future.
More than one million Lasik treatments are done in the United States every year, inning accordance with the FDA. This arm of the nationwide federal government has collected the following stats for the see post most common adverse effects of the Lasik treatment. These data will likewise vary by the doctor carrying out the surgical treatment, so make certain to obtain as much info on the potential Lasik doctor as possible.
After Lasik surgical treatment, 1.7 percent of clients experience some glare or level of sensitivity to light after the operation. This varies by client, however this sensitivity is specifically noticeable when taking a look at a bright light, such as a streetlight when strolling at night, or other strong light and dark contrast. Another light related side effect is a halo like this around a light, and this occurs in 3.5 percent of Lasik patients.
The new, fixed vision can be noticed rapidly by some Lasik patients, in as low as a couple of hours after surgery. The majority of clients that have actually gone through the Lasik procedure discover the change is long-term within a couple of days. In 2.6 percent of clients that have had a Lasik treatment done, there is persistent visual fluctuation within a minimum of a part of their sphere of vision.
Lastly, some clients do not get a completely remedied sphere of vision after their Lasik treatment. This happens with a Click This Link small number of customers, and the FDA statistics are that only 3 percent of clients have this effect. In all or nearly all cases, the physician in charge will perform an additional Lasik treatment to improve this.
This detailing of the major long-term adverse effects of the Lasik procedure should put any personal horror stories into viewpoint. Notification that none of the percentages are above 3 percent, and this need to bring convenience to the majority of prospective Lasik clients. It must likewise inspire them to look thoroughly at the Lasik doctor's personal record.
There are numerous different types of Lasik operations now readily available, from the original and well recorded treatment to Lasik procedures done with three dimensional wavefronts, or done entirely with lasers. It is excellent to know exactly what the possible side impacts of the Lasik treatment are, and also the possibility that one of these side results will happen for a specific patient. A lot of patients that have gone through the Lasik treatment discover the modification is permanent within a couple of days. Some patients do not get a completely corrected sphere of vision after their Lasik treatment. | health |

Director of the MS in Data Science (MSDS) Program
Computer and Information Sciences Department
Dr. Zhao’s research focuses on machine learning (ML) – an essential branch of Data Science. Data Science draws heavily from empirical exploration of data to solve complex problems. However, the world around us constantly challenges practitioners with new information and previously unhandled exceptions. As a result, applying theoretical, off-the-shelf ML models often fares poorly in practice. These models’ failures typically arise from data’s incompleteness, contamination with errors, or violation of underlying assumptions. In her research, Dr. Zhao and her team strive to approach real-life problems from new perspectives that make them amenable to ML methods and leverage experts’ domain knowledge. These new methods creatively exploit unique circumstances associated with a given task to establish a sound theoretical footing and allow for more effective learning. The resulting new approaches can often be extended to other domains with similar learning needs. In the course of her work, Dr. Zhao has established robust, long-term collaborations with prestigious research institutions, including Harvard Medical School, NYU Langone Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, and Fordham researchers at the CIS, Psychology, and Chemistry departments.

Predicting Disease Course of Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the number one medical cause of neurological disability amongst young persons in the U.S., with an overall prevalence of 400,000. The majority of cases present with relapses involving neurological deficits such as vision blurring or loss, weakness, numbness, imbalance or cognitive deficits. In our research, we work closely with doctors from Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) in Boston, Massachusetts to predict the disability level of MS patients at the fifth year mark using their first two year's longitudinal data. Our clinical data are collected as part of the CLIMB (Comprehensive Longitudinal Investigation of Multiple Sclerosis at Brigham and Women’s Hospital) study at BWH. The CLIMB study is a large-scale, long-term study of patients with MS. It is designed to investigate the course of the disease in the current era of treatment. The main goals of the study are to identify predictors of future disease course when patients are at the beginning of their illness and determine the effects of treatment on disease progression and accumulation of disability.

Deep Learning for Detecting and Reducing Motion Artifacts in Brain MRI Images
Modern neuroimaging is central to the assessment of patients with epilepsy. However, in-scanner head motion degrades the quality of brain MRI and thereby reduces the utility of MRI for the detection of clinically relevant neuroanatomical abnormalities. This research aims to address the motion artifacts associated with brain MRI scans using the recent advances in computer vision. Working closely with doctors and researchers from NYU Langone’s Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, we develop deep learning models for detecting and reducing motion artifacts in brain MRI Scans.

