What's the best thyroid medication to be on — NDT, T4, T3, or a combination? And how do you actually know what's right for your body? In this episode, I'm breaking down the nuanced art of thyroid optimization — from natural desiccated thyroid (like Armour or NP) to biosynthetic options such as Synthroid, Tirosint, and Cytomel. I explain why there's no one-size-fits-all treatment, what to consider if you have Hashimoto's, and how fillers, conversion issues, and reverse T3 can all impact how you feel. You'll learn how to spot when your thyroid meds need tweaking, why “natural” doesn't always mean better, and how to use your labs and symptoms together to guide your treatment. If you've ever felt confused about which thyroid medication is best or frustrated that your current dose isn't working, this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and questions to bring to your next appointment — so you can finally get the right combination, in the right dose, for you.

What do you really want the second half of your life to look like? Being a doormat for others, then resenting it? Saying yes, when you really mean no? Doing more tasks or more work, taking responsibility for everything, and feeling overwhelmed in your life? This can be how so many of us in midlife feel, but I'm here to tell you there IS another way. In this episode, I sit down with expert Beatriz Albina to talk about a challenge so many women face but can't always name—patterns of overgiving, perfectionism, and the ultimate people-pleasing trap. Beatriz introduces the concept of emotional outsourcing and how it quietly drives these behaviors, leaving us feeling stuck and drained. Together, we discuss how reframing your mindset is a powerful tool for reclaiming your emotional well-being. Plus, Beatriz gives us a sneak peek into her brand-new book, End Emotional Outsourcing—a guide to finding freedom, balance, and true self-connection. Tune in here to reignite joy in your life, and find the inner peace you've been craving for years! Beatriz Albina Beatriz (Béa) Albina, NP, MPH, SEP (she/her) is a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, and author of the book "End Emotional Outsourcing: a Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist and People Pleasing Habits". She's dedicated to helping people socialized as women reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and rewire their minds to break free from codependency, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. Béa hosts the Feminist Wellness Podcast, and holds a Master's degree in Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health and a BA in Latin American Studies from Oberlin College. IN THIS EPISODE What is emotional outsourcing, and how can it impact women? Getting back to the basics for our emotional needs How our emotions lie in our nervous system– not just our minds Calming techniques you can do in 5 seconds, anytime, anywhere Detaching from labels like ‘co-dependent' and ‘perfectionist' How to stay regulated while also setting boundaries Why reframing your mindset is so important for healing All about Beatriz's book: End Emotional Outsourcing QUOTES “This is what happens when we get activated or triggered in our nervous system. When we start being mean to ourselves, when we ignore our impulses, when we project, when we take things personally, when we get offended, all these things– our nervous system is in a different time and place.” “That's the self-worth work. Saying, ‘I trust myself, I believe in myself, and so I know that this isn't a problem.' And that's that. Not allowing any other thoughts to enter your beautiful mind space, your world, your body. It's really vital work.” “What our children and our partners, and our friends and our communities and ourselves want and need from us the most, most, most, is presence. Intunement and presence.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Use code ENERGIZED and get $100 off on your CAROL Bike purchase https://carolbike.pxf.io/GK3LaE Preorder the Perimenopause Revolution and get your VIP ticket to the Perimenopause Solution event http://hayh.site/pr_bl_ap-snyder_a_opt Order Béa's book: End Emotional Outsourcing HERE http://beatrizalbina.com/book Béa's Website Béa's Instagram RELATED EPISODES #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey #553: Simple Ways to Start Feeling Calm and Safe and How to Align Your Nervous System for More Abundance with Kate Northrup #565: How to Live in a State of Ease and Flow vs. Overwhelm and Resentment + Reclaiming Your Aliveness with Alexi Panos #569: How to Build a Strong Emotional Connection with Your Partner and How to Transform Your Love Life with Vanessa and Xander Marin
No matter how well you prepare, every NP exam includes a few questions that make you stop and think, “What in the world is this?” These are the infamous "zebra questions," the ones designed to test how you handle uncertainty rather than how much obscure content you've memorized. The goal isn't to know every rare diagnosis, but to stay calm, think critically, and move forward with confidence. In this episode, Kaitlyn and I break down how to approach these unexpected, seemingly impossible exam questions using logic and reasoning rather than panic. We walk through real examples, including cases like blue skin discoloration after well water exposure and cave explorers with fungal infections, showing how to use context clues, process of elimination, and strategic thinking to find your best answer, even when the condition is brand new to you.

