What if the secret to better sleep, stress relief, and nervous system regulation isn't doing more—but getting better at rest?     Lisa Fischer sits down with relaxation expert Craig Goldberg to explore why downtime matters just as much as uptime—and how sound, vibration, breathwork, and intentional rest may help you shift out of constant fight-or-flight mode. Craig shares his journey from the nonstop pace of New York nightlife to discovering vibroacoustic therapy and a radically different approach to relaxation.     You'll hear practical ideas for fitting restorative "power naps" into a busy day, why Craig believes sound and vibration can create an immersive relaxation experience, and how breathing techniques can help you slow down when stress takes over. Lisa and Craig also explore sleep, brainwave states, music and frequency, circadian rhythms, overstimulation, and why learning to truly unplug can be so difficult in our always-on culture.     Ready to rethink rest?

Working together can create a powerful opportunity to combine different strengths, specialties, and experiences while building a shared vision for helping others.   On today's episode, Stephanie and Kent share how their individual health journeys led them to IHP and HPH, and how they now combine their expertise to support clients through a collaborative approach to health and wellness.   They discuss how their different backgrounds and specialties complement one another, from root-cause health and functional testing to high-performance health and cardiovascular wellness.   We also explore the importance of sharing your personal health story, building trust through relatability, and creating a strong foundation of education and community. Stephanie and Kent share their advice for anyone considering building a health coaching practice with a partner, including defining each person's strengths, responsibilities, interests, and shared vision.   To learn how combining strengths, sharing your story, and building a collaborative health practice can create greater impact, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 457.   - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/457   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

Heather Aardema woke up with terrible pain in her wrist and blamed her ski poles. It was rheumatoid arthritis. Her rheumatologist handed her brochure after brochure for drugs with side effects like liver damage, and when Heather asked about food, she was told there's no research and don't go looking. She went looking anyway, changed her diet, and around day 31 she woke up with no pain at all. She has never taken RA medication. We also talk about clutter, and not the kind you're picturing. Heather's definition includes the stuff on your counters, the people on your calendar, the thoughts in your head, and even the air in your house. And we get into the part that stops most of us: she cites a study where people were told they'd die if they didn't change, and only one in seven did. If you already know what you're supposed to be doing and still aren't doing it, this one is for you. Heather closes with one small step that takes a few minutes, and I tried it myself.

Building a successful health coaching or wellness practice takes more than being great at helping clients. If your entire business depends on you showing up, seeing clients, and doing everything yourself, eventually something has to give. In this episode of the Health Coach Academy Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Brandy LeBlanc, an acupuncturist, entrepreneur, and creator of the Practice Profit Blueprint, to explore how wellness practitioners can build businesses that are profitable, sustainable, and capable of growing beyond the practitioner. Dr. LeBlanc's entrepreneurial journey began with a single treatment room and a rolling cart. Over time, she expanded her practice—but after experiencing serious burnout, she discovered a major flaw in the business she had created: the entire practice revolved around her. When she tried bringing in other practitioners, patients still wanted to see only her. That experience forced her to rethink what it really means to build a wellness business. Rather than simply creating a personal brand, Dr. LeBlanc began identifying what clients valued about their experience and developing systems that could reproduce those qualities throughout the practice. The goal was to create consistency so that clients could receive the same level of service regardless of which practitioner they saw. One of her biggest breakthroughs came from something surprisingly simple: knowing her numbers. After years of avoiding the financial side of her business, Dr. LeBlanc began reviewing her finances regularly, including conducting a P&L review every Monday. Understanding exactly what was coming in and going out gave her a stronger foundation for making business decisions and planning for the future. We also dig into the concept of "money leaks"—expenses and decisions that can quietly drain a wellness business. From purchasing expensive equipment before it is necessary to leasing a large office before having enough clients, hiring too many employees, or simply not knowing how much profit each client generates, small financial decisions can have enormous consequences. Dr. LeBlanc explains why she believes entrepreneurs should start lean, establish the fundamentals, and build a strong foundation before attempting to scale. They also discuss her Practice Profit Blueprint, which helps practitioners identify weaknesses in their businesses and progress through three stages: provider, business owner, and legacy. That foundation can include financial awareness, legal and operational requirements, business agreements, insurance-related requirements, safety procedures, and other systems that allow an owner to grow with greater confidence. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why building your entire business around your personality can eventually become a liability How burnout changed Dr. LeBlanc's approach to entrepreneurship The difference between being a great practitioner and building a great business Why health coaches and wellness professionals need to understand their numbers How regularly reviewing your P&L can change the way you make business decisions How to identify hidden money leaks in your practice Why starting small can sometimes be smarter than immediately investing in a large office or expensive equipment The dangers of hiring too many employees before understanding your revenue Why you need to know how much money you actually make per client or patient How to create systems that allow other practitioners to deliver a consistent client experience Why hiring for alignment with your mission and values matters How an assistant, understudy, or protégé can help remove day-to-day pressure from the practitioner Dr. LeBlanc's three stages of business development: Provider → Business Owner → Legacy How to begin creating income and impact beyond simply trading hours for dollars Dr. LeBlanc also shares an important lesson for health coaches who dream about eventually stepping away from constant client work: don't wait until you're already exhausted to start building a business that can operate without you. Her own experience led her to begin developing additional support, training an understudy, and gradually building the Practice Profit Blueprint while continuing her clinical work. Whether you're just starting your health coaching business or have a full client roster but feel trapped by the demands of your practice, this conversation offers a practical look at what it takes to move from self-employed practitioner to true business owner—and eventually create a business with a legacy beyond yourself.

