With Amaze Health, you have a healthcare partner ready to help you with both urgent and primary care needs, 24/7. If you need one, we’ll find you the right specialist who can see you soon and who takes your insurance. We refill prescriptions. And we’ll help you find labs and imaging at the lowest cost to you.

Unlike more traditional office practitioners, we won’t limit you to one problem per virtual visit. We keep in touch and follow up with you. Our team of patient advocates is ready to help you with billing and insurance problems. And, of course, there is never a co-pay. That's the magic of having a healthcare partner in your pocket.

You don't usually see virtual healthcare providers showing up in person. But that's exactly what we did this week. Our Amaze Health team (Dr. Lisa Hile, Nicole Kafka, Miranda Drew, and Dottie Steinhoff) visited Fiore & Sons to give on-site flu shots and help their employees stay healthy this season.

Our members usually connect with us through their phones for everything from urgent care at 2 a.m. to mental health support and chronic disease management. We also help them navigate the healthcare system, whether they need to find a specialist, get a second opinion, access medications, or explore more cost-effective options.

Being a trusted healthcare partner to both employers and their teams means showing up however they need us, whether that's through their phone at midnight or in their workplace during the day. Real care isn't about where it happens. It's about being there when it counts.

It’s not a very sweet statistic, but diabetes was the 8th leading cause of death in the United States in 2020. Adults 50 years or older with diabetes die 4.6 years earlier, develop disability 6 to 7 years earlier, and spend about 1 to 2 more years in a disabled state than adults without diabetes.

About 37.3 million people—or 11.3% of the US population—had diabetes (diagnosed or undiagnosed) in 2019. This total included 37.1 million adults 18 or older, or 14.7% of all US adults. About 8.5 million of these adults had diabetes but were not aware that they had it or did not report that they had it.

Prediabetes is a category of increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes. With prediabetes, blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes.

Approximately one in three American adults can be classified as having prediabetes right now. Of those with prediabetes, more than 80% don’t know they have it. If you have prediabetes, you also have insulin resistance and the cells in your body don’t respond normally to insulin.

Insulin resistance and prediabetes usually have no symptoms and most people with prediabetes have it for years without knowing it.

How are Prediabetes and Diabetes Diagnosed?

Have you seen the ads about cortisol? They seem to be everywhere, on TV, and especially online and in social media. If you have ever searched for, or clicked on, anything having to do with weight loss, you most certainly have been served an ad telling you that stress is increasing your cortisol levels and that cortisol is increasing your belly fat. All you need to do is to take a supplement to control your cortisol, and your belly will shrink. This message is pretty compelling, especially for those of us who are stressed and are worried about our waistlines.

What is cortisol, and why is it called the “stress hormone”?
Cortisol is one of many hormones our bodies produce that can affect our weight. For example, if we haven’t eaten for a long time, our body produces ghrelin, the hunger hormone, which makes us want to eat. We produce cortisol during times of stress, as part of a complex system of signals that allow us to engage in “fight or flight” when faced with real or perceived danger.

When faced with a stressful situation, once the brain signals the release of cortisol, there are several immediate effects:

• We have increased energy: By increasing glucose in the bloodstream, cortisol provides immediate energy to large muscles.
• We have better mental clarity and focus: Because cortisol enhances the brain’s use of glucose.
• We become more efficient: Systems not immediately required for survival, such as digestion, reproduction and growth processes, are suppressed.
• Our immune response is altered: It changes immune system responses and suppresses inflammatory reactions.

"Amaze has truly been "amazing". Navigating healthcare is hard, but the support that Amaze provides takes all of the heavy lifting off of you. My son was hurt in football and in the moment of panic, I called Amaze and a wonderful person was able to advise where the best places to seek service were at and close to me, and those in which would provide the imaging and testing that this situation needed. Then, they followed up to ensure everything was okay. Hands down, best service ever."

Grief is a feeling of profound sadness caused by significant loss. It can be felt from the loss of anyone or anything significant, including a friend, loved one, job, romantic relationship or a pet. The more than 1.1 million Americans who died from COVID-19 during the past three years have forced many of us to confront the emotional upheaval caused by grief. More Americans are seeking grief-related mental health support than ever before. Grief affects us physically as well, and during the past 20 years, scientists have been increasingly able to pinpoint the ways in which grief can take a toll on our bodies.

Have you ever decided to make a big healthy change in your life? Maybe you bought a piece of exercise equipment, or joined a gym, or decided to overhaul your diet.

