Sleep and Me: The Correlation Between Health and Rest
Do you have trouble sleeping? Or do you sleep for hours and still wake up tired? Chances are, there’s something going on with your physical health. In fact, millions of people with an underlying health condition have trouble sleeping.
When you sleep, your physical, mental, and emotional wellness improve. The bodily functions that depend on getting enough sleep start to decline with insomnia, so it's best to find the remedy as soon as possible. Everything from CPAP machines to lifestyle changes can lead to better rest.
Stress
Never underestimate the negative impact stress has on your health. While some stress is healthy, constantly raising your cortisol levels can be detrimental to your overall wellness. When you’re stressed, your body has to work harder, which means you can’t afford to lose sleep. Otherwise, it becomes a never-ending cycle.
Stress-related insomnia can be solved in a number of ways. For one, try aromatherapy. Essential oils like chamomile and lavender are natural ways to calm down and improve your quality of sleep. You can also focus on creating strategies to resolve what’s triggering your anxiety symptoms. If necessary, don’t hesitate to seek a professional opinion for relief.
Health Conditions
Maybe a health condition is responsible for your inability to sleep. For instance, pregnancy, breathing problems, and even aging can lead to insomnia. In some cases, the medication you take can affect the quantity and quality of sleep.
If your sleep deprivation is medical-related, you’ll likely need to begin or modify your medication. If you’re unsure that you have a medical condition, start with a professional diagnosis to narrow down remedies.
Sleep Disorder
Unlike other health conditions, sleep disorders are guaranteed to make sleep difficult. Not only does this impact your health, but it can also hinder your daily productivity. The inability to concentrate or stay awake can even be life-threatening in some cases. Some disorders like sleep apnea can make it difficult for you to breathe normally while you are asleep. CPAP machines are designed to regulate your breathing so that you can sleep soundly without any interruptions. You may want to consider using a CPAP machine if you notice that you tend to snore at night.
Your remedy directly correlates with the severity of your condition. Keep in mind, you can become resistant to some solutions like medication, so constantly work with your physician for proper treatment.
Sleep impacts everything, from your overall health to your mood. Therefore, you must take care of your body as well as find appropriate remedies for your sleep deprivation to create overall wellness. Whether the solution involves simple everyday lifestyle changes, natural remedies, or medical intervention, invest the necessary resources into treating your sleep-related issues as soon as you can.

Ontario Government Continues to Ignore Patients' Calls to Properly Fund Eye Care
Optometrists willing to enter mediation to protect patients' access to eye care
TORONTO, Aug. 9, 2021 /CNW/ - The Ontario government has once again refused to fund OHIP-insured eye care at least to the cost of delivery, even though 100,000 patients have sent letters asking them to do so.
"The outpouring of support from patients is the reason why we have been working around the clock to try and save publicly funded eye care for children and seniors", says Dr. Sheldon Salaba, President of the Ontario Association of Optometrists. "We are disappointed that it took this level of public pressure for the government to finally reach out".
After eight months, the Ministry of Health agreed to meet with the OAO. On August 5th, the OAO proposed a formal negotiations process that included a commitment that optometrists no longer be forced to subsidize the delivery of eye care to OHIP patients. This principle of cost recovery was immediately rejected by the Ministry. After one meeting, the Ministry declared an impasse.
Despite all this, optometrists continue to have their patients' best interests and the sustainability of the publicly funded optometry system at heart. For this reason, the OAO is willing to immediately begin intensive mediation with a third party mediator in an effort to achieve an agreement with the Ministry.
"We want to provide Ontarians with the high-quality eye care that they deserve", added Dr. Salaba. "We're just looking for fairness from the government."
The OAO remains committed to the principle that any agreement must ensure that, at a minimum, the compensation that an optometrist receives for providing insured services covers the overhead and operating costs of those services. Until the government commits to this principle, the September 1st deadline for service withdrawal remains in place.
"The fact is there has been hardly any change to OHIP fees for eye exams in over 30 years", noted Dr. Salaba. "We are not willingly leaving OHIP – the government is pushing us out."
ABOUT THE ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF OPTOMETRISTS: The Ontario Association of Optometrists (OAO) is the leading professional organization, representing over 1,800 optometrists. We are dedicated to helping our members provide the highest standard of eye health and vision care for Ontarians while driving the profession of optometry forward.

Rocket Doctor and Switch Health Partner to Expand Research to Study the Effect of COVID-19 on Lungs from the Comfort of Patients' Homes
Patient-focused partnership will monitor changes to lung health remotely with a virtual physician and an at-home lung ultrasound device.
