A lot of you asked what I would change about my undergrad degree ...😅⤵️ I wish I knew about Physician Assistants before I started college (I found out about that career path towards the end of undergrad). Otherwise, I would have worked toward a PA degree (ideally a BS+MS program) and then my ND degree. I could have applied to a PA program (MS only) after undergrad, but at the time, I felt rushed to go straight to naturopathic medical school (pressure put on myself by myself). Don't get me wrong though, my degree was still great (Health and Wellness), and I took pre-med classes outside of my degree program and volunteered to help with research. But I wish I had a stronger background/more experience in the medical field before ND school, and I feel like a PA degree would have been a good option for me to pursue.

A degree in Biomechanics sounds awesome! Honestly, it doesn't matter which degree you choose as long as you complete the pre-requisite coursework required for admission into an accredited naturopathic medical school. If you resonate more with Biomechanics, then go with that.👌

I can’t believe how many people are against naturopathy. MD's have always let me down and a professional in the studies of cancer was the reason why my mother is gone. I studied into natural cancer treatments and while my mom was on them her cancer didn’t spread. She then turned to the doc instead of me, got her shot of chemo, and passed away 2 weeks or so later. She was 40. I’m going to become a naturopath to try and change other people’s lives.

Hello! Thank you for this video. About two years ago I was in my junior year of high school when I was contemplating on my career path. I have always been intrigued by medicine but have my opinions about Big Pharma. I then began my research of functional medicine and came across Naturopathic Medicine and your channel. I remember I DM'd you (maybe you don't recall since it was about two years ago lol) and asked if you recommend any undergrad degree, and mentioned that it did not really matter, only to complete pre-reqs. In your video you mentioned one thing you would change from your journey would be your undergrad degree, and I would like to know more about your thoughts and why! I am now a freshman in college and am majoring in Biomedical Science. I am still in the fence about either pursuing medical or naturopathic school based on how society criticizes holistic medicine. However, I strongly believe in naturopathic medicine and would love to practice it some way or the other. Either by attending ND school and becoming an ND or attending MD but completing some licenses, like mentioned in your video! I really hope naturopathic medicine is more well accepted in our society in the next couple of years. I would also like to ask. if there is anything you would recommend for me to do/complete during my undergrad years, such as volunteering, research or internships involving holistic medicine. Sorry for the long comment lol, I am just a really curious freshman that is interested in naturopathic medicine but is a little lost. Again, Thank you!
@TalkNaturalToMe4 жыл бұрын
Hi Monica! Wow, you're so young ahh! 🙊 So much to look forward to in the years to come. You still have time to make a decision. A lot can change in 2 years with the naturopathic medical profession. In the meantime, focus on a pre-med track and getting all the pre-requisites done for medical school (MD/DO/ND - all fairly similar). Either career path you decide to pursue will be great. Definitely get involved volunteering/researching/doing an internship (I would do conventional over integrative. If you really want to volunteer at a holistic or integrative medical practice, do that in addition to doing work with conventional docs). Also, I pinned a comment talking about my undergrad degree at the top 😘 Best of luck on your journey!💓

Hi Tiffany! Is being vaccinated a requirement for going back to school to obtain your Bachelor's degree? This is a tough question that only you can answer. If it's a requirement then I'm really not sure what else there is to do if you really want to go back to school and pursue a naturopathic medicine degree...

Are you able to get an exemption? Please let us know. I was able to at my collage but I am at the bottom level.. just went back to school a few semesters ago. But I am also with you on this

Is it hard to find a job as an ND? Is there a match process?
@TalkNaturalToMe2 жыл бұрын
Hi Jai. Most of my colleagues were able to find jobs before graduating but a lot of naturopathic doctors also open up their own practice. There are resources provided by the schools to help you find a job as well.

If you practice in a state that doesn’t license it means *you can* practice (freely!) not you can’t 🙄

If you're practicing freely in an unlicensed state as a Naturopathic Doctor, including treating/diagnosing/performing physical exams, then you are practicing medicine illegally. But you can see clients (not patients) as a naturopath and work as a wellness consultant.

Can naturopathic doctors specialize in immunology? If not what’s the closet specialty to this for a naturopath?

Hi Christian! I've never met an ND specializing in immunology (yet) but I'm sure there are some out there!

Talk Natural To Me do you think becoming a md would be a better idea
@TalkNaturalToMe4 жыл бұрын
I think it depends on what you want to do. Do you want to do more research or clinical? Naturopathic medicine can definitely help with things like allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, and certain immunodeficiency disorders - so either ND or MD would be a good choice. If you're leaning towards research or primarily treating/managing immunodeficieny disorders then MD would probably be the better route.