Could Mitochondrial Health and Cellular Aging hold the key to better energy after 40? Dr. Catharine Arnston, founder and CEO of EnergyBits, joins Lisa Fischer to unpack the science behind spirulina and chlorella and why she calls algae an "intelligent food." She explains how spirulina may support cellular energy, mitochondrial function, antioxidant protection, and nutrient intake without relying on stimulants like caffeine or sugar.     Lisa and Dr. Arnston also explore why energy can decline during perimenopause and menopause, the role of mitochondria and estrogen, and how spirulina and chlorella differ in their potential uses. They discuss protein, phycocyanin, superoxide dismutase, vitamin K2, recovery, detox support, and gut health.     Whether you're curious about algae supplements, looking for sustainable nutrition, or focused on maintaining energy and vitality in midlife, this conversation offers plenty to explore.

"A lot of us get in that go-go-go mode and we don't know how to slow down.Our thoughts are our biggest stressors.  So our thoughts alone can wreak havoc on our body. Even if you think, oh, I have no stress in my body right now, no stress in my life, but what you're thinking about can cause so much stress. So doing all the modules and courses with INCA really opened me up to that world and really helped me realize what was missing in my world was working on my mind." ~Cheryl Toto BSN, RN, NC-BCAh Ha MomentsOur experiences shape the nurses we become. Compassionate nurses cared for Cheryl during childhood scoliosis treatment, inspiring her lifelong career in pediatric nursing.Nurse Coaching connected the missing pieces. Through INCA, Cheryl discovered how mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and the mind-body connection could support her own well-being and her work with others.The client knows what works for them. Nurse Coaches don't prescribe joy or well-being. They listen, ask, and help clients discover their own path forward.Presence is powerful. Slowing down, truly listening, and helping someone feel seen can transform nursing care.

To celebrate the end of Season 8, we went back to see what was the single most popular episode out of our library of 397 episodes to date. To nobody's surprise, it was the one-and-only Dr. Bill Miller, co-creator of Motivational Interviewing. The story about how it began is fascinating, and the impact it has in the world of coaching, counseling, leadership, addiction recovery and more is powerful.

The root chakra is linked to the immune system and the adrenal glands. If you're living with autoimmunity, that's a strange thing to have never heard about. My guest Lisa Erickson is an energy healer and meditation teacher who spent a decade in corporate tech before her own health crises sent her in a different direction, and she has a gift for making this stuff plain. We walk through all seven energy centers and what each one connects to physically — root and the adrenals, throat and the thyroid, solar plexus and digestion. We also get into why so many of us check out of our bodies when they hurt, why medical trauma is real trauma, and how survival patterns like people-pleasing and hypervigilance can actually be rewritten. Lisa calls it physical therapy, not surgery. If you've been told to try yoga or meditation and it never stuck, this is a different door in. And Lisa's one starting step takes about as long as brushing your teeth.

