Navigating Health Conversations: Join My Substack Community
Written on
Chapter 1: An Invitation to Engage
I extend a warm invitation to all health and wellness enthusiasts to join my new subscriber chat. This space is designed for in-depth discussions moderated by myself alongside guest MDs, healthcare scientists, and mental health advocates. It’s a unique opportunity for us to connect and share insights.
In my publication, "Health and Wellness" by Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, I have created this private forum to both inform and inspire my subscribers. Currently, I am proud to have over 29,000 subscribers, with an ambitious goal of reaching 100,000 by year's end. While my stories may not receive the same visibility they once did on Medium, they have garnered significant attention through platforms like NewsBreak and Substack.
For instance, in the past month alone, my posts reached 7 million readers, with 472,000 engaging with the content, 9,000 likes, and 4,400 shares across various networks. This demonstrates the growing reach and impact of our conversations.
The video titled "Create Your Future: Follow Your Heart and Reinvent Your Life in 2024" emphasizes the importance of personal growth and health in shaping our futures. It aligns perfectly with the themes we will explore in our discussions.
Section 1.1: Purpose of the Subscriber Chat
This chat serves as an exclusive platform for subscribers from various channels, including NewsBreak, Medium, Substack, LinkedIn, Facebook, Quora, Vocal Media, Reddit, and my own website. Think of it as a group chat or live hangout aimed at knowledge sharing. I will regularly post questions and updates for discussion, encouraging everyone to engage and create a healthy dialogue.
In our inaugural chat thread, we will delve into your health concerns and aspirations, crafting a plan to address them. I will act as a soundboard, providing insights based on my research and personal experiences in both physical and mental health.
Subsection 1.1.1: My Journey Through Health Challenges
Having overcome various health challenges, including prediabetes, abdominal obesity, and Vitamin B12 deficiency, I have transformed my health and well-being. My experiences are documented in my personal publication, "EUHORIA," on Medium, where I share over 2,000 life lessons.
Due to recent algorithm changes on Medium, these narratives have become less visible, prompting me to distill this wealth of knowledge here for my subscribers.
Section 1.2: Collaboration and Expert Insights
During our discussions, participants can pose questions to myself and others. I plan to invite medical doctors, health scientists, and mental health experts to join us, enriching our conversations with their expertise. Many of these professionals are co-authors of this post, and you can follow their work on Substack.
As a guiding principle, I provide perspectives rather than direct advice, offering high-quality information based on my extensive research and collaborative experiences within the health community.
Chapter 2: Empowering Your Health Journey
In these conversations, I aim to empower you to ask meaningful questions of your healthcare providers. Many readers have shared their experiences of bringing up specific biomarkers or emerging treatment methods, which has led to valuable discussions with their doctors.
For example, I recently highlighted the LPIR test, a critical indicator of heart disease risk that many general practitioners were unaware of. This test is often overlooked in favor of LDL levels, despite its significant scientific backing.
I also shared insights on the importance of coronary calcium scans for those over 30, shedding light on cardiovascular risks that many subscribers were previously unaware of.
As a holistic health advocate, my focus is on fostering healthy lifestyle choices, complemented by the guidance of qualified healthcare professionals. I am not hesitant to explore pharmacological or supplementary approaches when necessary, documenting my findings transparently.
Thank you for joining this community and sharing your experiences. I look forward to enriching our discussions and welcoming many more health professionals to our forum.
If you're a writer on Medium or Substack, I invite you to explore our new publication, "Substack Mastery," where we share insights and experiences to bridge the gap between the two platforms.
Let us embark on this journey of health and wellness together, fostering a community of support and knowledge-sharing.
