Motivating Patients To Take Action
Health care providers are in an ideal position to talk to their patients about weight control. Two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese. This excess weight puts them at a much higher risk for diabetes, heart disease, and other medical problems. Weight control may help patients substantially reduce these risk factors.
Through providing a partnership with both clients and providers, Bella Nutra assists individuals in achieving weight loss and wellness through nutritional education, accountability, and lifestyle modification. Our personalized mentoring services ensure the success of each individuals outcome and overall health improvements.
Crucial Conversations
Providers all to often echo the surprise that their patients' express when they deliver a clinical diagnosis that they've been warning about for years.
More and more providers are now having Crucial Conversations with their patients documenting and clearly warning them of the inherent risks of NOT addressing their weight issue. Letting patients know that it's not a question of "if", but more so a question of "when" the diagnosis will come is starting to resonate and motivate patients to take action.
Obesity, Connecting The Dots
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is just a number to most patients, and is often hard to relate to. Hearing the words "you've been diagnosed with" diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, stroke, heart attack or cancer commands your immediate attention.
Helping patients with connecting the dots of their co-morbid conditions “directly linked to obesity” plays a key role in motivating them to take immediate action with getting their health issues under control.
Lifestyle Modification
Most diets are simply not sustainable for the long run. 93% of providers agree that by not giving patients a detailed, actionable game plan for weight loss, their patients will ultimately fail. Merely telling patients to "Eat less and exercise more" is a prescription for failure.
Bella Nutra takes the guess work out of that process by engaging patients to adopt a different lifestyle. A detailed outline for each of the 4 phases, along with daily account-ability and weekly phone calls helps patients obtain measureable results quickly.
