Summary

A lot of practitioners, especially those newer to functional medicine, put pressure on themselves to be all the things and know all the things–which can often lead to crippling self-doubt. The successful practitioner, on the other hand, is one who has a solid sense of self, works within their skill sets and strengths, and acknowledges their limitations.

Continuing last week’s conversation, Erin dives into the mindset piece of becoming a good practitioner. Comparison, self doubt, and imposter syndrome all hold people back from sharing their gifts, which is why doing inner work and overcoming self-doubt is REQUIRED in order to be of greater service to those who need it most.

If you’re a practitioner and looking for the education and expert support system to help you level up, the Funk’tional Nutrition Academy is currently open for enrollment! PLUS, practitioners are invited to join us for a FREE Functional Lab Testing Masterclass on Thursday March 23rd at 6pm ET!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt. I'm an integrative and
0:07.2	functional medicine nutritionist with a feisty attitude in well over a decade of clinical experience.
0:13.0	I work with women all over the world through my online programs. And I'm also the founder of the
0:18.0	Functional Nutrition Academy, a school in practitioner mentorship
0:21.7	where we help other clinicians level up with functional medicine methodologies. I've got a bone
0:27.6	to pick with diet culture and the conventional health care model that are both systematically
0:32.4	failing so many of us. Creating a new model is my life's work, and this is what this show's all about.
0:39.3	Please keep in mind, this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should never
0:44.0	be used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment. If you like what you hear
0:48.4	today, I would love for you to subscribe to the show, leave a review in iTunes, share with
0:52.9	a friend, and keep coming back for more.
0:55.3	Now give me the mic so I can take it away.
1:00.9	Hi, friends. We're back with another episode, sort of a continuation on from last week's
1:06.5	conversation. So far, the month of March has been kind of dedicated to practitioner-related
1:12.1	resources. I know it's not my whole audience, but there sure are a lot of you out there and
1:17.7	love hearing from you. I'm so glad this stuff is resonating with you. And also just want to
1:21.9	take a moment to express my appreciation to those of you who are so willing to share this resource with your
1:30.3	friends, your peers, your colleagues. It really just means so much to me and I super
1:35.9	appreciate it. I guess I unintentionally opened a loop and didn't close it last week when I was
1:42.7	talking about my constipation.
1:45.2	So apologies to those of you who have been thinking about my bum for the past week.
1:52.2	I'm good.
