Holistic Health Experts

We live in a world where education and information is abundant and quick to access. Nowadays, you can learn about any given subject within minutes, know more than the average person about that subject within days, and possibly become an expert within weeks.

With an abundance of information comes many opinions on the validity of that information. Some people will only trust certified health experts such as doctors, some people say that anything you read online is false, and some people (like me) question things they learn for a long time until they can safely believe it is true.

Many doctors and teachers don’t have all the answers, many influencers and bloggers only have opinions. But one thing is sure; without the information, you have nowhere to start. Your intuition about what is good or bad for you personally has no footing without the information to begin with. Therefore, it is my duty to share everything I know as well as share with my audience the resources where I have learned it.

Audio/Podcast version:

This is the first in a 3-part series of articles where I will share with you authors, doctors, influencers, bloggers, teachers, gurus, websites, and experts that has helped me in my quest for holistic health education. In this first article, I will cover doctors and websites ran by professionals in the health field. In the next two, I will cover spiritual leaders and general self-improvement experts.

This list is most likely missing a few that I have forgotten over the years, but the most consistent ones are all here. These are the very best of the holistic health resources I have come across over the last 10-15 years.