TORONTO, Aug. 5, 2021 /CNW/ - Rocket Doctor and Switch Health today announced that they are partnering to expand a research study monitoring changes to lung health remotely with an at-home lung ultrasound device under the guidance of a physician. Team members at Rocket Doctor began exploring this project during the peak of the 1st wave last Spring, and partnered with Switch Health to engage new participants who have recently tested positive for COVID-19. Those patients that test positive will be given the opportunity to participate in the lung study and be part of pivotal research to provide better care to Canadians that test positive for COVID-19.
Volunteer participants that choose to be part of the study will enroll in the program and be sent a Butterfly iQ+ Health Canada approved at-home point-of-care lung ultrasound device. They will meet with a Rocket Doctor physician, remotely, from the comfort of their home to assess their clinical symptoms including access to an oxygen saturation probe with standard remote patient monitoring. In a parallel session, they will be guided to use the ultrasound device to monitor their lung activity by Sunnybrook Emergency Physicians. Physicians will book a daily follow-up appointment with patients during their 14 days of quarantine to monitor their lung health.
"Partnering with such a like-minded health tech company is a tremendous opportunity for us to help Canada study the effect of COVID-19 on patients' lungs in real-time without the inconvenience of having to travel to doctors' offices or hospitals," said Dilian Stoyanov, Chief Executive Officer at Switch Health. "Our mutual focus on empowering patients and re-tooling how Canadians receive healthcare is another giant step in the future of remote diagnostic capability in Canada."
"At Rocket Doctor we're transforming the way health care is delivered by bringing the most advanced doctor's office directly to patients combined with comprehensive virtual care." said Dr. William Cherniak, Founder & CEO at Rocket Doctor. "This study gives us an opportunity to demonstrate how we can deliver a high-quality standard of care remotely by pairing advanced diagnostic tools with expert clinicians. It also will hopefully shed light on ways to keep patients safe at home and out of the Emergency Department, while ensuring that anyone in need of critical care are sent to emergency straight away."
The opportunity to participate in the study will be communicated directly to patients who seek testing through one of Switch Health's private clinics located in Ontario.
Switch Health has been at the forefront of Canada's fight against COVID-19 with their at-home COVID-19 testing solutions and clinical operations, and are playing an equally important role in Canada's recovery with their recently launched AuraPass, a groundbreaking vaccine and testing verification system.

Ontario's doctors support vaccination certificates
TORONTO, Aug. 4, 2021 /CNW/ - Ontario's doctors are calling on the province to create a vaccination certificate that could be used by employers and private businesses such as restaurants.
The Ontario Medical Association says a government-issued certificate would be a secure and verifiable document that businesses, employers and others could rely on to know their customers, employees, colleagues and others have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
An OMA survey released today found that 93 per cent of Ontario doctors who responded favour some sort of COVID vaccination certificate.
A vaccination certificate, often called a "passport," could be an electronic certificate with a paper option for those without computers.
It might also be acceptable for some travel purposes while the federal government develops a documentation framework for international travel. The OMA urges Ottawa to develop one as soon as possible.
"Our road to recovery includes ensuring that Ontarians feel safe to travel and to frequent restaurants, gyms and other small businesses," said OMA President Dr. Adam Kassam." Vaccine certificates and passports provide one of many policy levers to help with this, and provincial and federal governments have the ability to make this a reality."
The Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table said this week that vaccination certificates could be useful in reopening higher-risk settings such as indoor dining, gyms and cultural or sporting events earlier and at greater capacity. They said provincial governments may want to consider developing a common version.
The OMA says the best way to stop the spread of COVID-19, especially the highly contagious Delta variant, and prevent a resurgence of the pandemic is for everyone to get vaccinated as quickly as possible.
The OMA has also taken the position that all health-care workers should be vaccinated to protect themselves, their patients and their community.
It's time to change Ontario's health care for the better as the post-pandemic recovery begins. Complete our survey at betterhealthcare.ca and help shape the future of health care.
About the OMA
The Ontario Medical Association represents Ontario's 43,000 plus physicians, medical students and retired physicians, advocating for and supporting doctors while strengthening the leadership role of doctors in caring for patients. Our vision is to be the trusted voice in transforming Ontario's health-care system.

