I didn’t feel like the mother I wanted to be…

There was a time when just walking my kids ¾ of a mile to school felt impossible.

And at night… I couldn’t even walk up the stairs to kiss them goodnight.

I was exhausted… in pain… and pushing myself just to get through the day.

And the hardest part wasn’t even the physical symptoms—
it was the guilt.

Feeling like I wasn’t showing up the way my family needed me to.
And what made it even more confusing…

was that I was a medical doctor being told nothing was wrong.
But something was wrong.

It turned out to be mold illness… Lyme… and Bartonella.

And over time, I had to learn how to heal my body—step by step.

Today, I’m walking and training for 130 miles.

And if you’re in that place right now—
feeling like you’re not the parent, partner, or person you want to be…

I want you to know—

you are not failing.

You are dealing with something real.

And there is a path forward.

Follow along—I’m sharing this journey because I know how many people are still in that place.

“I’m a medical doctor…
trained in conventional medicine…

and I was told there was nothing wrong with me.

Even though I was exhausted…
in pain…
and barely able to show up for my family.

There were days I couldn’t walk my kids to school…
and nights I couldn’t walk up the stairs to kiss them goodnight.

And the hardest part?

I started to question myself.

But deep down… I knew something wasn’t right.

It turned out I was dealing with mold illness…
Lyme… and Bartonella that had gone undiagnosed.

I had to step outside of everything I was trained in…
and learn how to heal my own body.

And now—
I’m preparing to walk 130 miles on the Camino.

Not because it was easy…
but because healing is possible.

And today, through Family Functional Medicine…
I help others who have been told ‘everything is normal’—
finally find answers.

If you feel unseen… unheard… or like you’re running out of hope—
you are not alone.”

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative used in skincare and cosmetics, typically as a safer alternative to parabens, which are endocrine disruptors.

But is this ingredient just another “regrettable substitution”? Let’s discuss!

Given that so many personal care product formulators are moving away from parabens, and given that nearly all products require preservatives (these help keep bacteria at bay), phenoxyethanol is showing up more and more on ingredient labels.

But many people, particularly in the wellness space, call it “super toxic.”

Here’s what the science says: Multiple regulatory bodies, including the European Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), have concluded phenoxyethanol is safe for all consumers, including children, when used at concentrations up to 1%.

Toxicological studies only show adverse effects at levels FAR higher than anything you’d encounter in personal care products. In fact, it’s considered one of the most well-tolerated preservatives in cosmetics.

What about side effects? Phenoxyethanol is a rare sensitizer; most people experience no irritation or reactions. Allergic contact dermatitis has been reported with mixtures that contain phenoxyethanol, but the reactions are linked more to the combination of preservatives rather than phenoxyethanol alone.

For babies and young children, regulators still consider it safe at ≤1%, though some agencies (like in France) recommend caution in diaper-area products. Here’s what’s important to know: the body absorbs very little phenoxyethanol through the skin, and what’s absorbed is quickly eliminated! Fantastic!

So, no, phenoxyethanol isn’t the “toxic” villain it’s made out to be. If you see it on ingredient labels, no need to be concerned!

Have you heard of this ingredient before, or seen it on labels?

Clear mind. Clear outlook.

Movement is one of the most underrated tools for mental clarity.
And it doesn’t have to be intense.

A short walk.
Stretching.
Stepping outside—even on a gloomy day.

Gentle movement helps circulate blood and oxygen to the brain and can shift you out of mental fog and into clearer thinking. Sitting in stillness all day often leads to stagnation, not rest.

Instead of asking “What should I do?” try asking:
✨ What kind of movement helps me feel clearer—not depleted?
✨ What feels realistic for me right now?

Small, consistent movement supports both your body and your mind.

Have you heard of the vagus nerve—but aren’t quite sure why it matters?

The vagus nerve is one of the major communication pathways between your brain and your body. It plays an important role in the parasympathetic nervous system—the part of your nervous system associated with rest, digestion and recovery.

It helps influence functions we don’t have to consciously think about, including heart rate, breathing and digestion. It also carries a great deal of information from the body back to the brain, making it an important part of the brain-body connection.

And just like other parts of our nervous system, there are ways we can support it.

Slow breathing, humming, movement, time in nature, meditation and other nervous-system practices can all be useful tools.

Apollo Neuro is another tool we use to support nervous system regulation. It’s a wearable that delivers gentle vibrations through the skin, designed to support the body as it shifts between states such as focus, relaxation and sleep.

The goal isn’t to stay relaxed all the time. A healthy nervous system needs to be able to respond when needed—and then find its way back toward recovery.

For our patients who are curious about Apollo Neuro, we have additional information and a discount available through our affiliate page.

What if you gave yourself an evening to simply rest? We would love for you to joins us for this special event TONIGHT at 6pm.

Family Functional Medicine and are coming together for the first event in our new 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 & 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀—opportunities to connect, learn, and support your well-being in community.

We’re beginning with 𝗡𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗡𝗦𝗗𝗥 & 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, led by Veda Spidle of Sama Integrative Wellness.

This small, semi-private evening is an opportunity to step away from the constant “doing” and give your nervous system some intentional time to slow down. We’ll begin with connection, followed by guided Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) and restorative sound healing, with time afterward for tea and conversation.

No experience is needed. Come as you are, get comfortable, and give yourself permission to rest.

With only 𝟴 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, we’re intentionally keeping this gathering small and supportive.

📅 October 8 at 6 PM
📍 Family Functional Medicine, Greensboro
💛 $65 per person
☕ Tea and light refreshments afterward

Give your nervous system an evening to pause, rest, and reconnect. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗼.

You never need to “prove” you’ve made progress before coming to a coaching session. 💛

Habits take time to build—and time to change. When something feels difficult, we can explore it together, adjust your next step, and find an approach that fits your life.

Coaching offers space for the wins, the setbacks, and the weeks when you feel stuck.

What’s one small change you’d like support with?

Breast cancer touches nearly every family. In 2022 alone, 2.3 million women worldwide were diagnosed, and more than 670,000 lives were lost. Advances in treatment have saved so many lives, but breast cancer prevention is often overlooked.

While 5–25% of breast cancers are linked to inherited genes, the majority are tied to environmental factors, things like diet, physical activity, alcohol use, and exposures to toxic chemicals.

Researchers have identified more than 900 chemicals that may contribute to breast cancer.

Some of the strongest evidence points to:
❌ BPA – found in can linings, plastics, and thermal receipts
❌ Phthalates – used in plastics and added to fragrances in cosmetics and personal care products
❌ Pesticides – used in conventional agriculture and lawn care
❌ PFAS – the “forever chemicals” found in water, food, and older nonstick cookware
❌ Dioxins – industrial byproducts that accumulate in meat, dairy, and seafood

Here are ways to lower exposure to these (and other) chemicals:

1️⃣ Skip fragranced home and body products
2️⃣ Choose personal care without parabens or phthalates
3️⃣ Limit nonstick cookware and stain-resistant fabrics
4️⃣ Wet-dust and vacuum regularly
5️⃣ Minimize canned foods to reduce BPA exposure
6️⃣ Avoid pesticide use at home and prioritize organic produce when possible

Changing our environment, even in small ways, can become a powerful tool for breast cancer prevention! Which of these are you already doing?
