What if the best thing that could happen to your career was being forced to start over?

In this episode of The ND Gap, Dr. Jordan Robertson sits down with Dr. Tamarah Chaddah to talk about the career pivot that changed everything. After the clinic she had worked at for years closed during the pandemic, she was faced with a choice: rebuild the same practice or create something completely different.

Together, they explore what it means to practice with intention, the power of mentorship and community, why envy can become inspiration, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can completely change the trajectory of your career.

This conversation is a reminder that you're often much closer to the career you want than you think; you may just be a few decisions away.

In this episode of The ND Gap, Dr. Jordan Robertson sits down with Dr. Carly King to talk about the decisions, challenges, and mindset shifts that have shaped her career, from building a thriving integrative practice to navigating high-risk pregnancy, kidney failure, a kidney transplant, and becoming one of the leading educators in perinatal care.

Together, they explore the importance of boundaries, evidence-based decision-making, collaboration with other healthcare professionals, and why some of the most meaningful career growth comes from embracing uncertainty rather than avoiding it.

This conversation is a reminder that success isn't about having all the answers. It's about continuing to grow, staying curious, and having the courage to move forward even before you feel ready.----

Dr. Carly King, ND, is a naturopathic doctor, educator, researcher, and international speaker with a clinical focus on fertility, pregnancy, postpartum care, and pediatrics. She is an adjunct professor at McMaster University and teaches for The Confident Clinician Club, where she is passionate about helping clinicians critically evaluate emerging research and translate evidence into practical, compassionate care. Carly's perspective extends beyond the clinic. Her own journey has included high-risk pregnancies complicated by kidney disease and preeclampsia, time spent in the ICU and NICU, parenting a child with a neonatal stroke, chronic kidney disease leading to kidney transplantation, divorce, single motherhood, and building a business through it all. Those experiences have profoundly shaped how she practices medicine, reinforcing the importance of combining scientific evidence with empathy, resilience, and patient-centred care. Whether she's teaching, speaking, or seeing patients, Carly is passionate about helping clinicians feel more confident in their clinical decision-making while recognizing that behind every diagnosis is a person navigating their own story.

In this episode of The ND Gap, Jordan Robertson sits down with Dr. Hannah Gordon, ND, Medical Director and leader within the Naturopathy Academy of Primary Care Physicians (NAPCP), to explore where naturopathic medicine fits in the future of primary care.

Together, they unpack why evidence-informed and evidence-based medicine shouldn't be viewed as opposing ideas, why collaboration will move the profession forward, and how naturopathic doctors can confidently take their place alongside other healthcare providers.

They also discuss therapeutic order, patient autonomy, public health, standards of care, expanding scope, and why building relationships across healthcare disciplines is essential if we want better outcomes for patients.

Whether you're a student, new graduate, or experienced clinician, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about what it means to practice modern naturopathic medicine.

How did you decide how long your patient appointments should be?

If the answer is "because that's what everyone else does," this episode is for you.

In this solo episode of The ND Gap, Jordan Robertson challenges one of the most overlooked decisions practitioners make: appointment length. But this conversation is about much more than your calendar. It's about building a practice intentionally instead of inheriting someone else's model.

Jordan explores why longer appointments often lead to better patient outcomes, stronger retention, fewer follow-up questions, and a more sustainable practice for both clinicians and patients. Along the way, she shares how changing one seemingly simple decision transformed the way she practiced medicine.

This episode also offers a preview of Path to Practice, the new program designed to help new graduates and early-career clinicians build practices with intention, confidence, and purpose instead of relying on trial and error.

Can you practice evidence-based medicine without losing the heart of naturopathic care?

In this episode of The ND Gap, Jordan sits down with Dr. Keila Roesner to explore what it really means to build a practice and a life that reflects your values. Together, they discuss intentional living, community-based care, women's health, raising a family while running a practice, and why evidence-based medicine doesn't have to come at the expense of compassion or connection.

Dr. Roesner shares how she's intentionally designed her home-based practice, why slowing down often leads to better care, and how understanding the person in front of you remains one of the most powerful tools in medicine. It's a conversation about choosing your own path, embracing your individuality as a clinician, and remembering why many of us chose naturopathic medicine in the first place.

In this episode of The ND Gap, Jordan sits down with Dr. Lauren Hungler-Peters to talk about one of the biggest barriers practitioners face: social media. Together, they unpack why consistency matters more than perfection, how to build trust before a patient ever books an appointment, and why your unique perspective matters even when everyone seems to be talking about the same topics. 

Lauren shares her journey from naturopathic practice to running a social media agency for healthcare professionals, along with practical advice on content creation, personal branding, authenticity, AI, and finding your voice online. They also explore the mindset challenges that keep clinicians stuck, from comparison and perfectionism to unrealistic expectations around growth. 

If you've ever thought, "I should be posting more," this episode is for you.

----

Lauren is a former naturopathic doctor turned founder of Healthy AF* Co. She spent 14 years in clinical practice before realizing the part she loved most wasn't the protocols. It was the strategy, the branding, the backend puzzle of making everything connect. Somewhere between patient care and launching her first landing page in 2014, the second career started writing itself. These days she runs a boutique marketing agency for NDs and wellness practitioners, where she speaks fluent practitioner and fluent content strategy. Helping them turn clinical brilliance into authority-driven content that actually converts, without the dancing, the trending audio, or the Canva chaos. She still thinks like a clinician. She just builds brands now instead of treatment plans. Lauren lives on an apple orchard in Ontario with her husband, two tiny humans, and a not-so-chill dog named Oscar.

In this episode of The ND Gap, Dr. Jordan Robertson sits down with Dr. Meagan McLaren, ND, to talk about mentorship, mindset, community, and the decisions that helped shape her first years in practice.

Meagan shares her journey from graduation into associateship, the value of surrounding herself with experienced clinicians, and why she intentionally sought out opportunities to learn in rooms where she wasn't the most experienced person. Together, they explore the impact of mentorship, the importance of choosing the right clinic environment, and how collaboration can accelerate growth far beyond what clinicians can achieve on their own.

This is a conversation about growth, leadership, and the power of putting yourself in spaces that challenge you to become the clinician you want to be.

In this episode of The ND Gap, Dr. Jordan Robertson breaks down the habits, behaviours, and mindset shifts required to embody the “busy practitioner” persona before your schedule is actually full.

She explores the gap between where clinicians are now and the version of themselves they say they want to become, and why waiting until you’re busy to create boundaries, systems, and structure is often the very thing keeping you stuck.

Jordan walks through the practical behaviours that busy clinicians adopt early: arriving prepared, ending visits on time, batching administrative work, delegating tasks, and maintaining strong boundaries around their schedule.

This episode is a conversation about identity, self-worth, and the subtle ways clinicians unintentionally repel growth by continuing to behave like they “have time.”
