Girls Talk Healthy Aging

Co-hosts Shawna Kaminski and Alli Kerr are sitting down with Dr. Sarah Vadeboncoeur, a Naturopathic Doctor, to discuss the important differences between conventional and naturopathic medicine. Dr. Vadeboncoeur sheds light on her holistic approach to health, emphasizing the importance of treating the whole person rather than just focusing on single health issues.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into how naturopathic doctors like Dr. Vadeboncoeur integrate nutrition, lifestyle, and mental well-being into their practice. She also addresses the misconception that naturopathic medicine is anti-drug, explaining that while she’s not licensed to prescribe pharmaceutical drugs, she recognizes their importance and collaborates with conventional medicine when necessary.

Dr. Vadeboncoeur shares her personal journey from intending to pursue conventional medicine to discovering her true calling in holistic health. She emphasizes the importance of finding a qualified and evidence-based practitioner, offering tips on how to identify properly credentialed naturopathic doctors, especially in areas where regulation may be lacking.

The episode also delves into the increasing trend of women feeling overwhelmed by societal pressures and responsibilities. Dr. Vadeboncoeur introduces her “energy audit” strategy, helping women prioritize and clear their plates of unnecessary tasks to focus on what truly matters. One of her biggest passions is working with clients experiencing fatigue. She encourages women to reduce the time spent obsessing over weight and appearance, freeing up energy to live their best lives.

Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional perspectives on health and inspires listeners to take a more balanced, holistic approach to their well-being.
