Finally There’s Help for Doctors Who Need to Get in Shape to Set Better Examples for Their Patients
“Some doctors are in worse shape than their patients! Some are chain smokers, coffee addicts, fast-food junkies and sleep deprived. Factor this in with the occupational stressors of the job, HMOs, hospital politics, and high patient loads and the perfect mix for detrimental emotional and physical consequences are set into motion," says Dr. Thomas an avid runner and triathlete who has the answer. Finally there is help for doctors who want to get back into shape.
Fayetteville, GA, July 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- A sports chiropractor, an avid runner, a tri athlete with goals to do Iron Man Hawaii, and known around town as “The Running Doctor,” Dr. John N. Thomas states: “I just want to be an inspiration to my patients. I treat a lot of athletes who are tired of going to doctors that are smokers, obese and totally out of shape.”
To combat this growing trend Dr. Thomas, The Running Doctor, has started an organization called Healthy Doctors & Patients of America. Its mission is to bring doctors and patients together in a first name basis club like environment to encourage healthy lifestyle discussions and change. “I want to reach out to doctors who are looking for guidance and want to get back into shape so that they can be a good examples for their patients,” says Dr. Thomas who because of lifestyle changes, hardly suffers from asthma or allergies anymore.
“Some doctors are in worse shape than their patients! Some are chain smokers, coffee addicts, fast-food junkies and sleep deprived. Factor this in with the occupational stressors of the job, HMOs, hospital politics, and high patient loads and the perfect mix for detrimental emotional and physical consequences are set into motion. With never-ending, fast-paced, hectic schedules it can be hard for doctors to slow down and realize the upcoming cliff to sickness and disease that lies ahead,” says Dr. Thomas.
A vegetarian who eats fish once or twice a month, Dr. Thomas currently councils his patients everyday on the benefits of full body detoxification, stretching, drinking water, getting good restful sleep, exercise, and diet modification. “It’s just the same thing for my fellow colleagues so that they can spread the word and lead by example too,” adds Dr. Thomas, who admits is often inspired by his patients to keep up.
When asked by a patient to consider running The Great Wall Marathon in China it seemed far-fetched. But after lengthy discussions and a bunch of joking around, Thomas and his patient, got serious and signed right up. This is just one of the ways Dr. Thomas continues to inspire those who seek his services.
Dr. Thomas offers an array of services tailored to the needs of the amateur, professional and extreme athlete. Services include: Personal & Sports Injury Treatments, Spinal Decompression, Biomechanical & Spinal Exams, Muscle & Pain Management, Sports & Relaxation Massages, Foot Exams & Custom Orthotics, Full Body Detoxification Program, Weight Loss Program, Nutritional Support, and more.
Dr. Thomas is also available to speak to your organization.
