Nurse Practitioner and aesthetic provider Rachel Werner, NP joins Jamie & Jennifer to share her journey from bedside nursing to advanced aesthetics, functional medicine, and pediatric root-cause care. She discusses education beyond weekend courses, building patient trust, navigating imposter syndrome, and how her daughter’s autism diagnosis reshaped her mission. Practical talk on comprehensive bloodwork, gut–brain axis, methylation (MTHFR), glutathione, and the kinds of tests and supports parents often don’t hear about—plus what Precision offers (neuromodulators, fillers, regenerative services, IV therapy, functional medicine).
What you’ll learn:
- How to break into medical aesthetics the right way (training, safety, mentorship)
- Why functional medicine + aesthetics = better outcomes (root-cause vs symptoms)
- Pediatric lens: autism support, gut health, methylation/MTHFR, glutathione basics
- Building a career in a saturated market without burning out
- Creating deep patient relationships and measurable transformations
Quick answers:
- What is root-cause care? A whole-person approach that investigates contributors (gut health, hormones, micronutrients, genetics) instead of just treating symptoms.
- Why does training matter in aesthetics? Safety and results depend on anatomy knowledge, supervised practice, and ongoing education—not a single weekend course.
- How can functional medicine support kids? By assessing nutrition, gut health, inflammation, and genetics (e.g., methylation) to guide individualized plans with a clinician.
- What tests are often discussed? Comprehensive bloodwork and selective tools (e.g., folate receptor antibodies, methylation markers) as guided by a qualified provider.
