Are you navigating mysterious gut issues, only to be told everything looks “normal”? Erin walks us through a real client case that sheds light on what standard GI testing often misses. After 20 years of stomach pain, bloating, rosacea, and food reactions, a functional stool analysis finally gave this woman answers.
Erin breaks down the six major findings from the client’s GI Map stool test, including H. pylori, low commensal bacteria, opportunistic overgrowths, low digestive enzymes, sky-high immune markers, and gluten reactivity. You’ll hear how each result connects to her symptoms and how traditional medicine overlooked all of it.
Erin also speaks candidly about why physical healing must be addressed alongside emotional and energetic work and what realistic healing timelines really look like when you're working with a functional provider.

0:00.0 | So let's talk about the things that we caught on this stool test that her other GI tests did not. |
0:08.0 | We need a backstory. |
0:09.2 | We need to know what she's experiencing, what she's eating, what she's tried in the past, |
0:13.5 | so that when I'm looking at the data, I can use it to explain what she's experiencing |
0:18.3 | or use it to say, hey, we might not have enough data with |
0:23.4 | this one lab and we might need to do more digging. When we don't have answers or explanations |
0:29.2 | for why you feel the way you do, we don't just stop. It's not just like a shrug emoji, |
0:34.0 | like, oh, weird. We keep digging. We keep going. We don't stop until we figure it out. |
0:38.9 | I'm Erin Holt, and this is the functional nutrition podcast where we lean into intuitive |
0:43.6 | functional medicine. We look at how diet, our environment, our emotions, and our beliefs all affect |
0:49.9 | our physical health. I've got over a decade of clinical experience, and because of that, |
0:54.8 | I've got a major bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional health care model. |
0:59.2 | This show is for you if you're looking for new ways of thinking about your health, |
1:03.0 | and you're ready to be an active participant in your own healing. |
1:06.3 | I would love for you to follow the show, rate, review, and share because you never know whose life you |
1:11.3 | might change. Hello, podcast buddies. We're back with another episode. My voice is still a little |
1:16.5 | sketch because of this cold that won't quit. Fluby, eye infection, ear infection, all the |
1:22.3 | things, all the tings. But I finally don't sound like Patty and Salma Bouvier anymore, so I feel like it's a |
1:29.7 | pretty solid improvement. So today I'm getting into a client case. This is a woman who has been |
1:36.6 | dealing with digestive issues in stomach pain on and off for 20 years, which is a long-ass time. |
1:43.2 | And she had been to different doctors and specialists and |
1:47.5 | really didn't have a lot of answers, solutions, or clarity, which is obviously very frustrating, |
