How do people overcome insurmountable, even impossible odds recovering from a health event? How do people live better when everyone says they’re not supposed to with a chronic condition? Is there a method to these supposed miracles? In the vast majority of cases, miracles don’t just appear out of thin air. Miracles Are Made.
Hello Treat Us Righters! Welcome to Season 3 Episode 8 of the Treat Us Right Podcast - Make A Miracle. I am your Host, David S. Williams III, CEO of Care3 and I’m here this episode to do the same thing I do every episode. Trying to get you the best health and care possible.
I’m back to talking to you–directly in your ear. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re listening, it’s likely you or someone close to you.
How do people overcome insurmountable, even impossible odds recovering from a health event? How do people live better when everyone says they’re not supposed to with a chronic condition? Is there a method to these supposed miracles?

Get Started! Your Personalized Logs
Your Care Tasks, Appointments, and Meds/Supplements Logs have reminders of activities to complete (what we call Actions) based on what you told us in your Personalization Survey.
Let’s get started by getting acquainted with your (or your loved one’s) personalized Logs. Your Logs are on your Home screen and are organized by topic and have activities based on your responses to the Personalization Survey.
Care Tasks, Appointments, Meds/Supplements Logs
Your Care Tasks, Appointments, and Meds/Supplements Logs have reminders of activities to complete (what we call Actions) based on what you told us in your Personalization Survey.
When you receive an Action reminder in one of your personalized Logs (e.g., Care Tasks Log):
1. Tap the red “accept” button to indicate that you will complete the task. The Action will be automatically added to your My Actions calendar/to-do list.
The button changes to a darker red “done” button.
2. Tap the darker red “done” button when the Action is complete.
MyMITO then indicates that the Action task is done by showing the check mark next to done in the white box.
That’s it! Everything gets done. Nothing falls through the cracks. MyMITO is personalized to your needs!
Tip: If you want to add Notes about the activity, you simply tap on the reminder. A form appears where you can add Notes at the bottom.
Symptoms/Events/Vitals
In your Symptoms/Events/Vitals Log, you receive reminders to track the symptoms and vitals that matter to you based on responses to your Personalization Survey.. Each symptom and vital looks like the image on the right when it comes into the MyMITO mobile app.
Tracking Symptoms
1. To track a symptom, tap the green “+” button.
2. In the box that appears, scroll to select None, Mild, Moderate, or Severe. Tap “Done”.
You are now returned to the Log area and can see the symptom severity you entered. Well done!
MyMITO automatically creates charts from your symptoms so you can discover any hidden trends.
3. Tap the “chart icon” on the right to view a real-time graph of your entries. Each day you will be adding to this chart when you add your symptom level.
Over time, your charts will look like the image on the right and you will see how your symptoms experiences change over time.
What happened on the good days? You want to repeat those. Avoid the triggers that caused the bad days. That’s how you can use the charts to feel better each day!
Tracking Vitals
Tracking vitals is very similar to tracking symptoms.
1. To track a vital, tap the green “+” button. Enter the numerical value of the vital in the box that appears.
2. Tap “Done” to return to the Log.
3. Tap the “chart icon” to see a trended graph of vital entries.
See? Very similar to tracking symptoms. Simple.
Summary
With your Symptoms/Events/Vitals Log you will get:
automated reminders for common symptoms and vitals to track each day
immediate real-time charts of your experience with mito so you can make decisions
In your Personalized Logs, you can also:
add health history files like labs, and other test results
report unexpected events to make sure you mention them at your doctor visits
share and revoke access to anyone
add media (photos, video, audio) to give more context
My Actions Calendar & To-Do List
The My Actions calendar scans all of your personalized Logs and organizes all tasks, appointments, symptoms and vitals by day and time they’re due. It’s easy to see everything that has to be done each day!
The My Actions daily dashboard and calendar scans all of your personalized Logs and organizes all tasks, appointments, symptoms and vitals by day and time they’re due. It’s easy to see everything that has to get done each day!
View My Actions Daily Dashboard
On the Home screen bottom navigation, tap the “calendar heart” icon (next to the “Home” icon).
My Actions Daily Dashboard
On the top half of the My Actions dashboard, you will see a calendar for each month. The default day is “today” and highlighted by a pink box.
The bottom half shows your actions (tasks, appointments, symptoms or vitals) to be completed that day. Scroll down to see all activities scheduled for the day.
If an action button appears (a “+” button for symptoms/vitals or an “accept” button for tasks/appointments), the action is ready to be completed. If there is no action button, the action is scheduled for later.
You can complete any action or enter symptoms/vitals directly from the My Actions dashboard! Simply tap the action button to indicate if it’s done or enter the symptom level of vital value.
With the My Actions daily dashboard, it’s easy to complete activities without having to go into each personalized Log.

Season 3 Episode 6 (25): ViVE Health Equity Series - Expect and Wolomi
In this episode, two companies focused on women's health and wellness are featured. The first company, Expect, is a streaming fitness platform specifically designed for pregnancy and postnatal fitness. The workouts on Expect are approved by OBGYNs and aim to improve outcomes for both mothers and babies. The founder, Dara Cook, discusses the importance of maternal fitness and the need to make it accessible to all women, especially women of color who are disproportionately affected by maternal mortality rates. The second company, Wolomi, is a digital platform that provides support and resources for women of color during their pregnancy and motherhood journey. The founder, Layo George, emphasizes the importance of creating a safe space for moms and addressing maternal mental health. Both companies are working towards promoting health equity and overcoming challenges such as fundraising and partnering with health plans.
If you’ve been paying any attention to health news and health equity discussions over the past few years, you know that the maternal mortality rate for Black women is 2.6 TIMES the rate for white women in the RICHEST country in the world. This is unacceptable.
The two founders we’re talking to today are standing up for women and pushing a system that continuously underserves women of color by design, to work for all women, and thus, all of US.
Welcome to Treat Us Right, Expect and Wolomi.
