This week, Dr. Leigh Richardson sits down with the incredible Dr. Jenni Ogden, a renowned academic and clinical psychologist turned award-winning novelist.

Dr. Leigh dives deep into this transformation, exploring how Dr. Jenni’s life experiences shape her award-winning fiction and offering insights into creating novels that resonate deeply with readers’ minds and hearts.

In Your Head with Leigh Richardson speaks with Dr. Scott Clack, a naturopathic doctor, to talk about the effectiveness of naturopathic medicine and diet changes that provide effective and immediate results in as early as two weeks.

When his wife was recommended by a naturopathic doctor to follow an elimination diet to treat her migraine headaches, he followed along with the diet to support her. The elimination diet, and the possibility of hidden, undiagnosed food sensitivities proved to be a very successful treatment. From that point, he decided to train to become a naturopathic doctor and graduated from Bastyr University in 1997.

Dr. Scott’s tagline is: “Combining modern medical science with time-proven healing methods.”
