You can listen to this on my podcast - 5:42 mins or click the link here for the YouTube Channel version (audio only) This is an episode about sleep! Have you ever had a night where you didn't sleep well? I didn't rest well for a few days because I had some pains in my body. It was rough. My left shoulder was bothering me so I couldn't get be on my left side, and my right lower back above my hip was hurting and when I turned to lie on my back, I just couldn't get comfortable. I could feel the after effects of the restlessness several days later. I'm grateful that my sleep is back to normal now . Having a sleep hygiene routine has been very helpful. I usually get off my phone or tablet about 30 minutes before I go to bed and lately I have been either reading a book with essays or doing a jigsaw puzzle to calm my mind down and get ready for bed. The mind likes to have something to do, so I do my best to make my before bed that stuff, relaxing. I did a little research to find out how common sleep issues are. According to the State of Sleep in the U.S. and Sleep Statistics from the Center for Advancing Health, I found out a few statistics about sleep and sleep habits: 53% of U.S. adults say worrying about inflation/cost of living has negatively impacted their sleep. 43% of U.S. adults say they experience insomnia. 18% of U.S. adults say worrying about the 2024 presidential election has negatively impacted their sleep. 51% or more than half of Americans say their symptoms prevent them from getting enough sleep. Symptoms include back pain, joint pain, and heartburn. 41% say their anxiety over what will happen the next day keeps them up at night. Temperature also plays a role, with 31% saying it's either too hot or too cold to sleep. 73% of U.S. adults follow a regular bedtime routine. 20% of U.S. adults say they stop using devices with screens 20-30 minutes before going to sleep. The mind is usually still active until we give it something to do to calm it down. My current sleep hygiene routine may include: Getting off my devices (phone, computer & tablet). Reading a few pages from a book that isn't stimulating. A short bedtime qigong practice (about 10-12 minutes) Deep breathing while in the bed- 4 breaths in through the nose and 8 breaths out through mouth. Here are a few suggestions for you to consider before bedtime: Put away your phone/tablet/devices at least 30 minutes or longer before bed. Turn off the television before bed. Do a jigsaw puzzle. Do word search, Sudoku or crossword puzzles (not in the bed). Bedtime Qigong (search on YouTube for short practices). Deep breathing - try 4 breaths in through the nose and 6 or 8 breaths out the mouth. Practice Yoga Nidra for sleep (search on YouTube for short practices). Take a warm bath with epsom salts (Dr. Teal is one of my favs.) Sleep with the phone in a different room. Listen to a bedtime story or meditation. A few years ago I collaborated with another teacher, JuneB, on the Insight Timer APP to create a few adult bedtime stories, she wrote the scripts and I narrated them. You can find time on the Insight Timer APP if you are interested. I also have them on my Bedtime with Barbara Playlist on my YouTube channel. Going to bed at the same time is part of a routine that many sleep experts recommend. I'm not there yet, on the weekends, I tend to stay up later than usual. Lol. Do you have a bedtime routine that you use? You can leave a comment wherever you are listening to this podcast.

The racial wealth gap between Black and white Americans has remained persistently steady since 1970, with Black Households owning just one-eighth of the wealth of white households. This disparity directly affects access to care, affordable housing, healthy food, education and other factors, leading to lower life expectancies and worse health outcomes for people of color.In this episode, Crystal Tyler, PhD, MPH, chief health officer of Rhia Ventures, and Pamela Johnson, vice president of health equity and partnerships at the American Heart Association, discuss how the racial wealth gap and other historical factors have led to significant differences in access to healthcare, education, nutrition and other social determinants of health. They also emphasize the need for cross-industry collaboration and sustainable investment in community-centered solutions, as well as the role of innovation in improving health outcomes for people of color.

