You are listening to Look Who's Talking.
0:18
I am Cameron Minter.
0:19
I am your co-host and the fabulous Jessica Coffie.
0:24
I'm fabulous today.
0:25
Our executive.
0:26
No, I'm not there.
0:27
See, I just keep going.
0:30
I should have stopped and fabulous, but oh no.
0:33
I had to go and get another ad.
0:35
Hey, what's going on Jessica?
0:36
Hey y'all.
0:37
How you doing?
0:38
She is our host.
0:39
Welcome, welcome, welcome back.
0:40
You know it's funny when I hear you say she is our host.
0:43
Am I?
0:44
Right, you are the host.
0:45
I feel like I'm a guest to your show.
0:47
I'm just running the board over here.
0:50
If you could run the board, you would be doing it all.
0:52
Oh really?
0:53
Yeah.
0:54
When are you going to teach me the board?
0:55
Oh anytime boo.
0:56
Yeah.
0:57
I want to see you play.
0:58
I want to see you just, yeah.
0:59
Don't play.
1:00
You'll be sitting over here by yourself.
1:03
What's going on Jessica?
1:04
Not much Cam Bam.
1:06
Like you know what we say last show, life be life.
1:11
Life be life.
1:12
Yeah, we're just.
1:13
It ain't even funny.
1:14
I know.
1:15
What's been going on with you?
1:17
Oh, just slow motion.
1:19
Just surviving.
1:20
I'm trying to get, oh I'm so desperately trying to get back into a groove.
1:25
I left my groove in the second week of December and I haven't found it yet.
1:29
You know what?
1:30
It is really hard after the holidays because not only have you been like resting for maybe
1:36
a couple of weeks for the holidays, but then winter weather hit us so hard that we had
1:45
another extra week.
1:47
Well, it wasn't off, but it wasn't in the office.
1:50
I am really just struggling trying to get back to the groove.
1:55
Every time I get there, I'm almost there, something happens.
1:59
No, I'm not almost there.
2:01
I'm far from it.
2:02
I'm far from it too.
2:03
I am far from a groove, but I have to find it quick.
2:07
I mean we got to.
2:09
Work has got to get done.
2:11
Because the day seemed like they last 45 years and it's only eight hours.
2:18
But when you're busy, when you're in your groove, the day goes by quick.
2:23
No, I've been busy and look up and it's 10, then I look up again and it's two, then I
2:28
look up and it's only two 15.
2:31
I'm with you on that.
2:33
It's hard after the holidays, but you know what?
2:37
We've gotten so much snow that I'm ready for spring.
2:42
Come on birds.
2:44
I am ready for my allergies to be messed up.
2:47
Wow, that's saying something.
2:49
That's how much I'm over winter.
2:51
That's saying something.
2:54
So I see you're doing some new styling and profiling.
2:58
Well, it's not new, but-
3:01
It's original, huh?
3:02
I took off my nails.
3:04
Oh no, put the dope.
3:09
Dope?
3:10
Yeah, that's how I feel without my nails right now.
3:12
Really?
3:13
I've been with them for probably 15 years straight and over the break, I broke two.
3:20
I broke two.
3:21
How?
3:22
I don't know.
3:23
That ain't nothing, right?
3:24
You just go and get them repaired, right?
3:25
No.
3:26
So I go to, I don't go to a shop.
3:28
I go to an entrepreneur and she was out of town and it was Christmas break.
3:36
So I was like, oh, okay.
3:39
I was like, you know what?
3:40
You took them off yourself, didn't you?
3:42
Because it was hard to type with two broken nails.
3:45
So I took them off.
3:48
I had them taken off and I was like, oh, I haven't seen my little fat fingers by themselves
3:54
in years.
3:55
So I want my real nails to grow out to be a little bit stronger.
4:01
Yeah, but I think I'm going to get nails in about two weeks.
4:04
Wow.
4:05
Yeah.
4:06
You know, it's funny.
