Listen Later

In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica welcome Vince Pitstick, an expert in functional medicine and metabolic health. Vince shares his personal journey from a sick child to a successful health coach, emphasizing the need for a new model of healthcare that prioritizes holistic approaches. The conversation delves into the challenges faced by nurses and healthcare workers, the importance of integrating various health modalities, and practical tips for maintaining health in demanding jobs. Vince's insights on the current state of nursing spark a thought-provoking discussion on how the medical system struggles to keep its own practitioners healthy. Vince compares nurses' roles to that of professional athletes who must prepare and recover properly. They emphasize the need for personal responsibility in managing stress and health. The concept of anhedonia is explored, highlighting how nurses can become desensitized to pleasure and the importance of resensitizing dopamine levels for better mental health. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of inflammation, adrenal fatigue, intermittent fasting, the importance of diet and exercise in recovery, and the significance of metabolic health.
