I started a daily digest of optimistic, credible news in healthcare. Each news item is curated by me and includes an easy to read explanation along with a 5 smiley rating for market readiness (so we can be optimistic...in a measured way 😊 ) There's also a 1-sentence summary for those who just want to skim it in 30 seconds, along with a brief audio version for those who prefer listening. Appreciate you checking it out and sharing it with friends! Link in the reply :)

@danielbrottman <3 <3 mutual support! i feel very helped by attendees.

@Christintweets congrats christin! i'm happy for you to have this opportunity to help them <3

Since I last wrote you, I am now looking forward to serving as a spiritual provider volunteer at a local incarcerated facility (aka jail.) In practical terms, this means teaching meditation to a small group of incarcerated persons if they wish to attend. If you have any advice or stories about your experiences with supporting incarcerated individuals or know someone who does, please connect them my way! More here :) christin.substack.com/p/life-update-…

@Christintweets The Art of living non profit has a long standing program to teach meditation and breath work to prisoners.

Friends... I need a favor from you 🙏 Cataracts are one of the leading causes of adult blindness in India. Not because there's no cure. The surgery exists. It's simple. It works. But millions still can't afford it... Back in 2023, I started an NGO with my family to solve this problem. It began as a personal mission... my grandmother lost her sight to cataracts in the final years of her life, and that loss stayed with us. Since then, we've completed 300+ free cataract surgeries with best-in-class hospitals. Every year, I meet people whose stories stay with me: → Earning members who lost their jobs because someone at home needs full-time care. → Parents who haven't seen their children's faces in years. → People trapped inside their own homes because they can't walk independently. One surgery. That's all it takes to give them their life back. That's why we host eye care/cataract surgery camps at least once a year... to help as many people as we can... Last year we even helped a hospital build a completely new operation theater - to increase the capacity of surgeries they perform.. This year we're hosting the camp on 16-17th Feb.. Each patient who comes in for help gets a free checkup, a free cataract surgery, all meals and stay for 2 days.. + post op care and counseling for 8 weeks after the surgery all of it for free It costs around 5100 INR or $60 to serve each patient... We've been lucky that over the years many friends and family have joined us in this mission.. And this year as we get ready to host another camp we're looking for help from more friends.. please consider joining our mission 🙏 Here's how you can help: 🔹 Donate... ₹5,100 or $60 restores one person's sight. Help 1 patient, 5, 10, or whatever feels right. (QR code to donate in the comments) 🔹 Connect us with your CSR team... if your company supports healthcare causes, we'd love to talk. 🔹 Share this post... every reshare puts this in front of someone who can help. (We are a government-registered organisation. All donations are eligible for tax exemption under section 80G.) You're reading this with healthy eyes right now. Millions of people don't have that luxury. Help us change that 🙏

@itsmemad_evans thank you for your kind words!

@Christintweets Love this idea, thoughtful optimism plus clarity makes healthcare news actually usable 😊🌟

@rileyngg i'm glad to see it!!

@Christintweets loved reading this. your concise summary of the medical news is very helpful.

Today in one sentence: Exercise after chemo helped people with colon cancer stay cancer-free longer; adding nivolumab before surgery raised 5-year survival in resectable lung cancer; taking cemiplimab after surgery lowered the return of high-risk skin cancer; an inhaled GM-CSF treatment helped people with a rare lung disease (aPAP); and a toripalimab plan without cisplatin worked with fewer side effects in nasopharyngeal cancer.   reframedaily.beehiiv.com/p/reframe-dail…

@BBManuscripts love this!!

@Christintweets Small daily resets and choosing progress over perfection helps me stay chill and focused 😌🧠

Overthinking is the enemy of 'chill.' Decluttering your mind is easy in theory, but harder in practice. How do you practically apply a 'chill' mindset to organizing your life? #Mindfulness #Decluttering
