Born in California and raised in New Jersey, Dr. Tanya Khan studied at Columbia University and Duke University School of Medicine. She specializes in the clinical and surgical management of eyelid orbit disorders and also offers non-invasive facial cosmetic augmentation, chemical and laser skin resurfacing and topical skin care. To date, she has first-authored nine peer-reviewed scientific publications and written two scientific book chapters. She has also presented her work at national and international ophthalmology and cosmetic surgery conferences. In her spare time, she is an avid fitness enthusiast, and she enjoys spending time with her family and friends.

“Many patients will qualify for medically necessary uppereyelid surgery that is interfering with their vision.”

OCULOPLASTIC SURGERY What is Oculoplastic Surgery? Oculoplastic surgery is a sub-specialty of ophthalmology. Who Am I? I am both a fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon and board-certified ophthalmologist, which means that I am trained in surgery inside and outside the eye. As an oculoplastic surgeon, I primarily evaluate the eyelids and upper face, such as droopy brows and upper eyelids, under-eye bags, eyelid cancer, styes and chalazia and blocked tear ducts. Aging changes typically start with volume loss at the upper face. When we identify these features, we can properly address and prevent with Botox, fillers, lasers, skincare and surgery. You can rest assured that I am very comfortable with my eyelid and facial anatomy. Is all eyelid surgery considered cosmetic? The good news is no! In fact, many patients will qualify for medically necessary upper-eyelid surgery that is interfering with their vision. What does this mean? If your eyelid skin or lash line is hovering at or over your pupil (the visible black dot at the center of your eye), it is likely you are struggling to see. The excess hanging eyelid skin may be causing a shadow at the top and sides of your vision. You may be subconsciously raising your brows and forehead to lift your eyelids, which can often cause headaches, not to mention unsightly forehead lines! To stop this cycle, we can evaluate your specific upper-eyelid issues and accordingly devise a surgical plan. What is the best way to treat dark circles? This is one of the most common questions we are asked in our oculoplastics clinic. Dark circles occur for three reasons: 1) loss of volume at the lower eyelids, 2) deeper vessels along the lining of the orbital bone casting a dark shadow at the skin surface and 3) hyperpigmentation or darkening of the lower-eyelid skin. Keep in mind that your eyelid skin is the thinnest on the body. Any signs of dehydration (not sleeping enough, not drinking enough water) will quickly manifest under your eyes because there isn’t an extra cushion of collagen and elastin like there is in skin elsewhere on your face and body. Depending on the reasons accounting for your dark circles, we can try lifestyle adjustments (eight hours of sleep and increased hydration), eye cream and discoloration correcting products, filler injections to the tear trough (area underneath the eye) and lower-eyelid blepharoplasty surgery (to remove the bulging fat pads and tighten the skin).

Amy Sweet, proud recipient of the 2019 Austin CEO of the Year award at Austin Woman magazine’s Woman’s Way Business Awards, is the founder and CEO of Halcyon Home. Halcyon Home is an Austin-based private-duty home-health and hospice continuity-of-care company that allows seniors to age in the residential setting of their choice, with personalized inhome care directed toward their individual needs. Halcyon recently gained additional recognition with its care expansion down the south I-35 corridor to San Marcos, Texas. Sweet earned her master’s degree in Health Science from the University of Pennsylvania, becoming a certified physician assistant. Her work history spreads across the fields of oncology, gastroenterology and geriatric health. Her dream of creating a company with a concierge level of care became an award-winning reality thanks to a handpicked team that shares her love of care. Halcyon Home provides private-duty (nonmedical), home health (medical) and hospice (medical) care.

“Hospice is a philosophy of care that values life from the moment it begins to the moment it ends.” 44 | 2020 GUIDE TO GOOD HEALTH | ATXDOCTORS.COM

