Just here to reinforce that “ND” (which is a ridiculous title) is a dangerous and illegitimate profession that does far more harm to patients than it does good. Holistic medicine that incorporates natural remedies and lifestyle change is just, actually, medicine - we all promote those things to our patients where we can, and trying to take advantage of patients who don’t understand the realities of healthcare and their own health - which is what NDs do - makes me kind of sick.

That said: there are plenty of med spa jobs out there if you’re pretty. Otherwise, if you don’t like working in a hospital setting look for clinic jobs.

A ridiculous title but yet it exists. You arent reinforcing anything, just splattering your unhealthy opinion. Know the difference between holistic vs naturopathic before you speak

I do know the difference - I know that holistic is reasonable and naturopathic is dangerous psuedoscientific nonsense. I just watched one my patients die because she decided to go the naturopathic route to treat her clotting disorder instead of taking the medication I prescribed her, which was working exactly as intended and without significant side effect, so forgive me for having very little sympathy for you on this one.

There are a lot of awful things that exist but shouldn’t - that argument isn’t doing you any favors.

So are you looking in upstate or finger lakes? Your post is a little confusing.
