Natural Health

Natural health, as I use the term, means supporting the body's own capacity to adapt and repair — and making informed decisions rather than reflexive ones in either direction.

Dr. Anne-Marie's perspective

Natural does not mean anti-medical. Modern medicine is extraordinary at what it is designed for. The problem is that we often use an acute-care model to answer chronic, cumulative questions.

The useful question is rarely natural versus conventional. It is: what is my body adapting to, and what would make adapting easier?

What's worth understanding

Being informed matters more than belonging to a camp.
Cumulative habits outperform single interventions over a lifetime.
Anything promising one answer for everything deserves scepticism.
