Natural and Paleo don't necessarily get organized together. There are a LOT of natural healing protocols that are vegan, raw vegan, vegetarian, Michael Pollan-esque, zero carb, low carb, etc.

What is it you really want to learn? There are plenty of programs that offer certificates in natural healing, holistic lifestyles, nutrition etc. You don't have to go to medical school to learn!

One thought - if you live in a state that permits Naturopathic physicians, you might ask a few physicians there for their reading list. If you can't find an ND, look up natural healers in your area and see what their credentials are.

And you can always look on Amazon to see what the trending topics on health & wellness that interest you.

I've always been interested in Home Remedies, and lately I heard about a book at my yoga studio, that I ended up buying and I'm now reading through it. It's called "The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies" by Vasant Lad. I wouldn't say it's a beginners book though, unless you have some background or interest in eastern medicine, but it's very interesting to learn about disease from a different perspective!

I also have a book on Nutritional Healing, it's a huge book, more of an encyclopedia! It's called "Prescription for Nutritional Healing".

You may also have luck just looking around online for specific topics and gathering your own 'book' of knowledge over time!

What about a program like what this school has to offer? Is less medicine focused and more healing focused.
