The Nuanced Naturopaths episodes

  • Ep 54 | The Truth About Vitamin D | Taking Vitamin D versus Making Vitamin D | The Nuance of Sunlight, Vitamin D Functions, History & Testing

    In this episode, Julie and Karinda dive deep into the often misunderstood world of Vitamin D. From an in-depth discussion on its history, functions, and the difference between Vitamin D obtained via sunlight versus supplementation, this episode covers it all. They explore emerging research that reveals Vitamin D is more akin to a hormone than a vitamin and discuss the critical roles it plays in our bodies, such as regulating bone health, modulating the immune system, and even its potential anti-cancer benefits. The episode also delves into the importance of natural sunlight exposure, the insufficiency of vitamin D supplementation alone, and the surprising relationship between vitamin D and melatonin. Tune in for a comprehensive exploration that challenges common misconceptions and emphasizes the elegance of natural biochemical processes.

    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!

  • Ep 53 | The Problem with Protocols & Simplifying Treatments for Complex Health Issues | But Don't Knock Our 'Simple' Tips Til You Try Them!

    Today (recorded in the studio-van!), we explore the common issues faced when oversimplifying complex health problems, particularly in the context of naturopathy (using SIBO and PCOS as some examples!). We discuss how patients often seek simple answers to complex conditions, which can lead to inadequate treatment and persistent health issues. The heart of naturopathy and how WE practice, will always come back to personalised care, addressing root causes, and how sometimes the simplest interventions, like chewing food properly or using a Squatty Potty, can have the greatest impact. We also cover the pitfalls of relying on the internet for health advice and the distinction between protocols and programs/packages.~

  • Ep 52 | Vitamin B6, Ditch Your Vita-Gummies & Laughing at Probiotic Ads | Nutrition & Food as Medicine

    *NOTE: Huge audio-visual sync issue for most of this episode. Karinda's brain couldn't handle fixing it. Sorry, video watchers!

    In this light-hearted (but always informative!) episode, acknowledging we're more 'edu-comedy' than strictly education, we dive into the implications of over-supplementation, focusing primarily on vitamin B6 and its side effects, such as peripheral neuropathy. We cover the quality and sources of nutrients in the Australian diet, and the importance of proper supplementation guidance. They also touch on the efficacy and concerns surrounding gummy supplements (you might hate us), frozen vegetables (you might be surprised at our thoughts!), and the role of probiotics. Come laugh at silly marketing with us.

  • Ep 51 | Reacting to "Body Fluid & Functions" Talk in the Mushroom Lady Trial | Taboo Health Topics, Body Image, The Perfect Poop & more

    In this episode, we dive into the complexities of discussing taboo health topics like vomit, poop, and body image, thanks to inspiration from a podcast episode of Mushroom Case Daily by ABC, covering the Erin Patterson mushroom case. We reflect on societal judgments around weight loss surgery and the nuances of body image, and bring into focus how avoiding these conversations can lead to untreated chronic health issues. From detailing the perfect poop to discussing how health stigma affects well-being, join us for a lighter-than-usual but still insightful look at the nuances in naturopathy (and how 2 naturopaths naturally react to mainstream news!)~

  • Ep 50 | Understanding Lipedema: Symptoms, Causes, and Naturopathic Treatments | Lipedema vs. Lymphedema

    In this episode of the Nuanced Naturopaths, we explore the often misunderstood condition of lipedema. We discuss its symptoms, how it differs from lymphedema (which it's often confused with) and the importance of hormones, especially estrogen, in its development. We highlight the role of chronic inflammation, the unique characteristics of lipedema fat, and how it resists conventional weight loss methods. Plus, we delve into holistic, naturopathic treatments, including diet, herbal remedies, stress management, and the critical role of circadian rhythm (surprise, surprise!) in managing this condition.

  • Ep 48 | Mouth Taping Deep Dive | The Science, Why & How of Mouth Taping | Natural Remedies for Better Sleep

    *CORRECTION: At 18:59, we start talking about nasal "turbicles". We say this word a lot. We get excited, and even question if "turbicles" is the right word, before agreeing that it's the right word, and carrying on. Future editing Karinda realises we in fact meant to say "nasal turbinates" - not turbicles. Turbicles aren't a thing. You're cordially invited to laugh at our mistake. You can suss out what these look like and their function here

    IN THIS EP:

    We dive deep into the practice of mouth taping and its impressive benefits for sleep quality and overall health. We go through our personal experiences with mouth taping, different types of tapes, and address common concerns and misconceptions (we get it, it seems odd at first, or scary at most!). Let's explore the link between nasal breathing, nitric oxide production, and improved oxygenation and recovery, and how mouth taping can aid in reducing snoring and sleep apnea. As always, you'll get a mix of science, personal anecdotes, tidbits of advice and a good ole laugh.

    MOUTH TAPE WE USE:

    • Karinda uses this one
    • Julie uses this one
    • Maybe this one is more ideal for kids
    • We also recommend a petroleum-free, natural lip balm to apply before popping on your tape, so it's easier to remove in the morning. Be careful not to use too much

  • Ep 47 | Exploring Your SKIN Biome: Body Odour, Ear Wax & Why Mosquitos Are More Attracted To YOU!

    We delve into what the skin biome actually is (a whole community living on/in/around our skin!), how a child's microbiome is influenced by birth and breastfeeding. Plus, fascinating insights on how genes influence ear wax and body odor. We also cover how deodorants and antiperspirants can impact skin microbes and finally, why some people are more attractive to mosquitoes than others, linking it to skin microbe-induced kairomones.

  • Ep 46 | Deeper Dive into Paracetamol Side Effects | Getting to the Root Cause of Your Pain

    Join Karinda and Julie as they delve into the complexities and misconceptions surrounding the popular pain reliever paracetamol (acetaminophen). Responding to insights from Professor Kerry Bone, they discuss the potential side effects and risks associated with paracetamol, especially when used long-term. The conversation highlights the importance of questioning mainstream medical advice and considering holistic approaches to managing pain.

    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!
