In healthcare, rapport isn’t the product. Results are.
Walk into a networking event and you’ll hear the same line on repeat:
“People need to know, like, and trust you before they’ll buy.”
Cute for candles.
Terrifying for healthcare.
Because when you’re choosing someone to read your labs, decode your symptoms, and interpret your nervous system…
You don’t want a vibe.
You want competence.
You want someone who can see what others missed.
The “Know, Like, Trust” Model is Built for Buying Vibes—Not Restoring Physiology.
It’s a marketing tactic for:
- handmade soap
- realtors
- business coaches
- MLM energy water
It assumes your product is optional
and the risk is emotional.
Healthcare is the opposite:
- high risk
- high stakes
- non-optional physiology
Your nervous system doesn’t care if you ‘like’ me.
It cares if I can restore signal fidelity — the clarity your system lost when it started bracing and leaking.
What Actually Drives Healthcare Decisions
The nervous system runs on a different hierarchy entirely:
Clarity → Competence → Capacity Return
Let’s decode that:
- Clarity
- Do you finally feel understood?
- Can I explain what’s happening inside your system in a way that makes your body exhale?
- Competence
- Can I show you why your function derailed — not just pile on more “fixes”?
- Capacity Return
- Do you operate better in the next 14 days?
- Is your system less braced, leaking, or exhausted?
That is the real trust loop in medicine.
Not brunch. Not bonding. Not brand personality.
What Midlife Women Actually Need
You do not need:
- another practitioner who validates your depletion
- someone who “just holds space”
- someone you’d have wine with
You need a practitioner who will:
- interpret your signals
- rebuild your adaptive margin
- stop the metabolic and neurologic free-fall
You need strategic care, not friendship in scrubs.
🌟 The Vital Clarity Code Perspective
Here’s where this lives in the VCC arc:
- 🌱 Regulate: quiet the chaos and map the pattern
- 🌀 Rewire: rebuild architecture so your system stops short-circuiting
- 🔥 Reclaim: energy and stability return
- ✨ Resonate: your body holds the gains
Not because we bonded.
Because your biology finally had what it needed.
🪶 Micropractice: Interview Your Next Provider
Before you book with anyone — including me — ask:
“Tell me exactly what your model sees in my lab/autonomic profile/metabolic output. Show me why I’m locked in this pattern, not just what to do next.”
Listen carefully.
If the answer is:
- vague
- mindset-only
- a supplement sales pitch
- a “good vibes only” pep talk
- another round of expensive labs without direction or strategy
🛑 That’s not trust.
That’s guessing.
TL;DR
“Know–Like–Trust” is for hobbies.
Your health is not a hobby.
You don’t have to like me to work with me.
Your nervous system just has to respond.
If the last clinician you saw gave you tactics without clarity,
it’s time to map what your system is actually asking for.
