When they say you learn something new everyday, they weren't kidding! We learned enough in this one episode to get us through the next month, at least!It was our pleasure to have Summer Maiden as a guest to talk about the importance of lymphatic massages. We learned so much about the process and why lymphatic massages aren't just for post surgery or folks with lipedema or lymphedema.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) afflicts 24 million adult Americans and represents the 3rd leading cause of death. COPD is also the 5th most costly chronic disease in the US with attributable direct healthcare costs estimated at $49 billion! Given the edifice of fee-for-service payment in US healthcare, we have allowed the care of COPD patients to become fragmented and inconsistent.  We continue to see care of this chronically ill population wrought with poor clinical outcomes and a high economic burden. However, we are now seeing that value-based care is beginning to catalyze COPD care delivery innovation for a more promising future! Our guests this week are Geoff Matous and Dr. Abi Sundaramoorthy of Wellinks – a digital health company offering the first-ever integrated, virtual chronic obstructive pulmonary disease management solution.  These two leaders are connecting the dots on COPD to create a constellation of care that includes pulmonary rehabilitation, personalized coaching and monitoring, and connected devices. Disruption in payment incentives have spawned care delivery innovation at Wellinks, and they are poised for further success of their platform with the promise of global capitation in ACO REACH and MA plans. Don't miss out on the important conversation to learn how partnership and innovation can transform your healthcare organization's COPD population health playbook strategy!

Kim Newlin! Kim Newlin is currently practicing as a Cardiovascular Clinical Nurse Specialist and Adult Nurse Practitioner at Sutter Roseville Medical Center in Roseville, California. She first earned a BS in Exercise Physiology at University of California at Davis, then completed the RN and CNS program at the University of California, San Francisco, and the Gerontology/Adult Nurse Practitioner post-master's program through the University of Massachusetts at Boston. Kim is the Director of Cardiovascular Services, which includes oversight of the Cath Lab, Interventional Radiology, Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab and the Heart Health Clinic. She continues to see patients in the Heart Health clinic which she established in 2011. Kim developed the first Care Transitions Program in the Sutter Sacramento region, both of which have significantly improved the patient experience during the transition home and reduced readmissions back to the hospital by focusing on improving medication reconciliation, creating a realistic transitional care plan and helping patients and families obtain the appropriate post acute care. She also mentors new and seasoned nurses and works on a variety of process improvement programs within the hospital and the region. Kim's Three Tips for Aging Thoughtfully: 1. Move every day. It doesn't need to be fancy.  You don't need expensive clothes – you don't need to go to the gym. Just make it a priority. Fit it into your day however you have to. It doesn't need to be more than 30 minutes, and it's really never too late to start. So, if you don't do anything now – anything more than you're doing now is better. 2.  Choose to be a mindful eater. From everything to when you're buying the food, to when you're making your meals and when you are putting it in your mouth. Realizing that food becomes a part of you and can make all the difference in your daily energy, your mood, your weight and really your health. 3. Find a daily stress relief that does not cost money or require you to travel.  Kim mentions the book: Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Element of Good Cooking Heart Healthy Links from Kim! There is not a lack of literature out there, so I recommend talking to a health care professional and doing some reading on trustworthy sites with good, easy to read information: (CDC, https://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/index.html  and PCNA: https://pcna.net/clinical-resources/patient-handouts/heart-healthy-toolbox/ Two good articles with a lot of research are: https://www.onlinejacc.org/content/69/9/1172: Trending Cardiovascular Nutrition Controversies https://www.acc.org/latest-in-cardiology/ten-points-to-remember/2018/07/25/13/51/a-clinicians-guide-for-trending-cardiovascular-nutrition: Cardiovascular Nutrition: Current Controversies Physical Activity Guidelines: https://www.hhs.gov/fitness/be-active/physical-activity-guidelines-for-americans/index.html --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/agethoughtfully/support

