Today is a very interesting show. What I've done is I've pulled my functional vision integrative method practitioners. So these are doctors who wanted to ask me some questions and the theme is about what is the state of the Union of holistic health globally in 2025? So I'm going to take their questions one at a time and I hope you enjoy the show. Thanks for tuning in. The first question is from a naturopath who practices in Denmark and he's asking what is the state of holistic medicine and vision not only in the US but globally and the way I see it in 2025. We're in a really big power shift right now. People are tired of band-aid solutions. You know, a day doesn't go by when I get an email from somebody that says, you know, I'm really tired of symptom management care. People want to know what is the root cause of their condition and what can they do to heal their condition naturally? I would say the biggest aspect is people want to take responsibility for their health. know in the US we do call it health insurance, but I think we should call it disease insurance because all it's good for is things like if we have to go to the emergency room, if we, you know, get into a car accident, if there's some big traumatic event in our body, medical care works really well. But in terms of being proactive, it just isn't there. And in fact, so many people will share with me how invalidated they feel when they even bring up things like nutrition, supplements, herbs, essential oils. It's getting really tough out there for people to find a like-minded holistic doctor if they are themselves holistically minded. Question 2 is from a craniosacral therapist who lives in California and she's asking how do I fit into this holistic model of health not only in the US but globally? Well, I think there's a Renaissance and people looking for whole body therapy. I mean, if you look at just the holistic health industry, one of the things that I've observed Is that when practitioners now want to teach internationally, they really can't do it unless they either get a work permit or they have the country that is hosting them do some legal things to be able to invite them so that the government's now are on to holistic health and people who want to teach it internationally. And if you want to do that, You have to jump through a lot of hoops. remember 25, 30 years ago when I used to teach internationally.
