In 1978, when I found naturopathic medicine as a wide-eyed 18-year-old, I could never have imagined how this growing profession would shape and inspire my life. With a coherent, logical, and beautiful philosophy, naturopathic medicine gave me a livelihood, a clan, and an ongoing sense of purpose and connection, not to mention my spectacular husband, Paul Herscu, ND, MPH. We are both thrilled to be presenting at this year’s American Association of Naturopathic Physicians’ annual convention in Palm Springs in July. Colleagues and interested providers from allied professions, we hope you will join us there for some learning, some inspiration, and to celebrate the AANP 40th anniversary! #AANP2025 #naturopathic #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicdoctors #ILoveMyJob #thriver
