In this episode of the UnabridgedMD Podcast, Dr. Isabelle Amigues sits down with Nurse Practitioner Jennifer Mooney to explore the heart of nursing, the power of lifestyle medicine, and the urgent need for stronger advocacy in women’s health. Together, they shine a light on what it means to care for the whole person—beyond charts, lab results, and standard protocols.

They discuss how lifestyle choices profoundly affect health and healing, why women must be in the room and part of the conversation, and how empowerment begins when we look deeper than “you’re fine” to find real answers and effective treatments. Nurse Mooney also shares her perspective on nursing as both a profession and a calling—one that bridges patients and the healthcare system with compassion, advocacy, and strength.

The conversation expands into the future of women’s health: exploring hormones like testosterone and their overlooked role in women’s wellness, rethinking long-held assumptions about breast cancer and metabolic health, and embracing holistic approaches that support body, mind, and spirit.

Whether you’re a patient searching for answers, a provider seeking to listen more deeply, or an advocate passionate about women’s health, this episode offers insight, empowerment, and hope for change.
