About the Podcast

What's YOUR Medicine?
with Dr. Joshua Levitt
These days, when most people think about “medicine”, they think of doctors, surgeons, hospitals, pharmacies, and prescriptions. This might surprise you, but as a naturopathic doctor…I actually agree. Drugs and surgery ARE medicine for sure. But, medicine CAN and SHOULD be much much more than that. Food is medicine. Herbs are medicine. Movement is medicine. Prayer is medicine. Art, music, storytelling… there really is medicine everywhere…if you open yourself up to finding it.
On this show, I’ll be talking to experts in every one of those areas: the physicians, the surgeons, the scientists…but also the artists, the dreamers, and the healers. I’ll be talking to them about their medicine…with the goal of helping you find yours.
