What is Functional Medicine? 

We like to think of it as Root Cause or Upstream medicine. 

How did this all start in the first place? 

Listen in and learn how Functional Medicine providers begin to tease apart the chronic disease process to help their clients feel better and heal.

Rooted in Healing - May Tom RD

I believe in going to the root.
To the root of your fatigue.
To the root of your chronic pain.
To the root of the disconnection between your body, your mind, and your spirit.

Because beneath the symptoms, beneath the lab results, and beneath the labels—there’s a story.
And every story deserves to be heard.

You might be here because traditional medicine hasn’t given you the answers you need. You might be here because something in your body feels “off,” but no one can tell you why. Or maybe… you’re just curious about what it means to truly thrive—not just survive.

This show is for all of that.

Here, we’ll explore the science and soul of functional medicine. We’ll talk about hormones and gut health, trauma and inflammation, mindset and movement, and the deep intelligence your body holds. We’ll explore how ancient wisdom and modern medicine can coexist—beautifully.

We’ll hear from experts, from patients, and from the parts of ourselves we’ve learned to ignore. And all of it will be real, honest, and hopefully—empowering.

I want this to be more than a podcast. I want it to feel like a circle. A place to slow down, breathe deep, and remember: your health is not broken. Your body is not the enemy. And it’s never too late to come home to yourself.

So, whether you're listening from the trail, the car, or the couch—thank you.
Thank you for being open. Thank you for being curious. And thank you for letting me walk alongside you on this journey.
