What Does an Integrative Health Advisor do?
Your Integrative Health Advisor promotes your well-being while encouraging you to drive the conversation and determine areas of desired focus. With the support of your Integrative Health Advisor, you will see the results you desire by consistently implementing small but mighty lifestyle changes. She takes into consideration your values, lifestyle, career, relationships and health goals and guides you to make strategic choices and informed health decisions. She works closely with Dr. Bojana, to support patients on their wellness journey to become the best version of themselves.
It can be overwhelming to manage the multiple recommendations from your health care team. This is where your Integrative Health Advisor can help you manage and implement these suggestions, according to your specific needs. Together, you will identify, understand and work through any potential obstacles that may be getting in the way of your path to a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, your Integrative Health Advisor 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.
