Integrative Living/ Finding My way Back to Me

I have posted before about a relationship with your doctor and had some conversation on the topic. I do believe that your doctor should hold the same vision for your health that you do. For example, if you are very proactive and enjoy a vision of health that includes nutrition, movement, mind body, yoga and more, your doctor should support you there. If you prefer to take medication and not pursue complimentary treatments, your doctor should also know you and support you. In each version your doctor should be giving you information to make informed decisions. I need to personally like my doctors/ I do not do well with someone who does not make eye contact with me or let me speak. I do not recommend having a passive relationship with your medical people. The worse case scenario is having a life changing health situation and then realizing that you and your doctor do not have the same vision of health for you. This is just like shopping. You are the consumer and can generally pick the provider you prefer.
