Long before she became a nurse practitioner, Brittany Bunjovac was the kid leading a protest for healthier school lunches. 

That same passion for understanding the connection between nutrition, wellness, and long-term health eventually led her into aesthetics, hormone optimization, and preventative medicine.

In this episode, Brittany shares how a serious complication from a nose filler treatment sparked her interest in aesthetic medicine, why she pursued becoming a nurse practitioner to gain more autonomy in patient care, and how she built BBUN Beauty Injectables and Wellness around a philosophy of treating root causes instead of chasing symptoms.


In this episode:

  • How Brittany's childhood passion for nutrition shaped her career path into wellness medicine
  • Why she left traditional nursing behind to become a nurse practitioner and business owner
  • The difference between reactive healthcare and proactive wellness care
  • How she helps patients uncover root causes instead of simply treating symptoms
  • Her approach to hormone optimization and why "normal" lab values don't always mean optimal health
  • The personal hormone challenges she faced and how they impacted her physically and mentally
  • The growing popularity of peptides and the risks associated with purchasing them online without medical supervision
  • The role of aesthetics within a larger wellness and longevity strategy