4:10
It's something that you really don't think about until you think about it.
4:14
I mean, if I shaved my mustache, it would be a huge change that I would not like.
4:20
I don't think I would like it either.
4:22
Hold up.
4:25
So like, did you do the no shave November or any of that?
4:28
I don't participate in none of that.
4:30
See, I, you know, I've got a small little bit here.
4:34
I keep telling my barber not to give me the chin strap.
4:37
Yeah.
4:38
Because my hair doesn't grow properly here.
4:41
You know, we get this, right?
4:43
And so then he tries to cut, you know, real close.
4:46
No, leave all of that because that's the only place my hair is going.
4:50
And so, you know, I've gone close and...
4:53
Cam, what would you look like with no facial hair?
4:56
I don't want to know.
4:57
I don't want to know.
4:58
I don't think I do either, but it would be fun to laugh at.
5:03
Yo, so my dad, I don't know what made him do this.
5:10
I don't, and he never has done it again.
5:13
Right.
5:14
But I think he might nicked himself where he had to shave off his mustache.
5:18
That's the only way it's happening.
5:20
I was like, I had no idea you didn't have an upper lip.
5:24
Right.
5:25
Where'd it go?
5:26
So he made sure he never made that mistake again.
5:30
I was like, Dad, this is not the look for you.
5:34
I mean, you know, but just as you were saying, 15 years of nails and then the change, although
5:41
the change is natural and normal, you don't like it.
5:45
Right, right.
5:48
My fingernails are an expense that I will go for.
5:53
Like, you know, for years I didn't have internet.
5:56
No, I didn't know that.
5:59
Like, not too long ago, like I was like, I'm not going to get into all of this.
6:07
And then I like went Instagram came, I said, Oh, I need internet.
6:12
But like I use my phone mostly.
6:16
But now with the smart TVs and things like that, I'm like, Oh yeah, I need internet now.
6:22
But like there's things you can go without.
6:25
You just don't realize.
6:26
Yeah.
6:27
But the older, the more advanced in technology, the older I find myself because I remember
6:34
when we didn't have it.
6:36
Oh, absolutely.
6:37
I remember calling information instead of Google.
6:40
You know what I'm saying?
6:42
But you know what?
6:43
This is one thing because I've I've tried to take a little social media break.
6:50
How did we find out when things were happening?
6:53
We didn't.
6:54
We found out a week later or whatever, whenever we found out, because nothing was that pressing.
7:01
But no, we used to go places and do like live music and things like that.
7:08
Like I don't know, like how am I off social media going to stay up to what's happening?
7:14
See, I grew up when you contacted people at home, like after six and before that they
7:25
were not available.
7:27
Period.
7:28
All day.
7:29
You're not getting you're not getting in touch with.
7:31
Yeah.
7:32
And so this world will go absolute bonkers if we can't contact each other immediately.
7:39
Immediately.
7:40
Yeah.
7:41
You know what?
7:42
I remember one day I don't even know when I forgot my phone.
7:48
That's a time back around.
7:51
You know what?
7:52
And I realized I forgot my phone when I was driving.
7:54
Why?
7:55
Because my music didn't connect.
7:56
But I said, you know what?
7:59
I am not turning back around.
8:01
So I'm going to be without my phone like all day.
8:06
So I was without my phone.
8:09
I got so much more accomplished, but then I said, what if I have a medical emergency
8:15
in the car?
8:16
What's going to happen?
8:17
Who can I call?
8:18
Can't call nobody.
8:19
That's a hypochondriac.
8:20
Yeah, that's what that is.
8:21
All right.
8:22
Enough of that.
8:23
It's time for a Coffie Break.
8:30
Okay.
8:33
So for today's Coffie Break, I want to say, better to admit you walk through the wrong
8:43
door than to spend your life in the wrong room.
8:46
What you got to say about that?
8:48
That's powerful because, you know, we make dumb decisions as we're younger.
