Healthcare Leader, Innovator- Care Delivery, Integration & Transformation, Wellness and Lifestyle Medicine Entrepreneur
It’s been a few weeks since speaking with Mike Stack on his U of Michigan Wellness Paradox podcast. Since then I have had the pleasure of meeting new (& hearing from current) clinical & non-clinical professionals re: the Podcast/ Career, Healthcare, Well-being, Wellness & Lifestyle. In follow-up, a prominent MD recently suggested providers should want to share their health metrics with patients as a positive way of highlighting how they live their day is what they practice w/ their respective patients/clients. It’s a reasonable ask & to that extent, metabolic health is key to better healthspan (quality of life) & potentially lifespan (length of life). One lab that brings significant value to a comprehensive metabolic review is Insulin. Fasting insulin acts as a great early detection system of future chronic diseases such as T2D, CVD, Cancer, and Neuro-Degen. Despite its value with optimizing healthspan, fasting insulin is not currently a common measure of metabolic health in primary care. However, I am optimistic this lab among many more will become standard of care as momentum for preventative care and wellness continues to increase in the US! As a Sr. Healthcare Leader, Lifestyle Medicine Advocate & Practitioner who went through a 180 turnaround w/ their health 3.5yrs ago, I have always been focused on the wellbeing of the community be it bringing new services, building new facilities or more recently guiding community members to better health! In full transparency, below is my recent insulin lab result along with a major Lab provider such as Quest provides as reference range for high risk to optimal (low) risk where <18.4 uIU/mL is optimal. Of note, some experts focused in metabolic health suggest <5-7 uIU/mL is optimal for fasting insulin. In addition to my Insulin results, my fasting glucose was 86 and A1C was 5.2. This was my first insulin test and I’m very grateful for the partnership I have created with my PCP. He and I have great discussions and I’d we have learned from each other as well! Through my recent personal and professional journey, my purpose, mission, and passion as a Sr. Healthcare Executive, Practitioner, and Advocate has improved and transformed me as a person and as a leader. I am truly excited about the future of Healthcare and Medicine! #Healthcare #Lifestylemedicine #Wellness #Wellbeing #Valuebasedcare #Sustainability

In our fast-paced world, it's easy to push essential health check-ups to the bottom of our to-do lists. However, it's crucial to remember that preventive healthcare, especially for women, is not just a matter of personal well-being but a cornerstone of a vibrant and fulfilling life. This is a gentle reminder to schedule regular mammograms and other wellness appointments. Mammograms are a vital tool in the early detection of breast cancer, significantly increasing the chances of successful treatment and recovery. Women are recommended to start having regular mammograms at the age of 40 or earlier for those with a family history of breast cancer. However, it's not just about mammograms; regular check-ups, Pap smears, and screenings for osteoporosis and cardiovascular health are equally important. These appointments can detect potential health issues before they become serious, offering peace of mind and the opportunity to take proactive steps toward maintaining good health. Let's also encourage the women in our lives to prioritize their health. Whether it's scheduling that overdue mammogram, reminding a friend about her annual health check-up, or sharing resources for affordable healthcare services, our collective action can make a significant difference. Let's champion women's health, not just today but every day, because taking care of our health is one of the most empowering steps we can take for ourselves and our loved ones.

By gaining a holistic view of an individual's health—incorporating information about life habits such as exercise, diet, screen time, and sleep—we can better understand their overall well-being and tailor our care to meet their specific needs.

🌟 Unlocking the Power of Peptides in Patient Care** 🌟I’m John Campetella, Director of Integrated Wellness, and today I want to emphasize the importance of a dual-focus approach in medical practice - understanding both the *physiological mechanisms of action of peptides* and the *practical knowledge* necessary for developing effective patient protocols.Peptides are at the forefront of innovative treatment strategies. They play pivotal roles in various physiological processes, including hormonal balance, tissue repair, and immune system responses. Delving into the *mechanism of action* of these peptides not only unveils the intricacies of their functions but also empowers us to harness their potential safely and effectively.However, theoretical knowledge alone is not enough. Practical experience and the ability to translate this knowledge into *patient-specific protocols* are what truly make a difference. Each patient’s journey is unique, and understanding their specific needs, lifestyle, and health goals is paramount. By integrating our deep scientific understanding with a personalized approach, we can develop targeted therapies that not only address the root cause of health issues but also promote overall well-being.At our Integrated Wellness program, we are committed to staying at the cutting edge of science and medicine, ensuring that our patients receive the most advanced and effective care. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, we are paving the way for a future where wellness is accessible and tailored to everyone.Let’s continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in healthcare, together. Your health is our mission.#IntegratedWellness #PeptideTherapy #PatientCare #MedicalInnovation #wellness #testosterone #bodybuilding #fit #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnesstips #health #healthylifestyle

Chief Executive Officer | Inspiring Children Through Gymnastics & Fitness | Chair, National Health & Fitness Alliance (NHFA)
📈 Physical Activity IS a Vital Sign 📈 The #ExerciseisMedicine initiative, led by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), is transforming the way #healthcare providers approach patient care. By integrating physical activity assessment and promotion into routine clinical practice, this initiative aims to tackle #chronic diseases and improve overall health outcomes. The CNN article linked to this post gives a great overview of this 17+ year-old initiative. As #fitness industry professionals already know, regular physical activity can help prevent and manage chronic conditions like heart disease, type 2 #diabetes, and certain types of #cancer. The Exercise is Medicine initiative encourages healthcare providers to view physical activity as a crucial "vital sign" alongside traditional measures like blood pressure and heart rate. This shift in perspective emphasizes the importance of exercise in maintaining good #health and preventing disease. Healthcare providers are urged to assess patients' #physicalactivity levels, provide personalized #exercise recommendations, and refer them to qualified exercise professionals when necessary. This collaborative approach ensures that patients receive the guidance and support they need to adopt and maintain active lifestyles. Key findings in the CNN article: 📈 Physical activity is a powerful tool for preventing and managing chronic diseases. 📈 Healthcare providers need to play a role in promoting physical activity to their patients. 📈 Assessing physical activity as a "vital sign" can lead to more comprehensive and personalized patient care. 📈 Collaborating with exercise professionals can help patients develop and maintain active lifestyles (this is the one that matters the most!) As the #ExerciseIsMedicine movement continues to gain traction, we are seeing the integration of Medical Fitness into our standard gym footprints, offering healthcare providers a place to refer patients to help improve this critical vital sign. The coming together of "health care and health club" is happening now and those brands that are on the forefront of this movement will win long-term. #ExerciseIsMedicine #ACSM #Healthcare #PhysicalActivity #ChronicDiseasePrevention #Wellness #PreventativeCare #Obesity Mike Goscinski Al Noshirvani Mike Neff Bryan Myers Justin Ghadery Allison Flatley Kristen Wheeler Vince Pozinski Brett Hanson David Flench, FACHE, MBA Xenia Kachur Link to CNN article: https://lnkd.in/gKq-HtEm
