Welcome Back! After a very very long season 1 (that went on for 2 years and over 150 episodes) we decided to take a break over the summer before returning to recording.  This welcome-back episode focuses on the feelings of “new years” we often feel in the fall and how to start to think about your goals, your purpose, and your outcomes.  If you’ve ever felt disappointed by your outcome even though you tried really hard - this episode is for you.  If you’ve ever given up on a goal because you didn’t get the outcome you expected by a particular date - this episode is for you.  If you’ve ever even considered changing things about yourself - this episode is for you.  I also share my journey from a spiteful-counterculture naturopathic doctor (which is terrible to say that the counterculture in my profession was by being evidence-based at that time) towards a more compassionate and softer approach to sharing information with all of you to help you better understand your body and your health choices. I share my initial discomfort with what we all needed out of this podcast and how humanizing our health experience and behaviour change is really what we all need.  This episode gives us an amazing springboard to start our big conversations this season and I can’t wait to share them all with you.  If you’re a practitioner who supports people in menopause, you can now access the early bird pricing for my next course through The Confident Clinician happening Saturday, October 01 - Sunday, October 02, 2022. You can access the early bird pricing here. We will be covering bone health, cognitive health, mental health, and cardiovascular disease. We’ve limited the seats to 40 non-members.
