Matthew Robinson, a college professor, came to the Aviv Medical Program feeling helpless and exhausted. Aviv was his last chance after suffering for several years with symptoms from long COVID, ME/CFS and POTS. Here is what he had to say about his experience in the Aviv Medical Program. "Aviv is the site of my medical miracle. It was truly my last hope of getting better after 4 years suffering.... I got all the way better during my treatment at Aviv. At Aviv, you will experience a caring team of experts in medicine, nursing, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, neuropsychology, exercise physiology, and nutrition who will create a care plan individualized for you based on your needs and abilities. My treatment lasted three months and included 60 "dives" in the hyperbaric oxygen suite, exercise (weight training and cardio), cognitive training, nutritional intervention, and lots of rest. When you join Aviv, you become part of a family for the rest of your life. Everyone at Aviv from the front desk to the back of house knows your name and asks about how you're doing on a daily basis. Going to Aviv on a daily basis and spending time there is very enjoyable, even when you're there for medical help, as I was. My experience at Aviv was truly remarkable. Though expensive, it turned out to be the best money I ever spent, for the treatment I received at Aviv healed me beyond my expectations and gave me life back. I recommend Aviv to everyone, whether you are considering going for healthy aging or, like me, you need medical help for a serious condition (a list of conditions they treat is in their website). 5 stars only because I can't give it 10!" Matthew has even written and published a book about his struggles with long COVID, ME/CFS and POTS and included a chapter about his time at Aviv: https://ow.ly/nJj550SuT5n. #AvivClinics #LongCOVIDRecovery #Professor #LongCOVID

Certified Hyperbaric Specialist | Clinical Hyperbaric Oxygen Advocate for Medical and Elective Needs
It's high time we stopped referring to the proper administration of therapeutic oxygen as a "MIRACLE." The benefits are well-established and extensively documented. Calling it a miracle undermines its credibility and hinders its growth and adoption. The FDA has approved insurance coverage for 14 conditions in the U.S., and hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been proven effective for countless other conditions as well. We’re not living in the Middle Ages, where science was a miracle. Let's embrace the therapeutic use of oxygen to enhance the quality of life for our citizens, beyond just the Medicare-approved $2000 per treatment. Let's also clear up a common misconception: medical-grade HBOT is not the same as mild hyperbaric treatments. Physicians and chiropractors practicing mild hyperbaric therapy should face serious scrutiny—perhaps even having their licenses reconsidered. The public deserves accurate information and effective treatments, not diluted versions that don't meet medical standards. Why is it that companies from Israel are setting up shop here, particularly in The Villages, and billing our taxpayers $43 million over the past four years while we’re served pressurized air useful at treating acute altitude sickness? It's time we take a breath, quite literally, and start utilizing this proven therapy more broadly and efficiently here at home. Let's stop holding our breath and start harnessing the full potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy! #HyperbaricOxygenTherapy #HBOT #MedicalInnovation #HealthCareRevolution #OxygenTherapy #MedicalGradeHBOT #ScienceAndHealth #PatientCare #HealthcareQuality #LinkedInCommunity

🧠💊 Treating Obesity: A Neuroscientific Approach 💊🧠 Understanding the complex biology behind obesity is crucial for effective treatment. Recent research sheds light on the genetic factors at play, challenging conventional notions about weight regulation. Geneticists and neuroscientists are delving deep into the genetics of thinness and obesity, unraveling the mysteries of why some individuals remain thin despite environmental factors like easy access to high-calorie foods. Studies have shown that individuals with different genetic codes can respond differently to the same diet, highlighting the role of genetics in weight regulation. But it's not just about what we eat; it's about how our bodies process and respond to food. In my practice, I emphasize a neuroscience-based approach to obesity treatment. By targeting specific neurochemicals in the brain associated with hunger and satiety, we aim to rebalance the body's regulatory systems and curb overeating tendencies. Just as medications are used to treat addiction or depression by altering brain chemistry, we're exploring similar avenues for obesity management. Hormone blockers and other targeted treatments offer promising avenues for those struggling with weight management. Listen to Episode 4 of Ditch The Lab Coat podcast: https://lnkd.in/dYNjpAKs It's time to shift the conversation away from blame and shame and towards understanding and effective solutions. Let's work together to address obesity from a neuroscientific perspective and pave the way for healthier futures. #ObesityTreatment #Neuroscience #Healthcare #Genetics #WeightManagement 💪🧠🥦

