The Precision Health Podcast with Dr Luke Iggulden

You already know that what you put in your body matters. What you deserve is a naturopath podcast that respects that.

The Precision Health Podcast is the evidence-based natural medicine podcast Australia has been missing.

Created By Dr Luke Iggulden, ND, a medical herbalist, naturopath, pharmacognosist, and founder of Precision Natural Medicine in Queensland, and Sharee Rickert, ND medical herbalist and naturopath and practice manager at Precision Natural Medicine, this is clinical-grade insight into herbal medicine, integrative health, and the science of living well, delivered without compromise and without the wellness noise.

They bring what no wellness influencer can: active clinical practice, specialist training in pharmacognosy and botanical medicine, and a commitment to saying only what the evidence supports.

Every episode is built on primary research and real patient experience, covering herbal medicine and phytotherapy, nutritional medicine, gut health, hormone health, metabolic health, healthy ageing and longevity, biohacking and performance optimisation, sleep, stress, HPA axis function, and the deep science of medicinal plants from ethnobotanical tradition to modern clinical application.

This is the Australian naturopath podcast for people who are done with surface-level health content. For people who want to understand mechanism, not just outcome. For people managing a chronic condition, pursuing peak performance, or simply committed to ageing with function and vitality on their own terms.

If you have been looking for an evidence-based herbal medicine podcast hosted by a practising Australian naturopath and integrative medicine clinician, this is it. No trends. No shortcuts. Just precision.

  • Weight-loss Foundations | Metabolic Masters
    Mar 19 2026

    You have probably already tried.

    Most people who find their way to this conversation have.

    ...The diets, the programmes, the personal trainers, the shakes. And somewhere along the way, a quiet but devastating conclusion started to form: that maybe you are just one of those people who cannot lose weight.

    You are not. You are one of the people who never got the right information.

    In this episode, we explore "Weight-loss Foundations" - A revolutionary way to address weight-loss by Dr Luke Iggulden, ND a medical herbalist, clinical naturopath, pharmacognosist and founder of Precision Natural Medicine. He lays out the biological case for why conventional weight loss advice fails the majority of people who follow it, and what a genuine clinical investigation into metabolic health actually looks like.

    This is the first episode in the Metabolic Masters series: a body of work dedicated to the people who are done accepting generic answers about their health.

  • Is Berberine Really Natures Ozempic? | Metabolic Masters
    Mar 20 2026

    The internet has decided berberine is Nature's Ozempic. In this episode, the hosts unpack Dr Luke Iggulden's research-led clinical analysis of that claim, and what they find is considerably more nuanced than the TikTok consensus.

    Dr Luke's blog pulls no punches. Ozempic works. Semaglutide is effective. But when you put the side effect profiles side by side and apply the foundational principle of medicine, first do no harm, the case for berberine as a first-line metabolic tool becomes hard to argue against.

    This episode traces the pharmacology of berberine from the ground up: its origins as a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid found in plants like Berberis vulgaris, Hydrastis canadensis, and Phellodendron amurense; its clinical use as a broad-spectrum GIT microbiome modulator; and its activation of AMPK, the master energy sensor of the cell, with downstream effects on insulin sensitivity, lipid oxidation, and glucose regulation that mirror Ozempic's GLP-1 pathway in all the ways that matter for most patients.

    The hosts also dig into one of the more fascinating pharmacokinetic observations in the blog: berberine's notoriously poor GIT absorption actually increases in obese individuals, meaning those who need it most absorb it best.

    The conclusion is not that pharmaceuticals have no place. It is that for the majority of patients seeking metabolic support, the risk-benefit analysis falls clearly on the side of the plant.
