What if the key to revolutionizing healthcare for Latinas isn't in a lab, but in our abuela's kitchen? As founder and host of Encuentras Your Voice Podcast, an Encuentras Media, LLC flagship platform for Latina visionaries, change makers, and leaders to share their journeys, I'm struck by the profound connections in their experiences. Monica Islas, ATC, founder of Body Wellness, LLC, shared how her father suffered irreversible damage from medications prescribed by a doctor. This wasn't a struggle with pain management - it was a stark example of how conventional medical practices can sometimes fail our community. Cecilia Romo 's story echoed this experience. Her mother faced severe complications from prescribed pain medications, a situation so dire that Cecilia donated her own kidney to save her mother's life. These aren't isolated incidents. They represent a pattern that's often overlooked in mainstream healthcare discussions. What's inspiring is how these women responded. Monica turned to Curandera, our ancestral healing practices, using natural herbs, remedies, and body movements. Cecilia's compassion and strength led her to take extraordinary measures for her mother's health. Their stories highlight a crucial point: our cultural knowledge isn't just tradition - it's a powerful tool for healing and resilience in today's world. As Latinas, we often put our health last, pushing ourselves to extremes. But these visionaries show us a different path - one that honors our heritage and prioritizes our wellbeing. This is why diversity in healthcare, business, and every sector is critical. It's not about translation or assimilation. It's about bringing our unique perspectives and ancestral wisdom to the table to create better solutions for everyone. Through Encuentras Your Voice Podcast, we're not just sharing stories. We're building a network of empowered Latinas, ready to lead and innovate with the strength of our cultura behind us. I invite you to join us in this movement. Let's celebrate our heritage, challenge the status quo, and create a future where our wisdom is recognized and valued. #LatinaLeadership #CulturalWisdom #HealthcareInnovation #DiversityInAction

I couldn't agree more with your vision Dr. Mark Hyman, MD The idea of becoming the CEO of your own health resonates deeply with me, because when we take ownership of our well-being, everything changes. In my own journey, I’ve seen firsthand how proactive, personalized healthcare can transform lives. The shift from reactive to preventive care isn’t just necessary, it’s the future. Hyman Health is paving the way, and I’m all in for conversations that push these ideas forward. Who else is thinking about the future of healthcare like this? #HealthLeadership #FunctionalMedicine #RootCauseHealing #FutureOfHealthcare
Why I Started Hyman Health: Empowering You to Become the CEO of Your Own Health In a world where chronic disease rates are skyrocketing, and our healthcare system often focuses more on managing symptoms than addressing root causes, I knew something had to change. That’s why I started Hyman Health, a functional medicine ecosystem designed to empower you to take charge of your health and transform your life. For decades, I’ve worked on the frontlines of health and wellness, advocating for food as medicine, teaching about the power of lifestyle change, and using functional medicine to help thousands of patients heal from the inside out. But one thing became clear: we need a new system—one that doesn’t just treat disease but helps people truly thrive. The Vision Behind Hyman Health Hyman Health was born from a simple yet revolutionary idea: you are your best health advocate. When equipped with the right tools, knowledge, and support, you can become the CEO of your own health and unlock your body’s incredible ability to heal and optimize itself. But here’s the challenge: the current healthcare system isn’t set up to help you take control. It’s fragmented, reactive, and often leaves people feeling powerless. Hyman Health is here to change that. It’s more than a healthcare platform—it’s an ecosystem built around you and designed to help you achieve vibrant health, longevity, and vitality. Hyman Health is about more than just individual transformation—it’s about creating a ripple effect. When you become the CEO of your health, you inspire those around you. Families become healthier, communities thrive, and together, we can shift the trajectory of healthcare toward a system that prioritizes prevention, wellness, and true healing. I believe that everyone deserves to live their healthiest, fullest life. Through Hyman Health, I’m committed to helping you not just avoid disease but create a life full of energy, vitality, and purpose. Let’s change the future of health—together. 💪🌱 Dr. Mark Hyman Founder, Hyman Health #FunctionalMedicine #FoodIsMedicine #RootCauseHealing #Empowerment #HealthCEO

Have you heard these terms before--Lifespan and Healthspan? It is amazing how medicine today is extending our time on earth. A study published recently indicates that life expectancy will make dramatic increases in the next ten years due to advances in technology. In Dr. Peter Attia’s book, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, (https://lnkd.in/gDqQ8Dqe) he introduces two key terms that are sticking with us as we enter the new year: "Lifespan" and"Healthspan." Lifespan is the quantity of life - how much TIME ⏰ we have to live, while Healthspan is the QUALITY of our life, what we get to experience while we are living. 💪 Because our muscle mass naturally declines as we age, if we want to be able to get on the floor and play with our grandchildren at age 80, Peter says that we need to be able to sit down and stand up from the floor (𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑢𝑟 ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠) *30 times* at age 50 to have the strength and flexibility thirty years later. 🧘♂️ Have you thought about what you want to be able to do or what matters to you in your second half of life? How are you spending your time today to prepare for it? Check out Outlive some science and inspiration for increasing your healthspan! #Healthspan #Longevity #Outlive #HealthyAging #WellBeing

