Summary

Today Erin takes a more of a town hall approach to discuss our modern food system and how this plays a role in not only our immune and overall health, but also our kids' health. This episode packs plenty of food for thought: stats and information surrounding our rapidly changing food system, chronic illness, autoimmune disease, access to food, and key factors for a solid health foundation. While Erin points out many problems seen between our modern way of food production and consumption and disease, she also reminds us we all have more power than we think when it comes to informed food choices to positively affect our (and our children’s) health. Tune in to hear this powerful forum on the state of our nation's food and health.

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.
0:40.4	Please keep in mind this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should never be
0:45.7	used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment. If you like what you hear today,
0:50.9	I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review in iTunes, share with a friend,
0:55.4	and keep coming back for more. Thanks for joining me. Now let's dive deep.
1:02.0	This episode is brought to you by our show's sponsor, Organify, if you're interested in
1:07.6	hormonal health. I suggest you check out their harmony blend. It was specifically
1:12.1	designed for PMS support to help balance out female hormones and to give you a little energy
1:17.7	boost with the adaptogenic herbs that they use like Chattavari and Makka. So it's a cacao and
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,
