In this episode of the Nuanced Naturopaths, we explore the often misunderstood condition of lipedema. We discuss its symptoms, how it differs from lymphedema (which it's often confused with) and the importance of hormones, especially estrogen, in its development. We highlight the role of chronic inflammation, the unique characteristics of lipedema fat, and how it resists conventional weight loss methods. Plus, we delve into holistic, naturopathic treatments, including diet, herbal remedies, stress management, and the critical role of circadian rhythm (surprise, surprise!) in managing this condition.~MENTIONED IN THIS EP:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK573066/https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jpi.12965https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8583809/Lymph Love Club on Instagramhttps://lipedemaproject.org/lipedema-support-community/https://www.facebook.com/groups/1194013721968427/https://www.inspire.com/groups/the-lipedema-project/https://www.reddit.com/r/lipedema/~TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction01:17 Meet the Hosts: Karinda and Julie02:41 Episode Topic: Lipedema06:33 Understanding Lipedema: Symptoms and Diagnosis12:09 Comparing Lipedema and Lymphedema21:44 Pathophysiology of Lipedema36:01 Understanding LymphoScintigraphy37:26 Conventional Treatment Strategies for Lymphedema and Lipedema40:29 Complementary Medicine Approaches41:39 Anti-Inflammatory Diet and Nutritional Support45:51 Hormonal Influence on Lipedema55:37 Differences Between Lipedema Fat and Regular Fat01:04:04 Naturopathic Treatment Strategies for Lipedema01:08:51 Circadian Rhythm and Insulin Resistance01:16:06 Conclusion and Support Resources~Reach out to the Nuanced Naturopaths here!

*CORRECTION: At 18:59, we start talking about nasal "turbicles". We say this word a lot. We get excited, and even question if "turbicles" is the right word, before agreeing that it's the right word, and carrying on. Future editing Karinda realises we in fact meant to say "nasal turbinates" - not turbicles. Turbicles aren't a thing. You're cordially invited to laugh at our mistake. You can suss out what these look like and their function hereIN THIS EP:We dive deep into the practice of mouth taping and its impressive benefits for sleep quality and overall health. We go through our personal experiences with mouth taping, different types of tapes, and address common concerns and misconceptions (we get it, it seems odd at first, or scary at most!). Let's explore the link between nasal breathing, nitric oxide production, and improved oxygenation and recovery, and how mouth taping can aid in reducing snoring and sleep apnea.

We delve into what the skin biome actually is (a whole community living on/in/around our skin!), how a child's microbiome is influenced by birth and breastfeeding. Plus, fascinating insights on how genes influence ear wax and body odor. We also cover how deodorants and antiperspirants can impact skin microbes and finally, why some people are more attractive to mosquitoes than others, linking it to skin microbe-induced kairomones.~MENTIONED IN THIS EP:Overview of microbial species by nicheVisual of ear microbes!Did you know that antiperspirant or deodorant can significantly influence the microbes of your armpit?https://www.livescience.com/health/the-skin-microbiome-could-be-harnessed-as-mosquito-repellent-study-hintshttps://sci-hub.st/10.1016/j.cois.2017.03.011Study summary of the sweaty t-shirt experiments~Reach out to the Nuanced Naturopaths here!

One thing that drugs, supplements & herbal medicines have in common is that they can produce undesired outcomes, also known as side effects. But what are side effects, really? And why do they occur? We get knee-deep in nuance in this ep, also covering the recent Vitamin B6 toxicity controversy and a big (but often overlooked) problem with our nation's beloved Panadol (paracetamol). Welcome back!

