Healthcare Storytelling That Transforms Patient Outcomes
When Storytelling Becomes Life-Saving:
"Those Videos Saved My Life"
That was our lightbulb moment.
Five words from a teenage cancer patient that changed everything about how we understood the power of communication in healthcare.
Nearly 20 years ago, we produced an animated series for teens navigating cancer treatment. We were proud of the work, but we didn't fully grasp its transformative power until we heard that girl's story.
When she was first diagnosed, she was terrified. She thought she was going to die. Then she watched our videos. She saw kids like her facing cancer, going through chemo, and not just surviving, but thriving. That gave her hope. And hope, as it turns out, can be the difference between life and death.
That moment revealed a fundamental truth:
Healthcare communication doesn't just inform. It transformas, and when done right, it empowers, heals, and saves lives.

Founded by Emmy Award-winning storyteller Tim Jones and Emmy Award-winning animator Al Rosson in partnership with tech-savvy pediatrician Dr. Gregg Alexander, Health Nuts Media exists to solve a problem most healthcare organizations don't even realize they have: the Clinical Communication Gap.
Healthcare professionals spend years mastering clinical skills such as diagnosis, treatment, and patient safety, but receive little to no training in communication design, behavioral psychology, or storytelling methodology.
The result? Medically perfect information delivered in ways that overwhelm, confuse, or exclude the very patients it's meant to help. We bridge that gap.
Our Seriously Fun™️ Philosophy
We've proven that serious healthcare content doesn't have to be boring to be effective, it works better when it's Seriously Fun™.
When clinical information is delivered through engaging, psychologically-intelligent storytelling, patients don't just understand better, they take action. They're less scared, more compliant, and better equipped to manage their health with confidence.
Over 15+ years, we've created 550+ animated videos that have helped reduce surgical no-shows, cut re-education calls, and raise health literacy across age, language, and literacy barriers.
Our partnerships span the healthcare ecosystem:
The results speak for themselves:
When patients understand what's happening to them, they're less anxious, more engaged in their care, and achieve better outcomes. Their families miss fewer workdays. Healthcare teams spend less time re-explaining procedures. And hospitals develop the kind of distinctive patient experience that builds community loyalty.
