Tired of carrying “heavy” patients who only show up because you said so? Our conversation today with Dr. Eric DiMartino breaks down how to move people from polite compliance to true ownership of their health. You’ll hear a simple model for the patient journey, why education creates staying power, and the one question every person is silently asking by month four. We dig into the Better Results Faster workshop, how to reinforce big ideas with everyday table talk, and why your certainty as a clinician sets the ceiling for results. You’ll also learn how to bring your team into the story so wins get shared, reviews fuel morale, and progress checks become easy coaching moments that keep care on track.