In this episode we look at the nuance in the discussion around fat, and obesity and what it means in terms of health. You literally can't judge a book by its chunky cover, nor can you decide that a skinny ‘book' is healthy either. This episode reveals the tip of the iceberg in the discussion about body weight, fat gain, fat loss and what we, as a society, think about it. We uncover nuance in the terminology of the adipostat (body weight set point), obesogens, lipedema, the recent change to the food landscape and a holistic look at the meaning of health. **Correction: When talking about fatty liver Julie said ‘visceral fat within the liver' when meant to use the term ‘ectopic fat'. Further nuance: We open the can of worms that is excess body fat to examine the nuance around using body size to determine one's state of health. We are not saying that carrying excess body fat is innately healthy - but, nor is it always unhealthy! Nor is it a direct product of food and lifestyle choices, necessarily. Medical practitioners, gym instructors, and the general public often look at body weight as a ‘one size fits all' determinant of health and can unfairly apply judgement, or in some cases diagnoses, or other assumptions inappropriately. The resulting guilt and shame can be arguably more damaging than the cardiometabolic implications that excess fat sometimes carries. Equally, overlooking these risk factors in people of slimmer build can be dangerous, being thin or even athletic does not guarantee good overall health. This episode is only the tip of the iceberg in the discussion about body weight, fat gain, fat loss and what we, as a society, think about it. ~ Reach out to the Nuanced Naturopaths here!

It was a pleasure chatting with Daniel Ebbett, founder of Block Blue Light. As well as telling us about his personal health journey and what led him to delve into the world of blue light blocking, we discuss the importance of circadian rhythms & the impact of natural versus artificial light on our health. We explore why limiting blue light exposure at night is crucial for better sleep AND overall wellbeing, touch on the benefits of the red light therapy as a powerful tool for optimising our health & much more (as per usual).

The all-round fabulous Rebecca Edwards from Activated Probiotics kicks off this interview with her favourite organ: the VAGINA! We delve into the vaginal microbiome, how this changes across the lifespan, during pregnancy & into menopause, and the success of a specific probiotic strain in treating common microbial imbalances, such as thrush. Rebecca walks us through some of the recent research in the probiotic space (shoutout to the gut-bone axis) and why probiotics are such a joy to prescribe with confidence. We also meet the “keto bro” bacterium bad guys that are found in your oral microbiome and how they're linked to the development of dementias - truly fascinating stuff!

Please practice self-responsibility when listening to media that contain themes which could negatively impact your mental health or emotional balance. We discuss depression & childhood trauma in this episode. If you choose to listen, please ensure you have tools and resources at-the-ready to help regulate yourself. Helpful resources & links below. Karinda heard something about depression (and trauma) on Theo Von's “This Past Weekend” podcast interviewing Tim Fletcher, made a post about it, and Julie reacts in real-time to this perspective. As naturopaths, we're passionate about getting to the root of symptoms, so when we heard the idea of depression as a means of “slowing down” your nervous system, activating your rest-digest-restore healing mechanisms, we had to talk about it. Julie graciously reads out Karinda's caption, which includes some of her own history with nervous system dysregulation, trauma and depression.

You asked, we... tried to deliver! In this ep we're exploring skincare, makeup, deodorant, hair removal, pubic hair from a naturopathic, holistic perspective. We share our stories, what we use, ingredients we avoida, and how becoming naturopaths made us get-real (and low-tox) with our skin. We cover the physical risks of using conventional skincare & harsh ingredients, as well as the cultural narratives we're sold, to (literally) sell products, the environmental impact of modern skincare & how living in alignment with your values when it comes to skin is the most important point. Because yes, your skin is an organ & the first line of defence for your immune system, and yes, what you put on it matters!

We finally went there! This is the first instalment of our Glyphosate series (who knows how many there will be). Glyphosate is a part of RoundUp, a widely used herbicide. It also acts a broad-spectrum antibiotic. So what happens when human exposure to Glyphosate has increased more than 500% in 2 decades? How does this impact our health, soil quality, and the quality of the food we're eating? We start to cover these important points and more. In the next Glyphosate episode, we'll be sure to cover more on what you can do about your exposure, protecting yourself and your family, and feeling empowered in your health. Take some deep breaths during this one!

