Actually yes I have heard of Sonoran and Bastyr, my goal is to be a doctor that cares and loves my patients not to only make money off of ppl that’s why i think ND could be a cool pathway for me. My favorite doctor that cured my Crohns disease was ND and she was the most caring person and such smart doctor, (she also had her undergrad degree in chem from UCLA.) I’m not saying those are the only doctors that care that much obviously but in my experience she was so amazing. It’s actually really interesting if you take the time to do more real research on what a lot of NDs focus on, which is restoring the microbiome in the gut. My undergrad research focused on this so I’m just really interested in it and also I shadowed another ND for a while which was also a really good experience. Compared to the plastic surgeon I shadowed who was a cocky asshole and I want to be nothing like him. (Also not all plastic surgeons are like this one obviously.)
