How does a integrative nutritionist, body worker & NLP (neurolinguistic programming) Renewing of the mind practitioner increase the quality of care and help physicians to practice better medicine?
Research suggests that up to 85 percent of chronic disease is caused by diet & lifestyle factors.
That means, in most cases, that the solution involves changes to those diet & lifestyle factors.
As you know, making behavior changes like that can be difficult for patients to do on their own.
Not long ago in my practice, I realized that I could serve my clients better if I could offer them more frequent support. If they were going to successfully change their habits, then seeing me once every 30 to 60 days was not going to be enough.
Clients making diet/lifestyle changes need more help: they need more detailed questions answered, support for sticking with the protocol, and modifications to their program when necessary.
Clinicians are often too busy with other patients to provide this intensive level of care, but it’s the perfect role for a nutritionist, body worker & NLP counselor with the proper training.
Most people suffering from chronic symptoms aren’t bad enough that they need to be in the hospital. They could certainly still benefit from a comprehensive functional medicine approach. But in many cases diet, lifestyle, and behavioral changes may be all they need to mostly or even completely resolve their symptoms.
So, even if you are working with a licensed clinician, you should consider working with a skilled health / life coach, nutritionist provider to get the support you need to change habits & follow through with protocols successfully.
