Likewise, pt Health's Employee Referral Score increased 31 per cent in the same timeframe, which manifests in an improved retention rate.
"Healthcare is a challenging business," says Shantora. "In the pursuit of growth and shareholder value, it would be easy to overlook your teams and what your employees need.

OXYGEN: A SECRET WEAPON FOR HOLISTIC HEALTH? Expert Offers Insight Into Oxygen, Exercise, & the Art of BreathingWe all know breathing oxygen keeps us alive but it's easy to underestimate just how much it impacts our overall health and fitness. Oxygen helps the body maintain pH balance, boosts metabolism, detoxifies the blood, enhances exercise, and plays a huge role in the recovery process. But just because you are breathing air, doesn't mean that you are getting all of the holistic health benefits that proper breathing can offer. This is especially important when it comes to exercise and fitness.According to expert, Michael Grant White, not all breathing is created equal and there are breathing techniques you can do to enhance your workout."Breathing is an art. Since oxygen is crucial for peak athletic performance, proper breathing should be one of your main focuses during exercise...”
...says White who trains athletes (and those with challenged breathing) to use proper breathing techniques and has seen first-hand how better breathing can help strengthen endurance, lower lactic acid production, and improve stamina for cardio-centric activities (like running, swimming, biking, etc.) In addition, simple breathing techniques can help people (at any level of fitness) recover more quickly from high-intensity activities.Oxygen-enhanced exercise is a holistic approach to fitness that has recently skyrocketed in popularity. Once available and common only with Olympians and pro athletes. this training method has hit the mainstream and now at-home-exercisers and workout warriors across the country are using it as an all-natural way to gain an athletic advantage.
In case you missed this high school biology lesson, here's a quick recap of the science: During exercise, your muscles have to contract and work harder, which increases their demand for oxygen. The amount needed is much more than you are taking in. Your body first burns the existing oxygen in the red blood cells and when this runs out, the body turns to fermentation for its energy needs. Instead of using oxygen, the muscles convert glucose into lactic acid and this is when fatigue sets in. Oxygen-enhanced exercise leverages the body's already-existing system for oxygenating the blood before this happens. It is a scientifically proven phenomenon that’s said to benefit the body by reducing the physical stress of exercise, accelerating recovery, helping you sleep, giving you more energy, and improving your metabolism. "Playing sports, weight-lifting, circuit training, or any other intense physical activity, of course, burns calories and builds muscle, but many people don't consider the wear and tear it has on their body. Lack of oxygen ages the body at a much greater rate..."...says White, who has studied breathing over the past 24 years and has seen a rapid rise in interest for oxygen-enhanced exercise. As anti-doping initiatives spread across the country, and athletic drug testing becomes more prevalent, many athletes are turning to oxygen-enhanced exercise as a way to amplify their workouts without the use of drugs, chemicals, surgery, or invasive techniques. In short: better breathing = better health. Michael Grant White is on a mission to awaken the breathing consciousness of the world. He can share breathing tips people can use to improve their health and their workout and has insight into the oxygen-enhanced exercise trend.

Earning more than your peers buys more happiness in more countries with a larger rich-poor divide, study finds
Being richer than your peers can buy more happiness than the actual amount you take home, especially in countries with a large divide between rich and poor, a new study shows.
Researchers found people who earned more than others in their reference group – those of the same age, gender, religion, or nationality – were more likely to feel happy with their life.
This was particularly true for people who live in countries with greater income inequality like China and the United States, where the top one per cent of earners commanded the largest share of total income.
Nick Powdthavee, Professor of Behavioural Science at Warwick Business School, said: “People care very little about the actual figure they earn. They are more concerned with how their income compares with those around them.
“For example, their sense of wellbeing is more likely to be influenced by whether they are 5th or 40th highest-paid person in their workplace, rather than their precise salary.
“Now we have evidence that being the richest person in your peer group is likely to buy you more happiness if you come from a country where income inequality is seen as the norm.”
Professor Powdthavee conducted the research with Dr Anke Plagnol and Lucia Macchia from City University in London. The paper, Buying Happiness in an Unequal World: Rank of Income More Strongly Predict Well-being in More Unequal Countries, is due to be published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
The researchers compared the income, the income rank, and the wellbeing of 160,000 people in 24 countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, Australia and China.
They used data collected by the Gallup World Poll between 2009 and 2015. This included household income and a number of survey responses designed to measure happiness, stress, sadness and anger. Respondents were also asked to rate their life on a scale from 0 (worst possible) to 10 (best possible).
Those whose income ranked higher than others of the same age, gender, or religion, were more likely to report feeling happy, excited, or smiling the previous day. They were less likely to have reported feeling stressed, sad, or angry.
However, the effect on well-being of moving up or down the income rank is greater for those living in places where the gap between the rich and the poor is wider.
Professor Powdthavee said: “Earning more than others may improve an individual’s sense of wellbeing more in places where inequality is rife, but it also means that they are likely to suffer more psychologically if they move down the income rankings.
“There is evidence that policies which lower income inequality by redistributing wealth improve the aggregate well-being of the population in a country.
“This could be because there is less anxiety about social status in more equal societies, which means those who fall down the income rank would suffer a less severe drop in well-being.”

