Boats, Babies, and What Led Me to Functional Medicine

We spent our first 4th of July with a 5-month-old—and what was supposed to be an hour on Landon’s boat turned into an all-day adventure with friends, babies, sunburns... and not enough snacks. 😅 I nursed almost the whole time to keep our baby hydrated (thank you, Texas heat), but I didn’t pack nearly enough food for myself—and definitely paid the price by the end of the day.

This week, we’re talking about what functional medicine actually is—how it differs from conventional medicine, and how I ended up leaving retail pharmacy to pursue this root-cause approach. After seeing so many patients on multiple prescriptions who still weren’t feeling better—and counseling women who were doing everything “right” and still not losing weight—I knew there had to be more to the story.

We chat about hormone health, gut health, detox pathways, and why just treating symptoms doesn’t always get results. We also bust a few common myths (no, functional medicine isn’t just vibes—it’s science-based when done right!) and answer some listener questions. And of course… Landon brings the dad joke of the day to close things out.
