5 Reasons You need a Patient Advocate By Katherine Ross, BSN, RN, MBA, iRNPA BodyGuard Patient Advocates Walter Cronkite said, “
America’s healthcare system is neither healthy nor caring nor a system.”
To find and receive the care you need requires an understanding of our dysfunctional system. What is a patient advocate? Someone who helps you through the medical maze that has become more complicated in the last 10 years. These are the things an independent RN Patient Advocate (iRNPA) who is knowledgeable about our system knows how to do. It is too easy for you to fall through the cracks of our system. Most importantly, an iRNPA, only has on allegiance – to YOU! Not the insurance company, the pharmaceutical company, the hospital, the medical equipment company, or the physician.
1.You don’t know what you don’t know What happens when you and your partner do not understand what the doctor is saying? How do you know what questions to ask? Do you know whether all of the doctors providing your care at a particular hospital are considered in network? If not, it may cost you if you don’t understand the insurance companies’ responsibility. When your gut is telling you something is not right with the diagnosis how do you proceed?

2.Your Emotions get in the way When you or someone you love is diagnosed with something difficult, you know that our emotions get in the way. The medical term is your amygdala, which is a part of your brain, gets hijacked and we stop thinking clearly. Adrenaline starts pumping and we are not able to listen to the words coming out of people’s mouths. Fear, uncertainty, and anxiety create an environment that is not best for decision making. You are entitled to every one of your emotions but let your patient advocate be there to balance out what is going on in your mind. They will be able to go over the information you received and make sure that you hear all of the important information necessary for you to make a decision.
3.Your doctors are doing the best they can under the circumstances Every year doctors get paid less for their services.. In order make the amount of money necessary to support their practices the only answer is to see more patients or do things that they can charge more money for. Doctors get paid for the things they do, prescribing medications, performing a test or procedure. Do you know what the don’t get paid for? Talking to you. So if you are feeling rushed, it is probably true. Think about it in your job would you keep doing it if your company paid you less each year instead of the same or more. This is exactly what insurance companies have done to our doctors. The satisfaction received from providing great care is gone. The provider is working harder than ever but not seeing more on their bottom line. If we want to receive better care, we are going to need to learn to be better patients. This sounds strange but we as consumers will have to approach our care differently. We need to approach our visits with a plan to get the most from the time with our doctors. Your iRNPA will assist you in preparing for your visits and empower you to get the care you need.
4.The right Hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing Your doctor doesn’t get paid to talk to you and they don’t get paid to talk to each other. No one person is coordinating your care. You are given a new medication by one doctor, and you begin to have side effects you weren’t expecting but you have an appointment with another one of your doctors. Surely, they will help you. Unfortunately, they probably won’t because they didn’t prescribe it. One doctor may prescribe a medication and the next doctor you see may not want you to take it. What do you do then? My husband had 7 physicians after he was discharged, and we added 2 more to the mix. None of these doctors communicated with each other. How did the right hand know what the left hand was doing, I provided a written report to each physician with the updates since they had last seen him. Physicians are trained to deal with the body part they are assigned. However, you are still a whole person and all of you needs to be accounted for. Your iRNPA will coordinate with all of you healthcare providers making sure the left hand knows what the right hand is doing.

5.Ahh! Dr. Google I don’t know what we did before the internet. I remember a long time ago, being in a library. Now, we think we can learn everything from the internet. We can diagnose ourselves. Determine the medication and treatment we should be receiving. Just one problem. These websites aren’t necessarily about helping patients they are about making money. How do you know who did the research study you are reviewing. If it was the pharmaceutical company that created the drug, could it be slightly biased? There are entire marketing departments in existence to get you to buy their products, stay on their website. Maybe you will click on an ad to buy something and they will make money that way. Just because it is on the internet does not make it a good source. Your iRNPA will know which sources are trusted.
In Summary: To receive the care you deserve requires different approaches from the days gone past. You and I were never taught to be a patient. We learned by following what others around us did. Some people were great advocates for themselves and loved one’s, others not so much. If we want to receive better care, we are must be better patients. This sounds strange but we as consumers will have to approach our care differently. iRNPA’s
cannot fix America’s healthcare system, but we can
change our approach to help you receive the best care possible.

Autoimmune Disease Causes Although the exact causes of autoimmunity remain uncertain, autoimmune diseases are largely thought to be caused by either genetic or environmental factors. While genetics determine how susceptible an individual is to developing autoimmunity, external factors in a person's diet, lifestyle, and environment play a significant role. These factors or "triggers" can also lead to unpredictable spikes in autoimmune disease symptoms, significantly impacting quality of life. In Mymee's work with its members, Mymee has matched more than 90 potential unique triggers with more than 150 unique autoimmune disease symptoms.

