In this Naturocrit Podcast Episode 017, also known as Season 2 Episode 7, I’ll cover a new 2026 study on the practices of Connecticut naturopaths which I have titled “A CSF Framework Evaluative Analysis of 107 Licensed Connecticut Naturopaths’ Practices in Relation to Science, Ethics, Commerce, and Freedom.”

The four main parts of this Episode are: the 2026 study’s Polished Report [017b], the 2026 study’s Final Report [017c], follow-up questions as a formal section [017d], and a rather long conclusion section [017e].
