Episode 165
Are you in recovery from addiction? Have you been looking for a different approach?
My guest on episode 165 is the lovely and intelligent Dr. Dawn Bantel, a naturopathic physician with an innovative approach to the recovery process you do not want to miss.
Dr. Dawn uses her years of specialization in eating disorder and addiction recovery to effectively treat her patients for underlying mental health issues and trauma. Integrative medicine takes all aspects of a person into account when treating them, which gives a better idea of their overall health and what kind of treatment they need. Dr. Dawn also talks about the connection between physiology and the brain and explains how all systems of the body can affect each other. When the recovery methods you’ve been trying are not working for you, an integrative approach can make a difference.