PLANNING FOR AT-HOME CARE What is the difference between home care and home health, and what makes both essential during the difficult times we are facing today? The term home care is often replaced with private-duty or personal assistance services. It is nonmedical assistance involving a care contract for short durations of time or as much as 24/7 care. The care is arranged to provide one-onone assistance with activities of daily living, i.e. eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, transfers and maintenance of bladder and bowel function. Caregivers may also provide aid with transportation, errand running and medication reminders. Services are paid through personal savings or long-term care insurance. During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, home care workers were defined as “essential workers.” This has given agencies an opportunity to provide care and companionship for seniors in communities and facilities, offering a layer of security and comfort for your loved one. Home health differs from home care in that it provides skilled medical care. It requires a physician order, with services covered 100% with no copay under traditional Medicare. Services include skilled nursing, physical, occupational and speech therapy. Qualifying events to consider for home health are a recent change in diagnosis or medications, a hospitalization, a fall, a surgical procedure, unsteady gait/balance or wound care. Private-duty home care and skilled home health can be provided simultaneously for your loved one to meet their complete needs. What is the difference between palliative care and hospice? Palliative care can take place at any time of a patient’s life and for any disease process. It focuses on physician support to provide relief from pain and decrease the stress of the illness. It is a myth that patients cannot seek curative treatment while receiving palliative care. In fact, that is when you should consider palliative care for your loved one, when they are receiving curative treatment yet unable to manage the symptoms and/or pain resulting from their diagnosis. Medicare covers both palliative care and hospice care. Hospice care is one of the most underutilized healthcare benefits in the U.S. Too often, we underestimate the potential hospice can have in making a positive impact on the lives of both you and your loved one. Hospice is the key to an end-of-life journey that is full of love, remembrance and beauty. The hospice interdisciplinary team is devoted to you to make a difference through this difficult time, providing significant clinical, spiritual and psychosocial support. All care and medications related to the primary diagnosis are provided and covered under the Medicare hospice benefit, including all durable medical equipment: hospital bed, oxygen, shower chair and incontinence supplies. How do I plan for Mom’s and Dad’s care? The most important factor in planning for the care of your loved one is to understand their specific goals and wishes. The right time to discuss these goals is before the onset of a debilitating illness. This conversation may be difficult, but it can also be rewarding and strengthen the parent-child bond. It can be an opportunity for life reflection and sharing. There are many resources available. Put “end-of-life decision-making” into your favorite search engine. Here are a few I like: vitaltalk.org, nia.nih.gov and deathwithdignity.org. In the absence of conversations, one has to rely on the caregiver’s (child, spouse, parent, medical power of attorney) best assessment of what the patient would want, evidenced by things the patient may have said or done previously. This is called “substituted judgement.” At Halcyon Home, our team of experts are available to assist with difficult conversations and can provide solution options following a free consultation.

4 TIPS FOR BREAST CANCER EDUCATION AND PREVENTION

Dr. Suzanna Fuqua gives tips for breast cancer education and prevention. BY DR. SUZANNE FUQUA

I’m a homegrown Texas-educated girl. I went to the University of Houston for both my bachelor’s and master’s, then finished my PhD at MD Anderson in Cancer Biology in 1981. I’ve dedicated my whole career to breast cancer. I’ve come to understand why some therapies work, why some therapies don’t work for certain women and how we can prevent the critical problem of metastasis. It’s important for us all to be educated on proper prevention and the latest research and developments for breast cancer. Here are five things you can do today. 1. Know Your Body Regular self-examinations and regular mammograms (especially if you are over 50) are key to catching breast cancer in the earlier stages, when it is most treatable. If you conduct self-examinations regularly, you’ll notice when something might be different. It can take up to ten years for cancer to grow enough that you can find it, but a mammogram can identify any cancerous cells earlier. If you’ve never scheduled a mammogram or are looking for more information on how mammograms and selfexaminations work, talk to your doctor. 2. Ask Family Members for History of Breast and Ovarian Cancer This helps you and your doctor evaluate your risk level and create a preventative treatment plan, especially if you test positive for the BRCA gene. The BRCA gene, or the Breast Cancer Gene, is commonly misconceived as the gene that causes breast cancer. In most people it does the opposite. It plays a big role in repairing DNA breaks that could lead to cancer. However, when this gene is mutated in some people, it cannot prevent breast cancer and becomes a concern. 46 | 2020 GUIDE TO GOOD HEALTH | ATXDOCTORS.COM

3. Educate Yourself In order to conquer anything, you must know your enemy. In this case, the enemy is a mutated estrogen receptor. Think of it like a lock and key. The estrogen receptor requires the estrogen key. The lock closes behind it to keep the estrogen contained. When this receptor mutates, the lock breaks, leaving it open all the time. This causes the cancer to grow faster. With the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) I study mutations in the estrogen receptor to see how it not only evades cancer therapies but also how it’s driving metastasis. What we have learned is that this resistance to therapy is caused by a mutation—something that happens more frequently in metastatic breast cancer. We aim to find drugs that work on this broken receptor and combine them with a drug targeting the metastasis the receptor is driving. You can read more about this from the BCRF. 4. Support Causes that Give Back We are on such a breakthrough track now. I think for the first time in my life I am able to say I see the end of the tunnel. We can manage metastatic disease like we do diabetes. I couldn’t have said that five years ago. If the cancer is controlled, that is a cure. I think we’re getting close. Supporting causes that help fund our research puts us on the path to a cure. Here in Texas, Kendra Scott annually partners with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation on a gorgeous jewelry collection that directly supports the research I do. Twenty percent of all purchases helps support breast cancer research. Shopping with intention matters. It makes life-saving research possible.

