In the world of functional health, we frequently find ourselves standing on the uncomfortable edge of pioneering thought and "proven" mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. Oftentimes we're working with tools that are a long ways from being accepted by conventional healthcare and it can feel like we're working in the wild west. And yet, there is a substantial and growing body of research that supports the functional approach. That said, our relationship with research and the latest science isn't always an easy one. Just like with mainstream medicine, it can take some time for new findings to make their way into the functional clinical practice.

In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, we have a nuanced conversation on this extremely important topic with Dr. Jordan Robertson, a Canadian Naturopathic Doctor and founder of The Confident Clinician, a practice resource and database for Naturopathic Doctors to help elevate their professional practice by offering clinical practice guidelines, patient resources, and ongoing training for health professionals in the functional space.

In this interview, we discuss:

• How to navigate new, innovative approaches that get exceptional results in practice but that don't yet have substantive evidence.

• When is it appropriate to lean on the research? And how do we continue to pioneer within that context?

• Bias - how do we detect our own, that of the researchers, and how do we navigate this in the context of making clinical decisions for our clients?

• How do we navigate the research itself - what is credible and what is not?

• How and when should we change clinical practice based on new evidence? How much new evidence is necessary before we change our ways?

Speaker bio:

I can't think of anyone more qualified to have this conversation with. Not only is Dr. Robertson is the founder of The Confident Clinician, she is also the founder of Clarity Health, a Naturopathic Clinic in Ontario, Canada that has served over 20,000 patients, a podcast host with ambitions of making accurate women's health information accessible to all, the off-site ND for the Endometriosis Clinic at McMaster hospital and instructor for the undergraduate Health Sciences program. And perhaps most importantly, Dr. Robertson is a fierce advocate for evidence-based approaches in functional health.

Dr. Jordan is changing the way Naturopathic Doctors practice and integrate in medicine, with the Confident Clinician currently supporting over 600 NDs in North America and worldwide. She could see all of the problems in her industry that were holding practitioners back and built the program to solve them.

In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, we talk with Maggie Berghoff, leader in wellness entrepreneurship and a national bestselling author. Maggie shares her personal journey from a nurse practitioner to a successful entrepreneur, emphasizing a simplified approach to building a thriving business without the need for full automation or extensive resources.

In this interview, we discuss:

• Designing effective application forms to help identify ideal clients

• Structuring discovery and sales calls to transition into paid sessions/programs
