In this episode of the Functional Nurse Podcast, Brigitte Sager interviews Bev Mazza, an integrative registered nurse and founder of Purely Present Health, who specializes in stress management, mindfulness, and behavior change. Bev shares her unique journey from psychology and veterinary medicine into nursing, and ultimately into functional and integrative care, where she now helps clients address the root causes of chronic health issues through lifestyle and mindset shifts.
This conversation dives deep into why stress is often the missing link in chronic illness, weight struggles, poor sleep, and burnout. Bev explains how simple, accessible tools like breathwork and mindful awareness can create powerful shifts in health outcomes without the need for complex testing or interventions. They also explore scope of practice for nurses, entrepreneurship, and how foundational habits like sleep, nutrition, and stress management can transform patient outcomes. If you're a nurse, health professional, or someone navigating chronic health challenges, this episode will help you rethink where true healing begins.
