Today (recorded in the studio-van!), we explore the common issues faced when oversimplifying complex health problems, particularly in the context of naturopathy (using SIBO and PCOS as some examples!). We discuss how patients often seek simple answers to complex conditions, which can lead to inadequate treatment and persistent health issues. The heart of naturopathy and how WE practice, will always come back to personalised care, addressing root causes, and how sometimes the simplest interventions, like chewing food properly or using a Squatty Potty, can have the greatest impact. We also cover the pitfalls of relying on the internet for health advice and the distinction between protocols and programs/packages.~

The Nuanced Naturopaths Podcast is a friendly conversation between two friends, us! Karinda and Julie. We’re passionate about finding the nuance in natural health. As degree-qualified naturopaths, we like to ask the questions that need to be asked - about all aspects of health, healing and well-being. We delight in questioning firmly held beliefs and finding the nuance in all subjects health-related and beyond. Sometimes it can get a little technical, but hopefully we explain things in a way that's accessible to anyone interested in natural health, whether you’re a practitioner or someone who wants to learn more and optimise your wellbeing. It’s a chat about poop, periods and everything in between - buckle up for a laugh, a cry and for some things you are yet to consider about your health! Stay nuanced!
