Episode 6: Navigating Info Overload, Social Media, and the Polarized World of Medicine with Doctors Brooke Weitz and Megan Anderson Saunders
Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Others
I’m excited to have my friends Dr. Brooke Weitz and Dr. Megan Anderson Saunders with me today. We’re going to chat about tapping into your intuition in order to navigate what is worth checking out, what isn’t, and how to deal with the information overload.
Social media has grown a lot in recent years and fortunately, naturopathic medicine and techniques are getting more exposure than ever before, but it's hard to tell what's real and what's just an ad. Social media isn’t a good place to get answers, but it is a good place to formulate some questions, which you can then take to your doctor to sort out.
The only magic bullet to really feeling better is consistency, listening to your body, and working closely with your medical team.
