In the last episode I discussed opening a practice, specifically discussed a weight management practice.. That may have your wheels turning, but maybe it isn’t your desire to open a clinic of your own. It’s definitely not for everyone, but don’t let that stop you from offering weight management within your current practice. 

How would you get trained?? The Health Interventions – Master Obesity In Your Practice! Of course!  This is a complete Step-by-Step Online Video Training System that gives you everything you need to get started. The modules are broken down for ease of learning. It’s actionable information. It’s not an overload on data for you to try to break down to clinically relevant information. I’m a very busy practicing provider, so I have made this a ready-to-go, turn- key program for you. Questionnaires, visit templates, meal planning and more - everything you need to get started right away!

The Wellness and Weight Management Course is getting even better! It’s even got a new name...  Master Obesity in Your Clinical Practice. There is more information, more action items for your practice AND a Private Facebook group for course members. That means more valuable information from ME in Facebook Live sessions for members only!!! I will be able to offer more support to more practitioners that way. So, I hope you believe me when I say, I listened! I took your feedback and questions and revamped.