Today, we respond to social media claims that vitamins haven't been scientifically proven to exist in nature... A bold statement, and one that requires a nuanced approach to analyse. So we're on the case! Plus, are supplements natural or synthetic? Why do we take them? Do we need supplements at all? Join us as we dive down the supplements & vitamins rabbit hole, and try to answer ALL the questions! (Well, at least the important ones!).

Yeah, you read the title right. We managed to talk about the nuance of FARTS for 45 minutes. Now, for real, name ONE other podcast that is gonna give you that kind of gold? In this Nat FAQs episode, we cover all things flatulence - what's normal, what's not, what to look out for, how to reduce excess gas, plus debunking health info about farts that YOU sent us on insta! Ghost poops even get a special mention, and Karinda might have convinced Julie to look at more photos of poop?! This is the light n' easy episode you didn't even know you wanted! Enjoy
More insights into mitochondria! Yes, it's complex and it's going to take a few eps. In this ep we get to the juice on the simple ways we can improve our mitochondrial health. Did you know that all kinds of frequencies, light, sound and vibration impact how well our mitochondria function? Which is the best kind of light, what kinds of frequencies are unnatural and why should we try to avoid them? Did you know that hormone regulation happens first in our mitochondria? What can you do to help them? Tune in and find out!

What can you do to improve your mitochondrial health and therefore, the health of every system of your body? Karinda and Julie take a deep dive into how the mitochondria are important for more than just energy production, how they interact with hormones, your immune function, sleep and circadian rhythm. How stress and lack of sunshine can impact them. But, this is only the introduction! More to come in part 2. There's so much more to this important topic that not many health professionals are talking about. Come along for the ride as we try to explain some pretty complex processes in easy-to-understand terms (hopefully!), and some simple but effective tips that might have you asking ‘really, that's it?!'

Julie takes most of the mic in this deep dive episode to shed some light (and nuance) on the unfairly named “Bali Belly”, more appropriately called Traveller's Diarrhoea. Get to know what this phenomenon is all about, how it can impact your health in the long term, and most importantly, how you can support yourself while (and before!) you've got symptoms, so you can get onto enjoying your holiday.

A totally impromptu episode, which was originally going to be about something completely different! Classic us. But we're glad we went down this rabbithole as plant based milks are all the rave, with new ones coming onto the market & cafe scene constantly (it seems!). But it's not as simple as "it's from a plant, so it's good for you!". Plus, we cover a little bit about the microbiota & gut health... because... how could we not?

Enjoy this hopefully NOT stressful, holistic discussion about stress. As we both find ourselves in activating times in our lives (and we know we're not alone!), we thought it's time for an episode about stress.

Laura Taylor, Naturopath and self-confessed science-nerd, dives into the nuance of decoding iron metabolism. What most health professionals are taught in their degrees does not generally reflect the latest understandings of iron markers and what they represent. Ahead of her upcoming webinar ‘The Iron Code', Laura has dived down ALL the rabbit-holes, and uses her natural talent for explaining the complex in easily understood terms. Buckle in for a ride, and learn how to more accurately interpret what is going on with iron - it might challenge your understanding, but will almost certainly broaden it.

This episode marks our first outdoor recording experience, with nature sounds delightfully interrupting the conversation. We chat to nature sound recordist & author, Andrew Skeoch, about ‘deep listening to nature' (also the title of his fabulous new book) and how to do it. We talk about how listening to the sounds around us can connect us with the landscape, calm our mind and body, and remind us that we are animals after all. This discussion took us in many directions we didn't anticipate, but were delighted to land in nonetheless. We thoroughly enjoyed Andrew's knowledge coming through as he identifies various bird's chirping in. We hope you enjoy this rich, nuanced conversation immersed in nature.

Why should we care about heart health in our 20s and 30s? What's the difference between salt and sodium? How do we pick up on blood sugar problems early? And how do we know if we're properly hydrated? Mark's passion for health optimisation, longevity and cardiometabolic health is obvious in this episode & helps us answer these questions (plus much more). He discusses why we should be motivated about heart health well before we ‘need to', an easy all-round hydration protocol, and unpacks the nuance of insulin resistance. He talks about his current interest in the benefits of near-infrared saunas combined with low-pressure hypobaric therapy for increasing energy and improving cardiovascular health.

