Growing up, my mom used Asian medicine and Allopathic Medicine at home. She considered the effects of each food on the body and paired each dish accordingly to ensure that every meal was well balanced. Bone broth was a staple and the fridge was always stocked with health promoting teas.

Many things like bone broth, turmeric, chia seeds, avocados, or ginseng have become trends and more recently recognized for their health benefits, but these are foods that I grew up with.

We saw both a Traditional Chinese Doctor and a Medical Doctor. For our family, it was not just one or the other.

To me, naturopathic medicine is not just medicine, it is a lifestyle, one that I want to share.
