Most of what we do in functional medicine revolves around some type of behavioral change. Patients struggle with adopting these positive changes in diet, movement, and mindfulness. Instead of labelling patients as ‘noncompliant’, what if clinicians could meet patients where they are and help them through the process? The Transtheoretical Model was developed to help understand behavior and can be used in practice to promote compliance.

In today’s episode, we discuss the stages of behavior change and offer useful tips on how to approach coaching and educating patients.

The world of medicine can be challenging. Clinicians and patients are always looking for more options, more effective treatments… and in the end, more answers. What if there was a way to practice medicine that digs deeper and offers a new perspective? Functional medicine focuses on addressing root causes of disease.
