“To change behaviours that lead to chronic disease, doctors aren’t enough…

We don’t need more information – or more doctors – to solve the problem…

Health Coaches are the solution…

Coaches and doctors working together: the best of all worlds.”

~ Tony Robbins

 

“Health coaches support patients in making lasting diet, lifestyle, and behavior changes, free up physician time, and improve patient outcomes.”

“…most doctors, nurses, and physician assistants aren’t trained in behaviour change. Instead, they are trained in the “expert” model of care, where they simply tell patients what to do and expect them to do it. This works when the patient is facing an acute health issue, but it fails miserably for long-term behavioural changes like managing stress, starting an exercise routine, or losing weight. For most people, information itself does not change behaviour. Behaviour change happens at home, not in the clinic.”
