Lyme disease cases are rising nationwide as ER visits for tick bites hit multi-year highs. Doctors warn that while rare, Lyme can inflame the heart and become life-threatening if missed.

Delaware State track coach Stephen Kimes learned this after months of pain and shortness of breath that tests later tied to Lyme.

This week, the AANP formally called on the US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Education to recognize ND education as the nation’s most comprehensive model for physician-level nutrition training.

Why this matters:
-ND programs provide upwards of 220 hours of nutrition training vs. just a few hours in most MD programs.

-NDs are already trained to integrate nutrition with whole-person, preventive care.

We urged federal leaders to:
• Demonstrate whole-health integration in care

• Support pilots & evaluation of ND approaches

• Remove barriers limiting patient access to NDs

• Leverage existing partnerships with NIH and existing federal partnerships to accelerate nutrition-centered reforms

This is a pivotal step in positioning naturopathic doctors as leaders in whole-health and preventive care at the highest levels of federal leadership.

Stay tuned as we continue advocating for ND inclusion in shaping the future of medical education and patient care. Read the letter here: https://bit.ly/4mEGuav