8:56
Yeah.
8:57
And older.
8:58
But you should be making more advanced decisions as you're older because you've been through
9:04
some things.
9:05
You've learned some things.
9:06
But when you walk through that door and you decide, I don't care if I'm in the wrong
9:11
room.
9:12
I'm staying here.
9:13
That's crazy.
9:14
That's stunning your growth.
9:16
That's stunning your purpose in life.
9:19
You know what I'm saying?
9:20
Yeah.
9:21
Yeah.
9:22
You may have walked into a railroad station and became a real, but what if you're meant
9:27
to be president?
9:28
You know what I'm saying?
9:29
Get out of the room.
9:32
And don't let the room confine you.
9:33
Yeah.
9:34
Yeah.
9:35
You know what?
9:36
I've done that at conferences.
9:37
I went to the wrong room.
9:39
Oh, talk about it.
9:40
And it's like, oh, do I continue to sit here and pretend if I know what's going on and
9:48
I'm supposed to be here?
9:50
Or do I get up and feel like-
9:54
Everyone's looking at me.
9:55
Everyone's looking at me, go out the room, but I would rather get up and go out because
10:00
the information that I'm trying to absorb wasn't the information that I was supposed
10:04
to have anyway.
10:05
And it's wasting your time.
10:07
Yeah.
10:08
That's the whole point.
10:09
Going into the wrong room and not admitting it, it's wasting your time.
10:14
Right.
10:15
But you know what?
10:16
You always have the ability to get up and go where you're supposed to go.
10:20
That's right.
10:21
And that happens with life too.
10:23
We all make-
10:24
Yeah.
10:25
We all make wrong turns, wrong decisions, but we have the opportunity to-
10:29
Just don't stay there.
10:30
That part.
10:31
Don't stay there.
10:32
Yeah.
10:33
I think that's good.
10:34
That's a good one.
10:35
Okay.
10:36
What is going on today?
10:38
What are we talking about?
10:39
Today, I forgot to wear my red and you did too.
10:42
Yeah.
10:43
However, we have Ms. Rose Hampton with us who is our nurse practitioner.
10:49
You know what?
10:50
We have her on the show, have heard so much about our nurse practitioner and now we have
10:54
her on the show.
10:55
Now we have her on the show.
10:56
Yes.
10:57
And we will be talking about Heart Health Month.
11:00
Welcome, Rose.
11:01
You know, February is Heart Health Month.
11:03
Welcome.
11:04
Glad to be here.
11:05
Thanks for having me.
11:06
Yeah.
11:07
Very good.
11:08
Very good.
11:09
So we want to get a little into your background.
11:15
You know, I want the viewers because literally I feel like every, almost every other show
11:20
we mentioned, we have a nurse practitioner.
11:23
So we're always talking about you, Rose.
11:26
So give the viewers a little bit about your background.
11:31
Yeah.
11:33
Just tell us a little bit about yourself.
11:35
Well, I currently live in London, Kentucky.
11:39
I have two sons.
11:42
And I've been in the nursing, I've been a nurse for over 22 years.
11:47
My last five years, I've been a nurse practitioner and I've worked with all ages, geriatrics,
11:57
pediatrics, and I love what I do.
12:02
Yay.
12:03
So how did you go from, I guess you were a registered nurse before.
12:09
What made you go to wanting to be a nurse practitioner?
12:13
I wanted to do more.
12:14
I felt like I was capable of doing more and I wanted more.
12:18
Yeah.
12:19
So can you tell the viewers, like what is the difference between a registered nurse
12:24
and a nurse practitioner?
12:26
The difference there is the school.
12:30
You're more educated and you can diagnose and treat patients.
12:34
As a registered nurse, you cannot do that.
12:37
You just take care of patients.
12:38
So you're able to write prescriptions and things like that?
12:42
Yes.
12:43
Okay.
12:44
I'll probably need a...
12:45
Yeah, that's good.
12:46
I didn't know that.
