?? An article I read recently shed light on Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANDAS), a disorder that can strike young children with shocking speed and intensity. It was moving to see how doctors are uniting to find a cure for this challenging condition. PANDAS can transform the lives of children as young as three, causing them and their families immense distress. But the dedication of these medical professionals gives us all hope. They are working hard to better understand this disorder and develop effective treatments. Let's rally behind these doctors and support their efforts to bring relief to families affected by PANDAS. This is a call to action for more awareness, research, and compassion. Together, we can make a difference. ?? #PANDAS #HealthcareHeroes #SupportResearch #ChildhoodHealth https://lnkd.in/didEMnpM

Inspirational! Well worth a read! So sad to learn that 3 quarters of people diagnosed with MS are women between the ages of 20 and 40. We need to find a cure! DM me if you want to learn how you can help people just like Emily. #msresearch

R U OKAY DAY : 12 th September - For ages I could never understand, Why we keep asking 'Are You Ok' , everyday. If someone is not ok, he/ she will tell you on its own..so why worry and ask in such words ? Over the journey of life, when I lived day by day on hope amid uncertainty of health.. I realised that, in the whirlwind of life, we often forget to pause and truly see those around us—the people we love, the ones we care about. Just think,when was the last time you asked, "Are you okay?" Not as a formality, but with genuine concern and from heart . Too often, the answer is defensive or dismissive: "Do I look like something's wrong?" But deep down, it's not about appearances. It's about feeling heard, valued, and supported. In a world where emotional insecurity and isolation are on the rise, we need to break through the walls. We need to care enough to ask, even when it feels uncomfortable. Because sometimes, a simple question can open the door to healing, connection, and understanding. So today, ask someone you love, "Are you okay?" It’s not just a question—it’s a lifeline, a reminder that you are there, that they matter, and that in this fast-paced world, we can still find time to care. Let’s nurture our well-being and the well-being of those around us, and have one heartfelt conversation at a time. Best Wishes DRG Pathlab

I'll be teaching this class at Wild Willow Farms on Sept 28th. This workshop will go over the necessary food, lifestyle and healthy habits to maintain a healthy brain. Neuro-degenerative diseases impact 1 in 3 people worldwide at the moment and the numbers are supposed to double for those ages 65 and up over the next 30 years. What we do before age 40 matters more in how to prevent and slow down this cognitive decline. Come join us to learn about this, and foods to get your day started to increase mood, cognitive functioning, memory and more for you or your children. https://lnkd.in/gfHFV5fv

Day 16: Reflections University of Notre Dame students, Jamie and Kallie, are raising awareness of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) as part of the Patient Advocacy Initiative program. Jamie and Kallie interviewed Francie Fitzegerald, a member of the Board of Directors of The Ehlers-Danlos Society and Notre Dame Alumni, who lives with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). ? ? During May, we'll hear about Francie's diagnostic odyssey and the challenges she faced, shared by many struggling with EDS and HSD. Here, we learn about Francie's reflections on learning to live with uncertainty. "You never know what someone is going through just by looking at them due to invisible illness and the struggles faced behind them. Living with EDS and POTS comes with the dichotomy of active days and medical-heavy days which can be very close together. EDS requires a crash course in learning how to come to terms, and peace with, the challenges of life in general. It is a hard adjustment but I keep an open mind to learning what resources and steps to take forward."

There have been countless studies done on the act of forgiveness, all showing us that forgiveness is not just a nicety - it’s healthy & absolutely necessary to the quality of our lives. Dr. Fred Luskin, director, and co-founder of the Stanford University Forgiveness Project, conducted research on college-aged adults & younger, middle-aged adults from Northern Ireland who had lost family members to the bloodshed in that area. ??♂?His first study found that people who were taught to forgive became less angry & more optimistic, compassionate, & self-confident. They also carried less stress. ?? Other studies of forgiveness have found it can be good for your heart. A study from the Journal of Behavioral Medicine associated forgiveness with lower heart rates, lower blood pressure, & stress relief. Do you have someone or something you need to forgive to live a life full of freedom this year? #forgiveness RaniYogaDevi FootprintsWellness ?? #RaniYogaDevi #FootprintsWellness ??

We wanted to boost this post on Facebook to spread the word about our free Continuing Education workshop for mental health counselors, therapists, and social workers to learn more about meeting the needs of Indigenous Americans, but Facebook rejected it (TWICE!) because it contains a sensitive "social issue." We don't believe providing culturally-informed care and advancing health equity for all should be considered a taboo topic. Please help us by sharing this post. Especially if you happen to know any MFTs, LPCCs, LEPs, and/or LCSWs!

As the holidays approach, and we prepare to gather together with our families, it’s the perfect time to participate in Family Health History Month – and ask yourself this important question: Does everyone in my family know about my heart condition? It can be tough to talk to your family about your heart – but it’s critical. Because SADS conditions are genetic, other members of your family might be affected – and by reaching out to your family and making them aware of your condition (and the possibility that they could be affected too), you could save the life of a loved one, or even a distant relative! We know that it can be hard to figure out where to start, which is why we make it as easy as possible here at SADS. View all our resources this month at https://conta.cc/48sNwZD.

"The impact of childhood stress echoes through generations of health outcomes" Early childhood experiences shape more than just our memories, they fundamentally influence our long-term health outcomes. The correlation between adverse childhood experiences and chronic illnesses isn't just significant, it's staggering. For each additional traumatic experience, the likelihood of developing major health conditions increases exponentially. From diabetes to heart disease, these aren't just statistics, they're preventable outcomes if we intervene early enough. It was fascinating to hear Dr. Michelle Stephens,former Chief Nursing Officer at Oath Care and current CRO at Felt, share her groundbreaking research on how early intervention could reshape healthcare outcomes.

https://lnkd.in/gs5p9b45 Facts about brain trauma Overall, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that up to nearly 4 million sports- and recreation-related concussions occur every year in the United States, and children are the most affected. However, this number underestimates the total occurrences of TBI, since concussions represent only a subset of these brain injuries. The CDC says many individuals suffering from mild or moderate TBI do not seek medical attention. While relatively little is known about the long-term effects of these brain injuries, the World Health Organization projects that TBI will be the third-leading cause of global disease by 2020.
