After a few years off the mic, I’m back - with dirt under my nails, a herbal medicine apothecary by my side, and a renewed fire in my belly.

In this episode I share why I’ve renamed the podcast The Non-Diet Naturopath formerly Non-Diet Yogi), what’s changed (spoiler: a lot), and what remains the same (like my intolerance for wellness horse shit). I talk about leaving behind yoga spaces steeped in clean eating and labour extraction, the fallout I faced for standing by public health, and why naturopaths need better tools for supporting eating disorders, chronic dieting, and neurodivergence. 

We explore:

• What really happened at the ecovillage I used to call home
• The rise of culty thinking in natural health spaces
• The dangers of misinformation and why critical thinking matters now more than ever
• Why naturopaths need better tools to support clients with eating disorders and chronic dieting
• Building a different path forward, with more earth, honesty, and neuroaffirming care.

You'll also hear about my upcoming online course, Disordered Eating for Naturopaths, launching mid-2026. Sign up to the waitlist and receive a bonus when enrolments go live!

This is the start of a new chapter. Where herbs, fat affirmation, neurodivergence, and calling out crap all belong!
