“Your labs are normal”… but you feel terrible.

I’ve been there.

As a physician, I was told nothing was wrong—while dealing with mold illness and chronic infections.

Normal labs don’t always mean a healthy body.
Sometimes it just means no one has looked deep enough yet.

You are not alone. 🤍

So much of the way that people online talk about environmental chemicals focuses on detoxes, supplements, and expensive biohacking products. 💸

The #1 way to start lowering your exposure to harmful chemicals in your daily life (we all have them) is with simple, low-cost interventions!

This work is personal for me.

My path into health coaching came through my own health challenges—and supporting my daughter through hers.

That experience showed me how complex health can be, but also how much the day-to-day matters.

Not extreme changes. Not perfect plans.

But small, consistent habits that support your body over time.

That’s the focus of what I do—helping you take what you’re learning about your health and turn it into something realistic and sustainable.

Because information alone isn’t enough.

Implementation is where change happens.

As I prepare to walk 130 miles on the Camino…

I keep thinking about how similar this is to healing.

In medicine, we’re often taught to look for quick answers… quick fixes.

But that’s not how real healing works.

Healing is a path—
with hills… setbacks… and days you want to quit.

I know that because I lived it.

From mold illness… Lyme… Bartonella…
to where I am today.

And now I help others walk that same path—
step by step—at Family Functional Medicine.

It’s World Health Day 🌍—a perfect moment to reflect on the health of our communities and what really moves the needle when it comes to getting people well!

Here in the U.S., we’re facing a chronic disease crisis. Rates of diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic issues are climbing, and most of them are tied to modifiable factors—things we can actually DO something about.

The biggest game-changers?

🥦 Eating fruits and veggies daily— most Americans don’t eat close to enough fruits & veggies and don’t get nearly enough fiber in their diets.
🚶🏽♀️ Moving our bodies consistently— similarly, many Americans aren’t physically active enough.

We also need to collectively address what are referred to as the “social determinants of health.”
These include:

💵 Economic stability
🧑🏫 Access to quality education
🏥 Access to affordable healthcare
🏠 Stable affordable housing
🌳 Access to green spaces
👭 Strong social connections

But it doesn’t stop there. Our environment plays a HUGE role in long-term health. Everyday chemicals like phthalates, BPA, PFAS, heavy metals, and pesticides quietly impact hormone balance, immune function, and even fertility.

While we can each take steps to reduce exposure, we ALSO need systemic change—regulations that hold polluting industries accountable and prioritize public health over profit!

Let this be a reminder: Real health is built at the intersection of individual habits and collective action. 💪🌱

I didn’t feel like the mother I wanted to be…

There was a time when just walking my kids ¾ of a mile to school felt impossible.

And at night… I couldn’t even walk up the stairs to kiss them goodnight.

I was exhausted… in pain… and pushing myself just to get through the day.

And the hardest part wasn’t even the physical symptoms—
it was the guilt.

Feeling like I wasn’t showing up the way my family needed me to.
And what made it even more confusing…

was that I was a medical doctor being told nothing was wrong.
But something was wrong.

It turned out to be mold illness… Lyme… and Bartonella.

And over time, I had to learn how to heal my body—step by step.

Today, I’m walking and training for 130 miles.

And if you’re in that place right now—
feeling like you’re not the parent, partner, or person you want to be…

I want you to know—

you are not failing.

You are dealing with something real.

And there is a path forward.

Follow along—I’m sharing this journey because I know how many people are still in that place.

“I’m a medical doctor…
trained in conventional medicine…

and I was told there was nothing wrong with me.

Even though I was exhausted…
in pain…
and barely able to show up for my family.

There were days I couldn’t walk my kids to school…
and nights I couldn’t walk up the stairs to kiss them goodnight.

And the hardest part?

I started to question myself.

But deep down… I knew something wasn’t right.

It turned out I was dealing with mold illness…
Lyme… and Bartonella that had gone undiagnosed.

I had to step outside of everything I was trained in…
and learn how to heal my own body.

And now—
I’m preparing to walk 130 miles on the Camino.

Not because it was easy…
but because healing is possible.

And today, through Family Functional Medicine…
I help others who have been told ‘everything is normal’—
finally find answers.

If you feel unseen… unheard… or like you’re running out of hope—
you are not alone.”

We all know that mental health issues are a big societal and individual problem, with more and more people struggling with anxiety and depression than seemingly ever before. 😔🫥

Mental health issues are multifactorial - genetics, neurochemistry, trauma, chronic stress, poor sleep and nutrition, substance abuse, social isolation, and some medications are just a few of the things that can contribute.

One often overlooked factor is environmental exposure to things like air pollution and heavy metals!

A recent review of over 100 studies explored links between environmental exposures and mental health, and the findings are eye-opening. 👀

💨 Air pollution—especially PM2.5, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide—has one of the strongest and most consistent connections to depression. Long-term exposure seems to impact brain health and inflammation.

🚬 Secondhand smoke (particularly in pregnancy or childhood) is another big one. People exposed early in life had a higher risk of depression and anxiety.

⚠️ Heavy metals like lead and cadmium also show some links to both anxiety and depression—especially in long-term exposure. Think old pipes, contaminated soil, or workplace hazards.

While we can’t control all of these exposures, we can make small changes to lower them, including using an air purifier indoors, avoiding areas with heavy traffic when exercising, going fragrance-free at home, and reducing secondhand smoke exposure wherever possible.

Making these changes won’t suddenly eliminate anxiety or “cure” depression, but they may “take the foot off the gas,” so to speak!

Cleaning up the environment and curbing air pollution has so many benefits - protecting mental health is just one of them. 🌍💚

Welcome to “Environmental Toxins Basics” series, where we do a mini breakdown of the chemical names we see tossed around all the time but that you might be fuzzy on.

👉Today is pesticides!

“Pesticide” is a catch-all term that really applies to chemicals (both natural and synthetic) that are used to kill or control pests, including insects, weeds, fungi, and rodents.

Swipe through to learn more about these chemicals, where we are exposed to them, what the health issues are with them, and what the big takeaway is!

Then, pop in the comments and let me know what questions you have!

About Dr. Ingram

Ami Ingram, MD, is licensed to practice Medicine in North Carolina and Texas. She received her undergraduate degree in Biology from North Carolina State University and her medical degree from Brody – East Carolina University School of medicine in Greenville, N.C.

Dr. Ingram spent several years working in a family practice, as well as in obstetrics. She kept noticing that many of the prescriptions she wrote included side effects that often required additionalprescriptions for her patients. This created further side effects.

What was the root cause of their illness, she wondered. Was it possible to get upstream from their malady? Dr. Ingram's research soon took her to the relationship between the body's organs alongside the overlay of genetics, nutrition and lifestyle.

Through courses offered through the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM), the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM), North Carolina Integrative Medicine Society (NCIMS) and Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Ingram has developed a multi-faceted, natural approach to treat both existing conditions and get ahead of challenges that may present later in life.
