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. If you're looking for trusted financial wellbeing resources, we invite you to connect with their team and take the next step toward greater financial confidence.  About Jessica Love:  Jessica Love, APRN, FNP-C, is a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in a whole-person, root-cause approach to cardiometabolic health and nervous system regulation. 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.

"When you have benign conditions, we're actually treating 3 gray, so a significant difference [versus doses of 60 gray for brain cancer]. Typically, when you treat at a high dose, the goal is to destroy tissue, like cancer tissue or cancer cells. But when we give a low dose, the goal is actually to modulate inflammation. And what it does is it slows down those inflammatory cells or those cells that release the chemicals that cause pain and inflammation," Amanda Meyer, DNP, APRN, CNP, family nurse practitioner in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about radiation therapy for noncancer indications.

Highlights From This Episode "We always typically think of it as cancer treatment, but we can use radiation for noncancerous conditions, as well. And radiation was actually used for benign diseases right after the discovery of x-rays. By the 1920s it was used a lot for different types of musculoskeletal, dermatologic issues, and different types of inflammatory conditions. And over time, since the 1920s, we've actually really gotten a really good understanding of it." TS 1:37 "When we're looking at what are good candidate characteristics, we do typically like older patients, so patients over the age of 65. And the rationale behind that is we know that there is a potential for a secondary risk of a skin cancer about 20 to 30 years after getting low-dose radiation, like a basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer. The older the patient is, the less likely they are to have any adverse effects from that." TS 8:22 "When we do the low-dose radiation, they've tried other measures that haven't been successful. However, we don't want a patient who is so severe that they're ready for surgery, when they're bone on bone, because we know that radiation isn't as effective when they are that severe. So there's this sweet window where low-dose radiation works best in these patients." TS 9:39 "When we're treating with a little bit higher dose for like a Dupuytren's or a Ledderhose, because it's an anti-proliferative dose, those patients, they do get more skin redness, more dry skin. That's very temporary, and it resolves within a week or two after treatment. But really, we don't see any acute side effects. The long-term side effect of the radiation-induced malignancy, again, is a very low—0.05% according to some of the European guidelines." TS 12:34 "I really wish people appreciated how interdisciplinary this is. We need to get referrals from family medicine and from primary care and internal medicine and pain medicine physicians and inflammatory physicians and podiatry and pain specialists. And we really need to use this multidisciplinary approach to get earlier referrals for patients because there is this sweet window of time where low-dose radiation works the best." TS 18:40

Highlights From This Episode "The goals that I try to consolidate to make sure they're consistent with the patient's goals are to improve their counts, especially the anemia or cytopenias. If they're getting blood transfusions, we want to reduce the number of transfusions that they receive because we know that's linked to reduced overall survival, and it really impacts quality of life. ... And then for high-risk patients, it's a more serious discussion because we know that they are the ones who can progress to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). And we're trying to delay progression to AML. That means we're trying to improve their survival and we're also trying to manage their cytopenias and decrease their infection risk." TS 2:28 "If we look at approvals for low-risk disease and high-risk disease, those were really made based on the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) and sometimes the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS). Under those classification systems, when we think of lower-risk MDS, we think of patients who are primarily anemic but don't have increased blasts in their bone marrow. ... For higher-risk MDS, we want to have that discussion with those patients because their life expectancy is much shorter than patients with lower-risk MDS. We want to see if hematopoietic stem cell transplant would be something that they would be interested in if they don't have a lot of comorbidities and are relatively healthy." TS 11:41 "There are a lot of things to consider—[patients'] blood counts, comorbidities, whether they're frail, and what their goals are. There are some patients where there's no way they would want to go through transplant. And some patients want to be cured, so it just depends on your patient." TS 14:22 "I think of hematopoietic allogeneic transplants as a treatment for more of the patients with higher-risk MDS. ... With the Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-M), a patient can have pretty good blood counts and not have increased blasts in the bone marrow. You could send them for a transplant referral upfront without having to give them additional treatment. ... There is a recent publication that said if a patient doesn't have more than 10% blast, you could refer to transplant as a first option. ... Also, if you had a lower-risk patient who is relatively young and doesn't have any other treatment options, this would also be a patient that you could refer to transplant to see if we could care for them, and then they wouldn't have to be getting transfused all the time." TS 21:12 "I think that we often think low-risk, no treatment needed, but it depends on the person. They often need ongoing supportive care to manage their symptoms even if they're not getting treatment. And just because we're not treating them, active observation, bringing them in to see how they're doing, if they've had infections, if their blood counts are changing, that is paying attention to them and doing something. Just because they're low-risk doesn't mean they don't need anything and we can just schedule for a one-year follow-up." TS 26:30

