How to Find an Effective Holistic Doctor
There has literally never, in our lifetime, been a point when it was so important to have a good doctor.  One that you can trust.  One that helps you get well.  One that doesn’t just tell you to drink the kool-aid.  All through the Bible, we see God separate his people out from non-believers.  And we are watching this same pattern occur right before our very eyes in so many areas, healthcare being one of them.  If the past two years have taught us anything, it should be that we need a good doctor, or two, in our corner.   Today we are going to be discussing some of the different types of holistic doctors.  In the last two episodes we talked about the qualities you should look for in a doctor and the differences in natural healthcare and conventional medicine.  If you missed either one of those episodes, you may want to go back and listen to those first.  There is also a free download with episode 23, that contains more information about what qualities you want your doctor to have in order to get the best care.   All of the doctors we are going to talk about today are holistic, meaning that they treat the entire body as one unit.  I think we can all agree that factors such as sleep, nutrition, lifestyle, and stress have a significant impact on our health.  A holistic doctor will look at these factors and their impact on your connected body systems.  Most holistic doctors have some common beliefs.  They believe in preventing illness and treating the underlying root cause of the disease.  They develop a relationship with their patients with the goal of keeping them well.  Many times they will choose the least invasive or least intrusive treatment options first.  Sometimes they combine alternative medicine and traditional medicine.  And one of the most important differences in my opinion, is that they don’t believe a diagnosis should define you. One of the main objections that I hear to seeking out a holistic doctor is that it doesn’t work as well as traditional medicine, and that simply is not true.  In fact, it is just the opposite.  It works much better than conventional medicine in most circumstances.   So, let’s assume that you have decided to give alternative medicine a try, how do you know what kind of doctor to even look for?  What’s out there?  Who can be trusted?  How do you find them?  What should you expect when you get there?  So many questions… Let’s start with what your options are.  In this episode, I will introduce you to five types of holistic doctors: integrative, chiropractic, osteopathic, functional, and naturopathic.  Choose the type that speaks to you.  Find one in your area, and give them a try.  Be sure to use The Seven Qualities to Look for in a Doctor download to help you find the best one.  Click below for the free PDF.  My goal is to see you healthy! https://creative-creator-7342.ck.page/38f3acb7fd
