It’s open enrollment time for insurance. Insurance can be really difficult to navigate. The Medicare Helpline is a free information resource, staffed by insurance experts. These experts are there to help seniors and caregivers learn about Medicare. The Medicare Helpline will be open on November 29, 2022 for all insurance-related questions.
The Medicare Helpline event is hosted by News 3 and sponsored by Intermountain Healthcare. News 3 teamed up with Intermountain Healthcare and their myGeneration Senior Clinics to answer your toughest Medicare questions. This is the last Medicare Helpline of the year and Clark County community members are encouraged not to miss it. This is a rare and beneficial opportunity to speak with an independent, licensed insurance expert in Las Vegas.
Chris Raon is a licensed broker here in Nevada and he is part of the Medicare Helpline. As a recent quest on Talking Solutions, Chris spoke with Wendy about why community members should call on November 29. Enrolling in Medicare and choosing a plan is one of the most important decisions someone might make this year. And Medicare’s annual enrollment period closes on December 7, so now is the time to get questions answered.
If you do still have questions about Medicare, Chris urges you to call the helpline to speak with an independent Nevada-licensed insurance agent who can explain the complexities of Medicare in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Chris goes into detail about why a local, licensed broker is also your best option for insurance.
The Medicare Helpline can help prospective clients understand the basics of Medicare, including enrollment periods, coverage options, and the benefits that come with the Medicare Advantage plans. Save the date for November 29 from 5am to 7pm to call the Medicare Helpline at 702-637-0509. And listen to Chris’s chat with Wendy to help you know what to expect.
The original air date of this podcast was November 20, 2022.

5 Easy Ways To Manage Stress
1. Breathing
Breathing is an excellent way to manage stress in any situation. Just sit in a comfortable chair or lie down. Breathe in while counting to 3 and out while counting to 4. This tells your body to slow down and relax.
2. Yoga
Yoga has pretty much been dubbed the poster child of relaxation. And for good reason. Yoga combines the discipline of the body with the focus of the mind. And it incorporates lots of breathing. Which we’ve already mentioned is great for stress-relief.
3. Nature Walk
Have you ever wondered why some cities have super chill people living there? Pay attention to how much nature they are surrounded by. Spending some time in nature has been found to help a variety of mental health issues, like anxiety and depression. Taking a walk through trees or along a water bank can have significant stress-relieving benefits.
4. Tai Chi
Much like Yoga, Tai Chi is a practice that combines body and mind with a series of breathing and poses. Tai Chi is usually gentler than Yoga, so it’s great for the elderly or people with physical limitations. But it has great benefits for anyone who wants to incorporate it into their lives.
5. Gardening
This one might comes as a surprise. But have you ever noticed you’re sore after an afternoon of gardening? There’s a lot of stretching, bending and holding core poses involved in it. Digging and carrying around pottery also works out those arms and elevates your heartrate. Plus, with the added benefit of being around nature, it’s like a twofer!
