Why aren�t more doctors prescribing broccoli, gym memberships, and guided meditation? Preventable illnesses such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease are reaching epidemic proportions, yet the current healthcare system depends on medications and surgery to manage symptoms rather than proactively prevent disease.

It�s partially because most physicians don�t have the time, resources, or training to help patients change their habits and lifestyle. Only 25% of medical schools require students to take a dedicated nutrition class, and doctors spend less than 3% of sick visits discussing nutrition.

But there�s hope for a better way. Integrative Nutrition visiting teacher Dr. Frank Lipman practices what he calls �good medicine,� focusing on healing and preventing the root cause of sickness. Helping him do it? A team of Health Coaches, all trained at Integrative Nutrition! Watch the video below to hear why Dr. Lipman thinks Health Coaches are essential to patient care.
