Welcome back to the show. Today’s episode is one I wish every pregnant woman could hear before she ever steps foot in a provider’s office or hospital room.We’re talking about self-advocacy during pregnancy and birth — and what every woman needs to know about informed consent.Because here’s the truth:Pregnancy does not cancel your autonomy.Being in labor does not erase your rights.And wearing a hospital gown does not mean you surrender your voice.Let’s get into it.Nicole Angus BIO:Nicole Angus is the founder of Rooted Success Solutions, where she partners with naturopathic doctors and wellness professionals to strengthen their business operations, marketing systems, and patient communication. She is passionate about helping purpose-driven practitioners build sustainable, impactful practices that truly serve their communities. Before launching her business, Nicole trained and worked as a licensed birth doula, supporting women through pregnancy and childbirth. While she is not currently practicing as an active doula, she remains deeply connected to maternal health education and continues to advocate for informed consent, patient autonomy, and women feeling confident in medical spaces. Her unique perspective bridges both worlds — understanding the clinical environment from the provider side and the vulnerability of patients from firsthand birth support experience. Nicole believes that empowering women to advocate for themselves during pregnancy and birth creates stronger families, healthier outcomes, and more collaborative relationships between patients and providers. If you are interested in contacting Nicole and learning how she can help your business with social media or marketing email her at [email protected] Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.

Today we’re talking about a topic that is rapidly gaining attention in functional and integrative medicine: neuroinflammation.This silent process inside the brain may be a major contributor to symptoms that many patients struggle with — brain fog, fatigue, depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, and even neurodegenerative diseases.In this episode, we’ll break down four essential questions:1. What is neuroinflammation?2. What causes it?3. How can we detect it?4. And most importantly — how can we treat it naturally? Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.

Today we’re talking about something most of us experience but rarely talk about: shame. More importantly, we’re uncovering why shame often makes us hide behind a mask, repeat toxic behaviors, and even lie to ourselves and others—and what we can do to break free.Shame is a deeply painful emotion. It’s that feeling that says, ‘I am flawed,’ or ‘I am not enough.’ Unlike guilt, which is about what we’ve done, shame is about who we are.When we experience shame, the natural reaction is to protect ourselves. And one of the ways we do that is by putting on a mask. A mask is a persona we show to the world that hides our true feelings, our fears, and our vulnerabilities. While it can be helpful in the short-term, over time, it can trap us in cycles of toxic behavior. Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.

Today, we’re going deeper into one of the biggest forces that pulls us out of alignment: groupthink.Human beings are wired for connection. We are created for relationship—with God and with one another. But the same need that draws us toward community can also pressure us into silence, conformity, and self-betrayal.Today we’re exploring:·   Why belonging feels essential·   How groupthink forms·   How social conditioning shapes belief·   And how faith-based discernment helps us remain grounded without becoming isolatedThis episode is not about becoming rebellious or argumentative. It’s about learning how to stay faithful, thoughtful, and whole in a world that often rewards agreement over truth.In this episode we will discuss the following:The human need to belongWhat is groupthinkSocial conditioning and invisible influenceThe cost of conformityFaith-based discernment in community Please like, share and subscribe to the channel.

Welcome to Physician Heal Thyself, the podcast devoted to caring for the healer—mind, body, and spirit—so that we can live and practice with clarity, wisdom, and compassion.Today’s episode asks a timely and deeply important question:Are you turning to artificial intelligence for medical advice?And if so—what should you understand before you trust what it tells you?AI tools are now everywhere!They answer health questions instantly, explain diagnoses, suggest treatments, and offer reassurance in moments of fear.But when it comes to your body, your health, and your life, there are critical truths you deserve to know before proceeding.In this episode we will talk on the following points:Why people are turning to AI for medical adviseThe most important limitation - AI does not know youAI can sound certain even when it is wrongRisks of using AI instead of medical careWhen AI can be used wiselyWarning signs you may be over-relying on AIQuestions to ask before trusting AI adviseLearn how AI for natural medicine is not accurate. Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.

