Non-Diet Naturopath
The Non-Diet Naturopath is where wellness culture gets dismantled - one adrenal cocktail and trauma-blind detox plan at a time.
Hosted by Casey Conroy - naturopath, eating disorder clinician, non-diet dietitian, yoga teacher, and nature-informed practitioner with little patience for performative healing. This podcast explores the messy intersections of food, bodies, disordered eating, neurodivergence, trauma, herbal medicine, and wellness industry BS.
This podcast is for you if you:
- Are a practitioner who’s tired of root cause rhetoric that ignores trauma and complexity
- Love plants and healing but side-eye wellness influencers selling detox kits and mindset cures
- Want to be more fat-affirming, neuro-affirming, and scope-aware in your practice
- Believe nuance is sacred and rebellion should be relational, not just performative
- Still love yoga, but not yoga culture™
This podcast doesn’t just call out toxic wellness - it offers a grounded, inclusive alternative rooted in relational care, evidence, ethics, and real connection to land and body.
Expect rants, resources, and real talk - plus insight into Casey’s upcoming course Disordered Eating for Naturopaths, launching mid-2026.

Ep 14. Performative Activism: Feigned Anti-Racism & White Supremacy in Yoga
There has been a phenomenal uptick of rising yoga and wellness influencers posting anti-racism sentiments on social media. Yet in stark contrast to the important message of bringing light to police brutality against BIPOC, or tackling underrepresentation of coloured folks in wellness spaces, these feeds are filled with white, thin, able-bodied, cis-het women striking yoga poses on beaches. Are these influencers for real?
In this episode:
- The current phenomenon of performative activism in yoga social media, and why it comes across as disingenuous
- How white yoga and wellness influencers can leverage their privilege to do better
- My personal experiences of racism growing up, how these pale in comparison to those of BIPOC, and how I'm responding to racial injustice
- The damage done by sentiments like, “No One Is Superior”, "We Are All One", or "I Don't See Colour"
- Spiritual capitalism and the ways white supremacy manifests in real-life white yoga studio culture
- 3 tactics of defence and dismissal used by white wellness influencers to deflect accountability around racism
- People who are doing excellent work in allyship, de-centering themselves, raising the voices of BIPOC, and/or speaking out as BIPOC wellness and yoga influencers themselves
