E020 Naturopathic Doctor Takes Her Medical Practice Virtual & Global - Dr Alexis Shields
Dr. Alexis Shields was practicing Naturopathic Medicine in Portland and had built a successful practice and career but the book Four Hour Work Week motivated her and her husband to close the practice and take it virtual. This meant that they could travel the world and live anywhere. We catch up to her from her apartment in Lisbon Portugal 3 years after leaving the US to build her virtual company and virtual lifestyle.
What is the definition of a Naturopathic Doctor? In the US, NDs are trained as primary care physicians that focus on a patient's functional issues. Through a weird series of events in her life she learned the value and power behind treating diseases through diet and lifestyle choices as opposed to prescription medications.
The Naturopathic path also coincided with her passion for traveling but it's taken a lot of work to get her virtual business and her virtual lifestyle in sync. This path has taken her to Thiland, Vietnam, Nepal, Berlin, Croatia and now Lisbon Portugal.
In this episode we discuss...
What steps lead her to close her successful practice to follow a non-traditional path.
How the perception of natural medicine in the US differs from other countries.
Ending her traditional trajectory and the risks associated with this decision.
How she was inspired by 'virtual nomads' and virtual entrepreneurs that figured out a way to live anywhere and still earn income.
The licenses that are required for her to practice natural medicine.
The system that she's built that allows her to treat patients from all over the world.
The laws that govern her industry.
How her virtual lifestyle has evolved over the 3 years since leaving her traditional career path.
If you've ever dreamed of living abroad and living the nomadic, expat lifestyle then this episode will definitely inspire you and maybe motivate you to quit that 9 to 5 job to follow your own entrepreneurial path.
