Interview with Melissa Armstrong, BSN RN HWNC-BC with Holistic Health LLC

In this episode of The Functional Nurse Podcast, Brigitte Sager interviews Melissa Armstrong, a nurse coach and functional health practitioner who transitioned from conventional nursing to holistic medicine. Melissa shares her journey from working in the Pediatric ICU to opening her own Functional Health and Wellness Coaching business. She discusses how her experiences with unresolved trauma, chronic fatigue, anxiety, and gut issues led her to holistic and functional medicine, and how she now helps women address the root causes of their health issues.

Melissa and Brigitte explore topics like balancing nurse coaching with functional medicine, the importance of lifestyle interventions, scope of practice concerns, and the rewarding nature of helping patients achieve true transformation. Melissa also shares insights on charging for your worth, group coaching, and the growing demand for holistic healthcare services. This episode is packed with practical advice for nurses considering their own holistic or functional medicine practice.
