How to Effectively Integrate a Health Coach into a Functional Medicine Practice
The Kalish Institute Mentorship
Kara Ware shares innovative ways to fully utilize a health coach’s skills and expertise to optimize patient acquisition, activation, and retention.
You’ve spent the last several years training and preparing to practice medicine as an equal, therapeutic partner with your patients, but are they genuinely prepared for functional medicine’s mutual-participatory model? Many patients arrive at a functional medicine clinic in a state of crisis. This emotional distress inhibits change and diminishes the patient’s ability to communicate, remember important guidance and recommendations, and overall be a proactive participant in their care. This makes the medical provider’s role more challenging than it needs to be and, unfortunately, limits the success of patient outcomes as well.

- Explore what it looks like when the health coach drives the first patient encounter and how this activates patients in their personalized functional medicine process and patient-provider partnership.
- Gain knowledge of how to design care path bundles and tracking metrics system process to keep patients returning for follow-up care.

An online patient survey published in June 2020 showed the pandemic was a challenging period for 93.9% of ASD families. Many reported increased difficulties in managing daily activities, and children presenting with more intense and more frequent behavior problems. Ware says, “parents and siblings were at their wits end before COVID trying to “manage” tantrums, sensory meltdowns, picky eating, and aggressive behaviors.
