Ep 39. Hard Conversations in Naturopathy: Do No Harm in a Weight-Obsessed Culture
Episode 39
Thursday, 23 October, 2025
When “wellness” programs promise balance but deliver restriction, naturopathy loses its way.In this episode, I unpack how weight-loss prescriptions quietly betray the naturopathic oath of First, do no harm - and why speaking up about it isn’t an attack, it’s seeking accountability.We’ll talk about the difference between professional critique and personal criticism, why discomfort doesn’t equal disrespect, and how avoiding hard conversations only protects the systems that keep clients harmed and practitioners silenced.This one’s for the practitioners who care deeply about doing better: about integrity, reflection, and truly trauma-informed, evidence-based naturopathy.If you’re a naturopath, herbalist, or nutritionist ready to do better - to make your care truly trauma-informed, body-inclusive, and ethical - this is for you.✨ Download the free guide for practitioners and join the Body as Earth waitlist!What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Why weight-loss programs like Metabolic Balance and shake-based “clinical” protocols contradict the naturopathic oathThe difference between critiquing systems vs. attacking practitioners - and why professional critique isn’t the same as personal attackHow weight-centric programs disguise restriction as “balance”, "healing", or even "non-diet"The scientific evidence on long-term weight regain and metabolic adaptationWhy Intuitive Eating and trauma-informed care cannot ethically coexist with weight-centred practiceWhat to do instead - how to practise from a truly non-diet, body-trust, trauma-aware frameworkHow to have courageous, respectful professional conversations about harm, ethics, and scope✨ Prefer to read?
