Dr. Katie Zippel Unveils Pioneering Research on Social Prescribing for Cancer Care
NSW, Australia, 3rd May 2025 – Dr. Katie Zippel, a respected general practitioner and DPhil candidate at Oxford University, has introduced pioneering research that sheds light on the role of social prescribing in cancer care. Her latest study, soon to be published in a leading peer-reviewed journal, highlights how non-medical interventions can significantly enhance the well-being and long-term health outcomes of individuals living with cancer.
With both professional expertise and personal experience as a breast cancer survivor, Dr. Zippel brings a unique perspective to this research. Her study explores how integrating social support systems, lifestyle medicine, and community-driven initiatives into primary healthcare can improve the overall survivorship experience for cancer patients.
Social prescribing is a revolutionary healthcare approach that enables medical professionals to refer patients to non-medical services that support mental, emotional, and physical well-being. These services include arts-based therapies, exercise programmes, gardening projects, and community-based support groups.

Dr. Zippel’s research emphasizes that cancer treatment should go beyond conventional medicine and include holistic interventions that help patients cope with the psychological and social challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. Her study presents strong evidence that structured social prescribing programmes significantly reduce stress, enhance emotional resilience, and improve overall quality of life.
Key Findings from the Research
Dr. Zippel’s study explores the tangible benefits of social prescribing by analysing patient experiences across various healthcare settings, including hospitals and community clinics. The research identifies several key findings that underscore the impact of these programmes:
- Improved Mental Health: Patients engaged in social prescribing activities reported a 40% decrease in anxiety and depression symptoms compared to those receiving conventional treatment alone.
- Stronger Social Connections: Over 70% of participants noted significant improvements in social engagement, reducing their sense of isolation.
- Enhanced Physical Well-being: Patients who participated in prescribed exercise programmes experienced increased mobility, better energy levels, and overall improved health.
- Better Treatment Adherence: Patients involved in non-medical support activities demonstrated greater commitment to their medical treatments and healthier lifestyle choices.
- Long-Term Health Benefits: Individuals participating in social prescribing programmes were more likely to maintain a healthier lifestyle post-treatment, reducing the risk of cancer recurrence.
Bridging the Gap Between Medicine and Community Support
One of the core messages of Dr. Zippel’s research is the importance of bridging clinical medicine with community-based support systems. While medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation are essential in combating cancer, addressing the social determinants of health—such as loneliness, mental well-being, and financial stress—can play an equally crucial role in recovery.
A key innovation within Dr. Zippel’s work is her focus on narrative medicine, an approach that utilises storytelling to foster understanding, connection, and empowerment among cancer patients. By encouraging patients to share their experiences, she is helping create a more compassionate and patient-centred healthcare model.
A Global Call for Change in Cancer Survivorship Care
The findings from Dr. Zippel’s research have far-reaching implications for healthcare policies worldwide. As medical systems search for sustainable ways to improve cancer survivorship care, her work provides strong evidence supporting the expansion of social prescribing initiatives.
Going forward, Dr. Zippel aims to collaborate with global healthcare providers and policymakers to integrate social prescribing into mainstream medical practices, ensuring more patients have access to holistic, community-driven care.
A Personal Mission for Healthcare Innovation
For Dr. Zippel, this research is more than an academic pursuit—it is a deeply personal mission. As a breast cancer survivor, she understands firsthand the challenges of navigating treatment and recovery. Her lived experience has inspired her dedication to advancing equitable healthcare solutions, particularly for underserved and rural communities.
Beyond research, Dr. Zippel is actively engaged in primary healthcare delivery as part of a multidisciplinary team. Her work spans rural general practice, mental health support, and public health research, all aimed at bridging clinical medicine with social support systems to improve patient outcomes.
A Vision for Holistic Wellness
Through her online platform and research initiatives, Dr. Zippel explores the connection between daily habits, community engagement, and overall health. She shares insights on lifestyle medicine, disease prevention, and the power of human connection in healthcare. Her blog serves as an educational hub, featuring personal narratives, health education posts, and evidence-based research from leading medical journals.
To further her mission, Dr. Zippel plans to introduce video content and interactive discussions, allowing patients and healthcare professionals to engage with her research more directly. By blending storytelling with science, she hopes to make medical knowledge more accessible and relatable.
Join the Movement: Advocating for Social Prescribing
Dr. Katie Zippel’s groundbreaking research is leading a global shift in how cancer care is approached. She urges healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers to recognise the transformative impact of social prescribing in improving cancer survivorship.
By advocating for these innovative, community-centred healthcare solutions, Dr. Zippel is setting the stage for a future where cancer care is not only about medical treatment but also about fostering holistic healing and support networks that prioritise the well-being of every patient.

