About Functionally Feral

Functionally Feral is for women building businesses and raising babies- without losing their minds, their values, or their edge. Hosted by best friends Dr. Felicia and Dr. Natalie, both entrepreneurs and moms, this show dives into what it really looks like to lead at home and in business- with strategy, wellness, and a touch of rebellion. We talk about the tension and beauty of doing both well: Building successful, sustainable businesses and raising kids who are curious, conscious, and a little anti-authority.

   S2. Ep19 - Top Shelf Iron, Bottom Shelf Adrenals

   This week, apparently everybody has an ailment. Felicia wakes up with vertigo for the first time in her life and immediately begins investigating everything from her upper cervical spine to the hair-washing bowl at the salon. Natalie, meanwhile, is finally admitting that maybe — just maybe — she's stressed, as she navigates adrenal exhaustion, heart palpitations, family health issues, mold exposure, and the emotional toll of trying to help someone you love when you don't have all the answers. Then it's time for Felicia's long-awaited Function Health bloodwork, and the results are… humbling. Her blood volume may be coming back after her hemorrhage, but her ferritin reserves have barely budged, recovery is still rough, and she's officially graduated from "dollar store blood" to requesting the bougie, top-shelf iron. We're talking ferritin doping, blood transfusion conspiracies, mold and Lyme rabbit holes, COPD, nervous-system stress, post-exertional crashes, pelvic floor PT, Gene loving school, the future mold-detection dog, and the realization that sometimes "feeling better" and actually being recovered are two very different things. Basically: 10% valuable information, 80% gossip, 20% vibes. The math doesn't math, but neither do we.

   S2. Ep18. - Food Poisoning, HYROX, & Healthcare Horrors

   Felicia and Natalie are back with another episode that somehow goes from vacation chaos to HYROX training to a terrifying healthcare story in record time. Natalie recaps her trip to Utah, including a visit to Ballerina Farm, altitude-induced digestive adventures, a wedding, and the unfortunate realization that food poisoning does not care how nice your vacation is. Back home, the girls talk about being completely maxed out at work, Natalie casually puts out a podcast-wide help wanted ad for a chiropractor, and Felicia reveals that she and Dan officially signed up for HYROX—which means the training, fundraising, wall balls, and questionable financial decisions have officially begun. They also catch up on Felicia's recovery, getting back into exercise, postpartum brain fog finally lifting, and the latest additions to the basement wellness compound. Then things take a much more serious turn with the story of a friend whose ectopic pregnancy progressed into severe internal bleeding, emergency surgery, blood transfusions, and the loss of a fallopian tube. The girls unpack the series of events that led up to it, the questions it raised for them about follow-up care, and why advocating for yourself when something feels seriously wrong matters. Basically: Ballerina Farm, bodily fluids, basement saunas, HYROX, motherhood, and healthcare chaos. Just another normal episode of Functionally Feral.

   S2. Ep17 - The Summer We Went Viral - The Feral Girls are BACK

   We're back from summer break — and apparently, while we were gone, Functionally Feral went international?! We open Season 2, Episode 17 with the slightly terrifying realization that people in Vietnam, Brazil, Australia, and beyond have been listening to us overshare on the internet. Love that for us. Then it's straight back into the usual chaos: Natalie has four Roombas and somehow still needs a vacuum, Wilma is officially starting her mold-detection-dog era, and we may or may not have committed ourselves to doing HYROX in Chicago on Valentine's Day weekend. Felicia recaps her first weekend away without Giuseppe, including a truly unhinged experience at the W Hotel, while Natalie shares why unlimited Netflix got banned at her house and DVDs have officially made their comeback. We talk toddler bottles, screen-time detoxes, Christmas music in August, and Gene's very first week of preschool. Then we get into the health updates. Natalie's mold is officially undetectable, her Lyme numbers are way down, and she shares what she's been doing with her naturopath and bioenergetic testing. Felicia gives an update on her parents' homeopathic journeys, why healing doesn't always look pretty at first, and some pretty wild results she's seeing after taking an ICPA Tonal chiropractic course. Plus: low blood pressure, Oura thinking every walk is a hike, and a pretty big life update that Felicia is saving for next episode. Basically, we took the summer off and came back with a LOT to discuss. Welcome back to Functionally Feral.