According to Blood Cancer United (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), approximately every 3 minutes, 1 person in the United States is diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma. AML is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy; despite advances in treatment, AML remains challenging to cure. Integrating new treatment options for patients with refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including menin inhibitors, into routine oncology care can help bring novel therapies to patients with relapsed or refractory AML. ACCC is committed to providing information on the latest research and treatment options for blood cancer. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Keri Halsema, NP, MSN, RN, nurse practitioner in the Blood Disorders Center at the University of Colorado Anschutz about the factors that influence treatment choices and the use of menin inhibitors to treat relapsed or refractory AML. “We, as clinicians, are really excited that we have another treatment choice with respect to targeted therapy in these patients that have either the KMT2A rearrangement or the NPM1 mutation…Having outreach and making sure that community oncologists are aware that these medications are available, that various academic centers have various clinical trials that patients may qualify for and may be enrolled in, that's something that's very important in moving care forward for these patients with AML.” – Keri Halsema, NP, MSN, RN Keri Halsema, NP, MSN, RN Nurse Practitioner Blood Disorders Center University of Colorado Anschutz Aurora, CO Resources: Menin Matters ACCC Hematologic Malignancies ACCC AML Resource Page ACCC Educational Video: Best Practices and Solutions for Performing Bone Marrow Biopsies in AML Care Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Facts and Statistics Menin inhibitors in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia

Practice-based learning is essential in nurse practitioner (NP) education; however, lack of clinical placement opportunities results in variability in clinical experience. Dr. Erin Ziegler and her team developed 4 virtual simulations (VS) covering concussion management, medical assistance in dying, memory concerns in older adults, and prescribing medical cannabis and evaluated their usability, engagement, and impact across 3 Canadian universities. Students' competencies improved significantly for all of the VS, with highest improvement in concussion management. Scores on the Classroom Instructional Support Perception indicated high usability and engagement with the VS, underscoring their effectiveness. Read more about the development of these VS in their Article.

“She's triple negative and has a very, very aggressive tumor. Instead of going on spring break that year, she sat in our chemo room and got chemo. Her friends from college are good to try to keep her involved and try to surround her and encourage her, but they're right now in very, very different spots in their lives. She's fighting for her life; her friends are fighting for the grade they get in a class—and that's different,” ONS member Kristi Orbaugh, MSN, NP, AOCN®, AOCNP®, nurse practitioner at Community Hospital North Cancer Center in Indianapolis, IN, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about metastatic breast cancer in adolescent and young adult patients.

Some groups will say 15–39, but right around that age. When we think about that age, think about what all could be going on during those ages. Late teenagers, they may be going off to college, they may be graduating high school, trying to set up their own life, trying to become independent from mom and dad. If you're talking about early to mid 30s, you could be talking about young parents, young career folks. So, just setting that into place makes you realize this can be a very tumultuous time for folks.” TS 2:06 “Unfortunately, this group tends to have more aggressive subtypes. We see more triple-negative in this group. We see more hormone-negative, HER2-positive in this group. Normal breast cancer cells should be stimulated by hormone. They are stimulated by hormones. So when you have a breast cancer cell that is not driven by hormones, it's much more difficult to treat. We tend to see more aggressiveness in these tumors. We also see a higher incidence in non-Caucasian folks in this age group compared to the older age groups.” TS 4:53 “I think we have gotten much better about understanding the importance of fertility preservation and getting reproductive endocrinologists in, sooner rather than later. If we have earlier-stage cancers and we have patients that want to try to preserve eggs, preserve fertility, sperm banking. … If you have that time to talk to them—maybe a 21-year-old—the primary thing on her mind is not how many children she wants to have one day. Maybe she's not even thought about having kids yet. It's still a question you need to [ask]. Do you want to try to preserve fertility? Do you want to try to harvest some eggs? That's a conversation that needs to be had and is very, very important for that age group.” TS 10:35 “One thing that helps is if you can get them [into] reputable support groups with people their own age that are going through what they're going through. Someone else that doesn't have hair, someone else that isn't going to make it to the big board meeting or isn't going to get the promotion this year because they've had to take a medical leave. Someone else that understands it differently.” TS 16:47 “In breast cancer, many of those biomarkers just get reflexed. And what I mean by reflexed is a breast cancer pathology comes through, or a breast cancer specimen comes through, and it just automatically gets tested for X, Y, Z. HER2 and of course ER/PR. Now we understand that we don't just need to know whether they're HER2 positive or HER2 negative. We need to know: What is the IHC score? And even if the IHC score is zero, is there any membrane staining? And then we need to know what's their ESR1, their PTEN, their AKT, their PIK3CA. Those are so important to know.” TS 18:11 “I think it's important to try to remember what our priorities were when we were in our 20s—what our priorities were when we were starting out as young mothers or starting out our career. Because that's where these folks are. … I can't imagine in the midst of college, when I'm trying to be independent, to suddenly have to be at home and rely on my mom to take me to my chemo appointment. … So I think one really important bias is to remember where they are in the developmental stages of life. They're not 40-something. They haven't lived X amount of life, and we need to take a step back and try to remember when we were their age, what was important to us? Where were our priorities at that point? And then hear them when they're telling us what's important to them.” TS 29:22 “From a female standpoint … we frequently throw these patients into menopause or have early menopausal symptoms, and I think we forget how devastating that can be. … They now are at higher risk for osteopenia or osteoporosis. … And then we tell people, ‘Be as normal as possible, get back and do those normal things.' Well, they're in a relationship, and they want to be intimate [but] suddenly having sexual intercourse is incredibly painful. Or if it's not painful, sometimes they've just lost pure interest in that. They don't feel confident about their body. All of those things need to be addressed because patients are trying to live each day as normally as possible.” TS 31:55
In today's episode, we're diving deep into Hashimoto's thyroiditis, one of the most common autoimmune disorders affecting women, with expert guest Teresa Kenney, NP. You'll learn what Hashimoto's is, how it differs from other thyroid conditions like hypothyroidism and Graves' disease, and why so many women in their 30s and 40s and beyond are being diagnosed. Teresa breaks down the basics, shares insight into testing and diagnosis, and helps us uncover the often-overlooked root causes of this condition, from stress and inflammation to gut health and nutrient deficiencies. She also offers clear, compassionate advice on lifestyle strategies, when medications might be necessary, and what true healing can look like. Whether you've recently been diagnosed, are still searching for answers, or want to support someone you love, this episode is packed with information, validation, and hope. Highlights from the Episode: What exactly is Hashimoto's, and how is it different from hypothyroidism or Graves' disease? Why women in their 30s and 40s are particularly vulnerable Symptoms that could signal an undiagnosed thyroid condition The real story behind “normal” labs and why many women still feel terrible The key labs to ask for—beyond just TSH (including Free T4, Free T3, (reverse T3) and Thyroid Antibody panel. How thyroid antibodies like TPO and Tg help identify autoimmune thyroid disease Root causes and triggers: stress, gut health, inflammation, and more Which nutrient deficiencies are most common in Hashimoto's How diet, sleep, and movement play a role in managing symptoms First steps if you've just been diagnosed and feel overwhelmed When medications are necessary, and how lifestyle changes still make a difference Can Hashimoto's go into remission? One thing we didn't get to touch upon in this episode is Low Dose Naltrexone and its use in Hashimotos, so check out our previous episode on this: Season 5 Episode 13!

