Mastering Boundaries and Resilience in Naturopathic Medicine with Dr. Carly King
<p>In this episode of The ND Gap, Dr. Jordan Robertson sits down with Dr. Carly King to talk about the decisions, challenges, and mindset shifts that have shaped her career, from building a thriving integrative practice to navigating high-risk pregnancy, kidney failure, a kidney transplant, and becoming one of the leading educators in perinatal care.</p><p>Together, they explore the importance of boundaries, evidence-based decision-making, collaboration with other healthcare professionals, and why some of the most meaningful career growth comes from embracing uncertainty rather than avoiding it.</p><p>This conversation is a reminder that success isn't about having all the answers. It's about continuing to grow, staying curious, and having the courage to move forward even before you feel ready.----</p><p>Dr. Carly King, ND, is a naturopathic doctor, educator, researcher, and international speaker with a clinical focus on fertility, pregnancy, postpartum care, and pediatrics. She is an adjunct professor at McMaster University and teaches for The Confident Clinician Club, where she is passionate about helping clinicians critically evaluate emerging research and translate evidence into practical, compassionate care. Carly's perspective extends beyond the clinic. Her own journey has included high-risk pregnancies complicated by kidney disease and preeclampsia, time spent in the ICU and NICU, parenting a child with a neonatal stroke, chronic kidney disease leading to kidney transplantation, divorce, single motherhood, and building a business through it all. Those experiences have profoundly shaped how she practices medicine, reinforcing the importance of combining scientific evidence with empathy, resilience, and patient-centred care. Whether she's teaching, speaking, or seeing patients, Carly is passionate about helping clinicians feel more confident in their clinical decision-making while recognizing that behind every diagnosis is a person navigating their own story.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dr.carlyking.nd/"><u>Connect with Dr. Carly on Instagram</u></a></p><p>----</p><p>Welcome back to The ND Gap, the podcast about the space between where naturopathic medicine is today and where it needs to go.