🌍 Revolutionizing Healthcare: The Celestial Serenity Pods 🌍 I am excited to present a transformative vision for healthcare: the #CelestialSerenityPods – a groundbreaking solution designed to harness the power of holistic, integrative treatments for a multitude of health challenges. As a nurse practitioner deeply committed to enhancing human wellness, I’ve developed these pods with the goal of not only improving individual health outcomes but also addressing the staggering $7 trillion price tag that chronic diseases impose on global healthcare systems. The current landscape of healthcare is riddled with challenges: - Chronic illnesses account for 70% of healthcare costs, affecting millions worldwide. - Premature infants suffering from conditions like necrotizing enterocolitis require innovative solutions to increase their chances of survival. (in memory of Karson) 👼🏾 - Mental health issues, exacerbated by lifestyle and environmental stressors, continue to rise, impacting productivity and overall quality of life. The capabilities imbued in these pods provide solutions that can potentially: - Stimulate #DNArepair and regeneration, paving the way for innovative treatments for age-related degeneration. - Enhance tissue and organ restoration, opening doors for life-saving medical technology and #regenerativemedicine. - Address mental health, employing sound therapy and holistic modalities to effectively reduce stress and anxiety. - Promote #communalhealing while fostering social connections through nature-based therapies, crucial for emotional balance and well-being. My vision is to partner with #healthcareorganizations, #researchinstitutions, and #visionaryinvestors who share a commitment to transforming health and wellness. By embracing these innovative concepts, we can eradicate preventable diseases, enhance individual care, and drive significant cost savings in healthcare delivery. If you are an investor, researcher, healthcare leader, or organization looking to be part of this transformative journey, I invite you to reach out. Let’s collaborate to bring the Celestial Serenity Pods to life and ultimately help communities thrive. Together, we can reshape the future of healthcare for generations to come. 🔗 #CelestialSerenityPods #HealthcareInnovation #HolisticHealth #InvestInWellness #TransformativeMedicine #ChronicIllness #MentalHealth #IntegrativeHealthcare #HealthcareSolutions #WellnessRevolution #Investors #HealthcareLeadership #AIgeneratedArt #TheAIWhisperer #Inventor #HonoraryPhD 🕵🏽♀️👩🏾🔬👩🏽⚕️

What a whirlwind of a year! We would like to thank the therapists that contributed to bringing natural and complementary therapies to life at The Hague Natural Health Centre in 2024. It's not easy working in natural and complementary therapy because it takes patience and time to get to the cause of illness. Occasionally there are quick fixes but more often, it takes time to get through the layers of suppression. One of our goals at the Health Centre is to bring various practitioners together, collaborating under one roof in order to contribute to a healthier society. The modalities continue to change as we adapt and grow, learning what works and where to improve. To celebrate one year of the centre's opening, we are offering the community a chance to experience our therapies on January 18, 2025 at an anniversary price of €35 for two 30 minute sessions. See our website for details and registration: https://lnkd.in/gkPWfD5M Additionally, we have several group sessions that offer people to start 2025 on a healthier note. The group sessions include: - Pilgrim Circle - an opportunity to reflect and regroup - Harnessing the Inner Critic - redirecting the critic to a more positive outlook - Comforting Winter Wellness - tips on nourishing your body in winter If you've ever wondered about natural therapies - now is your chance to try something new in 2025 at a rare low price. We hope to see you there. #Healthiersociety hashtag #2025health hashtag #naturalmedicine #complementarymedicine, #energymedicine

Happy International Men's Day from the Praxis Center! Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of men worldwide. Men's health is vital, and there are key areas we must focus on to ensure they live their healthiest lives, especially in rural communities where access to healthcare can be limited. Key Health Areas for Men: 1. Mental Health: Mental well-being is often overlooked, but it's just as important as physical health. Don't hesitate to seek support. 2. Heart Health: Regular checkups, exercise, and a balanced diet can significantly reduce heart disease risks. 3. Preventative Care: Routine screenings for prostate, colon, and other cancers can save lives. 4. Physical Activity: Staying active helps manage weight, boost energy, and reduce chronic illness. Challenges Rural Men Face: - Limited access to healthcare facilities and professionals. - Isolation and reduced mental health resources. - Lack of preventive care services. Tips for Living Healthier: 💪 Stay active—whether it’s walking, hiking, or working on the farm. 🍎 Eat a balanced diet, rich in whole foods and nutrients. 🧠 Prioritize mental health—talk to someone, seek professional support when needed. 🩺 Get regular checkups and screenings to stay on top of your health. Let’s continue to raise awareness and support men in every community to live their healthiest lives. 💙 #InternationalMensDay #MensHealth #RuralHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #HealthyLiving #PreventiveCare #PraxisCenter #StrongerTogether #RuralHealth #Healthcare #Simulation

At Companion Health, we believe true health transformation takes time, dedication, and personalized care. Today, we're honored to share a remarkable 3-year journey that exemplifies the power of our concierge functional medicine approach. When a local business leader first joined our practice, he was like many executives we see - brilliantly successful at running his 250-person company, but his health was telling a different story. A recent heart catheterization, multiple medications, and constant stress had become his norm. Over 3+ years of dedicated partnership, we witnessed a transformation that reinforces why we chose the concierge model: 81 pounds released sustainably Blood pressure transformed from 130/85 to 120/74 Inflammation markers reduced by 63% Medications decreased from 7 to 3 Evolution from no exercise to daily 60-minute workouts The beauty of our concierge model? Time. Time to dig deeper. Time to understand the subtle interconnections between symptoms. Time to support real, lasting change. Today, this member of our practice isn't just managing his health - he's thriving. He's rediscovered his energy, optimized his sleep, and found a new balance between leading his company and leading a healthy life. This is what's possible with comprehensive, unhurried functional medicine care. When you have a medical team fully dedicated to your journey, transformation isn't just possible - it's probable. Are you ready to experience the difference of concierge functional medicine? We welcome you to connect with us about becoming a member of our practice. https://lnkd.in/enqXDdfT #ConciergeMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #ExecutiveHealth #WellnessJourney