Muzzammil Riaz Champions “Micro-Healing” Approach to Mental Health: Small Daily Actions That Save Lives
Canton, Michigan, 18th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Registered nurse, wellness advocate, and founder of Trust The Process, Muzzammil Riaz, urges individuals and communities to rethink how they approach mental health. His message is simple and profound. Healing does not have to be monumental to be meaningful.
Drawing from his experience in healthcare and his work with thousands of individuals through his mental health platform, Riaz is introducing the concept of micro-healing. This is a daily practice of intentional and small steps that, over time, can transform mental and emotional well-being.
“People often think healing requires a grand breakthrough or a perfect plan,” Riaz says. “In reality, it is the small and consistent actions like journaling for five minutes, taking a slow walk, or telling someone how you feel that create the foundation for lasting resilience. Micro-healing saves lives because it keeps people moving forward even when big change feels impossible.”
What is Micro-Healing?
According to Muzzammil Riaz, micro-healing integrates manageable and evidence-based mental health actions into everyday life. These steps are designed to reduce emotional overwhelm and help individuals take back a sense of control. This is especially important during periods of burnout, grief, or anxiety.
Examples include:
-
Drinking a glass of water before morning coffee
-
Taking three deep and intentional breaths during stressful moments
-
Writing down one thing you are grateful for before bed
-
Spending ten minutes outside regardless of the weather
-
Speaking honestly with one person about how you are feeling
“None of these actions sound revolutionary,” Riaz says. “That is exactly the point. They are realistic, repeatable, and sustainable. Most importantly, they help people see that change is possible without overhauling an entire life overnight.”
The Research Backs It Up
Studies in psychology and neuroscience show that small and repeated behaviors can rewire neural pathways. This makes emotional regulation more accessible over time. Micro-healing works because it focuses on achievable wins that build momentum. This approach counters the all-or-nothing thinking that often stalls recovery.
Muzzammil Riaz emphasizes that micro-healing is not a replacement for professional care when needed. It is a complementary framework that empowers people to take charge of their daily mental health.
Why This Matters Now
The urgency behind Riaz’s message comes from his experience as a nurse during extreme strain on healthcare systems. He has seen the toll that chronic stress, unprocessed trauma, and isolation can take on patients and healthcare workers.
“Mental health conversations are more common now. Implementation is where people struggle,” he explains. “You can read a hundred self-help books and still feel stuck if you do not know where to start. Micro-healing gives people a starting point. It is something they can begin today rather than someday.”
From Bedside to Global Advocacy
Through Trust The Process, Riaz has built an online community where vulnerability is valued and stigma is challenged. His honest storytelling connects especially with men who have been told to stay silent about emotional pain.
His mantra, “healing isn’t linear,” reflects his own journey. He balances the demands of healthcare work, academic excellence, philanthropy, and personal growth. In addition to his mental health advocacy, Riaz has supported humanitarian efforts such as funding clean water wells through the Paani Project. This reinforces his belief that healing extends beyond the individual and into the community.
A Call to Action
Riaz invites workplaces, schools, and community organizations to integrate micro-healing practices into their cultures. He envisions a future where emotional well-being is as routine as brushing teeth or locking your front door.
“You do not need to wait for a crisis to take care of your mind,” he says. “If we treat mental health maintenance the same way we treat physical hygiene, we can prevent suffering before it escalates.”
About Muzzammil Riaz
Muzzammil Riaz is a registered nurse, wellness advocate, and the founder of Trust The Process, a digital platform dedicated to mental health, healing, and authentic growth. He blends clinical knowledge with emotional insight to help individuals navigate burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. Through honest storytelling, education, and community outreach, he challenges stigma, promotes self-compassion, and reminds people that their truth is enough.

