The ​nursing ​profession ​has ​always ​been ​a ​cornerstone ​of ​the ​healthcare ​system, ​but ​in ​recent ​years, ​the ​pressure, ​burnout ​and ​emotional ​toll ​have ​reached ​crisis ​levels. That’s why we wanted to spend time with functional health expert Vince Pitstick, founder & CEO of Vidal Coaching, to help bring awareness to the hidden epidemic facing America’s nursing workforce. Vince draws on decades of experience as a coach and advocate for holistic wellness to reveal how chronic stress, broken reimbursement models, immune system overload, and poor nutritional support are pushing nurses to their breaking point.

Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode:

🧠 The real reasons behind emotional burnout and chronic stress in nurses
💉 Why today’s healthcare model is failing the very people who keep it running
📊 Shocking stats about nurse health, weight gain, and metabolic strain
🌡️ How adrenaline, cortisol, and blood sugar wreak havoc on the body
❄️ The surprising power of cold plunges and breathwork to reset the nervous system
