The Integrative Clinician by BridgeWell
You didn't become a nurse practitioner just to diagnose disease and prescribe medication.
You became an NP to solve problems, understand the whole patient, and make a lasting difference.
The Integrative Clinician by BridgeWell is a podcast for nurse practitioners who want to think differently about patient care.
Each episode combines real patient scenarios, practical clinical reasoning, and evidence-informed integrative medicine to help you organize complexity, recognize patterns, and make confident clinical decisions.
Rather than memorizing protocols or chasing the latest trends, you'll learn the thinking frameworks behind integrative practice. We'll explore hormones, metabolic health, obesity medicine, thyroid physiology, gut health, longevity, laboratory interpretation, lifestyle medicine, and the everyday clinical decisions that help patients feel better and live healthier lives.
Whether you're just beginning your journey into integrative medicine or you're already incorporating it into practice, this podcast will help you strengthen your clinical reasoning, ask better questions, and care for patients with greater confidence.
Dr. Sheri Erwin, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, a Doctor of Nursing Practice, board-certified family nurse practitioner, specialty-trained functional and integrative medicine clinician, educator, and founder of BridgeWell Integrative Education, hosts the podcast.
Because becoming an integrative clinician isn't about learning more protocols. It's about learning how to think.
