Dr Lindsay gives practical tips on how to build a family healthcare team - a daunting task, but one that you can break down into smaller bites by separating it into an emergency & illness care team, and a proactive health creation team. She invites listeners to reflect upon and clarify for themselves their beliefs about health, because beliefs shape care choices. Dr Lindsay shares her own health statement (which you can take or leave as you need, since your health needs and goals might be different!) and outlines the four-dimension framework she recommends for building your health creation team: physical, emotional, spiritual, and nutritional. Your healthcare team should evolve over time, and align with your family’s values - and if you want to practice interviewing a new practitioner for your team, you can always call the Healthy Families Chiropractic clinic!

Questions to ask yourself:

• What do you actually believe about health? What do you believe health to be?
• Do you believe your body is capable of healing?
• Do you believe there’s a difference between protection and growth?
• Do you see symptoms as problems to silence… or as messages from your body that something needs attention?
• What do you believe our current healthcare system is best at? And where is it limited?
• What do you want your kids to grow up believing about their bodies?
• If you keep doing health the way you’re doing it now, will the next generation be healthier or sicker?