If your doctor prescribes you medication without first asking about your diet, your sleep, your stress, or your vital signs — you don't have a doctor. You have a drug dealer.That's the provocation Scott Middleton brought to this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, and it's one that cuts straight to the heart of everything wrong — and everything possible — in modern healthcare. Scott is the Founder and Chief Disruption Officer of Your Health, a healthcare organization built on the radical idea that prevention is cheaper, smarter, and more humane than reaction.In this conversation, Scott unpacks:Why most doctors have become de facto salespeople for pharmaceutical companies — and how to change thatThe staggering math of remote patient monitoring: how vital signs three times a week could prevent 50% of heart attacks and hospitalizationsThe GLP-1 opportunity hiding in plain sight — and why missing a patient's height is costing thousands of people access to life-changing careHow self-insured employers are bleeding money on avoidable hospitalizations — and what accountability actually looks likeScott's mission beyond the bottom line: a United Methodist minister who got into healthcare to save souls, not just bodiesIf you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling like a transaction rather than a patient, this episode is for you. The data already exists to change that — we just have to decide to use it. www.YourHealth.Org

Wellness trends keep circling back to one truth, and this The Next Frontier Files episode proves it louder than ever before. Across 104 episodes in year five of Salad with a Side of Fries, guest predictions kept pointing to the same signal from the human body, again and again, without anyone comparing notes or planning it that way.Host Jenn Trepeck revisits year five of the podcast as part of this 7-episode retrospective of Salad with a Side of Fries, called The Next Frontier Files, and looks at expert guests' answers to the next frontier in wellness, connecting hormonal birth control, gut health, functional medicine, and the rise of cozy cardio into one reflective deep dive that offers powerful insights for today's wellness culture.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How hormonal birth control may be connected to long-term hormone disruption, according to guest research shared this year✅ Why the gut microbiome is now considered central to serotonin production, brain function, and longevity✅ What functional medicine offers as a root cause approach that conventional healthcare has been slow to adopt✅ How the cozy cardio trend challenges the idea that movement has to be intense to countThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

Hormone balance can affect blood sugar management, but what if type 1 diabetes could finally have a functional cure?     In this powerful conversation, Lisa Fischer sits down with Katie Beth Hand, one of just 12 participants in the groundbreaking Eladon clinical trial, to hear what happened after she received an islet cell transplant. Katie Beth explains how she was diagnosed with adult-onset type 1 diabetes, why managing the disease became a relentless 24/7 responsibility, and how continuous glucose monitoring changed her care.     She also breaks down how donor islet cells were placed in her liver, why the Eladon trial's immunomodulator could change the future of transplantation, and what life feels like after coming off insulin. From pregnancy and motherhood to organ donation, clinical trial phases, and the meaning of a "functional cure," Katie Beth offers an inside look at a potential turning point for people living with type 1 diabetes.    

Your primary care provider is doing their best. But there's something they may not be telling you — not because they're hiding it, but because they simply can't know everything.In this episode of Your Health University, Jamie Preston sits down with Scott Middleton — Founder and Chief Disruption Officer of Your Health — to talk about one of the most underutilized parts of the American healthcare system: specialty care. Scott shares real stories from the field that will make you rethink what you expect from your next appointment, including a patient who had been living in a nursing home for years without ever being offered a weight-loss medication that was available to her, and a lawsuit that turned on a single chest x-ray that no one thought to order.What you'll learn in this episode:Why your primary care provider legally cannot keep up with every new medication, treatment, and specialist recommendation — and what to do about itWhat GLP-1 medications are, who qualifies, and why so many eligible patients are never told they existThe standard of care around lung cancer screening for smokers — and why not knowing this can have life-altering consequencesHow to ask for a specialist referral (and what happens if your provider pushes back)Why behavioral health is one of the most under-accessed specialties in America — and how to change that for yourselfWhat "integrated care" actually looks like when it works — and what you deserve to expect from your healthcare teamYou are the CEO of your own health.

ER doctor turned cellular medicine expert Dr. Siobhan Newman spent years saving people in a busy LA emergency room — and watching none of them actually get better. Now she helps people rebuild health at the cellular level, and her approach challenges a lot of what we've been told. We get into why adding exercise when your mitochondria are already underwater just drives more inflammation, how the low-fat era damaged our cells in ways we're still paying for, and her "three nos" — the simple starting point she gives every patient. We also talk about why very low cholesterol is linked to worse outcomes, what peptides actually do (and why buying them online is genuinely dangerous), and why your gut is where immune dysregulation really starts. If you have an autoimmune condition and you've been pushing through fatigue or following advice that isn't landing, this conversation will make a lot of things click.

