Eight years ago, I landed myself in the office of a nurse practitioner/functional medicine specialist who specialized in gut health. I had been inexplicably bloated and exhausted for months and didn't know why. Little did I know that woman would go on to not only remedy my body, but change the overall trajectory of my life and career.Flash forward to today, while she's still an expert when it comes to our bodies, our nervous systems, and how the two speak to one another, her work is primarily focused on helping folks rid themselves of codependent, people-pleasing tendencies. And candidly, all the physical issues I suffered from back in 2017 were really just a manifestation of mental and emotional turmoil. Namely, living a life that was more based on external approval than internal fulfillment.She brings a really fresh perspective to codependency, and what she refers to as "emotional outsourcing."Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina, NP, MPH, SEP (she/her) is a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, author of the forthcoming "End Emotional Outsourcing: a Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist and People Pleasing Habits" (expected Sept 30, Hachette Balance) and Breathwork Meditation Guide with a passion for helping humans socialized as women to reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems and rewire their minds, so they can break free from codependency, perfectionism and people pleasing and reclaim their joy.Work with me PrivatelyConnect on InstagramWebsitePodcast Production by James Jorge

In this deeply personal and resonant episode, longtime hospice nurse and podcast host of The Heart of Hospice, Helen Bauer, BSN RN CHPN®, shares an intimate look at the soul of hospice nursing — the part that's rarely documented but always deeply felt. With more than seven years behind the mic and a career alongside patients and families at the bedside, Helen reflects on the intimacy and intensity of hospice care, and the challenges of translating those sacred moments into clinical notes and checkboxes.  Together, we explore the personhood-centered mindset that defines exceptional hospice nursing: arriving as a blank slate, open and eager to learn who the patient is, then crafting care that honors the individual's story, values, and needs. Helen speaks candidly about the emotional toll of the work, the cumulative grief nurses carry, and the resilience it takes to keep showing up — not just for patients, but for ourselves.  Listeners will hear reflections on:  The artistry and difficulty of painting a picture through documentation  How hospice nurses excel at education and advocacy, even outside traditional care settings  What we're doing well as a community — and where we can grow  The value of Hospice Navigation Services and empowering families with information  The quiet power of showing up, day after day, with care and presence  This episode is a tribute to hospice nurses everywhere — a reminder that your work matters, your presence is powerful, and you are just as important as the care you provide.  Whether you're a hospice nurse, a health care professional, or a family member navigating end-of-life care, this episode will speak to the heart of what it means to accompany someone at life's end — with compassion, courage, and creativity.    Helen Bauer, BSN RN CHPN®  Helen Bauer is a highly experienced hospice nurse with more than 15 years dedicated to end-of-life care.

Insulin resistance is increasing in the American population especially (and surprisingly) among young women. Is this just women with PCOS? Can you have it if you don't have pre-diabetes? Can you have insulin resistance without weight concerns? Laura and I tackle this topic because it impacts so many women -- their overall health, women's health, cycles issues and infertility. We talk about how insulin resistance can impact ovulation, why balance between insulin and glucose is so important, lifestyle changes that can help, and how to know when lifestyle changes aren't doing enough. ChaptersIntroduction to Restorative Reproductive MedicineUnderstanding Insulin ResistanceInsulin Resistance and PCOS ConnectionThe Role of Insulin in Reproductive HealthManaging Insulin ResistanceDiagnosis and Treatment Options for Insulin ResistanceNOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences. Our guest, Laura Ducote, is a Family Nurse Practitioner with training in NaProTechnology and is currently a FertilityCare Practitioner at Woven Natural Fertility Care. Work with Laura at My Catholic DoctorOther episodes you might like: Ep.31: The NAPRO difference, with Laura DucoteEp.92: Glucose is for everyoneEp. 156: Using DHEA to naturally increase hormones & fertility, with Laura DucoteSend us a textSupport the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!

Send us a textMeet Lia Xiong-Ratley, a Family Nurse Practitioner, women's health advocate, and rescuer of the underdogs, literally.Lia has worn many hats over the years, from pediatric ICU to cardiothoracic surgery, but after becoming a family nurse practitioner, she has found her place at Planned Parenthood.If you think the only services offered through Planned Parenthood are contraception and abortion, you're not alone; Lia and I thought this too. However, the reality is that they provide essential services such as STD testing and treatment, cervical and breast cancer screenings, prenatal care, infertility services, vasectomies, and gender-affirming care, which Lia defines with remarkable clarity (trust me, it's more than you think).So, why did Lia become such a passionate advocate for the underserved? Her own experiences have shaped her. As the daughter of emigrants fleeing political persecution during the Vietnam War, Lia grew up advocating for her family as they rebuilt their lives as Americans. It's no surprise that she roots for the underdogs.And speaking of dogs, Lia runs a successful dog rescue through her Instagram, which initially started as a platform to showcase her travel adventures (you'll hear about those too). The dogs Lia fosters each have distinct personalities, and she has a special gift for bringing that out in them. She'll make you fall in love with each one (I know I have). In the five-minute snippet: Uh, yeah, you'll just have to hear this one for yourself.

