    #239 Friendship as Medicine: Making Friends, Losing Friends & Finding Your People

    Friendship might not come in a supplement bottle, but we’d argue it’s one of the most important forms of medicine we have.  So this week, we’re doing something a little different. We’re talking about friendship - how our experiences of it have shaped us, why making and keeping friends can feel VERY different as an adult, what happens when you outgrow a friendship, and why sometimes losing a friend can hurt every bit as much as a romantic breakup. We also share some very personal stories from our own friendship histories — from moving 22 times and never quite feeling like you belonged anywhere, to lifelong friendships, spectacularly painful friendship breakups, misunderstandings, vulnerability, learning to let people really know you… and the slightly terrifying act of making new friends as a grown-up. So grab a cuppa, settle in for a chat with us… and when you’re finished, go call your bestie. ❤️ FIND NAT BELOW: Website - https://nataliekdouglas.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/natalie.k.douglas Book a Free Assessment Call - https://NatalieKDouglas.as.me/?appointmentType=50255874 EndoNourish - Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Guide - https://nataliekdouglas.com/endonourish-holistic-endometriosis-adenomyoisis-care-guide/ SacredSeeds - Preconception Care Guide https://nataliekdouglas.com/preconception-care-guide/ PCOS Wellness Guide https://nataliekdouglas.com/pcos-holistic-guide/ Thyroid Rescue - Self guided program https://nataliekdouglas.com/thyroid-rescue/ Coming Off The Pill/IUD Holistic Guide https://nataliekdouglas.com/coming-off-the-pill-mini-course/ PMS/PMDD Natural Solutons Masterclass https://nataliekdouglas.com/pms-pmdd-natural-solutions-masterclass/ Restore and Nourish Gut Reset - https://nataliekdouglas.com/restore-nourish-gut-reset/ Perimenopause Masterclass - https://nataliekdouglas.com/perimenopause-masterclass-holistic-toolkit/ Become a one-to-one client https://nataliekdouglas.com/1-1-naturopathic-nutrition-consultations/ FIND AMIE BELOW: Book a Free Assessment Call: https://p.bttr.to/3yBdmu3    Book Yourself In: https://l.bttr.to/ZDxWO Website - https://whatthenaturopathsaid.com    Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thatnaturopath Join the mailing list - https://elysium-clinic-of-natural-medicine.ck.page/69663ce14a   PS: yes we are practitioners, but we’re not YOUR practitioners - it should go without saying but our episodes are not medical advice.

    #238 Naturopathic Myths We Need to Clear Up: Supplements, Testing, Cost & Pharmaceuticals

    There are a LOT of assumptions floating around about what it’s actually like to work with a naturopath: It’s going to cost me a fortuneI'll walk away taking 47 supplementsThey’re going to make me overhaul my entire lifeI’ll need thousands of dollars worth of functional testingAnd surely naturopaths are anti-pharmaceuticals… right?Well… not quite! In this episode, we’re tackling some of the most common fears, objections and misconceptions we hear about naturopathic care — and explaining what good, strategic naturopathy should actually look like.

    #237 GLP-1s Part 2: How To Protect Your Health, Muscle & Results

    So, you’ve decided to use a GLP-1… now what?  In Part 2 of our conversation around GLP-1s, we’re getting practical: how can you support your body while you’re taking them — and set yourself up for life after them? Because losing weight is one thing. Losing a whole lot of muscle, running yourself into nutrient deficiencies, upsetting your gut and then watching the weight pile back on afterwards? Not exactly the dream. This isn’t an anti-GLP-1 episode — and it’s certainly not a “just take the medication and forget about everything else” episode either. It’s about making an informed choice and, if GLP-1s are part of your plan, we want you using every tool available to protect your long-term health and make the results actually stick.

    #236 GLP-1s: Miracle Drug or Metabolic Disaster? Our Naturopathic Take — Part 1

    Ozempic. Wegovy. Mounjaro. GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now — and depending on which corner of the internet you land in, they’re either being hailed as revolutionary or treated like the worst thing you could possibly do for your health. As usual, we think the truth is a little more nuanced. In Part 1 of this two-part series, we’re taking a proper look at GLP-1 medications: what they actually do in the body, why they can be so effective for weight loss and metabolic health, what the research is showing so far, and the risks and side effects that deserve a seat at the table too. Most importantly, this isn't an episode about telling you whether you should or shouldn't take a GLP-1. Grab a cuppa. This is a juicy one.

And frankly? We think they deserve better PR. So whether you’re looking to support your health without blowing the budget, you’re just beginning your health journey, or you need a little reminder to come back to the fundamentals — this episode is for you.

    #234 Trying for a Baby After 40? Here's What We'd Do First

    Thinking about having a baby—especially in your late 30s or 40s? In this episode, we're sharing the exact conversations we've been having with our fertility patients over and over again... the kind that leave us wishing we had a megaphone! So we decided to turn that megaphone into a podcast episode. From tracking ovulation properly (hint: it's not just about Day 21 blood tests) to checking thyroid function, supporting progesterone, investigating gut health, assessing the vaginal microbiome, reducing inflammation, and—please don't forget this one—testing the male partner, we're covering the foundations that can make a real difference before conception. Whether you're 28, 38 or 43, these are the steps we'd want our closest friends and family to know before trying for a baby; and whether you're trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or simply want to understand how to give yourself the best possible chance of a healthy pregnancy, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-informed advice you can start acting on today.

    #233 Jet lag? Never Heard of Her! (Here's What WE Do To Feel Fresh After a Long Flight)

    Long-haul flights don't have to leave you feeling like you've been hit by a bus. In this episode, we're sharing the exact strategies we use ourselves—and recommend to our clients—to minimise jet lag, reset your body clock quickly, and arrive feeling surprisingly human (even after crossing multiple time zones). From melatonin timing and sunlight exposure to meal timing, coffee naps, blue light blockers and even our slightly questionable airport fashion choices... we're covering the simple science-backed habits that make a huge difference. Whether you're heading overseas for a holiday, travelling for work, or planning the trip of a lifetime, these are the practical tips we genuinely rely on whenever we fly.

    #232 How To Check A Home For Mould Before You Rent Or Buy

    You’ve found the perfect house. Great location. Gorgeous kitchen. Plenty of natural light. But is there mould hiding behind the walls? 😬 In this episode, we’re sharing 5 practical things you can do when inspecting a home to help identify potential water damage, moisture and mould problems — before you sign a lease or buy the place. Amie is a certified mould testing technician and, after inspecting more properties than any human should reasonably have to endure, she’s downloaded some of her mould-detecting brain into this episode. We’re talking drive-by red flags, flood history, moisture meters, sneaky Swiffer cloth samples, chatting to the neighbours and why sometimes you need to channel your inner CIA agent at an open home. Whether you're renting, buying or simply wondering if your current home might be contributing to your symptoms, this episode will help you start looking at buildings very differently. Because once you know the signs of water damage… you really can’t unsee them. And as we always say: you can’t heal in an unhealthy environment. 🎧 Listen now — and please, spread the mould awareness.