Hospital Readmissions Analysis
Reducing unnecessary admissions and readmissions to acute care facilities has been a focus of healthcare quality improvement efforts. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s (AHRQ) Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) estimated that in 2011, there were approximately 3.3 million adult 30-day all-cause hospital readmissions in the United States. Avoidable admissions and readmissions not only cause patients prolonged illness and pain, but also burden the healthcare system with unnecessary costs. HCUP estimated that in 2011, 30-day adult all-cause readmissions were associated with about $41.3 billion in hospital costs. In our research, we collaborate with researchers from University of Florida and apply the state of the art machine learning techniques to predict individual 30-day readmission probabilities of soon-to-be discharged inpatients. In addition, we examine trends in length of stay, hospital charges, and in-hospital mortality associated with different causes, as well as identified patient-level risk factors associated with 30-day readmissions.

Educational Data Mining
Dr. Zhao is a co-director (with Dr. Weiss and Dr. Leeds from CIS) of Fordham’s Educational Data Mining Laboratory. Our research utilizes data mining and other analytical techniques to learn about student academic performance and the educational process. Our studies include descriptive data mining related to the sequencing and the relationships between courses and predictive data mining that predicts instructor effectiveness, future student performance, and suitable disciplines for a student to major in. Additionally, we are developing predictive models and a free software tool to combat systematic racism, gender bias, and cultural bias in academic letters of recommendation (LOR). To this end, we will leverage natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning methods to identify the language in LORs that may be associated with bias. The software tool will aid the recommendation writer by highlighting potential instances of bias and suggesting alternatives.

A Study of Ways of Coping, Stress, and School Adjustment for College Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a devastating loss of human life worldwide and extraordinary challenges to public health. University students have faced particular challenges during the pandemic. This research aims to leverage a proprietary dataset our team collected after the onset of the pandemic and develop machine learning models to predict college students’ ways of coping with stress, and school adjustment when facing unprecedented challenges. Because the COVID-19 outbreak was first reported in China, anti-Asian attitudes and rhetoric have increased exponentially both in the media and in daily life interactions. We further study racial/ethnic subgroups (i.e., Asian, non-Asian, and international) with customized predictive models and compare their coping strategies and stress levels.

Deep Learning for Statistical Arbitrage
This study explores the utility of deep learning (DL) approaches in statistical arbitrage under the “generalized pairs-trading” paradigm. Stock returns are regressed on a set of risk factors derived using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and the long-short memory (LSTM) structure is employed to forecast directions of idiosyncratic residuals. Daily market-neutral trades are constructed based on the predicted signals. We compare the results to the influential relative value model by Avellaneda and Lee on the universe of S&P 500 stocks.

Garcinia Cambogia is a fruit that looks like a small-sized pumpkin and is native to Indonesia. The fruit’s rind contains high amounts of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is the main ingredient in Garcinia Cambogia supplements. A series of clinical studies have shown that HCA can block fat storage and, therefore, aid in weight loss, among other benefits. In fact, HCA is believed to be able to double the rate of weight loss even without dieting.
Here are the rest of the known benefits of Garcinia Cambogia.
It prevents the storage of fat by inhibiting the production of the enzyme citrate lyase that is used by the body to convert carbohydrates into their storage form – fat. That means that your body will use up most of the carbohydrates you consume and you’ll end up with a leaner body. If you perform exercise as well, you’ll build muscle and your body will be able to burn calories much faster – thanks to increased metabolic rate. The result of HCA and muscle growth is increased weight loss.
HCA has been shown to have appetite suppressant properties. This comes as a result of increased serotonin levels in the brain, a hormone that affects good mood. Low serotonin levels lead to low moods which cause many people to binge eat. However, people in good moods tend to be more health conscious with food choices and, therefore, you’ll be in better position to maintain a healthy weight.
The other benefit is that the Garcinia Cambogia extract is an all-natural product. While this may not seem like an advantage at first, you should know that a supplement that is 100% pure Garcinia Cambogia contains no additives that may reduce the extract’s effectiveness. In addition, there are no known side effects of a 100% pure Garcinia Cambogia, so you can safely use it without worrying about undesirable effects.
It’s highly effective. In addition to the series of clinical studies that have demonstrated the effectiveness of Garcinia Cambogia, thousands of individual users have been raving about the supplement’s ‘miraculous’ effect on weight loss.
It is backed by scientific research. A number of clinical studies have been performed to verify the claims made about Garcinia Cambogia and almost all studies have proven that it has fat blocking properties that aid in weight loss. For this reason, many doctors have recommended it alongside an effective weight loss regiment and a healthy diet.
It is very affordable. Supplements containing Garcinia Cambogia extract are relatively affordable compared to many over-hyped and expensive formulas. That said, you should be on the lookout for inferior supplements manufactured in countries with lax controls on the manufacture of supplements.
These are the benefits of Garcinia Cambogia extract for weight loss. However, you should consult with your healthcare provider prior to using any supplements. Although there are no known side effects, you should stop taking the supplement if you experience any discomfort. | health |

