What exactly does a Naturopath do?
This is a question I get asked a lot, and before you ask the next question — no, I am not a Naturopath! But I do believe that a well trained ND should be on your wellness team. I think a tribe of qualified practitioners can become a part of your full health picture, and having this support system in place can be fundamental to your health & healing.
Today on the podcast, I’m interviewing Dr. Laura Anderson ND, and we are diving into all thing Naturopathic Medicine. Laura is the Naturopathic Doctor for Team Simplicity, and adds support for all of the ladies inside my courses, The Simplicity Project and The Hormone Project.
During this episode she will explain what exactly naturopathic medicine is, what you can expect and how working with a qualified Naturopath can help you and your family as well.
