My family is fortunate enough to have health insurance through my husband's full-time work. We are even more fortunate that our policy covers naturopathic medicine, though as a specialist with a copay double the usual doctor visit. My son and I have had health issues that were unable to be resolved through our traditional doctors, despite trying, and were successfully addressed with naturopathic medicine. We have long relationships with our naturopathic doctors who have provided excellent care to us for over a decade. Naturopathic doctors play a valuable role in healthcare by emphasizing prevention, patient education, and a holistic approach to wellness. Their training integrates evidence-informed natural therapies with a focus on identifying and addressing underlying causes of illness rather than solely managing symptoms. By spending more time with patients and considering lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental factors, NDs support long-term health outcomes. Everyone should have access to this high level of care through their insurance.
