    Should You Let Your Health Insurance Access Your Smartwatch

    This week on the show we're asking a question about health insurance: with so many companies rolling out wellness programs, offering free Fitbits or Apple Watches, should you enroll?

    Navigating COVID-19

    This week we wanted to take a step back and look at the outbreak of COVID-19 in the US. With a lot of information and misunderstandings wizzing around, we wanted to help answer some of the basic questions. Note: Parts of this episode were recorded on March 14th, 2020. While a lot has changed, particularly in New York, we wanted to let you know that Katy, who we interviewed in this episode is now self isolating and only training clients online.

    Taking Care of Mental Health During Cancer Treatment

    This week we wanted to share some resources with you for a tough topic. Studies suggest that we don't talk about mental health as much as we should, especially during something as taxing as cancer treatment. So we got some tips from the CDC to help you talk about your needs. You can learn more on the CDC's website: https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/survivors/index.htm (https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/survivors/index.htm) If you're enjoying our show, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to keep us on the air at: http://www.reneecfrink.org/ (http://www.reneecfrink.org/) And don't forget to follow us on Twitter @finding_podcast Sources: https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/survivors/health-care-providers/mental-health-care-prov-ed.htm (Provider Education for Mental Health Care of Cancer Survivors (P-EMHCCS) Training)(https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/survivors/health-care-providers/mental-health-care-prov-ed.htm (https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/survivors/health-care-providers/mental-health-care-prov-ed.htm)) CDC offers a list of free and confidential resources that can help patients and their caregivers connect with skilled, trained counselors (https://www.cdc.gov/mentalhealth/tools-resources/individuals/index.htm (https://www.cdc.gov/mentalhealth/tools-resources/individuals/index.htm)) Additional information and post-treatment resources can be obtained from the Cancer Survivorship Resource Center (https://www.cancer.org/health-care-professionals/national-cancer-survivorship-resource-center.html (https://www.cancer.org/health-care-professionals/national-cancer-survivorship-resource-center.html))
