In this episode of Don’t Let the Old Lady In, Nurse and Wellness Coach Lorie Gardner helps you slow down and make smarter, more confident choices when it comes to your health.

Too often, we feel pressured to make medical decisions on the spot — especially after hearing a new diagnosis. But rushing can lead to unnecessary treatments, missed options, or regret.

Lorie breaks down how the diagnosis process really works, why second opinions matter, and how a patient advocate or care partner can help you navigate the healthcare maze with clarity and calm.

You’ll learn how to pause, research wisely, and make decisions that honor your body, mind, and spirit.

🎙️ Topics include:

  • Understanding how diagnoses are made (and how they can go wrong)

  • The lifesaving power of second opinions

  • Smart ways to research your diagnosis without spiraling

  • The role of a care partner or advocate in medical decision-making

  • Why slowing down can lead to better health outcomes and peace of mind

  • 💡 Because when it comes to your health - knowledge, confidence, and patience are your best medicine.
