Sleep Awareness Month in March- Learn About Condition that Causes Sleeplessness

Austin Tang — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 14:57:49 +0000

Listen to “Sleep Awareness Month in March- Learn About Condition that Causes Sleeplessness…” on Spreaker.

Sleep Disruptions Impact Mood, Productivity & Stress Levels***

A new survey revealed that adults and caregivers of children aged 2-17 years living with atopic dermatitis (AD), commonly referred to as eczema, experience sleep disruptions attributed to the condition’s hallmark symptom of itching, which negatively impacts their mood, decreases daytime productivity and heightens stress levels.

AD, one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases, affects over 26 million people in the U.S. alone and up to 10% of adults worldwide. AD occurs most frequently in children, affecting up to 20% worldwide.

The prevalence of atopic dermatitis, an extremely burdensome skin condition that negatively impacts the quality of life of patients suffering from AD and the families and caretakers of patients with AD, continues to grow. Dr. John Browning, a pediatric dermatologist, believes that patients need meaningful solutions that go beyond the surface of the skin. This survey underscores how adults with AD and caregivers of children ages 2-17 years with AD feel about the current treatment landscape and their understanding of concerns related to using topical steroids. It also aimed to explore the extent to which AD symptoms disrupt sleep and, consequently, affect daily functioning for both AD patients and their caregivers.

Key findings from the survey among adult patients with AD (n=502) and caregivers of children 2-17 with AD (n=510):
Itch is a top frustration that impacts patients’ and caregivers’ ability to get quality sleep.

89% of adult patients and caregivers of children aged 2-17 years with atopic dermatitis said itch is a top frustration from atopic dermatitis, and 94% said itching is the top symptom that disrupts sleep.

74% of adult patients and caregivers of children aged 2-17 years with atopic dermatitis stated that atopic dermatitis frequently or occasionally impacts their ability to get quality sleep, and 76% claim they have disrupted sleep an average of one to four nights per week.

These sleep disruptions have negative effects on mood (69%), daily routines (54%), daytime focus (51%), daytime productivity (51%) and stress (50%).

A majority of patients apply topicals before bed to ensure a good night’s sleep, however, patients and caregivers of children with AD have concerns about current treatment options.

72% of adult patients and caregivers of children aged 2-17 years with atopic dermatitis apply topicals before bed in an effort to ensure a good night’s sleep.

46% of caregivers of children aged 2-17 years with atopic dermatitis are extremely or very concerned about using topical steroids for their child’s atopic dermatitis.

Most patients and caregivers feel there should be a wider variety of treatment options.

Current topical treatments present issues that disrupt sleep, such as needing time to dry (58%), causing irritation (51%), and feeling uncomfortable (51%).

83% of adult patients and caregivers of children aged 2-17 years with atopic dermatitis said there is an unmet need in current atopic dermatitis treatment options.

Dr. Browning will discuss how itch (the hallmark symptom of atopic dermatitis), significantly disrupts sleep and the pressing need for new, long-term, treatment options to provide itch relief.

“Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts.” – Margaret Mead

Austin Tang — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 17:21:19 +0000

Listen to “"Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts." – Margaret Mead” on Spreaker.

The urge to shield others from harm at times when we feel they may be at risk of harm – whether physical or emotional is not just a basic human instinct; it’s what binds us together.

Just as these Adult Elephants surround their vulnerable young, to protect them from predators, we too often come across situations where our colleagues/loved ones face challenges or find themselves at the brink of potential harm – be it in the form of STRESS, BURNOUT, or dealing with DIFFICULT situations!

Let’s consciously harness this instinct and be vigilant to others’ need for support, protection and compassion as we journey through our week!

The Three Amigos

Austin Tang — Thu, 13 Apr 2023 17:57:10 +0000

Listen to “The Three Amigos…” on Spreaker.

