EP. 102 - Dr. Mark Sherwood | From SWAT Team to Naturopath: Is Nature the Most Powerful Medicine of All?
This episode of ALLSMITH invites you into a conversation that feels more like a mission. Dr. Mark Sherwood spent 24 years serving on the Tulsa Police Department, including a decade on the SWAT Team, before trading tactical weapons for nature’s medicine. Today, as a naturopathic doctor, author, and speaker, Dr. Sherwood helps people discover true healing through functional medicine, nutrition, fitness, and faith.
Together, we dive into what it means to battle not only crime on the streets but also sickness in the body. We explore the controversial question: is nature the most powerful medicine of all?
