A neurologist colleague of Dr. Wald’s says, “I have never seen anyone beat their disease so effectively and help so many people from such a strong, personal passion for natural health and life.” Dr. Wald has focused himself upon helping people reach levels of health they may never have thought possible. His evidenced-based mindset, combined with his caring attitude and desire to find natural solutions for his patients has made Dr. Wald one of the most sought after nutritionists in the United States and could be the most qualified.
Dr. Wald has published many successful books and hundreds of articles in the areas of longevity, disease prevention and treatment, diet and nutrition. A practicing clinician for 25 years and current Director of Longevity at Integrated Medicine of Mount Kisco, in Westchester, New York, Dr. Wald has been nicknamed "The Blood Detective" by a grateful patient for his keen ability to zero-in on health problems that many health practitioners, regardless of specialty, often miss. Having provided dietary, nutrition and longevity counseling to thousands of patients, Dr. Wald warns, “Dietary factors are the number one factor influencing our health and disease predilection. By incorporating careful consultation, specially designed health appraisal questionnaires, diagnostic intuitiveness and my Blood Detective technology I have helped hundreds of patients over my 25-year career. I am excited to help you get well naturally!”My chiropractic and nutritional training…did not include exposure to hospital-based disease care so I looked forward the experience of hospital rotations. Chiropractic students are required to work in a clinic treating entirely neuro-musculo-skeletal issues (and some nutrition).
I completedmedical rotations (not residency) in a variety of areas including, pediatrics, child psychology, adult psychiatry, radiology, cardiology, gastroenterology, internal medicine, psychiatry (similar to orthopedics) and other areas as required by my medical school program. I learned a lot about hospital-based medicine and how very different it was than to office-based medicine and nutrition practice. My experience with medical rotations convinced me to help people preventatively with nutrition and natural approaches whenever possible. The combination of these varied experiences helped make me what I believe I am today, namely; a doctor with a talent for “putting it all together”, helping people get well from a truly holistic and integrated perspective. The first two years of education in medical school I had already been exposed to in chiropractic school so they was essentially review for me; with one important difference – in chiropractic school most of the subjects also included natural methods of treatment. Medical school’s entire focus was on the diagnosis, what medications and/or therapies to use.
I learned a great deal of nutrition during my four-year equivalent chiropractic education. My nutritional school education was almost entirely didactic, book stuff mostly, with some small exposure to patients with “real world problems”. In medical school, I was perhaps was exposed to the equivalent of two or three hours of nutritional topics within other courses of study… really, that was it!. Sometimes people ask me, “Dr. Wald why didn’t you become a medical doctor…a real doctor?” My answer is simply this; “I did not become a medical doctor because my passion is health care and not disease care.
People also sometimes ask, “Dr. Wald, couldn’t you have completed your medical residency and still practiced holistic medicine?”* My answer is usually this, “Yes, I could have completed a residency, but that would have involved spending an average four years (full time) focusing on hospital based medicine. I want to study natural health care and continue to help patients right now…and that’s exactly what I am doing!” And you know, I think that four years of doing something you don't love and have passion for is not a smart decision. Allopathic medicine is not integrated/holistic health care - and I inspire to be the best natural health care provider that I can be."