A robot showed up in everyone's pocket, and it changed how guests answered one simple question for an entire year. This episode of The Next Frontier Files rewinds to year four, when artificial intelligence collided with gut health, hormone balance, and a growing call to return to species-specific diet basics.Jenn Trepeck weaves together voices from across the year four of Salad With a Side of Fries to show which predictions about wellness coaching and technology came true and which the industry has already moved past.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How artificial intelligence started shaping the conversation around personal health and wellness coaching back in year four✅ Why several guests pushed back on technology and pointed back to basic eating instead✅ How gut health, blood sugar, and hormone balance kept surfacing as a common thread across very different specialties✅ Which prediction about body positivity and the fitness industry turned out to be the most accurate in the show's historyThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

We're told that winners never quit — but what if strategic quitting is the skill high performers are missing? In this episode, Brad sits down with Lindsay Crouse, author of The Case for Quitting and former New York Times editor and writer, to challenge the "never give up" mindset that quietly works against ambitious people.Lindsay shares her own journey from Harvard to career heights at the Times — including elevating women Olympians' voices to win maternity protections for pregnant athletes and commissioning the Times' first Academy Award–winning film — and how her superpower of relentless perseverance eventually started to undermine her performance and happiness.Together, Lindsay and Dr. Cooper unpack how perseverance and quitting are companion behaviors, not opposites. You'll learn why "Why am I continuing?" is a more useful question than "Should I quit?", how to tell the difference between healthy drive and fear-based grinding, and how to set "kill criteria" before you're too invested to think clearly. They dig into the spotlight effect and our overblown fear of judgment, why we regret inaction more than action, and the coach's wisdom to never quit on a bad day.Lindsay closes with a practical framework for anyone standing at a crossroads: picture the morning after you walk away, get clear on what you're moving toward (not just what you're escaping), and build a financial parachute so the choice is deliberate rather than impulsive. A must-listen for high achievers — and the coaches who guide them.Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.YouTube Coaching Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/CoachingChannelContact us: Results@CatalystCoaching360.comTwitter: @Catalyst2ThriveWebsite: CatalystCoaching360.comIf you are a current or future health & wellness coach, please check out our Health & Wellness Coaching Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/278207545599218.  This is a wonderful group if you are looking for encouragement, ideas, resources and more. 

Could Root Cause Healing for Chronic Fatigue start with something as simple as rethinking the food on your table?     On this episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa Fischer sits down with Monica Corrado for a lively conversation about raw milk, traditional dairy cows, A1 and A2 casein, and why the way milk is produced may matter as much as the milk itself.     Monica breaks down the differences between raw, pasteurized, and homogenized milk and explains what the cream line can reveal about milk quality. She also explores why some people may struggle when introducing raw milk, how fermented foods can support the microbiome, and why homemade yogurt and kefir can be different from commercially produced versions.     The conversation then expands into the GAPS Diet, gut health, fermented foods, and Monica's belief that real food can provide a powerful foundation for wellness. They also discuss access to raw milk and the changing landscape of food regulations.    

I sat down with Johanna Dahlman, the Alopecia Angel, because she treats hair the same way I treat autoimmunity. The label on the scalp is not the disease. Johanna reversed her own alopecia areata after years of appointments that either piled on pharmaceuticals or told her to live with it. In this episode she names the blind spots even functional doctors miss, why minoxidil is a lifelong trap with rebound shedding, and why hair is the whipped cream, not the cake. If your hair is thinning with Hashimoto's, postpartum, or another autoimmune label, this one is for you. Stop treating it like a shampoo problem.

Personalized wellness is reshaping the entire health conversation, and this new The Next Frontier Files episode proves the old rulebook is officially closed for good.

Could Mitochondrial Health and Cellular Aging be connected to the bigger metabolic picture behind PCOS? Christine Horton joins Lisa Fischer to challenge the way we think about polycystic ovarian syndrome and explain why the conversation may need to expand beyond the ovaries.     Christine breaks down the emerging PMOS terminology, why PCOS can look completely different from one woman to another, and why a diagnosis can remain lifelong even when symptoms improve. She and Lisa explore insulin resistance, testosterone, inflammation, ovulation, fertility, weight changes, and the importance of identifying metabolic issues earlier.     The conversation also dives into Circadian Rhythm and Hormone Balance, including lifestyle factors that may support hormone resilience through perimenopause and beyond. Christine explains the surprising connection between oral health, insulin resistance, inflammation, and metabolic health—and why your mouth may provide important clues about what is happening throughout your body.    

