Ep30: Nurses: The Powerful Future of Functional Medicine Highlights

"When you use functional medicine, you find the "why" for someone, and it is always about their lifestyle, their exposures, their thought processes, everything that really aligned with Nurse Coaching for me, because I was able to help people guide through that process.

It was really fundamental Nursing practice. I realized that RNs are really the future of functional medicine, in my opinion. The skills we get in Nursing school just need to be lit up, and we can really help people heal."  ~Brigitte Sager, MSN, RN, ARNP, FNP-C, NCMP, NC-BC

Ah-Ha's

• The functional medicine model is a personalized, patient-centered, science-based approach empowering patients and practitioners to become partners to promote optimal wellness and address underlying causes of disease. Coupling this approach the unique skillset and knowledge of a Nurse’s art and science foundation just makes sense!
• Functional medicine seeks to find the ‘why’ for someone through a collaborative approach
• Functional medicine supports lifestyle strategies and helping patient, clients and communities implement them into their busy lives
• Let’s stop underestimating the solid foundation that Nurses already have.  Our education sets us up for success like no other profession.  This is why Nurses can do anything and be successful!
• Nurse, you are ready!  Never undervalue yourself.  Set healthy boundaries.  Make connections.
• Healing is the future of healthcare, and that is who we are as Nurses
