At thirty years of age, Kristi Boles had the world at
her feet. She was married with children and was running nine
successful podiatry practices in Victoria, Australia; however, her
health took a sudden downward turn resulting in heart surgery and a
very long lay off from running her businesses. She was also
diagnosed with Marfan's Syndrome.
On this podcast episode, Kristi openly talks about her sudden,
unexpected health issues and also how she has transformed her own
life, and that of her patients by being more aware of the
fundamentals of healing and good health.
Taking Wednesday's Off
Kristi takes off every Wednesday to rejuvenate, work on her
business, with her team member and focus on business mentoring. She
gets excited on Tuesday afternoons knowing she has the next day
off.
Marfans Syndrome & Dissected Aorta
She was running nine podiatry businesses and working full time
herself, which lead to burnout and aorta dissected. This health
scare began her journey about better health and bringing this
knowledge into practice.
When you have a health scare, you get a whole new perspective
about being a mother, a wife and a business owner. It doesn't take
long to work out your priorities.
This was when Kristi decided to consolidate her businesses and
integrate nutrition into her life and businesses
systems.
It's All About Good Communication
After her doctors gave her the all clear to go back to work
Kristi realised they never listened to how she was feeling.
Yes her heart was fine, but no one asked about her diet and
overall health and wellbeing. She was not drinking enough water,
had high stress, and even though she was eating well, she was
missing the fundamentals of good health.
She had migraines, fatigued, no energy to last the full day
and needed an afternoon sleep.
With good communication, you can set better treatment plans,
and after listening to your patients, you will also know if they
are capable of doing it.
Journey of Self-Education
So many people with chronic problems:
- Don’t have resources
- Do not understand the fundamentals of healing
- Need assistance in making better decisions themselves
It is a tool for practitioners to use with their patients and
it's an evidence-based program, and it stays within the scope
of practice. It's used as:
- A screening tool
- Patient education booklet
- Patient diary
- Patient referral tool
- Resource library

As health practitioners, we’re all singing the same tune,
which is why we all need to be working together for the patients'
benefit. It shows we care.
Keeping Patients Accountable
When you check in with your patients about their hydration and
diet, it will make them more conscious, and they will make an
effort to do the right thing and improve. It's about empowered
patients.
Patients will start making the decisions themselves and
success leads to more success. It also has a mirroring effect; we
become that role model as well.
Number One tip
Truly listening to your patients is where it all starts. They
know their body better than you, but it begins by asking the right
questions.
