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:
- 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
- How to tell the difference between a practitioner who's a total jerk (they're out there!) and someone who is trying to help you see beyond your comfort zone
- How to tell if it's time to dump your doctor, or if the relationship can be salvaged
- Best practices for establishing new practitioner-client relationships and making sure it's the right fit
