  7. Foundations of Health

Part 1: Introduction

Everyone defines “being healthy” their own way, but many overlook the most basic health principles. Naturopathic Medicine teaches that addressing the foundations should be the first step towards achieving health goals before higher force interventions. While there are no one-size-fits-all remedies for being healthy, everyday choices can be made to improve overall wellbeing.
