I am Brittany Lindsay, currently a second-year student pursuing a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree at Sonoran University of Health Sciences. While my academic journey may not be adorned with accolades and awards, my dedication to the field of natural medicine is unwavering.
talie has wanted to be a doctor ever since she was a little girl, and her life’s journey has kept her on this path ever since. Natalie was introduced to medicine at the young age of 8, when she began suffering from a chronic genetic disorder. Because of her mother’s own 40-year health journey that ultimately led her to holistic medicine, Natalie was able to be treated with natural means and it is the reason she is healthy enough to be in medical school today. After her experience, she knew she could not be a mainstream doctor whose Band-Aid style of medicine largely left patients unhealed. Instead, she decided to become a naturopathic doctor so she could get to the root cause of disease, treat the whole person, use nature to heal, and have relationships with her patients.
Lilli is a 3rd year medical student with a passion for mental wellness. Prior to medical school, she earned her Bachelor of Science at the University of Texas at Dallas where she double-majored in Neuroscience and Psychology. She has always been fascinated by human psychology and aimed to find alternative therapies for treating depression and anxiety. Along her journey, she discovered the power of nutrition, environmental factors, and spirituality and their role in mental health. While shadowing a homeopathic doctor in Texas, Lilli was inspired by the compassion and sincerity of the doctor for truly listening to each patient and treating the root cause. There, she was introduced to the world of naturopathic medicine. After learning about the six principles of naturopathic medicine, Lilli realized it aligned perfectly with her values and passion for helping others.
