| 0:00.0 | I'm Erin Holt, and this is the Functional Nutrition Podcast, where we lean into intuitive |
| 0:07.2 | functional medicine. We look at how diet, our environment, our emotions, and our beliefs |
| 0:12.5 | all affect our physical health. This podcast is your full-bodied, well-rounded resource. |
| 0:18.7 | I've got over a decade of clinical experience, and because of that, |
| 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 |

| 1:04.4 | because you never know whose life you might change. |
| 1:06.7 | And of course, keep coming back for more. |
| 1:12.6 | Hello, friends. |
| 1:13.6 | A couple of weeks ago, I released part of an FNA coaching call where somebody asked a question |
| 1:21.7 | and I answered the question, part of the functional nutrition academy. |
| 1:25.2 | And I got some really great feedback from that. |
| 1:27.9 | A lot of you reached out to say you really love that episode. |
| 1:30.4 | So we went ahead and gathered up another one for you. |
