I used to tell my patients, don’t take that, because it’s just giving you expensive urine.ĭr David Brownstein: So I was practising medicine as I was taught. I went to medical school, did a family practise residency because I wanted to model myself after my family doctor and started practising conventional medicine. So I geared my undergraduate training to go to medical school. I figured I wanted to be a doctor to help people. Medicine, I thought always found interesting and mysterious. And I decided that I wanted to be a doctor as a little child, as I just found it fascinating too, you know. And so I saw my family doctor a little more than my sisters did. And I grew up with a severe case of asthma. We didn’t go to chiropractors or alternative health care providers. I grew up in what I would call a conventional, average household. I didn’t grow up in a holistic household. Can you just share with us a bit about your journey?ĭr David Brownstein: Well, I’m questioning why everyone isn’t into this as well. I mean, you are a world leader in holistic medicine, and I’m often intrigued why everybody isn’t practising this. Incredible! And you’ve lectured internationally. ĭr Ron Ehrlich: You’ve got many years of experience in holistic medicine. I hope you enjoy this conversation I had with Dr David Brownstein. So we will, of course, have links to that. He’s written 16 books, all of which are very accessible to patients. He’s lectured internationally to physicians and others about his success with using natural hormones and nutritional therapies in his practise. He’s one of the foremost practitioners of holistic medicine, I think, globally, and is the medical director of the Centre for Holistic Medicine in West Bloomfield, Michigan in the United States.

We are talking to a world leader in holistic medicine. Well, today we continue our journey into holistic medicine. Dr Ron Ehrlich: I’d like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I am recording this podcast, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation pay my respects to their Elders – past, present and emerging.
