Ancestral Medicine and Medical Education in Practice

What happens when naturopathic medical education leaves no room for your culture?

Dr. Paris Grady and I sat down to talk about something that doesn't get discussed enough — the disconnect many practitioners of color experience in accredited naturopathic schools, and the deep work of coming back to yourself during school and after graduation.

We dive into:

→ Why ancestral medicine is incomplete without its spiritual context

→ How colonial frameworks "other" communities of color even in the classroom

→ What it really means to see yourself in your work

"If you do not see yourself in the work, you are always a background character." — Naim Akbar

This conversation is for healers who know their medicine runs deeper than a textbook and powerpoint lecture.
