Dr. Mark Sherwood shares his journey from law enforcement to naturopathic medicine, exploring how personalized wellness approaches yield better results than one-size-fits-all health trends. Together we examine popular wellness practices, distinguishing between beneficial protocols and potentially harmful fads while emphasizing the importance of balance over extremes.
• Dr. Mark's career transition from 20-year police veteran to naturopathic doctor after discovering the surprisingly short lifespan of law enforcement personnel
• Why intermittent fasting affects women differently than men, particularly during perimenopause when hormonal changes already stress the body
• How GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy) can be beneficial when used properly as "training wheels" rather than quick weight loss solutions
• The danger of focusing on weight loss rather than body composition, leading to muscle wasting and nutritional deficiencies
• Why vegan diets often lack essential nutrients like omega-3, complete proteins, iron and B12 despite being promoted as optimal
• The importance of "rhythm not robotic" living - finding non-negotiable health practices that still allow flexibility
• How genetic factors determine whether practices like cold plunges are beneficial or harmful for specific individuals
• Cautions about psychedelics and other brain-altering substances despite potential therapeutic applications
• The value of writing practice with the prompt: "What does my soul want me to know today?"
