“Who will help patients change?” Dr. Peter Weiss, MD recommends that life coaches, also called personal coaches or "health coaches" are the key. These are professionals dedicated solely to enabling individuals change behavior to achieve their goals. Coaches help clients achieve greater focus, see new possibilities, identify methods to change, and adopt new behaviors.
Feeling a call to action, Dr. Weiss left his leading role in traditional healthcare to reach people directly and help them take control of their health. Known as "Dr. Pete," a Wellness Evangelist, he has begun a new career as a public figure - speaking, writing, hosting a radio show and otherwise helping ordinary people to gain control of their own health.
