Your Health Mentor

Posted by: Marcelle

There is a saying in Law: when one acts as their own lawyer they have a fool for a client. The same can be said about people who act as their own physician.

The more your educated, the more you’re aware of your body, and the more knowledgeable you’ll become.  However, the expression, “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing” can be very true – especially in health care.

Knowing all sides of a topic is necessary when forming a wise decision.

 

Here’s an example of what I’m talking about: Did you know that there are different types vitamins?  There are water soluble vitamins and there are fat soluble vitamins.  Water soluble vitamins such as vitamin C will pass through the body in a relatively short period of time.  A fat soluble vitamin such as vitamin A will be stored in the body’s tissues and may become toxic if the dose is too high.

We all want to be in control of our lives and especially our health.  Finding a health mentor who can work in partnership with you and guide you along your path to optimum health is the ideal relationship.

For a number of reasons, ranging from our public health care system to the monetary reality of our world, most medical practitioners don’t have the time to spend with their clients that would be required for true health mentoring.  Western medicine is very good at crises management and that is what we have.  Preventive medicine is really up to each individual.

If you’re looking for a holistically oriented health mentor, look for the following:

  • Someone with a solid education in the health sciences.
  • Has a proven track record.
  • Has a holistic attitude towards health.
  • Someone who will listen to you and take your concerns into consideration.
  • Is open to alternative health care.
  • Knows their limits, and knows when it’s time to refer

Finding someone with the above qualifications is the ideal match to finding a health coach/mentor. When working with a mentor in this way you can begin to take control of your health – safely and effectively.
