Authenticity in Lifestyle Medicine With Dr. Jessica Matthews

May 10, 2023

Today, Jessica and I discuss how when we as practitioners adopt healthy habits in our own lives it leads to better outcomes for our patients.

Jessica analyzes the results of studies showing that physicians who practiced healthy behaviors, such as resistance training, were more likely to counsel patients with authenticity and shares her personal experiences that led her to develop the Master of Science in Integrative Wellness program.

Jessica also explains what ‘whole person health’ is, how it helps practitioners provide better care to their patients, and the healthy habits she recommends to her patients.
