Is it possible to achieve success through less effort? There is evidence that this is very possible. In this episode, we discuss the book, Effortless by Greg McKeown and the principles of getting more done and achieving success with an effortless mindset. This episode follows along with episode 2.1 where we introduced this concept in conjunction with the topic of Carol Dweck on Mindset and developing a growth mindset.

In this episode, we discuss the concept of mindset and its popularity, but what does mindset actually mean? And how do you design and act on a mindset? This episode is about setting your mind, referring to the Bible verse on the topic, in addition to Carol Dweck's Mindset concepts of fixed and growth mindsets. Finally, we discuss the book Effortless by Greg McKeown, which has drastically transformed Dr. April's summer.

In this preview episode, I discuss the new season and the shift into working with multicultural women who decide to thrive every day.

In this episode, Dr. April shares important information about the role of public health vs. medical healthcare and about the emerging concerns of autoimmune disease incidence and prevalence. Dr. April shares some basic public health concepts in this episode, while going into the research on autoimmune disease diagnoses from 1997 until the present moment into the  environmental factors and the COVID pandemic where we are seeing frequent diagnoses of myocarditis, an autoimmune condition affecting the heart.
