Your eyes are supposed to move as a team… so what happens when they don’t?

This Saturday, April 25 at 3:30 PM — Code Lavender Podcast with Dr. Ashley & Nurse Tanya dives into strabismus with Dr. Preet Johar 👁️

We’re breaking it down in real terms:
• What strabismus actually is (and why it’s more than “crossed eyes”)
• How it affects vision, depth perception, and confidence
• Why early detection matters — in kids and adults
• Treatment options that can truly change someone’s quality of life

Whether you’re in healthcare or just want to understand what you’re seeing — this is one of those conditions that’s simple on the surface… but deeper than people think.

Money talks… but nurses? We’ve been too busy saving lives to learn the language.

This Saturday, April 25 at 3 PM — Code Lavender Podcast with Dr. Ashley & Nurse Tanya is getting real about nurses and money 💸

We’re joined by Kathy Kane — a powerhouse from Wall Street who built her career alongside the old boys’ club and now focuses on helping nurses stop fumbling their finances and start building real wealth.

No fluff. No shame. Just straight insight:
• Why so many nurses struggle with money
• The habits quietly draining your bank account
• How to start thinking like an investor (even if you’ve never tried)
• What nobody taught you about money… but should have

You take care of everyone else. It’s time your money takes care of you.

Nobody tells you this in nursing school…

Half the meds we give?
They’re out here living double lives.

💊 Gabapentin
Started for seizures…
Now? Chronic pain, hot flashes, anxiety—she’s booked and busy.

💊 Trazodone
Marketed for depression…
But let’s be real—everyone’s getting it for sleep.

💊 Beta blockers
Blood pressure and arrhythmias? Sure.
But also migraines and anxiety—especially that “my heart is about to jump out of my chest” feeling.

💊 Amitriptyline
Old-school antidepressant…
Now treating nerve pain, migraines, IBS—basically everything but your attitude.

💊 Clonidine
Hypertension? Yes.
Also opioid withdrawal, anxiety, ADHD—quietly doing the most.

Welcome to off-label use—
where meds said, “I can do more.”

And honestly?
Nurses figure this out before anyone explains it.

Nurses really do run the group chat.

04/15/2026

You learned med math.
But did anyone teach you:

how to budget shift differentials?
how to prepare for caregiving costs?
how to save while paying off loans?
how to plan for a career that may change because of burnout?

Exactly.

This conversation is for every nurse who feels behind, overwhelmed, or financially unprepared.

04/14/2026

Nurses are taught how to care for everyone else.
Not how to manage student loans, burnout, inconsistent income, or long-term wealth.

This month on Code Lavender, we’re joined by Katherine Kanes, CFP®, to talk about the real financial challenges nurses face — and how to start planning smarter.

Because financial peace is part of wellness too.

🌿 BLURBS ON HERBS — PEPPERMINT
The Mid-Shift Reset Herb

“This herb can actually boost mental focus.”

If you’ve ever hit that wall mid-shift — where your brain feels slow, your focus is gone, and you’re just trying to push through… this one’s for you.

This week we’re talking about Peppermint, a simple but powerful herb that can help improve alertness and cognitive performance.

Peppermint works by stimulating the trigeminal nerve, which activates pathways in the brain associated with focus, clarity, and wakefulness. That refreshing sensation you feel? It’s not just in your head — it’s neurological.

✨ Why Peppermint?
• Helps improve focus and alertness
• Supports mental clarity
• Can reduce fatigue and brain fog
• Quick, natural reset without caffeine

🌿 How to use it:
Tea, essential oil inhalation, or capsules — easy and accessible.

💜 Code Lavender Tip:
Keep peppermint on hand during long shifts. A quick inhale or sip can be the reset your brain actually needs.

Save this for your next shift.

👇 What’s your go-to when you hit that mid-shift slump?

Wait… your medication might be doing MORE than you think 👀

Off-label uses = everyday nursing knowledge 💊
Nurses see what textbooks don’t teach.

Okay but let’s talk about this for a second…

Medications don’t just do *one* thing. And nurses? We KNOW that.

That “blood pressure med”? Yeah… we’re using it for anxiety.
That “antidepressant”? Also helping with chronic pain.
That “seizure med”? Surprise — mood stabilizer.

It’s called *off-label use* — and it’s completely legal, evidence-based, and honestly… kind of genius.

Doctors prescribe it.
But nurses? We’re the ones who see how it actually works in real life.

We notice the patterns.
We see what helps patients sleep, cope, calm down, function.

That’s the difference.

Nurses don’t just give meds…
We understand them.

💊 Nurses rock — and this is why.

Save this if you’ve ever said “wait… this med does WHAT?”
Tag a nurse who just *gets it*.

Anxiety doesn’t just live in your thoughts.
It lives in your body.

🌿 BLURBS ON HERBS — TURMERIC
The Inflammation-Fighting Herb

“Inflammation drives everything from pain to depression.”

It’s not just about sore joints — chronic inflammation can impact your brain, mood, energy, and overall health.

This week we’re breaking down Turmeric, a powerful herb used for centuries in medicine and now backed by science.

The active compound in turmeric, curcumin, helps reduce inflammatory cytokines — the molecules that drive inflammation in the body. When inflammation stays elevated, it can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain, and even mood changes.

✨ Why Turmeric?
• Helps reduce inflammation in the body
• Supports joint and muscle recovery
• May improve mood and brain function
• Supports overall cellular health

⚠️ Important:
Turmeric is best absorbed when taken with black pepper (piperine significantly increases absorption).

💜 Code Lavender Tip:
When inflammation goes down, mental clarity goes up. If you’re feeling foggy, drained, or run down — your body may be inflamed, not just tired.

Save this for your next grocery run or supplement restock.

👇 Do you take turmeric — or prefer getting it from food?

🌀 Diverticulitis… more common than you think—and way more painful than people expect.

🎤 Nurse Tanya breaking it down, real talk style.

Those small pouches in your colon? Most people don’t even know they have them… until they become inflamed. And when they do—pain, nausea, and major changes in bowel habits. This isn’t just a stomach ache… it’s your body telling you something is off.

💡 Risk factors: low fiber diet, dehydration, sedentary lifestyle, and aging.

🥗 Prevention isn’t complicated—but it does take consistency:
✔️ Eat more fiber (fruits, veggies, whole grains)
✔️ Drink MORE water than you think you need
✔️ Move your body daily

“If your diet is beige… we need to talk.” 😭

💬 Bottom line: your gut health matters every single day. Ignore it now, and it can turn into something much bigger later.

📌 Save this. Share it. Send it to someone who “forgets” to drink water.

We’re only one day late… don’t write us up 😅

Between the chaos, the charting, the “one more order,” and everything in between…
we may have missed the calendar—but we didn’t miss the moment.

To our physician colleagues—
we see the pressure, the long hours, and the responsibility you carry every single day.

We joke… because that’s how we survive in healthcare.
But the respect is real.

💜 Happy (slightly late) Doctor’s Day
from your favorite nurses at Code Lavender
