As you may know, it’s Naturopathic Medicine Week. In honor of this, Nutrafol has decided to celebrate some of our brilliant medical minds!
Here’s a Q&A with one of our resident Naturopathic Doctors, Dr. Melissa Anzelone. Melissa earned a biology degree from King’s College and a doctorate degree in Naturopathic medicine from the University of Bridgeport. In the six years Melissa has been in the Naturopathic medicine field, she’s exemplified her passion by helping patients balance their bodies & lives through gentle, therapeutic methods.
But enough from us – check out Melissa’s Q&A about being a Naturopathic Doctor, what makes Naturopathic medicine different, and the best methods to ensure your experience with Nutrafol is a successful one!
Nutrafol: First things first, Dr. Melissa, what IS a Naturopath?
Dr. Melissa: Great question! A Naturopathic Doctor is a medical professional trained in natural and integrative therapies. Think of it as combining the wisdom of nature with modern science. Steeped in traditional healing methods and principles, Naturopathic Doctors focus on holistic and proactive disease prevention. By using protocols that minimize the risk of harm, Naturopathic Doctors help facilitate the body’s inherent ability to restore and maintain optimal health. Most importantly, Naturopathic Doctors serve to identify and remove barriers to good health by helping to create an environment that is healing internally and externally.
