About Alaska Lifestyle Health Our Patient Partnership

These days, most people go to the doctor’s office when they have a physical concern or illness. There, you get 5-10 minutes with the physician, receive a diagnosis (and probably a prescription), and then you’re on your own again until the next ailment.

These interactions condition us to be passive about our own health and health care–waiting for illness to strike and then looking to someone else for its cure.

By the way, we’re not knocking modern medicine. We’re credentialed medical professionals who’ve worked in both hospitals and private practice. Doctors and nurses leave medical schools specifically trained to alleviate suffering by treating patients’ symptoms. That’s our goal and most of us do it well. That said, we think people do better and stay healthier when they have a role to play in the process. In our work together, we hope and expect you to be more than a passive recipient of diagnoses and therapies. We hope and expect that you’ll play an active role in understanding the underlying causes of why you feel the way you do. We hope and expect that you’ll commit to your treatment program. At Northwest Lifestyle Health, we treat you as a valuable partner in improving your overall health and vitality.
