Britt Hermes is a former naturopath who left her profession, and now works actively with the science community to educate the public on the realities and failings of naturopathy. She earned her naturopathy 'degree' at Bastyr University in 2011 and went on to complete a one-year naturopathic “residency” at a private clinic in Seattle. After a few years of practising naturopathy in Arizona and around the US, she writes that she retired from her profession with a bang, and now lives in Germany, where she is currently a doctoral student at Kiel University.