Welcome Medicare Nation!  Today’s guest from the American Lung Association is Dr. Norman Edelman.  Dr. Edelman has an years of experience that includes:   Norman H. Edelman, M.D. is Professor of Preventive Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Physiology and Biophysics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. From 1996 - 2006, he served in a dual capacity as Vice President for Health Sciences and Dean of the School of Medicine at Stony Brook.  A graduate of Brooklyn College, Dr. Edelman received his M.D. degree from New York University, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha honor medical society. He received postgraduate training at Bellevue Hospital in New York City and went on to be a Research Associate at the National Institutes of Health, National Heart Institute, and then Visiting Fellow in Medicine and Advanced Research Fellow of the American Heart Association, Cardiorespiratory Laboratory, Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Presbyterian Hospital. What is the American Lung Association? It was founded originally to combat tuberculosis, and was quite successful in helping get it under control.  Now it concerns it’s with all lung diseases, an advocate for clean air, and smoking cessation. What are the benefits of quitting smoking? Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the US, ahead of even obesity.  Stopping smoking can improve your healthy at any age.  Stopping the progression of the disease is important in order to prolong life. Does Medicare cover Lung Cancer Screening? Medicare recipients meeting certain criteria, Medicare will pay for a Lung Cancer Screening at no cost to you.  To be eligible, you must meet the following criteria:   If you smoked at least 30 pack years (a pack a day for 30 years) If you stopped less than 15 yrs ago 55-77 years old This screening can reduce death from lung cancer by 20%, by detecting nodules in the lungs.   COPD and Emphysema - what’s the difference? They are both cause primarily by smoking and air pollution.  COPD is what used to be called chronic bronchitis.  They now are combined under one diagnosis for ease. How does one get oxygen for home use? A physician would determine that you don’t have enough oxygen in your blood when at rest, and then prescribe supplemental oxygen.  Physician would fill out a form that certifies this meets the Medicare criteria, and once this is done, oxygen would be provided at no charge. What is Pulmonary Rehab and who needs it? Teaching people how to breathe properly.  Allows people to exercise and condition your heart and muscles so that they require less oxygen to function.  This eases shortness of breath.  If you have chronic lung disease, you should ask your Doctor if you would benefit from pulmonary rehab. What types of breathing exercises can improve lung function? The incentive spirometer can be a great exercise to increase oxygen capacity.  Any form of cardio exercises will allow the lungs to improve. Is there a correlation between early onset asthma and later stage COPD? Asthma sufferers frequently progress into COPD.  Asthma is a broad term and really can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people.  They can be different in biology and in our ability to treat them. How important is an inhaler with these diseases?   They can be life saving.  They are very effective for treating asthma and flare ups.  The American Lung Association is concerned about the affordability of inhalers.   Who are the lung disease specialists?   Start with your primary care physician.  They can then refer you to a Pulmonologist, who specializes in treating lung diseases. What diseases does the American Lung Association help with? Pulmonary fibrosis Lung cancer Infectious lung diseases Allergic lung diseases They also have a helpline and the number is on the website.   The website is a treasure trove of information - www.lung.org   Freedom from Smoking - Smoking Cessation program.  Best treatment  combines an accountability program, along with a pharmaceutical.   Got questions about Medicare Services for Lung Disease?  Send them to support@medicarenation.com.  We will address them in future episodes.   Thank you for listening!

Thank you Ray Walters and Nyle for endorsing us in Martial Arts and Wellness at Linkedin. It is great to hear from you Ray. Been a long while. Many of the old timers like Reid, Dwight and Patrick ask about you. Workshop on Push Hands has stimulated several questions. This weekend is our Push Hands Workshop , we will be working fundamentals of framework, alignment, sensing and intention. I look forward to it. The Pumpkin Carving is this weekend too, I am here all day, so bring it when you ready :) Hop Gar Video Trailor The Hop Gar Trailor I recently put out on Facebook, Vimeo, DailyMotion and Youtube, was a fun project I put together over the weekend. I took several photo I had of myself and others practicing Hop Gar around 1992 at the Golden Dragon resturaunt.There was about 5 of us that regular rotated in full contact beat downs out on the asphalt. Hot asphalt is a GREAT way to teach you to move and stay on your feet to fight. Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Oct 27, 1995 I had already another topic laid out and the memory came back. Not sure what triggers it, but it is a solemn reminder to practice and live strong. Being a dad now, the memories are even more intense. I changed to work in Fayetteville so that I could practice KungFu more. I worked in the Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab department with some fine folks. My schedule was simple for years. Get up at 5, chikung, posting and breakfast. work, go to the Golden Dragon to practice from 5:30 - 9 or so, come home, crash, do again. Saturdays I got to practice from 7 - 3. Sundays sometimes we would take turns hosting practice at homes. Went on for years. Oct 27 1995, Normal Day, My office was down the hall from new Outpatient Entrance, Fast access to hospital. Then the alert : Hero's The shooter hit and wounded 17 soldiers from the division's 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment as they left an athletic field. He shot three other soldiers who tried to stop him, wounding two and killing Maj. Stephen Badger. Order Amidst Chaos During those intense hours that day, I remember very clearly what looked like chaos. It reminded me of a MASH episode where Hawkeye and Trapper are working triage for wounded soldiers. Yet there was a very firm steadiness. I knew my priorities : Help stop bleeding Ease pain where I could Provide comfort and support Those 3 simple emphasis for me, kept order in the chaos. Why Do I share this memory with you? It occured because of my committment to train to be a better person with kungfu. I made life changing decisions that put me in the position that day. That your experiences can teach you what is important, and what is of lesser importance. Lesson to take today Life is short and can change in an instant. Find time to be grateful for someone or something while you are here. "We may not all agree on the politics that are involved, but I encourage you to agree on supporting those young men that put their lives on the line, both abroad and at home to provide us with the freedom to be happy and to complain." Get out today, practice, remember someone. If you were any way associated with the events of that day and hear my message today. I would like to hear from you. If there is anything I can do, I will.
