Dear Reader,
Have you noticed what I've noticed about the news? Healthcare is beginning to compete with terrorism for headlines. We're seeing debates over junk food in classrooms, spiraling costs of healthcare, alarming obesity rates, millions of people without insurance, and multi-million dollar liability cases against drug companies.
We are now beginning to witness the crumbling of the current health care system. Yet most Americans believe that when they are unwell, they have no choice but to deal with poor service, misinformation, misdiagnosis, pharmacy errors, billing issues, unaffordable insurance and inflated drug costs. People are suffering from a lack of involvement in their own health.
Those same people are hungry for answers. They are looking for a better life. Healthcare doesn't talk about education or prevention. But you could. By stepping out as a health counselor, you can become an important partner in improving the healthcare system in America.
Imagine this country educated on whole foods, holistic practices and alternatives to medications and surgery. If you can see a different future for health in America, there are millions of others that feel the same way. It's really not that complicated to make substantial changes to our system, if there is a will.
The first few years of any new venture is challenging. But when you live what is in your heart, your work isn't your work. It is your passion and your dream. Are you ready?
Appreciating your pioneering spirit,
