Health Goals

What are your health goals for 2023?

We started asking that since before 2022 ends..

In the clinic..

To start prepping for the new year

Why not get a head start?

She:

“Um get better BP?”

Not what you think you want me to hear

For real … what 3 goals do you have for your new year? Health wise … I added

“ I wanna feel better doc”

“I wanna lose this weight”

“I wanna get off these meds ”

I took notes in the chart

great!

What are 2-3 things you can do for each item … for real…

That you can commit to doing …

And how can I help you reach them?

we discussed starting with a health coach - an accountability partner to help nudge you virtually on your health goals

we discussed 2 ”ten” minute exercises while at work … timed and all

we negotiated sleep time up from 5.5 hrs to 7hrs

We discussed medication adjustments

Timelines

And follow up

She beamed

“I think I can do this doc”

Oh I bet you can!


Rooting for you,
Dr. O
