What Is Healthcare? Let's Examine Its Definition.
How do you define healthcare? A current definition of healthcare is the maintenance and improvement of physical and mental health, primarily through medical services.
According to this definition and others like it, the term 'healthcare' skews toward the Medical Care and Services industry through health services providers more than individual personal care or self-maintenance. Also, it omits pharmacists. Insurers currently do not classify pharmacists as providers, yet they spend enormous time assisting and educating countless patients. It's time to recognize the invaluable role of pharmacists in healthcare and redefine healthcare to include their contributions.
Current definitions collectively imply that an individual's preventive and proactive regimen, whether successful or not, is not acknowledged in healthcare. A clear emphasis exists that billable medical services are the only representation of legitimate healthcare. While these services fulfill valuable societal needs and are of great benefit, they are reactionary and rendered in response to adverse situations. This interpretation invokes a sincere desire and need to replace "health care" with the more applicable term of "repair care" or "disease care."
If the notion that healthcare needs redefining is too much to swallow or digest, then chew on the need for individuals to take a more proactive role in their healthcare. Ask yourself if healthcare should be reactive, proactive, or both. Should healthcare be redefined? We certainly think so and are making our concerted efforts to awaken healthcare to conscious individualized care of health.

Approximately 60% of adults in the United States have at least one chronic disease, such as heart disease, diabetes, or arthritis. Many of these diseases are preventable, and their prevalence can vary by age, lifestyle, and other factors. While the numbers may differ globally, chronic diseases represent a significant health issue in many populations.
Around 30% of adults in the United States have two or more chronic diseases. This prevalence tends to increase with age, and factors such as lifestyle and socioeconomic status play essential roles. Globally, trends can vary, but the issue of multimorbidity is becoming a growing concern in many health systems.
Chronic diseases and their associated risk factors cost U.S. employers an estimated $36 billion to $50 billion annually due to lost productivity and healthcare expenses. These costs include absenteeism, presenteeism (reduced productivity while at work), and increased healthcare premiums. The financial impact varies depending on the specific chronic conditions and the industry.
Chronic diseases and their risk factors reduce economic output by an estimated $1.1 trillion annually in the U.S. due to lost productivity from absenteeism and presenteeism. This estimate includes costs associated with employees missing workdays and being less productive. However, Synergy Saturday can significantly mitigate this economic impact through effective prevention and management strategies.
When people feel better, they perform better. Or, as we say, people do better as they feel better. Our objective is to help you achieve better health naturally and synergistically. Remember: health is wealth, and wealth is health. Good health is vital for obtaining, maintaining, and sustaining wealth! Our screenings are free, and your personalized health consultation is invaluable. By improving your health, we contribute to enhancing the overall economy, creating true legacy wealth.
Synergy Saturday's mission is to shift one's paradigm about preventive care to create a culture of healthy attitudes and behaviors in participating communities.

Intro to Food As Medicine (FAM)
Food As Medicine (FAM) is a concept that involves using food and nutrition to prevent and treat various health conditions. This approach emphasizes the importance of consuming a healthy and balanced diet to support overall well-being and to manage specific health issues.
FAM is based on the idea that certain foods contain unique compounds that can have a positive impact on the body and its functions. For example, fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and prevent cell damage. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and nuts are known for their heart-healthy benefits, and probiotics in fermented foods can support gut health.
In addition to individual nutrients, FAM also promotes the consumption of whole, unprocessed foods and the avoidance of highly processed and sugary foods. The emphasis is on eating a variety of nutrient-dense foods that support overall health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Food As Medicine is often used in conjunction with traditional medical treatments and can be particularly beneficial for managing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and digestive issues. It can also be used to support overall health and well-being, providing the body with the nutrients it needs to function optimally.
Overall, FAM encourages individuals to view food as a powerful tool for promoting health and preventing disease, and to make mindful choices about the foods they consume on a daily basis.

