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,
0:34.8	food, and nutrition, unpacking current research and almost a decade of clinical
0:40.3	experience. I love to bring experts and thought leaders to the table so we can all learn
0:45.4	together. Please keep in mind this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should never
0:51.9	be used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment.
0:55.8	Thanks for joining me. Now let's dive in.
1:01.4	What's up, guys? We're going to get right into it today. I'm talking about ways to optimize

1:41.5	so I have like a very, damn it, please excuse the background
1:45.2	noise, a very rudimentary setup. And I'm holding a microphone like I'm Christina Aguilera,
1:53.1	circa 99. So we'll do our best here. Now, since we're talking about food, somebody did ask me on Instagram to touch upon the COVID-15, you know, the play on the freshman 15, everybody's home and eating all the food and gaining all the weight, right? That's what the joke is all about. Personally, I don't see that kind of stuff in my feed. I've invested time in cleaning up my feed.
2:20.8	Anything fatphobic, anything over-the-top diet culture, it's already gone. It's been purged.
2:27.0	So if you're seeing a lot of stuff like that and it's making you freak out, then get rid of it.
2:32.5	There's also another question about how to keep you and your kids from
2:37.9	snacking all day long. Now, the answer for us is pretty simple. We don't buy snack foods. We buy
