Yahoo!7 Answers Australia

The NPS MedicineWise team has become a part of the furniture in the health category here at Yahoo!7 Answers in recent months.

It’s fabulous that we live in a time when we can draw on the experiences of a community like Yahoo!7 Answers to help us with our dilemmas, share information, provide reassurance and a listening ear at any time of the day or night.

When it comes to our health and wellbeing, though, it’s really important to know how to find information that’s accurate, relevant, and up-to-date. That’s why NPS MedicineWise is a Knowledge Partner here at Yahoo!7 Answers.

Who is NPS MedicineWise?

You might have seen some of our responses to questions about different medical conditions and the use of medicines. NPS MedicineWise is independent and not-for-profit – funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, and we have no commercial interests. Our purpose is to enable people to make better decisions about medicines and medical tests – to help people “be medicinewise”.

We keep an eye on Yahoo!7 Answers and try to contribute balanced, evidence-based information to people who are looking to make decisions about their health and the medicines they take.

Delving deeper

The information we do provide is not meant to take the place of medical advice – so that’s why you’ll always see us encouraging people to talk to a qualified health professional such as their GP or pharmacist.

One of the best ways to be medicinewise is to ask the right questions – so that you can get the most out of your medicines and make better informed decisions about them. So keep the health and medical questions coming, and if you want to know more about how to be medicinewise, check out the NPS MedicineWise website: http://www.nps.org.au/bemedicinewise

Who is ‘The Love Coach’?
I am Carolin Dahlman. I’m 35 years old, I was born in Sweden and now live in Sydney. I am the author of 5 books.

How do you help people?
I do one on one coaching. I analyse my clients to see what they need to change to get more control over their love life. What can they do, think or be to reach their goals? I ask questions to make them see the answers from within and develop. I push, give energy and create self awareness.

What made you want to help people with relationships & love?
I have always wanted to do something meaningful. It took me into politics for 20 years, but now I can still work to create happiness but in a more positive way. I love my job.

What’s an example of how you’ve helped someone?
I have successfully coached several people who have been tired and bored in their relationship to find energy and passion towards life and their partner again. I have made people more aware of what they have been doing wrong, so that they now are able to change.

Analytic, warm, energetic, happy, honest
