Faith gives people a reason to keep showing up when it gets hard. That is not a lifestyle preference. That is a clinical observation.Q: Why do some patients have the right diagnosis and treatment plan and still not improve? A: There is almost always a motivational gap underneath the clinical picture. Patients who are doing the health work to chase a social standard or gain someone's approval tend to stop when it gets hard. The ones who are doing it for something bigger than the number on the scale tend to keep going.Q: Why did Sharon Lemoine leave corporate healthcare? A: Corporate medicine gives providers roughly seven minutes per patient. That is enough time to hand someone a lab result and move on. It is not enough time to understand what a person is actually carrying. She built a concierge practice because she wanted to have the real conversation.📱 RESOURCES Website: gigharbormedicalspa.com Book a Consultation: gigharbormedicalspa.com/book-now/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconciergenp_/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GHMedicalspa YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SharonLemoine-ARNP🔔 Subscribe for straight answers about hormones, perimenopause, and women's health from a nurse practitioner with 28 years in medicine and over 100,000 patients treated.
