Doctor Molly

We had another baby– surprise! Or, well, maybe not to anyone else 🙂 And while you might think that I’m a seasoned veteran by now, there are more than a few things I wanted to do differently this time around for sweet baby #5. From my prenatal nutrition and care to the newborn essentials I […]

Even my most natural-minded patients want to whiten their teeth- because a beautiful smile contributes to the way we feel about ourselves. But using over-the-counter whitening products or prescription whitening gels from a dentist can weaken your enamel with prolonged use, which leaves your teeth susceptible to cavities and long-term cold sensitivity. While I never […]

I remember being a disappointed twelve-year-old at the dentist. No, I didn’t get the news of cavities. In my pre-teen mind, it was much worse. Dr. Condello had just told me — *gasp*— that I did not need a referral to get braces. UGH. Obviously Dr. C had no idea what it was like to […]

I blame Pinterest. If I could go back in time, […]

If the former Takeout Queen could see this girl now– sharing ideas for family dinner that can’t be picked out of the freezer section– well, I hope she would be proud, but I’d probably have to scrape her jaw off the floor first. It’s taken me longer than I’d like to admit to get here– […]

Hello there, all you functional health fanatics, sourdough makers, and rebel homesteaders! If I just called your name in that last sentence, go ahead and make yourself comfortable- you’ll probably feel at home around these parts. Let’s get one thing straight right from the get-go: this blog, along with all of the content I post […]
