But most importantly, Preventative medicine....
Naturopathic doctors practice preventative medicine, not as a means of treating a condition, but as a way of keeping it from happening in the first place, or preventing it from further progressing. Through a healthy diet, adequate exercise, stress management, and education, patients are encouraged to become proactive about their own health.
