We are often asked to contribute articles related to living a healthy lifestyle, naturopathic medicine, parenting and fostering health habits in children, natural approaches to … and a range of other topics relating to health (e.g., meditation).
As often as possible, we happily contribute.
Naturopathic medicine is not simply the practice of substituting a natural medicine for a pharmaceutical one. Naturopathic medicine is the the process of creating a healthy lifestyle, the “natural consequence” of which is health, and educating and empowering patients (and people in general) to understand what are healthy choices and and act on them (this is one of the reasons we continue to describe ourselves as “naturopathic doctors”, as opposed to “naturopathic physicians” – the word “doctor” has the original meaning, “teacher”).
Viewed through this lens, a well-researched and thoughtfully written magazine article or blog post is a way of practicing naturopathic medicine.
