MedX Health Corp. Names John Gevisser as Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Gevisser previously held the position of Chief Digital Officer at Health Partners Group, the United Kingdom's largest provider of occupational health services, where he led the company's technology and data strategy. He also oversaw their strategic partnerships and operationalized MedX's UK pilot programs. Before that, he served as Vice President of Growth & Development at Vitality Group in the United States, where he was responsible for commercializing Vitality's direct-to-consumer network and managing its global partnership with Apple Health and Apple Watch. Vitality operates the world's largest wellness platform.
As MedX's CEO, Gevisser will focus on expanding MedX's international footprint, advancing the commercialization of its technology platform, and accelerating revenue-generating opportunities.
"John brings deep expertise in digital health and a global perspective that will prove invaluable as we scale MedX's operations," said Mike Druhan, MedX President, Dermatology Services. "His ability to execute international growth strategies and navigate an evolving healthcare landscape positions MedX for long-term success."
"Skin cancer is a largely preventable condition, and employers and insurers are increasingly adopting preventative strategies to reduce the costs of workplace absenteeism," said John Gevisser. "As a former client, I saw firsthand how seamlessly MedX's hardware and software delivered peace of mind and fast-tracked access to dermatologists for hundreds of UK employees. This non-invasive technology platform is highly scalable, so the goal is to make this technology available to the at-risk population through occupational healthcare and insurance providers globally. The true strength of MedX lies not only in the speed of its assessments but also in the clinical accuracy of its results. These are exciting times for MedX as its unique solution to at-risk patients in the workplace is gaining market acceptance."
While passing over the CEO role to Mr. Gevisser, Stephen Lockyer will remain as President of MedX. "The Board and shareholders of MedX are immensely grateful to Stephen, who stepped up as a Director, CEO and President in 2023 and has been a very significant contributor to the development and advances made by the Company since that time," said Ken McKay, Chairman of the Board.

18 Things That Are Actually Really Healthy, Despite Many People Thinking They're Not
I don't know about you, but it feels like there's a new health fad every week. First, there was intermittent fasting, then there was keto, and now, people are arguing about seed oils. I'm struggling to keep up. With so many narratives about certain things being "bad" for you, I'm starting to forget that some of that just isn't true. Luckily, I stumbled upon one Reddit thread (which you can see here), where people listed the "unhealthy" things that are actually really good for you, and it's a refreshing reminder. Related: Here are 18 things that are perfectly healthy and fine to do, despite some people thinking otherwise: Everything in moderation is key. 1."Doing nothing. Having a moment of silence." –Turtleballoon123 2."Put the baby on the floor. Babies don't always need to be in a bouncer, swing, jumper, walker, rocker, chair, etc. They do great on the floor in a safe space." –SleepXParalysis 3."It is really healthy to process some emotions and thoughts on your own. The people who have the most peace and clarity are people who can sort, experience, sit in, and evaluate their feelings without having to put it out to other people for other people to tell them what to think, feel, and do." –OptmstcExstntlst 4."Frozen vegetables. It's seen as cheap and not as good as fresh, when in fact, it's almost always healthier than 'fresh' vegetables." –Hufe Related: 5."You do not have to show up to every argument you are invited to." –Bravely_Default 6."Sleeping all day when you're exhausted. As my trainer says: If you're actually falling asleep, you clearly needed it." –EndlesslyUnfinished 7."Potatoes. It's the oil and what we do to them that makes them high in calories and unhealthy." –yamammiwammi 8."Popcorn. Without all the artificial butter flavorings and low-quality oils, of course. Popcorn is a whole grain, and super high in fiber. As far as snacks go, it's about as good as it gets." –Its_Waffle Related: 9."Being around dirt. Especially for kids. Exposure to a natural, somewhat dirty environment helps your immune system develop properly, which in turn helps reduce the chance of developing allergies or immune system diseases, and even reduces some mental health issues." –the_original_retro 10."Salt. It's been demonized by the 'health' industry for years, but it is WILDLY necessary for damn near everything in your body." –Secret-Spinach-5080 11."Having fat in your body, not an excessive amount, though. You don't need to be ripped with a completely flat stomach to be healthy." –PlasticScheme3609 12."Chocolate.... the right kind. Dark chocolate with 80% or more cocoa has massive amounts of extremely healthy stuff in it. It makes your body release stem cells in the blood, which repair almost everything." –BubiMannKuschelForce 13."Being angry. It's as valid an emotion as any, and sometimes you just need to be angry and let it out. Reacting in anger is never a good thing, though." –TheYankunian Related: 14."Saying no to children and letting them feel sadness sometimes so they can appreciate joy eventually." "My mother-in-law's grandchildren are so spoiled that nothing can make them happy; they are completely self-absorbed and never say a thank you, and they can get absolutely anything they want anytime. I've never seen children like that, and I believe that while she has good intentions, this might be harmful later." –cesonis 15."Giving your body a chance to fight off minor illnesses before turning immediately to antibiotics/virals. Like no, don't let that dog bite fester your arm right off your shoulder, but if you can walk through the sinus infection with a bottle of NyQuil, do that." –alphaturducken 16."Playing video games in moderation." –AromaticHydrocarbons 17."Not showering every day (you can wash sensitive spots every day, though, if you want to, that's understandable)." –Seirazula 18."Fruit. There are people out there who think fruit has too much sugar 🙄 " "I had a woman who full-on believed this sentence. She said, 'I'm being bad and getting a banana, it's my sugary treat.' BE SO REAL RN OMFG. Sugar isn't the enemy people!!! Moderation and sugar that our body can process easily is the key. Honey, maple syrup, sugar in fruit, and less processed/not bleached sugar are fine! Pure cane sugar is yummy, your generic sugar has so much stuff in it, the less processed (processed isn't bad since we need some of it), the better!" –MrCabrera0695 What else belongs on this list?
