Host: Andy Herber, P.A.-C. Guests: Jennifer Bold, D.N.P., APRN, C.N.P.; Michelle Booth-Kowalczyk, APRN, C.N.P.; John Weimer, PA-C; Alec Williams, APRN, C.N.P., D.N.P.;   As healthcare grows increasingly complex, the success of newly hired nurse practitioners and physician assistants depends not only on their preparation, but also on the systems that support their integration, development, and long-term success. While orientation may last weeks or months, the journey to confidence, competence, and professional identity often extends through the first two years of practice. Organizations increasingly recognize that onboarding, mentorship, structured development, and transition-to-practice programs play a critical role in clinician retention, engagement, productivity, and patient care. In this episode, Mayo Clinic NP and PA leaders discuss what distinguishes onboarding from orientation, explore evidence-informed approaches to supporting new clinicians, and share lessons learned from developing successful transition-to-practice programs. The topic for this podcast is Onboarding, Orientation, and the First 24 Months: What Retains High-Performing NPs and PAs.

"If you are considering board service, I would say take the leap. Start with your local chapter. It will give you some valuable skills that will help prepare you when you are applying for your national level. And I always say, if you want to do it, just do it because what's the worst that can happen? They can say no, but that doesn't mean that you will never serve on a board. I always tell people delayed is not denied," Cassandra Green, DNP, RN, OCN®, ONS member and past president of the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC) Board of Directors, told Evelyn Wempe, DNP, MBA, APRN, ACNP-BC, AOCNP®, CRN, NEA-BC, chair of the ONS Leadership Succession Committee (formerly known as the Leadership Development Committee), during a conversation about service on a board of directors. Wempe spoke with Green and ONS members Kristin Ferguson, DNP, MBA, RN, OCN®, CGNC, former treasurer and director-at-large on the ONS Board of Directors, and Yanka Campbell, DNP, RN, CPHQ, AGPCNP-BC, CNE, member of the Oncology Nursing Foundation (ONF) Board of Directors, about their experiences with board service.

Highlights From This Episode Campbell: "Joining a board was a natural next step for me to maintain my connection to bedside nursing that I've loved for so many years, and to find a way to give back to advanced practice nurses as well in this role. The Oncology Nursing Society and Foundation were especially meaningful for me because I knew firsthand the importance of having scholarship, research, funding, and leadership development programs that can really change the trajectory of a nurse's career. I realized I wanted to help shape the opportunities that were available to me for future nurses, and I just did not want to continue to do that through one-on-one mentorships, which I have done extensively throughout my career, but find a way to help more broadly toward guiding organizational mission and strategic objectives." TS 7:20 Green: "Everyone was so welcoming on the board. Everyone was so friendly. One of the first things I remember our executive director Tony Ellis telling me is, 'Most of our new board members are really quiet and reserved at our first meeting. They just kind of keep things to themselves. They don't ask a lot of questions.' I don't know if they were prepared for me because I came in with guns a-blazing, and I had lots of questions. I was not quiet. I was very involved and very vocal. I still am, but that was one of the best experiences ever. Before that, I had never really been in a board setting other than my local chapter, and even then, I was just starting to be in that setting because I was the president of my local chapter and on the [ONCC] Board of Directors at the same time." TS 10:29 Ferguson: "A nonclinical mentor I would absolutely identify would be Alec Stone, who used to be the ONS director of public affairs. … He helped me to learn a lot about health policy and advocacy and the impact a nurse's voice can have. Learning how to speak about my experiences in health care in public by doing programs like the Nurses in Washington Internship … or ONS's Capitol Hill Days ended up giving me a lot more confidence that I didn't know I would have in expressing my point of view and being very open and collegial and expressing my opinions. … This really lent itself well to my future board experience because, as Cassandra mentioned, board members have to speak their mind and speak up at the meetings." TS 12:11 Campbell: "One of the most unexpected benefits was when I reached out to my executive leadership team at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins and said, 'I'm being considered to serve on the ONF Board. This is going to require me taking time away from work to attend meetings, to attend some in-person meetings. And then it would be really wonderful at the institution if I'm able to also financially impact the nurses who need to benefit from what I've benefited from in my career.' Usually when you have those conversations, you are expecting to present a deck of PowerPoint slides to make your case, but the answer from my leadership team in participating in ONF and supporting the Board was an immediate yes. It was 'Yes, when can you start? Yes, what can we do to support you?' And really making sure that I had dedicated time to be fully present." TS 14:15 Ferguson: "There are many skills and experiences that can lend themselves to being a strong board member. … The ability to speak your mind clearly and express your thoughts, which really boils down to strong communication skills. We are lucky in our careers. We all have worked as nurses in different settings and health care, and nurses are naturally skilled and good at communication. We learn strategies like SBAR—situation, background assessment, recommendation. Nurses every day are communicating in their places of work, oftentimes with patients who are sick and need education, or perhaps with new nurses they're teaching or mentoring. And they are communicating with non-nurses, as well, and nonpatients, so clinical roles and nonclinical roles. So nurses already have a good understanding of best practices when it comes to communication, and this can lend itself well to any board position." TS 21:04 Green: "When you [come into a] leadership role, I think that's when we learn most about ourselves and what we expect. And be the leader type of leader that you want to be and the type of leader that you would like to work with so that you can make your experience valuable and pleasurable." TS 28:57