Henry Mauriss Calls for New, Integrated Approach to Homelessness
ClearTV CEO and Joshua’s Collective founder urges action on long-term, human-focused solutions to California’s housing crisis
Los Angeles, CA, 18th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Entrepreneur and media executive Henry Mauriss is urging civic leaders, business owners, and everyday Californians to support a more comprehensive, systems-level response to homelessness. As founder of Joshua’s Collective, a new initiative designed to address housing, addiction, mental health, and employment together, Mauriss says the current piecemeal approach isn’t working—and it’s time to rethink the model.
“You can’t just build beds and hope the problem disappears,” says Mauriss. “People need more than a roof. They need treatment, support, skills, and a plan forward.”
Why It Matters Now
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, California is home to nearly 30% of the nation’s homeless population, with 181,399 people experiencing homelessness in 2024 alone. In Los Angeles County, the number has risen by 9% in just the last year, despite record spending.
“We’re spending billions, but the results don’t reflect that,” Mauriss says. “Because we’re treating symptoms, not systems.”
Mauriss compares the issue to poor design in business operations. “If you don’t build around real use cases, your system breaks down. That’s what’s happening with homelessness solutions,” he explains.
A Holistic Model for Sustainable Recovery
Through Joshua’s Collective, Mauriss is advocating for integrated campuses that provide not just shelter, but also:
-
On-site mental health and addiction services
-
Vocational training and job placement
-
Transitional housing with long-term stability plans
-
Access to peer support and mentorship
“We’re not just trying to reduce numbers,” Mauriss says. “We’re trying to restore lives.”
This model is inspired by his own background in business, where he led scalable platforms like ClearTV and Credit America Corporation. He believes that the same focus on systems, infrastructure, and measurable outcomes should be applied to public service.
“It’s not about charity—it’s about precision. If you treat this like a business problem, you build a better solution,” he explains.
A Call to Action for Citizens and Cities
Mauriss is not asking people to wait for legislation or billion-dollar budgets. He’s encouraging local ownership and action, starting with simple steps:
-
Learn the root causes of homelessness in your area
-
Partner with local service providers to support recovery-oriented programmes
-
Volunteer time or donate resources to organisations addressing addiction and mental health, not just housing
-
Push for better city-level coordination between public and private sector leaders
-
Educate others on why short-term solutions fall short
“Big change doesn’t start at the top. It starts with people who care, acting where they are,” Mauriss says.
He also urges businesses to rethink how they engage with their communities. “Employers have a role. We can’t say we care about workforce development and ignore the thousands of people who are one opportunity away from stability,” he says.
Why This Isn’t Just Another Project
Unlike many one-off programmes or shelter expansions, Joshua’s Collective is designed to scale—with clear metrics for success, reintegration, and personal growth.
Mauriss believes that real progress happens when data and dignity work together.
“We can’t solve complex problems with shallow answers. But we can solve them—if we build the right tools.”
About Henry Mauriss
Henry Mauriss is the CEO of ClearTV, a multimedia network operating in the U.S., UK, and Europe, with expansion plans into South Korea. He is also the founder of Credit America Corporation and Joshua’s Collective. With over 30 years of experience in consumer marketing and systems design, Mauriss is now focused on sustainable, scalable solutions to California’s homelessness crisis.

FOLOMOV Debuts A7 Dual-Tone Flashlight on Kickstarter
Next-generation pocket torch fuses laser-grade spotlight with flood array, doubles as 5,000 mAh power bank
HONG KONG, 19 August , 2025 — FOLOMOV, the Hong Kong-based lighting innovator known for pushing lumen limits without adding grams, today launched its latest creation: the A7 flashlight. Live now on Kickstarter, the A7 pairs a 20-watt warm-white laser center with six cool-white flood LEDs, delivering a 3,000-lumen dual-tone beam that can cut through fog or gently illuminate a campsite without stealing night vision.

At 255 grams and the size of a commuter mug, the A7 contains a 5,000 mAh 26650 cell capable of 130 hours on whisper mode or a full smartphone recharge in emergency situations. A single side switch cycles four brightness levels, bursts into SOS/strobe, and toggles the signature “blend” mode—both tones firing simultaneously for a sunset-like wash that reaches 220 meters.
“We didn’t just upgrade specs,” said spokesperson. “We rewrote the rulebook for what a pocket light can do.” The IPX6-sealed aluminum body survives downpours and drops, while USB-C fast-charge brings the unit from empty to full in roughly two hours.
Early-bird backers receive the A7 at launch pricing and lifetime support. Campaign details and real-time updates are available on the official Kickstarter page.
About FOLOMOV
Founded in 2018, FOLOMOV specializes in ultra-portable lighting solutions for adventurers, first responders and everyday carry enthusiasts. The company’s previous crowdfunding campaigns have shipped to 48 countries and continue to earn industry recognition for reliability and innovation.
