Life Is Your Best Medicine

First Steps on Your Medicine Road

Discover Your Medicine Road

Life is Your Best Medicine is an online course designed to change the way you look at your health. Dr. Low Dog has spent her career finding bridges between multigenerational wisdom and the science infused in her through her extensive education, and this course is her way of sharing what she has learned.

Life is Your Best Medicine is founded on the belief that your wellness is impacted by your medicine road: the food you eat, the company you keep, the thoughts you think, and your relationship with yourself.

Another source of inspiration is the indigenous belief in the medicine bear who, standing on two legs, brought medicine in the form of herbs, songs, prayers, and teachings to the people. Dr. Low Dog firmly believes medicine lies within each of us, and she offers her profound knowledge so you can use it to make yourself and your family healthier and more whole.

A Note from Tieraona

I am a physician who originally trained as an herbalist, midwife, massage therapist, and martial artist. I have been exposed to and deeply influenced by the wisdom of the grandmothers, midwives, and indigenous peoples of these lands. I have learned to gather, prepare and use the healing plants, ease the body’s pain with massage, help women bring their babies into the world, and tend to the sick. I have been at the bedside as life enters this world, and also as it leaves. I’ve sat quietly during ceremonies, taking in their mystery and wonder, witnessing the power of prayer and belief. I’ve watched as healers called upon the ancestors for strength and direction, assisted surgeons as they removed bullets and tumors, and transplanted organs, witnessed people near death in the intensive care unit walk out well a short time later, and just about everything in between.

All of these experiences, from the profoundly spiritual to the most medically advanced, have shaped my approach toward health and healing, and eventually led me to the field of integrative medicine—a discipline that melds effective natural healing methods, lifestyle, and medically proven treatments. It allows clinicians a broader way to think about the restoration of health and the prevention and management of disease.

For 15 years as Fellowship Director for the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine and the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine, I helped oversee the training of more than one thousand doctors and nurses in this common sense approach to health, healing and wholeness as Now I want to share my experience and knowledge with you, so that you feel comfortable with the “how, what, when and why” of using natural therapies.

If you want a deep dive into the world of natural and integrative medicine, I invite you to join me at Medicine Lodge Ranch.
