Today we were lucky enough to have a chat with Dr Michael Thomsen (PhD, Medical Herbalist and Naturopath). We talk about his study of naturopathy compared to our more recent experience of uni, his mentors in naturopathy, the union of biomedical healthcare with naturopathic healthcare and his journey for writing the very popular Phytotherapy Desk Reference.  He is an experienced naturopath and herbalist with over 30 years experience, a PhD from Sydney University Medical School and a Master of Science from Graduate School of Integrative Medicine at Swinburne University. Michael has extensive industry experience as past technical manager of leading herbal medicine companies in Australia. He is the author of the popular Phytotherapy Desk Reference now in its fourth edition having sold 16,000 copies worldwide. The Phytotherapy Desk Reference is now also an online web application with additional features including herb-drug interactions. At 41:33 we start talking about Michael's book & app, the Phytotherapy Desk Reference, which we know is very popular with our colleagues and will be incredibly handy for our student listeners!

The Nuanced Naturopaths Podcast is a friendly conversation between two friends, us! Karinda and Julie. We're passionate about finding the nuance in natural health. As degree-qualified naturopaths, we like to ask the questions that need to be asked - about all aspects of health, healing and well-being. We delight in questioning firmly held beliefs and finding the nuance in all subjects health-related and beyond. Sometimes it can get a little technical, but hopefully we explain things in a way that's accessible to anyone interested in natural health, whether you're a practitioner or someone who wants to learn more and optimise your wellbeing. It's a chat about poop, periods and everything in between - buckle up for a laugh, a cry and for some things you are yet to consider about your health! Stay nuanced!

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I welcome Alison Sim on the show to discuss persistent pain. Alison Sim has a keen interest in educating health professionals about the latest science surrounding pain, especially pain that hangs around – chronic or persisting pain. Alison qualified as an osteopath in 2001. She has a Masters of Pain Management from Sydney University Medical School and Royal North Shore Pain Management Research Institute. She has lectured at Australian Catholic University, Victoria University, RMIT and George Fox University in a variety of science and clinical subjects. She has also worked as part of the teaching team at Deakin University Medical School and is currently based in Melbourne, Australia. In this episode, we discuss: -Societal and financial implications of chronic pain -How Alison develops a therapeutic alliance with patients with persistent pain -Lessons from Pain Heroes: Stories of Hope and Recovery -The importance of empowering patients and enhancing their control over their symptoms -And so much more!   “People are starting to catch on but these things take ages to translate through to shifts in healthcare systems.”   “A multimodal, biopsychosocial approach is what’s required to get the best outcomes.”   “I really place a lot of value on listening and understanding. From that platform, you have a lot more opportunity to make change.”   “Don’t take the responsibility of the patient’s outcomes to heart.”   For more information on Alison: Alison Sim has a keen interest in educating health professionals about the latest science surrounding pain, especially pain that hangs around – chronic or persisting pain. Pain science can be quite disheartening as a topic – there are no magic bullets or quick fixes. The science can sometimes paint a bleak picture of poor outcomes for any single modality approach. This makes engaging with this material difficult and the result is that practitioners might choose to avoid exploring the material at all. Alison’s seminars and workshops aim to investigate the approaches that have a strong evidence base of proven results and demonstrate how they can be applied in clinical practice. This means better outcomes for your clients and patients. Alison qualified as an osteopath in 2001.
