0:00.0	I'm Erin Holt, and this is the Functional Nutrition Podcast, where we lean into intuitive
0:07.2	functional medicine. We look at how diet, our environment, our emotions, and our beliefs
0:12.5	all affect our physical health. This podcast is your full-bodied, well-rounded resource.
0:18.6	I've got over a decade of clinical experience and because of that,
0:22.2	I've got a major bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional health care model.
0:26.3	They're both failing so many of us. But functional medicine isn't the panacea that it's made out
0:31.5	to be either. We've got some work to do. And that's why creating a new model is my life's work.
0:38.7	I believe in the ripple effect. So I founded the Functional Nutrition Academy, a school and mentorship for practitioners
0:43.5	who want to do the same. This show is for you if you're looking for new ways of thinking about

1:20.2	So if you are someone who's looking for more hormone regulation, hormone balance,
1:25.1	whatever you want to call it, and you are not considering your gut.
1:28.9	It's a major oversight. So today I'm going to share some reasons why, because I love the fact
1:33.5	that we're all talking about and thinking about our hormones. So I just want to make sure that if
1:38.2	you're putting in steps for good hormone health, you're not overlooking a huge critical component
1:43.3	to all of that, which is your gut.
