“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” — Isaiah 40:31

“Bridging the gap between the stethoscope and the soul.”- Nurse Shenell

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” – 3 John 1:2

If Your Cells Could Speak, What Would They Say?

This week’s newsletter takes you back to the very first episode of the All One Nurse podcast, “The Impact of Nutrition on Health and Wellness with Veronica Brown”. Veronica Brown, FNP-C, shares her journey from long-term care to entrepreneurship. She is a board-certified nurse practitioner and founder of The Wellness Lounge. The Wellness Lounge offers services to help individuals enhance their diet, manage stress, or address a health or sexual challenge. Its mission is to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

In this rich conversation, Veronica shares her personal journey, clinical insights, and passion for empowering underserved communities through nutrition and holistic care. She highlights the link between food and chronic diseases. She also focuses on how our nutrition and what we consume affect our bodies, whether positively or negatively. So, based on your daily consumption of nutrients or the lack thereof, what would your body say to you?

Key Takeaways of Veronica’s Discussion:

Veronica’s path from long-term care to launching her own wellness brand
The link between nutrition and chronic disease prevention
How food options impact health outcomes in marginalized communities
Nutrition’s role in urology—bladder health, kidney stones, and prostate cancer
Proactive strategies for weight loss, hydration, and sexual wellness
The importance of having a primary care provider for long-term health

Veronica reminds us: “Being proactive about your health is an act of self-love and stewardship.”

In Conclusion

Nutrition is essential and the first step to preventing many chronic health problems. This episode also highlights preventative measures to stay healthy and know your body. We often focus on communicating effectively with others. However, can we also ensure that we communicate effectively with ourselves when it comes to our health, which is ultimately our own responsibility? As healthcare providers, we can often neglect our own health in the pursuit of caring for others. However, a healthier version of ourselves will enable us to care for others more effectively and for a longer period with quality health.
