Q

So let’s say you are reviewing the health risk assessment of your new client
Charlene. She’s a 58-year-old African American woman who has Type 2 diabetes and is overweight. Charlene is concerned about her health because her mother had high blood pressure and died of an ischemic stroke. Her vision for herself includes managing her diabetes better and avoiding high blood pressure so she can live a longer, healthier life and spend time in the future traveling and enjoying her grandchildren.
So the question is, what kinds of SMART goals
might she set to decrease her likelihood of developing hypertension?
So, number one, might be, “I will eat a turkey sandwich for lunch every day instead of having a fast-food lunch.” Number two is, “Three times a week after work, I will get off my bus stop one stop before I usually do and walk the rest of the way home.” Number three. “I will drink more soda in order to increase my intake of fluids.” And number four is, number 1 only. And number five is numbers 1 and 2. So let’s see what is the answer here. So for this scenario the kinds of SMART goals that Charlene might set to decrease her likelihood of developing hypertension would be 1 and 2. Eating a turkey sandwich for lunch every day instead of having a fast-food lunch might help her reduce her intake of salty foods. Processed fast foods. And three times a week after work getting off her bus one stop earlier and walking the rest of the way home will increase her physical activity, helping her blood pressure to hopefully stay lower, because her blood vessels, her arteries, will be a little bit more relaxed. And it may actually help contribute to losing a little bit of weight. So those changes would be the ones to make, 1 and 2. TranscribeMe 2 / 8S1: 15:16Let’s take a look at a coaching scenario.

68
Q

What is arthritis?

A

Arthritis is the inflammation or swelling of one or more joints. Specific symptoms may vary but usually include joint pain and stiffness.

69
Q

What is Osteoarthritis?

A

So osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It’s sometimes called a degenerative joint disease or wear and tear arthritis. It most frequently occurs in the hands, hips, and knees. And we often call this OA.
Unfortunately, about 30 million US adults have OA.
It’s diagnosed through a physical exam and review of symptoms, X-rays, and lab tests.

  1. Cartilage and bones break down.
  2. These changes usually develop slowly and get worse over time.
  3. Pain, swelling, and stiffness can occur and can cause disability.
70
Q

What are some treatments for OA

A

And treatment for OA includes:
1. Self-management
2. physical activity
3. losing weight, if needed, because weight stresses the joints.
4. medications
5. physical therapy with muscle strengthening exercises that strengthen the muscles around joints. 6. Supportive devices, such as crutches or canes.
6. sometimes surgery.

71
Q

What are the risks factors for developing OA.

A
  1. joint injury or overuse.
  2. Being older. It increases with age.
  3. Being female. Especially after the age of 50, we tend to develop more arthritis.
  4. Being obese because extra weight does put stress on joints. Especially, our weight-bearing joints, like our hips and our knees.
  5. And genetics. People who have a family history are more likely to develop OA.

And fortunately for people who are Asian, Asian people have a lower risk of OA.

72
Q

What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?

A

Autoimmune disease and inflammation are involved in RA.

73
Q

What are the effects of RA

A
  1. RA mainly attacks the hands, wrists, and knees, but it can also affect other tissues.
  2. RA can cause problems in the lungs, heart, and the eyes.
  3. RA has flare-ups and remissions where it gets better.
  4. RA has a lot of physical and social consequences and can really affect the quality of life.
  5. With RA, the lining of affected joints becomes inflamed and damages the joint tissue.

People can have long-lasting or chronic pain. They can have unsteadiness and problems with balance. And their joints actually can become misshapen over time.

Signs and symptoms include pain, aching, stiffness, similar to OA, tenderness, and swelling in more than one joint on both sides of the body. And it can also have fatigue, fever, tiredness, weakness. And actually, people who have RA can die an early death.

74
Q

Who is at risk for RA?

A
  1. Older adults. Usually in their 60s. And it can begin at any age, though, but it is higher as people get older. 2. Genetics. There are specific genes that, when present, mean that a person is more likely to develop RA. These are called HLA class II genotypes. These are the Human Leukocyte Antigen, HLA, and genes. Which can also make arthritis worse if people have this gene.
  2. Obesity
  3. Smoking
    And interestingly, some early life exposures, for instance, people who were– as children who were– had mothers who smoked have double the risk of developing RA.
  4. Children of lower-income parents are in an increased risk of developing RA as well.
  5. Women have 2 to 3x the risk more than men.
  6. Women who have never given birth may be at higher risk of developing RA.

And those who have breastfed their infants have a decreased risk of developing RA.

75
Q

How is RA diagnosed?

A
  1. by reviewing the symptoms.
  2. conducting a physical exam.
  3. doing X-rays
  4. Doing lab tests.
76
Q

What is Fibromyalgia?

A
  1. Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain, sensitivity to pain, and some other symptoms.
  2. People with fibromyalgia have some sort of abnormal pain perception processing.
  3. Fibromyalgia affects 4 million US adults. About 2% of the adult population.

And the cause is really unknown but it can be effectively treated and managed.

  1. With fibromyalgia, people have pain and stiffness.
  2. A lot of sleep problems, so then they’re tired.
  3. And often depressed and sometimes have anxiety 7. brain fog with problems with thinking memory and concentration.
  4. can get headaches, including migraines.
  5. And often have tingling or numbness in their hands and feet,
  6. can have temporomandibular joint syndrome, which causes pain in their face or jaw in particular.
  7. Can have digestive problems, including bloating, constipation, or even irritable bowel syndrome, which we can also call IBS

Q

A 26-year-old man comes to the coach’s office for his ninth weekly session. He was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome 7 months ago. He has been
