Naturopathic Physician
Background
From a young age Dr. Brody, or “Bob,” has always found an interest in natural medicine and the power of nature. Growing up he was heavily influenced by his father, who is a practicing Nutritionist. At the age of 16, Bob became an Eagle Scout. He is also a third-degree black belt in the traditional Japanese art of Aikido. After high school, Bob went on to pursue an Adventure Recreation degree from Green Mountain College. As a young adult, Bob worked as a teachers’ assistant in Essex Junction, VT. During this time, he witnessed many students taking prescription drugs and saw no improvements to their health. Working with these students inspired Dr. Brody to further pursue natural medicine and become the naturopathic physician he is today.
