Wellbeing in Practice

In this special episode, Tanya Borowski, Head of Education at Amrita Nutrition, sits down with internationally respected master herbalist Kerry Bone for a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation about the evolving role of herbal medicine in modern clinical practice.

Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, research, and teaching, Kerry shares deep and thoughtful insights from his extensive clinical work and scientific exploration. Tanya's natural curiosity about herbal medicine makes for a warm, engaging and thought-provoking conversation.

Among the many highlights is their exploration of gastro-oesophageal reflux—is it truly a matter of excess acid, or could it stem from poor gastrointestinal motility, with acid simply appearing in the wrong place? They also dive into the remarkable world of bitter receptors, revealing surprising facts such as their presence throughout the entire body and their role in modulating everything from immune function to gut health.

Together, Tanya and Kerry discuss practical strategies, real-world experiences, and their perspectives on the future of herbal medicine—making this a rich and inspiring listen for anyone with an interest in herbs and natural health.

Join Tanya for an enlightening conversation with Dr Kristi Morlan-Hughes, a leading naturopath and functional medicine practitioner with over 25 years of experience in clinic and teaching others.

Together, they explore the foundations of naturopathic medicine, from the influence of Dr Jeffrey Bland—whom Dr Kristi has both learned from and taught alongside—to the transformative education offered by the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and AFMCP courses. 

Their discussion also delves into one of Dr Hughes' most passionate areas of expertise: the therapeutic importance of supporting the endothelial glycocalyx and enhancing nitric oxide production. They explore how this often-overlooked aspect of cardiovascular health forms a cornerstone of her clinical practice, and discuss the profound implications for client outcomes when these fundamental vascular functions are optimised through targeted naturopathic interventions.

Whether you're a practitioner or simply passionate about holistic health, this episode uncovers the power of personalised, functional approaches to wellbeing.
