The ND Gap

The Problem With Treating Colds and Flus


Listen Later

In this episode of The ND Gap, Dr. Jordan Robertson dives into one of the most common clinical presentations we see every year: colds and flus.

But this isn’t a basic immune protocol conversation.

Jordan unpacks how clinicians tend to overcomplicate immune support, where prevention and treatment often get blurred together, and why more supplements are not always the answer. She walks through how she approaches acute viral illness in practice, including dosing, timing, and managing patient expectations during cold and flu season.

This episode is about clinical clarity. It’s about understanding what actually moves the needle in acute care versus what simply adds noise, and it’s about refining your reasoning so that your protocols are intentional, not reactive.

If you want to feel more confident and streamlined in how you approach immune cases this season, this conversation offers a practical framework you can apply immediately.

Welcome back to The ND Gap, the podcast about the space between where naturopathic medicine is today and where it needs to go. Hosted by Dr. Jordan Robertson, founder of The Confident Clinician, this show is about legitimizing, strengthening, and ultimately saving 

Each week, The ND Gap will close the distance with four pillars:

  • Clinical insights grounded in evidence

  • Business strategies for sustainable practice

  • Personal leadership for growth and resilience

  • The voices of NDs who are reshaping what this profession can be

Whether you’re a brand-new graduate or a seasoned clinician, this is your space to find strategies you can use right away, inspiration from your peers, and a bigger vision for the future of naturopathic medicine.

Because if we want to secure the future of our profession, we can’t wait for it to happen; we have to build it together.
