There's no shortage of resources to help people change their health behaviors -- but far too often, these resources aren't accessible in underserved communities, says physician Priscilla Pemu. Enter "culturally congruent coaching," a program Pemu and her team developed to help patients with chronic diseases monitor their health with the assistance of a coach from their community. Learn more about how this approach transcends language and cultural barriers -- and could potentially transform health care in America.

I have been diagnosed with MS 4 months ago and i’m 22 years old I always think about starting a healthy diet, but I can't, not because I don't like it, but because I can't buy it. All health products are very expensive. I can't buy them even organic vegetables and fruits are more expensive than regular vegetables and fruits. I have no source of income other than my father, who struggles a lot to save Money to buy my medicines every month. There should be companies that take into account people's conditions, not only tell them to eat healthy food, we want it to be affordable for everyone. Here we combine actions and words together.

I agree with this talk so much! I was a Health Coach of 100 patients with chronic illnesses. Many of the patients spoke Spanish and just agreed with everything that their medical provider said without understanding what was going on. This is where I stepped in and educated them, helped them build confidence to ask questions, and also write down all of their medications on a medication reconciliation sheet to figure out what they were or weren't taking. I also quickly realized that many of these patients were depressed. Once I helped them focus and get the help that they needed, they were then able to make massive changes on their health goals. I truly miss coaching and want to start up my own health coaching business and utilize all of the skills I have learned throughout the years. It is definitely needed.

But I believe I would respond well to a culturally congruent, non-judgy coach. Just recording when I exercised + knowing that someone would look at that was enough to get me out walking 5 days a week for several months.

Consider using cannabis if you haven't before. It CAN help tremendously, but not everyone. Research the matter of cannabis for chronic pain carefully. I'm a Christian, and no one in my church, which is extremely conservative, extremely Biblical, thinks there is anything at all sinful about this. I'm so sorry for you. By all means, keep trying to find pain relief legally. Opioids have worked for you before, so keep trying to find an intelligent doctor. I would suggest that you consult neurologists. God bless you.

@@suemiller8997 , I didn't know anyone could be allergic to cannabis, but if you are, then as a doctor once said, a disease may be rare, but to the patient who has it, it's not. I do know that if I have a good strain of cannabis- and I have used it so little I'm not even sure what such a strain is - and I use it on a bad pain day, its byproducts just seem to jump on the pain receptors, and silence them. Have you looked for any sort of pain patients' support group online, maybe on Facebook? I hate Facebook, have been off of it for four years, and would never go back, but I am sure there are such groups there. It might be worth exploring. There has to be word among chronic pain sufferers about just which doctors haven't lost their minds about the opioid crisis. It's also worth looking into what your state's medical school might have in the way of outpatient services.

He said can cut down too 10 a day I said sure I can do that! "See you next time" said the Doctor! His intern was way more concerned than him! So there is a huge shortage of Doctors where I live, like most major cities! I'm in Vancouver BC Canada! What does a person have to do to get proper health care, because desperate people can do things out of desperation! Sad really fucking sad! I could die no one would know it, that scares me.

And when i try to tell them that there's something wrong with my health, they keep saying im just being negative to myself and im the one making myself sick because i keep thinking about it... i dont know what should i do... they weren't worried and they're not taking my needs seriously like medical check up cause it's really expensive and i understand that... but i guess i have to deal this with myself :)

Jon Jones' Dealer Veggies and fruits literally consist in majority of water and fiber - you can’t overeat on those and get fat. The issue with animal products is that they consist or have a large amount of saturated fats, which coat your arteries and thus prevent the absorption of nutrients and substances produced by our bodies that are crucial to the process of food processing - if that’s blocked, then the body converts carbs into fat. Lay off the eating of fatty foods, thus animal products, and you can literally eat as much as you want, just eat as whole foods a possible (sprouted grains, brown rice, quinoa) and in variety, and you get all the essential amino acids / protein, you will lose weight guaranteed and feel satiated every time. Worked for everyone who tried it and stuck with it for a month, the longer the better, documented plenty of times also here on YT, search for: whole foods vegan one month challenge
