Ep 39 | Dr Michael Thomsen (PhD Naturopath) | The Past & Future of Naturopathy, Biomedicine & Naturopathy Working Together, Herbal Wisdom & much more
Today we were lucky enough to have a chat with Dr Michael Thomsen (PhD, Medical Herbalist and Naturopath). We talk about his study of naturopathy compared to our more recent experience of uni, his mentors in naturopathy, the union of biomedical healthcare with naturopathic healthcare and his journey for writing the very popular Phytotherapy Desk Reference. He is an experienced naturopath and herbalist with over 30 years experience, a PhD from Sydney University Medical School and a Master of Science from Graduate School of Integrative Medicine at Swinburne University. Michael has extensive industry experience as past technical manager of leading herbal medicine companies in Australia. He is the author of the popular Phytotherapy Desk Reference now in its fourth edition having sold 16,000 copies worldwide. The Phytotherapy Desk Reference is now also an online web application with additional features including herb-drug interactions.
At 41:33 we start talking about Michael’s book & app, the Phytotherapy Desk Reference, which we know is very popular with our colleagues and will be incredibly handy for our student listeners!

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!
