“One of my personal mantras every day is to try to bring love into the room,” shares Dr. Allison Becker, a pioneering naturopathic physician in Evansville, Wisconsin. Her approach centers on truly listening to her patients and being fully present to create a space of trust and connection that’s often missing in modern healthcare.   Dr. Becker’s practice is rooted in functional testing and personalized care, which addresses the root causes of health issues rather than following the quick, checklist-driven model that we often see in conventional medicine. She takes the time to get to know her patients to allow them to move through their health journeys at their own pace. Along the way, she emphasizes the need for setting boundaries and practicing non-attachment, understanding that each person’s path to healing is deeply individual.   Tune in to hear how Dr. Becker’s advocacy for naturopathic doctor licensure in Wisconsin is shaping the field and how her holistic approach to healthcare empowers patients on their path to healing.   Quotes “One of my personal mantras every day is to try to bring love into the room. And it’s really done through listening.” (10:47 | Dr. Allison Becker) “Medicine for me is a huge practice of faith and trust—that the people who are here are meant to be here, and that they are open, willing, and ready for a really big change.” (12:38 | Dr. Allison Becker)  “I think the art of medicine is really being able to meet your patient where they’re at and determine, even on the first visit, what works for them in terms of what’s going to resonate with them in terms of a treatment, but also, at what pace can we go?” (25:01 | Dr. Allison Becker)  “I feel like my job is to offer different options. Do we need to do more diagnostics? Can we try a therapeutic trial of something? If we do, what would that be? What can you afford? What can you work into your lifestyle? How many times a day can you take things? Are you able to exercise? Are you physically able to do these things? It’s really about meeting them where they’re at.” (25:50 | Dr. Allison Becker)  Links Catalyst Studio https://drlarasalyer.com/catalyst Booking a Brainstorming Session: https://drlarasalyer.as.me/discovery   Connect with Dr. Allison Becker: www.doctorallisonbecker.com   Connect with Lara:  Website: https://drlarasalyer.com The Catalyst Way: https://drlarasalyer.com/catalyst Instagram: @drlarasalyer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drlarasalyer Linked-In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlarasalyer/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DrLaraSalyer TikTok: @Creativity.Doctor     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
