Manage episode 504449248 series 2941358
Feeling buried in admin when all you want is to focus on your patients?
You’re not alone. The naturopathic profession has long struggled with burnout as practitioners juggle clinical work, business management, marketing, and ongoing education—often single-handedly.
In this groundbreaking conversation, Amy Skilton and business mentor Tammy Guest explore how artificial intelligence is creating unprecedented opportunities for naturopaths to reclaim their time, amplify their unique gifts, and ultimately become more human in their practice. Beyond the fear-based headlines, AI offers practical solutions to longstanding challenges in our profession.
Discover how practitioners are using AI to transcribe and summarise consultations, freeing them to be fully present with patients. Learn how research that once took hours can now be completed in minutes, with practitioners maintaining discernment while AI handles the heavy lifting. For those who struggle with marketing and content creation, hear real-world examples of practitioners finally launching the courses and programs they’ve dreamed of—all thanks to accessible AI tools.
Perhaps most compelling is the recognition that our predominantly female profession has a unique opportunity to influence AI’s development. With 70% of current AI users identifying as male, naturopaths can bring a holistic, patient-centred perspective to ensure this technology reflects the values we hold dear.
Whether you’re tech-savvy or tech-phobic, this episode offers practical starting points and free resources to help you explore how AI might enhance your practice. The world needs the special gifts that only you have—don’t let them remain hidden because you’re weighed down by tasks that AI could handle with ease.
