Integrative Wellness Radio

Dr. Nicole flies solo to unpack the overlooked root causes behind pet health issues, especially in dogs. She shares personal stories, challenges conventional veterinary practices, and empowers pet owners to seek deeper answers beyond quick fixes and invasive procedures. Nicole highlights how environmental toxins, outdated norms, and fear-driven decisions are at the core of chronic pet conditions, and she offers practical, holistic approaches for truly vibrant animal health.   #HolisticPetCare #RootCauseHealing #IntegrativeHealth #PetWellness #VibrantPets #BeyondConventional #ToxinFreePets #EmpoweredPetOwners #FunctionalMedicine #HealthyDogs   3 Key Takeaways: Root Causes Over Band-Aids: Chronic pet issues like ear infections, eye irritation, and paw licking often stem from environmental toxins and not just bacteria or fungus—address the source, not just the symptoms. Question the Norms: Mainstream pet care advice (kibble, excessive meds, unnecessary surgeries) is often profit-driven and outdated. There's a better way—trust your intuition and don't be afraid to go against the grain. Holistic, Proactive Pet Care: What works for human health applies to pets—think clean food, filtered water, toxin binders, and alternative therapies like homeopathy and red light therapy. Build a support network of holistic vets and always get a second opinion before resorting to drastic treatments.    Quotes:  “Less is more, people. We've been fed so much bullshit about how to protect our dogs—it's all driven by fear and really bad science.” “Don't normalize things just because your environment tells you this is the norm—there are plenty of other parts of the world where it is completely not the norm.   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this episode, Dr. Nicole Rivera and Dr. Nick Carruthers challenge the conventional view of parasites, revealing how unresolved emotions—especially anger—can keep you stuck in cycles of chronic infection and poor health. They share personal stories and clinical insights showing that true healing often happens when you address both the mind and the body, not just the symptoms. Sometimes, parasites even play a protective role until you're ready to let go of old emotional patterns. The episode encourages listeners to reflect on how holding onto pain or anger may be hindering their progress, and spotlights the power of emotional healing for lasting, generational health.   #IntegrativeMedicine #MindBodyHealing #ParasiteCleanse #EmotionalHealth #FunctionalMedicine #HolisticHealth #ReleaseAnger #QuantumHealing #GenerationalHealth #IntegrativeYou   3 Key Takeaways: Parasites Aren't Just Physical—They're Emotional: Persistent parasite infections often mirror unresolved emotional states, especially anger. True healing requires addressing both the biochemical and emotional roots, not just taking more supplements. Anger as Fuel (Until It Isn't): Anger can be a powerful motivator, but when it stops serving you, it can keep you stuck—physically and energetically. Letting go of anger can be the missing link to finally clearing stubborn health issues. Your Mind Dictates Your Biology: The body is always seeking balance. When you shift your mindset and beliefs, you create real, measurable changes—sometimes even passing parasites without any supplements, just by doing the deep inner work.    Quotes:  “When you don't need your anger anymore, you will pass your parasites.” “Understanding enhances belief—when you feel supported and know what's happening in your body, your outcomes are better.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

