In this no-holds-barred episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole breaks down the myth of modern medicine’s obsession with diagnosis. She challenges the mainstream approach of labeling symptoms for the sake of profit, rather than uncovering the root cause of illness. With over 30,000 new diagnostic codes recently added to the system, she questions whether this represents true progress—or just another layer of confusion and dependency designed to feed the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Nicole urges listeners to ask deeper questions, understand the hierarchy of causes, and stop outsourcing their wellbeing to a system that thrives on chronic disease.
Drawing from her own motherhood journey, clinical expertise, and everyday examples, Dr. Nicole emphasizes the importance of embodied knowledge and self-trust. She encourages listeners to step into their power, learn how their bodies work, and know when to seek real, integrative support. This episode isn’t just a critique—it’s a call to action to become the CEO of your own health, build generational wisdom, and stop blindly accepting surface-level solutions.

What you’ll learn:
Diagnosis isn’t the answer: it’s the entry point to profit. Most diagnoses simply label symptoms without addressing their underlying cause, keeping people dependent on external treatments.
Healing requires understanding the hierarchy of root causes. Emotional trauma, toxins, and pathogens may all be involved, but identifying what’s foundational is key to lasting resolution.
You are the authority on your own health: Knowledge is power; educating yourself about food, stress, tech exposure, and daily choices creates long-term wellbeing and autonomy.
Quotes:
“Diagnosis codes don’t solve problems—they create identities that fuel an industry."- Dr. Nicole"We’re not trying to make you your own doctor—we’re trying to help you not need one."- Dr. Nicole

Summary:
Your health and personal development outcomes are deeply influenced by the well-being and mindset of the professionals you choose to guide you. In this episode of Integrative You Radio, we explore Dr. David Hawkins' research on the levels of consciousness and how the emotional state of your doctor, coach, or therapist can directly impact your results. Whether you're seeking better health, professional growth, or personal breakthroughs, understanding the energy and intention behind your service providers is crucial to achieving long-term success.
We also dive into the importance of vetting practitioners beyond just convenience or insurance coverage. The conversation highlights the difference between consulting and true coaching, emphasizing how the right guidance comes from those who challenge your perspective rather than just validate your existing beliefs. Tune in to discover how shifting your own consciousness and being selective about who influences your journey can create powerful transformations in your health, business, and overall life.What you’ll learn:
Your Doctor’s Well Being Affects Your Health – The emotional and mental state of your doctor, therapist, or coach directly influences your outcomes. A provider operating at a higher level of consciousness leads to better results for you.
Be Selective About Who Guides You – Don’t choose a practitioner just because they’re in-network or convenient. Vet them based on their mindset, energy, and ability to challenge your perspective for real growth.
No One is Coming to Save You – Personal responsibility is key. While guidance is valuable, your growth and healing ultimately depend on your willingness to take action and shift your own mindset.
Quotes:
"Your level of consciousness as a service provider—as a coach, as a leader, as a teacher—is going to dictate the outcomes of who you work with."- Dr. Nicole"No one's coming to save you. You gotta save yourself." - Dr. Nicole

Fear isn’t real—it’s a product of your imagination. In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole dives deep into the ways fear holds us back, why it’s rooted in control, and how we can shift our perspective to embrace limitless possibilities. She unpacks the difference between manufactured and surrendered manifestation, explaining how our need to control outcomes often restricts our potential. With real-life examples and actionable insights, this episode will challenge you to rethink fear and step into a space of opportunity, abundance, and trust.
If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by fear or stuck in a cycle of stress and self-doubt, this conversation is for you. Dr. Nicole also shares her personal journey of overcoming a hijacked nervous system, the science behind why our brains focus on fear, and how to break free from limiting beliefs. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that will help you reframe challenges and start making decisions from inspiration, not desperation.
What you’ll learn:
Fear is a Mental Construct – Fear is imagined and often rooted in control. The possibility of your fear coming true is just as likely as it not happening, so shifting your perception is key.
The Power of Perspective – Challenges always come with opportunities. By widening your lens and shifting focus from obstacles to possibilities, you can unlock new paths and outcomes.
Make Decisions from Inspiration, Not Desperation – Fear-based choices often lead to misalignment and struggle. Understanding your values and trusting your intuition allows you to make empowered, fulfilling decisions.
Quotes:
"Your fear is imagined. It is a figment of your imagination."- Dr. Nicole"You are either blocking opportunities, or you are an open vessel to receive them. It all depends on how you choose to show up mentally and emotionally." - Dr. Nicole

