This week on ReInvent Healthcare, I have with me a very special guest, Dr, Yvonne Castillo, and together we talk about the importance of practitioners having clinical competence, critical thinking skills, and compassionate care in order to effectively guide clients towards positive health outcomes. The integration of genetics, lab results, and comprehensive histories can lead to tailored strategies for improved health that will be beneficial for our clients.

 IN THIS EPISODE:

Shift in Healthcare and Attitudes

There has been a significant shift over the last few years, particularly due to the pandemic. People have started to value their health more and have realized the importance of being proactive and not taking their health for granted. There's also a shift from passive healthcare to a more dynamic and proactive approach. People are starting to see that they are an individual and the conventional medical system doesn’t individualize healthcare.

Holistic View of Health

The pandemic has led to a change in people's perspectives on health. Instead of viewing health as isolated symptoms, there's a growing understanding of how different factors are interconnected and can compound over time. This holistic view emphasizes the importance of addressing weak links and imbalances to prevent future health issues.Trends and family history must be examined with labs and genetics to make wise decisions in care for clients.  AI doesn’t provide this comprehensive view of looking at where clients are today on their health journey.

Rise of Functional Medicine and Individualization

There is increased interest in functional medicine and alternative approaches to healthcare. People are becoming more educated about their health, researching on their own, and seeking individualized solutions. The use of AI and apps can provide information, but it's crucial for practitioners to use these tools with the labs, with the history, and with a personalized view to interpret and communicate the data effectively to create actionable plans for clients. Good practitioners do a thorough health history, look at genetic tendencies and the labs and trends found in the labs, and use these to lead the client to make positive behavior change in an actionable manner that is not overwhelming. The key is to teach clients how to apply the information they are gathering to their individualized needs.