What separates a strong nurse anesthesia applicant from someone who simply looks impressive on paper? In this episode of Airway Exchange, Erin and Louisa sit down with Leah Gordon, DNP, APRN, CRNA, program director and assistant professor in the Nurse Anesthesiology Program at St. Mary's University of Minnesota and author of The Provider Mindset: A Complete Guide to Becoming a Competitive Nurse Anesthesiology Applicant. Together, they explore what educators are really looking for during the admissions process and why GPA, ICU experience, shadowing hours, and a polished interview only tell part of the story. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

Decentralized clinical Trials (DCTs) bring some or all elements of a clinical trial closer to patients. Consent, screening, treatment administration, and more can be administered through digital technologies and local health care providers, expanding accessibility for patients who face barriers to participation in traditional single site trials. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Erin Pierce, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, Associate Clinical Investigator and Nurse Practitioner at HonorHealth Research Institute, and Kristen Kipping-Johnsson, MPH, Director of Network Research Operations at the University of Chicago, about how each of their cancer programs are approaching DCT implementation. Their discussion explores how decentralized components, such as community-based treatment delivery, centralized research infrastructure, and hybrid trial designs, can increase participation opportunities for patients in both community and academic settings. Guests: Erin Pierce, MSN, APRN, FNP-C Associate Clinical Investigator Nurse Practitioner HonorHealth Research Institute Scottsdale, AZ   Kristen Kipping-Johnson, MPH Director of Network Research Operations University of Chicago Chicago, IL "APPs are really poised to step into that role [of investigator] and help, not take the place of physicians, but work alongside our physician colleagues and enable us to expand the abilities of research." —Erin Pierce, MSN, APRN, FNP-C "Quality of life, being able to keep patients treated closer to home, allow them to stay with the physician that diagnosed them...Those are the things that are really important to me when it comes to decentralization." —Kristen Kipping-Johnson, MPH Resources HonorHealth Research Institute's First Steps to Approaching Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs) University of Chicago's Path to Operationalizing Decentralized Phase 1 Trials Across a Regional Network ACCC's Community Oncology Research Institute White Paper: Bringing Cancer Research to the Community:  Strategic Approaches to Representative Oncology Clinical Trial Design This podcast was created in partnership with the Decentralized Trials & Research Alliance, with support from Eli Lilly and Company, Gilead Sciences, and Merck.

