A health questionnaire

For health coaches, consultants, advisors and the victims who may be interested in presenting synthesized information in advance.

The risk for a victimizer in automatizing this process is that a crutch can promote laziness, it’s a form of standarization and there will be temptation for further optimization of the entire practice by categorizing people according to their profile and picturing a protocol for each group. Problem-solving might require creative routes and being stuck to a profile can be counterproductive, important cues may be missed.

Nevertheless, people will contact the helper at inopportune times and he/she will have to function against odds. Just like in emergencies, it’s valuable to have a guide to not get lost. Add to that the possibility that there can be difficulty in communication and the information may be too scattered to sort out without biting a great share of the consultation length; it’s too much time spent just to obtain the basic information.

Here are some of them to consider:

• Where does you lives and for how long?
• Height and weight? 1800 calories is breakfast for Jorge González.

• How is your diet like? Please detail 3 typical days.
• Any restriction? Why?
• Imposed diets in the past?

• What are your cravings? One of the most important questions.
  Are there foods that you can’t get enough of? For clues on what’s desperately needed or being wasted.

• How is digestion?
• Noticeable bad reactions to foods? How long it takes for them to manifest after consumption?

• Frequency of evacuations? Are they complete?

• What supplements and medications are currently used (brand/form, dose and frequency)?
• What has helped you the most so far?
• And what were most harmful?

• Cooking/drinking/showering water quality?

• Physical activity (intensity, duration and frequency)?
• How much is needed to exert you?
• Uninterrupted sitting for how long on average?

• Standing, sitting, and sleeping posture?

• Breathing pattern (fast, slow, deep, shallow)?

• At what times do you usually fall asleep and wake up?
• How good is the sleep?

• Sunlight exposure?

• Illumination of the places where you spend most of your day?
• Have you tested for EM pollution in them (including near bed)?
• How is their air quality?

• Hypersensitive to something in the environment?

• Remarkable infections present?

• Ever tracked Broda and Raj’s temperature and pulse throughout the day?

• Available lab tests?
• Were there any targeted interventions to affect markers on a desired direction?

• How did issues start? Were there turning points? Why?

• What symptoms does you has?
• Is there a pattern to them (after doing something, specific period of the day, coincident with something else, and so on)?

• Surgeries? No, this is not an offer.

• What motivates you in life?
• Supportive companion? 1 g of thiamin at once can’t stop the axe thrown by the partner, may only help dodge faster.

If a question is formulated with impatience, the person must respond accordingly. The victim has to sense interest to cooperate best.

Note that the more you ask, the more it raises the expectation that it’s going to lead to a resolution. This is considering that someone who seeks alternative means to be helped probably couldn’t solve the problems on their own and the conventional system failed. These are not necessarily tough cases, the solution can be simple, but it must not be obvious.

The holistic approach is not needed, but addressing the blind spots can increase the chances of success.

It’s advisable to put issues at the end of the list or read them in this order to minimize bias when assessing the case.

Some questions are redundant depending on how you interact with the victim since the information can be obtained through observation.