12:47
No.
12:48
So we want to talk about Heart Health Month.
12:54
If you could, let's talk about the heart.
12:59
What are some of...
13:02
Let's talk about a heart attack because whenever we hear about Heart Health Month, we think
13:06
of heart attacks.
13:07
What are some important things we need to know about heart attacks?
13:13
So first of all, what is a heart attack?
13:15
Right?
13:16
So a heart attack, why does it happen?
13:18
It happens because blood flow to your heart is either reduced or blocked.
13:23
And that's usually from fat, cholesterol buildup in your arteries, coronary arteries specifically.
13:31
So artery disease is the main cause of that.
13:35
And a lot of times we can do things to prevent that from happening.
13:42
Like one would be what we eat.
13:45
Yes, absolutely.
13:47
So eating healthy, eating a healthy diet, physical activity, staying physically active.
13:53
I suggest you have at least 150 hours a week to be physical.
14:00
And then we can also, no smoking, stress.
14:06
Oh, talk about that.
14:09
How you get rid of that?
14:11
Sign me up for getting rid of stress.
14:14
But you know what, that's interesting because a lot of people think it's all about what
14:21
I eat and me not being active.
14:23
No, stress.
14:24
Stress can play a major role in your overall health.
14:28
So you want to be as less stressed as possible and do things to help you decrease stress.
14:34
And we all know how to do that.
14:36
Exercise is a big thing.
14:37
Doing things that make you happy, doing hobbies that make you happy, spending time with your
14:42
family, all those things that make you happy.
14:46
It's a big one.
14:48
Sounds good.
14:49
So, you know, my first, I guess, experience with heart attack or heart disease or whatever.
15:01
So when I was about 11, my mom's mom, my mom and mom, she had a heart attack.
15:07
She was very petite, very small.
15:09
I don't even know if she was over 100 pounds and she she ended up dying.
15:14
And I automatically thought like, oh, this would happen to someone who is unhealthy,
15:22
someone who is bigger.
15:24
But that wasn't the case.
15:25
And then that's how I ended up getting into nutrition, because I wanted to learn like,
15:32
what is this disease?
15:34
What?
15:35
And knowing that like food can help us was like, you know, important to me for me to
15:42
learn.
15:43
What can you do to prevent it?
15:44
Absolutely.
15:45
What's my risk factor?
15:47
What can I do to stay heart healthy?
15:51
What's some things you would think of?
15:52
Yeah, yeah.
15:53
I think coming back from the break, if we could talk about what are risk factors and
15:59
what are some signs of a heart attack?
16:03
You are listening to Look Who's Talking.
16:06
We'll be right back.
16:16

17:41
You are listening to Look Who's Talking.
17:44
We are here with Ms. Rose Hampton, who is our nurse practitioner.
17:49
So before the break, we were talking about, you know, heart attacks and things like that.
17:54
So I want to get into what are some risk factors that folks can look out for?
18:00
So the things that you can do to help prevent and help with your overall heart health is
18:07
not smoke, physical activity every day.
18:12
What's what you eat?
18:13
Eat as healthy as you can.
18:16
Exercise.
18:17
Sorry, I lost my train of thought.
18:21
So how important is genetics?
18:23
Like if someone in your family had either a heart attack or heart disease, how what's
18:31
the probability of, you know, other family members going through that?
18:35
You want to make sure that you are monitoring your blood pressure and that you're keeping
18:40
note of that regular normal blood pressure 120 over 80.
18:43
So any abnormalities outside of that, you want to make sure you notify your provider.
18:48
Keep good check on that.
18:49
Keep good check on your cholesterol, triglycerides, of course age plays a factor in your overall
18:55
health as well.
18:57
So if you were having a heart attack, is it different signs for different people?
19:03
Of course, I'm sure, you know, different people respond different ways.
19:06
But what are some signs of a heart attack that we could look out for?
