Hello and welcome to my podcast, The Wellness Project with Des. On today’s podcast episode, I speak with Brittany Cano about bridging the gap between modern medicine and holistic wellness practices.
I’m Desiree, a Mental Health Therapist and Holistic Wellness Coach that is passionate about helping people improve their mental health and live a healthy and fulfilled life. One way I do this is by interviewing experts in the field of mental health and wellness as well as those that share their first hand accounts with their mental health journeys. In this episode, we will hear from Brittany about the importance of living a holistic lifestyle.
Even though Brittany Cano worked 15+ years as a critical care nurse, she was still struggling with her physical and mental health. She was overweight, and experiencing gastrointenstial issues, and she was suffering with depression and anxiety. Brittany’s life changed when a patient in her 60’s came in with all preventable conditions. This patient has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and she was obese. This was a wakeup call for Brittany. She explains that she began to realize that there are so many pieces to the puzzle of wellness. This realization led Brittany down a path to wellness and she wasn’t able to look back.
Brittany is the founder of Holistic Nurse Coaches, where she helps her clients get well through holistic practices that she calls, “Lifestyle medicine.” In our discussion, Brittany explains what Lifestyle Medicine is and how you can incorporate it into your life. She discusses more pieces to the puzzle of our well-being and gives actionable tips on how we can become more in tune with our body and what it needs.
With her unique blend of holistic practices and her background as an ICU nurse, Brittany is able to help us bridge the gap between conventional medicine and holistic approaches for sense of balanced well-being.
Listen to this episode to hear how Brittany was able to take control of her wellness journey and how you too can live a well-balanced and healthy lifestyle by incorporating holistic practices.
