Podcast Interview on Natural Allergy Elimination with Paula Vetter Your child may have obvious allergies to certain pollen's or foods, but there are many other unknown possibilities, as well. Natural allergy elimination can desensitize the body from all kinds of issues that are affecting his immune system, his brain, and much more. These compounds are in foods and chemicals found in everyday life. By getting rid of allergies the immune system is freed up to work where it is needed.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode, we explore the profound impact of Kelli Anspach MSN, CV-BC, NPD-BC, CHPN®'s thriving and sustainable training program, which has successfully trained more than 1,000 hospital nurses over the past 10 years through the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) program, founded by Betty Ferrell PhD, MSN, CHPN®. By providing nurses with the essential skills and knowledge to lead compassionate palliative care conversations, this initiative empowers staff to facilitate critical "goals of care" discussions with patients and families. In this episode, Kelli and Brett discuss how this training not only enhances collaboration with palliative care teams but also drives improved patient satisfaction and better overall care outcomes. Additionally, the conversation takes a closer look at the return on investment (ROI) for hospitals and demonstrates how training nurses across all service lines is a cost-effective strategy to elevate patient care, boost nurse confidence, and foster a more supportive health care environment. With the right education, staff can empower frontline nurses across various serious illness service lines to make a lasting, positive impact on patient care.

There is an increasing awareness of the importance of screening for social drivers of health (SDOH) for patients with cancer. Social drivers like income level and stable housing can impact a patient's access to quality cancer care. To help multidisciplinary teams in oncology care screen for SDOH, ACCC has developed a screening tool to help identify potential SDOH factors that may hinder access to cancer treatment and clinical trial participation. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Richard Martin III, MD, MPH, medical director of Health Equity and Community Engagement at Tennessee Oncology and Dana McDaniel, DNP, FNP-C, AOCNP, director of Oncology and Clinical Research at Mosaic Life Care about their experiences using the screening tool as part of ACCC's pilot program. “Everybody's role with SDOH is different, but really, everyone has a role with SDOH assessment—taking the time to sit down with the patient, ask the questions, listen to them, and then connect them to the appropriate services so that we can tailor their care and ultimately improve quality.” - Dana McDaniel, DNP, FNP-C, AOCNP “Being able to capture data around patients' interest [in clinical trials], their awareness and their barriers, and being able to cross reference those 3 things to better focus strategies around [trial] enrollment…that's just going to be gold as far as information to help you know where to go…and when that patient's ready, to help get them onto a trial.” – Richard Martin III, MD, MPH Richard Martin III, MD, MPH Medical Director, Health Equity and Community Engagement Tennessee Oncology Nashville, Tennessee Dana McDaniel, DNP, FNP-C, AOCNP Director of Oncology and Clinical Research Mosaic Life Care St. Joseph, Missouri Additional Resources: ACCC SDOH Screening Tool (English) (https://bit.ly/4ikNPdb) ACCC SDOH Screening Tool (Spanish) (https://bit.ly/4ixsixA) ACCC SDOH Resource Library (https://bit.ly/4bJtDz6) Improving Equitable Access to Care: Unpacking Medicare's New Documentation, Coding, and Billing Requirements (https://bit.ly/4bKlMRU)

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. She participated as both an item writer and chair for the pediatric hospice and palliative nurse exam from 2010-2016. 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.

Is it Possible to Reverse Heart Disease?Welcome to the Hypertension Resistant to Treatment Podcast! Initially, our goal was to empower individuals to effectively manage their blood pressure with the help of healthcare professionals. However, our focus has evolved to prioritize supporting healthcare providers, particularly nurse practitioners (NPs), recognizing their crucial role in patient outcomes. We emphasize the significance of equipping healthcare providers with the necessary tools and knowledge to successfully guide patients to obtain good blood pressure control. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards improved hypertension management. This podcast offers a mixture of informative and inspirational content.The Hypertension Resistant to Treatment podcast is hosted by Dr. Tonya Breaux-Shropshire, PhD, DNP, MPH, FNP-C. Of note, according to the AACN, fewer than 1% of U.S. nurses hold a doctoral degree, with most having a DNP rather than a PhD. This highlights the rarity of both degrees, though DNPs are significantly more common than PhDs.Pubmed Research GateResearch SymposiumSend us a text Support the showSupport the podcast by subscribing using this link: click here.

