In the latest column by UTMB’s Dr. Victor S. Sierpina: If you let your health care provider know what you wish to work on at the time of your visit he or she can link you to appropriate resources: a health coach, trainer, dietitian, psychologist, spiritual mentor, class, yoga or tai chi instructor, chiropractor, acupuncturist, massage therapist, financial counselor or support group. Any of them can become part of your team to promote improved well-being in the thousands of hours of your life between office visits. Always remember that except for serious emergencies, your health and longevity are much more dependent on your daily lifestyle choices than even the best modern medicine can offer.