Weight loss through Bariatric Surgery
Severely obese persons often cannot be helped with calorie-restricted diet and exercise even when supplemented with non-prescriptive weight loss drugs. Managing obesity can often be done with surgery which is considered the last resort of choice. This drastic solution is called bariatric surgery whose objective is to reduce stomach size and thereby reduce food intake.
The process involves either of two main procedures..
(1) Malabsorptive procedures: reducing stomach size while creating malabsorption by altering how the nourishment is achieved. This has become a rare procedure due to its inherent risks for inducing severe nutritional deficiency.
(2) Restrictive procedures: This involves simply reducing the size of the stomach and the most widely performed bariatric surgery among severely obese patients.
Who should undergo bariatric surgery?
As a last resort to weight loss, the U.S. National Institutes of Health suggests that obese people with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 suffering co-morbidities like diabetes or heart diseases, and those with BMI of 40 without diagnosed co-morbidities should strongly consider bariatric surgery. Recent medical research suggests that bariatric surgery could be most suitable for obese persons with a BMI of 35 to 40 without co-morbidities or a BMI of 30 to 35 diagnosed with co-morbidities. In addition, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases has indicated that bariatric surgery is most suitable for women who are at lest 80 lbs overweight and men who are at least 100 lbs overweight.
Obese persons suffering co-morbidities like diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea can be considered candidates for bariatric surgery. One who is seriously considering it should consult with his or her doctor for the surgical options and a full disclosure of its potential post-surgical complications.
How malabsorptive bariatric surgery works
Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD)
This is complex surgery where part of the stomach is resected to create a smaller pouch and where the distal part of the small intestine bypasses the jejunum and duodenum before being reconnected to the resected stomach pouch. BPD is now rarely performed mostly due to its high risk of complications such as gallstones and several nutritional deficiencies that, without supplementation, could lead to osteoporosis and anemia.
How restrictive bariatric surgery works
A smaller stomach pouch gets full faster, and a feeling of satiation sets in so you eat fewer food portions over a shorter period of time and you lose weight progressively. Restrictive bariatric surgery reduces the size of the stomach through laparoscopic tools is the most popular and often involves the following.
(1) Sleeve gastrectomy
The stomach is surgically reduced to around 15% of its former size and using surgical staples, or sutures or both, leaves the stomach looking like a banana-shaped tube and is irreversible. As the stomach size is reduced, the portion where hormones are produced to stimulate hunger (Ghrelin) is likewise removed and has been shows to be effecting moves patients with a BMI higher than 55. A majority of patients undergoing this surgical process can expect to lose about 30% to 50% of their excess body weight in 6 months to a year.
(2) Adjustable gastric banding
A silicone band that can be inflated with 4 to 12cc of saline solution is placed around the stomach. When inflated, it constricts the stomach to create a smaller stomach pouch at the top section, decreases the size of the passage between this pouch and the lower stomach and slows food passage between the two. Once food is digested in the upper stomach pouch, no further digestion takes place in the lower stomach and the digested simply passes to the intestines.
The resulting smaller stomach pouch holds about ½ to 1 cup of food while the entire stomach could hold 6 cups. As a reversible and adjustable process, you can expect a few visits back to the surgeon to adjust the band with the injection or suction of saline solution to achieve optimal constriction. The band is tightened or loosened so that hunger is best controlled but not too tight for digested food not to flow freely.
Obese people can expect to lose 33% to 50% of their excess weight after undergoing this procedure and can be achieved slower than with Gastric Bypass surgery over a 3-year period. In addition, gastric banding can be reversed once the obesity is corrected or when the proper BMI is achieved, if the patient so desires. .
(3) Gastric Bypass Surgery
The most popular form of gastric bypass surgery is the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass where a small stomach pouch is formed using a stapler device, and connected to the distal small intestine. The upper section of the small intestine is then re-connected to form a Y-shaped configuration. About 140,000 gastric bypass surgery has been done as of 2005 to make it the most widely used bariatric surgery. But its success has been largely due to the stringent post-surgery compliance to a prescribed diet and eating pattern.
Medical studies have shown that bariatric surgery can cause significant long-term weight loss efficacy, recovery from diabetes, improvement in cardiovascular risk factors, and halving statistical mortality rates reduced from 40% to 23%. In addition, the more popular forms of bariatric surgery have been known to lose about 40% to 50% of unwanted weight. That's because the smaller stomach resulting from the surgery makes you feel full faster every meal and thus, decreases your food cravings and consumption.
Complications and side effects
Complications from any kind of surgery are high and barbaric surgery complications are common. A study of 2522 insurance claims showed that about 22% suffered initial complications while 40% suffered complications within 6 months of surgery. Some of the more common complications include:
-Diarrhea and bloating after meals (gastric dumping syndrome), requiring medication or smaller meals: 20%
-Leaks at the surgical site (12%),
-Incisional hernia (7%),
-Surgical wound Infections (6%)
Mortality rate among patients with no known co-morbidities is small at 0.2%. Most of complications have been observed to be common among patients aged over 40. However, they were significantly reduced when bariatric surgery is performed by seasoned doctors or surgeons. A study on the end-point safety of bariatric surgery shows that mortality, serious complications, re-interventions and further hospitalization occurred in 1.0% of patients who underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, 4.8% in laparoscopic gastric bypass, and 7.8% in open gastric bypass. Gastric banding procedure has shown the least complication rate. But as with any surgery, band gastric surgery carries the same risk of wound infections and minor bleeding which can often be treated with antibiotics.
If you are obese or overweight with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or higher, undergoing restrictive bariatric surgical procedure is generally safe when performed by experienced surgeons or healthcare professionals specializing in the process. In February 2011, the FDA reduced the recommended BMI threshold to 30 for those considering the process. This opened up the surgical weight loss solution even to those with moderate obesity. If you are even moderately obese and have been going through diet and exercise regimens for years with little or no success, a bariatric surgery such as gastric banding or gastric bypass surgery can be your most effective and long lasting weight management solution. | health |

