German New Medicine: Exploring the Mind-Body Connection Behind Symptoms with Dr. Katherine Willow
What if our physical symptoms could be influenced not only by what’s happening in the body, but also by what we’ve experienced emotionally?
In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson sits down with Dr. Katherine Willow, a fourth-generation naturopathic doctor with more than 40 years of experience, to explore German New Medicine and its perspective on the connection between emotional experiences, the brain, and physical symptoms.
Dr. Katherine shares what first drew her to German New Medicine, how it differs from other mind-body approaches, and how she has incorporated this framework into her naturopathic practice.
