In this hard-hitting episode of The Gritty Nurse Podcast with Amie Archibald-Varley, we dive deep into the controversial healthcare proposal dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill”—a sweeping plan backed by RFK Jr. that claims to overhaul the US healthcare system. But what's really behind this policy? And who stands to lose the most? Joined by Dr. Kaveh Hoda, gastroenterologist, podcaster, and advocate, we explore: The background and political motivations behind RFK Jr.'s healthcare agenda The devastating consequences of Medicaid cuts on low-income Americans, seniors, and people with disabilities How privatization and deregulation threaten the core of public healthcare Why Canadian listeners should view this as a cautionary tale—what's happening in the US could be a warning sign for Canada's own healthcare system

Discover the Trust Triangle framework that's improving how healthcare professionals build stronger relationships with patients, families, and colleagues. Based on neuroscience research, this episode explores how trust operates through three pillars - Logic, Authenticity, and Empathy - and why your brain releases oxytocin when genuine connections are made. Dr Jo Braid shares practical strategies to strengthen each pillar, recognize when trust "wobbles," and repair relationships quickly and effectively. Research shows that high-trust healthcare environments lead to 74% less stress, 40% less burnout, and 106% more energy at work - making this not just good patient care, but essential self-care. You're already building trust every day; this framework helps you do it more intentionally and effectively.

Unlock Your Best Skin Yet — Join My Free Live Webinar! Tired of falling for marketing hype and wondering if that $200 serum is actually worth it? This week's episode will change how you think about everything from drugstore finds to "medical grade" products. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Patti Farris, a board-certified dermatologist who's spent decades in clinical practice, research, and education before pivoting to full-time consulting with major cosmetic companies. Dr. Farris pulls back the curtain on how brands actually develop and test products, the importance of including all skin tones in research, and why the clean beauty movement isn't as clear-cut as it seems. The conversation also touches on how social media is shaping unrealistic beauty standards, the rise of skin minimalism, and the cutting-edge innovations like AI-driven formulations, new sunscreen filters, and regenerative ingredients that are set to transform the industry. Key Takeaways: ✓ Major drugstore brands often have better research backing than luxury products ✓ "Clean beauty" has no standardized definition ✓ Natural doesn't always mean better ✓ Medical grade simply means designed for use under medical supervision - It's not FDA-approved or necessarily more effective than over-the-counter options ✓ New ingredient development takes 7+ years  ✓ The "democratization of skincare" means effective products are now accessible to everyone, not just those with luxury budgets ✓ If you're worried about "clean" beauty, just use less - The environmental impact of constant product cycling is worse than most ingredient concerns If you've ever felt lost in the skincare aisle or wondered which claims you can actually trust, this episode gives you the insider's perspective you need. Dr. Patti Farris is a board certified dermatologist with 35 years of clinical, research and teaching experience. She left her private practice three years ago and now works full time as a consultant for cosmetic companies. Dr. Farris is well known for her expertise in cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals and has lectured internationally and published extensively on these subjects. She edited and authored a textbook Cosmeceuticals and Cosmetic Practice and her consumer book the Sugar Detox was a best-seller.  She is co-founder and co-director of the Science of Skin Summit, an educational meeting held in Austin, Texas designed to educate Health Care Professionals on the science behind skincare and skin therapeutics.  She also co-hosts the podcast Skincare Confidential that gives listeners a 360 degree look at the skincare industry.

Is insurance really helping your practice grow—or holding it back? In this solo episode, Dr. Lauryn gets real about the hidden costs of staying in-network and why so many practice owners eventually face the hard choice of whether to go out of network. She shares personal lessons from running a clinic for 15 years, including a decade fully out of network, and reveals the freedoms and challenges that come with that shift.From the fear of audits to the problem of razor-thin margins, Lauryn dives into why leaving insurance isn't always about profitability at first—but why it often becomes essential for long-term sustainability. Whether you're considering dropping one payer or going fully cash-based, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and the real numbers to weigh before making the leap.Key TakeawaysGoing out of network can protect clinics from the constant threat of audits and unexpected clawbacks while giving owners more freedom to run care their way.Profitability depends on clear margins, not just patient volume—many providers unknowingly operate at a loss with certain insurance contracts.Transitioning out of insurance doesn't have to be all or nothing; dropping one or two problematic payers can be a smart first step.Cash-based practices attract more engaged patients, but require strong scripts and systems to handle objections and sustain growth.Resources:The ONE thing every provider needs to launch online!

