So many people are silently dissatisfied in healthcare relationships. Whether you’re working with a doctor, nutritionist, therapist, or coach, it’s important to set boundaries and advocate for yourself. In this episode, I’m joined by my colleague, Michael Rutherford, NTP, and we discuss how to cultivate healthy relationships in healthcare settings.
What’s Covered in Episode 8
- Why dissatisfaction is at an all-time high in healthcare relationships
- How to advocate for yourself in a doctor-patient or practitioner-client relationship, even when you’re exhausted and feel hopeless
- When to push for the lab testing you want, and when it might not be the best idea
- How to have difficult conversations with your practitioner