In the U.S., one in eight women and one in one thousand men will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Dr. Suzanne Fuqua, professor of medicine from the Baylor College of Medicine, shares some prevention and education tips. She also talks about the powerful impact she's making in breast cancer research. Fuqua is the recipient of The Kendra Scott Award in Honor of Holley Rothell Kitchen from the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, investigating metastatic breast cancer.

Don’t put off your mammogram. Schedule now. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime. The fact is mammograms can find cancer before a lump can be felt and early detection saves lives. If you have delayed getting your mammogram, now is the time to schedule. ARA’s offices are set up to protect you from COVID-19 so you can feel free to get your mammogram safely. Visit ThanksMamm.com to schedule your appointment. You’ll be glad you did.

Arthy Saravanan, MD, is a breast imaging specialist at ARA Diagnostic Imaging. Having completed an advanced fellowship in breast imaging, she is an expert at diagnosing breast cancer through the use of mammography, MRI and ultrasound.

“The great news is that when detected early by a mammogram, 98% of women survive breast cancer. ”

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MAMMOGRAPHY Mammograms save lives. The key message that we try to convey regarding breast cancer awareness is that starting annual mammograms at age 40 saves lives. It is also vital to get yearly screening mammograms after that. Many women are unaware that breast cancer is very common. In fact, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. About one woman will die every 13 minutes. What’s really startling is that many Austin women 40 and over have not started having their annual screening mammograms. The great news is that when detected early by a mammogram, 98% of women survive breast cancer. The emphasis is on early detection, which catches cancers when they are more treatable. It’s so important not to wait to have your mammogram. According to the American College of Radiology, women should start getting mammograms at the age of 40 and get screened yearly thereafter. If you have an increased risk or family history of breast cancer, your screenings might need to begin earlier. Have you put off your mammogram because of COVID-19? A lot of us have been putting off routine medical appointments for fear of exposure to COVID-19. If that's you, we understand. But if you have missed your yearly mammogram, please schedule now. ARA has put a number of safety protocols in place to protect you, including requiring patients, visitors and employees to wear masks; screening everyone entering the imaging centers; enhanced cleaning of surfaces and high-touch items like pens and maintaining social distancing whenever possible. So make your appointment now! It’s safe to come to ARA. Mammograms: yearly or every other year? You may have heard conflicting information about how often to get a mammogram. Research has shown that cancers that are diagnosed in women that have yearly mammograms are more likely to be smaller and more treatable than those found in women who get mammograms every other year. This makes sense. Cancer simply has more time to grow and reach a higher stage in two years than it does in one. In fact, 76% of cancers detected in women who have a mammogram every year are early stage versus only 56% of cancers in women who have mammograms every two years. Keep in mind also that insurance in Texas is generally required to cover your mammogram every year. So why wait? What is the chance I will be diagnosed with cancer? Women often wonder when they come for their screening mammograms what the chances are their doctor will find cancer. Here’s what data tells us: For every 1,000 women who have a screening mammogram: • 100 are recalled for further screening • 20 are recommended for biopsy • 5 are diagnosed with breast cancer Excellence in imaging ARA has completely invested in 3D mammography, an advanced technology that finds up to 41% more cancer than traditional mammography. 3D mammography is now the standard for excellence in mammography, and it is available in 11 ARA locations. Everyone at ARA wants to make having a mammogram as easy as possible. We now offer online scheduling for mammograms and extended hours, so you can come after work. Take care of your breast health. Schedule your mammogram online now!