Welcome to Physician Heal Thyself, the podcast devoted to educating people on things related to health in a whole person approach.Today we’re exploring a question that often arises in clinics, hospitals, and patient portals:Why can’t doctors simply give patients their lab results without discussion?What legal responsibility does a physician have in reviewing and communicating those results?This topic sits at the intersection of law, ethics, patient safety, and trust—all central to the practice of medicine.Let’s walk through it together.We will touch on the following points:The Physicians Legal Duty of CareWhy Simply Releasing Results is NOT EnoughStandard of Care and Medical NegligenceEthical Responsibilities Beyond the LawWhy Conversation Matters in HealingThe Patient’s Role in This PartnershipPlease like, share and subscribe to the channel.

Maybe you don’t feel safe to feel loved and heard. Maybe you have been hurt by people who were supposed to be safe for you, and you had to survive abuse. This could make it difficult to see God, hear from God or want to be in a relationship with God. This conversation is for you.When surrender and submission come together in Christ, they form a posture of loving trust.This posture says:·   “God, You are good.”·   “God, You are safe.”·   “God, You lead me toward life.”John 10:10 tells us that Jesus came so we may have life—and have it abundantly.God does not ask for surrender to diminish you.He asks for surrender to restore you.Psalm 37:5 says, “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act.”Surrendered submission is not passive faith. It’s active dependence.Surrender in personal faith means:·   Trusting God in uncertainty·   Obeying even when it’s uncomfortable·   Allowing God to shape your heart, not just your behaviorJesus says in Matthew 16:24, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.

We’re talking about two words that often carry emotional weight, especially in church spaces: surrender and submission.For some people, these words bring comfort.For others, they bring confusion, resistance, or even pain.But Scripture shows us that when surrender and submission are rooted in Christ’s love, they are not about losing yourself—they are about finding life.So today we’re going to explore:·   What surrender and submission truly mean in Christ·   How this posture applies to personal faith·   How submission to God differs from submission in human relationships·   And how Jesus Himself models surrendered loveLet’s begin by grounding ourselves in Scripture.Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.

In a world flooded with opinions, influencers, spiritual leaders, and powerful systems competing for our trust, how do we know what’s truly from God? Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice.” That statement assumes discernment—not blind obedience. In this episode, we explore how to separate God’s voice from human voices, why discernment is a sign of spiritual maturity, and how to walk wisely in a world designed to distract, deceive, and misdirect us away from God’s true nature and calling.We are living in one of the loudest generations in history.Everyone has a voice.Everyone has a platform.Everyone claims authority.Spiritual leaders. Political leaders. Cultural movements. Algorithms. Trends. Even well-meaning Christians.And yet Jesus said something profound in John 10:27:“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”That verse doesn’t describe blind obedience.It describes recognition.If God’s people are meant to recognize His voice, then discernment isn’t optional—it’s essential.Today we’re talking about discernment in our time:How to separate God’s voice from human voicesWhy not every spiritual authority speaks for GodAnd how to stay anchored in truth when reality itself is constantly being shaped, filtered, and manipulated.This is not about fear.This is about clarity.And it’s time to stop being fooled.

Today we’re talking about health, but not just nutrition or exercise. We’re talking about whole-person health—mind, body, and spirit—and how it’s deeply impacted by whether or not we feel free to think for ourselves, speak truthfully, and live authentically.From a Christian perspective, we believe we are created with purpose, conscience, and free will. Scripture tells us we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139), yet many of us live disconnected from our inner convictions because of pressure to conform.Psychology calls this groupthink. Sociology shows us how environments shape behavior. Faith reminds us that alignment matters—because what we suppress internally doesn’t disappear; it shows up in our health.GENERAL REFLECTION QUESTIONS:1. Where in my life do I feel most “out of alignment” between what I believe and how I live?2. When was the last time I stayed silent even though I felt something was wrong?3. What physical sensations do I notice when I suppress my thoughts or emotions?4. Do I associate disagreement with danger or disobedience? Why?5. How do I typically respond to pressure—freeze, comply, withdraw, or resist?6. What does authenticity look like in my daily life, not just in theory?7. Where might God be inviting me to speak with wisdom and courage?8. What fears arise when I imagine being more honest?9. How has my environment shaped my beliefs about speaking up?10.  What would change in my health, relationships, or faith if I lived more aligned? Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.