Why do people say one thing and do another? Why do some ads flop while others go viral? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with behavioral marketing expert Nancy Harhut to explore the science behind how people actually make decisions—and how marketers can ethically influence those instincts to boost attention, engagement, and conversions.Nancy shares decades of experience blending behavioral science with marketing strategy, revealing practical tools that business owners and service providers can use right now. You'll learn about eye magnet words that increase clicks, why the word “free” still works wonders, how to use social proof and authority to build trust, and why loss aversion might be your best sales tool. Whether you're a clinic owner, entrepreneur, or content creator, this conversation is packed with actionable insights to improve your messaging and get better results.Key Takeaways:Behavioral marketing leverages subconscious decision-making. Up to 95% of decisions are made in the subconscious mind—using behavioral prompts can dramatically improve ad performance and message retention.Certain words have proven psychological impact. Words like “you,” “free,” “new,” and “alert” are eye magnets that instinctively capture attention and drive engagement across email, print, and social media.Use social proof and authority to build trust. Testimonials, certifications, and credibility signals reduce uncertainty and help potential clients feel confident choosing your service or product.Loss aversion is more powerful than gain. Framing your offer in terms of what someone could lose (vs. what they'll gain) can double response rates and increase urgency in decision-making.About the Guest:Nancy Harhut is the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of HBT Marketing, where she helps brands apply behavioral science to increase marketing performance. With a background as a top-ranked creative director, Nancy has led successful campaigns for major global clients and was named a Top 10 Digital Marketer by the Online Marketing Institute. She's spoken at hundreds of industry conferences worldwide and is the author of Using Behavioral Science in Marketing: Drive Customer Action and Loyalty by Prompting Instinctive Responses.

In this episode, we dive into a topic that's becoming more and more urgent: how healthcare professionals can financially prepare for the possibility of career burnout. We know from data and personal experience with clients that burnout is hitting this sector hard—over 50% of healthcare professionals report symptoms, and a significant number are considering stepping away from their roles entirely. So, we tackle this issue head-on, not from a medical standpoint, but from a financial planning perspective.We start by emphasizing that prevention is key. Just like in medicine, the best remedy for burnout is early action, and that begins with building a solid financial foundation. We explore how consistent savings habits—even when it feels unnecessary—can offer crucial flexibility down the line. Setting aside 20% or more of each paycheck, creating an emergency fund with 6–12 months of expenses, and maintaining liquidity outside of retirement accounts are all smart, actionable steps. We also stress the importance of not delaying financial planning because you assume higher income gives you more time to catch up later. That's a trap we see too often.Next, we look at how to create income flexibility if burnout leads to reduced hours, a role change, or even early retirement. We talk through the importance of evaluating disability insurance—especially with mental health in mind—and how thinking ahead about possible career pivots like consulting or teaching can reduce stress. We also dive into the importance of building passive income streams and using investment strategy to bridge income gaps without needing active work.For those considering early retirement, we advise updating retirement plans immediately to identify any needed changes, recalibrating spending, and optimizing the timing of account withdrawals to minimize taxes. We also cover how to smartly use pensions and healthcare benefits, especially when considering stepping away. Timing really matters here, and small adjustments can have outsized financial impacts.Finally, we go over tactics to manage financial obligations during a career break—reducing debt, refinancing, and communicating with lenders. We talk about using COBRA, marketplace insurance, and HSAs to maintain healthcare coverage. The bottom line is that being proactive with money gives healthcare professionals the power to make the best choices for their well-being—financially and mentally—before burnout forces their hand.
