S3 Ep 4 - When to Take the Bird's Eye View for Your Health: Barbara Speaks with Ramey about Health Strategy at Third Opinion MD

In Episode 4, Ramey is at a crossroads with her health, and she is ready to learn about the Health Strategy program at Third Opinion MD. What's motivating Ramey to take this giant step now more than before? Listen to our conversation on how you can achieve so much more when you move beyond a linear and passive way to address your health.

The Bird’s Eye View

Part of forming a Health Strategy involves taking a step back to get the broad view of what’s going on with you, health wise, and exploring the best options based on your ability and the existing options in the system.

 

But there are two major issues with healthcare today. One you already know about is that the healthcare system is fractured, and it still operates with competing and potentially wrong goals for you individually. This situation can’t be “fixed” by one person or organization. Unfortunately, most healthcare organizations still operate in a linear and restricted way.

 

The other healthcare “elephant in the room” is you. In order for any system to function well, it has to serve the lowest denominator. But, in order for you to be served well by the system, you must serve yourself first. Remember, you are a system, too! If you don’t serve the parts of you best – your organs, your emotions, your unique window to remain balanced – the larger systems like insurance, clinics, and pharma can’t help you best.

 

The Path Forward

 

In order to improve the healthcare system, it must always start with your self-cultivation. I’m calling on you to start listening, ask questions, and take action to be in charge of your health again. No one else will do this for you.

 

This doesn’t mean abandoning the healthcare system and going out on your own. The more you learn health strategy, the more you will be empowered and knowledgeable to benefit from the existing system as well as becoming self-reliant.

 

Healthy individuals build healthier communities. And healthier communities help to heal the world around you.

My client, Ramey, took one of my classes to learn about eye health qigong, and she reached a point where she wanted to go deeper than that with the Health Strategy Consult program. Season 3 is about pulling the curtain back so you can learn the process with Ramey on how to form a unique health strategy.