"Measurable residual disease is where I think the terminology fits best in that, it is intended to measure the amount of cancer cells that are present in the blood or bone marrow at the time the sample was collected. We can identify one cancer cell in a million. Where that can be really valuable is when we start to think about the duration of treatments and the response to some of our treatments," ONS member Caitilin Murphy, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, AOCNP®, chief nurse practitioner at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treatment considerations for oncology nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "Blood work is a really nice way to evaluate if there is progression of the disease. And we evaluate their blood counts, specifically that complete blood count with a differential. We anticipate an elevated white count, and we anticipate that the absolute lymphocyte count is going to be elevated. That's characteristic of the disease. But what evolves and happens is that those numbers can rapidly change and what we get concerned about is if that white count—and the percentage of the absolute lymphocyte count specifically—starts to increase and double quickly." TS 5:52 "There are some components that help clinicians decide if we expect these things, this cadence of change to happen more readily, or if we feel really comfortable that the biology of the variants contributing to the type of CLL that each patient may have, they may not have that progression as quickly or at all. And so that kind of helps us in that follow-up and cadence. Oftentimes, we're checking blood work every three or six months. Some patients are on an annual interval of visits depending on that active surveillance. I think the other piece is that we have a relatively low threshold when there is a change in symptoms to just recheck those blood tests. It's nice that we can have a pretty readily available blood test to be able to give us a lot of information for these patients." TS 9:45 "When we think about CLL therapy, the old tried and true [treatments] still work: so, rituximab and obinutuzumab. And then we kind of start to think about pathways and the way, the mechanisms of which these treatments are integrated. We think about different pathways of how we can induce cell death, but also what are the potential side effects? What are the potential interactions?" TS 19:35 "I think a lot of this is about really having a clear understanding of the patient's goals and really being able to understand and align. I think we have a lot more data to provide guidance for those patients that really are wanting to know: What is my chance of overall survival? If I do this, does this mean that I don't need to ever be on treatment again? If I do it this way, does it mean that I have to come into clinic every week, or does it mean that I have to come in every week but I'm done? I do one year of treatment, and I don't have to think about treatment for a really long time based on some of these components that we can take into consideration." TS 24:36 "When we think about the B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitors, with venetoclax, I think the biggest component we think about is tumor lysis syndrome. It's so effective that these cancer cells release all of those electrolytes, potassium, phosphorus; you can see a rise in the lactate dehydrogenase and uric acid because those cells are breaking down. And so subsequently, that leads us to the consideration of, is the patient's kidney function able to clear it? And so a lot of frequent lab monitoring, a lot of hydration, supportive care with medications like ursodiol or allopurinol to really improve the ability to clear that cellular waste product so that it doesn't cause an oncologic emergency." TS 34:11

In this Wellness Tech installment, Jonathan Mendoza, DC, APRN, NP-C — Nurse Doza — explains why red light panels have become a daily fixture in his clinic and his home. He covers how red and near-infrared wavelengths reach the mitochondria to support healthy ATP production, why panels deliver solar-style input without UV exposure, how he personally uses violet light to wind down at night, and what the emerging 40Hz gamma-frequency research does and does not yet show in humans. FEATURED PARTNER LightpathLED builds veteran-owned red and near-infrared light therapy panels. Nurse Doza uses one daily and highlights this brand specifically because it offers more than a single red setting — it includes violet-spectrum output and adjustable frequency, including a 40Hz option he notes he hasn't found on other consumer panels.

Start your free trial: https://www.schoolofdoza.com --- 5 Key Takeaways 1. Red and near-infrared light interact with your mitochondria, not just your skin.These wavelengths are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase in the electron transport chain, which supports healthy ATP production — the mechanism researchers call photobiomodulation. 2. A panel delivers solar-style light input without the UV load.Most people spend the majority of daylight hours indoors under light their cells don't recognize. Red light panels are one way to add that input without the burn risk that comes with UV exposure. 3. Panels are low-friction to use. No undressing required — Nurse Doza sits in front of his and lets it hit his forehead. He uses sessions in the two-to-five-minute range as his own personal routine, not a prescribed protocol. 4. Violet light sits at the opposite end of the visible spectrum from red. Nurse Doza reports using violet output in the evening as part of his wind-down. This is his subjective experience — violet-specific calming effects are not yet well established in the peer-reviewed literature. 5. The 40Hz frequency setting is an area of active research, not settled science. Gamma-frequency entrainment at 40Hz has been studied for its effects on brain activity, but the most-cited amyloid findings are from animal models and have published author corrections. Interesting, worth following — not a treatment.

Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) continue to garner the interest of both academic and community cancer centers due to their rapid growth in FDA approvals and increasing use in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. However, practical considerations such as treatment-related toxicities, choosing the right delivery model, and staffing constraints deter many programs from attempting to implement BsAbs. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with 2026 ACCC Innovator Award winner Kate Kennedy, MSN, APRN, ACNP-BC, AOCNP, an Outpatient Hematology Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Team Lead at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, about her program's APP-led BsAb step-up dosing clinic. With APPs at the helm, this model enables efficient and specialty-expert management of therapies while optimizing physician resources. In addition, its adherence to step-up dosing protocols prioritizes patient safety and convenience while reducing inpatient resource utilization. "[It's important to look] at what you need to spend money on, [make] sure that you're spending money on the right things, and then [look] for areas like space and staff that maybe have capacity that you can utilize in a little bit of a different way to deliver this care." – Kathryn Kennedy, MSN, APRN, ACNP-BC, AOCNP Guest: Kathryn Kennedy, MSN, APRN, ACNP-BC, AOCNPOutpatient Hematology APP Team Lead Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center Nashville, Tennessee Resources: ACCC 43rd National Oncology Conference 2026 ACCC Innovator Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center Blog: An APP-Led Outpatient Bispecific Antibody Clinic Podcast: APPs Paving the Way in Leadership Blog: Maximizing the Role of APPs in Oncology Care Blog: Bispecific Antibodies Are Moving Forward; So Are the Implementation Questions