Canada Still Lags Behind Other Countries in Tackling Seafood Fraud
Oceana Canada’s latest DNA investigation reveals almost half of seafood samples were mislabelled; new polling shows Canadians are overwhelmingly concerned about Canada’s poorly regulated seafood supply chain
TORONTO, Aug. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The results of Oceana Canada’s latest seafood fraud investigation, released today and part of the most comprehensive, national, multi-year DNA testing study in Canada, reveals that 46 per cent of seafood samples tested in restaurants and grocery stores in four major Canadian cities were mislabelled. These results demonstrate yet again that Canada has a pervasive and unchecked seafood fraud problem, putting Canadians, honest fishers, ocean ecosystems and our seafood economy at risk.
Given widespread concern among Canadians and a lack of government progress in developing a seafood traceability system, Oceana Canada revisited some of the cities where it had previously sampled seafood. Forty-six per cent of the samples from Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto were mislabelled (43 out of 94). This is just one percentage point off from the 47 per cent mislabelling rate found among 472 samples Oceana Canada tested between 2017 and 2019, and consistent with earlier studies in Canada and globally.
New market research also released today, conducted by Abacus Data for Oceana Canada, found that Canadians overwhelmingly support seafood traceability and want the government to act. Eighty-seven per cent are concerned about purchasing seafood that is mislabelled, up from 76 per cent in 2020, and 86 per cent are concerned about the government’s failure to address seafood mislabelling and illegal fishing in Canada.
The Canadian government committed to implementing a boat-to-plate seafood traceability system in 2019, which would bring Canada more in line with widely accepted global best practices; however, it has still not put forward a plan or timeline for doing so. Until this happens, Canadians have no guarantee that the seafood they eat is safe, legally caught or honestly labelled. Oceana Canada is calling on the government to act now on its commitment by developing a solution that is mandatory, comprehensive, harmonizes with our trading partners and meets global best practices.
“Buying fish shouldn’t be a guessing game. Canadians deserve to have confidence in the seafood they eat,” said Sayara Thurston, Seafood Fraud Campaigner. “As other parts of the world strengthen existing traceability systems or develop new ones, Canada falls even further behind. The federal government committed to addressing this almost two years ago but has not made any real progress. The situation is clear, and given the lack of progress, unsurprising: seafood mislabelling is still rampant across Canada.”
Key testing results:
Mislabelling rates by city: Montreal: 52 per cent, Ottawa: 50 per cent, Toronto: 50 per cent, Halifax: 32 per cent.
Overall, there were 10 instances where products labelled as butterfish or tuna were escolar, which can cause acute gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting and nausea and is banned from sale in several countries.
One of the species of fish is not authorized to be sold in Canada.
Among the 13 samples labelled snapper, seven were tilapia, which is a much cheaper species.
All the samples of butterfish, yellowtail and white tuna were mislabelled (24 samples in total)
The mislabelling rate among retailers was 6.5 per cent, lower than the 25 per cent combined average from Oceana Canada’s previous studies. The mislabelling rate among restaurants increased from 56 per cent to 65 per cent. Because of Canada’s opaque seafood supply chains, retailers and restaurants can themselves be victims of fraud, and even correctly labelled products could have been fished illegally or unknowingly sourced from forced labour.
“Seafood is a high-risk product for food fraud; this includes mislabelling, but also illegal products making their way into supply chains,” said Thurston. “Seafood is one of the most highly traded food commodities in the world, and complex supply chains can mask illegal fishing, seafood fraud, human rights abuses and cost millions in tax revenue lost from the legitimate economy. Boat-to-plate traceability would protect Canadian consumers, honest fishers and vulnerable fish populations, and help Canada’s seafood industry maintain access to global markets – some of which already demand stronger traceability.”
The European Union and the United States have traceability schemes in place for their seafood and Japan is developing one now. Canada does not require that seafood include information proving its origin, legality or sustainability status. Experience from other countries shows that boat-to-plate traceability regulations work to stop fraud and protect both consumers and our oceans.
Oceana Canada’s 2020 report on illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing practices found that Canada is also losing millions of dollars each year because of our murky seafood supply chains. Canadians are spending up to $160 million a year on seafood caught through illegal fishing and Canada is losing up to $93.8 million in tax revenue each year due to the illicit trade of seafood products.

Oceana Canada was established as an independent charity in 2015 and is part of the largest international advocacy group dedicated solely to ocean conservation. Oceana Canada has successfully campaigned to end the shark fin trade, make rebuilding depleted fish populations the law, improve the way fisheries are managed and protect marine habitat. We work with civil society, academics, fishers, Indigenous Peoples and the federal government to return Canada’s formerly vibrant oceans to health and abundance. By restoring Canada’s oceans, we can strengthen our communities, reap greater economic and nutritional benefits and protect our future.
