Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt. I'm an integrative and

functional medicine nutritionist with a feisty attitude in well over a decade of clinical experience.

I work with women all over the world through my online programs. And I'm also the founder of

the Functional Nutrition Academy, a school in practitioner mentorship

where we help other clinicians level up with functional medicine methodologies. I've got a bone

failing so many of us. Creating a new model is my life's work, and this is what this show's all about.

Please keep in mind, this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should never

today, I would love for you to subscribe to the show, leave a review in iTunes, share with

Now give me the mic so I can take it away.

body. I had been really nervous to talk about that publicly anywhere. But it was this moment of effort. I just need to

show people what's possible. And in the episode, it's kind of funny, in the episode two years ago,

I mentioned that I was birthing a new body of work, but I also recognized that I wasn't totally

ready to talk about it yet.

I joked that I was writing an album. And then exactly two years later, pretty much to the week,
