  • Ep. 461 Solving & Preventing Chronic Disease with Health Coaching with Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum

    Ep. 461 Solving & Preventing Chronic Disease with Health Coaching with Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum
    Apr 30 2025
    I am thrilled to reconnect with a friend and colleague, Dr. Sandy Scheinbaum. She assists in training people to become functional medicine health coaches, and she helps practitioners and businesses hire them as she believes health coaches are the key to combating chronic disease and reducing healthcare costs. Dr. Scheinbaum is also an educator, clinical psychologist, author, and public speaker with over 50 years of experience. Her latest book is called Your Health Coach Will See You Now. In our discussion, we dive into the limitations of allopathic medicine in addressing chronic disease and the looming shortage of over 130,000 physicians by 2030. We explore the impact of burnout and job dissatisfaction among providers, look at what defines patient-centered care, and discuss how health coaches can improve emotional wellness, support chronic disease management, and increase patient self-efficacy. We also examine the benefits of partnering with health coaches to solve the worsening mental health crisis in the United States and the standards to consider when working with a health coach. I believe you will find this insightful discussion with Dr. Scheinbaum particularly relevant when considering the state of primary care in our country today. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The limitations of our current medical model, which was designed specifically for acute care Why lifestyle factors must be looked at when managing chronic diseases How the shortage of primary care providers affects patients Why so much burnout and job dissatisfaction exists among healthcare providers Health coaches and support of licensed healthcare providers to improve patient care How health coaches can help patients feel more connected and supported, and improve their overall well-being Why a team approach with health coaches working alongside healthcare providers is required How bedside manner has eroded in the current medical model Challenges of accessing mental health care today Importance of looking for only nationally board-certified health coaches who are licensed Bio: Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum trains people to become Functional Medicine health coaches and helps practitioners and businesses hire them because she believes that health coaches are key to combating chronic disease and reducing healthcare costs. As Founder and CEO of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA), Sandra is a leader in the field of health coaching education. An educator, clinical psychologist, author, and public speaker for nearly 50 years, she founded FMCA at age 65 because, rather than retiring, she is on a mission to grow the health coaching profession so that millions of people can get the support they need to lead healthier lives.
