Meet Miguel

For member Miguel Rivas, thrive means being able to choose
a doctor who shares his cultural background, finding healthier
ways to prepare traditional family recipes, and knowing his
electronic health record won’t get lost in translation.

Your mind,
body, and
soul have a
frequency

tune in

Shake, rattle, and roll your way to better health

Turning on some tunes or listening to healthy podcasts can help you manage depression, reduce stress, get pumped up for a workout, or fall asleep faster.

Here’s how music helps us feel good:

Rhythm

helps your body and mind, boosting performance for daily activities

Complexity

in music can either sooth or invigorate us, such as soft melodies or upbeat harmonies

Tempo

gives our bodies either a boost of energy or can calm our nerves

Tone

that’s mellow like an acoustic guitar or piano is calming, while stronger sounds like horns or electric guitars energize us

Ready to have a listen for yourself? Try our collection of powerful tunes and healthy podcasts.
