What if your body has been trying to tell you something important, but you've been missing the clues? Fatigue, pain, digestive issues, changes in energy, and other symptoms can leave us searching for answers. But how do we know which signals deserve attention, and what questions should we be asking? On The Heart of Innovation, Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips welcome nurse practitioner, patient advocate, and newly published author Deidre Arms, NP, whose book, "Your Body Is Trying to Save You," reached #1 on Amazon's Hot New Releases list in Doctor-Patient Relations within just 24 hours! Deidre believes patients can become more empowered participants in their healthcare by learning to recognize patterns, ask better questions, and work with their clinicians to connect the dots. Together, we'll explore:

• What your body may be trying to communicate through symptoms
• Why understanding patterns can be important when searching for answers
• How to become a more informed and empowered patient
• What inspired Deidre to write "Your Body Is Trying to Save You"
• Practical ways to listen, learn, and take action
