0:00.0	Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt. I'm a functional
0:07.4	medicine nutritionist with a feisty attitude in over a decade of clinical experience. I work with
0:13.3	women all over the world through my online programs, and I'm also the founder of the Functional
0:18.9	Nutrition Academy, a 12-month practitioner mentorship where I help other nutrition pros level up
0:25.3	with functional medicine methodologies.
0:27.9	I've got a bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional healthcare model
0:31.6	that are both systematically failing so many of us.
0:35.3	Creating a new model is my life's work, and this is what the show's all about.

1:24.0	maca blend. I happen to love those two flavors together so tasty. We also have
1:29.7	ginger and turmeric added to the mix. So it's kind of like a spicy treat. Chase tree berries also
1:35.7	featured, which is an herb that has been long shown to support female hormones. So I highly
1:41.9	recommend that product. It's really tasty. You could also look into
1:45.5	their gold powder, one of their best sellers. That's a turmeric ginger blend. Both are anti-inflammatory.
1:51.2	And listen, menstruation, having a period is a naturally inflammatory process. And so if you're experiencing wonkiness during those times of the month,
