Everyone Hates Healthcare Podcast Everyone Hates Healthcare For many people today, healthcare feels like we’re behind enemy lines. The system is geared to take care of us, but why do we feel like we’re in it alone? Every week Michael Swartz (@mrfixhealthcare) interviews guests that share their experiences about healthcare. The stories reveal the shocking reality that each guest has faced on their healthcare journey that will arm you with what you need to get the most out of your healthcare experience. Tune in and power up. Holistic Health for Moms-Functional Medicine, Meal Planning, Weight Loss, Hormone Imbalance, More Energy, Bloating Jennifer Coble: Nurse Practitioner, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Life Change Advocate, #boymom Hey Mama! Welcome to The Lifestyle Medicine Project. If you’re ready to finally commit to life-long health, feeling better, and improving your mental and physical health for good, you’re in the right place. Hi! I’m Jennifer Coble and I am a Nurse Practitioner, certified functional medicine practitioner, boy mom to 3, wife, Uber driver, lunchroom lady, cleaning lady, dog walker and much more… and I have a twang because I’m from GA. Basically, I’m a normal mom just like you who’s figured out the secrets to life-long health. I have a calling on my life to transform the way that you view and experience healthcare because I believe that traditional medicine is leading people astray. We don’t need to just give a pill for the ill and send people away. We need to empower people to have true lifestyle transformation both internally and externally… and most importantly commit and be disciplined to the process! This is where we’re going to dig into the root cause of what’s going on in you Tough Love with Theresa Theresa Fallow Theresa blends her love for God together with 25+ years of experience in traditional healthcare plus her personal experiences solving her own health struggles. Her daily desire is to help God's people regain their health so they can better be God's hands and feet. Buckle up because she is known as a truth-teller and unapologetically shares about her faith and what she knows about health, wellness, and disease. She famously says "you don't have to be sick anymore. You can start making different choices today, that will have an impact on your health and on your overall quality of life."