The Need for Food As Medicine
Chronic diseases are diet-related diseases such as Hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity, plus certain cancers. These diseases are not limited to low-to-no-income statuses; however, this population grows more prevalent as food deserts, food shortages, clinic/shelter closures, supply-chain disruption, and lack of fundamental human rights rise.
Synergy Saturday is built on the belief that people do better as they feel better or simply thrive when they feel their best. Therefore, we are committed to combating food insecurity with a comprehensive Whole of Wellness (WOW) approach infused with compassion, dignity, and passion. We understand that food insecurity is not just a matter of hunger, but it is directly linked to poor mental and physical health, preventable chronic diseases, and is a visible manifestation of poverty. Our approach is designed to address the following interconnected issues and make a lasting impact on our community:

Breaking the Cycle: The Interdependence of Food As Medicine and Food Insecurity
Koala-fication™ System
The Food As Medicine program is generally interdependent on food insecurity, meaning the two issues are interconnected and influence each other. Here's why:
In conclusion, Food As Medicine programs are most effective when they account for and address food insecurity. The close link between these challenges in public health underscores the urgency of addressing both issues. The programs are interdependent in that the prevalence of food insecurity can impact the Food As Medicine program's success. In contrast, the FAM program can help alleviate food insecurity and its health consequences.
Synergy Saturday qualifies, quantifies, and enrolls eligible patients for much-needed intervention programs with our proprietary Koala-fication™ System, a play on words for a qualification system. Koalas have a highly developed sense of hearing and smell. Similarly, we pay close attention to our patients, listening carefully to their needs and concerns. Our app identifies and 'sniffs out' any eligible factors that may make them qualify for specific intervention programs. With their permission, we can enroll them in these programs to provide them with the help they need.
Our FAM program's focus is inclusive of the following:
- Food Insecurity and Health Outcomes: Food insecurity—when people lack consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life—can contribute to poor health outcomes. However, there is hope. By improving the nutritional quality of people's diets, Food As Medicine programs, like ours, can significantly reduce the impact of food insecurity on health. These programs seek to address health disparities, particularly chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, which poor-quality diets often exacerbate.
- Role of Food As Medicine Programs: These programs are crucial in providing access to healthy, nutritious food for individuals experiencing or at risk of food insecurity. They aim to prevent, manage, or treat chronic illnesses by promoting access to the right foods. In this way, Food As Medicine programs address health disparities and directly tackle the root cause of these disparities-food insecurity. The program's success relies on overcoming barriers contributing to food insecurity, like affordability and accessibility of healthy food.
- Interdependency: The relationship between Food As Medicine programs and food insecurity is not one-sided. Food insecurity can reduce the effectiveness of Food As Medicine programs if individuals need access to or cannot afford the nutritious food needed. Conversely, Food As Medicine programs can mitigate food insecurity over time by improving access to healthy food. This interdependency underscores the fact that addressing one issue requires addressing the other.
In conclusion, Food As Medicine programs are most effective when they account for and address food insecurity. The close link between these challenges in public health underscores the urgency of addressing both issues. The programs are interdependent in that the prevalence of food insecurity can impact the Food As Medicine program's success.

Our FAM program's focus is inclusive of the following:
- Food distribution at our clinic location
- Gift cards for patients to purchase healthy food
- Patient education (About how food impacts chronic diseases and implementation of FDA-approved meal programs, such as the DASH diet for Hypertension and the Diabetes Plate Method)
Best FAM Meal Plan Methods That Work
|
The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet plan helps people with hypertension to lower blood pressure and LDL (low-density lipoproteins), sometimes called the “bad” cholesterol. Its benefits also include:
Manage your blood sugar using the Diabetes Plate method to create healthy meals. With this method, there's no need for calculating, counting, measuring, or weighing! The benefit is you can easily prepare meals with perfect portions and a balanced mix of carbohydrates, protein, and vegetables. Serve your meal on a plate and enjoy eating your way to wellness! |
|
Our Diabetes Plate method comes with a simple guide to use your hand for meal portioning or portion control. Meal portioning is crucial for several reasons:
Overall, effective meal portioning supports both physical health and well-being. If abnormal (ABN) readings for hypertension or diabetes are discovered during our FREE health screening service, our patients get a FREE copy of either plan or both to help manage their chronic illness. If a patient wants to prevent the onset of either chronic disease, these same meal plan methods apply and can be requested.
- Weight Management: Proper portion sizes can help control calorie intake, making maintaining or achieving a healthy weight easier.
- Nutritional Balance: Understanding portion sizes empowers you to take control of your diet, ensuring that you consume appropriate amounts of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and grains for a balanced diet.
- Prevention of Overeating: Portioning is a powerful tool for preventing overeating. Being mindful of portions can reduce the likelihood of overeating, which is linked to various health issues, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
- Improved Digestion: Eating smaller, well-portioned meals can aid digestion and prevent discomfort associated with large meals.
- Mindful Eating: Portioning encourages a more conscious approach to eating, allowing you to savor your food and better recognize your body's hunger and fullness cues, leading to a profoundly satisfying eating experience.
- Budgeting: Proper portioning can help manage food costs by minimizing waste and encouraging the use of ingredients in a balanced way, giving you more control over your budget.
- Sustainability: By promoting appropriate portion sizes, meal planning can contribute to more sustainable food consumption patterns, reducing the environmental impact.
Overall, effective meal portioning supports both physical health and well-being. If abnormal (ABN) readings for hypertension or diabetes are discovered during our FREE health screening service, our patients get a FREE copy of either plan or both to help manage their chronic illness.

