Name: Kat Boogaard Evens

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-bt8s@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Evens

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 21 January

Query:

Hi there!

I'm working on a post for Evens tentatively titled "What It's
Like to Date With GI Issues."

The post will share an inside perspective on how these problems
can impact someone's dating life, as well as some tips for
making the most of it.

If this is something you have experience with, I'd love to know
the following:

1. Please provide your name and pronouns so I cite you
correctly.

2. What types of GI issues do you struggle with? No need to get
too detailed or personal (since I know this can be a little
uncomfortable!), but even something simple like, "I have acid
reflux" will provide some context.

3. Do your GI issues interfere with your dating life in any way?
If so, how?

4. Do you openly address your GI issues with someone you're
dating? If so, when? And how?

5. Do you have any tips for someone like you who's dating while
struggling with GI problems? I'll take any and all advice you
have!

If I plan to include your responses, you'll receive a quick
talent release form to fill out.

Thanks so much for your consideration!

All the best, Kat

Query:

I am a writer working with telehealth.com, a
directory/marketplace for services that is rich with informative
content about telemedicine and fast-evolving virtual care.

I am working on a few articles and am reaching out because we'd
like to include expert insight, involving a 10- to 15-minute
phone interview to discuss "What is Telemedicine?"

Are you available for a phone interview on Wed. or Thurs. of
this week?

Some questions I will ask include: How is telemedicine defined?

What services does telemedicine provide?

What are the benefits of telemedicine?

How is telemedicine care provided to patients?



I am working on three additional stories that also might fall in
your area of expertise -- and if so and you'd like to comment,
would love to gather your insight.

-How to Use Telehealth Services During (and After) Covid

-Using a Telemedicine App

-What is the Difference Between Telemedicine, Telecare and
Telehealth?



Let me know what you think....

Basically, this is an editorial opportunity to be interviewed/
quoted for content that will be published on telehealth.com, a
new launch and part of www.homefield.com.

I am a contributor to U.S. News & World Report and other
business- and health-related publications.

Thank you for your time -- and I look forward to your reply.

8) Summary: Exercises for back pain / Stretches for lower back & shoulder pain / Yoga for back pain

Name: Laura Williams TheHealthy

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-bt9g@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: TheHealthy

Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 21 January

Query:

This is for FOUR separate articles:

1. Exercises for back pain 2. Stretches for lower back pain 3.
Stretches & exercises for shoulder pain 4. Yoga for lower back
pain

The general credentials I need in experts for all four articles
are the same -- an MD or PhD who specializes in back care, back
injuries, back care, back pain management, etc. Doctorate-level
education in physical therapy, chiropractic, etc. works as well.

For the first article, I need someone to comment on the
importance of exercise in preventing/reducing/managing back
pain. This is a more general/broad scope article than the
others, so exercise including cardio, strength training,
stretching, etc. is all appropriate to mention. If cardio is
good, what types are best (i.e., walking/cycling/swimming vs.
running/jumping rope, etc.), same question for strength training
& flexibility training. Also, if a person is experiencing back
pain, what types of exercise are appropriate and what should be
avoided? Are there concerning symptoms that should trigger a
doctor's appointment?

The second article is specific to traditional STRETCHES, not
yoga. Need commentary on why/how flexibility is important for
preventing/reducing/managing back pain. Then, looking for
specific examples of stretches that are appropriate and can
help. Also, if there are any stretches/movements that should be
avoided to prevent exacerbating back pain.

The 3rd article is specific to stretches AND exercises for
shoulder pain. Same general idea as above, but with commentary
on why shoulder pain is common, how exercise can help
prevent/reduce/manage shoulder pain, and what exercises should
be avoided when shoulder pain is present to prevent
exacerbation. Then, specific exercises (banded exercises for the
rotator cuff, strength training exercises, and specific
stretches) that are good for reducing shoulder pain.

The final article is specific to YOGA poses that can help with
lower back pain. Again, starting with how/why yoga may be able
to help prevent/reduce/manage pain. Then, diving into specific
yoga poses that are known to be beneficial. I don't want too
much overlap with the stretching article for low back pain.
Things like cat-cow, downward dog, happy baby, etc, with
explanations as to how they can help prevent/reduce back pain.
Also, specific poses that should be avoided when back pain is
present to avoid exacerbation of pain.

The first article is due at 10:00 pm 1/21/21, so I do need an
expert who can reply for that article QUICKLY. The other
articles are due over the course of the next week, so there's
more time. I can be reached directly at
laura.williams.msed@gmail.com. Thank you!

Requirements:

MD, PhD, or doctorate-level expert with a specialization in back
pain/back problems. This is for FOUR separate articles. I can
consider and speak to the same or different experts for each
article. Please indicate which article you're most interested in
contributing for (details above).
