situation embarrassing conversation it's just part of a safety check we all do exactly check and and we do see this you know car seats smoke-free seat belts you know culture does change and absolutely change for the better you know as grandparents it's really interesting so when my it's when our grandparent our grandkids come to the house all of a sudden you know with this kind of the sixth sense kicks into gear

So this is an outtake, but you really should, you need to do a health chatter on gun violence, interrupters, the community programs. All right.

Barry, go ahead. Yeah, there are a lot of areas to go down. I'm just... Curious, because I remember that with chiropractic, one of the big things that allowed more access to that is health insurance. And that always seems to be a conundrum. I don't want to say, you know, money talks, nobody walks. But the reality is that if there isn't insurance coverage, it's going to be harder to access.

And also, Stan, I would say it's that it's oftentimes raping fans of naturopathic physicians is how, like you say, word of mouth is where that goes. But I'm just wondering what the climate is in Minnesota for insurance coverage.

Barry. So when I think of naturopathic medicine, I really think think of it mostly in terms of um a real emphasis on prevention with a lot of the things that you've talked about diet exercise meditation again getting to the root cause and in my past um And I really don't like the word alternative medicine because it sort of is like pitting, you know, one thing against another.

I actually like integrative medicine or complementary, but I think integrative is a stronger word because, you know, as a family physician, you still acute care oriented. You know, there's a symptom, let's get that better. You address these other issues like exercise and nutrition, things like that. But most of the expertise in, you know, regular Western medicine, it doesn't have that focus.

I mean, as family physicians, we know Something about that, but we generally don't have that time when we're working with patients to really get into those kind of things because I know that I think you've mentioned this is that it takes time. with these things.

You're not gonna see results from today to tomorrow with a number of, and it's not just naturopathic interventions because it's basic health interventions and that actually has a greater impact on illness and morbidity and mortality in the long term, but it's not sexy. as much as getting a $30,000 surgery or some kind of new medicine and treatment.

And so I guess my probing question here is what are some good ways for getting more of that integration approach in sort of our current community? Because you are based here in Minnesota. It sounds like the core of naturopathic physicians has been growing.

And it sounds like you have some connections into that idea of getting people to think about this as an integrative approach that could enhance the outcomes that we get. So it's a little loosey-goosey there in terms of my question, but I think you gathered the gist. And I'm thinking in terms of our listening audience for how to
