The Nuanced Naturopaths

Ep 11 | Attachment to Health Labels & Diagnoses: The Link to Shame, Guilt & Mental Health [Minisode]


Listen Later

Come see Julie's talk for VicHerbs next Thursday, all about Balinese herbal medicine! Including Jamu taste testing! Tickets available here, or cash-only tickets at the door. 22nd June at 7:30pm in North Fitzroy.

Inspired by a casual cafe chat pre-recording, Julie & Karinda dive into the potentially controversial topic of how we relate to labels when it comes to health (namely, diagnostic labels). Why do we attach to labels? Is it helpful, harmful or somewhere in between? And what does shame have to do with receiving a diagnosis? We cover it all in this minisode snippet of the Nuanced Naturopaths.

      The Nuanced Naturopaths Podcast is a friendly conversation between two friends, that’s 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 in a way that is 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!
