<p>Hi! This is my first post here, so please bear with me :-) I am in the midst of changing careers. I would like to go into holistic medicine. I currently have two bachelors degrees, Marketing and Business Management, but I have decided that I want to do something more to help people live longer, healthier, happier lives. Where do I begin? Anybody??? I live in Michigan. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!</p>
<p>A good place to start, would be by contacting people who are practicing the type of medicine that you are interested in.</p>
<p>You can go in several directions - </p>
<p>an MD who does integrative medicine (several med schools have programs, Dr Andrew Weill teaches at one in AZ)</p>

<p>a naturopath </p>
<p><a href=“http://www.naturopathic.org/[/url]”>http://www.naturopathic.org/</a></p>
<p>a chiropractor- some schools are more holistic oriented than others - Life University in Atlanta is one that is more holistic</p>

<p>An osteopath (some osteopaths can prescribe just like MDs but also learn manipulation and can be more holistic than most MDs)</p>
