0:00.0	Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast.
0:05.3	I'm your host, Aaron Holt.
0:07.0	I'm a functional medicine nutritionist with a feisty attitude in over a decade of clinical experience.
0:13.0	I work with women all over the world through my online programs, and I'm also the founder of the Functional Nutrition Academy, a 12-month practitioner mentorship
0:22.5	where I help other nutrition pros level up with functional medicine methodologies.
0:28.1	I've got a bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional healthcare model that are both
0:32.8	systematically failing so many of us. Creating a new model is my life's work, and this is what the show's
0:39.4	all about. Please keep in mind this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should
0:45.5	never be used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment. If you like what you hear today,
0:51.2	I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review in iTunes,
0:54.6	share with a friend, and keep coming back for more. Thanks for joining me. Now let's dive deep.
1:02.8	Hi, friends. Happy New Year. This is our first official podcast of 2021. I needed to take a break last week. So I did. I took a break. Good for me, right?
1:16.3	This, I'm racing against the clock because in exactly 37 minutes, I will be going live in my
1:23.2	carb compatibility project group. So I have to keep myself honest here and not go on any
1:31.0	wild tangents, which is very hard for me because I love to teach. It's my most favorite thing
1:35.9	to do outside of playing in waves and sledding. Teaching is right up there. So I'm going to have to
1:42.7	be concise. Always a challenge, but I'm sure much appreciated on your end.
1:48.0	So happy New Year, if I didn't say that already, and I'm super stoked to be coming in hot
1:57.0	to this year.
1:58.7	We've got 93 folks in the CARB compatibility project, which is so exciting.
2:05.2	The big news in why I'm dropping this podcast on a Monday instead of my usual release day on
2:12.5	Tuesday is because we are opening up registration for your hormone revival today.
