When you see Dr. So-and-so ND, go look up their bio. In my bio, I tell you I went to the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, which is now NUNM. It's the National University of Naturopathic Medicine. I tell you I went to Western States Chiropractic College, which is now the University of Western States. These are both accredited schools.

If someone says they're a traditional naturopath, 99% of the time that's fake. Now, there are some people in my profession that are real NDs that are licensed who call themselves traditional naturopaths because it is a nod to the old ways.

Most of us will be very forthcoming about what schools we went to. I had a moment there when I had a team working on the copy on my website and we didn't have the schools in my bio.
