Principal Investigator with Nicole Bourne

Principal Investigator with Nicole Bourne

Welcome to Principle Investigator - the podcast redefining who holds the power in healthcare. We believe that patients aren't just participants in the system - they are the lead researchers, engineers, and detectives of their own bodies. Hosted by medical device innovator and chronic illness victor, Nicole Bourne, Principal Investigator is where science, personal health experimentation, and patient empowerment collide. If you have ever felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left behind by traditional medicine, you are not alone. This podcast is for those who want to move from passive patient to proactive investigator - using data, curiosity, and community to solve their own health puzzles. This isn't another podcast about wellness trends or vague advice. This is a show about reclaiming your authority in a space where patients can often feel that they must sit quietly and comply. Whether you are managing a chronic illness, recovering from a health crisis, or simply want to optimize your body through deep awareness and evidence-based-exploration - Principal Investigator will guide and challenge you. You'll hear from engineers, scientists, fellow patients, clinicians, and disruptors who believe the most powerful breakthroughs can also come from outside the system. Because when it comes to your health, you are the head researcher, and the lab? It's your body. Follow Principal Investigator and start designing your own path to healing. New episodes every week.
