Dr. Whitney Donohue: Treating the Individual Not the Disease
11/11/24 • 36 min
This week, Tee is thrilled to welcome Dr. Whitney Donohue, a naturopathic physician and applied kinesiologist, to discuss the importance of addressing the root causes of illnesses rather than merely medicating symptoms. Dr. Donohue, who earned her doctorate from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona, is the owner and lead physician at Quantum Body Optimization. She shares her personal journey from chronic pain to holistic healing, illustrating how naturopathic and lifestyle medicine can provide personalized treatment plans, reduce reliance on medications, and improve quality of life.
Additionally, Dr. Donohue explains the foundational elements of alternative care, including applied kinesiology, neuro-emotional technique (NET), and the triad of health approach, which considers physical, biochemical, and emotional factors. This conversation underscores the value of trusting in the body’s natural healing abilities, advocating for one’s own health, and embracing lifestyle changes. Practical tips for everyday wellness—like walking, staying hydrated, and reducing environmental toxins—are also shared.
