How many of you know what naturopathic medicine is?

I am working on my medical degree in Naturopathic Medicine and am proud of this journey and having this as my calling!

Naturopathic medical education encompasses all that other doctors learn (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, etc). We also receive education in pharmacology! We learn physical medicine, homeopathy, botanicals/herbs, nutrition, and much more! It has been an absolute beast to learn! We focus on the therapeutic relationship, knowing that that in itself is healing.

Have you ever been to a naturopathic doctor? What's your experience?

From the Naturopathic Oath, 6 Principles of Naturopathic Medicine to the Therapeutic Order, AANMC provides a foundation for NDs.

Hey fan club! it’s been a while since I’ve given an update!
I’m currently in my last year of my program. Graduation is set for June! Although I started school thinking about studying neurodegenerative diseases, I've started becoming interested in chronic pain! My previous career was in personal training and strength and conditioning. Many of my clients had pain! Ive been focusing on my physical medicine skills which include chiropractic manipulation, soft tissue work, exercises, and stretches. Next I hope to learn how to do joint and soft tissue injections.
Do you have chronic pain? Tell me what you've tried in the comments to help your pain!

It's week 7 of the quarter and here I am with Cassie helping me get through my imaging videos.

This week I am reminded of the importance of the self. With life swirling all around us.. relationships, work, school, kids and pets, and whatever else.. when is there time for ourselves? I'm not going to lie, sometimes I have no idea what I need in order to come back to myself and feel okay. Sometimes I feel like I am falling with no end in sight. The best I can do is try to meet myself where I am at. Doesn't matter what I should be, or what I could be, only what I am. So if I have to postpone studying another hour so I can cry it out, squeeze my cat, and love myself.. that's what I'm gonna do.

What do you do to love yourself? how do you come back to center? Are you as confused as I am? 🙃

Got some lemon balm, and some Thai holy basil at the farmers market today. Off the top of my head, lemon balm, also called Melissa officinalis, is a great anti-microbial (anti- viral and bacterial). It can be used in a tea to create a divine smelling treat. And holy basil has medicinal benefits too. Do you want to hear more about these herbs as they grow? What plants do you have?

Yesterday I visited the Helfgott Reaearch Institute and got acquainted with my job as a Research Assistant! I’m psyched to learn more about the technology we will be using to conduct our study!

I've been trying to figure out what I want to say. My journey is one that is long and full of twists and turns. The internet is flooded with articles, fun facts, and information overload. A new wave of realness is coming to the tik tok world where people are sharing videos of themselves and their raw emotions.

I don't think anyone wants to hear my monotone voice and purple undereye bags on the daily, but I think I can provide a space where not only me- but others can relate and share their journey through life.

I have not focused on mental health with respect to my doctor journey, but it's really everything, isn't it? if you don't have that, then what do you really have? So, I will share the struggles of my past, my current, and where I wish to go in the future. I hope through this, I can impact you all in a meaningful way. If you feel so inclined, share in a comment or send me an anonymous post and I will post for you.

I am passionate about encouraging, motivating, and educating others in their path towards healing. It's a rocky road, filled with glorious highs and deep, dark lows. Let's do it together.
