Summary
Erin dives into the neurobiology behind chronic conditions like Long Covid, Epstein Barr virus, mold, and chemical sensitivities (so many more). The original infection can go away but the brain may still correlate those symptoms to the previous infection. Previously neutral symptoms like feeling tired or having a stomach ache can now communicate “I am still sick” to the mind and start a cascade of immune responses in the body. Learn different tools to calm down your nervous system so that you can begin to rewire your brain to look at the ways in which your body IS working.
In our Manifest Your Health™ mini series, Erin continues to offer up new ways to think about your health. You'll walk away with perspective shifts to help you view your own healing potential!

| 0:22.2 | I've got a major bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional health care model. |
| 0:26.4 | They're both failing so many of us. But functional medicine isn't the panacea that it's made |
| 0:31.3 | out to be either. We've got some work to do, and that's why creating a new model is my life's |
| 0:37.0 | work. I believe in the ripple |
| 0:38.7 | effect. So I founded the Functional Nutrition Academy, a school and mentorship for practitioners |
