Functional Medicine for Moms | Fertility, Pregnancy & Holistic Motherhood

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.

New Year’s resolutions don’t fail because moms lack motivation — they fail because exhausted, overwhelmed moms are trying to do too much without the right support.

In this episode of Functional Medicine for Moms, host Kelly Moline, PharmD, is joined by holistic health coach Kim Garrett to share a more sustainable approach to New Year’s resolutions for moms. Together, they break down 5 smarter New Year resets designed to support hormones, energy, and mental health — without adding overwhelm.

This episode explores why nervous system regulation, blood sugar balance, and supportive habits are essential before making big changes. You’ll also learn why pushing through fatigue leads to burnout and how small, supported changes can create lasting results.

✨ If you’re entering the New Year tired, wired, or discouraged — this episode will help you reset with clarity and grace.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why New Year’s resolutions don’t work for moms
• Nervous system regulation & hormone balance
• Blood sugar support for better energy
• Why pushing through fatigue backfires
• Simplifying habits for sustainability
• Functional medicine + health coaching collaboration
• Our Exhausted → Energized 8-Week Hormone Reset (starts Jan 5)

In this episode, I’m sharing how to build a simple, foundational supplement stack to support your health as a mom and a dad — without overwhelm and without medical advice.

After recently moving through sickness in our home, my husband and I talk about:

• How to think about supplements instead of copying someone else’s routine
• The key categories that make up a foundational supplement stack for women and men
• What we focus on for day-to-day maintenance
• What we add short-term for immune support when sickness hits (and what we stop)
• How we personally apply this framework to our own health

This episode is meant to help you feel more confident and less overwhelmed when it comes to supplements — whether you’re postpartum, parenting young kids, or simply trying to support your health in a busy season.

I also share how to book a free educational supplement consult if you want help thinking through your own supplement routine.

🎄 Merry Christmas and happy holidays — and I’ll see you next week for attainable New Year health resets with our health coach.

What if healing your body isn’t about doing more — but about removing what’s standing in the way?

In this episode of Functional Medicine for Moms, Kelly sits down with Dr. Jordan, a holistic chiropractor and fellow mom, to explore how true healing goes far beyond back pain or symptom management. Together, they unpack how the body is designed to heal itself when physical, emotional, and chemical stressors are addressed at the root.

Dr. Jordan explains the philosophy behind holistic chiropractic care, including the triad of health — structural alignment, emotional wellbeing, and chemical/nutritional balance — and how ignoring one area can keep moms stuck in exhaustion, anxiety, or chronic symptoms. The conversation dives into how emotions are stored in the body, what happens when we suppress feelings like guilt or fear, and how techniques like Neuro-Emotional work can support nervous system regulation and long-term healing.

You’ll also hear about the powerful connection between mothers and their children, and why supporting a mom’s healing journey can create ripple effects throughout the entire family — emotionally, physically, and energetically.

This episode is for moms who:

• Feel like they’re doing “all the right things” but still don’t feel well
• Want a deeper understanding of emotional healing and the nervous system
• Are navigating identity shifts, purpose, and personal growth in motherhood
• Believe healing is a journey of self-discovery, not just symptom relief

Whether you’re early postpartum or deep into your motherhood journey, this conversation will leave you feeling grounded, validated, and empowered to trust your body’s innate wisdom.

We’re sharing something we wish we had heard before entering the holiday season as new parents: our five non-negotiable boundaries — and also the five things we’re intentionally staying flexible with.

As first-time parents with a 10-month-old, plus holiday travel, multiple family gatherings, and lots of different expectations in the mix, we knew we needed a plan that protected peace — not perfection.

We talk about:

• Protecting baby regulation without feeling guilty

• Navigating sugar, food culture, and well-meaning family offers

• Managing travel sleep, overstimulation, and new environments

• Keeping our marriage rhythms strong and resentment-free

• Staying rooted in faith and connection (not hustle or pressure)

• When to hold firm…and when to breathe and let things be

Whether you’re a new parent navigating family gatherings, someone trying to live a more intentional lifestyle, or a mom needing permission to set boundaries and give grace — this episode is your reminder that the holidays don’t have to feel chaotic.

