What Is Minimalism In Medicine?

What Is Minimalism In Medicine? As a naturopathic doctor, I have always preferred a minimalist approach to treating disease.  Minimalism in medicine, can best be described by a guiding principle of naturopathic medicine which states—removing the obstacles to cure is the first step in the recovery process. Minimalism has become a central theme in my medical practice, and it is one of the guiding principles of naturopathic medicine that I learned as a medical student at NUNM.

Eat To Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, M.D: A Book Review

Learning About Dr. Joel Furhman's Diet When I was in medical school, I took a class on nutrition that required we read the book Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Furhman. Dr. Furhman is a family physician who specializes in treating obesity and chronic disease with diet alone.
