Achieving Personal Empowerment: Regaining Control of Your Own Health

A growing number of patients are discouraged by their current healthcare encounters wasting time and money on ineffective care plans. When we asked our first 50 patients why they reached out to us for a different approach they echoed the same 6 answers: 1) Ineffective treatments and therapies from a one-size-fits-all clinical model, 2) Lack of patient-provider visit time and communication, 3) Lack of empathy and accountability from previous providers, 4) Their previous providers where overly-focused on addressing the diagnosis or symptoms without addressing the entire patient, 5) Patients felt they were not involved in the decision-making process of their own treatments, and 6) Patients felt they were never given resources and tools to take responsibility for their own health from previous providers.

In a broken healthcare system, where do the motivated, health-conscious patients go for education, empowerment, and encouragement as they learn to regain control of their own health? We’ve spent the last 5 years refining our answer to that question. Palm Beach Health Coaching is the result of the obsessive scrutiny and deconstruction of antiquated models that no longer serve us and the reconstruction of a refreshing alternative - a model that disorients the patient away from a patient-mill system that primarily revolves around sickness and symptom management and reorients them back into a shared decision-making approach and being in the center of their own healthcare with optimal health as the end goal. Said differently, our goal with this program is to restore faith in the healthcare system by doing it the right way with higher standards across the patient experience.

We offer a wide selection of packages and programs for patients around the world, across the entire human experience (sickness, wellness, and fitness), with the singular goal of promoting patient-empowerment and autonomy - and professionally deliver products, services, and learning resources in a way that not only addresses their current healthcare needs but also aims to minimize the risk of developing the preventable illnesses consistently listed in the top 10 causes of death in the United States. Each package and program begins with the irreducible and ecumenical fundamentals of health and progresses into more advanced and personalized topics as the patient progresses, offering unrushed patient experience with extended appointment times where patients can express their concerns, ask their questions, and tell their stories. Patients need to feel heard.

Patient empowerment is ultimately about taking control of your health and making positive decisions towards what you truly want out of life. Patient empowerment is closely linked to attributes like self-awareness, self-esteem and self-confidence, but true empowerment comes when you convert intention to action (self-actualization). It's not what you're capable of, but what you're willing to do. You can do it. We can help.

As Bruce Lee famously said, ”Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”

Looking Forward,
