Welcome to Functionally Speaking— the podcast where two clinicians share one brain cell and way too many opinions.
We’re here for the nuance, the hot takes, the facts your certification skipped over, and the occasional spiral into chaos. If you’re a health coach, practitioner, or clinician who’s slightly functional (just like our mitochondria and our recording process), you’re in the right place.
We’re not here to sugarcoat the science or pretend there’s one right way to do this work — we’re doing it our way. Unfiltered. Slightly feral. And always with love for the humans we serve.
Let’s get into it.

We talk about where things like DIM, oregano oil, berberine, zinc, and greens powders can absolutely make sense…and where they turn into shortc...

27. When Wellness Becomes a Mask for Disordered Behavior
Is it wellness or is it just disordered behavior in disguise? In this episode of the Functionally Speaking podcast, we’re naming what’s really going on behind the clean eating trends, detox culture, step-count obsession, and hypertracking disguised as health. From “I need to track to eat enough” to “I can’t skip a workout,” we’re breaking down the disordered behaviors that are getting rebranded as commitment, control, or self-care. If you’re a practitioner, you need to know what to look f...
