    Ep 46: Plants vs Prescriptions: Lets Talk Functional Health

    We are going to chat about the amazing world of functional medicine and provide you with super valuable information that might change your whole perspective on the choices you make when it comes to your health. Here is a quick bio about our special guest, Danielle Stunzi.  Danielle is a 40-year-old wife and mom of two and a Charleston, South Carolina native who has had a passion for health, nutrition, and fitness forever. After many years of working in a fast-paced corporate environment and rarely effectively managing her stress, her health began to deteriorate. She wasn't sleeping well, her libido had tanked, her hair was falling out, bloating after every meal, and acne breakouts were a regular occurrence. On the outside, SHE "looked" pretty healthy with an ideal weight, and "great energy"..but she was pushing through even when my body was signaling otherwise. It wasn't until she began doing her own research and became her own health advocate that she sought out Functional lab testing to see what was going on inside. That's when she discovered her hormones were low, inflammation was high, she had several food sensitivities, protein digestion issues, mold toxicity, and her gut microbiome was out of balance. Not only did a Functional approach to health and healing bring her body back into balance, but it also led her to the realization that she wanted to teach others how to become their own health advocates and truly heal naturally from the inside out! now she is proudly a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner® (FDNP or Health Practitioner for short), and says nothing brings me more joy and fulfillment than supporting and empowering others to take their health into their own hands to achieve their personal health goals!

    Ep 42: Diaries of a Night Nurse

    Hey, friends!! We are so pumped for today’s episode because we’re diving into a topic that’s super close to my heart—babies!! You knew this was coming sooner or later, right? Haha. And to make it even better, we have a very special guest with us today, my amazing friend and night nurse, Mandy Owens. Mandy’s story is truly inspiring—she grew up on a tobacco farm in Virginia and found her love for babies early on when her mom ran a daycare out of their home. That passion led her to the UVA Nursing School, where she graduated with a Bachelor’s in Science and Nursing in 2001. Since then, Mandy has been all about helping moms and babies. She started out as a Mother/Baby RN in Annapolis, Maryland, always going above and beyond for her patients. After taking some time to care for her own kiddos, she returned to her calling in 2013 by launching her own company. Over her 23 years as a Registered Nurse, Mandy’s worked with everyone from pregnant teens to high-risk maternity patients, and she’s been a lifesaver for so many parents and newborns in private homes. She’s even taught childbirth, breastfeeding, infant CPR, and newborn care classes in both hospitals and privately. Natalie  first met Mandy about six months into her pregnancy when she was desperately searching for a night nurse. Natalie was beyond thrilled to get on Mandy’s schedule—she’s in high demand here in Charleston, and for all the right reasons. Mandy is an absolute expert when it comes to babies, and before we jump into all the baby talk, I just have to share her impressive credentials with you: BSN/RN Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Virginia, 2001 Certified Baby Planner (CBP) Certified Gottman Educator (CGE) Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE) Tune in to hear all the guidance for newborns and more!