19:10
We all kind of know what chest pain, discomfort in the chest, pain in your upper back, pain
19:16
in one or both arms, your jaw.
19:20
Dizziness could be also an aspect of that nausea, vomiting, weakness.
19:25
Now why would pain in your back?
19:28
Women more so with that.
19:30
Women have more subtle signs than men as far as a heart attack.
19:33
They have a lot more nausea, vomiting, more discomfort in the chest and upper back.
19:42
And a lot of times they have a lot of weakness as well.
19:45
You just feel overall just really weak.
19:47
Wow, those are some.
19:48
Kind of you know something's wrong, but you don't know what it is.
19:51
Right.
19:52
Yeah, one of the shows we were talking about, you know, you know your body better than anybody.
19:56
You know when something's not right.
19:59
Absolutely.
20:00
And I've seen in and seen a medical professional to, you know, let them know, hey, I know I
20:08
look great.
20:09
I know, you know, everything looks right.
20:11
But I just don't feel right.
20:13
And if some of the signs of a heart attack are weakness, vomiting, and nausea, then I
20:20
mean we really need to be taking.
20:22
You know, sometimes people don't have any signs or symptoms.
20:26
So that's all also something that can happen.
20:31
And people don't realize that there's a lot of people that don't have any signs or symptoms
20:35
of a heart attack until they have a heart attack.
20:39
So when you're having a heart attack, what should you do?
20:46
Call 911.
20:47
Obviously, you think you or anyone around you is having a heart attack, you want to
20:51
call 911 and get emergency help as soon as you can.
20:54
So this is not something like, oh, just have a seat, turn the fan on.
20:58
We'll see how things turn out because time matters, doesn't it?
21:04
Time matters.
21:05
And if a heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest and cardiac arrest is when the heart
21:10
completely stops beating.
21:14
So that's very important.
21:16
If you feel like you're having some of these symptoms, you know, the minutes matter.
21:22
So let's try to mitigate that as soon as possible.
21:26
Yeah.
21:27
So can we get into do children have heart problems and what are some of the things?
21:34
How does this Heart Health Month or Healthy Heart relate to children?
21:40
We want to make sure everybody is heart healthy, right?
21:43
Even as a child.
21:44
So you want to make sure they're physically active and that they're eating well, getting
21:49
fruits and vegetables, proteins, all the good things, right?
21:53
And decrease the added sugars in the diet and things that are unnecessary processed
21:59
foods.
22:00
It's not good for us to ingest, right?
22:03
You know that from your background.
22:05
Right.
22:06
Yes.
22:07
Yes.
22:08
So is there a...
22:10
I want to say when it comes to like clogged arteries, how long does that process take?
22:18
Is it something that can happen quickly or?
22:22
When something happens, it happens, you know, throughout.
22:26
Gradually, yeah.
22:27
Yeah.
22:28
And the longer you go without treatment is the worst that it becomes.
22:34
So the longer that you go without treatment or monitoring by provider, the greater risk
22:40
that your heart attack will turn into a cardiac arrest, obviously.
22:45
Got you.
22:46
So we talked about some of the things that we can do on our own.
22:51
What are some things that we can do that are outside of us?
22:53
And I'm thinking maybe a primary physician will be able to monitor...
22:57
Make sure you get your lab work, monitoring your cholesterol levels, your triglycerides.
23:03
Make sure you're talking about am I at risk for diabetes?
23:07
Diabetes is a big thing with heart disease.
23:09
So you want to make sure you're not diabetic as well.
23:13
And our primary physicians will, because triglycerides and all that, that's not in my daily conversation,
23:20
but the primary physician can definitely keep up with that information.
23:25
And like I mentioned before, you know, high blood pressure is a big factor.
23:28
So you want to make sure that you're checking your blood pressure regular and that anything
23:32
out of the norm that you let your provider know.
23:35
And for our viewers, what is like a high number for high blood pressure?
23:42
Well, a normal blood pressure is 120 over 80.
