When choosing a health professional to accompany you or to trust, be it a doctor, nutritionist, personal trainer, among others, my humble suggestion is that you look at the following points:
- Does he have experience?
- Do you have a technical and scientific background, but also plenty of practice with patients and good results?
- Do you speak the truth? Do good things for others? Do you seem to have good values?
- Do you keep up to date and seemingly without prejudice?
- Do you set an example? In other words, do you demonstrate in your conduct and in yourself the results of what you say works? Are you healthy and even good-looking, depending on what you preach and compatible with what you preach?
- Do you spend more time contributing in an edifying and useful way to others than criticizing them?
- Do you treat people well?
- Are you humble in most of what you say? Do you not consider yourself the owner of the truth, always willing to learn without feeling attacked for it?
- Do you know how to work as part of a team and respect skills in multidisciplinary approaches for the benefit of the patient? And do you recognize the importance of this?
- He talks about God at least in part of his speech (I think that's important).
- Do you give good advice for free? He doesn't charge for the vast majority of the knowledge he has, because sharing and helping others is Jesus' suggestion to us.
- Do you seem to have common sense in your statements, ideas and conduct?
Follow their posts and websites, get to know their CV and follow their trajectory before handing over your health and confidence to the professional being assessed. Your life will thank you!
Nobody's perfect, I know that, but wouldn't it be desirable for those who accompany you in health to have as many of these qualities as possible, the main one being that they are good and genuinely concerned for the good of others rather than focusing on self-promotion and status? Think again!
