This episode features two powerhouse practitioners joining me to discuss why nutritional therapy needs to reclaim it’s heart alongside the science.

Dawn Waldron and Emma Beswick talk about their own personal journeys that lead them to nutrition, nutrigenomics and functional health.

Despite knowing these two women well, lucky me - they are friends as well as colleagues, I learnt a lot from this conversation as we delved into the central role of the mitochondria and metabolism in health, and how this understanding has shaped Dawn's work in integrative oncology. Emma explains how her Metabolics Report aims to provide practitioners with a comprehensive view of mitochondrial function and cellular energy production. 

We openly talk about our shared belief that we've lost the therapy in nutritional therapy. The rush to order tests (gut, hormones, adrenals) means we're not listening to the information sitting in front of us - the client's story. Tests should illuminate, not replace, clinical reasoning.

Emma’s musical analogy has been ringing in my brain since we recorded - our genes are the sheet music, but nutrients, movement, and circadian rhythm are the performance instructions - they tell your genes HOW to play.

Both Emma and Dawn share more gems of insights, reminders that as practitioners, we're meant to hold space for the art AND science - not just prescribe based on data reports.

Emma & Dawn are also (of course) on my Expert Panel of Beyond The Lesions: Unravelling The Endometriosis Puzzle Livestreamed Masterclass 3rd November (booking details 🔗).
