0:00.0	I'm Erin Holt, and this is the Functional Nutrition Podcast, where we lean into intuitive
0:07.2	functional medicine. We look at how diet, our environment, our emotions, and our beliefs
0:12.5	all affect our physical health. This podcast is your full-bodied, well-rounded resource.

1:18.0	I'm really excited about this one.
1:19.9	This one is like near and dear to my heart because I'm talking about ambition and your

1:27.0	I talked about this a little bit on Instagram. I was kind of joking
