Listen "Navigating and Advocating: How to Get the Most out of Your Doctor’s Appointments"
Episode Synopsis
Episode two is all about getting the most out of your doctor’s appointments by becoming empowered to engage in productive conversations. Listen to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients Lizzy and Shari as they share tips and tricks for how they prepare for visits, have meaningful conversations with healthcare providers, track their symptoms, and lean on their support systems. Learn how they developed trusting relationships with their care providers through proactive management of their IBD and how they learned to advocate for themselves—from routine appointments to unexpected flare-up visits. Hearing about how IBD patients navigate and advocate for themselves could be just the inspiration you need when Living with IBD.
