This episode features two nurse practitioners, Laura Demuth and Jackie Gianelli, who are not just managing careers but actively carving out new, non-traditional roles that place women's whole-person health at the center of care. Both leaders reflect on the systemic barriers that have slowed progress in women's health—from underfunded research in areas like menopause and endometriosis to flawed reimbursement models—and reveal how their clinical skills, like critical thinking and cross-functional leadership, made the leap to executive roles possible. Ultimately, they offer a collective mantra to clinicians feeling "boxed in": follow your curiosity, know you have options, and don't take the first "no" as gospel.

The conversation highlights the imperative to move beyond the "cookie-cutter" approach by leveraging new, objective diagnostic tools to aid early detection, prioritizing women's inclusion in clinical research, and adopting a compassionate, integrative model that places the patient at the center of their own wellness journey.
