What actually makes someone a holistic doctor—and are holistic doctors “real” doctors? The better question is what they studied, what credentials they hold, what they are licensed to do, and where their scope ends. In this article, I break down the difference between MDs, DOs, holistic practitioners, and doctors of holistic medicine, and why understanding the words we use matters so much.

You need self-efficacy, integrity, curiosity, and the willingness to keep learning.
