Customized Concierge “Health” Care starts with uncovering individual goals

Better Life. Better Mojo.

That’s according to our most recent guest on Better Mojo Better Life. In this episode we sit down with Dr. Corey Howard. His diversified educational background makes him uniquely qualified for his customized brand of elite concierge medicine. His resume includes Doctor of Medicine, a psychiatry internship, internal medicine residency, a two-year advanced fellowship in Digestive Diseases and Nutrition (Gastroenterology) board certification in Anti-Aging, Functional and regenerative medicine as well as a fellowship in Metabolic Nutritional Medicine. Add to that, a life coach certification and you can see why his patients and the broader medical community are attracted to his individualized approach to healthier living. When I asked Dr. Howard how he keeps his patients motivated, his answer said it all, “in order to motivate them, first I must determine if they ARE motivated” to put in the work and follow his recommendations. His extensive experience and education play a big role in his ability to assess whether individuals are in the right space to achieve their goals. Which leads to the first question Dr. Howard asks potential patients, “What are you trying to accomplish with your health?’ Most of us struggle to articulate our goals, more commonly responding with “I don’t know, but I know what I don’t want.” Dr. Howard’s coaching often leads to self-discovery allowing patients to lock in on their underlying motivation and make the changes necessary to live longer, healthier lives. Finally, Dr. Howard is not shy about his individual vs. population model of healthcare. He’s not for everyone and that’s ok. Bonus: he is also an author, a health policy advocate and all-around cool guy. Great listen.
