So many people are silently dissatisfied in healthcare relationships. Whether you're working with a doctor, nutritionist, therapist, or coach, it's important to set boundaries and advocate for yourself. In this episode, I'm joined by my colleague, Michael Rutherford, NTP, and we discuss:

Why dissatisfaction is at an all-time high in healthcare relationshipsHow to advocate for yourself in a doctor-patient or practitioner-client relationship, even when you're exhausted and feel hopelessWhen to push for the lab testing you want, and when it might not be the best ideaHow to have difficult conversations with your practitionerHow to tell the difference between a practitioner who's a total jerk (they're out there!) and someone who is trying to help you see beyond your comfort zoneHow to tell if it's time to dump your doctor, or if the relationship can be salvagedBest practices for establishing new practitioner-client relationships and making sure it's the right fit
