Happy May, SynerLink friends,
Welcome to our new look! We have just finished a brand new logo for SynerGenius Consulting, as well as our SynerLINK newsletter. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. We’ve rebuilt the entire website from the ground up, with new helpful resources, easy navigation, and the latest updates on all our current, enhanced services. With your input, we’ve also re-vamped the services we offer, creating high-impact programs that support you in resolving your biggest problems, while ensuring our programs will fit easily into your busy schedule. Take some time to check out the new site – we’d love to hear what you think!
My favorite article this month regards how we, as a culture, equate busy-ness with being successful or important, or even worthwhile or valuable as a person. This article has some great tips on how to stop the glorification of busy.
Since our May 1 newsletter, we have even more new updates to announce. Click the links below to check out our new Facebook and LinkedIn groups devoted to discussing the 7 Foundations, where I’ll be keeping you up-to-date on the latest science to support your health and happiness. Join us there for the latest news!

Our apologies for the repeat email for some of you, and for the late newsletter for the others. Unfortunately, our email provider experienced a technical glitch this month that resulted in only half of our list receiving our message last week. The problem has been fixed, and we don’t expect any future related issues. Sorry for any inconvenience!
If you enjoy the newsletter, please forward to friends or colleagues who may enjoy receiving it, as well. They can click the links at the bottom of this newsletter to subscribe, or to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn, or go to our home page:

As always, I welcome suggestions, comments, or interesting links. Please send to: chelgason@
Best wishes for your health and happiness,
Chanel Helgason, MD

A new perspective on evidence-based medicine. When defining evidence-based medicine, we may need 2 definitions, applying the SECS versus RUDE rule: “treatments that are Safe, Easy, Cheap, and Sensible (SECS) require less evidence than those that are Risky, Unrealistic, Difficult, or Expensive (RUDE)”
