In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick get real about the dangers of “patchwork” solutions—those quick fixes we use to mask pain or problems instead of getting to the root cause. Using Nicole's own experience with pregnancy pain and arnica as a jumping-off point, they dive into how this mindset shows up in health, relationships, business, and even parenting. The conversation challenges the cultural obsession with “fast, cheap, and easy,” and inspires listeners to choose deep, proactive problem-solving over surface-level band-aids. #RootCauseHealing #StopThePatchwork #IntegrativeLiving #BeProactive #HolisticHealth #ValuesDrivenLife #MindBodyConnection #PersonalGrowth #IntegrativeYou #LiveLimitless 3 Key Takeaways: Patchwork Solutions Don't Solve Root Problems: Whether it's using natural remedies, medication, or even couples therapy, if you're only addressing symptoms and not the underlying cause, the problem will keep resurfacing—often bigger than before. Being Proactive Beats Being Reactive: True change and growth happen when you invest time, energy, and resources into finding and fixing the root of an issue, instead of waiting for things to break down or spiral out of control. Awareness is Power: Cultivating daily awareness around where you're being proactive vs. reactive—especially in your health, relationships, and business—empowers you to make choices that serve your highest good (and keep you out of the endless “problem circus”). Quotes: “Pain's not the problem, it's just the messenger. Let's stop patching the problems—let's fix them.” “Stop thinking that problem solving is easy. If you want to be the leader of your life, your family, or your business, problem solving is part of the job.” Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

Don't just collect data—use it intentionally to create a life that's aligned with your values.

Dr. Nicole emphasizes the critical role of self-responsibility, belief systems, and proactive decision-making in shaping your health journey. Through real-life examples, including a transformative story of an infant's kidney health journey, she illustrates how mindset, strategy, and alternative approaches can defy conventional medical expectations. #IntegrativeMedicine #HealthEmpowerment #SelfHealing #MindBodyConnection #SubjectivityInMedicine #QuantumHealing #HolisticHealth #WellnessJourney #TakeControlOfYourHealth #BeliefSystemPower 3 Key Takeaways: Medicine is subjective: Despite being rooted in science, healthcare outcomes are influenced by human emotions, beliefs, and experiences, making it far from black and white.

Nicole Rivera es la protagonista de este nuevo episodio. Llegó a Madrid poco menos de cinco años, gracias a una oportunidad laboral que le permitió conocer el mundo de los negocios en la capital española hasta escalar a puestos de alta jerarquía, como en el que hoy se encuentra. Durante nuestra entrevista, nos abrió su corazón y recordó también momentos de su pasado, que la convirtieron en la mujer fuerte y resiliente que es hoy en día; ¡no vas a creer lo que hace para mantenerse fuerte mentalmente y lejos de sus seres queridos, en especial de su pequeña Violeta!▶️ Un episodio ya disponible en Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Pandora, Audible y en tu plataforma de streaming favorita.➡️ Síguenos también en:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blogruta5Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ruta5.Blog/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blogruta5/ Tik Tok: http://www.tiktok.com/@blogruta5/ Ruta5 Podcast es una producción del Blog de Talento Latino Ruta5.

In this no-holds-barred episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole breaks down the myth of modern medicine's obsession with diagnosis. She challenges the mainstream approach of labeling symptoms for the sake of profit, rather than uncovering the root cause of illness. With over 30,000 new diagnostic codes recently added to the system, she questions whether this represents true progress—or just another layer of confusion and dependency designed to feed the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Nicole urges listeners to ask deeper questions, understand the hierarchy of causes, and stop outsourcing their wellbeing to a system that thrives on chronic disease. Drawing from her own motherhood journey, clinical expertise, and everyday examples, Dr. Nicole emphasizes the importance of embodied knowledge and self-trust. She encourages listeners to step into their power, learn how their bodies work, and know when to seek real, integrative support. This episode isn't just a critique—it's a call to action to become the CEO of your own health, build generational wisdom, and stop blindly accepting surface-level solutions. #RootCauseMedicine #HealthSovereignty #FunctionalMedicine #HolisticHealth #IntegrativeWellness #MedicalFreedom #SelfHealing #BodyIntelligence #DiagnosisDebunked #EmpoweredHealth What you'll learn: Diagnosis isn't the answer: it's the entry point to profit. Most diagnoses simply label symptoms without addressing their underlying cause, keeping people dependent on external treatments. Healing requires understanding the hierarchy of root causes. Emotional trauma, toxins, and pathogens may all be involved, but identifying what's foundational is key to lasting resolution. You are the authority on your own health: Knowledge is power; educating yourself about food, stress, tech exposure, and daily choices creates long-term wellbeing and autonomy. Quotes: “Diagnosis codes don't solve problems—they create identities that fuel an industry."- Dr. Nicole "We're not trying to make you your own doctor—we're trying to help you not need one."- Dr. Nicole Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

