Send us Fan MailThere's a certain kind of pain a lot of people learn to live with.It starts as something small—a twinge, a tightness, a bad shift at work. And then, slowly, it becomes part of your normal. You stretch it out, push through it, tell yourself it's just part of the job… part of getting older… part of life.And if you work in healthcare, you probably know this story all too well.You spend your days lifting, turning, reaching, carrying—taking care of everyone else—while your own body keeps asking for attention you don't have time to give.So what happens when the pain doesn't go away?When the usual answers stop working?When you start to wonder if this is just how it's going to be?Today's guest has spent over 30 years asking those exact questions—and refusing to accept the idea that chronic back pain is something people just have to live with.Dr. Brigitte Rozenberg is a Doctor of Chiropractic and the founder of Spinatomy Spine & Disc Centers and the creator of Advanced Spinal Restoration Therapy. Her work has helped thousands of people find relief from chronic pain—without surgery, without medication, and without giving up on their lives.We talk about where traditional care gets it right, where it falls short, and why so many people—especially caregivers—end up carrying pain in silence for far too long.If you've been pushing through, powering on, or quietly wondering if things could feel different… this one is for you.In the five-minute snippet: Aye, Chihuahua!

Send us Fan MailYou're going to love this one.Today I'm talking with Seth Radnothy, a fellow nurse whose path into healthcare is anything but typical. Before he ever stepped into a hospital, he was serving as a Reconnaissance Marine—and if that doesn't tell you something about his ability to stay calm under pressure, just wait.Seth's worked as a paramedic and in both emergency and perioperative nursing, so he knows what it's like when things get intense fast. These days, he's taken all that experience and built something really unique—Pulsepoint Prose Legal Nurse Consulting—where he helps attorneys make sense of complex medical cases. He also shares what he's learned as a legal nurse consultant with the next generation of nurses as a clinical nursing instructor. And because he values his work/life balance, in his off time, he plays guitar in his band, hits CrossFit, mountain bikes, and hangs out with his wife and their furry crew.This one is about the many ways a nursing career can evolve—and how all of your experiences can come with you. In the five-minute snippet: We all scream for ice cream.

In this episode, Mark Testa explores why the renewed excitement around live events is both an opportunity and a challenge for brands. Budgets are coming back, audiences are gathering again, and the energy around experiential marketing is real—but popularity alone does not make an event effective. In this SoloCast, Mark breaks down six key considerations every event marketer should keep in mind when investing in live experiences, from defining clear objectives to designing moments that create lasting impact.This episode we discuss:Why the current momentum around events does not automatically translate into meaningful results.The importance of starting with clear objectives before investing budget, time, or creative energy.How audience alignment can make or break an event's effectiveness.Why every dollar needs a strategic purpose—and how to avoid spending driven by ego or pressure.The difference between building a setup and designing a true brand experience.How live events should connect to a larger marketing strategy before, during, and after the moment.Why content, amplification, and follow-up are essential to extending the life of an event.How brands can think beyond attendance numbers and measure deeper forms of success.The role of emotion, relevance, and human connection in creating experiences that resonate.What event marketers should consider now as live experiences become a larger part of the marketing mix.Thanks for tuning in.

In 2024, she was honored with the Nevada Arts Council Literary Fellowship for her contributions to literature and the arts.But what makes Amanda especially fascinating to me is that before she ever became a full-time writer, she spent 16 years as a registered nurse.And you can feel that in her work.Her stories don't just live in the past—they dig into the human experience of medicine, justice, and belonging… often in the overlooked corners of history where voices have been silenced or forgotten.Today, we talk about that journey—from bedside nursing to bestselling author, how her clinical experiences shaped her storytelling, and what it means to care for people… whether through medicine or through words.In the five-minute snippet: they are just so cute.

Support is out there, and you deserve it.Today's guest is the kind of educator you don't forget.Gwenny Winkler, or Nurse Gwenny, built her career in some of the most extreme environments in healthcare—from the emergency department to helicopter EMS—where decisions are fast, the stakes are high, and there's no room for autopilot.But what makes Gwenny stand out isn't just her clinical background—it's how she teaches.She believes learning should be fun, engaging, and built for real life—not just for passing a test. And she's known for creating those “aha” moments that flip a switch for her students and bring their curiosity back to life.Often described as “intense,” Gwenny brings a fast-paced, high-energy style to everything she does—but her real superpower is knowing when to slow down, connect, and treat the human behind the condition.In 2026, she and her husband, Mr. Nurse Gwenny, launched The Nurse Gwenny Library, a modern continuing education platform designed for today's learner, with over 100 hours of content that actually sticks.We talk about what's broken in healthcare education, how to prepare clinicians for the realities of high-acuity environments, and why curiosity in the form of the question, “But, Why?” might be the most important skill Gwenny is teaching. I'm grateful for our conversation because I'm certain someone will benefit by hearing Gwenny's deeply personal story of a Contact The Conversing Nurse podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconversingnursepodcast/Website: https://theconversingnursepodcast.comYour review is so important to this Indie podcaster!

Send us Fan MailToday's episode is Nicole Cromwell 2.0—and trust me, a lot has happened in the last three years.What started as a creative outlet has grown into something much bigger. In fact, Nicole's life as an artist might just be giving her full-time nursing career a run for its money.Since we last talked in episode 46,  she hasn't just been creating beautiful art—she's been building pathways for others to reconnect with their own creativity. Her Brave Beginner Art course has expanded, and she's added Creative Thinking in Nursing, both offering continuing education units. I've taken her Brave Beginner course myself, and I can tell you—it's not just about art. It's about rediscovering a part of yourself you may have forgotten was there.And Nicole hasn't lost sight of the bedside. As a former ICU nurse, she's created two powerful resources—The ICU Diary and The Hospital Wellness Journal—designed to support patients and families as they navigate some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.You've heard me say it before—I deeply admire nurses who lift up other nurses.

