Are you using AI to its full potential, or are you still on the fence, unsure if it’s worth the effort or even a little intimidated by it?

In this episode of the Nourished CEO podcast, I sit down with Nina Marie Rueda—a traditional naturopathic doctor, mom of three, and mentor to clinicians—to explore how she’s using AI to transform her business, support her clients, and reclaim precious time with her family.

Whether she’s helping moms and kids thrive or training practitioners to work smarter, Nina Marie shows how AI isn’t just about productivity... it’s a tool for living more fully.

From automating lab interpretations and email responses to building client-facing bots, she breaks down how she uses AI creatively, ethically, and practically.

We talk about the mindset shifts clinicians need to adopt, how to maintain human connection in an increasingly automated world, and how to use AI to create more spaciousness, not just more sales.
