I'm Erin Holt, and this is the Functional Nutrition Podcast where we lean into intuitive

functional medicine. We look at how diet, our environment, our emotions, and our beliefs

all affect our physical health. This podcast is your full-bodied, well-rounded resource.

I've got over a decade of clinical experience, and because of that,

I've got a major bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional health care model. They're

both failing so many of us. But functional medicine isn't the panacea that it's made out to be

either. We've got some work to do. And that's why creating a new model is my life's work.

I believe in the ripple effect, so I founded the Functional Nutrition Academy, a school and mentorship for practitioners

who want to do the same. This show is for you if you're looking for new ways of thinking about

your health and you're ready to be an active participant in your own healing. You'll get things

here that you won't get

other places. Please keep in mind this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should

never be used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment. I would love for you to follow

the show, rate, review, and share because you never know whose life you might change. And of course,

keep coming back for more.

Now give me the mic so I can take it away.

Hello, my friends. Today we're going to discuss a listener question about building confidence

while eating more food. This is going to be a shorty episode because it's still technically a get lifted Thursday.

However, this will be our last get lifted Thursday for a while anyway. You know I started adding

a second episode every single week and it was an experiment to see how it went. And I gave myself permission to change my mind. And I communicated

that with everybody. And we are officially changing our minds. What's interesting is that despite

adding a second episode every week, our listenership, our downloads actually decreased the past month.
