In this inspiring episode of Daily Influence, Gregg-Brooke Koleno welcomes Emily Gardner, a former nurse turned functional medicine practitioner, who is on a mission to help women reclaim their health after feeling dismissed by conventional medicine. Through her platform, EM Integrative Wellness, and her online presence as Nurse Acne Emily, Emily supports women in tackling chronic acne, gut issues, and hormonal imbalances with a personalized, root-cause approach.

Emily shares her personal struggle with painful cystic acne and debilitating health issues that weren’t resolved through traditional medical treatments — and how that experience fueled her passion for integrative care. We explore how she empowers women to take ownership of their health, the hidden impacts of stress on the body, and her advocacy for mental health resources in the nursing profession.