In this conversation, Cade Archibald sits down with inventor and author John Jaquish, PhD to discuss his background in fitness-adjacent tech and why he believes “variable resistance” training changes how people think about workouts. They trade perspectives on popular biohacking topics—like peptides, appetite control, and testosterone products—while emphasizing personal experimentation, training mechanics, and the challenges of separating hype from real-world outcomes. Along the way, Jaquish shares the origin story behind his projects (including OsteoStrong and X3), describes the training principles he promotes, and points listeners toward where they can explore his work online.Check out Jaquish Biomedical and their home gym here! https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-101633148-15734952Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/X3BarUsersGroupFollow Dr. Jaquish here:*YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@JaquishBiomedical*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjaquish/John Jaquish, PhD: After developing the worlds, most effective medical device for bone density generation, as well as a strength training system that's more effective for gaining muscle and strength than anything previous and used by some of the worlds greatest athletes (NBA, NFL, and Olympic).

The healthcare system is flatlining, and it's time for a professional resuscitation. This Nursing Week, join Dr. Danielle McCamey and Gloria E. Barrera for a heavy-hitting breakdown of the HESS framework—Humanity, Ethics, Social Justice, and Science—as the ultimate toolkit for systemic reform. From the grassroots power of Nurses Shift Change to the national Report for Duty call to action, we explore how to move beyond the bedside to fight for environmental justice, primary care, and safe working conditions. We are done paying the price for a profit-first system; it is time to stop working the shift and start being the change. Inside This Episode: The HESS Framework: Why merging social justice with clinical science is the future of nursing. Nurses Shift Change: How grassroots movements are mobilizing the workforce to demand better working conditions. Political Power: Why nurses must engage in policy and advocacy to fix a broken healthcare system. The Retention Crisis: Addressing the unique challenges facing young nurses and how to prevent "ethical injuries" in the workplace. Collective Action: The roadmap for nurses to unite and demand better outcomes for both patients and practitioners. Nurses are the backbone of healthcare, but systemic barriers often stifle their voices. This episode is a call to action for every nurse, student, and healthcare advocate to pivot from "coping" to "changing." "It's not just about surviving the shift; it's about changing the shift."

"Not every patient with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is going to progress and die. Only 10%–20% of them will evolve into acute myeloid leukemia. And not all of them need blood transfusions. Some present with low platelet count. It's not just people who are anemic that have MDS—it's different depending on what type of MDS they have. These are averages. We're giving you statistics based on averages, and you're an individual, so we want to treat you as an individual," 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 myelodysplastic syndrome.

You have myeloid and lymphoid, and then on the myeloid side, you make your white blood cells, your red blood cells, and your platelets. And during that maturation process, there's this problem that arises. It's called a clonal variation. Or something goes wrong as the cells go through that process year after year. It's called ineffective hematopoiesis. ... That process of becoming mature, functioning cells, arising from that hematopoietic stem cell is broken, and this leads to low blood counts. Usually, it's anemia, so the hemoglobin is low. You can see that the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is really high, and those are clues that a patient might have MDS—anemia with a high MCV." TS 3:05 "The International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) was the first way that we staged MDS into lower-risk and higher-risk disease. Now we have the IPSS-R, which is the revised system. And that was intended to be a way of classifying patients into lower-risk or higher-risk disease, where we talked about the goals being different. And it's really looking at the depth of the cytopenias, so how low are those neutrophils? How low is the hemoglobin and the platelet level? What percentage of blast does the patient have in their bone marrow? [This] gauges whether they have lower-risk or higher-risk disease. And now that we have the Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-M), we also take into account the variants that a patient has and that can really change whether you think they have lower-risk or higher-risk disease." TS 8:46 "During a person's lifetime, if they were a heavy smoker, we always think of lung cancer, but it can actually predispose a person to MDS. If they worked heavily in chemicals. I can remember more than one patient who worked for pesticide companies. Repeated exposure to these things that can affect our blood cells cumulatively, they can make a person more prone to MDS. Also, patients who have family members who have had bone marrow problems." TS 13:39 "The way I explain it to patients who say, 'What does dysplasia mean?' I say, 'Well, if you had a picture of a face. If the cell has too many eyes, or one eye above the other or below the other, or too many ears, or they're just disfigured. They don't look right and they don't mature normally.' And so, the descriptions I frequently see are nuclear budding and micromegakaryocytes. Once you read a lot of the reports, you start to pick out, 'Okay, these are the terms that go along with dysplastic red blood cells or dysplastic megakaryocytes,' which are your precursors to platelets." TS 21:28 "The cytogenetics and the variants—that's a hard concept to explain to patients. And staying current on how we understand the disease and how it evolves. Now we have pre-MDS states called clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance. That was new to me. And then clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate significance. And some of those clones have other healthcare problems that go along with them." TS 30:52

