Americans are divided on many things, but not on maternal health: nearly eight in ten voters say they're more likely to support candidates who back maternal health reform.
The poll comes from Healthy Moms Healthy Babies America, founded by Olivia Walton and part of Heartland Forward, a “think-and-do tank.”
The poll also found that 77% of voters believe maternal health in America needs improvement. When told there are 17.9 deaths per 100,000 births in the U.S. and that most of those deaths can be prevented, support rises to 86%.
Yes, Americans are polarized, but there is broad support on a critical issue: like maternal health. You can read more from Axios here: https://lnkd.in/dQqN3A8e 49 11Grief is just love in another form. I was reminded of this when I saw the footage of a dolphin carrying her dead two-week old surrounded by the other dolphins in her pod. The video went viral and occasioned a conversation about the capacity of animals to experience grief. But where others see grief, I see love. Love is what we’re made of and what we’re evolving toward. It’s this ultimate form of expression that moves us (on land and in water), and mourning is a natural extension of that.
And here are three of my favorite quotes on love:
Rumi: “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
Thomas Merton: “Love is, in fact an intensification of life, a completeness, a fullness, a wholeness of life. It is for this that we came into the world — this communion and self-transcendence. We do not become fully human until we give ourselves to each other in love.”
Pierre de Chardin: “Love is the most universal, the most tremendous and the most mystical of cosmic forces. Love is the primal and universal psychic energy. Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution.

Barbara Walters was not only a dear friend but my oldest daughter’s beloved godmother. She was there for the big moments of my life, and, just as important, for the hard ones in between. 252 46A 2025 study in Nature Medicine found that following a Mediterranean-style diet can help offset a person’s genetic risk for Alzheimer’s. Because “Mediterranean diet” can mean different things to different people, the researchers defined it precisely. Participants who ate more vegetables, fruits, fish, nuts, legumes, whole grains, and monounsaturated fats (like those in olive oil), and who consumed less red and processed meat as well as saturated fat (such as butter), showed greater resilience to the disease despite their genetic predisposition.
The authors concluded that long-term adherence to the Mediterranean diet was “strongly associated” with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s and Alzheimer’s-related dementias. Now new preliminary research suggests that avoiding late-night meals may help protect cognitive function as we age. It's one more example that our daily behaviors are among the most powerful tools we have to support long-term health. On the nights I leave at least three hours between dinner, I can see in my ŌURA Ring how much better my sleep is. It's no surprise that in New York 5:30 dinner reservations are increasingly popular. (Though maybe I shouldn’t be broadcasting that — now they’ll be harder to get!) 😎
Read more in The Guardian: https://lnkd.in/duM3J39H 111 26In his Quarterly Review for Q2, General Catalyst CEO Hemant Taneja writes that the quarter was largely about scale and concentration of power and access, with three deals — OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI — drawing around two-thirds of all AI funding.
And that’s why, he argues, we need a counter-move to build toward greater access to spread the benefits wider.
In healthcare, that’s going to require more public-private collaboration. “No government can transform healthcare alone, and no technologist or health system can do it alone either,” writes Taneja. “Building an affordable, accessible system takes all of us. And the stakes reach well past medicine. A health system is the largest employer in most American towns, the anchor of its local economy as much as its care. Get this right, and you deliver three things at once: better health, lower cost, and the jobs with agency that a community needs.”
I couldn’t agree more. And given that we spend one-third of our lives at work, the workplace can be a critical part of that collaboration to transform healthcare.

Failures of once very successful products and brands like BlackBerry (of which I was a power user), Microsoft Zune, Snap Spectacles, and Blockbuster.
Failure has many lessons to teach us, not only about when to adopt and innovate but also about when to persevere. One of the low points in my life was when my second book was rejected by 36 publishers. By rejection 25, you would have thought I might have said, “Hey, you know, there’s something wrong here. Maybe I should be looking at a different career.” Instead, I remember running out of money and walking, depressed, down St. James's Street in London and seeing a Barclays Bank. I walked in and, armed with nothing but a lot of chutzpah, I asked to speak to the manager and asked him for a loan. Even though I didn’t have any assets, the banker — whose name was Ian Bell — gave me a loan. It changed my life, because it meant I could keep things together for another, yes, 13 rejections! And then I got an acceptance. It makes the point that failure isn’t the opposite of success, but, as my mother often said, a stepping stone to success. 80 32For many of us, our feelings about food are intertwined with guilt and judgment — coming not just from the outside but also from ourselves. We may hear the voice I call the “obnoxious roommate living in our head” telling us that we’re bad or weak for making the choices we make, that we should be ashamed of ourselves. That’s why our approach at Thrive Global is all about taking Microsteps, which really are too small to fail. For example, you might know that chronic inflammation is bad for our bodies. But you might not know it’s linked to mental health issues as well, including anxiety and depression. It’s also recognized as the underlying basis of a number of age-related diseases, including Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. (Researchers sometimes call it “inflamm-aging.”) When we reduce inflammation, we set ourselves up for better mental health over time. And what we eat is a key factor.
One Microstep is adding just one high-fiber food to your meal. Foods like spinach, collard greens, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, avocados, flaxseeds, chia seeds and hemp seeds can help calm both our body’s and our brain’s inflammatory response. Tess Bredesen, our Director of Nutrition, breaks it all down for us. 133 48

Profile roast
Nine wellbeing sermons cannot rescue a bio that dies at “acute case of.” This profile is an embarrassing copy-paste corpse.
