Hello World! I am so excited to start this blog. As a naturopathic physician I am passionate about natural healthcare, preventative medicine and patient education. I’ve found that a lot of my patients are confused about many of the basic concepts of healthcare. And why shouldn’t they be? If you google a healthcare topic you’re likely to be bombarded with 100s of sites with varying degrees of legitimacy and quackitude (yes, I know this isn’t a real word, but it should be). It’s hard to know which sites are legitimate and which are downright fraud. I went to 5 years of medical school on top of my bachelor’s degree and I can get confused. I hope to take some of the mystery out of healthcare concepts and current trends by presenting the research in a simple, straightforward way. While this blog is not meant to give medical advice for specific conditions, hopefully you’ll be able to use some of this information in your own life to increase your wellness and become a stronger advocate for your own healthcare. Remember, every bit of knowledge that you acquire and embrace will bring you closer to becoming the best you that you can be. Do more than exist… excel!
Feel free to ask questions about my current topic or submit ideas for new topics. I’ll do my best to respond to your inquiries.
