Through SPEAK for HEALTH webinar series, One Health Edu Inc and Arogyaseva are kicking off Season 4 with a podcast string cycle titled “Vidya Ropana: Holistic Healing through knowledge of Chronic Diseases” on Sunday, February 12, 2023, at 9.30 am EST/8 pm IST. Moderator and host, Dr Dayaprasad Kulkarni, Founder and President of Arogyaseva and Podcast String Cycle director Dr Kris Vijay, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of Arizona, and President of non-profit foundation, Twinepidemic Inc, are excited to invite you to attend and participate in the podcasts that will provide you with many points to ponder, transcend you to grapple your problems with positive energy and embolden you to nurture your body, mind and spirit in newer ways.

Who is this podcast for: For all those with risk factors for chronic disease such as high BP or diabetes or other and for those who seek integrated knowledge of managing life stressors and diseases that spring from them.

Why are we doing this: There are multiple gaps in the knowledge base of the non-medical community and many questions are unanswered. The causes of gaps include lack of time healthcare provider spends with education of patients and information not appropriately transferred to the patient and families, clinician recommendations not fitting into patients’ daily routines or living contexts, and availability of too much unfiltered information through social media. The consequences of these gaps include increased cognitive and physical workload on the patient, poor patient satisfaction, and compromised adherence to the therapy plan and sometimes rendering harm.
