Dont miss this episode of The Holistic Nurse!

Today’s topic is one that many people associate only with extreme cold or outdoor exposure, but in reality, it affects older adults, people with chronic illness, individuals with metabolic or neurological conditions, and even those living in climate-controlled homes.

Today we’re talking about:

Hypothermia: What You Need to Know

We’ll cover:

• What hypothermia actually is

• Early and advanced symptoms

• Chronic illnesses that increase risk

• And most importantly, when hypothermia becomes a medical emergency

My goal is that by the end of this episode, you’ll feel informed, empowered, and better able to recognize warning signs—either in yourself or someone you love.

Join us for this new episode!

Getting to the Root Cause of the Problem with Dr. Gloria Warren

WHAT A DIAGNOSIS DOES—AND DOESN’T—DO

A diagnosis is not wrong.

It is necessary.

It provides:

• A framework

• A treatment pathway

• A shared clinical language

But a diagnosis is also a snapshot, not a story.

It names a cluster of symptoms.

It does not explain:

• How the body arrived there

• What systems are dysregulated

• What stressors accumulated over time

• What the body has adapted to

As nurses, we’ve seen patients who:

• Follow every recommendation

• Take every medication

• Attend every appointment

And still say,

“I’m doing everything right… why don’t I feel better?”

That’s where holistic nursing asks a different question.

Not What do you have?

But What happened before this began?

Are you listening to your body, or just silencing it?

What are Your Body’s Emergency Signals: Before Crisis Hits?

Hello and welcome to Medical Intuitive Insights. I am your host, Dr. Gloria C. Warren. The body does not suddenly fail; it signals first.

What are the Emergency Signals from your body? Why do we ignore them? And what are the common signals? Most importantly, we will then discuss how to respond to them.

THIS IS THE SHOW where we take the medical ADD THE intuitive PROVIDE THE preventive perspective

Here joining us today is our guest Nurse Peggy Smith from her show, The Holistic Nurse with Peggy Smith. Hello Peggy, and welcome to our show.

“The body is always communicating. Crisis happens when communication is ignored long enough.”

Segment 1: What Are ‘Emergency Signals’?

Explain that emergency signals are early warning signs the body sends before disease, diagnosis, or breakdown.

Persistent fatigue; Anxiety without an obvious cause; Digestive disruption; Sleep disturbances; Brain fog; Unexplained pain or inflammation

Medical lens:

Nervous system dysregulation; Inflammatory signaling; Hormonal imbalance

1. Nervous System Dysregulation

(Autonomic imbalance: sympathetic overdrive / parasympathetic suppression)

Common Symptoms

Anxiety or panic attacks

Heart palpitations

Difficulty relaxing even when “nothing is wrong.”

Everyday Examples

Feeling constantly “on edge” or hyper-alert

Crashing emotionally or physically after stress

Needing constant stimulation (coffee, screens) to function

Feeling exhausted but unable to rest

“This is not a weakness, it’s a nervous system stuck in survival mode.”

2. Inflammatory Signaling

(Chronic, low-grade inflammation is often invisible on routine labs)

Common Symptoms

Joint or muscle pain

Headaches or migraines

Brain fog

Chronic fatigue

Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, rashes)

Digestive inflammation

Heightened pain sensitivity

Everyday Examples

“I wake up stiff for no reason.” Pain that moves around the body; Feeling flu-like without being sick; or Symptoms worsen during emotional stress

“Inflammation is the body’s alarm system; it rises when the body feels threatened, overwhelmed, or unsafe.”

(Cortisol, insulin, thyroid, sex hormones, melatonin)

Common Symptoms

Weight changes despite no lifestyle changes

Fatigue that doesn’t improve with sleep
