  • Join us as we dive deep into gallbladder health with the wisdom of Naturopath Amie Skilton.

    In this episode, we uncover why we are seeing a surge in gallbladder diseases and removals, particularly among younger individuals.

    We discuss how your daily choices and environmental toxins may be putting your gallbladder at risk, and learn the surprising ways estrogen itself plays a pivotal role in gallbladder function. We connect the dots between gallbladder issues and broader health concerns like diabetes and liver disease, emphasizing the dire need for a shift in awareness to safeguard this vital organ.

    Navigating the murky waters of gallbladder management, Amie tackles the array of treatments available for those facing gallbladder distress.

    This episode goes beyond the quick fixes, shedding light on the deeper causes of gallbladder woes. We highlight that, often, the real solution lies in preventative care and early intervention—strategies that could spare you from the operating room and promote long-term well-being.

    About Amie
    Amie Skilton – is a functional medicine practitioner of almost 20 years and a well-known educator in naturopathic medicine. For over 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of appearing on conference stages, TV sets and – more recently – laptop screens via Zoom. In that time, I’ve had the honour of presenting more than a thousand keynotes to functional medicine practitioners, integrative GPs, holistic pharmacists and the general public.

    In 2017, I had the plot twist of my life. I developed an environmentally-acquired illness (CIRS or ‘mould illness’) and, amongst other discoveries, realised my naturopathic, nutritional and herbal toolkit was only as valuable as my environment was healthy.

    I’m now a qualified Mould Testing Technician and continue studying building biology and the various ways in which the built environment has a profound impact on human health. So my educational repertoire has expanded to include environmental health hazards and functional medicine strategies.

  • In today's episode, we look into the complexities of the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods; Diana and I dissect the distinction between listed and registered medicines and underscore the indispensable role of extemporaneous compounding and the value that this type of prescription can add to your practice and your patient care.

    This practice of extemporaneous compounding offers custom-fit solutions for healthcare practitioners and their patients, ensuring that even when the ARTG doesn't list a product, there is still a pathway to necessary care.

    In this episode, we also tackle the nuanced world of personalised medicine, comparing the specificity of compounded medications to the tailored care found in herbal remedies and the profound impact of legal changes on compounding in Australia.

    Finally, we get down to brass tacks, discussing the rigorous detail that goes into pharmaceutical compounding—where the precision of scales and the meticulous creation of sterile products become paramount. We explore various delivery methods, such as transdermal applications and vegetable capsules, which cater to unique patient needs.

    By the end of our chat, practitioners will feel equipped with practical knowledge and a newfound appreciation for the convergence of modern medicine with age-old herbal wisdom. Join us as we dissect the art and science behind the healing power of compounded medications and natural remedies.

  • In this encore episode, we revisit our conversation with Amie Skilton, an expert on mould and mould illness, who has embarked on a mission to help people struggling with the effects of water-damaged buildings and who battle the ironic challenge of finding a safe and healthy environment to heal.


    In this episode, you will learn the following:

    The prevalence of water-damaged buildings in the Western world How to identify mould without visible evidence?The need to take action early when one suspects mould illness to avoid becoming more severely affected.How to prioritise treatment in Mould biotoxin illness, a genuinely complex condition What are the symptoms and conditions associated with mould? How to balance appropriate assessment and remediation with the cost? treatment guidelines


    About Amie:
    Amie Skilton – is a functional medicine practitioner of almost 20 years and a well-known educator in naturopathic medicine. For over 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of appearing on conference stages, TV sets and – more recently – laptop screens via Zoom. In that time, I’ve had the honour of presenting more than a thousand keynotes to functional medicine practitioners, integrative GPs, holistic pharmacists and the general public.

    In 2017, I had the plot twist of my life. I developed an environmentally-acquired illness (CIRS or ‘mould illness’) and, amongst other discoveries, realised my naturopathic, nutritional and herbal toolkit was only as valuable as my environment was healthy.

    I’m now a qualified Mould Testing Technician and continue studying building biology and the various ways in which the built environment has a profound impact on human health. So my educational repertoire has expanded to include environmental health hazards and functional medicine strategies.
