What have I eaten this past week? Here are some photos. I have many patients who come in for functional medicine and find out that dietary changes are crucial to restoring their health. I know from experience that it’s not easy. When I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2021 I felt so limited with what I could eat. At first it feels impossible to find food at the grocery store that is safe. Everything seems to be contaminated. With time you begin to know your products. With recipe planning every week it gets easier to find a healthy variety of foods you can eat. I will say that it does really make you get creative with cooking. You begin to understand new flavors and are more willing to try new types of foods you may not have been exposed to before.

Trying to eat healthy can be hard. We have a small starter garden in our yard. It’s a good little beginning to have access to quick veggies between grocery store runs.

Sometimes the relief starts the moment you stop researching and make the decision.

If you’re the person with 17 tabs open, Mayo Clinic in one, TikTok in another, and a group chat full of opinions - this is your sign to stop spiraling and get real help.

Save this for the day you need permission to stop doing it all alone.
Sometimes the least expensive thing for your health, your child’s health, and your mental health is just scheduling the meet and greet.
Not because you “gave up.”
Because you chose clarity over chaos.
If this is you, comment “ME” or send this to the person who keeps saying, “I’m still looking into it.”

My baby Willow went in for surgery on her Ruptured Cranial Cruciate Ligament. She has a long road to recovery but she’s in good spirits and will be hanging out with her daddy in his 6th grade classroom while she recovers. Our dogs are our family. While I’m not a veterinarian the medical terminology and physiology is recognizable. It’s harder when medical emergencies happen in the home and happen to your own. Handing off the care in the hands of someone who I trust is incredibly important. Thank you Dr. Crouch and Staff at Western Carolina Veterinary Surgery for taking care of Willow❤️

Parents don’t usually want “holistic” care.
They want to feel heard.
If you’ve ever wished a doctor would slow down, explain the scary stuff, and not make you feel rushed - this is for you. Comment "thoughtful care" if that’s what you’re looking for.
What parents are really asking for is:
Someone who listens without interrupting
Someone who explains what matters and what doesn’t
Someone who helps you leave calmer, not more confused
If that’s what you value too, you’re not asking for too much.
That’s just thoughtful care.

You start by Googling one simple question - and 30 minutes later you're deeper in vaccines, probiotics, and sleep training than ever.
Comment "ME" if this has happened to you.

The internet can give you a lot of information.
What it can't give you is context.
It can't tell you what actually matters for your baby, or what fits your family values. That’s the part that makes everything feel lighter - having someone you trust help you sort through the noise.
If you’ve been stuck in the spiral, you’re not alone.
Save this for later and book a meet and greet when you’re ready to talk it through.

The sentence that breaks my heart every week?
“I don’t even know what questions I’m supposed to ask.”
If you’re a new parent, save this - and send it to someone who needs to hear it. 📌
You are not supposed to know everything.
Good parents ask questions.
Great care makes it safe to ask them.
Confidence is built one conversation at a time.
Vitamin K, tongue tie, sleep, wake windows, fever, RSV, solids - if you’re wondering it, you’re not behind.
You’re learning.
And honestly, that should feel safe. Not embarrassing.

What question do you wish someone had answered without making you feel silly?

What does “holistic” actually mean?
For me, it’s not natural vs conventional - it’s caring for the whole child.

Tag a parent who’s trying to make sense of all the options. 💛
Sometimes that means medicine.

Sometimes nutrition.

Sometimes herbs.

Sometimes reassurance.

And sometimes it’s just listening.
Because there’s a child, a story, a personality, and a whole family sitting in front of me - not just a symptom.
That’s what holistic has always meant to me.
