“Giving back to local communities is at the core of Walden Local Meat’s values and we’re overwhelmed each year by our members’ responses to this program,” said Mike Leahy, Vice President of Brand & Marketing, Walden Local Meat Co.

TEWKSBURY, Mass. (PRWEB)
November 28, 2022

Walden Local Meat Co., a community-based, direct-to-consumer share program that hand-delivers high quality meat to members’ doorsteps from farms across the Northeast, and their members have donated more than 2,700 pounds of meat to local New England food banks including Abenaki Helping Abenaki and Pine Street Inn, through its Thanksgiving member donation program. Each Thanksgiving season, members can purchase meat that is given directly to local nonprofits.

This year’s donations are expected to help provide over 5,000 meals to those in need this winter. These donations are coming at a time when food insecurity is nearly doubling pre-pandemic times. Project Bread estimates that one in six households in Massachusetts are food insecure.

“Giving back to local communities is at the core of Walden Local Meat’s values and we’re overwhelmed each year by our members’ responses to this program,” said Mike Leahy, Vice President of Brand & Marketing, Walden Local Meat Co. “High-quality protein is a key element of a nutritious meal and we’re happy to help contribute to meals for those in need.”

“Pine Street Inn is very grateful to the Walden Local Meat members who have supported Pine Street Inn over the years”, said Lyndia Downie, President and Executive Director, Pine Street Inn. “In this time of inflation and high food costs, these donations are especially significant and will impact more than 3,700 meals we serve to those experiencing homelessness.”

“Food insecurity is unfortunately prevalent and a reality that Nulhegan Abenaki Tribal Citizens must face on a day to day basis. As a parent or elderly person, it is hard to decide whether or not to purchase medicine, fuel, diapers, or food when your paycheck arrives. Our tribal citizens have one of the largest health disparities for chronic diseases, mental health, and other related health issues derived from the lack of healthy foods,” Chief Don Stevens, Nulhegan Abenaki Tribe, and Executive Director of Abenaki Helping Abenaki. “We are very grateful for the caring members of Walden Local Meat, who have provided protein to our people. The generous donations of meat to our food programs ensure that the recipients of such generosity go to bed with full bellies.”

As a further investment into local communities, each month, on behalf of their members, Walden Local Meat donates 1% of the volume in their member program to local charities who provide meals for the underserved. The “1% for the Hungry” program helps Walden Local Meat Co. promote food security and sustainability, while continuing to strengthen local communities.

AMI Meditation Study Findings

“The mind moves first, and the body follows. When physicians are provided effective Mind/Body tools and skills, they can transform the energy of stress and burnout into compassion, creativity and resilience.” — Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev)

AVERILL PARK, N.Y. (PRWEB)
November 28, 2022

In a new clinical study, peer-reviewed and published in the November 2022 issue of “Lifestyle Medicine” by John Wiley & Sons Ltd, medical researchers found that the regular practice of AMI Meditation and its allied disciplines significantly reduced burnout and secondary traumatic stress, while increasing compassion satisfaction levels in physicians and other healthcare professionals. This historic research study, which promises far-reaching protection against physician burnout was, in part, gathered during the increased stresses of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although the adverse effects of physician burnout were acknowledged as early as 1974 by Clinical psychologist Herbert Freudenberge, the increasing physical, mental and emotional pressures on all health-care providers has never been satisfactorily addressed by Mind/Body Medicine. In fact, in the September 13, 2022 issue of the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, published research co-authored by the American Medical Association now shows how the COVID-19 pandemic magnified long-standing issues that have accelerated the U.S. physician burnout rate. At the end of 2021, nearly 63% of physicians reported symptoms of burnout, up from 38% in 2020. Research further shows that large-scale change is needed to address the physician burnout.

According to the AMI Meditation study’s lead author, Mark Pettus MD, “From 2017 through 2020, a total of 54 attending physicians and health-care professionals at the annual AMI Meditation® holistic mind/body medicine conferences participated in this prospective study. Having been taught the mantra-based AMI Meditation curriculum, in addition to receiving abundant tools and support, these physicians and healthcare professionals were followed for 6-months. Using validated measurement tools to evaluate burnout scores, compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress, nearly all participants demonstrated significant improvements in all measures at 3 and 6 months of study follow up. These were statistically significant findings. Even for the subgroup of participants (n = 6; all physicians) who completed the second half of the study from February to April 2020, in the midst of the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and “quarantine,” there were sustained statistically significant improvements from baseline to 6 months in the secondary traumatic stress scale scores and, although not statistically significant, sustained numerical improvements were noted from baseline to 6 months for the burnout scale and compassion satisfaction scale scores, as reported in the AMI Meditation Study Table A2. From baseline and 6 months, secondary traumatic stress scores were reduced by 25.7% (p = 0.017), burnout scores were reduced by 21.5%, and compassion satisfaction scores improved by 13.2%. Of note, the changes in the three scales were numerically similar to the changes found for the whole study cohort.”

Leonard Perlmutter, founder of The American Meditation Institute and developer of the AMI Meditation proprietary curriculum states, “Physicians and other health-care professionals recognize that under burnout conditions, their energy is sapped, their creativity limited, their decision-making capacity compromised, and their bodies poisoned. But when we acknowledge that burnout begins in the mind, we can place greater emphasis on arming our medical warriors with effective mind/body tools and skills that enable them to reduce and prevent the ravages of burnout.”
