Hi Wise Mother,
In today’s episode, I’m bringing a greater awareness of how you can empower yourself with the knowledge and tools needed to step out of the reactive 'sickcare' cycle and into proactive healthcare.
I believe most people want to be healthy and would rather not think about or have to navigate insurance and medications if only they knew how. This is a transformative discussion that puts the power back in your hands. In order to have some measure of control it will involve you making informed, proactive choices about your lifestyle, diet, and even the household products you use.
The pharmaceutical industry heavily influences healthcare practices by focusing on profit margins. Billions are spent on marketing directly to doctors and patients, promoting drugs over preventative or holistic health solutions, which could include dietary changes or natural therapies.
Knowledge is indeed power. I recommend that families educate themselves about the medications they use, including potential side effects, and seek natural alternatives. It's also crucial to engage in and support legislative reforms that aim for greater transparency in the food, personal care, and healthcare industries.
If all this sounds overwhelming, I’m here to help. Join me for a FREE Wellness Discovery Call, where we can discuss strategies for staying out, or stepping out of the 'sickcare' cycle and into true health care. Check out the link to sign up for a call and understand what it means to be proactive about your health.
Xoxo,
Coach Cynthia
