Functional Medicine: Using Nursing Fundamentals to Become True Healers
Today we have guest with us who finally found a way to be healer and advocate while helping her patients empower themselves toward wellness. Brigitte Sager shares her journey from critical care nurse to becoming a “manager of disease;” the more she learned, the more frustrated in her job she became.
Now, as a nurse coach and in her functional medicine consulting practice, she is teaching new nurses in the field that you don’t have to suffer to care for others! Brigitte shares about the role that functional medicine can play in professional burnout and answers some of her students’ most-asked questions.
We’re grateful for her time and experience with us, thank you Brigitte!
Functional medicine feels parallel to Trauma-Informed Nursing Care: Brigitte writes in a blog: “[FM] content was material I had learned in nursing school, but they are topics that are rarely given any priority in modern healthcare.”
