How Chronic Conditions Drive Desperation: The High Cost of Naturopathic Care


We look at the world of alternative medicine, exploring the clash between naturopathy and evidence-based medicine with former naturopathic doctor Britt Marie Hermes and board-certified physician Dr. Michael Lenz. They offer unique perspectives on the allure of alternative treatments, particularly for those battling chronic conditions like fibromyalgia.

We dissect the dangers of misinformation and the role of patient advocacy in navigating the complex healthcare landscape. The episode sheds light on the frustration and outrage felt by patients who often feel dismissed by traditional medicine, leading them to seek solutions outside the established medical system.

Dr. Lenz's expertise in treating fibromyalgia and his commitment to a holistic, evidence-based approach provides a counterpoint to the often unproven claims of naturopathy and other alternative practices. We discuss the importance of informed decision-making, the risks of healthcare scams, and the need for greater understanding and empathy within the medical community for those suffering from chronic illnesses.

Join us for this eye-opening conversation as we unpack the complexities of healthcare choices in an era of outrage overload
