I thought this was a very interesting conversation. Working in pediatrics - engaging occupation (play) is a have to, as well as establishing habits that promote positive change is an integral part of working with families. I also like the concept of us, as OT’s, as role models for healthy life styles - motivates me to try harder with my own habits and to be aware of the messages that I send with my own behavior:)
I really enjoyed listening to this podcast! I think that occupational therapists could easily integrate our skills, knowledge, and background into finding ways to support clients in engaging in occupations that are aligned with lifestyle medicine concepts in all the settings we work in. I am trying to incorporate this into my private practice, and am hoping to get connected within the American College of Lifestyle Medicine to find likeminded clinicans. If anyone else in this space is interested more in lifestyle medicine/optimization from the scope of OT, please connect with me!
