Inside the Apothecary

Jaime Chew and Melissa Larkings (Gearing)

Inside the Apothecary is a weekly conversation where clinical wisdom meets real life.

Hosted by Naturopaths Mel and Jaime, each episode unpacks a focused health or lifestyle topic, breaking down the science, challenging common myths, and translating what actually matters in practice. From fertility and hormones to gut health, inflammation, nervous system regulation, herbal medicine, and food as medicine, the conversations go beyond surface level advice and into how the body actually works.

Expect myth-busting, real clinical insights, practical education, and honest conversations about mind–body health, all delivered with warmth, clarity, and a touch of banter.

Whether you’re navigating your own health, trying to understand your body more deeply, or working in the integrative space, this is where complex health starts to make sense.
