If you’re a nurse who feels inflamed, exhausted, anxious, or like your body just doesn’t respond the way it used to… this episode is going to hit differently.

Because what if it didn’t start with your job?

What if it started in nursing school?

In this raw, unfiltered episode, Jessica Veloza, Nurse Practitioner and Functional Medicine Coach, breaks down the truth no one is saying out loud:

👉 Nursing school acts as a hazing process
👉 It conditions your nervous system to live in chronic stress
👉 And it sets the foundation for burnout, weight gain, hormonal dysfunction, and insulin resistance

Through real, lived clinical experiences — from high-pressure check-offs to ICU trauma to the everyday chaos nurses normalize — Jessica connects the dots between:

• Nervous system dysregulation
• Cortisol and blood sugar imbalances
• Insulin resistance and weight gain
• Chronic inflammation and long-term disease risk

If you’ve ever thought:
“Why can’t I lose weight anymore?”
“Why do I feel so reactive, exhausted, or disconnected?”
“Why does my body feel broken?”

This episode will give you the answer.

And more importantly — it will show you that nothing is wrong with you.

Your body adapted.

Now it’s time to heal.

Jessica also shares how she reversed this pattern in her own life after years of yo-yo dieting and nervous system dysfunction — and how she now helps nurses do the same through her Metabolic Recovery Method for Nurses.
