With a lot of overlap and instant clicks on similar outlooks, this episode is full of energy and passion when it comes to the beauty industry and skin care.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt. I'm a functional medicine
0:07.8	nutritionist with a feisty attitude in over a decade of clinical experience. I work with women
0:13.6	all over the world through my online programs, and I'm also the founder of the Functional Nutrition
0:19.3	Academy, a 12-month practitioner mentorship
0:22.2	where I help other nutrition pros level up with functional medicine methodologies.
0:27.9	I've got a bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional healthcare model that are both
0:32.6	systematically failing so many of us. Creating a new model is my life's work, and this is what the show's all
0:39.5	about. Please keep in mind this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should never
0:45.5	be used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment. If you like what you hear today,
0:50.9	I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review in iTunes, share with a friend,
0:55.4	and keep coming back for more. Thanks for joining me. Now let's dive deep.

1:10.7	So I know them
1:12.0	personally. I use this company personally. They are committed to regenerative farming practices.
1:17.2	So they're giving more than they take, giving more back to the land than they take. And I want you to
1:22.8	understand that not all CBD products are created equally. So you always have to be a savvy consumer if you're
1:28.8	utilizing CBD. A common question that people will ask is, what dose do I start out with? And
1:34.7	Coyote River always recommends, same thing that I do. Start low and go slow. Start with a low dose,
1:40.6	slowly work your way up to the results that you're after. It can take a few weeks
1:45.3	of consistently using CBD for your body to fully recognize it. So it is a good daily routine.
1:52.9	I suggest starting with Coyote River, 500 milligram hemp tincture, you can titrate that dose up