In this episode, the speaker reframes longevity as an ongoing skill set shaped by consistent daily behaviors rather than one-time solutions. The discussion emphasizes a proactive, data-informed approach to health, encouraging individuals to track patterns such as energy, recovery, sleep, and nutrition to better understand how their bodies respond over time. Rather than focusing on perfection or quick fixes, the conversation highlights the value of gradual improvement, adaptability, and long-term habit formation. Key themes include the role of lifestyle foundations like movement, nutrition, sleep, and stress management, as well as the use of tools such as wearables and lab testing to monitor trends. Overall, the episode promotes a systems-based perspective on well-being, where small, consistent actions compound to support performance and quality of life over time.RESOURCES:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Many of the molecules discussed in this video are research compounds and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any specific medical use, indication, or condition.

Highlights From This Episode "In the 1990s, tumor-focused procedures such as embolization and ablation began to emerge, marking a shift toward oncologic applications. The 2000s saw rapid technologic advancements that expanded the scope and volume of oncology-directed interventions, including vascular access device placement, liver-directed transcatheter therapies for tumor control, and more sophisticated ablation modalities. Today, interventional oncology, or IO, extends beyond procedural work, encompassing comprehensive clinical care through dedicated IO clinics that support patient consultations, treatment planning, and postprocedure follow-up." TS 1:50 "In the immediate postprocedure phase, the IO nurse plays a critical role in patient safety in education, and oftentimes it may not be the same nurse that's caring for the patient in the procedural environment versus the postprocedural environment. But the role is really about continuous need to assess the patient's comfort level, to ensure that there is hemodynamic stability of the patient while closely monitoring for complications such as bleeding at the access site—of course, depending on the procedure—if there's any hematoma formation or changes in vital signs, or if there's any pain that needs to be addressed. Most importantly is maintaining patient safety in that immediate phase after the procedure." TS 8:07 "Before an IO procedure, both teams really must review the patient's clinical status. There has to be a clear understanding of: Is this patient ready to undergo a procedure? Is there any necessary imaging that needs to be done, as well as laboratory review and any systemic treatments, that may affect procedural planning? And oftentimes, in my experience, really, the oncology nurses are the ones really speaking with each other based on what the decision has been from both teams working together and communicating this to the patient." TS 13:49 "I think the oncology nurse needs to assess the patient's baseline understanding of interventional oncology. I often began my visits with a simple, open-ended question, 'Tell me why you're here today.' This allowed me to gauge their knowledge of the specialty and the purpose of the visit with the IO team. And in many cases, patients were unfamiliar with interventional oncology, which meant education needed to start with an explanation of what IO is and how it fits into their cancer care journey. Once that foundation was established, I was then able to introduce information about the specific procedure and its role in their overall treatment plan. And we can work together to establish goals of care and health. Having this approach ensured patients were informed, engaged, and better prepared for the procedure ahead." TS 16:06 "As nurses explore career options, interventional oncology is definitely one to consider. It really unites technology and innovation, and I think that's where we're heading with health care, with so much advancement in research and science. There's definitely a place for oncology nurses in this space, and it would be great to see that continue to flourish." TS 24:23
