Having imposter syndrome isn't fun — but it can be the key to unlocking your potential, according to Barbara Corcoran. In a recent TikTok video, the 74-year-old real estate millionaire said professionals should be grateful to have such self-doubt. "If you're struggling with imposter syndrome, good for you," she said. When you make it a habit to try harder than your peers, you'll inadvertently build self-assurance, Corcoran said. Corcoran, a co-star on ABC's "Shark Tank," even looks for imposter syndrome among the show's contestants — so she can prioritize investing in their companies.

Did you celebrate yourself, or did it feel too good to be true? If you experienced the latter, you were likely dealing with imposter syndrome, "a perceived sense of being a fraud," according to Dora Kamau, a mindfulness and meditation teacher at Headspace. Imposter syndrome is a process that 9% to 82% of people experience, with the rate angling higher for communities of color, a study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine found. Thankfully, you can process your emotions and boost your confidence through reciting affirmations to yourself and participating in other empowering practices, says Kamau. Here are a few positive affirmations that Kamau suggests saying to yourself whenever your inner-voice is making you feel small.
Hospitals are charging patients for their emails and other correspondence with doctors. Some hospital officials say the strategy increases healthcare access, but advocates worry charges could deter patients who need care.

But advocates worry the strategy will lead patients to avoid seeking care when they need it, for fear of being charged.
There is no evidence to support claims recently made online that vitamin D is “the most effective medicine against cancer” or that taking the vitamin prevents cancer or lowers the odds of dying from the disease, according to scientific analyses. In a follow-up analysis of the data (here ) , the same team found that taking vitamin D was associated with lower incidence of advanced cancers, but only among normal-weight individuals. If it can be confirmed, they said vitamin D might help slow cancer progression at lower cost than current cancer drugs,“Even if vitamin D effects were modest, vitamin D supplementation at the studied levels is much less toxic and lower cost than many current cancer therapies.”The researchers, however, did not suggest it would be more effective than existing cancer treatments. There is no evidence that vitamin D prevents cancer, or treats cancer more effectively than existing medicines. A large research review found no effect on cancer incidence or mortality from taking vitamin D. A large clinical trial found a possible slowing of cancer progression in people who do develop tumors, and concluded that if the effect could be confirmed, vitamin D might provide a “modest” benefit.
