From Burnout to Purpose: Building a Faith-Led Perimenopause Practice as a Functional Nurse: Rachel’s Story

In this episode, I’m joined by Functional Nurse Rachel Pope, BSN, RN, BC-FMP, owner of Aligning Pathways, who shares her journey from debilitating, unresolved symptoms to true healing through functional medicine and faith. After feeling dismissed by a conventional healthcare system that primarily offered pharmaceutical or surgical solutions, Rachel sought a more comprehensive approach that addressed root causes and whole-person wellness. Today, she supports women navigating weight loss resistance and perimenopause naturally through functional medicine strategies grounded in both science and Christian faith. We also discuss the realities of modern nursing and how entrepreneurship can open doors to freedom, flexibility, and purpose-driven work.Rachel’s website:https://www.rachelpopern.comBook a free discovery call with Rachelhttps://my.practicebetter.io/#/6793b15889084d63682dc901/bookings?s=67c0a85c996644489dc8e669&step=dateFunctional medicine training for nurses:Interested in becoming a functional medicine nurse?  Join Melissa live at the next webinar www.functionalnurseacademy.com/webinar-registrationLearn more about the Functional Nurse Academy https://www.functionalnurseacademy.comFunctional medicine training for all other healthcare specialties and health and wellness coaches:https://www.christianfma.comThis show is also syndicated every Tuesday at 10am EST on The Nurses Report on America Out Loud Talk Radio
