That’s according to our most recent guest on Better Mojo Better
Life. In this episode we sit down with Dr. Corey Howard. His
diversified educational background makes him uniquely qualified for
his customized brand of elite concierge medicine. His resume
includes Doctor of Medicine, a psychiatry internship, internal
medicine residency, a two-year advanced fellowship in Digestive
Diseases and Nutrition (Gastroenterology) board certification
in Anti-Aging, Functional and regenerative medicine as well as
a fellowship in Metabolic Nutritional Medicine. Add to that, a life
coach certification and you can see why his patients and the
broader medical community are attracted to his individualized
approach to healthier living. When I asked Dr. Howard how he
keeps his patients motivated, his answer said it all,
“in order to motivate them, first I must determine if they ARE
motivated” to put in the work and follow his recommendations.
His extensive experience and education play a big role in his
ability to assess whether individuals are in the right space
to achieve their goals. Which leads to the first question
Dr. Howard asks potential patients, “What are you trying to
accomplish with your health?’ Most of us struggle to
articulate our goals, more commonly responding with “I don’t know,
but I know what I don’t
want.” Dr. Howard’s coaching often leads to self-discovery allowing
patients to lock in on their
underlying motivation and make the changes necessary to live
longer, healthier lives. Finally, Dr.
Howard is not shy about his individual vs. population model of
healthcare. He’s not for everyone and that’s ok. Bonus: he is
also an author, a health policy advocate and all-around cool guy.
Great listen.
