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. 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.

factor present. So I decided to treat. And I was sharing my GI map results. After eight
