Throughout this episode you’ll hear thought-provoking questions designed to help you assess the impact of busyness on you and those around you — and alternatives for a more positive effect.

| 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. |
| 0:13.1 | 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. |
| 0:26.9 | I've got a bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional health care model that are both |

| 1:36.7 | I think it's funny because even people who aren't parents or teachers are like, this is a busy |
| 1:42.1 | time of year. It's this transition into fall, which can sometimes create a little chaos for us. |
