I'm a naturopathic physician. Both of those required a four-year degree. I had to sit for board exams for both. In the chiropractic profession, there's multiple sets of board exams. They are... US and there's Canada board exams. I took the US board exams. I passed them. I got my license. I no longer carry my chiropractic license. I let that go in 2020. Why?

Because as a licensed naturopathic doctor in Oregon, I have a very broad scope. I'll get into the training around that in a minute. And I... didn't need the chiropractic license anymore. And oddly, this is the odd part. It was February 2020 when I let my chiropractic license go. I knew something was coming and I knew my voice would be needed.

And my dad was so mad at me for letting that license go. And he said, why would you do this? I said, dad, I can still adjust people. I can still do everything I can do with my chiropractic license under my ND license. I'm fine. And he didn't get it. And I get it. I mean, I get where he was coming from, but it's not like I couldn't just go take the board exam and go get it again. Right.

Um, I've taken all the credentialing schooling. I've sat for and passed all the board exams. I have everything I need. The point was, I didn't really feel like having two boards come at me and I knew my voice was going to be needed. And sure enough, a few weeks later, you know, the whole world changed and I used my voice. So if you were there, you saw it. My ND degree, that's a four year program.

Um, I'm not going to get into the whole we have more hours than medical doctors and this and that. I mean, I think that's a lost leader. We do entirely different things. So when it comes to naturopathic training, we have phenomenal nutrition training.

I'm not saying chiropractors can't go get advanced training and further training or other certifications, but their lane is musculoskeletal. And having gone through both programs concurrently, I can tell you that the chiropractors were terrible with lab diagnosis. They were terrible with systemic illness. And some of them were good because they focused on it.
