You became a nurse to help people heal.

That belief is what inspired Dr. Brigitte Sager, DNP, FNP-C, IFMCP, CNE, to create the Institute for Functional Nursing™, a place where nurses can learn functional medicine through the nursing lens and practice root-cause care with confidence.

As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, functional medicine educator, and CEO of IFN, Dr. Sager is passionate about empowering nurses to reclaim their role as healers, educators, and leaders in healthcare transformation.

Through mentorship, education, and a commitment to scope-safe functional nursing, she is helping nurses move beyond symptom management and become the ones who connect the dots.

Because there is a better way to nurse.

And the future of functional medicine needs nurses. Functional medicine, through the nursing lens.

Practice root-cause care safely, confidently, and within scope.

More clarity for you. Deeper healing for your patients.

What if the key to transforming patient outcomes isn't changing your nursing role, but changing how you see the patient story?

In this episode of the Functional Nurse Podcast, Samantha Hamilton MSN-Ed, RN sits down with Tabetha Hystad RN to discuss her journey from traditional community nursing to a root-cause, functional approach to care. After experiencing burnout, navigating personal health challenges, and questioning the limitations of conventional healthcare, Tabetha discovered a new way of supporting patients through education, lifestyle strategies, and deeper clinical curiosity. Together, they explore how functional nursing can be integrated into everyday practice, even in home care and rural healthcare settings, while sharing powerful insights on sleep, blood sugar balance, pain management, women's health, fertility, and whole-person wellness. This inspiring conversation is a must-listen for nurses looking to create greater impact while rediscovering purpose in their careers.

Nobody here says “your labs are normal” without asking deeper questions, looking at the full picture, and truly listening to symptoms 🤍

Functional medicine reminds us that healthcare is about connecting the dots, asking why, and treating the person—not just the diagnosis. So grateful for this community of functional NPs learning, growing, and becoming better clinicians together.

Are your credentials telling the right story about your expertise as a nurse?

In this episode of the Functional Nurse Podcast, Dr. Brigitte Sager breaks down the often confusing “alphabet soup” after a nurse’s name and explains how nurses, nurse practitioners, and advanced practice providers can list their credentials with more clarity and confidence. From RN, MSN, APRN, and DNP to board certifications, holistic nursing credentials, and functional medicine training, this conversation helps nurses understand the difference between degrees, licensure, certifications, and certificates—and why that distinction matters. Whether you’re building a professional brand, updating your resume, launching a wellness practice, or stepping into functional and integrative healthcare, this episode offers important insight into credibility, professionalism, and the evolving future of functional nursing.
