HealthRules #8 - Identify and Fix Your Airway, Breathing, and Sleep Problems - Ryan Robinson
You very likely have an airway problem. Most people do. If you ever had your wisdom teeth removed, that is a sign that you have an underformed jaw. As a consequence, you likely have a shrunken airway that is prone to closing off when you sleep. Why is it so common for people to have underformed jaws? Researchers think that it is because we eat insufficient fiber and roughage as children, and hence do not experience the normal hypertrophy (bulking up) of the jaw bones. Our airways are further compromised by chronic inflammation due to pollution and an inflammatory western diet. When our airway is shrunken, it closes off during sleep. This leads to a bad night of sleep. Research tells us that a single bad night of sleep means you are not at your best the next day. It means your immune system is not functioning at 100%. It means you are more prone to cancer and heart disease and Alzheimers. The tragedy is that when you have an airway problem, you can get a bad night of sleep every night, your entire life! Such people carry huge increases in chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, infections, autoimmune disease. They also feel lousy. MANY of the people with airway problems suffer from chronic fatigue, headaches, fibromyalgia, jaw pain, allergies, anxiety, depression, and a host of other maladies. About 90% of people with airway problems are unaware they have a problem. What are signs that YOU may have an airway problem? The Signs That You Could Have an Airway Problem snoring audible breathing (without snoring) allergies insomnia use of sleeping medicines night time urination dry mouth mouth breathing nasal congestion gum disease headache fibromyalgia pain syndromes musculoskeletal pain (knees, hips, more generalized) jaw pain anxiety depression obesity Atherosclerosis (caused by snoring) dementia other chronic diseases

HealthRules #7 - What People Can Do for Climate Change and Their Health - Poonam Maru, DO
Climate change is now an emergency. It is no longer about a polar bear floating on a tiny piece of ice. It is about flooding, wildfires, crop failures, hurricanes, evacuations. It’s about forced migration, hunger and food insecurity. It’s about social isolation of staying indoors for months at a time. It's also a direct threat to your own health, with head, dehydration, and natural disaster causing more and more death and disability not just in the remote developing world, but here at home as well. The sirens of the climate emergency are sounding daily. In June 2021, before summer has even kicked off, the western US is experiencing its worst drought in over a decade, with new wildfires at a 10-year high. In Brazil, the Amazon is experiencing its worst drought in 90+ years. People are getting displaced globally and we have heartbreaking stories of desperation and death as people try to flee areas of food insecurity or military conflict. In this first half of the 21st century, it is the global poor who will suffer the most from the climate emergency, with financial insecurity, hunger, water scarcity, natural disasters, political unrest, and direct health effects from heat and pollution. As we enter the second half, even affluence will be no guarantee of security. Who is most affected by the climate emergency here at home? It is the most vulnerable people in our communities: children, babies, pregnant women, elderly, poor, undocumented immigrants, and minorities.

Health Rules #6 - Heal Loneliness Using Groups - Jeff Geller, MD
Loneliness kills. People who are lonely have a 1.29 to 2.8 fold increased risk of death in a given year. The medical group visit is a powerful way to bring groups of patients/clients together, to collectively achieve deeper connection, health education, and healthy skill building. When done properly, groups can be so powerful that they are beneficial irrespective of the educational material that is presented. Dr. Jeff Geller coined the term the Group Inclusion Effect, akin to the placebo effect, meaning that the mere inclusion of a person in a group program will create an expected benefit in outcomes, regardless of what the group discusses.
