This week on The ND Gap, Jordan sits down with Dr. Laura Jasmin, ND, to explore what it really looks like to build a meaningful, impactful career in naturopathic medicine, especially when you don’t practice in a big city. Laura shares her journey of returning to her small hometown to open a practice, growing a referral-based clinic through community connection, and eventually expanding her impact far beyond the four walls of her office. Together, Jordan and Laura unpack how local relationships, evidence-based practice, and clinician community can shape not only individual careers but the profession as a whole. They also dive into Laura’s work in maternal and postpartum mental health, including the gaps she saw in care, why screening and support matter, and how clinicians can hold uncertainty with confidence, both with patients and with one another. ---- Welcome back to The ND Gap, the podcast about the space between where naturopathic medicine is today and where it needs to go.