How Coffee Consumption Supports Digestive Health
Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus (L. asaccharolyticus) is a bacterium primarily known for its role in the gut microbiome, particularly in humans. While research on this specific bacterium is still ongoing, there are several potential benefits associated with its presence or activity:
- Gut Health and Digestion: Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus is believed to significantly impact the digestion of complex carbohydrates, particularly in environments where other bacteria may not be as efficient. Its potential to break down specific molecules that other gut microbes can't could significantly improve digestion, a fascinating area for further exploration.
- Microbial Balance: Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, like many other microbes in the gut, may play a crucial role in maintaining the overall balance of the microbiota. Its potential to contribute to a more diverse microbial ecosystem, often associated with better health outcomes, including improved immunity and reduced inflammation, offers a hopeful perspective on its health benefits.
- Production of Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs): Many gut bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, acetate, and propionate, which are beneficial for gut health. SCFAs support gut lining integrity, reduce inflammation, and serve as an energy source for colonocytes (cells in the colon). While it's not definitively proven for L. asaccharolyticus, many bacteria with similar characteristics are involved in SCFA production, which could be a potential benefit.
- Immune System Modulation: Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, by contributing to the overall microbiome, may play a significant role in modulating immune responses. Its potential to help regulate the immune system, potentially lowering the risk of autoimmune conditions and enhancing the body's ability to fight infections, offers a reassuring perspective on its potential benefits.
- Protection Against Pathogenic Microbes: Some beneficial gut bacteria, including those like Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, may help inhibit the growth of harmful or pathogenic microbes by competing for space and nutrients, producing antimicrobial substances, or modulating immune responses.

Coffee to Reduce Risk of Type 2 Diabetes?: a Systematic Review
Excerpt:
The review included 13 cohort studies, 47,387 participants, and 9,473 type 2 diabetes incident cases. We compared the risk of diabetes amongst people with different degrees of coffee consumption. We concluded that habitual coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
Participants who drank 4 to 6 cups and more than 6 to 7 cups of coffee per day had a lower risk of type 2 diabetes than those who drank less than 2 cups per day. We noted the following advantages:
However, based on this review, increasing coffee consumption as a public health strategy can't be recommended. More detailed studies of coffee consumption, including appropriate postprandial hyperglycemia and insulin sensitivity measures, are required.

