Summary

There’s no question that the conventional medicine system is tragically broken. We’re seeing a greater demand for another way, and functional practitioners are filling that need. But if you’re a newer practitioner, how do you get started growing your skillset and confidence, and do so in a way that is responsible to your clients?

In the first episode of a 2-part conversation, Erin presents actionable steps for practitioners to become advanced in their fields and accelerate their clients’ transformation. Seeking mentorship, developing an advanced mindset and critical thinking skills, and devoting oneself to continued education are all key elements to building a successful practice and getting tangible results.

If you’re a practitioner and looking for the education and expert support system to help you level up, the Funk’tional Nutrition Academy is currently open for enrollment, with early bird enrollment bonuses available now through March 17! PLUS, practitioners are invited to join us for a FREE Functional Lab Testing Masterclass on Thursday March 23rd at 6pm ET!

0:13.1	I work with women all over the world through my online programs. And I'm also the founder of the
0:18.0	Functional Nutrition Academy, a school in practitioner mentorship
0:21.7	where we help other clinicians level up with functional medicine methodologies.
0:26.9	I've got a bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional healthcare model that are both
0:31.7	systematically failing so many of us. Creating a new model is my life's work, and this is what this show's all about.

1:15.7	about that. Today we're going to talk about some practitioner stuff. Last week I had a bad doctor's

1:30.5	So in order for me to tell you about that, I have to tell you about some butt stuff,
