Non-Diet Naturopath
The Non-Diet Naturopath is where wellness culture gets dismantled - one adrenal cocktail and trauma-blind detox plan at a time.
Hosted by Casey Conroy - naturopath, eating disorder clinician, non-diet dietitian, yoga teacher, and nature-informed practitioner with little patience for performative healing. This podcast explores the messy intersections of food, bodies, disordered eating, neurodivergence, trauma, herbal medicine, and wellness industry BS.
This podcast is for you if you:
- Are a practitioner who’s tired of root cause rhetoric that ignores trauma and complexity
- Love plants and healing but side-eye wellness influencers selling detox kits and mindset cures
- Want to be more fat-affirming, neuro-affirming, and scope-aware in your practice
- Believe nuance is sacred and rebellion should be relational, not just performative
- Still love yoga, but not yoga culture™
This podcast doesn’t just call out toxic wellness - it offers a grounded, inclusive alternative rooted in relational care, evidence, ethics, and real connection to land and body.
Expect rants, resources, and real talk - plus insight into Casey’s upcoming course Disordered Eating for Naturopaths, launching mid-2026.

Naturopathy was never intended to focus on weight loss. And when it comes to women’s health - especially preconception care, postpartum and peri-menopause - taking the emphasis off of weight and shape and onto health becomes even more imperative. Dr. Caitlin O’Connor, a naturopathic doctor based in Denver, Colorado shares her wisdom.