Summary: Your health and personal development outcomes are deeply influenced by the well-being and mindset of the professionals you choose to guide you. In this episode of Integrative You Radio, we explore Dr. David Hawkins' research on the levels of consciousness and how the emotional state of your doctor, coach, or therapist can directly impact your results. Whether you're seeking better health, professional growth, or personal breakthroughs, understanding the energy and intention behind your service providers is crucial to achieving long-term success. We also dive into the importance of vetting practitioners beyond just convenience or insurance coverage.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole challenges the current state of functional and integrative medicine, questioning whether it has become a source of stress and anxiety rather than a solution. She discusses how fear-based health narratives, extreme elimination diets, and rigid wellness protocols may actually contribute to mental health struggles rather than improving overall well-being. Through personal experiences and industry insights, she explores the importance of balance, mindset, and emotional resilience in achieving true health. Dr. Nicole also dives into the cultural contrasts she has observed while living in Italy, where people lead healthier lives with less obsession over "clean living." She highlights the importance of nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and shifting from a fear-based approach to a more aligned, intuitive way of taking care of oneself. Are we unknowingly becoming victims of the wellness industry? Tune in to find out. What you'll learn: Wellness Extremes Can Be Harmful – Over-focusing on eliminating every toxin, food, or environmental factor can lead to anxiety, stress, and a dysregulated nervous system, ultimately harming mental and physical health. Mindset and Stress Matter More Than Obsession – People in cultures with less stress, like Italy, often live healthier lives without obsessing over every food ingredient or environmental toxin. True Functional Medicine Isn't About Fear – Practitioners and influencers pushing extreme health narratives may be creating more stress and fear than actual healing; real health comes from balance, not perfection. Quotes: "If you're constantly living in fear of your environment, your food, and your body, you're already setting yourself up for failure—your nervous system is in survival mode." - Dr. Nicole "True health isn't about eliminating everything in your life that could harm you—it's about creating a foundation of resilience, balance, and alignment." - Dr. Nicole Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify Curious about Integrative You?

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, we dive deep into the growing trend of restrictive diets and their unexpected consequences, particularly when it comes to mental and physical health. From the paleo and autoimmune paleo movements to the recent surge in "ancestral living" diets, the episode explores how these popular trends, though rooted in a desire for better health, often contribute to toxic overload in the liver and body. Dr. Nicole shares personal insights, reflecting on how shifting away from such extremes can lead to better long-term wellness, both physically and mentally. Discover why the key to health may not be in following the latest diet fad, but in returning to simplicity and balance. As the episode continues, it draws comparisons between the culture of food in the U.S. and Italy, highlighting the stark differences in diet quality, accessibility, and the stress of food-related choices. In Italy, the notion of "ancestral living" isn't just a trend, but a way of life, with food grown locally and prepared simply.

Welcome to Integrated You Radio, hosted by Dr. Nick Carruthers and Dr. Nicole Rivera. This podcast is a gateway to limitless possibilities in health and wellness. In this episode, Dr. Nick and Dr. Nicole delve into the fascinating world of DNA and its connection to sound and light. They emphasize that while four percent of our DNA codes for proteins, a significant portion, ranging from ninety to ninety-five percent, is dedicated to sound and light receptors. DNA operates within the realm of quantum mechanics, governed by quantum physics rather than classical Newtonian physics. Understanding this concept reveals that most of our body, approximately ninety-nine percent, is influenced by quantum physics. This knowledge opens doors to non-physical treatments and services that align with the principles of "like attracts like" and "like heals like," as seen in homeopathy. Tune in to the full episode to learn more! What you'll learn: Four percent of our DNA codes for proteins, while the remaining 90-95% is focused on sound and light receptors. DNA has receptor sites for both sound and light, functioning in the realm of quantum mechanics. Understanding DNA and its structure is crucial for utilizing nonphysical treatments and services for optimal health. Our DNA is a double helix and works like a piston, elongating, and contracting to receive and transmit information. The structure of water, which makes up the majority of our bodies and DNA, is an icosahedron. Interested in working with Dr. Nick & Dr. Nicole at Integrative You?
