Health Coaches Are Integral to Excellent Care | Dr. Tro

by: Primal Health Coach Institute
Published: July 8, 2021
Updated: June 23, 2022

Today’s guest is the fiercely outspoken and passionate Dr. Tro. Dr. Tro is a physician who is board-certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine. His own health journey involved losing 150 pounds and reclaiming his health by ignoring much of the conventional medical advice. Dr. Tro’s clinical focus includes diabetes, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and PCOS. His approach begins with intensive lifestyle changes including diet, exercise, improved sleep hygiene, stress management, and mental health. His goal within his medical practice is to get his patients healthy, free of chronic disease, and off of medications. And guess what? Dr. Tro uses health coaches extensively to ensure his patients can implement and adhere to the necessary diet and lifestyle changes needed to effectively turn back the clock on metabolic dysfunction. In this episode, we discuss Dr. Tro’s weight-loss journey that also led him to change how he practices medicine, what he found when he dug into the literature surrounding the effectiveness of different diets, how he works with his clients in an online space, and why health coaches are an integral part of his medical practice. We get a little fired up in this conversation and we love it when our guests are able to match our passion! Check out this episode below!
