]]> No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly.

There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.

]]> NBC-HWC’s in Primary Care

How to configure a relationship with primary healthcare providers to integrate the Diabetes Prevention Program, Health & Wellness Coaching for NBC-HWC’s specifically is a very hot topic as we anxiously await the CPT codes evolution into reimbursable health promotion and prevention.  This recorded webinar was great, thanks to our special guest, primary care doc, Dr. Dave Donohue.

Dr. Donohue chairs the American College of Lifestyle Medicine’s member interest group: Lifestyle Medicine Provider Network, which is how we became acquainted.  Dr. Donohue graciously shared his insights and perspectives as he fielded thoughtful and thought provoking questions from live participants.

David Donohue, MD, FACP, DipABLM – Chief Medical Officer, Progressive Health of Delaware

“Wondering about how to work with a primary care doc or group? Dr Dave Donohue will be answering questions and sharing his experience with billing codes and how he has successfully integrated NBC-HWC into his practice”.

]]> Since January 2021 Deb, Laurie, Anne and I have been learning and connecting with many of you on Clubhouse.  We’ve created several clubs including one for State of Wellness and one specifically for DPP Lifestyle Coaches.  Now that they have welcomed Android phone users the floodgates have nearly fully opened, although they consider themselves still in beta. Some of the fun and educational opportunities I’ve participated in include the Tiny Habits rooms with BJ Fogg, Opera has been on.  They have done musicals live with the broadway cast, poetry slams and so on.  I had so much fun listening in to NNPR (Not National Public Radio) the other night.  LMAO!  Basically, if you can think it, there’s a good chance somebody’s doing it on clubhouse.

For several months now Laurie and I have been hosting each Saturday morning at 8am pacific a room all about the DPP Lifestyle Coach training.  We’ve had so much fun talking to people who have been trained and hearing how it’s going and sharing with others for whom this is the first they’ve heard of it.  Anyway, we want you there to share your experiences with others and to promote you and your DPP program to the Clubhouse community.

Join us!  We look forward to hearing you there!
