Confused by all the holistic health titles out there? You’re not alone— here's how to make sense of it all.
Between naturopathic doctors, osteopaths, functional medicine practitioners, and integrative providers — it can feel overwhelming trying to understand who does what, and how they’re different from a traditional MD.
In this episode, I break down the key differences between Western (allopathic) and holistic approaches to health, including what each path offers and how their philosophies, training, and treatment styles differ. We’ll explore what terms like functional medicine, osteopathy, naturopathy, and homeopathy actually mean — so you can confidently choose providers who align with your needs, values, and healing goals.
Whether you're navigating hormonal concerns, chronic fatigue, or just want more natural support, this episode will give you the clarity you need to make empowered decisions about your care.
