What does functional nursing look like in Canada, and where do nurses fit into the future of root-cause care?

In this episode of the Functional Nurse Podcast, Samantha Hamilton sits down with Canadian nursing professionals Megan Kroeker, Mat Chartrand, and Tabetha Hystad to explore how functional medicine is taking shape within Canada's healthcare landscape. Together, they discuss the realities of working in a publicly funded, often reactive system and the opportunities for nurses and nurse practitioners to bring prevention, lifestyle medicine, patient education, and root-cause thinking into their work. From private practice and scope of practice to functional lab testing, supplements, and the differences between practicing as an RN versus an NP, this conversation offers valuable insight for Canadian nurses wondering what a career in functional nursing could actually look like. If you're ready to explore new ways to help patients become more informed and proactive participants in their health, this episode is for you.
