Powerful Aging Tip #7

Good Healthcare – absolutely a must have

OK, I know it can be difficult to find a health care provider that actually listens to you and is a partner in your health rather than a demi-god from on high who dictates to you. But they are out there, and it’s critical to find one (or even better, more than one) so you can take responsibility for your own wellbeing. If you feel you aren’t being heard, find someone else.

If your medications are making you sicker than you were before you started taking them, and your doctor won’t listen, find one who will. Get second, and even third opinions until you are satisfied the course of action being proposed is in your best interest.

Read up on whatever health challenge you are experiencing so you’ll be knowledgeable about how to take care of it in the best way possible.

Here are some resources for finding alternative health care providers:

My personal favorite is Dr. Damon Miller, M.D., N.D., located in Palo Alto, CA.