If you’ve ever questioned your worth…If you’ve ever felt overlooked, insecure, or unsure of your purpose…Or if you’ve ever shrunk yourself instead of standing boldly in who God created you to be—this episode is for you.Today, we’re talking about confidence through identity—specifically, who you are in Christ—and how understanding that identity unlocks your God-given power and authority to live out your life’s purpose.Take a breath, lean in, and let’s get started.Let’s make this practical. Here are a few ways to grow daily confidence rooted in Christ:Renew your mind with truthReplace negative self-talk with Scripture-based affirmations.Pray with authorityPray believing God hears you—and that your prayers matter.Take courageous actionConfidence grows when faith moves.Surround yourself with faith-filled communityYou grow stronger when you’re supported by people who remind you who you are.Confidence isn’t instant—it’s cultivated.You are a son or daughter of God—rooted, chosen, and equipped.Closing Prayer:“God, thank You for reminding us of who we are in You. Help every person listening to see themselves through Your eyes—not fear, not insecurity, not comparison. Give them boldness to walk in their calling, confidence to use their voice, and faith to live out their purpose. Amen.” Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.

In a world that constantly defines women by appearance, productivity, or comparison, God offers something radically different—identity by design.Today’s episode is an invitation to step away from cultural noise and step into God’s truth about who women are, why He created them, and the value they bring to the world.We’ll explore:·   How God intentionally designed women·   The purpose women carry in God’s kingdom·   What Scripture says about a woman’s identity and worth·   And finally, a step-by-step guide on how to pray and rely on God to reveal your true identity as His daughterHere is a simple, biblical, step-by-step way for women to pray and rely on God to reveal who they are in Him:Psalm 62:8 tells us to pour out our hearts before Him.Pray openly about insecurity, confusion, or fear.“God, I want to see myself the way You see me.”James 1:5 promises that God gives wisdom generously when we ask.Ask specifically:“Lord, reveal my identity as Your daughter.”Romans 12:2 teaches that transformation happens through renewing the mind.Read Scriptures about identity slowly. Sit with them. Let them shape your thinking.2 Corinthians 10:5 reminds us to take every thought captive.When a negative thought comes, replace it with God’s truth:·   Lie: “I’m not enough.”·   Truth: “God’s grace is sufficient for me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)Prayer is not only speaking—it’s listening.God often speaks through:·   Scripture·   Peace in your spirit·   Godly counsel·   Repeated confirmationsTrust that He is revealing your identity step by step.Identity becomes real when it’s lived.Choose to walk as a daughter—confident, loved, obedient, and secure—even before you feel it.Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.

If you’re listening on Christmas Day, I want to start by saying this:I’m really glad you’re here.For many people, today is full of warmth, noise, laughter, and tradition.But for many others, Christmas can feel unexpectedly—or painfully—lonely.You might be physically alone.You might be surrounded by people and still feel disconnected.You might be grieving someone, navigating family tension, or quietly wondering why everyone else seems to be coping better than you are.Today’s episode is for all of that.We’re talking about holiday loneliness—why it happens, why it’s so common, and what can actually help.Not in a “fix yourself” way.But in a way that honors what you’re feeling.Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.

