Doctor: mm-hmm <1:32:05 PM> Ben - Patient: yeah I mean they tell me every time I go in you know this is what it's for but it's just you know there's so much to keep track of its like <1:32:06 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: have you reached out <1:32:09 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: about trying to get some clarification on what you should and shouldn't be taking <1:32:20 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: problem <1:32:23 PM> Ben - Patient: at the end of the day it's just it could it could say anything and <1:32:29 PM> Ben - Patient: doesn't really matter just there's so much to keep track of and it's <1:32:31 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: so <1:32:32 PM> Ben - Patient: it's just hard <1:32:33 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: which changes would you like to see in order to kind of help manage your current situation <1:32:36 PM> Ben - Patient: I mean <1:32:41 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: mm-hmm <1:32:45 PM> Ben - Patient: ideally if there were fewer meds I know <1:32:51 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: mm-hmm <1:32:52 PM> Ben - Patient: you know they say all these are important but <1:32:56 PM> Ben - Patient: I don't know why like how <1:32:59 PM> Ben - Patient: feel <1:32:59 PM> Ben - Patient: it doesn't feel like it's helping I don't <1:33:02 PM> Ben - Patient: I'm getting <1:33:04 PM> Ben - Patient: like I'm <1:33:07 PM> Ben - Patient: well and can jump around and run around and everything so <1:33:11 PM> Ben - Patient: you know <1:33:12 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: yeah and I just I know from what we discussed really a lot of these are <1:33:13 PM> Ben - Patient: I don't know <1:33:15 PM> Ben - Patient: I do like <1:33:15 PM> Ben - Patient: yeah I mean I've been told you know I need to I like I need to move around more <1:33:20 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: related to some part in some shape or form to you know lifestyle and your diet and exercise and caring your motivation to try to reduce the amount of medications <1:33:33 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: what changes have you thought about your own life that could maybe be beneficial to trying to reduce the amount <1:33:40 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: mm-hmm <1:33:48 PM> Ben - Patient: you know sit around at the house and <1:33:48 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: mm-hmm <1:33:51 PM> Ben - Patient: watch TV and not do much it's kind of what I enjoy doing and <1:33:56 PM> Ben - Patient: tell me you know I don't I don't have the best diet but you know I don't <1:34:02 PM> Ben - Patient: like eating my junk food and I've been doing that for a while so you know it's hard to change that <1:34:07 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: yeah <1:34:07 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: Absol <1:34:07 PM> Ben - Patient: yeah I guess I haven't really thought about how that could help <1:34:10 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: and then kind of relating back to the medications <1:34:14 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: um what changes have you thought of that you could maybe Implement to try to <1:34:20 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: maybe get off some of these medications that you wouldn't have to rely on as much <1:34:25 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: mm-hmm <1:34:31 PM> Ben - Patient: I mean maybe reduce the meds but yeah I think <1:34:36 PM> Ben - Patient: you know how with the you know eating better I guess that could potentially <1:34:41 PM> Ben - Patient: helping maybe in some time I wouldn't have to be on all these meds <1:34:48 PM> Ben - Patient: I would say <1:34:48 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: what are I guess <1:34:52 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: of your <1:34:52 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: would you say your motivation level is currently about trying to you know integrate some <1:34:59 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: own <1:35:00 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: style changes <1:35:02 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: fun <1:35:07 PM> Ben - Patient: probably like a four you know just because <1:35:11 PM> Ben - Patient: yeah it's it's hard to make these changes but at the same time I think I'm <1:35:15 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: mm-hmm yeah <1:35:17 PM> Ben - Patient: realizing that it could be <1:35:20 PM> Ben - Patient: the only thing that could help with getting off these muds <1:35:24 PM> Ben - Patient: because I do you know realize that <1:35:26 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: and so why would you say maybe like a two or three <1:35:36 PM> Ben - Patient: I want to be off these meds and this this might be the only option so <1:35:42 PM> Ben - Patient: is some some motivation there to change <1:35:43 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: okay <1:35:47 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: what changes were kind of like some basic first steps you think you can easily integrate into <1:35:53 PM> Ben - Patient: um well I think you know maybe moving around a little bit more <1:35:54 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: you know your life today lifestyle activities <1:36:04 PM> Ben - Patient: maybe scheduling in a few walks <1:36:07 PM> Ben - Patient: every day or so <1:36:09 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: to you <1:36:09 PM> Ben - Patient: um <1:36:11 PM> Ben - Patient: just getting out of the house a little bit more <1:36:13 PM> Ben - Patient: and then <1:36:15 PM> Ben - Patient: you know I guess I have to cut down on the junk food <1:36:17 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: yeah <1:36:18 PM> Ben - Patient: it's going to be hard but <1:36:21 PM> Ben - Patient: yeah I guess that's something I have to consider now <1:36:26 PM> Ben - Patient: I think I have to do a better job grocery shopping so <1:36:27 PM> Jordan Prox - Doctor: so I guess what are be if you could just name like one or two things will it be your top priorities in terms of changes you would want to make <1:36:43 PM> Ben - Patient: um <1:36:44 PM> Ben - Patient: yeah I'm gonna have to I'm gonna go to the grocery store make some some changes cut down on the junk food maybe try to get some some healthier foods now <1:36:52 PM> Paul Hershberger: well stop here <1:36:54 PM> Ben -
