The health care practitioner you choose is one of the most important decisions you'll make in your life. The people Dr. Saputo recommends as Health and Wellness Coaches have all been personally screened by Dr. Saputo himself so you can rest assured that they are knowledgeable, caring healers, with the highest integrity.
These health care practitioners follow the principles of Health Medicine: integrative, holistic, person-centered, and prevention oriented.
A Wellness Coach on DoctorSaputo.com is a position that we take very seriously and our team has done its best to ensure the highest integrity at all phases of this process.
All Wellness Coaches are professionals and have their expertise in one area or another in the field of health and wellness. They may be a physician, a nurse, nutritionist, or any of a wide range of healthcare practioners. During the the Application Process, a new Program Member is asked to take a Matching Survey. Here is where they will be matched with a Wellness Coach of their choice based on the information that they can read about each Wellness Coach listed. This information is provided by the Wellness Coach themselves and it is not written by DoctorSaputo.com staff. Dr. Saputo has done his best to be selective as to who is a Wellness Coach on the site, but is not responsible for what is written by the Coach.
It can be the choice of the new Program Member to not select a Wellness Coach and a Member can enjoy all the information and interactive experience of DoctorSaputo.com without ever interacting with a Coach.
At any time, any member can go to their Personal Profile from their Home Page and check off a box that does not allow their Wellness Coach to see any of their data. Privacy is of the utmost concern to us.
Wellness Coaches are available on DoctorSaputo.com as the "real person" available when a Member needs to take a step beyond the empowering self-assessment interaction of the site. Many people never contact their Wellness Coach and find the information that is personalized for them through the way that they answer the self assessent Surveys are more than sufficient. Members can monitor their own Tracking Graphs and self assessments and this is one of the most self-empowering and personal healing aspects of this site.
The Wellness Coach is one click away to the Member that is Matched with them when the Member has a question that is beyond the scope of the answers they receive, or when they would like to consider engaging in the professional services of the Wellness Coach. If you are interested in having a skype or phone consultation with your wellness coach they can be set up and purchased in our store, at a discounted rate for our members.
If ever a Member would like to be Matched with another Wellness Coach in the DoctorSaputo.com Program they are in, this is their preogative.