MENTAL HEALTH AND MEDITATION

Meditation allows us to examine, heal and release. BY TAYLOR ELLISON

friends. It’s not all chants and chimes. Meditation is a deep dive into the inner workings of your heart and mind. Through meditation, we explore the parts of ourselves where we’ve stuffed things down, suppressed emotions or held ourselves back. We venture into the places we’ve been keeping small, the things we aren’t proud of, and bring them into the light of our awareness to examine, heal and release. The process can be rigorous. The rewards are significant. As you cultivate this relationship with yourself, you gain freedom, lightness, a deeper sense of connection to your true nature. People often say that time heals all. I like to say that “time and the work” heal all. They go hand in hand. In seasons of uncertainty and personal struggle, meditation has been my guiding light. Through meditation I learned to quiet the noise, to make peace with the parts of me that feel unsettled. I learned to turn inward instead of looking outside of myself for answers. Amid challenges, my time on the meditation mat is the one place I can go where I know I am safe. It is a place I practice loving myself unconditionally and forgiving myself fiercely. But meditation is not exclusively a tool to help you weather tough times. It is a tool to enhance your life in every sense of the word. It is a state of being where we sit with ourselves and get in touch with who we really are. Meditation is a vehicle to cultivate radical gratitude. By disconnecting from life’s distractions, we are able to tune in to all of life's riches. We go from doing to being. We release the need to achieve something and instead honor that our very existence is something to celebrate. We rest in the stillness and grace of each moment. Better sleep, less anxiety, improved performance, JOY—practicing meditation has enormous benefits for your quality of life. It is a beautiful paradox that so much value can come from “doing” so little. Makes me wonder, why as humans do we make things so hard? People tend to overcomplicate meditation, so remember to start small. Meditation is the practice of noticing our thoughts without the need to judge them, letting them come and go freely without fixating on 50 | 2020 GUIDE TO GOOD HEALTH | ATXDOCTORS.COM

one. We eventually find that desired mental stillness. But like any new activity, we do not achieve that state immediately. We have to stay with it, build a new spiritual muscle and exercise it. It is helpful to recognize that our thoughts are inherently neutral. Thoughts do not have a positive or negative assigned to them. We assign emotions to our thoughts based on our personal perceptions of life. For example, you see the color yellow and are instantly reminded of sunflowers and sunshine, while someone else sees yellow and is reminded of pollen or corn to which they are allergic. We have our own unique perspectives that inform our assessment of any given thought. How empowering, that we get to decide how to respond to a thought instead of reacting to it. As we become aware of this we begin to move through life with more intention. Start small, just a few minutes a day. You can begin by simply taking a few deep breaths. As you breathe in, imagine you are inhaling pure love. As you breathe out, imagine you are exhaling fear. Place your awareness on the center of your chest, in your heart center, and take a few moments to imagine something for which you feel grateful. Let gratitude swell in your heart. Inhale and exhale deeply. Congrats! You just meditated. Nice work! What might it look like to be kinder to yourself this month? What if you could take a few moments in meditation each week and give yourself grace? How might things change? How might your life change? Here’s to your well-being and happiness this October. May you find meditation a trusty tool for your growth, gratitude and good health.

TRANSFORMING THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE By Jenny Aghamalian, VP of Public Affairs & Strategy at Sedera

Since 2014, Austin-based startup Sedera has been hard at work to create a new normal in healthcare.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, these misplaced values have only become further entrenched.

You may ask, aren’t we struggling with enough “new normals” these days, as 2020 continues to interrupt our routines and force a new status quo? But after 15 years of studying healthcare policy and 11 years balancing professional and parenting responsibilities, I believe now is the time to transform the patient experience and give individuals and families access to better healthcare choices.

This is why we created Sedera. Sedera is a nonprofit Medical Cost Sharing Community that offers an innovative, noninsurance approach for managing healthcare costs through direct member-to-member sharing.

Now more than ever we need options when it comes to managing our healthcare costs. Why now? The consequences of our broken healthcare system are becoming increasingly unbearable and unsustainable. Between rising costs, lack of price transparency, strict network requirements and copious amounts of red tape, caring for our families’ health is anything but simple. Efforts to reform the system are met with political positioning, government regulation and corporate interest. To make matters worse, these problems disproportionately affect women. The U.S. Department of Labor reports that women make 80% of the healthcare decisions for their families, but our current system prioritizes skyrocketing premiums and insurer profits over the wants and needs of most women.

Sedera members belong to a community of likeminded individuals who are active and engaged participants in their healthcare decision-making. Sedera believes the best care happens when patients have a direct relationship with their doctor, so we encourage members to explore another innovative non-insurance healthcare option: Direct Primary Care. Sedera and DPC memberships work so well together, we even discount the monthly contribution for our members who have a DPC. DPC practices offer comprehensive care to their patients using a monthly membership model. By cutting out third-party payers, DPC physicians can focus on treating their patients without heavy administrative burdens, making excellent partners for Sedera. Our passion is to be the change that we all want to see: a simple, transparent and timely alternative to the broken and overly complicated health insurance industry. Together, Sedera is giving patients the change they need now, here in Austin and beyond.
