In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Dr. Tony Rhodes sits down with Hallie Baker, Family Nurse Practitioner, to unpack what’s really happening in modern healthcare — and why the future belongs to providers who treat the whole person, not just their symptoms.

Hallie shares her journey from kinesiology at Oregon State to Johns Hopkins and Vanderbilt, and breaks down what most people don’t understand about the NP role, their training, and how their scope of practice works in Oregon.

From there, the two dive into:

• The missing pieces in traditional medical education

• Why functional medicine and lifestyle-based care are becoming essential

• The hidden drivers of chronic fatigue, inflammation, gut issues & hormone imbalance

• How the gut-brain axis impacts mental health, immunity, and chronic disease

• The rise of environmental toxins, food quality issues, and stress overload

• Where chiropractic care and functional medicine powerfully intersect

• What women need to know about hormones, cycles, and modern health challenges

• How providers can work together to create truly personalized, root-cause care

Hallie brings a refreshing, humble, faith-centered perspective on wellness, whole-person medicine, and helping people reclaim their health so they can fully live out their God-given calling.