Julie was up at 2am diving deep into a research paper on this... so you know it's gonna be juicy. We talk about intestinal hyper-permeability (IHP), aka "leaky gut", your intestinal wall (that's only one cell thick!) and how your microbiome contributes the the amount of oxygen in your gut... and how this oxygen might be contributing to your digestive symptoms (IBS, SIBO, gas, bloating, reflux, etc).

Listen to Ep 17 to get the low-down on dairy if you haven't already. If you've tried a dairy elimination diet and found it didn't help your symptoms, it could be because of one of these foods lurking & wreaking havoc on your digestion & immunity. Always read the label!
Dairy isn't what it used to be, there was a time when we consumed it fresh from the cow, raw and unpasteurised. Have you wondered about lactose intolerance, A2 versus A1 milk, and why so many people seem to have an issue with dairy? This episode covers all of these topics and more!

There's a common misunderstanding about what foods do & don't contain gluten and which foods are wheat-based. When doing a gluten or wheat elimination diet, knowing what's in your food is CRUCIAL for seeing if the food trigger is correct & getting to you a symptom-free state. Read those food labels, fam! Not mentioned in the episode, but important: Wheat extracts are also found in a number of food additives – for example: Monosodium glutamate (MSG) – a widely used flavour enhancer Hydrolyzed vegetable protein – this provides a meaty, broth-like texture to canned soups and similar products Food starch Vegetable gum – this is a thickening agent Reach out to the Nuanced Naturopaths here!

The message I (Karinda) sent to Julie when proposing this episode, laying in bed at 11pm one night: "I'd love to do a low key, fun podcast about all the health ads that piss me/us off, and refute them from a naturopathic standpoint." I think that's enough background for this ep!

Book your tickets here! Or you can pay cash at the door & receive your student or NHAA member discounts. Julie's VicHerbs debut. With 2 trips to Bali this year already, Julie was fascinated to learn about the local traditional medicines and fell in love with Jamu (which is both a drink and a system of medicine). Not claiming to be an expert, she would like to share her observations and insights into the herbal medicine of Bali, specific herbs and their uses. We can learn a lot from the beautiful Balinese people and how their connections to culture, herbal medicine, nature and spirituality permeate and intersect every part of their lives. Prepare for a deep dive into (the many) turmerics and gingers, tamarind and ‘fart leaf'... and more, how their cultural beliefs and practices help to reduce stress and the blurred lines between food and medicine. There will be a herbal handout, and freshly made tastings of the amazing turmeric and ginger drink-based tonic, Jamu on the night! WHERE: Bargoonga Nganjin North Fitzroy Library WHEN: This Thursday, 22nd June @ 7:30pm We'd love to see you there!
Come see Julie's talk for VicHerbs next Thursday, all about Balinese herbal medicine! Including Jamu taste testing! Tickets available here, or cash-only tickets at the door. 22nd June at 7:30pm in North Fitzroy. Inspired by a casual cafe chat pre-recording, Julie & Karinda dive into the potentially controversial topic of how we relate to labels when it comes to health (namely, diagnostic labels). Why do we attach to labels? Is it helpful, harmful or somewhere in between? And what does shame have to do with receiving a diagnosis? We cover it all in this minisode snippet of the Nuanced Naturopaths.

What a scrumptiously dense episode! We cover a lot in this one, from explaining why coffee is a no-go on an empty stomach, what we ate for breakfast, what an ideal brekky looks like, as well as our first instalment of *Nat FAQs*, including questions like, "how long does it take for naturopathy to work?", "what's the difference between natural medicines and pharmaceutical meds?", and a big one, "do we really need supplements?". As always, happily addressing the nuance that arises with these kinds of questions! We'd love to hear from you - give us a follow if you like what we're saying or you're learning lots from listening in on our convos, leave a review if you're feeling extra nice, and engage in our polls & question boxes on Spotify!
