Providers spend hours trying to help clients heal while those same clients are unknowingly poisoning the two moments that set their entire nervous system for the day. ⚡ Former Australian Special Forces Commando Tim Thomas built a breathwork program around the five minutes before sleep and the five minutes after waking — and the results speak for themselves. Tune into The Care We Need Podcast to learn how this simple, free intervention can change outcomes for your most stuck clients. 🎙️

Healthcare organizations are constantly doing more with less — absorbing deficits they didn't create, measuring outcomes they can't control, and losing patient trust they don't have the resources to treat. The common narrative blames individual providers or disengaged communities, but the research tells a different story: the root cause is a system shaped by decades of policy, planning, and infrastructure decisions that nobody in healthcare ever voted for. Dr. Demetria Bolden joins The Care We Need Podcast to trace those roots — and show what it actually takes to rebuild trust from the ground up. 🎙️

We showed videos describing website wireframes for seven features to 114 Americans across the U.S. and asked them to rate which features might be the most useful for someone navigating a complex illness healing journey.

Here's what stood out:

✅ **People with a lot of experience with chronic illness wanted all seven features**.

People who've personally experienced the complexity of trying to get a diagnosis, trying to find the right care professionals, and managing all of their appointments and meds—they know the pain points that The Care We Need Website is built to overcome.

✅ **Newcomers to chronic illness have simpler needs** (but they still want them solved).

Our all-care-model, all-care-sector, all-payment-option professional directory with automated referrals is meeting exactly what this group needs—no bells and whistles, just accessible information and easy next steps.

❌ **Age and income did not correlate to how useful participants found features** (meaning these features are valid for everyone navigating complex illness, regardless of who they are or where they come from.)

Experience with complex illness was all that mattered.

➖➖➖

The analysis gave us two validated user clusters with high statistical confidence. Our largest groups, Experienced Users and Simplicity Users, together made up over 50% of the sample—making our data more than statistically relevant—and gave us clear, distinct feature priorities. It confirmed our product roadmap is hitting real, data-backed user needs!

Proud of the rigor here—our data team (shout-out to Joel and Rigved) built bulletproof clustering models and gave us findings we can actually take to investors with confidence.

Almost ready to turn this into prototype into product. 🚀

Someone recently sent us a podcast about the discovery of the interstitium--clear body fluid that surrounds every organ and has 4 times the volume of blood. It blew our minds and got us excited to see a potential bridge between and being built.

What else could we heal if we learned from each other?