Huntington disease (HD) is a debilitating brain disorder that is fatal and incurable. About one in every 7,000 Canadians has HD and approximately one in every 5,500 is at-risk of developing the disease. Many more are touched by HD whether as a caregiver, a family member, or a friend. Huntington disease is often described as having the symptoms of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS – simultaneously. As the disease progresses, a person with Huntington’s become less able to manage movements, recall events, make decisions and control emotions. The disease leads to incapacitation and, eventually, death.
The Huntington Society of Canada (HSC) is a respected leader in the worldwide effort to find a meaningful treatment for Huntington disease. HSC is the only Canadian health charity dedicated to providing help and hope for families dealing with Huntington disease across Canada.
BC PharmaCare Expands Biosimilar Switching Program
Time for Other Provinces to Move Forward with Biosimilar Switching Initiatives
TORONTO, Sept. 6, 2019 /CNW/ - Biosimilars Canada, a national association representing Canada's biosimilar medicines industry, today congratulated the Government of British Columbia for building on the success of its biosimilar switching program and called on other provinces to implement similar programs.
Under the second phase of its biosimilar switching program BC PharmaCare will require patients taking the originator Remicade® infliximab product for the treatment of Crohns and colitis to be "switched" or transitioned by their clinicians to an infliximab biosimilar within a six-month period.
"The decision of the Government of British Columbia to expand its biosimilar switching initiative demonstrates continued confidence in biosimilars as a way to manage costs and fund the expansion of patient drug coverage while supporting positive patient outcomes," said Michel Robidoux, Chair of Biosimilars Canada and President and General Manager of Sandoz Canada.
"Switching to biosimilar treatments is the responsible choice for drug programs, and it is time for other provinces to bring the benefits of biosimilar switching programs to their patients, health care providers and taxpayers," said Jim Keon, President of Biosimilars Canada. "Health Canada is clear in its position that patients and health care providers can have confidence in switching from original biologic treatments to their corresponding biosimilar biologic medicines."
On August 23, 2019 Health Canada published a new Fact Sheet which confirms the safety and efficacy of switching to biosimilar treatments. It states: "In the context of biosimilar use, Health Canada considers switching between authorized products to refer to a change from routine use of one specific product to routine use of another specific product. Biosimilars are authorized by Health Canada for the indications listed in the Product Monograph. Patients and health care providers can have confidence that biosimilars are effective and safe for each of their authorized indications. No differences are expected in efficacy and safety following a change in routine use between a biosimilar and its reference biologic drug in an authorized indication."1
While the use of biosimilar medicines has been well-established in Europe with more than 700 million patient days of use over the past decade, the uptake of these medicines in Canada for chronic treatments has been much slower as public and private payers, with few exceptions, have not actively implemented policy levers to support their use beyond naïve or new patients.
About Biosimilar Medicines2 A biosimilar biologic drug, or biosimilar, is a biologic drug that is highly similar to a biologic drug that was already authorized for sale. Biosimilars are manufactured to the same regulatory standards as other biologic drugs and are authorized after a scientific evaluation by Health Canada. Biosimilars are authorized by Health Canada for the indications listed in the Product Monograph. Patients and health care providers can have confidence that biosimilars are effective and safe for each of their authorized indications. No differences are expected in efficacy and safety following a change in routine use between a biosimilar and its reference biologic drug in an authorized indication.
About Biosimilars Canada Biosimilars Canada is a national association representing the biosimilar medicines industry in Canada. Its member companies are at the forefront of the global development and marketing of biosimilar medicines. Biosimilar medicines are approved by Health Canada as being as safe and efficacious as their reference biologic drugs, and are developed to the same quality standards. Biosimilar medicines present a significant opportunity to embrace cutting-edge therapies while addressing the cost-effectiveness demands on healthcare systems in Canada.

DR. IAN K. SMITH JOINS JETSON AS CHIEF MEDICAL ADVISOR
World’s First Seasonal Probiotic Brand Welcomes New York Times Best-Selling Author & Gut Health Expert to Make 50M Americans Healthier
Chicago, IL – Jetson, the world’s first seasonal probiotic, welcomes Ian K. Smith, MD, a respected physician and #1 New York Times best-selling author, in the newly created role of Chief Medical Advisor. By bringing on Dr. Ian, Jetson founder, Stefan Weitz, is continuing to fulfill his mission to make healthier living attainable for the everyday American.
As Jetson’s Chief Medical Advisor, Dr. Ian will work hand in hand with Stefan, to help people understand that fat diets are not long-term solutions and miracle pills don’t exist. Together they will work with leading laboratories around the world that are pushing the envelope in gut health and its relationship to overall health. As an Ivy League-educated physician, Dr. Ian will focus on the complex, medical aspects of Jetson and contribute scientifically-validated and achievable lifestyle habits to make all Americans healthier.