Most people think occupational therapy is what happens after something goes wrong. Tyler Broome is here to tell you that's exactly the framing that's costing patients their independence. In this episode of the Your Health University Podcast, Jamie sits down with Tyler Broome, a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant at Your Health, to explore what OT actually is, how it fits into a truly integrated care model, and why the therapy team often sees the earliest signs of decline — before anyone else on the care team does. Tyler brings a uniquely grounded perspective, shaped by a baseball career, a grandmother's fall, and years of working inside the homes of real patients. He articulates something most healthcare systems have yet to fully grasp: that medical outcomes and functional outcomes are deeply connected, and that a care team working in silos is a care team leaving gaps. In this episode: Why occupational therapy is defined by daily function — bathing, dressing, meal prep, medication management — not just physical recovery How OT's presence in the home gives the care team "functional health intelligence" no clinic visit can replicate The difference between saying your system is integrated and actually delivering integrated care Two real patient stories where early cross-disciplinary communication prevented a crisis from becoming a catastrophe Why the shift to value-based care makes therapy's role not just important — but essential If you work inside the Your Health system — or if you've ever wondered what the therapy team actually contributes — this conversation will change how you think about the care happening around your patients every day. www.YourHealth.Org

Rheumatologist and integrative medicine specialist Dr. Aly Cohen has spent 15 years connecting the dots between everyday chemical exposures and chronic disease. In this conversation we get into what's actually in your tap water (and why bottled water isn't better), the foods that support your body's own detox pathways, and why US chemical regulation is decades behind. What I love about Aly's approach is that it's not about perfection. She started this whole journey because her golden retriever got a rare autoimmune diagnosis — and the questions she asked about his environment changed the way she practices medicine. Her book Detoxify lays out a one-swap-a-month strategy that anyone can follow, starting with the product that touches almost everything in your house. If you have an autoimmune condition and you've been told your labs are normal but you still feel terrible, this episode is for you. We talk about self-advocacy with your doctors, where to actually spend your money, and how small changes add up to real results.

In this episode of The Health and Wellness Coach Journal Podcast, Dr. Jessica Singh speaks with Karen Lawson, MD, DABIHM, NBC-HWC, founder and CEO of IHWC Productions, a consulting company that works with programs and individuals to advance and expand training in Integrative Health Coaching and Holistic Healthcare, and she provides virtual Health Empowerment Services to individuals directly. She served as the founder and Director of Integrative Health Coaching at the University of Minnesota from 2005–2022. She is a physician, board-certified in Integrative and Holistic Medicine and a founding board member of the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) and Past-president of the American Holistic Medical Association. A published author and researcher, Dr. Lawson speaks internationally to diverse audiences on the potential of holistic health care practices, the role of spirituality in health and healing, and the power of health coaching. Dr. Lawson reflects on the experiences that led her into integrative health and health coaching, including the early work that helped demonstrate how coaching could support meaningful behavior change. She shares the grassroots efforts that brought leaders in health coaching together to develop standards for the field, eventually leading to the creation of NBHWC, a partnership with the National Board of Medical Examiners, a program approval process, and an individual certification exam. Together, Dr. Lawson and Dr. Singh explore the role of coaching within the healthcare system, the importance of staying within the coaching scope of practice, and the differences between holistic, integrative, and functional medicine. Dr. Lawson also discusses her work in Health Empowerment and the need to help individuals take control of their own health beliefs and behaviors and be in charge of their healthcare experience. Drawing on more than two decades of training coaches, Dr. Lawson shares guidance for coach educators and coaches alike, including the importance of going beyond minimum competencies, developing skills through supported practice, caring for one's own wellbeing, and staying aligned with one's values and integrity.

