Happy National Interns Day!

WHEELHOUSE was built on one simple truth…
People thrive when they have a team behind them.

The same goes for us.

For seven years, our Marketing & PR Internship Program has brought together some of the brightest, most creative minds to build a team that continues to inspire us and the people we serve.

Every semester brings new energy, fresh ideas, and standout talent.

It has been incredible to watch our interns grow, take ownership, and carry what they have learned into the world.

Now, with just over four weeks left in this summer’s program, we are interviewing for our fall team of next-level visionaries.

Know a college student who is creative, driven, and interested in innovative health approaches?

Let’s build something great together.

THE HUMAN TOUCH OF GOD
[GOOD MEDICINE]

During the peak of the COVID-19 crisis in Brazil, hospitals were overwhelmed, and many patients in intensive care were left completely alone—unable to feel the reassuring touch of their loved ones. The emotional toll of this isolation was heartbreaking. In response, Brazilian healthcare workers came up with a powerful yet simple act of compassion. They took two disposable gloves, filled them with warm water, tied them together, and placed them into the hands of isolated patients.

This technique, later named the “Hand of God,” offered more than just physical comfort. The warmth and shape of the gloves closely resembled that of a real human hand, helping patients feel less alone during one of the scariest moments of their lives. Beyond emotional support, the warm gloves helped stimulate blood circulation and improved the accuracy of medical device readings.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
♥️
After you discover what your candy says about your love style, check below to see what added health benefits you may be getting from your momentary indulgence!

1. Chocolate Caramel
Chocolate contains theobromine, a stimulant that can release endorphins and improve mood. It also contains tryptophan, a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin, which can promote feelings of happiness and relaxation. Meanwhile, caramel is mostly sugar which gives a nice turbo boost to the endorphin rush you’re already getting from the chocolate.

2. Coconut Cluster
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) found in coconut oil can cross the blood-brain barrier and provide energy to the brain, potentially improving cognitive function. Coconuts also help lower bad (LDL) cholesterol and improve heart health.

3. Salted Milk Chocolate
Salt is our most essential electrolyte which helps regulate hydration, conduct nerve impulse, stabilize blood pressure and stimulates digestive enzymes aiding in nutrient absorption. Sure too much salt can be a problem but not having enough can be an even bigger one!

4. Sugar Hearts
Sugar is our primary energy source and essential for sustaining proper cell function. In fact your brain runs almost entirely on it which is why as soon as sugar enters your system your body shunts 80% of it to your brain, reserving the remaining 20% for organ and muscle function! If you’re feeling foggy headed, low glucose is often a big reason why.

5. Pecan Delight
Pecans are a good source of magnesium, which plays a role in regulating hormones and can be an aid in reducing PMS symptoms. They’re also high in vitamin B6 and copper, which support brain health and cognitive function!
