So, let’s talk about the reasons why your doctor struggles to sell you the promise of better health…

Have you ever wondered why no matter what your doctor says, it doesn’t seem to stick and just goes in one ear and out the other? It’s not that they lack knowledge or expertise. For some reason, though, they really can’t seem to persuade you to do what they’re saying.

Truth is, while doctors are trained to diagnose and treat, we’re not taught how to motivate patients to take charge of their health—a concern that’s been overlooked for far too long; a problem that the system has yet to fix.

But if we don’t do something, it could lead to a growing disconnect, resulting in poorer health outcomes among many others.

That’s why in this episode, we’ll uncover the reasons for this struggle and discuss how salesmanship and coaching enhance doctor-patient relationships and pave the way for better outcomes in health.

Whether you’re a healthcare professional or a patient, join us in yet another episode of Medicine Mondays and learn how we can make a difference. After all, transforming healthcare starts with changing how we communicate and connect.

Why you need to check this episode:

- Learn how training gaps affect a doctor’s skills in persuading patients to make healthy choices;
- Understand why a patient needs a coach in their physician, hence the need for doctors to be great coaches as well; and
- Discover tips you can use (if you’re a physician) to sell your patients on being healthy.

“Patients need a coach in their physician.” – Dr. Berry Pierre

Notable Quotes:

“After about a decade of experience, I’ve realized that the reason why some doctors are able to get results where others just aren’t is that some doctors are much better at selling the aspect of being healthy than you are at the need to buy being healthy.” – Dr. Berry Pierre

“You need to understand that your patients need a coach in their physician…because they need someone who will walk them down the path, explain [to] them what needs to be explained, [and] not necessarily be constrained by any time-related issues of why I can’t go into detail the way I need to go into detail.” – Dr. Berry Pierre

“Doctors could be great doctors, but if they’re not great coaches, guess what? They’re going to have a hard time selling you their service, they’re going to have a hard time selling you your health, [and] they’re going to have a hard time selling you your health outcomes.” – Dr. Berry Pierre

“Majority of doctors, especially the good ones, don’t really need 15 minutes to diagnose and treat. What they need is about 15 minutes to diagnose, treat, and then educate.” – Dr. Berry Pierre

“If they have zero questions and they have zero objections, then they’re going to follow what they need to follow.” – Dr. Berry Pierre

“You should definitely go to the emergency room if you have an erection that doesn’t go away. Otherwise, you can lose your penis, [and] losing penis is bad; I think we can all agree on that.” – Dr. Joel Pash

Notable Quotes:

“A lot of doctors, because they still work in the hospital and the operating room, are kind of set on the fact that they’re a doctor—that that’s what they’re trained how to do and that’s what they have to do. So, the thought of moving out of that never even crosses their mind, or if does cross their mind, it’s like, ‘Well, that’s impossible. I’m a surgeon; that’s what I have to do.’ It’s like they’re seeing a very narrow view of what is possible to do as a doctor.” – Dr. Joel Pash

“I don’t think you need any degree to run a business. You don’t need a business degree to run a business. It’s a skill.” – Dr. Joel Pash

“As long as people understand what it is that they’re going to get, they’re almost 100% happy.” – Dr. Joel Pash

“Sometimes, the textbook is not exact, and everyone’s anatomy is a little different.” – Dr. Joel Pash

So, let’s talk about sexual health awareness and its importance in our overall well-being…

How comfortable are you talking about sexual health with your family or friends?

September is Sexual Health Awareness Month, and we’re back with yet another episode to encourage ongoing and inclusive discussions about this health concern.

In today’s podcast, we will discuss why this month is important, and when this month goes away, what do we do, moving forward. We’re going to highlight the importance of education, open conversations, and reducing stigma surrounding sexual health, and also cover why men often hesitate to discuss sexual health issues, and how sexual health isn’t just about avoiding diseases, but more about the physical and emotional well-being of oneself.

Although widely considered a taboo subject, join me as we foster healthy discussions, reduce stigma, and empower each other toward better sexual health. Together, let's break the silence, embrace the conversation, and prioritize our sexual health.

Why you need to check this episode:

• Discover why sexual health awareness is important, as well as the Sexual Health Awareness Month;
• Recognize the need for open conversations about sexual health, be that with children or adults;
• Learn why men often hesitate to discuss sexual health issues; and
• Understand the importance of advocating for accessible sexual health education for all demographics and utilizing Sexual Health Awareness Month for education and awareness beyond just September

“It’s so extremely important that we understand that the access to this information be available to as many people, and it doesn’t matter their age, their gender, and their orientation. Good sexual health education is important for everyone because everyone benefits from it. There’s no point to be gatekeeping this type of information.” – Dr. Berry Pierre

Notable Quotes:

“If you can’t have them [sexual health conversations] with the kids, you’re definitely not having them with the adults.” – Dr. Berry Pierre

“It does sound comical, and I say it, but I’m very serious on the amounts of relationships that suffer because just having the conversation doesn’t occur.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
