Feeling buried in admin when all you want is to focus on your patients?

You’re not alone. The naturopathic profession has long struggled with burnout as practitioners juggle clinical work, business management, marketing, and ongoing education—often single-handedly.

In this groundbreaking conversation, Amy Skilton and business mentor Tammy Guest explore how artificial intelligence is creating unprecedented opportunities for naturopaths to reclaim their time, amplify their unique gifts, and ultimately become more human in their practice. Beyond the fear-based headlines, AI offers practical solutions to longstanding challenges in our profession.

Discover how practitioners are using AI to transcribe and summarise consultations, freeing them to be fully present with patients. Learn how research that once took hours can now be completed in minutes, with practitioners maintaining discernment while AI handles the heavy lifting. For those who struggle with marketing and content creation, hear real-world examples of practitioners finally launching the courses and programs they’ve dreamed of—all thanks to accessible AI tools.

Perhaps most compelling is the recognition that our predominantly female profession has a unique opportunity to influence AI’s development. With 70% of current AI users identifying as male, naturopaths can bring a holistic, patient-centred perspective to ensure this technology reflects the values we hold dear.

Whether you’re tech-savvy or tech-phobic, this episode offers practical starting points and free resources to help you explore how AI might enhance your practice. The world needs the special gifts that only you have—don’t let them remain hidden because you’re weighed down by tasks that AI could handle with ease.

Could fertility struggles be your body’s way of asking for deeper healing?

For many couples, difficulties conceiving are the first signal that something more foundational in their health needs attention. In this eye-opening episode, holistic fertility expert Eli Huang shares how true preconception care goes far beyond hormones, drawing from her background in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), functional testing, and emotional healing to uncover the hidden factors behind infertility.

Eli’s journey from reluctant IT professional to passionate practitioner follows in the footsteps of her father’s 40+ year TCM career, creating a powerful lineage of integrative care. Her unique 90-day fertility program blends pulse and tongue diagnosis with modern pathology, personalised supplementation, and mindset work—helping couples address physical, emotional, and spiritual blocks to conception.

She shares why unresolved trauma, digestive dysfunction, sleep issues, and chronic stress can derail fertility, and how even negative beliefs can physiologically suppress reproductive function. Perhaps most striking is her insight into male fertility: around 80% of couples referred to IVF have male factor issues that are often overlooked, and potentially reversible with natural approaches.

Whether you’re actively trying to conceive, supporting patients through fertility challenges, or simply curious about the ripple effects of preconception health, this episode offers profound insights into how whole-person healing paves the way for healthier pregnancies—and generations.

Could one overlooked mineral be the missing link in cardiovascular care?

Magnesium might just be the most critical yet underutilised nutrient for heart health, according to naturopath and former heart failure nurse Gina Robertson. In this compelling episode, Gina draws on her years in cardiac wards and naturopathic practice to uncover magnesium’s profound impact on cardiovascular disease, particularly in conditions like hypertension, arrhythmias, and post-operative recovery.

From reversing life-threatening arrhythmias in seconds to halving rates of post-surgical atrial fibrillation, Gina shares powerful clinical examples and explains why standard blood tests miss magnesium deficiency in most patients. You'll learn how this essential mineral transforms stiff, non-compliant vessels into more elastic channels, reducing cardiac strain, and why stress may be one of the biggest drivers of magnesium depletion today.

We dive into the nuances of magnesium supplementation, including the best forms for specific conditions (think glycinate, orotate, citrate, glycerophosphate), practical dosing strategies, and when to consider topical applications. Gina also highlights complementary nutrients, key dietary considerations, and cautions around renal impairment.

Whether you're supporting patients or your own cardiovascular health, this episode offers evidence-based insights that challenge conventional care—and could shift the way you approach heart health forever.
