We are near the end of our Manga journey through the 2nd edition of my book, "Heal or Die" on Amazon! This one is still hard to recount. It's also important to recount because it hits home the lesson that religion without love is slavery.

We recently sat down with The Business Journal to explore collaboration opportunities and talk about what we're building at Benes Companies. We discussed our fight to win the war on complex illness in a healthcare system not built to treat it. How the U.S. is 4x worse than its near-peer countries, and how a more collaborative, integrated, and synchronous care system is necessary to address these complex illness trends. Learn more on what we're building below!

Too many people in chronic pain are met with the same answers everywhere: medicate, inject, or operate, often before anyone has looked closely at what's actually driving the problem.

Dr. Fawad Mian, a board-certified neurologist and regenerative medicine specialist, experienced that same cycle firsthand and discovered that the steroids meant to relieve his pain were quietly damaging the joints and tissue underneath.

For health and wellness professionals, his story is a call to build practices that preserve and heal, not just ones that treat the symptom in front of them.

I’ve had a lot of doctors on this podcast. Dr. Fawad Mian is the first one who spent most of our conversation talking about being a patient. He’s board-certified in neurology and regene…

Do you know someone healing from Neurodivergence or another Complex Illness?

Whether you're the one carrying it, or you're a caregiver, family member, or care professional walking beside someone who is — you know how isolating it can be to navigate life, relationships, work, and healing in a system that wasn't built for you.

I know this personally. I've spent over ten years healing from ADHD, C-PTSD, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My husband Brett is healing from Autism Spectrum Disorder. We're also helping our child heal from ADHD. Between us, that's a decade-plus of navigating a care system that wasn't designed for any of it.

All we ever wanted was a community that understood, and resources to help us find our way to healing. So we built both.

Introducing Care Curation Coaching: private and group coaching with a peer community, for people navigating complex illness and their families.

Our first group cohort focuses on neurodivergence — five seats, virtual, 25% off right now. More cohorts are coming: trauma, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, undiagnosed disorders. Suggestions welcome.

I'd be grateful if you'd share this — post it, print it, or send it to someone who needs it. Full details: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VRgBP0t_D5MpLM9YsqKmZLEMLMiv_D13/view

Good providers leave healthcare not because they stopped caring, but because the system doesn't let them!
Siva Penna is a hospitalist who believes compassion isn't something you're just born with — it's something you can teach, train, and build into your culture.
This is the conversation your leadership team needs to have.

There is a version of this conversation that healthcare organizations have been having for years. It usually goes something like this: providers are burned out, patients feel unseen, and the soluti…
