In this episode, host Brigitte Sager, DNP, interviews Jill Jefferson, RN, BSN, HWN-BC, a holistic nurse and nurse coach with a passion for functional medicine. Jill shares her journey from business and economics to nursing, and how her interest in integrative approaches like acupuncture and yoga led her to embrace functional medicine. Together, Brigitte and Jill discuss how functional medicine bridges the gap between Eastern and Western healthcare practices by addressing the root cause of illness rather than just managing symptoms.

Jill also offers insight into starting her coaching practice, combining functional medicine and holistic tools, and empowering clients to make sustainable lifestyle changes. Whether you’re a nurse thinking about starting a private practice or looking to deepen your coaching skills, Jill’s journey and practical advice will inspire and guide you.