What if one of the greatest gifts we can give a baby in the NICU isn't something we give to the baby at all—but something we give to their parents?In this episode of the Empowering NICU Parents Podcast, host Nicole Nyberg, MSN, APRN, NNP-BC, is joined by Lisa Kleinz, MA, CCC-SLP, Director of Education at Dr. Brown's Medical, and former NICU parent Liz Barker for an inspiring conversation about the Infant-Driven Feeding® (IDF) Program and how it transforms the NICU experience for babies, families, and care teams.While feeding is at the center of the discussion, this episode is about so much more than breastfeeding or bottles. Lisa explains how the Infant-Driven Feeding® Program is an evidence-based, family-centered developmental care approach that teaches parents and clinicians to recognize and respond to each baby's unique cues, creating positive feeding experiences while promoting safer feeding practices, stronger parent-infant relationships, and improved outcomes.Liz shares the remarkable story of her daughter, Lucy, who was born at just 28 weeks' gestation. She candidly discusses the fear, guilt, and uncertainty she experienced as a NICU parent, and how one nurse's intentional teaching—supported by a family-centered unit culture—helped her move from feeling like an observer to becoming an active, confident caregiver. By learning Lucy's cues, participating in her care from the very beginning, and focusing on positive feeding experiences rather than volume alone, Liz not only gained confidence as a parent but also went on to exclusively breastfeed Lucy after her discharge from the NICU until she was two years old.Together, Nicole, Lisa, and Liz explore why intentionally educating and including parents from day one is one of the most powerful interventions in neonatal care—and why empowering parents ultimately benefits babies for a lifetime.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why the Infant-Driven Feeding® Program is about much more than feeding• How cue-based, developmental care creates safer feeding experiences• The importance of intentionally educating and empowering NICU parents• Why a shared Infant-Driven Feeding® Program language creates consistency, trust, and parent confidence• Why positive feeding experiences matter more than volume alone• The evidence behind family-centered, cue-based feeding—including improved breastfeeding outcomes, greater parent confidence, and positive developmental outcomes• One family's inspiring journey from uncertainty to confidenceThis episode is sponsored by Dr. Brown's Medical, whose Infant-Driven Feeding® Program is helping NICUs create positive feeding experiences by partnering with families, following each baby's cues, and supporting evidence-based, family-centered developmental care from hospital to home.Dr. Brown's Medical: https://www.drbrownsmedical.com  The Infant-Driven Feeding™ (IDF) Program: https://www.infantdrivenfeeding.com/ Our NICU Roadmap: A Comprehensive NICU Journal: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicujournal/  NICU Mama Hats: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/  NICU Milestone Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicuproducts/  Newborn Holiday Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shop/  Empowering NICU Parents Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shownotes/  Episode 82 Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode82  Empowering NICU Parents Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/ Empowering NICU Parents FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparents  Pinterest Page: https://pin.it/36MJjmHThank you for listening to the Empowering NICU Parents Podcast.

Type 2 diabetes may be the diagnosis—but what if it is also a symptom of deeper problems affecting the body?In this episode of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley speaks with Dr. Jade Guerra about the functional medicine approach to Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's disease, autoimmune conditions, environmental toxins, nutrition, sleep, and chronic illness.Dr. Guerra is both a Doctor of Chiropractic and a Family Nurse Practitioner with nearly 35 years of experience. Instead of applying the same treatment plan to every patient, she investigates the individual metabolic, hormonal, digestive, environmental, and lifestyle factors that may be interfering with that person's health.She explains why a diagnosis often develops years—or even decades—before it is discovered and why simply controlling a laboratory number may not address the underlying cause.DR.

