4 Veterinary Challenges Personal profiles High achiever/perfectionist/introvert Typically subject to higher rates of compassion fatigue/burnout Higher risk for depression, substance abuse, suicide

5 Veterinary Challenges Professional stressors Oversupply vs. underdemand High debt-to-income ratio

6 Veterinary Challenges Clients Cost conscious Seeking alternatives Prevention gap

7 Fresh Perspective Because optimal nutrition is vital to overall health and longevity, it is necessary to include a nutritional assessment and provide nutrition recommendations at each visit. Datz 2013

8 A Nutritional Approach Can Change Your Patients

9 Diagnosed Health Challenges 1) Rethink the exam. Start and end with nutrition. Think upstream. Resist compartmentalization.

10 Diagnosed Health Challenges 2) Formulate the plan. Integrate supplements into your therapeutic protocol. Demonstrate conviction in your plan. Treat the symptoms, and support the systems.

11 Complete the Puzzle These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

14 Subclinical Presentations Consider partial nutrient deficiencies. Patients with symptoms and normal test results Cases that aren t reading the book Emerging syndromes

15 The Nutritional Protocol 1) Start simply. Diet Supplements made with whole food and other ingredients: Provide additional nutritional support and source of nutrients Contains ingredients with a range of nutrients

16 The Nutritional Protocol 2) Follow up. Recheck monthly. Taper supplements when condition warrants.

18 Preventative Care I believe that the doctor of the future will be a teacher as well as a physician. His real job will be to teach people how to be healthy. Doctors will be even busier than they are now because it is a lot harder to keep people well than it is to just get them over a sickness. D.C. Jarvis, MD, 1957

19 Veterinarian s Oath Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health and welfare, the prevention and relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge. The Veterinarian s Oath, revised 2010

20 Wellness 1) Evaluate quality of life (QOL). Engage the owner. Build trust. Show empathy

21 Wellness 2) Discuss nutrition s role in QOL. Provide education on the benefits of whole food ingredients in supplemental nutrition.

25 A Nutritional Approach Can Change You

26 Professionally Set your clinic apart. Increase compliance. Add to revenue. Foster community. Celebrate success.

27 Personally See challenges as positives. A tendency to over-analyze is helpful with complex cases. Reading, researching, learning solo activities are also good for patient care. Rather listen than talk? This helps when it comes to connecting with clients and taking an accurate history. Empathy and introversion often go together, which is helpful for our profession. (Barforoush 2013) Feel validated. Define yourself as a doctor and a healer.