- What is this article intended to do?
- What is the University doing about it?
- What can you do to help?
- What can the supervisor do?
- What to do if you are approached about the scent product you are wearing
What is the issue?
There has been increasing awareness at the University that exposure to perfumes and other scented products can trigger serious health reactions in individuals with asthma, allergies, migraines, or chemical sensitivities.
Fragrances are found in a wide range of products. Common scented products include perfume, cologne, aftershave, deodorant, soap, shampoo, hairspray, bodyspray, makeup and powders. Examples of other products with added scents include air fresheners, fabric softeners, laundry detergents, cleaners, carpet deodorizers, facial tissues, and candles.
We generally think that it is a personal choice to use fragrances; however, fragrance chemicals are by their very nature shared. The chemicals vapourize into the air and are easily inhaled by those around us. Today’s scented products are made up of a complex mixture of chemicals, many of which are synthetic compounds derived from petroleum products. These fragrance chemicals, classified as volatile organic compounds, can contribute to indoor air quality problems and cause health problems.
Susceptible individuals can experience a variety of symptoms, including headache, sore throat, runny nose, sinus congestion, wheezing, shortness of breath, dizziness, anxiety, anger, nausea, fatigue, mental confusion and an inability to concentrate. Some of these fragrance chemicals are known to be skin sensitizers. Some are also respiratory tract irritants, and can trigger asthma and breathing difficulties. Asthmatics commonly cite fragrances as initiating or exacerbating their asthma. Fragrances are also implicated in vascular changes that can trigger migraines in susceptible individuals. Individuals with chemical sensitivities can experience symptoms at very low levels in the air, far below those known to cause harmful effects in the general population.
Although the mechanisms by which fragrance chemicals act to produce symptoms are not yet understood, the impact on all those affected can be quite severe, resulting in great difficulty in work and study activities.
What is this article intended to do?
Firstly, this information article is intended to increase the awareness within the University community about the potential impact of fragrance chemicals on the health, wellbeing, productivity and lifestyle of those affected.
Secondly, in order to protect those individuals with fragrance sensitivities and to possibly prevent others from developing such sensitivities, the University is asking for voluntary cooperation towards a scent-reduced environment. Faculty, staff, students and visitors are strongly encouraged to avoid or reduce the use of fragranced products, and to replace them with unscented alternatives.
We recognize that the issue is complex and controversial to some. We recognize the personal right of individuals to use scented products. We believe, however, that this must be balanced with the adverse health effects and extreme discomfort that can be suffered by fragrance-sensitive individuals.
This is not an issue about an individual disliking the smell of a particular perfume and getting what he/she wants in the workplace. This is not a ban on scented products. This is a request to voluntarily refrain from chemical-based scented products.
What is the University doing about it?
Recognizing that chemicals, including fragrance ’ chemicals, can negatively impact on indoor air quality, the University will strive to:
Promote the reduction of unnecessary use of chemicals, including fragrance chemicals.
Promote the use of environmentally-friendly and least harmful products in laboratories, cleaning materials, and building materials.
Target harmful chemicals and contaminants and implement controls to effectively prevent or minimize their release into the general air as a result of building, maintenance, custodial, research and teaching activities.
Support the best possible air quality practicably attainable, by means of proper ventilation, peak performance and proper maintenance of building mechanical ventilation systems, in keeping with the University’s Indoor Air Quality Standard.
Develop proper information and training to promote the above to the University community.
What can you do to help?