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy is with Denise Kruszynski, a board-certified functional medicine nurse practitioner at the Institute for Neuro Immune Medicine, to talk about what is broken in modern healthcare, why complex chronic illness patients keep falling through the cracks, and what can actually be done about it. Denise brings 25 years of clinical experience, including a decade in a level one trauma ICU, to a conversation that is both practical and urgent. She walks through why 15-minute primary care visits make root cause medicine structurally impossible, why specialist appointments offer more time but still only look at one system in a body where everything is connected, and why functional medicine, what she calls primary care 3.0, is the tier of care most patients with chronic illness have never had access to. She also gives our community something concrete: if you feel stuck and don't know where to start, write your life down. The answers are often already in your story. You just need space and someone who will ask the right questions. If you have been dismissed, rushed, or told your labs are fine when something clearly is not, this episode of Fast Metabolism Matters is your permission slip to expect more.  If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.

Item analysis can sound intimidating, especially for educators who were trained as clinicians first and teachers second. But when used well, it can become one of the most valuable tools for improving assessments, clarifying instruction, and supporting student success. In this episode of Airway Exchange, hosts Erin and Louisa welcome in Valerie Diaz, DNP, CRNA, PMHNP-BC, APRN, CNE, CHSE, FAANA, CAPT (Ret), USN and Pedro Hernandez, DNP, CRNA, APRN to break down the importance of item analysis, a topic they presented at AANA's EDGE event earlier this year. Just as CRNAs constantly refine their clinical practice, educators should continually evaluate, reflect, and improve the tools they use to assess learning. Better assessments lead to better education. Better education ultimately leads to better patient care. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

"What I appreciate about our patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic leukemia is the consideration that they receive a cancer diagnosis, and the best thing for them to do is actually nothing. There is a large population of patients that we don't recommend any type of treatment. We recommend that they establish care with an oncologist and that they have a relationship with those care teams," ONS member Caitilin Murphy, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, AOCNP®, chief nurse practitioner at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about an overview of CLL for oncology nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "Some of the common risk factors are environmental exposures, occupational exposures, and chemical exposures. For example, in certain farming communities where there are pesticides, that can definitely contribute to the risk of developing CLL. There's some consideration for high levels of radon exposure or exposure to Agent Orange. So our veterans, both from the Vietnam War but also more recently in Iraq. There's definitely a consideration that those types of exposures increase the risk of developing CLL." TS 3:01 "Generally, the average age of diagnosis for CLL is in the seventh decade of life. But over 90% of people are diagnosed at age 50 and above. So, this tends to be a diagnosis in the six or seventh decade of life. It's extremely rare in children, although it has been observed, and it's twice as likely to develop in men than it is compared to women. And then individuals who are White are more frequently affected by CLL than other racial or ethnic groups, followed by people of color. And that includes Black, Hispanic, and Native American individuals, but it's rarer in Asian populations." TS 9:33  "There's a lot of adjustment and coping with a new diagnosis. When we think about the diagnostic approach, we get a lot of information that's incredibly valuable and helps us really to pivot and guide patients as to where they need to go and how we can best support them. We've had well-established studies that look to say, 'If we were to treat patients earlier or have different thresholds for consideration for treatment, do patients do better?' ... I think it's really great that we can actually guide patients in a much more precise way, that you don't need any type of therapy at this point, and it may change and evolve in the future." TS 20:29 "I have some patients that are doers and they want to do something, so this active surveillance or watch and wait really paralyzes their coping. And so they want to do something. Oftentimes, that's really when I pull in some integrative strategies and say exercise is always going to be beneficial. The more active you are, the more physically fit you are. If you really want to do something, make sure that you stay hydrated, that you eat well, and you're engaged in a physical activity that you enjoy and can be consistent with." TS 32:37 "I think another piece that we don't often discuss is around the immunoglobulins and the immune system, but CLL has a pretty significant impact on immune dysfunction. And so patients with CLL, even if they are not on any type of active treatment, their immune system doesn't necessarily function fully. And so they're more likely to develop some upper respiratory infections or more easily develop the flu or coronavirus. ... Often times, we think a lot about supporting patients to get vaccines and to have early evaluation if those symptoms develop because you're more likely to develop upper respiratory infections. I think there's a component around immune dysfunction that I think is really valuable for people to understand that it's not contingent upon the treatment. It's contingent upon the disease and mechanistically, how the B cells are dysfunctional and don't provide that immunity that otherwise would be in a healthy B cell." TS 42:54

Episode Summary For thirty years, neonatal nurse practitioner Tara Sundem watched newborns go through opioid withdrawal under bright lights, separated from their mothers, and for a long time she believed those mothers had brought it on themselves. Then she learned what she had been missing, and she set out to build the opposite of what she had been part of. As co-founder and executive director of Hushabye Nursery in Phoenix, she now cares for substance-exposed babies and their mothers together, treating the two as one patient. She talks with host Micaela Tracy about the night a baby in withdrawal changed her mind, why dignity is a clinical intervention and not a nicety, how she partners with the Department of Child Safety instead of against it, and what families navigating addiction and recovery actually need. Her message holds for anyone who has ever judged a parent from the outside: this is a brain disease, not a choice, and the earliest moments of a child's life can shape everything that follows.

