PART 2: The afternoon session presented ADVANCED strategies to create change in your patients’ daily health practices & maybe yours? Across the board, your patients’ lifestyle cannot be ignored as you work at getting them to optimal health. From sedentary living (Is Sitting the New Smoking?) to mismanaged stress, you will discover a new way of looking at how chronic inflammation and disease is supported by your well-intentioned patients.
- Why certain patients do not respond well to your hygiene programs.
