When you go to a doctor's appointment looking for help, do you struggle with:
Not being listened to?
Not getting what you wanted from the appointment?
Not being able to get your questions answered?
Getting your doctor to order lab work or imaging?
Our first course - Better Healthcare through Effective Communication - teaches you how to assertively manage your health.
You'll receive the information and tools, so the next time you see a healthcare practitioner, you’re armed with the information you need to know what to ask for - and how to ask for it - to get your needs met.
Here's one person's story:
A 50-year-old woman complained that she was so exhausted that she could not get off the couch. She had been diagnosed and treated for depression, but it made little difference. She presented the timing of the onset of her exhaustion to a new provider, who ran additional labs to rule out physiological symptoms of fatigue. She learned that something was indeed wrong and was able to set up a treatment team to address this new finding.
Meet Dr. Kristen Allott & Natasha Duarte
Dr. Kristen Allott is a naturopathic physician, international speaker, and author. As a pioneering advocate for the use of whole foods nutrition for improving energy, mental clarity, decision-making, and treatment of mental health and addiction disorders, Dr. Allott is passionate about helping patients realize tangible results. Over two decades, she has refined her expertise in promoting increased cognitive functioning by treating the physiological and hormonal causes of mental health and addictions. In 2021, Dr. Allott co-published with her lifelong friend Natasha Duarte, the workbook, Fuel Your Brain, Not Your Anxiety: Stop the Cycle of Worry, Fatigue, and Sugar Cravings with Simple Protein-Rich Foods with New Harbinger Publishing.
Natasha Duarte has always been curious about different cultures. She has traveled extensively and has consistently found that our differences are far out shadowed by what we have in common. Much of her work has involved developing and supporting community, helping people be at their best, and celebrating uniqueness. Through this work, Natasha developed a communication style and tools that help people achieve their goals. Along her journey, Natasha has faced some health issues that were not easily identifiable or treatable. She put her natural curiosity and “get it done” approach to work within the medical system to find solutions. When her long-time friend, Kristen, invited her to co-create tools to support Kristen’s medical practice, she said yes. This led to co-authoring their workbook, Fuel Your Brain, Not Your Anxiety, released by New Harbinger Publishing in early 2021. Looking for another project to share, this course was an easy next step. It supports their shared goal of helping as many people as possible be at their best so that they can, in turn, positively impact their families and communities.
