In this engaging episode host Brigitte Sager, DNP interviews Samantha Hamilton, MSN-ED, RN. Samantha shares her journey through nursing and her transition into functional medicine. From her early days as an ICU nurse in a high-need area of Milwaukee to becoming an organ procurement coordinator and eventually working as a heart failure clinician, Samantha's passion for patient education shines through. She explains her mission to empower patients by teaching them to make informed decisions and uncovering the root causes of health issues. Samantha reflects on how this approach extends beyond healthcare, touching every aspect of life—from stress management to personal growth.
The episode also offers a behind-the-scenes look at Samantha's efforts to build a business that combines her creative energy with her commitment to helping others. She candidly discusses the challenges of starting something new, from choosing a website platform to investing in branding, and the fulfillment she finds in balancing teaching, functional medicine, and entrepreneurship. Samantha highlights the importance of slowing down, prioritizing self-care, and supporting others—whether they’re overwhelmed parents, busy professionals, or healthcare workers—to achieve healthier, more balanced lives. The video serves as a motivating call to action for anyone looking to find holistic solutions and make meaningful changes.
