This week, Thomas interviews our inspiring friend Dr. Tieraona Low Dog. Thomas talks to Tieraona about her upbringing, her love of the outdoors, coping with life’s challenges and acknowledging that they inherently bring gifts, and attending taekwondo school early in life. A true holistic healer dedicated to enhancing empowered wellbeing, Tieraona speaks about the sage advice she received from her grandmother, being a community herbalist, and her journey in becoming a doctor. We hope you enjoy this honest, grounded, and truly beautiful episode.  

Tieraona Low Dog, M.D., R.H., began exploring the natural world more than 35 years ago as she studied midwifery, herbalism, massage therapy, and martial arts, before earning her medical degree from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. An internationally recognized expert in the fields of integrative medicine, dietary supplements, and women’s health, Dr. Low Dog was appointed by President Bill Clinton to the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy, served as the elected Chair of the US Pharmacopeia Dietary Supplements and Botanicals Expert Information Panel, and was appointed to the Scientific Advisory Council for the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Dr. Low Dog shares her loves of plants and natural healing with students who come from all over the world to study with her at her ranch in Pecos, New Mexico and online at MedicineLodgeRanch.com.