This episode of Integrative You Radio dives deep into the misunderstood world of neurodegenerative diseases—especially ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick unravel the hidden connections between environmental toxins, like cyanide and algae exposure, and the emotional roots of disease, such as self-betrayal and the “Nice Guy Syndrome.” They challenge the conventional view of ALS as just a physical diagnosis, shining a light on how a lack of self-love and unexpressed truth can manifest physically. The Doctors share practical wisdom on breaking free from people-pleasing, the importance of knowing your values, and how real healing starts with radical self-awareness and communication.   #ALS #NeurodegenerativeDisease #SelfLove #IntegrativeMedicine #RootCauseHealing #PeoplePleasing #ValuesDriven #FunctionalMedicine #EmotionalHealth #SpeakYourTruth #HolisticHealth #MindBodyConnection #WellnessJourney #DrNicoleRivera #DrNickCarruthers #IntegrativeYou   3 Key Takeaways: ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases may be linked to cyanide exposure—not just from the environment but from internal sources like cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), highlighting the need for deeper diagnostic approaches. Long-term people-pleasing, self-betrayal, and putting yourself last (especially for parents and caregivers) can create profound stress and disconnection from self, which may contribute to disease. True healing begins with radical self-love, clear communication, and living in alignment with your core values—knowing who you are is the foundation for transformation.    Quotes:  “Every single aspect of disease is literally how far away from love are you? And that will equal the degree of the disease.” – Dr. Nick “If you're not going to speak up and exercise your truth, or stand for yourself, you're mentally not speaking up—and that can manifest as a physical disease.” – Dr. Nicole   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick dive deep into the concept that “conflict avoided is conflict multiplied.” They explore how isolation—whether from entrepreneurship, chronic illness, or strained relationships—can impact health and happiness, and why honest, humble, and methodical communication is the antidote. Drawing from personal stories, clinical experience, and frameworks like Patrick Lencioni's trust pyramid, they share practical tools for building trust, fostering win-win relationships, and showing up as better leaders, partners, and humans.   #IntegrativeYou #ConflictResolution #TrustBuilding #AuthenticLeadership #EntrepreneurLife #RelationshipGoals #Vulnerability #WinWin #PersonalGrowth #ConsciousCommunication #LimitlessLiving   3 Key Takeaways: Avoiding Conflict = Multiplying Problems: When we dodge uncomfortable conversations—at work, home, or with ourselves—we're actually allowing issues to fester and grow. Facing things head-on (with humility, not aggression) builds trust and leads to better outcomes. Trust Is Built Through Vulnerability and Win-Win Intentions: True trust isn't just about keeping promises; it's about creating space for open, honest dialogue where everyone can win. Vulnerability and methodical communication are the foundation. Quality > Quantity in Relationships: It's not about how many people fill your life, but the depth and fairness of those connections. Prioritizing clear, caring communication transforms relationships—from business to family.    Quotes:  “Conflict avoided is conflict multiplied. The last thing we want is for frustration to fester—addressing it directly, with humility, actually builds trust.” “The goal is trust. And trust is created from a win-win relationship… If everybody's winning evenly, there's maximal trust.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick get real about the dangers of “patchwork” solutions—those quick fixes we use to mask pain or problems instead of getting to the root cause. Using Nicole's own experience with pregnancy pain and arnica as a jumping-off point, they dive into how this mindset shows up in health, relationships, business, and even parenting. The conversation challenges the cultural obsession with “fast, cheap, and easy,” and inspires listeners to choose deep, proactive problem-solving over surface-level band-aids.   #RootCauseHealing #StopThePatchwork #IntegrativeLiving #BeProactive #HolisticHealth #ValuesDrivenLife #MindBodyConnection #PersonalGrowth #IntegrativeYou #LiveLimitless   3 Key Takeaways: Patchwork Solutions Don't Solve Root Problems: Whether it's using natural remedies, medication, or even couples therapy, if you're only addressing symptoms and not the underlying cause, the problem will keep resurfacing—often bigger than before. Being Proactive Beats Being Reactive: True change and growth happen when you invest time, energy, and resources into finding and fixing the root of an issue, instead of waiting for things to break down or spiral out of control. Awareness is Power: Cultivating daily awareness around where you're being proactive vs. reactive—especially in your health, relationships, and business—empowers you to make choices that serve your highest good (and keep you out of the endless “problem circus”).  Quotes:  “Pain's not the problem, it's just the messenger. Let's stop patching the problems—let's fix them.” “Stop thinking that problem solving is easy. If you want to be the leader of your life, your family, or your business, problem solving is part of the job.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick get real about the rise of AI in health and life. They unpack how AI is transforming access to information—shifting us from fear-driven, biased narratives to a more balanced, empowering landscape. The duo dives into the power of asking better questions, the importance of critical thinking over information overload, and how AI can help us reclaim time, energy, and autonomy in our health journeys.

The Power of Better Questions: The real magic of AI isn't just in having more information—it's in asking smarter, more specific questions. The quality of your questions directly impacts the quality of answers (and results) you get. Information Alone Isn't Enough—Strategy Matters: We're in an era of information overload, but true transformation comes from pairing that information with critical thinking and personalized strategy. Don't just collect data—use it intentionally to create a life that's aligned with your values.  Quotes:  “The quality of your life is dictated by the quality of the questions you ask.” “Don't just gobble up information—pair it with critical thinking and the right strategy, or you'll end up more confused than ever.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick take a deep dive into the transformative power of suffering and how it can be leveraged to create a life of alignment and fulfillment. They explore how past adversities often shape our passions but can also hold us back if we remain tethered to them.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick dive deep into the frustrations many face when personal development efforts seem to plateau. They unpack the concept that true growth requires strengthening your "vessel"—a holistic integration of mind, body, and energy. The discussion highlights how focusing on one area in isolation limits potential and why aligning foundational aspects like health, environment, and mindset is critical to unlocking limitless potential. They also explore the importance of unlearning societal programming, asking better questions, and leveraging strategic personal development to create a life aligned with your values and vision.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole Rivera discusses the subjectivity of medicine and healthcare, breaking down the myths surrounding its foundation in science and research. She reveals how personal biases, emotions, and experiences of healthcare providers can influence diagnoses and outcomes. Dr. Nicole emphasizes the critical role of self-responsibility, belief systems, and proactive decision-making in shaping your health journey. Through real-life examples, including a transformative story of an infant's kidney health journey, she illustrates how mindset, strategy, and alternative approaches can defy conventional medical expectations.   #IntegrativeMedicine #HealthEmpowerment #SelfHealing #MindBodyConnection #SubjectivityInMedicine #QuantumHealing #HolisticHealth #WellnessJourney #TakeControlOfYourHealth #BeliefSystemPower   3 Key Takeaways:   Medicine is subjective: Despite being rooted in science, healthcare outcomes are influenced by human emotions, beliefs, and experiences, making it far from black and white. Empowerment through self-responsibility: Your health outcomes are not solely dictated by doctors or diagnoses—your belief systems, actions, and commitment play a significant role. The power of questioning and belief: Asking better questions, gathering diverse perspectives, and believing in your ability to heal can drastically shift your health reality.  Quotes:  "If you believe you can, or if you believe you can't, either way, you're right."