Dr. Katelyn Jetelina has taken her modest public health email for friends and family and fashioned it into a public health powerhouse of a newsletter and significant force of influence for millions. Yes, that little newsletter, "Your Local Epidemiologist," grew from a personal email list to over 330 million followers seeking clear guidance amid uncertainty during the pandemic.Dr. Jetelina sits down with Carrie to reflect on how we had to learn to navigate the firehose of pandemic information. She turned that effort toward teaching, translating complex science for diverse audiences through an empathetic and apolitical lens. No, she's not trained in communications. Dr. Jetelina is a professor, and embracing that role free of judgment set the stage for her personal rise to prominence.As culture continues to evolve, Jetelina argues public health must improve its communications capacity and community engagement. She's doing her part to move the discussion forward; she now tackles more ideologically charged topics like gun violence, though still approaches these issues through her solutions-focused, nonpartisan lens.Throughout the tumult, Jetelina has stayed anchored by her commitment to equip trusted messengers and meet people where they are. Her trailblazing work shows scientific facts alone don't shape opinions; we must appeal to shared values. She calls us all to reimagine public health as a collective mission vital to our shared future. Our great thanks to Dr. Jetelina for joining Mission Forward this week.

Starting at a young age, ageism — discrimination or unjust treatment of older people based on stereotypes — shapes the way we think about ourselves and others as we age. Instead of focusing on the negative perceptions of aging, it's time we focused on the value of the wisdom, insights and life experiences older adults contribute to our communities. What if we thought of aging as an opportunity rather than a crisis? What if we had systems in place to better support all of us as we age? How would that affect our health and well-being?Robert Espinoza, executive vice president at PHI and chair-elect of the American Society on Aging, and Mary O'Donnell, president of RRF Foundation for Aging, explore how changing the way we talk about aging could help us live longer and healthier lives and what health equity could look like for older adults if it were achieved.Learn more about PHILearn more about the American Society on AgingLearn more about RRF Foundation for AgingAbout Advancing Health EquityMATTER's Advancing Health Equity podcast series focuses on unpacking the complexities of health inequities impacting the healthcare system and the health and well-being of individuals and their communities.

He passed away in an accident in April. A few weeks before the accident, I found out that he had a one night stand with a woman who he works with. When he died, I hadn't decided yet what was going to happen in our relationship. We entered counselling and were still living together but obviously it was hectic. As I wasn't sure if we were going to divorce, I decided not to tell our families and only confided in a few close friends and my therapist. I didn't want opinions from everyone. I also didn't tell his family when he died, there was no reason to. A few weeks ago the affair partner reached out to me. She's 5 months pregnant and preparing to raise the baby.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/schwebelroom/message

In past episodes of Charting Pediatrics, we have discussed the health equity challenges that organizations and healthcare systems face and the importance of a diverse workforce. Differences such as race, gender, and socioeconomic status are all associated with the disparities we see in health care systems each day. An important step to help providers close this gap, starts within healthcare professional education. In this episode, we are going to take a deep dive into how health systems can help protect and advocate for the most vulnerable patients of all, the patients in the NICU. Today, I am excited to be speaking with Dr. Paula Dias Maia and Dr. Nicolle Dyess.  Dr. Paula Dia Maia is a neonatal-perinatal fellow and was previously one of the leaders of the diversity in pediatrics committee. Dr. Nicolle Dyess works in the Division of Neonatal-Perinatal medicine and is an assistant professor and the University of Colorado. Today's episode is underwritten by Aon, a proud supporter of Charting Pediatrics and Children's Hospital Colorado. Aon believes that businesses thrive when the communities they serve flourish. Thank you to Aon for helping our community flourish through this partnership.

We've learned a lot over the last two years: for one, that responding to a global public health crisis depends on strong strategic sourcing partners; and on the flipside, that supporting urgent, high-impact projects is next to impossible with a procurement process that lives in filing cabinets and email inboxes. Procurement teams have had to ask some tough questions and strategize about how to respond faster and stronger to the next big challenge. In this episode of Inside Public Procurement, we're bringing you a recorded webinar featuring the story of UT Health San Antonio, a leading research university in South Texas. Even before the pandemic, UT Health San Antonio knew their ability to deliver valuable real-world solutions would be hampered by old approaches to sourcing and purchasing. Training future generations of healthcare professionals and driving breakthroughs in healthcare would require a strong procurement strategy. Strategic Sourcing Specialist Christopher C. Januszewski describes the journey to implement a digital procurement system and build a strategic sourcing department from the ground up. You'll learn how eProcurement helped centralize and streamline sourcing for the busy research university—and how it can help your organization do the same.