Be considerate of those who are sensitive to fragrance chemicals. Avoid using scented products; instead, use unscented alternatives.
If you do use scented products, use them sparingly. A general guideline for scented products is that the scent should not be detectable more than an arm’s length away from you. Do not apply scented products in a public area.
Be an informed customer. Read the product label. A product labelled as "fragrance-free" is likely to be free of fragrance chemicals. A product labelled as "scent-free" or "unscented" may mean that no fragrance chemicals have been added to the product, or it may be that a masking agent has been added to disguise the smell of some of the ingredients. These terms are not regulated, so use your nose or ask the store to check the product for fragrances.
Avoid using products (e.g. air fresheners or potpourris) that give off chemical-based scents in your work area.
Avoid using laundry products or cleaning agents that are scented. Air out drycleaned clothing before wearing.
What can you do if you are sensitive to fragrance chemicals?
If you feel you can do so comfortably, approach the scented individual and let him/her know how you react to fragrances. Be specific about the types of physical reactions you have (e.g. asthma attacks, migraines, shortness of breath). Talk to the individual in a cordial and respectful manner. Ask for their understanding and cooperation. Many people are unaware of the potential health effects of fragrance chemicals.
Inform your supervisor of your sensitivities, your symptoms, and the types of exposures that improve or worsen these symptoms. Ask your supervisor to assist in finding a solution to your situation. You may ask your supervisor to discuss this matter with the individual involved if you do not feel comfortable doing so, or if the individual has done nothing after you have advised him/her of your situation.
- Consult with your physician about your symptoms.
- Consult the resources listed in this brochure for further information or assistance.
If an individual in your work area is adversely affected by scented products:
- Listen to the person with respect and civility.
- Clarify the issue. Ask the individual to describe their health effects, the factors that make the problem better or worse, and the actions they are taking to deal with it.
- Investigate the issue and use good judgement and consideration to provide a fair, uniform and timely resolution.
- Discuss the issue with your staff in an open and non-threatening manner. Inform them of the health concerns that have arisen as a result of the use of scented products in the workplace. You may- choose to have this discussion with an individual or a group of employees, whichever is appropriate to the situation.
- Request your staffs cooperation and understanding to voluntarily avoid the use of scented products in the area. Discuss the benefits of a scent-free work area.
- Implement measures to reasonably accommodate those who are affected by scented products. Where employees are severely limited due to exposure to scented products, you may need to establish a fragrance-free zone. For meetings held in enclosed rooms, you may need to send out notices to attendees informing them of the scent-free nature of the meeting.
- Consult with the building engineer regarding the adequacy of ventilation in the area.
- Distribute this information and display the "We Share the Air" poster.
- Refer those issues which cannot be resolved locally to the Department Head, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, the local joint health and safety committee and/or Human Resources.
What should you do if you’re approached about the scented product you’re wearing?
If an individual or your supervisor informs you that the fragranced products that you use or wear are a problem and requests that you avoid using them, you may feel puzzled, hurt, annoyed, defensive or even insulted by the request.
Understand that it is not about you as a person or about your choice of fragrance, but it is about the chemicals in the fragranced product. Do not discount the issue as ridiculous and unreasonable.
Discuss the issue openly. Ask questions about the health impact on the person, the types of symptoms experienced, the factors which make the person’s symptoms better or worse (e.g. fragrance type, amount used).
Empathize with the individual. Work with cooperation and understanding towards a satisfactory resolution.

