Yes, I am fully aware that I have exposed my inner nerdiness by using the word noob.
Anyway. I had my first appointment with my ND. She was awesome! We had an hour and a half discussion about everything....starting from the first time I could remember having stomach problems to whether or not I am clairvoyant.
ND's tend to look at the body as a whole which includes past and present lifestyle, personality traits, habits, health history, dreams, nutrition....EVERYTHING that an MD overlooks when making diagnoses. ND's use various all natural treatments from different medical practices such as homeopathic medicine, chiropractic care, massage, accupuncture, hydrotherapy, etc.
So far I am happy with my first experience. It was actually a little therapeutic.
My first 2 assignments are to test my stomach acidity levels and keep a 7-day nutrition diary.
Next week I'm getting some pro-biotic pills and vitamins. I've never been into any supplements or vitamins before, mostly because I don't know which ones to take or which ones will actually do good, so I have a lot of hope I will see some kind of change.