For most of us, it doesn’t take long to realize that major lifestyle changes require huge effort, create some upheaval and are really hard to sustain. But suppose we could develop new, healthy habits and even lose some not-so-healthy habits without all that effort and upheaval, and even without changing our regular routine?

That’s the idea behind habit stacking – a method designed to help us meet our goals without turning our lives upside down or setting us up for failure.

It is hard to know who first came up with the term, habit stacking. It may be S.J. (also known as Steve) Scott in his book, Habit Stacking–97 Small Life Changes That Take Five Minutes or Less, published in 2014.

No matter who coined the term, just about every book on habit written during the past ten years has discussed this concept because it turns out that the easiest way is the best way when it comes to creating new habits.

How Does Habit Stacking Work?
The idea behind habit stacking is to leverage an existing habit – something you already do every day, by adding a tiny additional habit that moves you one step closer to a bigger goal, like better health.

There are three steps to this process:

1. Identify a Consistent Habit: You start with a habit that you already do consistently, like brushing your teeth in the morning. This is your anchor habit.
2. Attach a New Habit: You then add a new, small habit immediately after the existing one. This could be something like doing two minutes of stretching or a 30-second plank right after brushing your teeth.
3. Sequential Stacking: As you get comfortable with the new habit, you can add another habit to the stack. For example, after your two minutes of stretching, you could do a minute of deep breathing for stress reduction or drink a full glass of water to jump-start your metabolism.

Sleep quality refers to the quality of your sleep and the way you feel after sleeping.

Poor sleep quality means that you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, and as a result, you are sleep-deprived. Poor sleep quality and sleep deprivation have a negative impact on your physical, cognitive, and emotional health.

Both internal and external factors affect your sleep. The internal factors include physical pain, stress, mental health issues, snoring, and sleep disorders. External factors include light and sound exposure, jet lag, medications, sleep environment, sleep schedule, caffeine and alcohol intake, and certain foods.

Light Exposure
Both natural daylight and artificial light affect sleep by influencing the circadian rhythm, or your body’s internal clock, which regulates when we feel tired or alert.

Medications
Certain medications hinder sleep quality, including alpha-blockers, beta-blockers, steroids, and antidepressants, among others.

Sleep Environment
Sleep environment refers to the bedroom where you sleep. A low-quality sleep environment impairs your ability to sleep soundly through the night. The ideal sleep environment is cool, dark, and quiet.

Inconsistent Sleep Schedule
Your sleep schedule is defined by when you go to bed and when you wake up. An inconsistent sleep schedule can throw off your internal clock, which controls the physiological changes that help you prepare for sleep and wakefulness. When these changes aren’t properly regulated, you could have difficulty getting enough quality rest.

Caffeine and Alcohol
Caffeine delays sleep onset and alcohol disrupts your quality of sleep.

Certain Foods
Certain foods may cause nighttime heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

"Amaze fills gaps we didn't even know existed. Amaze helped my daughter navigate a procedure after which the doctor failed to provide typical medications (which we didn't know about), and continued to follow up with her several times to ensure that she recovered properly. Amaze helped us know what to expect along the way, they filled gaps we didn't know about, and they answered questions before we could ask them. Amaze helped us get better care and more value for our healthcare dollar."

The Story of Amaze

The story of Amaze is rooted in the experience of its founder, David Silverstein. Back in 2011, while reviewing some of his own bills, David realized something was truly amiss in American healthcare, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. So, rather than simply paying often confusing and seemingly outrageous bills, he started disputing them. After some success forcing medical providers (mostly hospitals and hospital affiliated physicians) to answer his questions and to walk away from their bills, David formed a non-profit called Broken Healthcare to help other people do the same. Over the years, Broken Healthcare’s “Denial of Payment,” system became a model of revolt, empowering many patients to stand up for themselves and fight back against predatory billing.

In 2016, Broken Healthcare went from advocating for patients in billing disputes to using their stories to advocate for policy change. By 2019, David was at the White House, sitting down with the President and several patients from Colorado to discuss their bills and the changes that need to happen. A month later, new rules and regulations were announced. Now, change is in the hands of government lawyers.

In the meantime, David and some of the terrific people he met along the way decided that regardless of how things play out in Washington, another path to change was needed. So, they formed Amaze PBC, a for-profit Public Benefit Company dedicated to empowering people all over the country to take charge of their own healthcare. The founders of Amaze spent several years conducting research and talking to patients, employers, medical professionals, and many startup companies with bits and pieces of a solution to the complexity of healthcare—or what we call, “The Maze.”