23:46
So anything out of that range, you want to make sure you're writing it down, taking it
23:50
to your provider's office.
23:53
That goes along with age and aspects there.
23:57
But 140 is a high number, obviously.
24:01
97, just throwing something out there.
24:04
But you just want to make sure that you monitor anything out of the norm that you let your
24:07
provider know.
24:08
So what if it's lower?
24:11
What are we looking at there?
24:13
A low blood pressure?
24:14
Yes.
24:15
I mean, there could be aspects there too, but it's not going to affect as far as a heart
24:19
attack.
24:20
You're not going to have a low blood pressure.
24:21
It's not going to affect you in that aspect.
24:24
Okay.
24:25
Yeah.
24:26
Yeah.
24:27
Those numbers, you know, the only time those numbers mean anything to me is when I'm sitting
24:29
in the ER and that machine is going and I'm looking at those numbers, although I don't
24:34
know what I'm looking for.
24:35
You know, they give me my blood pressure every time it goes to the side and I'd be like,
24:39
mm hmm, I don't know.
24:40
Is that good or bad?
24:41
You don't want a low, low blood pressure because that doesn't mean good things, right?
24:47
Are you alive?
24:48
That is what I think.
24:49
Are you alive?
24:50
We want to be living.
24:51
Right.
24:52
Right.
24:53
Right.
24:54
So yeah.
24:55
Yeah.
24:56
Those in the top number and the bottom number, I don't know if we want to go that deep because
25:02
I will forget the moment you tell me.
25:04
So yeah, it's just 120 over 80.
25:06
Over 80 normal and write it down.
25:08
Take it with you to your doctor's office for your annual or if you have anything outside
25:15
of the norm, if you're having headaches, you're not feeling well.
25:18
It's a good idea to make an appointment with your provider, obviously.
25:24
That's awesome.
25:25
That's awesome.
25:26
So what?
25:27
And okay, let's talk about you now.
25:29
What do you do here at the council?
25:31
How are you showing, you know, and okay, selfishly for me.
25:38
What brought you to the council?
25:39
You know, you you've been a medical profession for how long?
25:43
I've been a nurse in over 22 years.
25:46
I've been a nurse practitioner for five years.
25:49
So this has got to be a little different.
25:50
So what brought you here?
25:52
I love kids.
25:53
Oh, I love pediatrics.
25:55
Oh, great people here.
25:58
It's a great job.
25:59
I'm very blessed.
26:00
I'm very thankful to be here.
26:03
Good, good, good.
26:05
That's awesome.
26:06
What do what do you do for our kiddos?
26:09
I do well, child exams and I do lead testing, hemoglobin testing.
26:17
I just make sure they're overall they're healthy.
26:20
And that's our goal here is to make sure they're healthy, they're well taken care of.
26:25
And when you observe something, what what is your protocol?
26:30
What's what happens?
26:31
So that our parents know or potential clients know that when you bring your child to us,
26:39
there is some some firewalls that are set up to help protect your children.
26:43
If I find any abnormalities, I'm going to speak with the parents first always and then
26:49
go from there as far as their provider, who I need to speak to, depending on the situation.
26:55
And one more thing.
26:57
These things are really brought out and through well, I'm assuming so I'm going to let you
27:01
answer.
27:02
How are these things brought to your attention?
27:05
Are there some assessments that we do or what we'll do in their well child exam, I examine
27:11
and things that I find out of the norm.
27:13
I'll let the parents know.
27:15
Sometimes the staff will let me know and then we'll evaluate and go from there.
27:20
That's great.
27:21
That's great.
27:22
Well, we really appreciate you being on the show.
27:24
It has been very informative.
27:28
And I know that our parents rest easy knowing that we've got somebody who's looking out
27:33
for them and their children.
27:37
It's heart month, right?
27:39
Yeah.
27:40
So that's a right.
27:42
Yeah.
27:43
Yeah.
27:44
Heart awareness.