Aimee argues that when nurses are chronically overwhelmed, morally distressed, and unsupported, that's not a staffing inconvenience.That's an ethical breakdown.Recently debuting as a Top 10 New Release in Health Policy on Amazon, the book argues that nurse burnout is not a personal weakness — it's a leadership failure.If you've ever felt moral distress, invisible, or asked to carry the weight of a broken system — this conversation is for you. In the five-minute snippet: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Aimee is comin' for you.For Aimee's bio, visit my website (link below).TAE Associates and Co.Contact The Conversing Nurse podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconversingnursepodcast/Website: https://theconversingnursepodcast.comYour review is so important to this Indie podcaster!

In this episode of the Integrative Health Podcast, Dr. Jen sits down with Dr. Sundeep Dugar—renowned medicinal chemist, co-inventor of the drug Zetia, and industry pioneer with over 40 years of experience—to explore the foundational role of mitochondrial health in aging, hormones, and energy.Dr. Dugar shares why he transitioned from Big Pharma into the nutraceutical space, explaining that while pharmaceutical drugs often target isolated diseases, mitochondria are central to nearly every aspect of human health. Because mitochondrial dysfunction underlies conditions ranging from fatigue to muscle loss, brain fog, and chronic disease, supporting mitochondria offers broad, system-wide benefits.The conversation dives deeply into why mitochondrial health is especially critical for women. Dr. Jen and Dr. Dugar explain how mitochondria are inherited exclusively from the mother and play a central role in hormone production, including estrogen. During perimenopause, declining estrogen levels impair mitochondrial biogenesis, creating a “bioenergetic deficit” that drives hallmark aging symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive decline, and muscle loss.Dr. Dugar introduces epicatechin—a specific flavonol derived from green tea and cacao—and explains how it acts as an “exercise mimetic,” signaling the body to create new mitochondria. He clarifies how epicatechin differs from common green tea extracts like EGCG, outlines proper dosing, and discusses why more is not better.They also cover the broader implications of mitochondrial health for bone density, muscle preservation, organ failure, sleep quality, and the risks associated with rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications.Dr. Jen speaks with medicinal chemist Dr. Sundeep Dugar about mitochondrial health, estrogen decline, epicatechin from green tea, perimenopause, muscle loss, and healthy aging.Dr. Sundeep Dugar is a renowned medicinal chemist with over 40 years of experience in drug discovery and development. He is the co-inventor of Zetia and has worked extensively in cardiovascular, metabolic, and mitochondrial research. Dr. Dugar now focuses on translating cutting-edge science into safe, effective nutraceuticals that support foundational cellular health.Website: https://www.thrombio.com.au/leadership/sundeep-dugar Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sundeepdugar/PODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!

In this episode of the Integrative Health Podcast, Dr. Jen sits down with Dr. Paige Prather, a leading expert in airway and biological dentistry, to explore why dentistry must “zoom out” beyond teeth and aesthetics to consider the airway, jaw development, and whole-body health.Dr. Prather explains how modern dentistry and orthodontics—especially extraction-based treatments—can unintentionally shrink the airway and contribute to lifelong breathing issues, sleep disorders, and chronic sympathetic dominance. They discuss how changes in modern diet, bottle feeding, and reduced breastfeeding have altered jaw development compared to our ancestors, leading to narrower palates and compromised airways.This episode dives into common compensation patterns like clenching and grinding, TMJ pain, headaches, neck tension, sleep apnea, and behavioral challenges in children that are often misdiagnosed. Dr. Prather also highlights the role of biological dentistry in addressing hidden stressors such as cavitations and tongue ties, and how advanced appliances can guide growth and healing—often without invasive surgery.If you or your child struggle with sleep, chronic pain, anxiety, sensory issues, or fatigue, this conversation may reveal a critical missing piece.Dr. Jen talks with Dr. Paige Prather about airway dentistry, jaw development, clenching, grinding, sleep apnea, tongue ties, cavitations, and holistic dental solutions for whole-body health.Dr. Paige Prather is a leading expert in airway and biological dentistry. She specializes in evaluating jaw development, airway volume, and oral restrictions that impact sleep, nervous system regulation, and systemic health.

In this episode of the Integrative Health Podcast, Dr. Jen dives deep into the often-overlooked connection between mold exposure, mycotoxins, and hormone dysfunction—especially for women in perimenopause and midlife.Dr. Jen explains why clean eating, supplements, and even hormone replacement therapy may fail when environmental toxins like mold are driving estrogen dominance, chronic fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, and histamine intolerance. She breaks down how fat-soluble mycotoxins interfere with liver detoxification, mitochondrial energy production, immune regulation, and nervous system balance.This conversation explores the concept of the “perimenopause storm,” where declining hormonal resilience combined with mold exposure amplifies symptoms such as brain fog, heavy cycles, mood changes, and stubborn weight gain. Dr. Jen also issues an important warning about rapid weight loss and GLP-1 medications in mold-toxic individuals, emphasizing the dangers of mobilizing stored toxins without proper drainage.Most importantly, Dr. Jen outlines a safer path to healing—focusing on nervous system regulation, environmental awareness, and gentle detoxification rather than aggressive protocols. If you feel stuck, reactive, or inflamed despite doing “all the right things,” this episode may reveal the missing piece.Dr. Jen explains how mold and mycotoxin exposure disrupt hormones, drive estrogen dominance, impact perimenopause, affect the nervous system, and why detox must start with safety and environment.PODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!
