When “wellness” programs promise balance but deliver restriction, naturopathy loses its way.
In this episode, I unpack how weight-loss prescriptions quietly betray the naturopathic oath of First, do no harm - and why speaking up about it isn’t an attack, it’s seeking accountability.
We’ll talk about the difference between professional critique and personal criticism, why discomfort doesn’t equal disrespect, and how avoiding hard conversations only protects the systems that keep clients harmed and practitioners silenced.
This one’s for the practitioners who care deeply about doing better: about integrity, reflection, and truly trauma-informed, evidence-based naturopathy.
If you’re a naturopath, herbalist, or nutritionist ready to do better - to make your care truly trauma-informed, body-inclusive, and ethical - this is for you.
