In this episode, I sit down with naturopath Kim Bretz to talk about one of the thorniest issues in healthcare today: medical misinformation. We explore what it means to practice in the messy, often misunderstood middle ground between allopathic and naturopathic medicine. Kim shares her experience as a bridge-builder—between professions, between patients and providers, and between fear and trust. This is a conversation about nuance, empathy, and how we can show up differently in a polarized world.

In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Andy Nguyen to explore where healthcare and creativity meet. We talk about the power of storytelling in medicine, what it’s like to start a creative journey, and how social media can shape the narratives we tell about our work. Andy shares his own experience as a medical Youtube creator and offers insights on authenticity and building community. We also reflect on the ongoing dance between personal and professional responsibilities—and why it's so worth it for healthcare professionals to embrace their creative sides.

In this episode, I dive into the upcoming changes to the FHO funding model for family physicians in Ontario and explore how we respond to changes in ways that feel good to us. I talk about the mindset work that’s helped me navigate uncertainty, especially the importance of separating neutral facts from the thoughts we attach to them. I also share how I approached analyzing the new funding structure, crafting a billing strategy that works for me, and staying grounded in patient care, even when the landscape feels shaky.
