Prescribe FIT’s “Guide to a Happier, Longer Life” provides a comprehensive roadmap for orthopedic patients aiming to improve their overall health and manage their musculoskeletal conditions effectively at home.
Here’s an overview of the six steps of our program:
- Motivation: Understanding your “why” is pivotal. Whether it’s to reduce pain, improve mobility, prepare for surgery, or simply enhance your overall health and well-being, knowing your motivation helps tailor a lifestyle plan that resonates with your goals.
- Health Education: Informed choices are essential. The guide emphasizes the impact of lifestyle changes on health, suggesting that addressing the root causes of health issues through educated decisions is more effective than treating symptoms superficially.
- Nutritional Guidance: A balanced diet is crucial. Prescribe FIT encourages adopting the 90/10 rule—maintaining a diet comprised of 90% healthy foods and allowing 10% for indulgences. This approach promotes sustainability over restrictive dieting.
- Physical Activity: Movement is medicine. Regular, low-impact exercises such as walking, cycling, and yoga are recommended to improve joint health and overall physical well-being.
- Support & Coping: You’re not alone. Our program provides virtual health coaching to support patients through their journey, addressing psychological barriers and reinforcing motivation.
- Dedication & Maintenance: Stick with it for long-term benefits. The guide encourages patients to maintain their new healthy habits to ensure lasting improvements in their quality of life.
By focusing on these key elements, Prescribe FIT aims to help individuals lead a pain-free, healthier life through simple yet effective lifestyle modifications. Download the comprehensive step-by-step guide for free here: prescribefit.com/patient-guide
