The art and science of naturopathic care | Dr Kristi Morlan-Hughes

Join Tanya for an enlightening conversation with Dr Kristi Morlan-Hughes, a leading naturopath and functional medicine practitioner with over 25 years of experience in clinic and teaching others.Together, they explore the foundations of naturopathic medicine, from the influence of Dr Jeffrey Bland—whom Dr Kristi has both learned from and taught alongside—to the transformative education offered by the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and AFMCP courses. Their discussion also delves into one of Dr Hughes' most passionate areas of expertise: the therapeutic importance of supporting the endothelial glycocalyx and enhancing nitric oxide production. They explore how this often-overlooked aspect of cardiovascular health forms a cornerstone of her clinical practice, and discuss the profound implications for client outcomes when these fundamental vascular functions are optimised through targeted naturopathic interventions.Whether you're a practitioner or simply passionate about holistic health, this episode uncovers the power of personalised, functional approaches to wellbeing.-The views expressed in this podcast are that of the individual and not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
