We’re so proud when we see NUNM grads sharing their knowledge with the world! Dr. Brad Bongiovanni, 1997 naturopathic medicine grad, spoke at a TEDx Talk about the biologic power of social connection. His talk, “The Science of Installing Deep Well-Being,” presents love, purpose and connection as the three biggest risk factors to chronic disease, and discusses how we can influence each one throughout our daily lives.
