NOTE: All Corporate Escape Artists Podcasts are also found on Apple and Spotify!In this episode we talk about the problem with corporate nursing and healthcare. Christa’s journey to the top followed by her exit. What Christa did after she left corporate healthcare. And more…Christa Rymal, RN, MSNRN | Founder | CEO | Co-Owner of The Point Retreats– Retreat Facilitator– Certified Wilderness First Aid– CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor Administrator and Results Analysis)– Heartmath Trainer and Coach– Lifestyle & Functional Medicine Health Educator– Certified EQ-i & EQ-i 360 Test Administrator and Results CoachI have worked in the healthcare industry for over 20 years in emergency medicine, cardiac care, orthopedics, primary care, diabetes education, and endocrinology. I have a Bachelors Degree in Nursing, Masters Degree in Healthcare Leadership, Advanced training from the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Institute of Functional Medicine, and American Academy of Functional Medicine.It was during my time working as a diabetes nurse educator, followed by my role as Director of Diabetes Care and Endocrinology, that I was motivated to be a change agent in the way we treat and manage chronic disease. I was alarmed at the increased prevalence of diabetes and the complex nature and cost of managing the disease. I was inspired by those patients who became partners in their care and with the right support, education, and coaching were empowered to make lifestyle changes that resulted in improved health and happiness. After initiating a “Living Well with Diabetes” series of classes with a local culinary kitchen, where providers, patients, and family members participated in innovative disease management cooking classes, I was determined to bring the science and practice of lifestyle medicine to more people living with a chronic disease or aiming to prevent one. This was the starting point for my change in personal health, passion for lifestyle and functional medicine, and the turning point in my career in healthcare. I realize the important role that nurses serve as they speak the language of medicine, healing, and health.After reaching out to those who have personally or professionally inspired my own journey to improved health, our dynamite “The Point” team of experts was created! Experts in lifestyle and functional medicine, but equally as important, experts in pursuing adventure, sharing laughter, providing support, encouraging greatness, and helping others achieve their personal goals!When I am not spending time at “The Point” you can find me spending time with my family and friends, watching our daughters basketball and soccer games, hiking, camping and canoeing in the Boundary Waters, downhill skiing, spending time on our farm, playing pickleball, yoga, traveling, going to a music concert, cooking, or continuing to study all things related to health, fitness, nutrition, and functional/lifestyle medicine.Biggest life accomplishments – my 3 girls, living in small cabin in Fairbanks Alaska for 6 months, completing a triathlon, finishing the 3 day/60 mile breast cancer walk with 3 wonderful women, completing a 40 mile dogsled adventure in the Boundary Waters with my good friend Jen and 3 of our daughters, and helping my dad write and publish his autobiography.Next adventures and goals: Hiking up an active volcano in Guatemala and roasting a marshmallow over hot lava at the top!Click HERE to learn more about upcoming retreats that Christa is leading.

NOTE: All Corporate Escape Artists Podcasts are also found on Apple and Spotify!Somewhat controversial, I know. Are vegans healthier? I bet some are. I know there is a way to do vegan and in some ways, it seems in alignment with life. Perhaps fruitatarian is the best way. because there is no killing of any growing plant or animal. My experience in the world, and yes, I was vegan for a year and vegetarian for 2 years - 1999-2001, is that vegans are not healthier. So then people tend to stray to the edges. Carnivore being the opposite of vegan. Is this one healthier? I know many doctors would begin arguing yes, it is. Well, extremes are elimination diets at their core. Perhaps living foods with a portion of fish and meat is best. We live on this planet where life stems from life. Plants are meat eaters! Plants live on breakdown products of human and animal flesh from converted mushroom nutrients. So in essence, even the plants are using another converted life form in this matrix. I don’t know the right answer here. I explore this topic in the podcast, but I am by no means settled on right diet. Nor that there is a right diet for everyone that’s the same. Give grace to those who are thoughtful about their choices. Everyone gets to decide how they power their avatar. Life is just a matrix that we’re passing through. Just relax about the diet.

NOTE: All Corporate Escape Artists Podcasts are also found on Apple and Spotify!In this podcast, we have the founder of VivaRays, Roudy Nasif. Hear about his story and learn why we need to watch the sunrise every single morning. Roudy Nassif, Co-Founder of VivaRays learned the hard way that he needed his sleep. He spent most of his life staying up late and waking up feeling low on energy and unmotivated. As a trained civil engineer and about 5 years ago, the anguish of career life was unbearable and he needed to change something. Traveling the world he learned an invaluable lesson about himself and nature and discovered a great passion for health which led him to quantum physics and biology.Since then, he changed his quantum environment, his thoughts and his light diet. DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is solely intended as a self-help tool for your own use.In Roudy’s own words: Many of you are having issues getting a good night's sleep. You are very busy with work, on your computers with virtual meetings, email and other tasks. When you finally do relax, you do so with your devices. All of this artificial light from your environment is negatively affecting your health. The science is now here to prove this.My name is Roudy Nassif, founder of VivaRays. Being diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, I too experiences a lifetime of poor sleep, sluggishness in the mornings with no ability to focus during the day. The results from poor quality sleep gave me a lifetime of struggles and I suffered from depression ... until a miraculous event happened to me.I spent 6 weeks on a vacation where I was only exposed to sunlight, candle and firelight. Within 3 days, I was sleeping quickly and peacefully through the night to then wake up before sunrise feeling refreshed, energized and fully focussed all day. This lasted throughout the 6-week period. When I returned to my home in the city, I quickly fell back into the same spiral of poor sleep at night with a lack of focus, energy and depression during the day.Was it the light environment I experienced during my vacation that changed me so quickly and dramatically? I had to find out and I spent many years researching light's affects on our body, our circadian rhythm and the negative effects of the artificial light environment we live in today.What I learned from the world's leading scientists, doctors and researchers is this field is our environment full of artificial light, our reliance on computers, TV's and devices every day, is negatively affecting our quality of sleep and our overall health and wellbeing.I tried many things to help me manage this artificial light in my environment with all ending in failure. This is why I founded VivaRays, the world's first 3-lens artificial light management solution. We can now finally rest soundly and peacefully at night to then wake up fully refreshed, focussed and energetic all day.If you are struggling with getting a good night's sleep, then you are in the right place. My mission is to educate everyone about the negative effects of the artificial light we all experience in our environment today. Artificial light is inescapable however we can now manage it.Join me in finally regaining your quality sleep. Enjoy every day being refreshed, focussed and full of energy. Start realizing your true potential now. I look forward to walking with you on your journey.Subscribe to this substack for notifications of each episode and for key tips on escaping corporate!Become a paid member for the 2nd hour of each podcast in addition to exclusive videos and to help us keep the lights on!P.S. - Take our exclusive Biohacking 101 course covering all you need to get your physical avatar into the best shape of your life.
