Lifestyle Medicine

Skip to each question:
01:03 Anti-Med?
11:37 Prescribing Medications?
12:58 Easy Way Out?
15:37 Is This Safe?
17:23 Are You The Same as Calibrate?

Terra co-founder John Dieser answers a series of questions we have been fielding on our social media accounts and emails surrounding GLP-1 medications and where our service fits into all of this hype. Some main points are - 1)“Lifestyle Medicine” is not anti-med, but rather works in harmony with many medications on the path to controlling one's health independently. 2) Every person has their own health journey and in our programs, some assistance from a medication does not imply someone is taking the easy way out - in fact maybe the opposite. 3) We are not like Calibrate - (or Sequence or Noom), but our model works with the current health care system, patients or employees that are taking this medication but never put together a structured plan around it. 4) Let’s jump into whether these medications are safe. 5) and lastly, lets get out of the fine print (there is a lot of science in how these work and much of it triggers arguments online), and start looking at basics on how these drugs work and how beneficial lifestyle improvements will be along side of them.

Happy National Doc Day - all you caretakers out there - thank you for what you do. And don’t forget to take care of yourself, too.

Many docs right now are being inundated with requests for #wegovy, #monjouro, #ozempic in the latest efforts to turn around our international obesity epidemic. So, as lifestyle medicine advocates, we had to dig deeper into what is going on with these medications and why the recent craze (they aren’t new, but they are for obesity). 

Please listen to the entire thing (26min) as our friend @Dr Garth Davis breaks down all different angles of the war against obesity and educates us on this most recent battle. Could #lifestylemedicine and GLP-1 medications be the optimal path forward? A successful marriage? Partners in obesity crime fighting? That is yet to be determined…

If you are a doc being bombarded with these requests from patients - let’s bundle a program together with Lifestyle Medicine support, so it’s done right and we achieve successful results (well, that’s the goal).

To all employers, if you need to start covering these meds for obesity - don’t you want to lessen the chance of long-term usage or weight regain when it stops? Let’s package it with Lifestyle Medicine Coaching. 

If you are an individual that is intrigued about these meds - but want to do it the right way, visit our website and book a complimentary call - lets talk it out.

Whatsup everyone! It's Michael here and I'm super excited to share my personal journey and the roots behind creating Terra Health Coaching. I share my story about my early years pursuing becoming a doctor. As I started getting involved. I started noticing how we were not addressing lifestyle change which would heal these people's true issues, not just temporarily treat symptoms. Terra is founded on the principles of lifestyle medicine and our vision is to support physicians and incentivize them to make lifestyle behavior change the first step in everyone's health journey.
We would love to connect with you to explore how we can work together to support your practice
