About In the Clinic with Camille

This show is for clinical herbalists and nutritionists in private practice. We discuss tips and strategies for building a private integrative practice, working with herbs and supplements, issues affecting the fields of herbalism and nutrition, and more. My goal is to help herbalists and nutritionists run sustainable clinical practices. Most episodes are bite-sized. Topics include common questions and dilemmas faced by clinicians: practice management, clinical decision-making, how to make a sustainable living, ethical marketing and promotion, providing excellent clinical care without burning out, approaching clinical situations thoughtfully, safety concerns and fads in clinical practice, supplement safety, professional development, the practice of herbal medicine, how to run an evidence-informed practice, and more. New episodes weekly. Show notes at intheclinic.com.

   127 | Talking to Zero People: A presentation that flopped

   What happens when you give a presentation and the audience... leaves? One by one, until you're speaking to absolutely nobody? In this episode, I share a presentation horror story - very October-themed! -  that ends with me and a colleague presenting to an empty classroom, mid-sentence. If you've ever had a presentation bomb or if you're scared to present because of the possibility, I hope this helps a bit. IN THIS EPISODE The full story of a workshop that went from "the start of something big" to zero attendees Why even great speakers have classes that flop Hits and misses are part of the learning process - gotta keep going KEY TAKEAWAYIf you speak or teach enough, some talks just won't land for reasons that may have nothing to do with you. It's part of the learning curve, and it happens to everyone eventually :) RESOURCES & LINKS Sign up for Camille's practitioner newsletter (out every Thursday): https://www.camillefreeman.com Have feedback or a topic request? https://intheclinic.com

   126 | Pink urine, beets, and iron deficiency

   While prepping a class on iron deficiency for the Menstrual Health Intensive that Liane Moccia and I are currently teaching, I stumbled into a rabbit hole: a 1963 BMJ paper linking beeturia - pink or red urine after eating beets - to iron deficiency. Physiology nerds, check out this episode for a quick overview of why iron deficiency might cause red or pink urine in some cases, and why it's more of a clue and less of a clear diagnostic sign. What I Cover Beeturia basics A 1963 study in BMJ that identified the relationship between beeturia and iron deficiency The working theory about why iron deficiency might cause red or pink urine Why beeturia isn't diagnostic on its own, but might be worth noticing alongside other signs and symptoms Key Takeaways Red or pink urine after eating beets does not mean you (or your client) have iron deficiency - it shows up in roughly 2-15% of "normal" people without ID/IDA Beeturia is more common in iron deficiency, especially when untreated The likely mechanism is an "iron hunger": the gut absorbs iron faster, so less is left in the lumen to oxidize and decolorize betanin before it's absorbed Links and Resources Mentioned Oski, F.

   125 | Reconnecting with Herbs with Kimberly Gallagher

   Today I'm bringing you an interview with Kimberly Gallagher, co-founder of LearningHerbs.com and author of Aphrodisiac: The Herbal Path to Healthy Sexual Fulfillment and Vital Living. If you've been around me for a while, you've probably heard me recommend Learning Herbs. It's an incredibly affordable, rich resource for anybody learning about herbs, whether you're brand new or have years of experience. What we talk about: Kimberly's new course with Lauren Morgan, Rhythms and Relationships: A Feminine Way into Herbalism, and how it came to be Why embodied, relational plant knowledge matters just as much as book learning How the course uses plant sits, dreaming with plants, and ceremony to reconnect you with herbs in a visceral way Why this type of learning helps whether you're an experienced herbalist who's lost your beginner's mind or a nutritionist just starting to bring herbs into your practice The kitchen herbalism component: nourishing infusions, herbal vinegars, pestos, and shrubs Who can join - the course is open to all genders and focuses on lifting up the feminine, intuitive, nurturing aspects of herbalism that our culture often pushes down