With the right education, staff can empower frontline nurses across various serious illness service lines to make a lasting, positive impact on patient care.

Join us for an insightful episode featuring seasoned Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Meggan Mikal-DeMont DNP, APRN-FPA, PCNS-BC, CPNP-PC, CHPPN ®, FPCN® with more than10 years of experience in palliative care and pain management. In this whole-hearted interview, she reflects on her husband's nine-month experience with Stage IV colorectal cancer and offers an insider's perspective as both a palliative care clinician and caregiver- how as a couple they navigated the miracle they were hoping for within the system, how these experiences have transformed Meggan's clinical practice, and how life has unfolded since then. Listen for what the health care teams did well, areas where they could improve, and how administrators can champion hospice and palliative care services to make end of life easier for patients and their families.     Meggan Mikal DNP, APRN-FPA, PCNS-BC, CPNP-PC, CHPPN®, FPCN®Meggan Mikal-DeMont is the nurse practitioner of Pediatric Advance Care Team - Palliative & Pain at Advocate Children's Hospitals in Oak Lawn, IL.  Pursuing her interest in working with families that have children living with complex and series illnesses, Meggan has completed a fellowship in pediatric neurodevelopmental disabilities through the Illinois Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) program. She also has completed a fellowship in pediatric palliative and hospice nursing through University of Illinois in Chicago and through the Coleman Foundation. This led her to also become a board-certified pediatric hospice and palliative nurse in 2009.  Meggan, along with an interdisciplinary committee, started the Pediatric Palliative and Supportive Care program at Advocate Children's Hospital - Oak Lawn in October of 2012.  Her background as a pediatric intensive care nurse is where her love and passion for working with children with critical and chronic illness grew.  She is an End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) trainer and received that training at St. Jude's Hospital in Memphis, TN.  Meggan is an active member of the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA) where she serves on the Advocacy and Legislative Committee.

Meggan was also recently inducted as a Fellow of Palliative and Hospice Nursing (FPCN®) and is so thrilled to be recognized for her true passion and purpose to this field.   Becoming a widow and a solo parent in 2017 after her husband Andrew died from advanced colorectal cancer has only grown her passion for delivering and advocating for nothing short of the best delivery of palliative and hospice care. Meggan is blessed to be given a new chapter and now lives with her husband Nate, eight year old son Andy, bonus seven year old daughter Elizabeth, and two and a half year old rescue dog Zoey, in Plainfield.   Within palliative care, Meggan has a strong interest in the areas of patient-provider boundaries, patient and family advocacy, and the delivery of diverse, equitable, and inclusive care.   Meggan believes that caring for children with serious illnesses truly starts at the grassroots of relationships. She believes that the family is the center of the care being provided and it is a relationship built on partnership. Helping children live life to their fullest ability without burdensome symptoms is something that she strives to achieve each day.  Brett Snodgrass, DNP, FNP-C, ACHPN®, FAANP Dr. Brett Snodgrass has been a registered nurse for 28 years and a Family Nurse Practitioner for 18 years, practicing in multiple settings, including family practice, urgent care, emergency departments, administration, chronic pain and palliative medicine.

As a medical professional, you're trained in a model encouraging you to “solve” your patient's health problems. It's one thing to be able to prescribe medication for your patients and move on and another thing to integrate that with the tools that allow you to work together to figure out the drivers of their illness. Health is a skill set that your patients have to learn to integrate into their daily lives, and with the right tools, you can help them achieve that.When we shift our mindset toward helping our patients and clients practice this new paradigm of health, we also live richer, more fulfilled, healthier lives. As a women's health professional, you get to have a fully supported, life-giving life where you feel well in your body, and you can continue to do the vital work your clients need you to do.Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Dawn Allen, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Women's Health Coach certification program graduate. Dawn's story is an inspiration and a great reminder of what's possible when we shift into a collaborative model to help clients not only understand from a clinical perspective but also help them to do the healing.In this conversation, Dawn and I discuss how health coaching can integrate into clinical practice, the limitations of the conventional medical approach, why Dawn became interested in health coaching, the benefits of health coaching for patients and clinicians, the value of communication skills and holistic approaches in healthcare, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/why-becoming-a-womens-health-coach-is-the-key-to-a-fulfilling-healthier-and-wealthier-career-for-medical-professionals-fixing-healthcare-together-with-dr-dawn-allen-nurse-practitioner/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).
