At the beginning of every New Patient Consultation, we ask, “What potential obstacles do you foresee in addressing the lifestyle factors which are undermining your health?” We ask this to better prepare each patient with an individualized treatment plan to help keep them on the road to success. One of the top reasons (or obstacles) they claim to encounter is staying motivated in said lifestyle changes. In Naturopathic Medicine, lifestyle factors play an essential role in your level of success. Without them, it will be nearly impossible to create an effective treatment plan. If you’re struggling to remain consistently motivated, there isn’t much that we can say or do to help you reach or maintain the health goals you’re seeking. Since motivation is a top concern, as well as a vital piece of patient success, we wanted to share some simple guidelines for how to stay motivated in your journey toward better health.
