Why Critical Illness Insurance is better for quick recovery scenarios 🩺💡

Throwing it back to this eye-opening session with our go-to partner Dana Arous from Co-operators ! 💎

Did you know that disability insurance requires a doctor to prove you can't work, while Critical Illness Insurance can pay out even if you're back on your feet in just a couple of weeks? 🩹🚀 Dana breaks down how a quick recovery (like returning to work shortly after a heart procedure) could leave you uncovered by disability policies but fully supported by critical illness protection. 💸🛡️

Why are so many women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s turning to a chiropractor? 🤔✨

Dr. Remy is in her 40s, noticing her own body changing, and she completely gets it! Right now, a huge part of her patient base consists of women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

They are dealing with everything from sudden aches and pains to weight gain and lack of sleep. You might be wondering, why see a chiropractor for this? Because muscle and joint pain are huge symptoms during these stages of life!

While she can't stop menopause or perimenopause from happening, Dr. Remy provides the essential education and care needed to help manage those tough symptoms. Her patients love coming to her because they know she is going through it herself and truly understands! 🫂🤎

🚨 AI in healthcare is affecting real lives and not always for the better.

Did you know tools like pulse oximeters can read inaccurately for people with melanated skin? That’s exactly why this conversation matters.

In this clip, we talk about the very real harm AI bias can cause in healthcare and also a powerful breakthrough: the FDA now using the Munk skin tone test scale to improve skin tone metrics. 👏🏾

Honouring the Legacy of Dr. Juliet Daniels

The BHPN community is deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Juliet Daniels, an extraordinary scientist, leader, and fierce advocate whose work reshaped what equity in research and healthcare looks like.

Since joining McMaster in 1999, she was a driving force in advancing opportunities for Black researchers and women, working tirelessly to ensure they received the funding, support, and prominence they deserved. From her groundbreaking discovery of the Kaiso gene to spearheading the Black Excellence Cohort hire, Juliet didn’t just open doors, she built entirely new pathways for the next generation.

We first came to know Dr. Daniels while seeking a powerful voice to open our 2025 Canada Health Heroes Awards. Her willingness to step into that role spoke to the kind of leader she was: one who consistently showed up for community, visibility, and progress. We are forever grateful to have had her aligned with our mission.

Dr. Daniels’ legacy extends far beyond her research. She invested in people with a strong and fierce love, living by the mission to inspire others and prove that “if she can do it, I can do it too.” Her brilliance created momentum that will carry forward through the countless lives she influenced.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, colleagues, mentees, and the broader community. Her legacy lives on in the doors she opened, the standards she set, and the generations she inspired.

Are you really just "being strong," or are you secretly struggling? 🤔🛑

It is so common for people to not even realize what they are truly experiencing. For many Black people, we are constantly fed the message that we just have to be strong. We take on the role of the strong friend, the strong partner, and the strong cousin. But carrying that heavy weight often masks the reality that we might actually be struggling, feeling depressed, or feeling anxious.

Instead of recognizing it as a mental health challenge, we just think we are failing. On top of dealing with the structural experiences of racism, this pressure to be strong causes us to deny the support of family and friends, and we forget to give ourselves the daily self-compassion we deeply need. It is time to drop the cape and start healing! 🗣️🤎
