47: Why Becoming a Women's Health Coach is the Key to a Fulfilling, Healthier, and Wealthier Career for Medical Professionals | Fixing Healthcare Together with Dr. Dawn Allen, Nurse Practitioner

As a medical professional, you’re trained in a model encouraging you to “solve” your patient's health problems. It’s one thing to be able to prescribe medication for your patients and move on and another thing to integrate that with the tools that allow you to work together to figure out the drivers of their illness. Health is a skill set that your patients have to learn to integrate into their daily lives, and with the right tools, you can help them achieve that.When we shift our mindset toward helping our patients and clients practice this new paradigm of health, we also live richer, more fulfilled, healthier lives. As a women's health professional, you get to have a fully supported, life-giving life where you feel well in your body, and you can continue to do the vital work your clients need you to do.Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Dawn Allen, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Women’s Health Coach certification program graduate. Dawn’s story is an inspiration and a great reminder of what’s possible when we shift into a collaborative model to help clients not only understand from a clinical perspective but also help them to do the healing.In this conversation, Dawn and I discuss how health coaching can integrate into clinical practice, the limitations of the conventional medical approach, why Dawn became interested in health coaching, the benefits of health coaching for patients and clinicians, the value of communication skills and holistic approaches in healthcare, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/why-becoming-a-womens-health-coach-is-the-key-to-a-fulfilling-healthier-and-wealthier-career-for-medical-professionals-fixing-healthcare-together-with-dr-dawn-allen-nurse-practitioner/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).
