We spent our first 4th of July with a 5-month-old—and what was supposed to be an hour on Landon’s boat turned into an all-day adventure with friends, babies, sunburns... and not enough snacks. 😅 I nursed almost the whole time to keep our baby hydrated (thank you, Texas heat), but I didn’t pack nearly enough food for myself—and definitely paid the price by the end of the day.

This week, we’re talking about what functional medicine actually is—how it differs from conventional medicine, and how I ended up leaving retail pharmacy to pursue this root-cause approach. After seeing so many patients on multiple prescriptions who still weren’t feeling better—and counseling women who were doing everything “right” and still not losing weight—I knew there had to be more to the story.

We chat about hormone health, gut health, detox pathways, and why just treating symptoms doesn’t always get results. We also bust a few common myths (no, functional medicine isn’t just vibes—it’s science-based when done right!) and answer some listener questions. And of course… Landon brings the dad joke of the day to close things out.

Our baby is 5 months old, so it’s time to start thinking about first foods! In this episode, we share our plans to introduce solids in a way that supports her gut health from the very beginning—think meat stock, gentle veggies, and nutrient-dense options before diving into the fun stuff (Landon’s dreaming of torturing her with lemons already 😅).

We also dive into leaky gut—what it actually is, why it’s so common, and how the symptoms can sneak up in unexpected ways (like fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, or mood swings). We cover some supplements that can help support gut healing—check out the full protocol on MolineMethod.com via our Fullscript link (with 10% off as a thank you for supporting our small biz 💛).

Landon gets a surprise list of lifestyle changes he might not be ready for (but they’re simple enough to try!), and we wrap up with a listener question about how gut health can impact mental health—plus, Landon’s dad joke of the day!

This week, we’re diving into something so many new parents go through but don’t always talk about—postpartum depression (yes, it can affect dads too!).

We share our personal experiences during those early months—what caught us off guard, what helped us cope, and how it felt to solo parent while the other was away (shoutout to the boys’ trip and bachelorette weekend 😂).

Inside the episode:

• How postpartum can feel heavy even when you're deeply grateful
• Signs to look for in yourself or your partner
• The lifestyle, diet, and supplement strategies that made a difference for us
• And a reminder that there’s zero shame in needing support—whether that’s therapy, medication, or just a really good cry

Whether you're in the thick of it or supporting someone who is, we hope this conversation makes you feel seen and supported.

In this episode, we’re sharing real-life moments from our baby’s 4-month checkup — tiny razor-sharp nails, unpredictable poop schedules, and the truth about breastfed babies who don’t go every day (yes, it’s normal!).

In this episode of Moline Method Mic’d, we’re sharing the unexpected journey of our daughter’s birth — from planning a peaceful home birth to a surprise early delivery at the hospital. We open up about what it was like when Kelly’s water broke ahead of schedule, how we adapted in the moment, and the incredible support we received from our doula, midwives, and the strength we found through Jesus.

You’ll hear how we prepared for labor naturally using nutrient-dense foods, functional medicine tools, and mindset work, plus what really helped in the moment — including counter pressure techniques and staying fueled through contractions. Whether you’re planning a natural birth or just curious about how birth can unfold outside of a textbook, this honest conversation is filled with encouragement, insight, and grace for the unexpected.

In our very first episode of Moline Method Mic’d, we’re diving into real life with a baby and real solutions for brain fog. We share the highs and hiccups of our daughter’s first plane ride — including the nerves about being “those parents,” handling mid-air diaper changes, and the surprising moments that made it all worth it.

Then we unpack brain fog — from postpartum hormones to stress and even menopause. Whether you're a new mom, a burnt-out parent, or just feeling foggy, we break down root causes, nutrition tips, supplement support, and simple lifestyle shifts that can help clear your head and boost your energy.

This episode is light, real, and packed with functional medicine insights for parents and anyone juggling stress and brain fog.
