Breaking Down Barriers: Dr. Emily Bennett on Shame-Free Healthcare

It's so important for everybody, but is especially important if you are showing up as a leader or an authority figure in relationships one-on-one with people and, and really you know, making sure that you're meeting a person where they're at, understanding that you perhaps have no idea what their experience is like because it you have not had the same experience.
How often do we think about the hidden power dynamics in our healthcare system? In this episode of The Good Mood Podcast, Dr. Talia Marcheggiani sits down with Dr. Emily Bennett, a fellow naturopathic doctor, to tackle these very issues. Dr. Bennett's practice shines a light on community medicine and advocacy, with a particular focus on dismantling oppressive power structures that often go unnoticed in both conventional and alternative medical settings.
The conversation is a deep dive into how shame can impact access to healthcare and the ways it can be confronted directly. Dr. Bennett shares her insights on promoting body awareness and fostering meaningful conversations around treatment goals that might otherwise induce shame, such as weight loss or dietary changes. The episode also delves into broader themes like disordered eating, nutritional psychiatry, and anti-oppression approaches within the wellness world. Dr.
Bennett introduces practical tools for enhancing body connection, including intuitive eating, which challenges traditional narratives around food. By the end of this episode, listeners will gain a fresh perspective on how to create a more inclusive and supportive healthcare environment, moving towards decolonization and liberation. This is an eye-opening discussion that encourages us all to rethink our approach to health and wellness.