Mitochondrial Health and Cellular Aging may sound complicated, but could better health really start with just three essential supplements?     In this episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa Fischer sits down with supplement expert and clinical nutritionist Dr. Luke Bucci to break down the foundational supplements he believes can provide the most benefit: vitamin D3, omega-3s, and magnesium.     Dr. Bucci explains why vitamin D matters far beyond bone health, how vitamin K2 fits into the picture, and why testing your vitamin D levels can help you make smarter decisions. He also reveals why he prefers krill oil over traditional fish oil, how to recognize rancid omega-3s, and what makes omega-3 phospholipids so important.     The conversation also explores magnesium forms, magnesium-rich foods, calcium supplementation, bone remodeling, gut health, plant foods, polyphenols, and the connection between nutrition and healthy aging.    

"...these are qualities that are core to who we are. And there's times where we may be underusing strengths. And one of them I'll give for Nurses. Often one of our strengths as a profession, is kindness. We're caring. We're compassionate. Everybody says that about Nurse. We know that.But how many of us would underuse kindness for ourselves? At some level, potentially. I mean, it's so easy. We're caring, giving to others, but we may be underusing it for ourselves. These strengths are to be used, the goal is to use them to benefit ourselves and others." ~Chad Sanders RN, BSN, NC-BC, MSc APPCP, MBSP Certified FacilitatorAh-Ha MomentsNurse Coaching begins with knowing and caring for ourselves. Chad reflects on his own experiences with burnout and the tension nurses can feel when healthcare systems don't align with their values. Integrative Nurse Coaching helped him recognize that his own well-being, self-awareness, and personal growth are foundational to how we care for and coach others.Know your strengths and learn to live them. Chad introduces the VIA Character Strengths and encourages listeners to identify the qualities that are essential, energizing, and natural to who they are. Rather than simply knowing your strengths, he invites you to practice them mindfully and consider how they can support you through challenges, relationships, nursing practice, and everyday life.Mindfulness and character strengths can become powerful partners. Through practices such as mindful strength use, strength spotting, reflection, and intentional awareness, we can become more present to what is best within ourselves and others. Chad's work reminds us that strengths don't eliminate adversity, and they can provide meaningful resources for navigating it while supporting well-being.Nurse Coaching can evolve into something uniquely your own. Chad's journey has led him to combine positive psychology, mindfulness, music, movement, character strengths, and group coaching into his emerging Embody Your Strengths Coaching practice. His story is a beautiful example of how Nurse Coaches can evolve over time, bringing your own interests, talents, experiences, and even playfulness into how you serve others.Links and ResourcesIntegrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcastChad's LinkedInChad's InstagramConnect Wellness™ websiteNewsletter: Embodied Rhythm & Inner Intelligence Review™VIA Institute on Character: Free VIA Character Strengths SurveyPublished research:Wellbeing and Nursing Burnout — Journal of Happiness and Health (2022)Interprofessional Substance Use Disorders Education — American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education (2020)Interprofessional Psychiatry Education — Academic Psychiatry (2017)*****Integrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.

Dr. Casey Kelley got diagnosed with POTS in medical school after years of fatigue, dizziness, and a heart rate that wouldn't quit. She tried multiple medications — none of them fixed anything. It wasn't until she dug into functional medicine that she discovered her POTS was actually a symptom of adrenal burnout and chronic tick-borne infections. Once she addressed those, the POTS went away. In this conversation, we get into what POTS actually is, why infections and toxins are behind so much of the immune dysfunction we're seeing right now, and the stress you've probably become "nose blind" to. Casey also shares her go-to breathing technique (and why box breathing can backfire), the three foods she pulls first with almost every patient, and the foundational pillars that apply whether you have POTS, autoimmunity, or just want to feel better. If you've ever wondered whether your diagnosis is really the full picture — or you're stuck managing symptoms without understanding why they're there — this one's for you.

What if Circadian Rhythm and Hormone Balance starts with something as simple as stepping outside every morning?     Host Lisa Fischer welcomes Jonathan Jarecki for an eye-opening discussion on how sunlight influences nearly every system in the human body. From the latest longevity research to the hidden dangers of artificial lighting, Jonathan explains why light is much more than a source of vitamin D—it acts as one of the body's most powerful biological signals.     Throughout the episode, Lisa and Jonathan explore studies involving hundreds of thousands of participants, debunk myths about melanoma, explain the difference between healthy sun exposure and sunburn, discuss vitamin D supplements versus natural sunlight, and reveal how indoor lighting may impact blood sugar, mitochondrial health, sleep, and overall wellness.     Whether you're already exploring circadian health or just beginning your journey, you'll leave this episode with practical strategies you can start using today.

