-Diagnosis and treatment of medical problems, with reversal and prevention as goals.
-Whole person care.
-Promotion of lifestyle, especially diet changes, might be the top thing you can do, and that takes initiative by the patient, and conversation.
-Although lifestyle changes can be done on your own, it is hard to make sense of it all, and it is nice to have a health partner who is on your side who can illuminate resources you might not find, and who can support the human side of your health. People are not robots, there is a stress or mental side of health. This should be part of the practice of medicine. Mental health and medical providers exist too much in silos, and considering stressors should be part of the practice of medicine.
-Making America Healthy Again is long overdue, the obesity/ chronic disease epidemic can not be solved by medicines alone.
