Dr. Ingemaud Gerber’s passion lies in holistic, proactive health care that is a partnership between the physician who provides expert information and advice, and the patient interested in healthy aging and optimized quality of life.
She emphasizes that the action plan for an amazing life is accomplished by focusing on four simple, but not easy, pillars. The trend is firmly in the direction of people wanting to take informed action that enhances health span and quality of life with reduced drug dependence. The concern may lie in the human tendency to seek an easy solution and the potential to overload the public health system that provides services and technology without consequence.
Show Notes
After moving to Canada “for a few years” of post-qualification exploration and experience Dr. Ingemaud Gerber found her passion in the proactive and holistic health space. Combining her practice in health-span, quality of life and aesthetic care, with service in both acute and long-term care she especially enjoys the ability to work with patients who make informed decisions for a healthy life.
Dr. Gerber’s anecdotal evidence suggests it may take up to three years for patients to make healthy changes to their habits. Mindset is the most important factor that promotes or inhibits change – until or unless a person wants to make the change it will not happen.
Trends indicate a move for people to seek information which informs their decisions towards longer, healthier lives with reduced dependence on acute care, and a reduction in drug use (many of which have side-effects that may compound other signs of ageing). Unfortunately all take work, there are no quick fixes despite many patents desiring a drug that is the solution which “avoids” the effort inherent in improved lifestyle.
