It is suggested as a method for healthcare practitioners of all types to use for opportunistic interventions when they encounter a situation in which a person's ideal behavior is discrepant from their actual behavior (I can't think of any examples, can you?).

Wouldn't this be any type of self-destructive behavior, such as poor eating habits, substance abuse, lack of exercise?

I have been thinking about motivational speaking again, in the area of reaching optimal health through diet. I know I am not an expert and would never claim to be, but I think my journey to health could serve as an example to others who are willing to take responsibility for their own well-being. It's on the burner, simmering. I still have a way to go before I'll feel that I am ready to use myself as an example.
