Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · Why Smart People Are Ditching Their Doctor For A Naturopath | Razi Berry · 15 May 2026 podcast

And a naturopathic physician has the entire four years of really diving deep into the biochemistry of nutrition, drug-herb interactions.

For instance, like at Johns Hopkins Medical School, you get like three weeks of endocrinology, where at like Bastyr, you get 10 weeks of endocrinology.

There's just a little bit more of that didactic understanding and reasoning.

So functional medicine doctors are sort of like those doctors who they didn't go to naturopathic school, but they see that there's a better way.

And I call some of them my greatest friends.

And it's just a different, also functional medicine doesn't have the same philosophy of what's called the therapeutic order.

First, you find out what are the obstacles to cure, we call it.

Then you strengthen the body systems.

Then you look at physical medicine, maybe posture, sleep, movement, things like that.

Then you start looking at like herbs, homeopathy, other indigenous herbal medications, biochemical supplement.

protocols.

And then after that, only then do you look at maybe, you know, more like pharmaceutical drugs.

So there's a very specific step-by-step process that naturopathic doctors use.

And some functional medicine doctors do that and some don't.

Well, when you walk into the conventional medical doctor's office, you're probably going to be greeted by a medical assistant who's going to say, like, what are your top complaints?

And the doctor will come in and they'll ask you some questions, type on the computer.

They have a lot of paperwork they have to do to make sure they CYA, basically.

And then they'll...

decide like, okay, maybe we'll change this medication or add this medication.

There's not often a lot of actual physical exam palpation, looking at the tongue, looking at pulses, looking in the eyes, asking questions.
