Don’t believe us? Here are some more facts:⁠
⁠
🍽️ The most recent data from the Association of American Medical Colleges says that MDs/DOs get an average of 19.6 total hours of nutrition education throughout their 4 years of medical school, however this ranges from 0-70 hours depending on the program.⁠
⁠
🥗 Licensed naturopathic doctors get from 100-220 hours of nutrition education. This includes not only clinical nutrition knowledge, but also drug-nutrient interactions. ⁠
⁠
🌺 There is no standard for MDs/DOs to learn botanical medicine or how to identify drug-herb interactions. While some medical schools may provide some context via elective courses, this is not required. This is especially important with increasing numbers of patients resorting to natural health products in conjunction with their conventional medical treatment.⁠
⁠
🌿 But what about functional medicine doctors? Functional medicine is not considered a standalone area of medicine. These are practitioners who obtain an additional online certification, while NDs have this education built into their curriculum with in-residence clinical supervision.⁠

When we tend to & steward ourselves, it does not mean we have to do it alone. It is nice to create & cultivate one's web of support on their journey. We need to be witnessed, reflected back, offered tools, wisdom, and empowerment along the way.

I am here to be part of your own web of support and guide on your own healing journey. Are you ready for more support? ~ Comment "Tend to me" ~

"Steward" means "to take care of" or "to manage or look after."How are we stewarding ourselves? How does that interconnect with stewarding the planet? We re...