🧠🌱 Navigating the Neurohormonal Landscape of Obesity: Insights & Hope Diving deep into the science behind obesity reveals a complex interplay of genetics, neurochemistry, and societal attitudes. Yet, amidst the challenges, there's hope on the horizon. Host Dr. Mark Bonta had an enlightening conversation with Dr. Sean Wharton on Episode 4 of the Ditch The Lab Coat podcast, where they delved into the cutting-edge research and compassionate approach to tackling obesity. From understanding the role of hormones like ghrelin in driving hunger to developing innovative treatments like GLP-1 agonists, the field of obesity medicine is rapidly evolving. Bariatric surgery offers another avenue, reshaping the landscape of weight management by targeting neurochemical pathways. But it's not just about the science—it's about shifting societal attitudes towards obesity. Stigma and bias only exacerbate the problem, leading to internalized shame and hindering progress. As parents and caregivers, it's crucial to foster a culture of love, acceptance, and self-compassion, regardless of weight. 🔗 Listen to the episode for an in-depth discussion with Obesity expert and Internist, Dr. Sean Wharton: https://lnkd.in/dYNjpAKs In our quest for solutions, let's embrace a holistic approach that combines cutting-edge science with empathy and understanding. By reframing the conversation and empowering individuals to take charge of their health, we can pave the way for a brighter, healthier future. Together, let's change the narrative around obesity and build a world where everyone can thrive. #ObesityAwareness #Neuroscience #HealthEquity #Empowerment #Hope

Leg sjukgymnast. Specialistsjukgymnast inom neurologi, Master's degree medicine Linköpings University, ENT University hospital Linköping. Lärare Linköpings Universitet. Ordförande SNOF.
How to explain PPPD - How I describe symptoms to patients ✅ I start by standing on the floor in front of the patient ✅ From this position, I start to challenge my balance. I start wobbling a bit, I put my feet close together and I stand on one leg ✅ I then ask what the patient thinks would happen to my balance if I did the same thing but stood on a table ✅ The patient usually responds “...you will probably experience that your balance has deteriorated” ✅ But what have I changed from standing on the floor? My vestibular system does not know that I am standing on a table and the surface is the same for my feet. ✅ I have assessed the situation differently and in this case my brain "alarms" when it sees a potential threat (the height) ✅ This means that sensory information from my feet and my vestibular system from my ear can work perfectly but I can still experience symptoms of unsteadiness ✅ What I experience when I stand on the table are similar symptoms that you can experience on the ground. This means your brain sends "alarm signals" in situations that are not a real threat. You can say that the brain is temporarily "stuck" in a high-risk behavior. ✅ It is also in this way that the patient can explain his symptoms when he gets home so that relatives can understand the symptoms better. "The discomfort that you can experience at a high altitude is what I can feel when I stand on the ground” ✅ "The stand-on-a-table-explanation” can facilitate understanding of the symptoms for some patients suffering from PPPD.