In this no-holds-barred episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole breaks down the myth of modern medicine's obsession with diagnosis. She challenges the mainstream approach of labeling symptoms for the sake of profit, rather than uncovering the root cause of illness. With over 30,000 new diagnostic codes recently added to the system, she questions whether this represents true progress—or just another layer of confusion and dependency designed to feed the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Nicole urges listeners to ask deeper questions, understand the hierarchy of causes, and stop outsourcing their wellbeing to a system that thrives on chronic disease. Drawing from her own motherhood journey, clinical expertise, and everyday examples, Dr. Nicole emphasizes the importance of embodied knowledge and self-trust. She encourages listeners to step into their power, learn how their bodies work, and know when to seek real, integrative support. This episode isn't just a critique—it's a call to action to become the CEO of your own health, build generational wisdom, and stop blindly accepting surface-level solutions. #RootCauseMedicine #HealthSovereignty #FunctionalMedicine #HolisticHealth #IntegrativeWellness #MedicalFreedom #SelfHealing #BodyIntelligence #DiagnosisDebunked #EmpoweredHealth What you'll learn:     Diagnosis isn't the answer: it's the entry point to profit. Most diagnoses simply label symptoms without addressing their underlying cause, keeping people dependent on external treatments. Healing requires understanding the hierarchy of root causes. Emotional trauma, toxins, and pathogens may all be involved, but identifying what's foundational is key to lasting resolution. You are the authority on your own health: Knowledge is power; educating yourself about food, stress, tech exposure, and daily choices creates long-term wellbeing and autonomy.  Quotes:  “Diagnosis codes don't solve problems—they create identities that fuel an industry."- Dr. Nicole "We're not trying to make you your own doctor—we're trying to help you not need one."- Dr. Nicole Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole challenges the current state of functional and integrative medicine, questioning whether it has become a source of stress and anxiety rather than a solution. She discusses how fear-based health narratives, extreme elimination diets, and rigid wellness protocols may actually contribute to mental health struggles rather than improving overall well-being. Through personal experiences and industry insights, she explores the importance of balance, mindset, and emotional resilience in achieving true health. Dr. Nicole also dives into the cultural contrasts she has observed while living in Italy, where people lead healthier lives with less obsession over "clean living." She highlights the importance of nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and shifting from a fear-based approach to a more aligned, intuitive way of taking care of oneself. Are we unknowingly becoming victims of the wellness industry? Tune in to find out. What you'll learn:     Wellness Extremes Can Be Harmful – Over-focusing on eliminating every toxin, food, or environmental factor can lead to anxiety, stress, and a dysregulated nervous system, ultimately harming mental and physical health. Mindset and Stress Matter More Than Obsession – People in cultures with less stress, like Italy, often live healthier lives without obsessing over every food ingredient or environmental toxin. True Functional Medicine Isn't About Fear – Practitioners and influencers pushing extreme health narratives may be creating more stress and fear than actual healing; real health comes from balance, not perfection.  Quotes:  "If you're constantly living in fear of your environment, your food, and your body, you're already setting yourself up for failure—your nervous system is in survival mode." - Dr. Nicole "True health isn't about eliminating everything in your life that could harm you—it's about creating a foundation of resilience, balance, and alignment." - Dr. Nicole Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify Curious about Integrative You?

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, we dive deep into the growing trend of restrictive diets and their unexpected consequences, particularly when it comes to mental and physical health. From the paleo and autoimmune paleo movements to the recent surge in "ancestral living" diets, the episode explores how these popular trends, though rooted in a desire for better health, often contribute to toxic overload in the liver and body. Dr. Nicole shares personal insights, reflecting on how shifting away from such extremes can lead to better long-term wellness, both physically and mentally.

As the episode continues, it draws comparisons between the culture of food in the U.S. and Italy, highlighting the stark differences in diet quality, accessibility, and the stress of food-related choices. In Italy, the notion of "ancestral living" isn't just a trend, but a way of life, with food grown locally and prepared simply. The contrast to the U.S. diet, dominated by convenience foods and processed ingredients, is stark and tells a bigger story of how our food systems contribute to the chronic health crises we face today. Tune in to learn practical tips on how to break free from food overwhelm and make conscious choices that support your health and well-being.

Quality and Simplicity Matter More Than Extremes: In Italy, the focus is on eating locally sourced, simple, and minimally processed foods, which supports long-term health without overthinking every meal. Convenience Foods Contribute to Chronic Illness: The accessibility of cheap, processed foods in the U.S. contributes to obesity and health problems, making it difficult for people to make healthier food choices.  Quotes:  "At the end of the day, it's not about subscribing to a specific diet trend; it's about understanding how to nourish your body with real, whole foods and making conscious choices that support your health."- Dr. Nicole "Food is not food anymore; it's become so chemically manipulated that we've lost touch with what truly nourishes our bodies."- Dr. Nicole Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify Curious about Integrative You?