Alkaline Water Is the Best Water
SOURCES: Center for Advancement in Cancer Education (beatcancer.org), World Health Organization (WHO), and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
Since we are made of cells and are 70% water, our improved health comes from Nature’s commonly-supplied element of water in the following ways:
Cancer begins in your cells (the basic units of life) and thrives in acidity:
Healthful water has important properties:
Alkaline water contains a higher oxygen-to-hydrogen ratio than regular water, has extra electrons (a healthful negative change), and contains hydroxyl ions (free radical scavengers). Water is essential to establish and maintain proper acid-alkaline balance. Poor quality diet, stress, environmental toxins and medications can make our metabolic pH (potential Hydrogen) become too acidic.
Drinking alkaline water is quickest way to impact our health positively and eliminate inflammation caused by excess acidity. Water with a 9.5 pH can alkalinize the body on a cellular basis and assist the blood stream to maintain its optimum pH. The benefits of alkalinity are:
Ideal size of water molecules for optimum cellular hydration and detoxification is less than six (6) clustered molecules, which alkaline water achieves due to ionization process. In a Japanese research with 40,000 chickens, it was found that in only 15 days cancerous tumors were reduced by 50% in categories of number, size and weight with the alkaline water group versus regular water group.
- Quality hydration for optimal weight, energy, performance and disease protection
- Nutrient transportation required for cell metabolism
- Removal of waste substances that can harm cells
- Flushing eliminatory organs to prevent accumulation of chemicals and other toxins
Cancer begins in your cells (the basic units of life) and thrives in acidity:
- Sugar feeds cancer
- Cancer cells love sugar (refined carbohydrates like white sugar, white flour, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and soft drinks) because they feed tumors and encourage growth
- Cancer loves an acidic environment, of which sugar provides
Healthful water has important properties:
- Purification
- Oxygenation/Antioxidant Potential
- Micro-clustering
- Alkalinity

WHY Laminine? | Wealth. Health. Youth.
SOURCES: LAF Productions, Inc., LifePharm Global Network (LPGN), and PDR.Net
WHY Laminine? Here are 3 quick reasons WHY: (1) Wealth; (2) Health; and (3) Youth. Laminine is truly Nature's perfect supplement for mental, physical and emotional health ... naturally. Discover Laminine for yourself. Again, we are made of cells and are 70% water. Laminine is an all-natural source for new healthy cells. Also, it nourishes, repairs and replaces aged or worn out cells.
Laminine is an extract derived from fertilized organic hen eggs at a critical stage of incubation (on the 9th day). The use of fertilized egg extracts in medicine and nutrition dates back to 1929, and scientific studies on this unique supplement have been published in numerous peer-review journals. Laminine is cholesterol-free and fat-free, as it is a lyophilized (freeze-dried) non-denatured extract of the whites of hens' eggs raised under organic or free-range standards in Norway, where salmonella is virtually non-existent.
In 1929 Canadian Dr. John R. Davidson discovered an extract derived from tissue in fertilized hen eggs at a precise point during the incubation period. He originally used the extract as direct injections in the treatment of his cancer patients with winning results until his untimely death. It wasn't until almost 50 years later that the pursuit of fertilized egg extract was revived by Norway's foremost expert on egg research, Dr. Bjodne Eskeland. He hypothesized that partially-incubated, fertilized hen eggs contained a unique combination of amino acids, peptides and protein fractions that could help provide an incredible array of health benefits upon consumption.

MEDICARE PLANS: AARP® and UnitedHealthcare® Medicare Solutions
UnitedHealthcare® Medicare Solutions plans include Medicare Advantage plans with UnitedHealthcare® or AARP® brand names (such as AARP® MedicareComplete®). Plans offer combinations of benefits and features designed to fit a wide variety of budgets and healthcare needs. Remember that plans are area or region specific. Your effective search begins with the simple entry of your zip code.
All Medicare Advantage plans insured by UnitedHealthcare® cover preventive services for a $0 copayment. Covered preventive screenings are:
The most common types of health screenings are: (1) High Cholesterol; (2) Colon Cancer; (3) Diabetes; and (4) Glaucoma. In addition to prolonging your life, knowing your healthcare numbers and being proactive regarding your health, you can get a $15 reward (gift card) for each annual physical or wellness visit fulfilled. You just have to self-report to your plan when done.
HELPFUL HINT: Do not sell yourself on a plan based on benefits, premiums and deductibles alone. Your overall plan spend is heavily dependent on your medications: (1) brands vs. generics; (2) dosage, quantity and frequency; (3) drug tier levels and ensuing deductibles; (4) drug prices; and (5) plan-preferred pharmacy selection. If you desire cost-savings and want to alleviate looming fears of the unknown, utilize the Drug Cost Estimator tool of the websites below. Also, check to know if your providers (primary care physicians (PCP) and specialists) are In-Network or Out-of-Network as it relates to your plan. Just input your zip code and select the Find Plans button. Knowing the bottom line will help you choose the right plan ... every time. Now you have a fighting chance to control your healthcare costs, manage your budget and eliminate pricing surprises.
