I have a terrific new naturopathic doctor who actually cares about my health and will run blood panels frequently and let me know what lifestyle changes and supplements would help me. I never knew before that I was deficient in zinc. Before her though, most of my doctors were of the bland "if you aren't in extreme pain then it's not a problem" camp.

I would much rather have a "if you aren't in extreme pain then it's not a problem" doctor, than one who would over diagnose every minor issue.

I'd rather have a competent doctor than either of those.

And them listening to their patient is a necessary condition! A doctor who doesn’t listen to his/her patient is a red flag.

And one who doesn't just happen to sell the thing she just told you you need.

I've recently discovered that naturopaths actually go to med school and that a naturopaths has a license to practice medicine, which blows my mind. I always thought they were snake oil salesmen.
