We are fortunate to have an abundance of healthcare services to choose from in New Zealand, however, this can also be confusing, especially when there are overlapping similarities between healthcare providers, e.g. what's the difference between at Naturopath and Integrative Medical Doctor, Holistic Nutritionist or Holistic Health Coach?  Individual practitioners within each profession have different types of core training and branch out into other skillsets according to their own passions, strengths and regulations.  The following 300 page e-book is a defining document for Naturopathy, covering its principles, practices, complexity, effectiveness, safety and research about the health benefits of the top 10 main Naturopathic modalities.  It was published in 2021 by leading Naturopathic researchers from Australia and Canada, Drs Iva Lloyd, Amie Steel & John Wardle, based on a compilation of research from the last 30 years of Naturopathic practice worldwide, including New Zealand.
