Helping Patients Implement Healthy Habits Through Mindset, Knowledge, Empowerment with Dr. Denise Patterson,ND

In this episode I spoke with Dr. Denise Patterson, ND about all things habits as she recently published her first book, Healthy Habits Haul. I must say, this is one of my favorite topics because I truly believe that habits are what build our health. With the new year quickly approaching, I wanted to get the scoop on what keeps us from creating those healthy habits despite having all of the information at our fingertips, how we can empower our patients to implement those habits and what mindset shifts need to be made in order to make them happen. We also dive into decision fatigue and how creating habits can free up space to allow for more creativity and less stress (which is great to keep in mind for fellow creative NDs).  Dr. Denise BioDr. Denise Patterson, ND is a Naturopathic Doctor practicing in Sunderland, Ontario.
