From Chaos to Clarity: Operationalizing Lifestyle Medicine
In this episode of the MyVivaPlan Lifestyle Medicine Podcast, host Michael Dargie engages with experts Loreen Wales and Dr. Prerana Rudrapatna to discuss the operationalization of lifestyle medicine in clinical practice. They explore the challenges of chronic disease management, the importance of patient-centered care, and how MyVivaPlan serves as a bridge between healthcare providers and patients. The conversation emphasizes the need for sustainable behavior change, the integration of technology in healthcare, and the significance of personalized care in improving health outcomes. takeaways Chronic disease management is often chaotic and overwhelming for patients. Patients feel unsupported and labeled as non-compliant due to systemic issues. A shift towards relationship-centered care is essential for effective healthcare. Healthcare providers face cognitive overload due to high patient volumes. MyVivaPlan offers a structured approach to lifestyle medicine. Empowering patients with tools for self-management is crucial. Over 70-80% of chronic diseases are preventable with proper support. Behavior change requires gradual, sustainable steps rather than quick fixes. Technology can enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery. Personalized care is key to meeting individual patient needs. Sound Bites "Patients aren't non-compliant. They're not supported." "The healthcare system is broken in such a way." "We need a structure to change the way we practice." "It's the how that patients are looking for." "We have to listen to where patients are at." "We need to give people the system they are able to work with." "An avocado a day keeps the doctor away."
