The Importance of Cultural Humility in Healthcare
America is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. In addition to racial and ethnic diversity, more than 350 languages are spoken in the U.S. In fact, 1 in 5 people speak a language other than English at home, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Cold Plunge, Anyone?
I’m from Michigan so I know what cold is. I now live in Las Vegas — because I know what cold is. All those years digging my car out of the snow has given me freeze-phobia — I try to avoid anything that’s even associated with the cold. I drink hot tea. I prefer my true crime cases solved. I don’t know where Iceland is on a map. And I’m a fan of Netflix — you can keep the chill. Healthy

Sjögren’s Disease 101
Sjögren’s (pronounced show-grins) disease is an autoimmune condition that affects the moisture-making glands in the body. The disease can affect the eyes, mouth, nasal passages — even the vagina — and cause extreme dryness and chronic pain among other life-altering symptoms. Unfortunately, it can take years to get a diagnosis for Sjögren’s in part because symptoms like dryness can be dismissed by healthcare providers as eye allergies or menopause or just no big deal. But Sjögren’s is a serious, systemic Healthy

Optimism can increase savings
Having optimism about the future may help people save more money. Research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that people who are optimistic tend to save more money and that was particularly the case for people with lower incomes. “Across eight large studies involving over 140,000 participants from multiple countries, we found that people who score higher on measures of dispositional optimism—the tendency to expect positive outcomes in life—save more money than those who are less optimistic,” theravive
