A conversation with Dr. Michael Smith

Medication is sometimes required. But prevention starts with the patient.

This is one of the core philosophies of this week’s guest Dr. Michael Smith.

Naturopathic physician, and founder of Focused Family Integrative Medicine, he is dedicated to preventative medicine - advocating for sleep, exercise and nutrition as foundational pillars for health, not overmedication.

——

We spoke about the role of naturopathy within a healthcare team, why it's not a competition between disciplines but actually an integrative partnership, the role of doctors as teachers, epigenetics, how patients can be inquisitive, and the idea of healing versus curing.

See here for the paper regarding the AMA’s opposition to Naturopathic Doctor Licensure.
