While there’s a lot we can’t control, certain behaviors may help you stay healthier longer: 👟 Move. Even small amounts of activity count. 👥 Nurture friendships. Strong social connections are associated with better health. 🫘 Eat more beans, nuts, and grains.

“Medical gaslighting” is the feeling of having your symptoms dismissed or misdiagnosed. As a recent @nytimes article pointed out, this happens far too often. We’re working to change that. Our technology platform helps our team deliver consistent care and more accurate diagnoses.

We believe cultural congruency is an integral part of building relationships and trust between patients and providers. That’s why we’re excited to announce our new partnership with @joinviolet, a platform that provides continuing cultural competency education to care teams.

Birth control is one of the best ways to prevent unwanted pregnancies. The pill is not your only option. Other forms of hormonal contraception, such as the patch or the ring, are just as effective—and can be more convenient. Talk to your provider to find the best option for you.

@vcryansa Thank you for the feedback. Our mission is to create greater health equity in America and to care for diverse populations. One way we do that is by educating people about the health disparities that LGBTQ and other communities face. We believe awareness helps create change.

As a country, we've made a lot of progress when it comes to LGBTQ rights—the legalization of same-sex marriage; the lifting of the transgender military ban; increased visibility in sports, entertainment, and politics.

If you’re an LGBTQ person, make sure you’re getting regular STI and cervical cancer screenings. Not sure which screenings you need? Reach out to us on the Galileo app. If you’re an LGBTQ ally, help by advocating for inclusive sex education or volunteering at @PPFA.

Alcohol misuse is more common among LGBTQ people than their heterosexual counterparts. If you’re an LGBTQ person and are overusing alcohol, use @gayandsober or Gays and Lesbians in AA to find an LGBTQ-inclusive meeting. LGBTQ ally? Volunteer at an addiction treatment center.

At Galileo, we're removing barriers to care by providing affordable, 24/7 access to culturally competent doctors. This month, we’ll be posting about ways you can also help reduce health disparities among LGBTQ people.

For many reasons (discrimination and stigma, lack of health insurance, a shortage of culturally competent providers), LGBTQ people experience higher rates of mental health conditions, substance abuse disorders, and sexually transmitted infections.

Feeling anxious? Try this easy grounding exercise. According to Galileo provider and behavioral health expert Kristen Scarlett, grounding techniques can help anchor you to the present moment and recenter your mind before you start to spiral. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

As part of our @PosthocSalons series on health equity, @MacTavishBest sat down with our CEO and founder Tom Lee and Olympic swimming champion @garyhalljr to talk about the rising price of insulin. Listen to the conversation: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/not…

Studies show people with primary care providers get more high-value care (preventive screenings, diagnostic tests, counseling) *and* spend less money on health care. See why Galileo makes a great PCP: galileo.io/individuals/
