February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

Take this survey (link in bio) for the chance to win 1 of 5 $100 VISA gift cards—takes less than 10 minutes.

Giveaway: Win a Heart Rate Monitor + NAIC Health Insurance Tips


Talking about health insurance may not be everyone’s idea of a fun time. It’s a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn’t have to be scary, especially when you are well informed.

When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions.

For the employed:

·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs.
·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable.
·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts.
·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking.

For the self employed:

·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan.
·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past.

For the unemployed:

·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program
·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan.

No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult.

And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health.

To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must:

One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only.
