0:00.0	Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt, and I'm a board-certified, integrative, and functional nutritionist. I live on the sea coast of New Hampshire and work with clients in my virtual practice all over the world through private consultations and online nutrition and functional
0:22.4	medicine programs. Functional medicine nutrition is all about diving deep with people to get to the root
0:28.6	cause of their health issues. And that's exactly what I tackle in this podcast, all things health,

1:31.8	Why is everyone freaking out about the coronavirus?
1:33.9	Because the flu is way more deadly.
1:35.6	You should be scared of that.
1:38.1	Cool.
1:38.9	If you have anxiety flags like I do, they were flying high this week, which is why I'm here in your earhole right
1:46.1	now. I was planning to do a listener question show this week, but we're going to put that one off
1:52.5	so we can hopefully soothe your souls this week. Now, I know that I've already discussed