Listen to the conversation with Pastor Joey and Pastor Judy, founders of School of Purpose a Ministry School; as we have a conversation on what is deliverance, what is demonic possession vs. demonic oppression. We discuss the demonic entanglement with the soul. Where so many people do not believe in demons; and we discuss why this can be an obstacle in our health, lives and walk with God. Learn about what are some ways that people open doors to demonic, witchcraft, and generational offenses to God that open people up to. We share our experiences where God has delivered people and talk about something that many times we don’t want to talk about in the medical community and even in some Christian denominations, religions and churches.Deliverance looks different every time and it is a unique process for each person. Deliverance is the entanglement of demons with the souls of people; and the power of deliverance comes from the Holy Spirit. There is no shame, guilt, judgement when people are freed!Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.Like, share this episode and make sure to subscribe to the channel for future episodes.Like, share this episode and make sure to subscribe to the channel for future episodes.School of Purpose: School of Purpose was founded by Pastors Joey and Judy Salinas.

Learn about what School of Purpose is, who it is for and why to be part of it. Pastor Judy Salinas shares more on this ministry school. Healing is an “undoing” of what you thought was right and normal, and God makes room for the new to come in; making space for God in our hearts. We have to reach a place of courage and humility to get help. Dr. Lara shares her experience when she suffered from a concussion after a motor vehicle accident. She shares why it is important that she can be herself with all, including her patients. When you are struggling you need to be able to put your walls down and say “I need help.” Don’t become numb to traumatic experiences, and be in survival mode and make it the new norm if you don’t process it. Have someone to talk to. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and on the other side there is a breakthrough. Find a safe space and safe people. Setting healthy boundaries when you are in an industry where you serve people. Making your health and wellness a priority. The Lord does not call us to say yes to everyone and everything. Sometimes the most Holy response is to say “No” 1. Make time for yourself – put yourself to the calendar for selfcare. Working out, walking, praying, whatever is important for you at the time.2. Communicate your needs with your family and others.3. Put yourself on your “To do list”4. Fill your own cup before pouring into others5. Eat more protein to provide energy, manage blood sugars, and it helps with cravings.6. Find at least one trustworthy person, and ideally someone who can help guide you.7. Take it to God. God doesn’t condemn you when you are trying to heal.Like, share this episode and make sure to subscribe to the channel for future episodes.School of Purpose: School of Purpose was founded by Pastors Joey and Judy Salinas.

This conversation gets very real, as Pastor Judy and Dr. Lara talk about the burdens that both doctors and pastors face. Imposter syndrome is an orphan spirit!

How do more people in these professions break the silence? We discuss the stigma around mental illness in religious communities and even in medicine. The two things that pastors and doctors often experience, mental health and feeling isolated. Suffering in silence is not what God wants for His people who are continuously pouring into other people’s wellbeing. The conversation is so good, you don’t want to miss this!

As a Follower of Jesus Christ and as a Naturopathic Medical Doctor, I understand the power of prayer in the healing journey of people. As physicians we can pray for our patients, and use herbs, nutrition and other healing modalities without compromising our faith and values. Yet so many doctors and health professionals shy away from praying. I understand the concerns that can rise from something like this. However, prayer brings healing and hope to many people. Today, I want to explore how prayer works, not just as a ritual—but as real power. A power that aligns spirit, soul and body with God’s healing will.”In this episode, I discuss the following:1. The Power of Prayer - Prayer is your Secret Weapon2. Prayer is Your Communication directly with God3. The Purpose of Prayer4. The Impact of Prayer5. Why it Makes Sense for Doctors, Clinics, and Hospitals to Incorporate Prayer6. Natural Healing and God’s Design7. When Healing Doesn’t Look Like We Hoped“Natural medicine isn’t in opposition to faith—it’s a reflection of it.God created the earth and everything in it. That includes plants with medicinal properties, rhythms of rest and work, and bodies that can often heal when nourished properly.Many natural practitioners talk about the body’s innate ability to heal itself. As a believer, I see that as the wisdom of God woven into creation.And when we pray, we are not rejecting physical healing methods—we’re blessing them.Share your thoughts. Would you like your doctor and nurses to pray over you? How would this change the outcome of your health?  Join the conversation.Disclosure: This content is for educational purposes; this is not intended to treat anyone medically.