The Three Amigos’s Lorraine Silvetz, Errol Rappaport and Judy Christy Gilbert’s wish was to have as many of their close friends join them to celebrate their March Birthdays.
They got their wish when many of their friends and family rolled into one of New York’s famous restaurants to celebrate with them!
The 3 Amigos don’t just share March birthdays but are advocates for many foundations including Lorraine’s Global Stress Initiative (GSI) under the auspices of the International Committee Against Mental Illness (ICAMI).
ICAMI is the longest standing mental health foundation in the world. GSI focuses on research and treatment for post-traumatic stress disorders in veterans and domestic violence survivors.
Dear friend and GSI spokesperson, 3 Time Emmy Award Winning Anchor and 2 Time NY Times Best Seller, Rita Cosby has served as GSI’s spokesperson since it was founded in 2010.
The Three Amigos and their friends support and serve as Board members for many foundations including Lou Gehrig ALS NYC, Ronald McDonald House, St Francis Food Pantry and Shelter, Career Bridges, Daisy Jopling Music Mentoring Foundation, Mommy’s Heart Foundation, The Veteran’s Association of New York, National Meningitis Association, Operation Warrior Shield, David Lynch Foundation among others.
The Three Amigos’ family and friends “roasted and toasted” them over a buffet dinner and drinks at the famous Dorrian’s Red Hand.
Guests included top scientists, professors, authors, lawyers, actresses, publicists, models, artists, opera singers and well-known TV host Rita Cosby who was named “spokeswoman” lending her “voice” to ICAMI’s GSI while she toured the nation with her NY Times Best Seller,
Quiet Hero.
Amazing artist and friend, Tatyana Horoshko along with her husband, Sasha Gegera gifted her amazing portraits to the Three Amigos in her signature style! The art works WOWED the CROWD and everyone is lining up to be painted by the extraordinary portraitist. The portraitist has donated her art to many foundations including Southampton Animal Shelter, Career Bridges, The Farzana Foundation, Operation Warrior Shield, Mommy’s Heart, Doodles for Hunger Drive, among others.
Everyone was thrilled to be together again since most have rarely seen each other since the pandemic’s inception in 2020.
The Three Amigos’ birthday wish was to have as many of their beloved friends, old and new, celebrate together since it had been so long!! It seems they got their wish and then some!!

precious life is. You have

no desire for drama, conflict

friends, a cozy home, food

on the table and people

who make you happy.

Rachel Tenenbaum lead others in a process she calls P.E.A.C.E. (Pause Embrace Acknowledge Choose Engage)

Austin Tang — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 15:57:16 +0000

Listen to “Rachel Tenenbaum lead others in a process she calls P.E.A.C.E. (Pause Embrace Acknowledge Choose Engage)” on Spreaker.

NeuroTransformational Coach Rachel Tenenbaum teaches leaders how to defuse stress, catapult collaboration, foster innovation, retrain their brain, and lead others in a process she calls P.E.A.C.E. (Pause Embrace Acknowledge Choose Engage).
Tenenbaum, a NeuroTransformational Coach and regular contributor to the meditation app Insight Timer, offers a way toward P.E.A.C.E. for everyone. One Tenenbaum client used her brain-based coaching approach and went from being in debt on a five-figure salary to being debt-free and earning seven figures in just two years.
“I coach high achievers so that they really understand how they can rewire their brains to slow down, mitigate stress, build resilience, foster collaboration, and ignite innovation,” Tenenbaum says. “I’m coaching the people who are changing the future.”
· Move From Stress to P.E.A.C.E. – Even though the holidays are called the most wonderful time of the year, 69% of people are stressed by their perception of a lack of time and money, cites the American Institute of Stress. Tenenbaum, a regular contributor to the meditation app Insight Timer, offers a way towards P.E.A.C.E. to enable coping powerfully with stress. She says when you are stressed, remember the acronym P.E.A.C.E.: (P)ause, (E)mbrace, (A)cknowledge, (C)hoose, and (E)ngage.
· I AM Living – Rachel Tenenbaum’s brand — I AM Living — stands for Intentional, Abundant, Mindful Living. Learn how Tenenbaum coaches leaders to expand their impact by moving beyond reactive tendencies and self-imposed limitations. Spoiler alert: The first step is slowing down.
· Detox Your Life! – This is the ultimate spring cleaning! Whether it’s relationships, habits, or thoughts, Tenenbaum walks you through all that’s toxic in your life and keeping your dreams delayed.
