In this episode, Kelly and Landon recap Danielle’s first birthday, share what life feels like now that she’s officially a toddler, and talk openly about starting to wean breastfeeding after 12 months.

They also dive into building a better pantry — how to read ingredient labels, which foods to prioritize swapping first, and how to make healthier choices without aiming for perfection.

If you’re a mom navigating toddlerhood, hormones, and feeding your family well in real life, this episode is for you.

In this special episode, I’m stepping into the guest seat instead of hosting.

I’m joining Built for This with Brian Briscoe — a podcast I had the honor of being featured on — to share my journey into pharmacy, my transition into functional medicine, and how motherhood ultimately shaped the work I do today.

Brian is actually a former patient of mine, which makes this conversation especially meaningful. We talk about what led me away from conventional pharmacy, why I became so passionate about root-cause healing, how Functional Medicine for Moms came to life, and why this season of my life and career feels exactly like what I was built for.

This episode is for anyone who has felt called to something more — in their health, career, or purpose — but needed the courage to take the leap.

This week, Landon and I are reflecting on our Christmas in Minnesota and what it’s been like creating new holiday traditions with our baby — especially ones that feel more aligned with our values.

We talk about planning our baby’s first birthday (how is that coming so fast?!) including decisions around cake, added sugar, and navigating expectations around a 1-year-old party. Landon also shares a powerful reminder about having an attitude of gratitude, especially in parenthood when the work can feel exhausting and thankless. We challenge you to reach out to someone today and let them know you’re grateful for them.

We end the episode sharing some exciting news — our podcast was selected #3 on Feedspot’s Top 15 Best Crunchy Mom Podcasts of 2025, and we are so thankful for our listeners who continue to share and support the show.
