The shocking truth about your health | Lissa Rankin | TEDxFiDiWomen

Lissa Rankin, MD is an OB/GYN physician, author, keynote speaker, consultant to health care visionaries, professional artist, and founder of the women's health and wellness community OwningPink.com. Discouraged by the broken, patriarchal health care system, she left her medical practice in 2007 only to realize that you can quit your job, but you can't quit your calling. This epiphany launched her on a journey of discovery that led her to become a leader in the field of mind/body medicine, which she blogs about at OwningPink.com and is writing about in her third book Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof You Can Heal Yourself (Hay House, 2013).

She teaches both patients and health care professionals how to make the body ripe for miracles by healing the mind and being healthy in all aspects of life, not just by promoting healthy behaviors like good nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep, but by encouraging health and authenticity in relationships, work, creative expression, spirituality, sexuality, finances, and living environment. She is leading a revolution to feminize how health care is received and delivered by encouraging collaboration, fostering self-healing, reconnecting health care and spirituality, empowering patients to tap into the mind's power to heal the body, and encouraging women not to settle for being merely well, but to strive for living vital, joyful, authentic lives full of "mojo."

An opportunity to improve wellness, prevention, quality of life: Fred Ferguson at TEDxSBU

Healthcare is chronically ill and the major symptom is escalating costs. Reactive health care cannot address the common chronic health problems that are predictable via lifestyles, habits and common situations challenging individuals and caregivers. The major players of healthcare: consumers, health providers and payors (i.e. insurances and government) do not share values or goals. Poor oral health is the most prevalent chronic health concern and is impacted by threats transparent to overall health and wellness. Beginning at birth, health promotion can be easily facilitated through oral health literacy. A password-protected, consumer-centered, and transparent healthcare interface tracking oral health assessment and dental examination outcomes data can provide consumer autonomy and confidence and healthcare a method for global health guidance and reduction of costs for care management.
