Natural Health with Emma Sutherland

Bone loss doesn't announce itself. No symptoms, no warning — sometimes the first sign is a fracture.

In this episode, clinical naturopath Emma Sutherland breaks down a 12-month clinical study on jumping and bone density, and explains what the findings mean for women over 55.

Clinical naturopath Emma Sutherland breaks down the research on Withania (ashwagandha) and perimenopause — not the wellness blog version, the clinical version. What the trials actually showed.

This is the episode the whole series has been leading to.

Clinical naturopath Emma Sutherland shares the step-by-step roadmap she's used in clinic for over 22 years — 9 steps, in a specific sequence, built around supporting the body rather than fighting it.

You've been told it's simple. It's not.

In Part 1 of this 3-part series, clinical naturopath Emma Sutherland begins a conversation that most weight loss programs never dare to start — the real reason so many women work so hard and see so little result.

What if the reason your body won't cooperate isn't about what you're doing — but about whether your nervous system feels safe enough to heal?

This week I'm joined by Natasha Sidoti — naturopath, herbalist, and one of the most quietly perceptive practitioners I've spoken with. We explore the role herbal medicine plays in giving the nervous system a genuine reprieve, the herbs she reaches for first, the vagus nerve and bre...

Antibiotic-associated diarrhoea affects up to 62% of children, and I see so many families who were never given the practical tools to prevent it. In this solo episode, I unpack two landmark studies to reveal the specific probiotic strains that the evidence actually supports: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Saccharomyces boulardii.

I walk you through my exact dosing protocol, why timing from dose one is non-negotiable, and why strain ...

The wrong supplements can make constipation worse. In this final episode of the 4-part series, Emma reveals the magnesium form she refuses to use, the one probiotic strain research says actually works, and two gentle herbs most people have never considered for gut health. If you’ve been randomly supplementing with no results, this episode explains why.

Part 3 reveals the five functional foods with genuine evidence, including one you eat skin and all, one that beat a popular supplement in trials, and one surprising sprout that works through gut signalling, not fibre. This episode changes how you think about food and constipation.

What if your spine could tell you which organ needs attention — before you felt any symptoms at all?

That's exactly what happened when Sydney chiropractor Dr Meredith Ruby kept detecting a stubborn reflex pattern in her patient's intestinal region. The patient had zero symptoms. But Meredith referred her for scans anyway — and they found a tumour.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr Meredith Ruby, who brings nearly 20 yea...