How Mymee treats it Receiving a diagnosis for an autoimmune disease is generally more complicated than with other health conditions. On average, it takes 4.5 years for a person to be diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and in that time, an average of four different doctors will be sought for help. Typically, an autoimmunity diagnosis is based upon reported
With Mymee, autoimmune disease symptoms are reduced or eliminated by identifying the individual's environmental and lifestyle factors that cause flare ups. A combination of in-app tracking, thoughtful data analysis, and one-on-one health coaching leaves members with an actionable plan for taking control of their health.
symptoms and blood markers found through testing.
As mentioned, autoimmunity symptoms and triggers are unique to the individual. This calls for individualized treatment. Autoimmune disease treatment with a physician may include medication such as painkillers or anti inflammatories, creams, supplements or other therapies.
Mymee is a care program combining data analytics, health coaching, and a mobile app to help individuals struggling with autoimmunity or COVID long haul reduce symptoms by identifying and eliminating triggers.

NOTE TO SELF
– The Magic of GRATITUDE By Tasha Chen
Are you ready to experience the magic and manifesting wonder when you combine Intention and Gratitude? I know the answer is YES!!!!!!!!! Then, Elites lets truly give it our all when we LIVE our beliefs this month!
As expert practitioners of the Science of Getting Rich, we have a deep appreciation for the absolute power of Gratitude as part of our creation and manifesting practice. In honor of Thanksgiving and to build on our Intention practice of last month, we will combine Gratitude and Intention and create a powerful Manifesting Ritual as part of our practice this month! Getting into the FEELING of Gratitude
We attract our desires from our FEELINGS….we know this! As Abraham Hicks says “the vibrations [FEELINGS] you offer equal your asking, which equal your point of attraction”. The stronger, more intense and consistent your vibration/feeling the greater you are as a magnet to that which you have already created for yourself in the Universe. This process requires no REAL effort….its the easy and relaxed that we LOVE; as a magnet you are not TRYING to attract, by your feelings you just do! Your feelings create the magnetic pull of DESIRED or UNDESIRED to you. Remember, like attracts like, for the next 28 days we are committing to becoming MAGNETS to our desires by having a mental “likeness” to them. What does that mean and how will it work? We will make this practice simple so that we can quickly see the results and make it into a HABIT for our lives.
Set 3 FEELING INTENTIONS……we are going right to the SOURCE of magnetism this month and setting FEELING Intentions. What feelings do you want to create? Make your Intentions affirmative so that they are stated as I am feeling RICH, I am feeling Loved, I am feeling like November was a huge success, or I am feeling in awe of easy and relaxed manifesting”. The key is to be very clear on how you want to FEEL and of course be WIDE open to how the Universe chooses to manifest bringing you that feeling. If you care to be more specific feel free to add WHY being in the feeling is important to you or preferred ways you wish the feeling manifested….so for example “I am feeling loved because my soul-mate has demonstrated his love for me in so many fun and unique ways” WRITE YOUR 3 Intentions on an index Card and place in a highly visible area (bathroom mirror, bedside table, office desk, car dashboard) Journal in Gratitude—for the next 28 days you may add to or make your daily journaling dedicated to the GRATEFUL Thanksgiving for having manifested these feelings. To attract your desires you have to FEEL as if they are already yours….the easiest way to do this is to be grateful for what you want….BEFORE you receive it. To amplify and speed up your manifesting you may also include this gratitude for the feeling in your meditation practice. During a challenging period of my life when I wanted to change an outcome I meditated every morning in grateful thanksgiving for the feeling of peace. My mantra was “I am thankful for feeling Peace”…even though this was a future outcome I was seeking, I imprinted my subconscious with that feeling of peacefulness until I attracted the circumstance that lead to creating more peace in my life. SHARE, SHARE, SHARE….. as you MANIFEST outcomes, circumstances, people,…..ANYTHING that leads to the NOW physical manifestation of your FEELINGS intention this month….SHARE!

When answering these questions, you want to get a low score, which means you have good vital energy. Your body functions are working smoothly! But what can you do if your score is high? Getting the right amount of micronutrients in your diet is key to making sure your body is functioning properly. But with so many vitamins and minerals to worry about, how do you really know you're getting what you need? With USANA's CellSentials Pack, the foundation is set for you. It's a triple-threat supplement pack that gives you carefully balanced levels of vitamins and minerals plus the added protection of antioxidants. Watch the video above to see how the USANA's CellSentials Pack can help support your health. Presented by USANA.
