IMN – ADDRESSING THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF CHRONIC ILLNESS

Attempting to Addressing the Underlying Causes of Chronic Illness

Problem:

Consumer research shows that a majority of patients would like their doctor to help them with lifestyle changes.

However, according to a recent article in the Archives of Internal Medicine, most healthcare practitioners fail to counsel their patients on diet, exercise, and other lifestyle factors.²

Why? Because of a variety of factors, including lack of time to deal with the health challenges patients face, difficulty with insurance coverage, lack of training, limited staff support, perceived poor long-term success rate, and other reasons.
