Hey everyone, I just received a question from a lady. She wants to know how she can find a doctor that matches her holistic philosophy? Well, this is a wonderful question because, you know, you can go to 10 different specialists, and based on their specialty, they’re going to diagnose you based on their specialty. And they tend to be very compartmentalized, so they stay in a very narrow field. I find what’s better is to find a generalist who can look at the whole picture and treat you as an integrated whole system because that’s what we are.

And I think that with all the specialties out there, we can get pigeonholed into a certain track and the practitioner is not able to see the whole picture. So easier said than done, but if you look for somebody who can be more integrated into the whole, I think you have a good chance to get a match.

Alright everybody, have a great day.
