Filling the prescription is the easiest part, although most patients aren't completely compliant with their meds. More importantly, people do not automatically know what to eat, how to exercise, adequately hydrate, sleep or manage stress effectively. These are not intrinsic skills, they are learned skills.  They are also not universal, but instead require an individualized prescription.  No one diet plan or exercise regimen is right for everyone, nor is every sleep or stress management strategy.  While we're great at addressing physical determinants of health, we routinely fail to address several other key factors of health like happiness, supportive relationships, sunlight and sex (yep, they all help lower blood pressure)!  Partnering with my patients in a structured, goal-oriented wellness program allows us to spend time and attention on all aspects of our health, learning and building skills that will translate into meaningful change! The most rewarding aspect of my life as a physician is when patients not only come off their medications, but feel happier, more energetic and alive!
