New Hope Health with Dr. LeAnn Fritz, PhD

Many people eat socially (in the break room/ weddings/ funerals/ business meetings/ family gatherings) or by the clock (for example, eating lunch at noon because it’s “lunch time” even if you’re not hungry) rather than because they are truly physiologically hungry.  For this reason, it’s common to be out of touch with what true hunger […]

It seems like the general population often views naturopathy as inferior to traditional or conventional medicine.  Yet, most of those people probably don’t understand the benefits of using naturopathic principles. Mainstream medicine tends to pay a lot of attention to treating the physical symptoms of an illness without really getting to the root cause of […]

I am not afraid of epidemic illness.  I know what the media is saying.  I am aware of the CDC’s stance.  I understand the domino effect of major events being cancelled.  I am still NOT afraid.  Let’s unpack this issue together. First, I just want to say that for the most part, media is a […]