Let's talk habits! Behavioural changes don't happen overnight, however, a decision to change old habits, might! Simply planting a small seed could lead to a 180° change in someone's lifestyle. At Perioperative Medicine University Hospital Southampton, we take pride in our holistic approach to patient care which is second to none. During their journey with us, regardless of the nature of the patient's appointment (CPET, Perioperative Anaemia, Shared Decision Making/High Risk Clinic etc), our team uses Early Screening tools to assess overall fitness to enable healthy conversations. Recently, I have been supporting our IV Iron clinic, and, in two days, with just a simple conversation to explore lifestyle choices, I have positively influenced: -A patient to cut down alcohol intake before surgery (reported drinking 1 bottle of wine/day since retirement, over 30 years ago). -A patient to engage in smoking cessation programme. (reports smoking all his life, 20 cigarettes/day) -A patient who is uncertain about proceeding with surgery or going down the route of radiotherapy, to increase their activity levels to prepare for either of the options as exercise has proven effective and positive to cope with surgery but also with chemo/radiotherapy, decreasing the chances of deconditioning. (All of these interventions will be followed up and the patients appropriately supported through this process). Holistic approach includes education and health promotion. Behavioural change takes someone to plant the seed, to question the habit. Most of the time, the patients are open to listening, open to suggestions and most certainly, open to be educated on the importance of their habits and its impact in their health. Help your patients make the right choice. Educate them! 💪🏼🧗♂️🏌♀️🏊♂️🏋♀️🤸🏼♀️🚴♀️🏃♀️⚠️🚭🍺🥃🍷 #Prehabilitation #UHS #PerioperativeMedicine #Perioperativeanaemia

This is the 2nd most popular topic I am having discussions about with health professionals right now. (The first is lifestyle medicine to improve outcomes and contain costs around GLP-1 meds). Lifestyle medicine and health coaching has always, and still does, struggle in the world of reimbursement and insurance. Value based care is one way it can happen. We will see Value based care plans like Wellvana continue to grow as the baby boomers continue to retire - it’s the payers way of lowering cost. Placing it back on the provider or end user be responsible. I hope it works. It can. 1. Group programs should be made available to individuals enrolled in these contracts. 2. If a patient goes to the ER one time or is on more than 2 medications for any chronic illnesses in any given year, they should be assigned a health coach. Looking forward to hearing more at #lm2023 American College of Lifestyle Medicine Padmaja Patel Terra Health Coaching
🥗 Our physicians can’t expect much if they just tell patients to eat better, exercise and get more sleep. So much of value-based care requires battling chronic disease and changing the behavior of patients, which is why Lifestyle Medicine and VBC make a dynamic duo. Wellvana is proud to sponsor #LM2023 in Denver next week. Our founders are big believers in lifestyle medicine, and so are we. Patients and physicians both win when we… 🩺 Focus first on patient-centered preventive medicine. 💊 Avoid the use of pills and procedures when possible. 😫 Battle burnout through improved professional satisfaction. The future is moving from hospitals to primary care. And primary care gets a shot in the arm (pun intended) when incorporating the six pillars of lifestyle medicine. Physicians certified through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine literally write prescriptions that address nutrition, physical activity, stress, risky substances, sleep and social connection. It changes the clinician mindset completely. As Wellvana medical director and ACLM president-elect Padmaja Patel says, “my first question for a patient now is: Do you cook, or do you eat out?” This kind of focus on behavior modification is catching on. We’re told the LM conference is bigger than ever. You'll get a big Wellvana welcome at our booth and have a real talk about what value-based care looks like in practice. Or visit our ACLM page to understand why Wellvana’s approach to value-based care and lifestyle medicine are a powerful pair. https://wellvana.com/aclm Coming to LM2023? Connect with our team on the ground in Denver: Mike Jobe, Ehmer Hassan, Mark Montoney MD, MBA, Chris Marconcini, Carrie Moore, Devin Carty.

This study shows that during the Early Intensive Neurorehabilitation program, a large percentage of people with PDOC regain at least a minimal conscious state or even consciousness. These outcomes and the frequent medical complications in this group suggest that intensive specialized care should be offered to all people with PDOC. The findings of this study may improve the medical care/management of people with PDOC and might help health professionals to inform the families of people with PDOC about the short-term prognosis of PDOC. Future research into long-term outcomes, quality of life and cost-effectiveness is necessary for further improvement of care/rehabilitation following PDOC and is on the way, Danielle Driessen Cecile U.
