The Nuanced Naturopaths

The all-round fabulous Rebecca Edwards from Activated Probiotics kicks off this interview with her favourite organ: the VAGINA! We delve into the vaginal microbiome, how this changes across the lifespan, during pregnancy & into menopause, and the success of a specific probiotic strain in treating common microbial imbalances, such as thrush. Rebecca walks us through some of the recent research...

Julie's back in Australia with a brand new recording studio, so we're back in your ears to share our life updates, naturopathic and quantum biology tidbits, first aid course shout-outs and most importantly (!!), the reveal of our upcoming membership, " Nuanced & Nourished " - JOIN THE WAITLIST!

You asked, we... tried to deliver! In this ep we're exploring skincare, makeup, deodorant, hair removal, pubic hair from a naturopathic, holistic perspective. We share our stories, what we use, ingredients we avoida, and how becoming naturopaths made us get-real (and low-tox) with our skin. We cover the physical risks of using conventional skincare & harsh ingredients, as well as the cultu...

We finally went there! This is the first instalment of our Glyphosate series (who knows how many there will be). Glyphosate is a part of RoundUp, a widely used herbicide. It also acts a broad-spectrum antibiotic. So what happens when human exposure to Glyphosate has increased more than 500% in 2 decades? How does this impact our health, soil quality, and the quality of the food we're eating? W...

Today, we respond to social media claims that vitamins haven’t been scientifically proven to exist in nature... A bold statement, and one that requires a nuanced approach to analyse. So we're on the case! Plus, are supplements natural or synthetic? Why do we take them? Do we need supplements at all? Join us as we dive down the supplements & vitamins rabbit hole, and try to answer ALL the q...

Yeah, you read the title right. We managed to talk about the nuance of FARTS for 45 minutes. Now, for real, name ONE other podcast that is gonna give you that kind of gold? In this Nat FAQs episode, we cover all things flatulence - what’s normal, what’s not, what to look out for, how to reduce excess gas, plus debunking health info about farts that YOU sent us on insta! Ghost poops even get a spec...

More insights into mitochondria! Yes, it’s complex and it’s going to take a few eps. In this ep we get to the juice on the simple ways we can improve our mitochondrial health. Did you know that all kinds of frequencies, light, sound and vibration impact how well our mitochondria function? Which is the best kind of light, what kinds of frequencies are unnatural and why should we try to avoid them?...

What can you do to improve your mitochondrial health and therefore, the health of every system of your body? Karinda and Julie take a deep dive into how the mitochondria are important for more than just energy production, how they interact with hormones, your immune function, sleep and circadian rhythm. How stress and lack of sunshine can impact them. But, this is only the introduction! More to co...

Julie takes most of the mic in this deep dive episode to shed some light (and nuance) on the unfairly named “Bali Belly”, more appropriately called Traveller’s Diarrhoea. Get to know what this phenomenon is all about, how it can impact your health in the long term, and most importantly, how you can support yourself while (and before!) you’ve got symptoms, so you can get onto enjoying your holiday....

A totally impromptu episode, which was originally going to be about something completely different! Classic us. But we're glad we went down this rabbit-hole as plant based milks are all the rave, with new ones coming onto the market & cafe scene constantly (it seems!). But it's not as simple as "it's from a plant, so it's good for you!". Plus, we cover a little bit ab...

We're back for 2024 and as you can see from the title, we're not gently easing back into things! We're here, we're nuanced and we're ready to talk about it ALL - including what's been happening in our own lives, our personal health journeys, and what's been lighting us up as naturopaths recently. We want to hear from you! Engage in the polls & ask us your questions...

Enjoy this hopefully NOT stressful, holistic discussion about stress. As we both find ourselves in activating times in our lives (and we know we're not alone!), we thought it's time for an episode about stress. Not only discussing how it works physiologically, but some of our favourite naturopath-approved ways to release & ease stress, and support our nervous systems. AS MENTIONED IN T...

A very casual ep, going over our unique and very different experiences wearing continuous glucose monitors (Freestyle Libre II). As always, we find ourselves exploring a few nitty-gritty rabbitholes within the overall topic of blood sugar. Enjoy, and ask your Qs below! Reach out to the Nuanced Naturopaths ⁠here⁠ !

Laura Taylor, Naturopath and self-confessed science-nerd, dives into the nuance of decoding iron metabolism. What most health professionals are taught in their degrees does not generally reflect the latest understandings of iron markers and what they represent. Ahead of her upcoming webinar ‘The Iron Code’, Laura has dived down ALL the rabbit-holes, and uses her natural talent for explaining the c...

This episode marks our first outdoor recording experience, with nature sounds delightfully interrupting the conversation. We chat to nature sound recordist & author, Andrew Skeoch, about ‘deep listening to nature’ (also the title of his fabulous new book) and how to do it. We talk about how listening to the sounds around us can connect us with the landscape, calm our mind and body, and remind...

Why should we care about heart health in our 20s and 30s? What’s the difference between salt and sodium? How do we pick up on blood sugar problems early? And how do we know if we’re properly hydrated? Mark's passion for health optimisation, longevity and cardiometabolic health is obvious in this episode & helps us answer these questions (plus much more). He discusses why we should be motiv...

Julie was up at 2am diving deep into a research paper on this... so you know it's gonna be juicy. We talk about intestinal hyper-permeability (IHP), aka "leaky gut", your intestinal wall (that's only one cell thick!) and how your microbiome contributes the the amount of oxygen in your gut... and how this oxygen might be contributing to your digestive symptoms (IBS, SIBO, gas, blo...

Nothing beats an accidental mini episode that was originally meant to be an intro for another ep. But as you know, we like to talk... and things can drag out a bit. So we packaged up this sweet little chat about blood sugar for you to easily digest. Enjoy! Reach out to the Nuanced Naturopaths ⁠here⁠ ! Send us your feedback, questions & episode requests.

Listen to Ep 17 to get the low-down on dairy if you haven't already. If you've tried a dairy elimination diet and found it didn't help your symptoms, it could be because of one of these foods lurking & wreaking havoc on your digestion & immunity. Always read the label!

Dairy isn’t what it used to be, there was a time when we consumed it fresh from the cow, raw and unpasteurised. Have you wondered about lactose intolerance, A2 versus A1 milk, and why so many people seem to have an issue with dairy? This episode covers all of these topics and more!

There's a common misunderstanding about what foods do & don't contain gluten and which foods are wheat-based. When doing a gluten or wheat elimination diet, knowing what's in your food is CRUCIAL for seeing if the food trigger is correct & getting to you a symptom-free state. Read those food labels, fam! Not mentioned in the episode, but important: Wheat extracts are also found...
