The Integrative Nurse LLC

The Integrative Nurse LLC Integrative RN working with professionals to bridge the gap between healthcare and preventative care by using a functional medicine approach.

Life can be chaotic right? I should know- I'm used to working in a cardiac ICU. It can get really crazy really quickly. But you don't have to be a nurse to feel the effects of stress and chaos. I'm here to help guide you towards a healthier lifestyle. Did I mention my other hat is a consultant? My passion is for helping others with their health. Sometimes I do it in the critical environment and so

metimes I do it from the preventative side. Which side would you like to meet me on? Let's work on prevention and enjoying life so I do not have to work on saving your life once it is too late! You Heart Life is my business for helping busy professionals to take care of their hearts both physically and emotionally. I customize plans for my clients because everyone is different and unique. I value that in people and in my care for them. Health Professionals- I work with practices to implement customized programs into your practice to generate ancillary income and to help the patients. Together we collaborate to create the type of program that works for your practice.

Finding healthcare providers that set up their practices to reflect real health and wellness is rare with the red tape and protocols of main stream corporate practices. Today, I got to visit where is located. Imagine a farm and health practice combo! I loved that I could get all my wellness check up, labs drawn, and discuss my pregnancy all while buying fresh local honey from their farm on my way out. Rainer is a FNP who worked in the ER as a RN and is now creating a wonderful health practice centered around integrative care. This is how HEALTH and CARE should be! The current model of SICK REPAIR isn’t working for most of us. Acute or critical incidents- sure we need this type of medicine and procedures. True health should be maintained and sustained.

I will help you, support you, and educate you. It is up to you- whether that happens in the preventative care setting or in the critical care setting. I prefer to meet my clients outside of the hospital world and prevent them from coming to my critical care world. Taking care of your health and maintaining it is far more beneficial to your life then trying to resuscitate it once it is failing. The best investment of your time and money is making sure you are taking care of your self! Life won’t ever be easy, it definitely won’t be perfect, but find the time to take care of your health. It is worth it!

A few weeks ago, I was invited to present for the Pacific Stroke Association’s Post Stroke Education Forum. My topic was on Building a Healthy Lifestyle After a Stroke. Since the group was located in Silicon Valley, I used some of my info on relating the human body to the language of software engineers from my time of working at Google headquarters. “Garbage in, garbage out” applies to the tech world as well as the health world. We discussed brain health and the foods to incorporate into their lives for better brain health and recovery. I loved that the post stroke patients participated in an exercise program as well.

The heart and the vascular system have a very important job! Without the heart pumping the blood our entire body needs, nothing would live very long. All organs need nutrients and oxygen that the blood delivers. This is why heart and vascular disease is a big deal. This is also why prevention and management of those diseases are an even bigger deal! Here are 5 Tips for Vascular Health: 1️⃣Lose excess weight 2️⃣Stop smoking- it increases vascular disease risk by 80-90% 3️⃣Drink plenty of water 4️⃣Decrease blood pressure 5️⃣Keep the muscles in your legs strong through physical exercise.

Catching up with old co-worker/friends after several years is always a good lunch date! I worked with briefly at Google, in fact she took my place when I left. I came back to Google as a guest to do a talk for the providers and another time to congratulate another co-worker of ours, .raghavan for opening her own business. Can’t believe we both live in Colorado now, but it was so great to catch up on the paths life is taking us!

“Weeding out the weak or waking up the beasts” as one of my mentors puts it. Hard times bring out the best or worst characteristics in people. Difficult, challenging phases can be the spark needed for change, the wake up call to action, or they can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. It’s all in how you react to hard times. You are only fooling yourself if you think you are immune to hard times. Life doesn’t pass anyone by without rough patches and down days. I have had to re-learn from these moments, grow, communicate, seek to understand and then level up.

Let the beat drop... but not for too long or you’ll be performing CPR💁‍♀️. There are many truths in healthcare that some do not want to admit or talk about, but here’s a few truth 💣 💣’s for you. 🏥 The system is broken. 💸 Money makes a lot of the decisions. 👨🏼‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️Not everyone wearing one of these are good at what they do. 💊We give a lot of medicine- sometimes inappropriately. 🔥 There is a lot of burnout. And not everyone’s ❤️ is in it for good. In all blunt honesty- sometimes it’s a 💩 show! (Literally) However, there are a lot of people in the trenches fighting for what’s right, advocating for their patients, and putting their patients and families’ needs above their own. We have seen sides of humanity that most haven’t and that most could not handle. To all of those whose tools of the trade include a 🩺- thank you for what you do! 🙏🙌👏 It’s not always easy- in fact most of the time it’s crazy, but here’s to those strong enough to be in this field!

As much as I would like to tell you that the heart is the most important organ of the body- the reality is they are ALL important. A heart is no good without a brain. The brain is no good without a liver. The liver is no good without the skin. The body is a complex, intricate system with all parts working together for the whole of the body. Everything is connected. If you have issues with one system, it will affect the other systems. This is why looking at health and disease as a whole body issue is important.

Caring about the state of your well being should start pre- birth (thanks mom) and continue well into your “golden years”. I would say if you make it to 100yrs old- you were doing something right for your health in all those years🙌. It’s about living a healthy life and having more life in those years. Don’t wait for the diagnosis, prognosis, hypnosis or any other -nosis before you start to pay attention to your mental, physical, and emotional health. Every 10 years of so you should do a full health evaluation. Prepare for the next decade. What worked in your 20s May not work in your 30s and what worked at 30 might not be the solution for 40. Re-evaluate and make new changes based on your new time in life.