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole challenges the current state of functional and integrative medicine, questioning whether it has become a source of stress and anxiety rather than a solution. She discusses how fear-based health narratives, extreme elimination diets, and rigid wellness protocols may actually contribute to mental health struggles rather than improving overall well-being. Through personal experiences and industry insights, she explores the importance of balance, mindset, and emotional resilience in achieving true health.
Dr. Nicole also dives into the cultural contrasts she has observed while living in Italy, where people lead healthier lives with less obsession over "clean living." She highlights the importance of nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and shifting from a fear-based approach to a more aligned, intuitive way of taking care of oneself. Are we unknowingly becoming victims of the wellness industry? Tune in to find out.
What you’ll learn:
Wellness Extremes Can Be Harmful – Over-focusing on eliminating every toxin, food, or environmental factor can lead to anxiety, stress, and a dysregulated nervous system, ultimately harming mental and physical health.
Mindset and Stress Matter More Than Obsession – People in cultures with less stress, like Italy, often live healthier lives without obsessing over every food ingredient or environmental toxin.
True Functional Medicine Isn’t About Fear – Practitioners and influencers pushing extreme health narratives may be creating more stress and fear than actual healing; real health comes from balance, not perfection.
Quotes:
"If you're constantly living in fear of your environment, your food, and your body, you're already setting yourself up for failure—your nervous system is in survival mode." - Dr. Nicole"True health isn't about eliminating everything in your life that could harm you—it's about creating a foundation of resilience, balance, and alignment." - Dr. Nicole

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, we explore the often overlooked role men play in fertility. While fertility discussions usually focus on women, male health factors like hormonal imbalances, infections, and environmental toxins can significantly impact fertility. We also discuss how poor blood flow, age, and lifestyle contribute to male infertility, urging couples to address both partners' health when trying to conceive.
This episode challenges the assumption that fertility issues are primarily female-related and highlights the importance of a holistic approach to conception. Tune in to learn how addressing men's health can improve fertility outcomes and lead to healthier pregnancies and babies.
What you’ll learn:
Male Fertility Matters: Men’s health plays a crucial role in fertility, with factors like hormonal imbalances, infections, and environmental toxins potentially affecting sperm quality and fertility outcomes.
Health Issues Go Undiagnosed: Many men have silent health issues, such as undiagnosed prostate infections or hormonal imbalances, that can impact fertility without showing clear symptoms.
Holistic Approach to Conception: A successful fertility journey involves both partners addressing their health, including lifestyle factors, blood flow, and toxins, to improve natural conception chances and support a healthy pregnancy.
Quotes:
"This isn't a one sided journey, this is, you know, there's two to tango here, so this is a conversation that includes your partner."- Dr. Nicole"There are so many men that are walking around with silent infections in their urinary system, ejaculatory duct, prostate because they're all connected." - Dr. Nicole

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, we dive deep into the growing trend of restrictive diets and their unexpected consequences, particularly when it comes to mental and physical health. From the paleo and autoimmune paleo movements to the recent surge in "ancestral living" diets, the episode explores how these popular trends, though rooted in a desire for better health, often contribute to toxic overload in the liver and body. Dr. Nicole shares personal insights, reflecting on how shifting away from such extremes can lead to better long-term wellness, both physically and mentally. Discover why the key to health may not be in following the latest diet fad, but in returning to simplicity and balance.
As the episode continues, it draws comparisons between the culture of food in the U.S. and Italy, highlighting the stark differences in diet quality, accessibility, and the stress of food-related choices. In Italy, the notion of "ancestral living" isn't just a trend, but a way of life, with food grown locally and prepared simply. The contrast to the U.S. diet, dominated by convenience foods and processed ingredients, is stark and tells a bigger story of how our food systems contribute to the chronic health crises we face today. Tune in to learn practical tips on how to break free from food overwhelm and make conscious choices that support your health and well-being.
What you’ll learn:
Trend Diets Can Cause Mental and Physical Stress: Restrictive diets like paleo and autoimmune paleo may create more health issues than they solve, leading to mental toxicity and confusion about food.
Quality and Simplicity Matter More Than Extremes: In Italy, the focus is on eating locally sourced, simple, and minimally processed foods, which supports long-term health without overthinking every meal.
Convenience Foods Contribute to Chronic Illness: The accessibility of cheap, processed foods in the U.S. contributes to obesity and health problems, making it difficult for people to make healthier food choices.
Quotes:
"At the end of the day, it’s not about subscribing to a specific diet trend; it’s about understanding how to nourish your body with real, whole foods and making conscious choices that support your health."- Dr. Nicole"Food is not food anymore; it's become so chemically manipulated that we’ve lost touch with what truly nourishes our bodies."- Dr. Nicole

