Katrina Bogdon Analysis

Katrina Bogdon, a naturopathic doctor, works at 2B Well in Springfield and specializes in oncology. She received her bachelor degree in physics and the continued her education by attending medical school at the National College of Natural Medicine. She claims that going through the pre-med track in undergraduate school with peers that all want to be medical doctors, she was actually not discouraged from the naturopathic route.

She says that exercise schedules greatly vary depending on the patient, but her general recommendation is 5 days a week for a minimum of 30 minutes. Patients should get 7-8.5 hours of sleep each night, and be in bed by 10pm because the body gets the best quality rest from 10pm-2am.

The waiver should include the procedure, the alternative (to not do it), risks (common side effects may include headaches, nausea, light headedness, mood changes, irritability, bowel changes, etc.), and contact info if any issues came