The Diagnosis Your Doctor Is Too Afraid to Make You've been depressed, exhausted, foggy, and in pain for years. You've tried the antidepressants. You've done the workups. Everything comes back normal. But you are not normal. You are not well. And nobody can tell you why. What if it's Lyme? Dr. Terri sits down with Pamela Cipriano, DNP, APRN — a functional medicine and Lyme disease specialist who trained under one of the country's leading Lyme experts — to have the conversation most conventional doctors won't. From a teenager who spent two years in a psychiatric facility before anyone thought to test him for Lyme, to the political reality that doctors in Texas can be reported to their board just for making the diagnosis — this episode exposes why one of the most common tick-borne diseases in the country is also one of the most misdiagnosed. The symptoms of Lyme overlap almost perfectly with depression, anxiety, hormone imbalance, autoimmune disease, and neurological disorders. That's not a coincidence. It's a diagnostic crisis. If you've been chasing answers and hitting walls, this episode is for you. What you'll discover: Why the standard two-tier Lyme test misses the majority of cases and what patients should be asking for instead [12:23] How Lyme can hide in the body for decades before a stressful event triggers full-blown symptoms [06:09] The teenager misdiagnosed with a psychiatric disorder who spent two years institutionalized before anyone tested him for Lyme [20:19] Why doctors in Texas risk board complaints just for diagnosing Lyme disease and what that means for medical freedom [08:18] How Lyme symptoms overlap with hormone deficiency, creating a compounding diagnostic blind spot [31:15] Co-infections like Bartonella and Babesia: what they are, why most doctors aren't testing for them, and how they change the treatment picture [28:15] The connection between Lyme, mold toxicity, and chronic illness and why the best providers look at all of it together [33:47] How to find a provider trained to properly test and treat Lyme when only a few hundred specialists exist in the entire country [39:14] You are not crazy.

"We typically think of the disease progressing for our higher-risk patients because many of them already start with increased blasts or a lot of dysplasia. And they have these chromosomal variants that make them prone to evolving into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). With them, we can anticipate that they are going to progress to AML. And that's what we're trying to prevent. It's kind of like a biologic evolution and not a switch," ONS member Sara Tinsley-Vance, PhD, APRN, AOCN®, nurse practitioner and quality-of-life researcher at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about long-term myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) considerations for oncology nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "When our higher-risk patients have disease-related progression, their [malignancy] can transform to AML. And we know this occurs in about one-third of our patients and is one of the most serious late effects. Even in lower-risk disease, we have this worsening marrow failure with or without increasing blast, where [patients] may have just started out with anemia, then they also develop neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. And as those counts worsen, we usually know that their disease is progressing." TS 2:47 "The golden rule is looking at the blood count but also looking at the patient and how they're doing over time. The backbone of MDS monitoring is the complete blood cell count with the differential. What you're looking for is trends over time. How many units of blood are they receiving, what threshold are you going to transfuse them at, and how many units of blood are they getting at a time? ... And then paying attention to the absolute neutrophil count for infection risk. [Another] really important piece of when you look at the differential with patients is seeing if they have any abnormal cell counts. Do they have circulating blasts? Are those monocytes going up? If you start to see blasts circulating or increasing monocytes, then their disease could be changing, even if they have low-risk disease." TS 15:58 "For lower-risk disease, we're paying more attention to their quality of life, how the patient's tolerating therapy, trying to help them stay safe over the long haul, and starting them on iron chelation if it matches that patient and they can have access to those drugs. ... For higher-risk disease, if the patient's goal is to be cured and not to progress to AML, you want to get them to transplant if that's [also] one of their goals. If they do evolve into AML, try and see what treatment matches best for them." TS 22:28 "You want to start early for patients who have febrile neutropenia—that's really important when a patient is an hour or two away from a center where they can get started on antibiotics. So, you have to think outside the box. What can we do to keep them safe? ... I know this group in Alaska that's in our advisory meetings and they try to facilitate transportation to Seattle. That's the closest academic center to them. Collaborating with telemedicine appointments, starting earlier, developing that strong relationship with patients, and contacting them between visits [can help patients living in rural areas]." TS 25:22 "I think the biggest [psychosocial challenge] I see is a lot of unmet anxiety and depression counseling. A lot of times, [patients are] losing their place in their family because they're the ones that need all the help now. Also, the uncertainty that goes along with the diagnosis. There is communication skills counseling, and End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) has a lot of training for communication skills and how to really talk to patients. Not that we take the place of a psychologist, but just being able to talk to somebody can go a long way. And if we can get training for that, we can help more patients." TS 31:15