Navigating the postpartum season can feel like a whirlwind — the hormones, the emotions, the expectations, the lack of sleep… it’s a lot. In today’s episode, Dr. Kelly Moline sits down with Dr. Abigail Powell, PhD, LP — a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in perinatal and postpartum mental health — for a real, grounded conversation every new mom (and partner) needs to hear.

We talk about what’s normal, what’s not, and why you don’t have to “power through” this season alone. Dr. Powell brings both her clinical background and her honest experience as a mom to break down what’s actually happening with your brain and body postpartum.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The emotional rollercoaster of postpartum hormones
• Why so many moms feel lonely — even when they’re surrounded by people
• How to build your village when you don’t have family nearby
• What real partner support looks like (and how small things make a huge difference)
• The connection between nutrition, blood sugar, and emotional stability
• When to seek extra help — and how to know if it’s more than “baby blues”
• How relationships with your spouse may change, but you are building something new, not returning back

Whether you're currently in the thick of the postpartum season or supporting someone who is, this conversation is full of understanding, compassion, and simple tools that help you feel more seen, supported, and connected.

It’s our Thanksgiving episode, and we showed up in full festive chaos. I'm in a Friends sweatshirt and Landon… is in a chicken costume because he didn’t have a turkey costume. 😂

In this episode, we:

• Share what happened when our baby Danielle was attacked by fire ants (so sad 😫)
• Walk through the natural remedies and steps we took to help her heal
• Break down what a functional medicine pharmacist actually does and what that looks like inside my own practice
• Talk about navigating parenthood, natural living, and faith while running a functional medicine business

I'm also sharing a big announcement: We’re officially launching Exhausted to Energized, an 8-week 1:1 hormone reset program designed for women who are feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, hormonally “off,” or just not like themselves.

This individualized program includes:

• A DUTCH Complete hormone lab test
• A detailed interpretation of your hormone pathways
• A custom personalized supplement protocol
• Weekly 1:1 foundational health coaching to help you create sustainable lifestyle and nutrition changes

We’re keeping this intentionally small and deeply personalized — only 5 individual spots are available for this round.

Vaccines are one of the biggest decisions parents face — and for many moms, the information feels overwhelming, confusing, and often incomplete. In today’s episode, Kelly sits down with Board-Certified Physician Assistant Katie Collins, PA-C, to talk about what real informed consent looks like and how parents can navigate these choices with confidence instead of fear.

Together, we break down how vaccines are studied, what’s included (and not included) in clinical trials, and how to approach this topic from a functional, holistic lens that honors both science and intuition.

Katie also walks through one specific vaccine as a real example — sharing what the clinical trial actually measured, what safety outcomes were considered, and how the risk vs. benefit of the disease compares with the risk vs. benefit of the vaccine. This section is eye-opening, empowering, and highlights why parents deserve deeper, clearer information before making long-term decisions.

This episode isn’t about convincing anyone of anything. It’s about equipping moms with clarity, context, and confidence so they can make the decisions that feel right for their family — without shame, pressure, or judgment.

💛 We cover:

• What “informed consent” really means (and why parents rarely receive it)
• How vaccines are tested, approved, and monitored
• Gaps and limitations in clinical trials parents should understand
• A deep dive into one vaccine’s actual trial design and safety data
• How to weigh the risks and benefits of a disease versus a vaccine
• How to research responsibly without spiraling
• How to communicate with other moms who make different vaccine decisions — without conflict
• How to find confidence and community in your choices

Katie’s goal — and mine — is for moms to feel informed, calm, and confident… not confused or judged.

In this episode, we’re talking all about sleep — baby sleep, our sleep, and what we’ve learned along the way. Our baby Danielle actually woke up right before we hit record (of course she did!), which felt perfectly fitting for this season of life.

We share what’s worked best for our family over time, the gentle sleep strategies that have helped us all get more rest, and the lessons we’ve learned through the process — especially when things didn’t go as planned.

This isn’t a “how-to” or a strict sleep training guide. It’s an honest conversation about what real-life sleep looks like with a little one — the messy, beautiful, and ever-changing parts of parenthood where we’re all just doing our best.

✨ In this episode, we chat about:

• Finding rhythms that work for your baby’s personality
• Navigating regressions, contact naps, and night wakings
• How stress, nutrition, and environment can affect sleep
• Letting go of the idea of “perfect sleep” and focusing on connection

If you’ve ever searched “how to get my baby to sleep” at 3 AM — this one’s for you.
