Episode Details

A registered nurse for over 30 years, Nancy Thompson’s own hormone breast cancer diagnosis completely changed how she views healthcare. Today, as a functional medicine coach, she helps women navigate perimenopause, menopause, and holistic recovery by looking at the root causes instead of just symptoms.

In this insightful conversation, Nancy shares:

• Life in her 20s as a young nurse and new mom

• How her breast cancer diagnosis transformed her approach to healing

• Why symptoms are messages from the body, not life sentences

• The difference between treating symptoms and addressing root causes

• Practical holistic perspectives on health, skin, and daily habits

• Encouragement for women feeling overwhelmed by their body’s changes

If you’re in your 20s (or beyond) dealing with health concerns, burnout, or wanting a more whole-person approach to wellness, this episode offers clarity and hope.

Nancy’s work blends clinical nursing, functional medicine, and holistic wellness to help women understand they are not broken — their bodies are communicating.