Dr. Cory Rice is a board-certified internal medicine physician who went from forensic science to running a functional medicine practice treating tens of thousands of patients in Dallas. In this conversation, we bust three autoimmune myths that keep people stuck — that autoimmune disease is rare, that there's one root cause to find, and that these conditions can't actually improve. We get into why 80% of autoimmune patients are women, what hormones have to do with immune function at every age, and why Dr. Rice went from gut-testing skeptic to making a functional stool analysis mandatory for every single new patient. His take: if the gut isn't sealed, it doesn't matter how clean you eat. If you've been told to just manage your symptoms and accept your diagnosis, this one's for you. We talk about what actually moves the needle — and why hope might be the most important deficiency to address first.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I share more about how eating less isn't always the answer to weight loss, but to actually look at your overall lifestyle habits. Reducing the refined carbs, quick sugars, and stick with whole foods and prioritizing protein. Along with that, dialing in sleep, building muscle, managing stress and moving more daily. I share how it can be the basic fundamentals that can help you reach your weight loss goals, but you probably haven't been consistent enough to see the changes happen. Many are bouncing from one supplement to one diet to a vacation to poor sleep to another exercise plan and haven't been consistent enough with just one thing. Start small with making one change for 30 days then dial in another area for 30 days then stay consistent and make one more change for 30 days and see how you feel. You can do this, take it one day at a time and know your future self will thank you for not giving up too soon.Connect with Me:Instagram: sarahtmwellness1:1 Health Coaching - get to the root cause of your inflammation, bloating & fatigue with functional lab testing and a personalized approach: Schedule a free discovery call! Join my newsletter!!!!!Zebra- My favorite lip gloss & deodorant- code: sarahdavies Thesis- Nootropics to help with focus & stress- code: sarahtmwellness LiveHealthIllie - All low-toxic finds in one shop + minerals & chill (adrenal cocktail)! - code:sarahdavies Oliveada Skincare - love their serums and internals! Sun & Moo Tallow-Based Skincare - code: sarahdavies Prime Protein- 15% off Discount (my fave protein powder) Buoy Electrolytes (no sugar, 87+ trace minerals)- 20% off Find the Good Brand - code: sarahdavies10Royo Bread- High Protein, High Fiber Bread & Bagels- Code: sarahda10If you found this episode helpful, don't forget to share it with a friend or a family member and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform!

Functional wellness practitioner Hali Laricey reads standard lab work through a functional lens — and she's really good at finding answers in the labs your doctor stamped "normal." In this episode, we zero in on the CBC with differential, one of the cheapest and most common blood tests out there, and how its five markers can reveal chronic infections, immune stress, and early signs of autoimmune flares. Hali walks through each marker — neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils — with the functional ranges she uses and why they're tighter than what your lab report flags. She also explains why pulling three to five years of labs from your patient portal matters way more than any single draw, and shares a simple ratio you can track on your own to watch for flares. If you've ever left a doctor's appointment holding "normal" labs while still feeling terrible, this one's for you. You'll walk away knowing exactly what to request and what to look for.

Intermittent Fasting for Perimenopause isn't just about weight loss—it may be the missing key to better energy, lower blood pressure, improved gut health, and lasting metabolic health.     In this inspiring conversation, Lisa Fischer welcomes pharmacist Emily Erickson, who shares how watching her sister overcome infertility sparked her own health transformation. Emily explains how intermittent fasting, improving gut health, increasing fiber intake, and addressing insulin resistance helped normalize her blood pressure, increase her energy, and lose 30 pounds without restrictive dieting. Together, they discuss why fasting works, the connection between metabolic health and chronic disease, the importance of Circadian Rhythm and Hormone Balance, and why many women are unknowingly insulin resistant. You'll also hear practical tips for building sustainable habits, improving longevity, and supporting healthy hormone function without relying solely on medication.    

Tiffany Kaloustian was told lupus was basically the end of the life she expected. In her twenties that landed like a life sentence — heavy meds, little education, and a lot of grief. We talk about what changed when she stopped wearing the diagnosis as her identity and started treating healing like a dance: hard days included, mindset and nervous system first, and food and root-cause care that actually moved her markers. If you have been living under a diagnosis like it already decided your future, this episode is for you. Come for the honesty. Stay for the reminder that a label does not get the final word.
