In this episode of The Health Starts at Home Podcast, Holly Jean Mullen sits down with Tia Christ, FNP-C, founder of Pathway Health & Beauty in Owasso, Oklahoma. Tia is a board-certified family nurse practitioner and certified functional medicine practitioner with specialized training in bioidentical hormone therapy. She brings years of experience in internal medicine, critical care, and now functional medicine, helping patients overcome chronic fatigue, gut issues, thyroid conditions, mold toxicity, hormone imbalances, and more.

Together, we explore:

  • Why so many people live with unexplained fatigue, brain fog, and gut struggles
  • The difference between real functional medicine and buzzword marketing
  • Red flags to watch for when choosing a practitioner
  • How hidden stressors like mold, endocrine-disrupting products, and everyday toxins impact health
  • Why “root cause” is rarely just one thing—and what it really takes to heal
  • The rise of hormone health conversations for both women and men, and what bioidentical hormone therapy can (and can’t) do
  • Simple swaps and lifestyle changes that make a big difference without overwhelm

We also talk about the direct primary care model, how to think beyond traditional insurance, and why you do have the power to change your health—even if genetics, environment, or stress have stacked the odds against you.

Tia shares how her clinic takes a whole-person, whole-environment approach—meeting patients where they are, simplifying instead of overwhelming, and blending functional health with natural beauty therapies like microneedling, chemical peels, and bioidentical hormone optimization.
