The Case For Whole Person Health Care
Whole person health care is an intriguing new concept to many. Health care models that deliver whole person care are increasingly entering the mainstream. Several new models have emerged and are being evaluated for efficacy and financial feasibility. One such example is the Whole Health Systems of the Veterans Administration (VA). The VA began this ...
INM Launches MD DO Advisory Board in Conjunction With Launch of Naturopathic White Paper
In development for more than three years, the naturopathic profession has launched a white paper that provides supporting evidence for the profession’s significant and unique contributions to preventive, whole person care and models of integrative clinical practice.

New White Paper From the Institute for Natural Medicine Shines Light on Primary Care
One of the reasons that I entered naturopathic medical school was to become part of the solution to an underperforming health care system. I was inspired to join the ranks of NDs in delivering whole-person, preventive therapies and natural medicine. Imagine if that transformation were integrated into primary care with conventionally trained doctors and allied ...
Food is Medicine: A Strategy Whose Time Has Come!
You are what you eat. We’ve all heard that. But it is a little more complicated; you are what you eat, process, absorb and fail to eliminate correctly.

Digestion is an increasingly important topic in health and wellness. New information is emerging almost daily about the microbiome, our gut-brain connection, and the role of pre and probiotics in systemic inflammation, immune function and mood. Digestion alone, however, is an insufficient topic to address in a patient if the related factors regarding personal food ...

The Fall of Precedence
We may all remember 2020 as the year of the “unprecedented.” The word has been used to describe everything from the pandemic, the resulting health care crisis, the economic impact, unemployment rates, kids schooling from home, universities pivoting to online classes and teleconferencing as the new norm.
