This is something I’ve wanted to talk about for a long time — but I could never quite put it into words. Then, after hearing the same frustrations come up again and again in my discovery calls lately, I realized it was time. We’re getting into why most functional medicine doesn’t actually stick — and what we do differently here at Motherland to make sure we’re the last practitioners you ever have to work with. Here’s the deal: most of the women who come to us have already worked with other fu...
Let’s talk about a topic that so many women feel ashamed of—and I really want to take that shame out of it—weight loss. There’s a lot of noise around this topic, and honestly, most of it is really annoying. So today, I’m breaking down what’s actually going on inside your body and why so many women feel stuck when it comes to changing their body composition. Here’s the thing: if you’ve tried all the things and nothing’s working, it’s not because you’re broken or lazy. It’s because your body is...
Let’s talk hormones, shall we? I know you probably feel like you’re doing everything right — working out, eating well, buying all the supplements — but your cycle is still unpredictable and your energy feels off. The truth is, some of the things you think are helping might actually be doing the opposite. In this episode, I’m breaking down six sneaky things that might be f*ing with your hormones and what to do instead. We’re talking supplements (and why “random influencer recs” aren’t it), wee...
I’ve been wanting to chat about this for a while, and honestly, this one feels extra personal. I cozied up with my water, blanket, and sweatshirt for this conversation because it’s one that’s been on my mind quite a bit lately — the whole “do we want another baby?” conversation. When Chris and I first talked about kids, we were totally those people who said, “Yeah, two under two sounds great.” Like… that’s just what you do, right? Keep yourself in baby mode, give your kid a built-in buddy, an...
This episode is extra special because I’m joined by one of my closest friends, Kim—the person who hears all the crazy thoughts in my head on a daily basis. She’s a functional nutritionist, founder of Root and Branch Nutrition, and one of the women I admire most in this world. Oh, and she’s also a mom of two, which means she gets it on every level. We’re diving into burnout, stress, and resilience in motherhood, and let’s be real—this conversation is for anyone who feels like they’re running o...
I’ve never shared Rylo’s birth story publicly—until now. This episode feels both vulnerable and freeing, because his birth shaped so much of who I am today and even plays into why we haven’t had another baby yet. From the moment we started trying to conceive, I was full of hope and anticipation. But by week six of pregnancy, everything shifted. I was hit with hyperemesis gravidarum, and let me tell you, throwing up 12–18 times a day until 34 weeks pregnant was brutal. I couldn’t eat, I could ...
We made it. Welcome to episode one of It’s All Connected. Not gonna lie, this is actually my second attempt at recording episode one because apparently tech issues are a podcaster’s nightmare and, yep, I already hit it. But here we are — I’m officially a podcaster now! I was supposed to launch this podcast back in December 2020, right after I found out I was pregnant with Rylo. But then hyperemesis decided to ruin my life (hi, puking 18 times a day). Then came birth, then motherhood, then bui...
It’s All Connected is where functional medicine meets real life — no fluff, no fearmongering, just real talk about hormones, fertility, and the kind of life that includes school pickup lines, chaotic mornings, and yes… Oreos before bed. I’m Kinsey Olson — founder of Motherland Wellness, functional nurse, and your no-BS guide to finally figuring out what the hell is going on with your hormones. I’m here to call out the fearmongering and fads in the wellness world and show you how to actually h...