Specifically, Dr. Wells has focused on the development and testing of highly efficient and effective models of early palliative care for those living with advanced heart failure. Her emerging program of research focuses on the examination of active palliative care intervention elements and dosing of palliative care to develop optimized interventions that uniquely address palliative care needs, a novel approach to addressing health disparities in under resourced palliative care populations. She has been involved with a number of federally-, foundationally-, and intramurally funded grants as a PI and Co-I that have involved intervention development and tailoring and clinical trials testing and implementation of models of early palliative care for those living with serious illness and their family caregivers.

Caring for Boomer Generation: Building Upon History To Plan The FutureAs the baby boomer generation ages, America's current long-term service and support system (LTSS) faces mounting pressure. With the volume of seniors requiring care increasing, it's becoming clear that our existing infrastructure has opportunities to build person-centered systems to meet the needs and desires of this growing population. In this episode, we dive into how we can learn from our past to understand the critical need for expanding Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), allowing more seniors to age in place while ensuring institutional services remain available for those who need them most. Join us as we explore what this shift means for families, healthcare providers, and policymakers and how it could reshape the future of aging in America.Objectives: Discuss societal history impacting the evolution of caring for the aging population. Describe characteristics of populations impacting the care of the aging population.Explain future considerations in the care of the aging population. Guests: Ashley l Ebert, MSN, ARNP, FNP-CWith over a decade of experience as a nurse practitioner, Ashley has spent 8 years mastering acute care across diverse settings and just over 2 years specializing in geriatric care. In both roles, she has led initiatives to enhance quality care, advocated for better access to healthcare, and focused on the unique needs of rural communities. Her passion lies in people leadership and fostering the growth and development of clinicians to ensure long-term success in the field of healthcare.She is honored to have been selected as her company's Senior Living representative for a national Townhall, sitting alongside senior leaders, bringing collaboration and a focus on improved care transitions to the forefront. Additionally, Ashley was selected as a co-chair for a company-wide NP group, which boasts a vibrant community of nearly 5000 members, where she helps create a space for connection, professional growth, and networking.Casey Fowler, DNP, ARNP, FNP-C, GS-C, FAANPCasey Fowler is a family nurse practitioner sub-specialized in geriatrics.

Hi everyone, it's Katheleen, and I'm excited to bring you a new episode of Konfidence with Katheleen. You might have noticed my absence from social media and the podcast over the last few months. This wasn't because I ran out of inspiration, but because I was navigating some personal health challenges. In the past six months, life threw a lot at me, and by September, I was feeling constantly tired and drained. I could barely muster the energy to get through my work, let alone anything else. I thought I might be dealing with burnout or even depression. However, after speaking with friends, I realized there was more going on—it was a hormonal imbalance. Determined to find answers, I discovered Mary Katherine Nye, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner at Straight 2u Wellness. With her help, I took a comprehensive blood test and found a natural solution tailored to my needs. But Mary Katherine's expertise doesn't stop at hormones; she offers a range of services designed to support overall wellbeing, helping clients achieve balance in many areas of their lives. In this episode, I'm excited to have Mary Katherine join us to discuss how hormonal changes and other health factors can affect your life, and how her diverse services can support your journey to wellness. My mission is always to help you, whether it's through equine connection or health advice. If you see yourself in my story or know someone who might benefit, please share this episode. Remember, Mary Katherine can help you no matter where you are! To schedule an appointment with her, visit straight2uwellness.com, call her office at (817)-382-7867, or visit the Straight 2u Wellness Facebook page.
