About this listen

Inside the Apothecary is a weekly conversation where clinical wisdom meets real life.

Hosted by Naturopaths Mel and Jaime, each episode dives deep into a health or lifestyle topic - unpacking the science, the myths, and what actually matters in practice. From fertility and hormones to gut health, nervous system regulation, herbs, and food as medicine, nothing is off-limits.

Expect myth-busting, case discussions from the clinic, practical food and herbal education, and honest conversations about mind–body health - all delivered with warmth, curiosity, and a touch of banter.

Whether you’re on a healing journey, supporting your health more intentionally, or working in the integrative space yourself, Inside the Apothecary is your place for grounded, evidence-informed conversations that make complex health feel accessible.
