Hero is a medication management service that includes a medication management app, smart device, and integrated refill/delivery.
Basically, you program your medication schedule into the app and the smart device stores, sorts and dispenses up to a 90-day supply and it can hold up to 10 medications. You can track an additional 10 in the app.
When I was diagnosed with lupus, my whole world changed. I went from being an active 14-year-old to a teenager who was suddenly in pain and taking a minimum of 7 pills a day. It was a frustrating transition, but I think I handled it well. Early on, my mom had me learn about how insurance works and how to refill my medications through the pharmacy. Even though I was still just a kid, I am thankful that she taught me how to manage my health early on.
Throughout the years, I have tried a few different methods for managing my medications. With pill organizers, I found that I never ended up refilling them. I tried using alarms on my phone but if I was out and about, I would forget to take my meds once I got back home. It wasn’t until I partnered with Hero Health that I found the perfect way to manage my medications. If I would've had access to Hero as a teen with a chronic illness, it would have been a great way for me to manage my medications while adding my parents as caregivers (in the Hero app) to help track my medication adherence.

My name is Samantha Wayne and I have been creating advocacy videos on KZbin since 2009. This channel was formerly known as Live Hope Lupus and was created in order to start a community for those living with chronic illnesses. In September 2019, I transitioned to a plant-based diet and I have found my body is responding well to it. Along with my lifestyle change, I am learning to alter my focus more on the positive. My current content will focus on my healing journey, what food I am eating, and everyday life. I will still be posting an occasional update about my health. I hope you all are ready to join me on this crazy journey of healing. We are all learning how to navigate this life together. If you have subscribed, thank you! I appreciate your support and look forward to talking with you all in the comments.

Dear Samantha, I really appreciate your efforts to spread the information. The information you are sharing is very helpful. I am from India, suffering with Sjogren's syndrome and Raynaud's disease. My reports came negative for sjogrens but still I have most of the symptoms. I will have to get it rechecked soon. This video gave me a clear picture about how to prepare raw vegan diet, can you also make a video on vitamin supplements you are taking along with your high raw vegan diet? Thank you in advance.

Nice blog! Nice Menu! I make videos too and just recently started adding what my family eats in a day videos. I’m looking out for new ideas to keep my families meals interesting! Thank you for sharing this is informative and helpful! I’d love to support and learn from one another!

Loved the video.

Thank you!

Is oatmeal part of the protocol?

[@Senedissak]

Very nice

[@paint_freckles]

Your food looks delicious. I can no longer drink coffee because of the dryness in my mouth and I have the burning tongue syndrome. Also I do not have enough saliva to chew raw vegetables anymore. This limits what I can eat especially healthy food. I find myself constantly repeating the same 4 or 5 Meals it is so boring And depressing. The only time my mouth and tongue does not burn it's when I am chewing the doctor told me that it's the only way my mouth produces salava is when it is stimulated this makes it very difficult to lose weight because I am always wanting to chew to stop the burning especially at night when it is worse. I take xanax to help calm down at night and go to sleep and then I am hung over the next day it is a vicious cycle. It is so hard to explain to someone who does not understand.

[@HealWithSamantha]

Oh Angie, I’m sorry you’re dealing with all of that. I can’t imagine what that must feel like. I deal with dry mouth but nothing like what you’re dealing with. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@paint_freckles]

@@HealWithSamantha Thank you Samantha thank you for your channel I am sorry this started with you so young mine did not start until my Thirties. Thank you for the link to the purple carrot that sounds like a great idea getting those meals delivered.

[@debbief9861]

Oh dear.

[@susanschweitzer1090]

I have. Sle lupus. Fibromyalgia. And Lymes disease blood disorder. And rymatory arthritis I thought. Cabbage wasn’t good for. Lupus?????

[@HealWithSamantha]

Very interesting, where did you hear that from? I personally went into clinical remission after eating around two cabbages a week lol.

[@susanschweitzer1090]

I’m thinking back six years ago my rhymotologist told me that?? But sometimes I get mixed up🤦🏽‍♀️but when I try my stomach blows up

[@jmc8076]

@@susanschweitzer1090 Try sml cabbage juice first maybe diluted with water and or lighy steam a sml amount. Sounds like you need to let your microbiome change. Give yourself min 2 months or more to work up to sml amts of raw cabbage. Hope this helps. ✌️🌎

What is your job?

[@HealWithSamantha]

I am currently working for a nonprofit part time. I also make supplemental income through content creation. I tried working full time in the past and unfortunately my body did not respond well.