GLP-1 medications have become one of the most talked-about tools in health and weight loss, but are we having the right conversation? In this episode, I sit down with Olivia Stivers, a Family Nurse Practitioner with a background in both primary care and nutrition-focused health optimization, to discuss the realities of GLP-1 medications.Together, we explore: Who GLP-1 medications may be appropriate for, and who they may not be  The risks of chasing rapid weight loss without addressing underlying health  Muscle loss, metabolism, and long-term body composition concerns  Why nutrition, strength training, and lifestyle habits still matter  What patients need to know before starting, during use, and when coming off these medications  The unintended downstream side effects of these medications**This is not a pro-GLP-1 or anti-GLP-1 conversation. It's a nuanced discussion about informed decision-making, sustainable health, and helping people understand the full picture before they jump on the latest trends. Follow Olivia on IG: @ewellness_officeVisit Elivate Wellness online: https://www.elivatewellness.com/ Ready to go deeper?If you're a woman over 40 who feels like you're doing everything right, but your body still isn't responding the way it used to...this is exactly the work I do.My coaching is built around identifying what's keeping your body stuck, rebuilding the environment your hormones need to function, and creating a strategy you can actually execute long enough for it to work.You don't need more random inputs.You need a body that can respond to the right ones.CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE!Join me on Instagram!

A broken heart is never just emotional—it can become deeply physical. Nurse practitioner Jessica Love shares her powerful journey from ICU nurse to patient after experiencing stress-induced cardiomyopathy, also known as "broken heart syndrome," during her clinical training. What began as subtle symptoms of fatigue and chest pressure quickly escalated into a life-threatening cardiac event, reshaping everything she thought she knew about stress, health, and healing.  Her recovery became a turning point, shifting her focus from treating disease in the ICU to preventing it through whole-person care. In this conversation with Dr. Michelle Robin and Bayleigh Soza, Jessica explores how chronic stress impacts the heart, why women's symptoms are often missed, and how nervous system regulation, awareness, and daily habits can transform long-term heart health.  Key Takeaways:   Broken heart syndrome can occur unexpectedly when chronic or emotional stress overwhelms the body, even in young and healthy individuals.   Stress often shows up physically before it is emotionally recognized, with symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and reduced energy.   The heart and nervous system are deeply connected, meaning emotional regulation directly influences cardiovascular health and resilience.   Women's heart symptoms are frequently subtle and can be overlooked, making awareness of early warning signs especially important.   Daily practices like gratitude, movement, sleep, nutrition, and nervous system regulation can significantly support long-term heart health and prevention.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Thank you for helping us promote connection, well-being, and stronger communities.

She has a nursing background in critical care at a Level 1 trauma center and experience as a nurse practitioner in both inpatient and outpatient cardiology. Jessica blends conventional medicine with functional and lifestyle-based approaches to support long-term health and wellness. Her education and clinical experience allow her to support patients through personalized strategies including nutrition, movement, and lifestyle interventions.  Inspired by both professional experience and her own nearly fatal cardiac event, Jessica is deeply committed to helping others understand the mind-body connection and address the underlying drivers of chronic disease and inflammation. As a certified HeartMath Coach she incorporates nervous system regulation into her care, helping patients build resilience, reduce stress, and create an internal environment that supports overall well-being. Her goal is to help others repair, rebuild, and rebalance their health, fostering sustainable, meaningful shifts that promote lasting vitality and well-being.  Jessica enjoys traveling, gardening, cooking healthy meals, running, community, and spending time with her husband and her French Bulldog named Beau.  Connect with Jessica Love at:  https://rootedheartkc.com/   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  https://www.youtube.com/@smallchangesbigshiftsco    Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!