In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Dr. Cristina Castagnini welcomes back Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina, NP, MPH, SEP—nurse practitioner, somatic life coach, and host of the Feminist Wellness Podcast. Béa returns to discuss her upcoming book, End Emotional Outsourcing: A Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist, and People-Pleasing Habits (Hachette Balance, Sept. 30).Béa introduces the term “emotional outsourcing”—her reframe of the outdated concept of codependency. Rather than pathologizing love, care, and connection, she explains how people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-erasure are survival strategies we once needed to stay safe. Now, however, these patterns keep us disconnected from our authenticity, self-trust, and worth.Through personal insights, metaphors (like “baby sweaters” and “newborn kitten steps”), and clinical wisdom, Béa and Dr. Castagnini explore how emotional outsourcing is deeply tied to body image, diet culture, and perfectionist pressures. Together, they outline pathways toward reclaiming self-trust, rebuilding body awareness, and setting loving boundaries—so we can live lives rooted in authenticity rather than external validation.SHOW NOTES: Click hereFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behind_the_bite
When you think about building wealth in medicine, do you picture yourself working at one job until retirement? My guest today, Kristin Burton, proves there's a better way. She began her career like many of us, buried in student loan debt and working long hours. After paying off $161,000 in just 16 months, she realized financial freedom was about more than debt elimination. Kristin shares how she shifted her focus from paying bills to building assets, investing aggressively in her twenties, and eventually creating income streams outside of medicine. We talk about the mindset shifts healthcare professionals must make to get ahead, and Kristin also shares how she helps other PAs, NPs, and PharmDs rethink their financial journey, create sustainable wealth, and avoid burnout in medicine. If you're wondering whether it's possible to thrive in your career, grow your wealth, and still have time for family and passions, this episode is for you! “If you can create a gap between your expenses and income and then create some assets with the gap, it's almost inevitable that you're gonna end up building some wealth.” ~ Kristin Burton In This Episode:- Kristin Burton's journey of paying $161k in student debt- What steps did she take toward becoming a millionaire?- Why your income level doesn't matter in building wealth- What Kristin would do differently and her current beliefs- Biggest client "head trash": PSLF myths and the 4% 401k mindset - How do you help healthcare professionals avoid lifestyle inflation?- Kristin's book recommendations - Redefining wealth: from net worth goals to "what is enough?" - How to find out more and join Kristin's community Book Recommendations Mentioned in the Episode: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho: https://a.co/d/3yayzkg 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dr. Benjamin Hardy & Dan Sullivan: https://a.co/d/hlbLEbG Who Not How by Dr. Benjamin Hardy & Dan Sullivan: https://a.co/d/2Ol8RjwThe 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom: https://a.co/d/6SMYeNH Die With Zero by Bill Perkins: https://a.co/d/6ae8TSq Join The Millionaires in Medicine Club!Learn how to clear debt and build wealth as a PA, NP, or PharmD: https://www.millionairesinmedicine.com/community Connect with Kristin Burton: Website: https://www.millionairesinmedicine.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-burton-pac `Resources:➡️ Free community of high-performing physicians: the Physician Wealth Accelerator - https://limitless-md.mn.co/➡️ Check out my programs - https://vikramraya.com/coaching/➡️ Apply to become a Limitless MD -
