In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, the HOMeHOPe Faculty comes together for a roundtable conversation exploring the idea of "clinical kryptonite" — the client types, conditions, and scenarios that challenge even the most experienced practitioners. Through candid stories and diverse clinical perspectives, the faculty highlights how self-awareness, scope clarity, and collaborative care shape better outcomes for both practitioners and patients.

Join us as we delve into:

• Why certain conditions — such as cancer or severe mental health disorders — can feel overwhelming in clinical practice
• How practitioners recognize when a case requires referral, collaboration, or a different skill set
• The biochemical and systems-level foundations that make mental health cases uniquely complex
• The importance of boundaries, therapeutic rapport, and honesty in maintaining effective practitioner–client relationships

This episode is for you if:

• You're a clinician interested in understanding your own "clinical kryptonite"
• You've struggled with client non-compliance, scope limitations, or personality mismatches
• You want a deeper look at how HOMeHOPe practitioners use systems biology and metabolomics to support complex cases
• You're curious about how referral networks and inter-professional collaboration improve client outcomes
