65% Symptom Reduction Without Testing — Here's Her System | Dr. Emily Roedersheimer

Описание: What if your patients could cut their symptoms by 65% before you ever ordered a test or prescribed a supplement?
That's exactly what Dr. Emily Roedersheimer is doing at Balanced Living Functional Medicine — and in this episode, she breaks down exactly how.
Dr. Emily spent a decade in family medicine before making the leap to functional medicine six years ago. She was recently invited to speak at the IFM Annual International Conference on how she uses health coaches in her practice, and today she's sharing that model with us.
In this episode, we cover:

How she found her first health coach (hint: FMCA job board + a clever audition technique)
Why offering coaching as an optional add-on failed — and what she did instead
The "Health Begins Here" 3-month lifestyle program and the 65% symptom reduction data behind it
Contractor vs. employee: why none of her coaches are employees and how that keeps costs sustainable
How to build coaching into your pricing so you're not losing money
What's kept her core health coach on the team for 6 years
Why patients often open up more to coaches than to their doctor
How to start small — even with just 5 patients

Whether you're just launching your practice or you've been at this for years, this episode will change how you think about who belongs on your team.
