Enhance your Clinical Practice
... with a HEALTH COACHING PROGRAM!
True healing takes time and commitment - working with the patient/client, helping them see their food/health world differently, then dismantling all the things they were doing that caused the problem, and guiding them through a journey that builds the new mindset and habits necessary to enable true healing and sustainable wellbeing.
​
Health coaching is the key to making that happen.

Benefits
Reduce Burnout
You have enough to do navigating our modern health care system. The stressors of keeping up with patient loads and administrative duties leaves little time for going deep into the details of HOW to heal with your patients. A health coaching service will do that for you - your patients get the support they need and you avoid burning out.
Reduce Costs
It typically costs 5x more to recruit a new patient vs keep an existing one. If patients can't implement the solutions you recommend, frustration may build and they may go elsewhere to seek solutions. By teaching them HOW to build sustainable health habits through a health coaching practice your patients are more likely to stay with you.
Increase Revenue
Health insurance companies are wising up to the benefits of funding root cause solutions, rather than paying hefty bills for major medical interventions that just manage symptoms. They recognize Health Coaching is a critical component to gaining cost efficiencies, and are starting to include them in the Category III CPT codes.
It's just a matter of time before we see Health Coaching become a Category I service. Get ahead of the curve by having your coaching practice ready to benefit from these changes.
Sustainable Outcomes
Health coaches provide patients with the necessary support and accountability, so they can properly develop the mindset and habits that will deliver sustainable wellbeing outcomes.
Stronger Practice
Health coaches can answer basic practice questions during the coaching sessions and other events offered, thus lowering the burden placed on other staff members, enabling them to deliver more valued functions within your practice.
Greater Job Satisfaction
As a board certified Lifestyle Physician, root cause care is at the core of who you are, and everything you do. Having a health coaching component in your practice allows you to truly deliver on that mission.