The genesis of Jetson began several years ago when Stefan was diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease - Multiple Sclerosis. Facing the prospect of being confined to a wheelchair, and early death he turned to a new diet, exercise and probiotics regimen to help keep his immune system in check. It worked and he is now symptom and pain-free.
Stefan wanted to share his findings with others so he enlisted some of the best scientists and health experts in the world and, after synthesizing hundreds of hours of research, Stefan created Jetson - fresh, seasonal and affordable probiotics that he would want to take himself. Stefan knew that in order for Jetson to impact the health of the greater community, he needed to educate the consumer about how to get healthier in an attainable way.
“We have been working on bringing on the right Chief Medical Advisor into Jetson for quite some time. It needed to be someone dedicated to truly changing the way Americans live with an emphasis on gut health because we now know that it is the gateway to better overall health,” said Stefan. “When I read my first book by Dr. Ian and heard him speak, I knew he was our guy. His ability, as a medical expert, to connect with everyday Americans about advancing their health is both impressive and imperative in achieving Jetson’s goal of making America healthier.”

Back to School...and Back to Bullying
One child gently grasps the hand of a crying child as they head into school together. It is a moment of caring and comforting. You may have seen the photograph that recently went viral: https://cnn.it/30K8zU0.
Could anything be more beautiful than that? It almost makes you believe that bullying is an aberration rather than a daily reality for kids, of all ages, everywhere. However, we know that bullying, and its consequences, are in the news every day.
The beginning of a school year is always a time of remembering for me. My middle school experience was a nightmare of kids who wanted to hurt me and adults who abandoned me. I will always recall how it felt. It took me decades to recover and reclaim my peace.
More than anything, the advent of social networking helped. Using technology responsibly allowed me to connect with some of those who hurt me and ensure that I never had to worry about any of those childhood bullies again. It even created an opportunity to enjoy several very much belated friendships with people from my past.
I hope others who experienced bullying at school can heal far more quickly than I did. To help them, I wrote "Getting Past Childhood Bullying: How Adults Can Recover From Trauma That Began at School." It contains the story of my experiences and how, using a four-step program, I was finally able to get beyond the bullying.
As kids go back to school, they'll be making memories. At the same time, this time of year will trigger horrifying recollections and feelings of helplessness for the adults who never got beyond the bullying they suffered. They really could use a proven program for healing. I'd like to send you an evaluation copy of my book. Might that be of interest to you? I'd also be available for an interview. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Regulation of Vaping Products Should Protect Youth, Help Adult Smokers Switch
TORONTO, Sept. 4, 2019 /CNW/ - Vaping products should be regulated to protect youth from nicotine addiction and help adult smokers switch away from cigarettes, Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc. said in a submission today to Health Canada.
RBH's recommendations were submitted to Health Canada as it looks at incoming regulatory measures on the labelling and packaging of vape products.
RBH supports a number of the government proposals to protect public health and safety, including:
New warning labels to identify that vaping is not for youth, not risk-free and contains nicotine, which is addictive;
Nicotine levels be shown in a standardized format that allows adult smokers to make informed choices and understand the differences between products;
Prohibiting the sale of vaping products with nicotine concentrations of 66 mg/mL or more;
Vaping substances to include a list of ingredients on their packaging for standardization and safety; and
Toxicity warnings and child-resistant packaging for certain vaping products.
To that end, RBH proposed two specific changes to the regulation of vape products:
Modify proposed health warnings to state that vaping products contain nicotine and are addictive, are not risk-free but are a better alternative than continuing to smoke; and
Define tobacco vaporizers as vaping products to regulate them appropriately.
RBH's recommendations would allow Health Canada to extend its approach to reducing the health risks of nicotine consumption by continuing to let adult smokers know vaping products are a better alternative than continuing to smoke.
Health Canada recognizes that vaping products deliver nicotine in a much less harmful way than smoking cigarettes. In a statement released on May 31, 2019 the agency said "while vaping products are not intended for non-smokers or young people, smokers who switch completely from cigarettes to vaping products significantly reduce their exposure to dozens of powerful toxins and carcinogens found in cigarette smoke." Vaping product warnings and labels should reflect this reality.
In fact, RBH believes these regulations should be extended and harmonized for other vaping devices heated by a battery, including those that heat (but never burn) tobacco.
Health Canada has set a target to reduce smoking rates to five per cent by the year 2035. RBH believes that with the right technologies and policies this target can be achieved faster.
QUOTES: Peter Luongo, Managing Director, RBH
We support the government's goal of curbing youth vaping to help the next generation set Canada on a path to be smoke-free.
Vaping products are for adult smokers and the packaging and labelling should reflect that fact.
Parents are concerned about vaping. As kids head back to school, Canadians should be aware of the risks.
Health warnings need to communicate effectively the risks of vaping products for non-smokers and youth.
We want to Unsmoke Canada. For change like this to happen we need policy makers, consumers and society in general to all play a role.
The core message of Unsmoke is: if you don't smoke, don't start. If you smoke, quit. If you don't quit, change.
The best choice for any Canadian is to never start smoking or vaping, or to quit entirely.
It's time for a change. Innovation has led to better alternatives for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke cigarettes.
Government rules and regulations should encourage current adult smokers to switch away from cigarettes.