How to Navigate Beyond Trauma and Emerge Stronger than Before
Los Angeles, CA, August 4, 2021 — Personal trauma can take many forms, including what Dr. Randall Bell calls the “difficult Ds”: death, divorce, disease, disaster, and destruction. But any circumstances that you’re having difficulty processing and moving beyond can be considered trauma, he explains.
“Trauma affects us all at some point in time,” Dr. Bell said. “But the good news is, we can get through it and actually heal from it.”
In his latest book, Post-Traumatic Thriving: The Art, Science, & Stories of Resilience, Dr. Bell draws upon his decades of experience and scientific research to deliver a three-stage framework — Dive, Survive and Thrive — that can help readers process their trauma, make the conscientious decision to accept help and move forward, and eventually, tap into the energy generated by that trauma to achieve more than they ever thought possible.
In Post-Traumatic Thriving, he shares stories of real people (many of them, like Leo Fender, are familiar) who were able to move beyond trauma and thrive in the aftermath, including:
• A deaf man with a glass eye invented the electric guitar and became a household name, remarkably wealthy and most importantly, happy.
• A convicted murderer took responsibility for the damage he caused, graduated with honors from college, became a minister and turned around the hearts of the most hardened criminals.
• A girl born with cerebral palsy landed the world’s first starring role on national television and spoke at the White House three times.
• A woman hid in a basement for years and lost her entire family in the Holocaust. She eventually found true love and paints stunning artwork.
• The sister of a murder victim helped millions of women in toxic domestic relationships.
• A woman’s car crash resulted in an addiction to prescription drugs, a divorce, a loss of her children and a cot in a homeless shelter. She has rebuilt it all back and more.
• A man set to go to the Olympics had his hopes dashed by Jimmy Carter and went on to build a worldwide business empire.
Dr. Bell juxtaposes outcomes of scientific studies with these stories to reveal common denominators among “thrivers,” revealing to readers a healthy path toward healing and a life where post-traumatic thriving is possible.
As a socio-economist, Dr. Randall Bell has consulted on more disasters on earth than anyone in history. His clients include the Federal Government, State Governments, International Tribunals, major corporations and homeowners. Dr. Bell believes that “the problem is not the problem — the problem is how we react to the problem.”
Often called the “Master of Disaster,” Dr. Bell is squarely focused on authentic recovery and resilience. His research has been profiled on major television shows and featured in numerous magazines and the international media. More information can be found at www.posttraumaticthriving.com.

Caregiver’s Journey Reinforces Faith in God’s Presence
LOS ANGELES, CA, August 3, 2021 — Caring for an ailing parent is a challenge many of us will face. For 22 months, Lisa Roseman devoted herself to caring for her dying mother. As she learned to navigate her new life as a sole caregiver, Roseman battled depression and exhaustion; she struggled to connect with her mother, only to be met by rejection; and, in her weakest moments, she questioned her faith.
In The Highest of Care: A Journey Through Cancer, Roseman offers hope in the face of terminal illness, denial and the reality of death. The book details the healing journey of Roseman's relationship with her mother, rife with lack of communication and power struggles. With the patience of a saint, Roseman dedicated her life to her mother’s care, relying on God to help guide her in becoming the heart-centered caretaker her mother needed. And just when she needed it most, Roseman experienced a supernatural display of God's promise of eternal life.
The Highest of Care offers comfort and hope to those undertaking the difficult task of caring for a loved one. Messages from God along the journey, including a message in the form of a lion on the wall above her mother’s bed, strengthened Roseman’s faith and affirmed that life is eternal. At the end of her mother’s life, she saw the lion reappear, gently guiding her mother into the afterlife. This profound experience facilitated a Divine awakening for Roseman, enveloped with God’s love.
As Roseman recalls, “I didn’t know that a book would come out of that 22-month-long season. It wasn’t until the end of her life, when a miracle happened, that I knew the story had to be told.” Through the powerful Christian prayer model she discovered years before, Sozo prayer, she broke through and found the courage and inner peace needed to continue caring for her mother and to begin practicing self-care.
The Highest of Care is filled with hope, reminding readers that messages from God are possible—in everyday life and in the miraculous—and all you need is to look for them.
About Lisa M. Roseman Lisa M. Roseman, M.T.S., is a theologian, a lay counselor, and an author with the mission of assisting people toward transformation and inner healing—spiritually, emotionally and relationally. She is the founder of Sozo Freedom, an inner healing ministry in Southern California. Roseman has helped hundreds of people experience deep inner healing in various settings, including private mentorship, group counseling, addiction recovery and her church congregation.
