My name is Dr. Kristina Greengard, and I am a Naturopathic Medical Doctor. During my years in private practice, I often found myself spending significant time explaining basic health concepts and lab results to patients so they could fully understand their diagnoses. It saddened me to realize how many people lacked a foundational understanding of their own health. Unlike conventional doctors who work within the time constraints of insurance companies, I operate as a cash-pay doctor, allowing me to spend up to two hours with each patient, if needed. I always made sure my patients fully understood their diagnosis and treatment options, but after explaining the same things over and over, I realized there was a real need for these courses to make health knowledge more accessible.