Fibroids and Cysts as Protective MechanismsRather than being solely harmful, fibroids and cysts often develop as your body’s way of walling off toxins, infections, or other harmful substances, protecting vital systems from further damage.
Hidden Culprits Behind Reproductive Health IssuesEnvironmental toxins, dietary choices, and undiagnosed gut issues play a significant role in the development of fibroids and cysts, with fat-soluble toxins accumulating in reproductive tissues over time.
Holistic Prevention and SolutionsAddressing these issues requires a personalized approach, including detoxifying the liver, balancing blood sugar, and switching to toxin-free personal care products to support long-term health and prevention..
Quotes:
"Your body is incredibly intelligent—fibroids and cysts aren’t just random; they’re protective mechanisms, walling off toxins and harmful substances to keep you safe. The key is understanding what’s causing them and addressing the root issues."- Dr. Nicole"Fibroids and cysts are not a failure of your body—they’re its way of adapting and protecting you.

In this inspiring episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole dives into the lessons learned from years of entrepreneurial experience. “A business should be a tool to create the life you want, not a cage that keeps you trapped,” she explains. She highlights the importance of creating memories, prioritizing relationships, and being fully present for life’s most meaningful moments.
Dr. Nicole also shares the critical lesson of separating identity from work. “It’s not who you are; it’s what you do,” she emphasizes, urging entrepreneurs to diversify income streams and align their businesses with their values. Don’t miss this heartfelt discussion on curating a life that balances success, freedom, and fulfillment.

In this eye-opening episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole dives into a critical topic that challenges conventional medical norms: the myth that blood work is the "gold standard" for understanding health. Drawing from her 13 years of clinical practice and recent cases, she exposes the flaws and potential errors in lab testing, emphasizing the importance of listening to your body and seeking a more integrative approach. Dr. Nicole shares real-life examples where lab results misled diagnoses, underscoring the need for multiple data points and personalized care.
If you've ever felt frustrated by traditional medical practices or questioned your lab results, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Nicole passionately explains why subjective feedback, imaging, and alternative testing methods are just as vital as bloodwork for getting a true picture of your health. Tune in to learn how to take control of your wellness journey, embrace integrative medicine, and avoid the pitfalls of a system focused solely on pharmaceuticals.
What you’ll learn:
Bloodwork Isn’t Infallible: Lab errors happen frequently due to human and technical mistakes. Relying solely on blood tests can lead to misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments.
Integrative Medicine is Essential: True health requires a combination of subjective feedback, comprehensive testing (e.g., DNA, bioenergetics), and a holistic approach beyond conventional lab results
Be Your Own Advocate: Always trust your intuition, seek second opinions, and explore alternative diagnostic methods to get a complete picture of your health
Quotes:
"Bloodwork is not the gold standard it’s just one piece of the puzzle, and relying on it alone can lead to disastrous consequences." - Dr. Nicole
"Your health isn’t complicated - your body is incredibly resilient with the right information and tools" - Dr. Nicole

DR. NICOLE RIVERA & DR. NICK CARRUTHERS
Almost 10 years ago, our doctors became frustrated with the limitations of conventional testing. It became evident, that blood work was just a snapshot in the moment and often missed chronic conditions. Stool samples didn't always reveal pathogens depending on the quality and the timing of the sample. In addition, the tests did not reveal the biodiversity of each person which resulted in cookie-cutter protocols for so-called similar conditions. Our doctors were craving specificity and decided to explore advanced medical technologies regularly used in European countries. These technologies looked beyond blood while revealing the uniqueness of each person. This transformed the treatment protocols and allowed for faster and more effective healing. Most importantly, the doctors were able to transform their approach to create long-term, sustainable health changes.
Our doctors are evolving how healthcare is being done with their forward-thinking, specificity, and unwavering devotion to integrative medicine and their patients. Their love for what they do is evident in the shifts and transformations that their patients experience.
