Tattoos and Telehealth
Tattoos and Telehealth Hosted by Nicole Baldwin, APRN & Kelli White, APRN. Not your typical health podcast. Tattoos and Telehealth is where two badass nurse practitioners get real about all things telehealth—no scrubs required. Nicole and Kelli keep it light, unfiltered, and totally not medical advice. Just two gals with ink, insight, and a lot to say. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or wine), and let’s talk telehealth. Medical disclaimer.

Episodes
We go deep on the gut brain axis and how gut bacteria can influence inflammation, stress response, energy, and even brain signaling. We follow a real clinical rabbit hole from unexpected C. diff and severe fatigue to emerging autism microbiome research, plus what’s promising and what’s not proven.
• gut brain axis basics and why it is bi-directional
• the four major signaling routes...
PCOS has never been just “cysts,” and that misunderstanding has cost women years of clarity and real care. We’re Nicole Baldwin and Kelly White, board-certified nurse practitioners, and we’re unpacking the news that finally matches what women’s health providers have known for a long time: PCOS is being renamed PMOS, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. That shift matters because it...
A heart attack at 52 should not be a “surprise,” and yet high cholesterol makes that kind of shock far too common. We are two family nurse practitioners, and we are getting very real about why cholesterol is both necessary and dangerous, especially when you have no symptoms to warn you that plaque is building in your arteries.
Nicole shares a personal story about a deputy sheriff who died from a s...
Telehealth flexibility can hide a different kind of burnout, where the work never stops and the human connection feels harder to reach through screens. We talk through what drains us most in virtual care and the boundaries that help us stay present for patients without living at work.
• provider burnout showing up differently in telehealth workflows
• feeling pressure to move faster without room-to...
We break down the new AHA cholesterol guidelines and why LDL goals are getting lower based on your personal risk. We explain the tests that change the whole picture, including lipoprotein(a), ApoB, and coronary artery calcium scoring, and why women’s reproductive history now counts toward cardiovascular risk.
• why LDL cholesterol drives plaque buildup and heart attack risk
• how the 2025 AHA...
A package shows up cold-packed at your door, your telehealth clinician says it’s from a compounding pharmacy, and suddenly you’re staring at a label thinking: how do I know what’s actually in here? That question gets even louder when the topic turns to peptides, “gray market” suppliers, and headlines that make it sound like anything goes. We wanted a real, practical breakdown from someo...
Some weeks don’t just feel busy, they feel heavy. When you’re caring for patients all day while juggling your own stress, family health scares, and the nonstop noise of modern life, it’s easy to slip into emotional exhaustion and call it normal. We hit pause and talk about gratitude as a practical reset, not a fluffy idea, especially for people working in healthcare, telehealth, and other high-stre...
The best care plans are the ones people can actually follow, and that starts with meeting patients where they are. We talk candidly about why telehealth and virtual care can feel radically different from traditional office visits, not just because you can join from home, but because you get room to breathe, explain, and be heard. From the jump, we lay out the basics and the boundaries, then dig into the real value: ...
Menopause doesn’t just announce itself with hot flashes; it sneaks into your mirror with paper-thin skin, a tighter, drier face, and that telltale “gobbler” neck. We got curious about why midlife skin changes so fast and built a gentle alternative to harsh actives: a custom-compounded cream with estriol, DHEA, collagen, and hyaluronic acid designed for sensitive, perimenopausal skin. The goal wasn&...
A single shift can hold a lifetime. We dive into The Pit and why its hour-by-hour format nails the rhythm of real hospital work: the long minutes, the sudden crises, and the way a calm voice can hide a racing heart. From the first punch-throwing scene to the last hallway sprint, we map those moments to our own time in the ICU and OR, where the stakes were just as high and the fluorescent lights just as unforgiving.<...
A panicked shout from the other room, a young roofer on the ground, and a fogged-in helicopter set the stakes before coffee even kicks in. From there, we follow a second crisis that unfolded in silence: a wound vac doing its job on a fresh amputation, then a sudden insurance change that triggered a computer discharge with no warning. We walk through both moments—the immediate trauma response and the slow-burn ...
Ready for a frank, field-tested guide to building a real telehealth business without losing your mind to 50-state rules? We sit down with the ER physician turned CEO of Guardian MD who turned COVID-era travel medicine lessons into a scalable system for compliance, collaboration, and patient outcomes. From multi-state licensing nightmares to the surprising places boards disagree, this conversation unpacks what ...
The year didn’t start with a neat checklist—it started with truth. We’ve been caring for aging parents, navigating dementia, recovering from surgery, and managing clinics while our minds ran 24/7. That pressure cooker led us back to basics: faith as a real anxiety reset, presence as a daily skill, and boundaries that keep our work from swallowing our lives. Along the way we asked a bigger question:...
We unpack why fiber and water matter more than diet trends and share a real-world cautionary tale of an all-meat plan gone wrong. Practical, simple steps help you reach fiber and protein needs, protect your kidneys, and choose foods that actually make you feel better.
• role of fiber in gut health, cholesterol, and blood sugar
• risks of extreme diets and kidney strain from low water
• soluble vs insolu...
What if your strongest self is one tap away? We sit down with trainer Kate Bustos to unpack how telehealth turned strength training into something simple, portable, and surprisingly personal. Kate shares the story of moving online during 2020, juggling a newborn, and discovering that short, focused sessions with dumbbells and kettlebells can outpace hour-long gym trips—because consistency wins.
Across t...
We unpack how functional medicine finds and treats root causes when standard labs say “normal” but you still feel off. Kelly explains testing, visit flow, and real cases where targeting inflammation and the gut led to better sleep, energy, and resilience.
• why a patient-first, whole-life intake changes outcomes
• when “normal” ranges don’t match how you feel
• inflammation...
We break down the new hypertension guidelines and explain how unchecked pressure harms the brain, heart and kidneys. We show how to measure blood pressure the right way, when lifestyle is enough, when meds are needed and when to head to the ER.
• new American Heart Association thresholds and targets
• why hypertension causes stroke and organ damage
• genetic stiffness versus lifestyle-driven pressure
We explain how to start a telehealth visit, what it costs, and what we can treat, with clear steps for chat, phone, or video care that fits your day. We show how our patient liaison removes tech hurdles, how to use insurance for labs and prescriptions, and why bridge care saves time and stress.
• HIPAA-secure intake and fast outreach
• Chat, phone, or video based on your preference
• Patient liaison sup...
We connect the dots between chronic inflammation, stem cell degradation, and why targeting immune overdrive can change pain, brain fog, and aging trajectories. We share how low-dose naltrexone and peptide stacking offer simpler, safer paths beyond polypharmacy.
• inflammation’s role in degrading stem cells and repair
• case study: fibromyalgia and Sjögren’s flares
• why LDN supports immune m...
Kirsten Karchmer shares her revolutionary approach to women's fertility through technology, transforming how we understand reproductive health and making effective solutions accessible to all women regardless of budget or location.
