You don’t need a medical degree—or a perfect pantry—to be a holistic mom.

In this episode of Functional Medicine for Moms, I sit down with Malerie from Momming with Mal for a relaxed, coffee-style conversation about holistic living, faith, and real-life motherhood. We talk honestly about how we’ve made healthier choices for our families over time—without pressure, guilt, or perfection.

One thing I love about this episode is how practical it is. We share the actual products and brands we use and love, from food swaps and ingredient label tips to mushroom coffee as a gentler caffeine option. This isn’t about doing everything “right”—it’s about making small, doable changes you can try right away if you want.

We also talk about navigating toddlerhood with grace, building a faith foundation without pressure, and why community matters so much in motherhood.

If you’ve been curious about holistic or low-tox living but felt overwhelmed by where to start, this episode will remind you that small steps matter—and that real moms are figuring this out too.
