Integrative Health Advisor
Our office works with an Integrative Health Advisor who complements and supports your work with Dr. Bojana Jankovic Weatherly to optimize your outcome. We have found that patients have greater success when given additional support as well as education, and empowerment through consistent health and wellness coach visits, and communication.
We will connect you with your Integrative Health Advisor and offer scheduling options once you have seen Dr. Bojana for your initial evaluation. If you want to feel your best, optimize your health and performance but are not in need of medical services, you may work with our health coach from anywhere you are in the world!
What Does an Integrative Health Advisor Do?
As your Integrative Health Advisor, I will promote a patient’s well-being while encouraging them to drive the conversation and determine areas of desired focus. With my help, patients will see the results they desire by implementing small but mighty lifestyle changes. I take into consideration a patient’s values, lifestyle, career, relationships and health goals as I guide them to make strategic choices and informed health decisions. I work closely with Dr. Bojana, to support patients on their wellness journey to become the best version of themselves.
Specifically, it can be overwhelming to manage the multiple recommendations from your health care team. This is where I can help you manage and implement these suggestions, according to your specific needs. Together, we will identify, understand and work through any potential obstacles that may be getting in the way of your path to a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, I will help you manage your response to stress, so you are more in control of your actions and use your internal resources to cope with stress effectively.
