Ep 42. If You Prescribe Weight Loss, You Need Disordered Eating Literacy

2026-06-2345:00

If you prescribe weight loss, talk about metabolic health, prescribe elimination diets, support clients on GLP-1s, or use practitioner-only weight-loss programs, you need disordered eating literacy. In this episode Casey unpacks five things natural health practitioners need to know about disordered eating when weight loss is part of their clinical work. We talk about why you can’t assess health by body size, why “they asked for weight loss” is not the same as informed consent, why a shrinking...

Ep 39. Hard Conversations in Naturopathy: Do No Harm in a Weight-Obsessed Culture

2025-10-2353:58

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...

Ep 38. When “Metabolic Balance” Isn’t Balance: Diet Culture, Clinical Protocols, and the Naturopathic Dilemma

I’m unpacking how “personalised” protocols like Metabolic Balance slip diet culture into naturopathic care.
