| 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 |

| 1:28.9 | is upstairs doing something. And I'm just preparing the podcast for 2025. Today, we're going to talk |
| 1:35.4 | about the cost of functional nutrition or functional medicine. I'll kind of use those two words |