In fact, according to SocialMediaToday, there were 2.8 billion active social media users worldwide as of January 2017. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter are the most popular platforms. So how has the dramatic rise of social media over the past five years impacted healthcare, both positively and negatively? Are providers, medical distributors, surgical suppliers and more embracing social media?
Social media seems to have affected the healthcare sector just as much as any other business sector. In fact, several of the largest healthcare companies in the U.S. regularly use social media, including UnitedHealth Group, CVS, and AmerisourceBergen.
Though rarely used for diagnostic purposes, these platforms do allow doctors to more easily share and compare information, trends, results, and more. Responsible use of social media can improve physician-patient interactions and provide assistance with appointments and referrals. If they think outside the box, doctors can help motivate patients to live a healthier lifestyle. Platforms such as Twitter and YouTube are helpful in providing accurate information—how many patients might be interested in information regarding vaccines or other hotly debated topics?
Organizations from hospitals to distributors can use social media to communicate in time of crisis on topics like operational and ER status and product availability. For example, medical specialties distributors could use social media platforms to keep customers updated on a potential product shortage, or the availability of specific supplies important to our customers such as surgical sutures and other wound care products. | health |

Slough off those dead skin cells using a natural, gentle exfoliant like almond meal and honey. Almonds are rich in skin-friendly vitamins like A, B1, B2, B6 and E. When almonds are ground into meal, they also retain a lot of the natural oils. Mix two tablespoons of almond meal with one tablespoon of honey. Smooth onto your skin and leave for 5 or 10 minutes. Then rub it in thoroughly, and wash off gently. Do this once a week for smooth, vibrant skin.

Adolescent Self Harm
Through therapy, I match attuned connection and care, a range of adaptive counselling strategies, and best practices from developmental psychology and neuroscience, to wherever you are in your healing process. From there I will help you figure out what works best for you as we support your next steps for growth and change.
My counselling integrates skills and approaches from Trauma Informed Practice, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, holistic wellness principles, and my enthusiasm for life and learning. The therapeutic modalities I work with are evidence based, and backed by an understanding of human growth and development, with researched efficacy across many client bases and mental health concerns. My training and experience in these therapeutic tools, combined with your self-understanding and innate self-leadership capacity, will help us cultivate new, strength based insights and strategies for you to grow through even your most persistent and painful struggles.
I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Literature, with a focus on neuroscience and development at the University of Toronto. I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology from Simon Fraser University. I have research and counselling expertise on youth self-harm recovery, which was the focus of my Masters Thesis.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #16175) with the B.C. Association of Clinical Counsellors and am a Certified TeleMental Health Provider (postgrad). I have completed additional trainings in Developmental Trauma Treatment with CTRC (Complex Trauma Resources Centre) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy with Janina Fisher at PESI. I hold a continuing education certification in Addiction Care and Treatment from UBC’s eCPD Faculty of Medicine.
I am a lifelong learner, and am committed to offering the most up to date basis of practice, grounded in research and skillful training for my clients. My upcoming trainings include Re-wiring the Traumatized Brain with Bessel Van der Kolk at NICABM and Foundations of Narrative Therapy with the Vancouver School for Narrative Therapy.
I have nearly half decade of professional experience, and have successfully treated upwards of 300 clients at this point in my career. I have worked with individuals and groups with both high-risk concerns as well as clients looking to manage moderate mental health concerns for more successful daily living. I’m experienced in both brief-intentional and long-term counselling approaches, grounded in clinical and community work and training across British Columbia. In addition to my e-counselling services, I currently work for a community counselling agency in B.C.’s Lower Mainland, and provide low barrier mental health and substance use counselling to youth, families and adults from many diasporas and walks of life. | health |
