    Subconscious Mind's Role in Healing Your Gut | Ep 320

    Subconscious Mind's Role in Healing Your Gut | Ep 320

    What if I told you the same programming that got you sick can also help you heal? In this episode, we dive into how our bodies and minds are always trying to keep us safe and how, at times, a belief that was once helpful may need to be updated. Learn how and why those with adverse childhood experiences (or ACEs) and trauma are more likely to experience chronic digestive, gut and health challenges and discover tangible resources to help shift from chronic stress into a rest and digest state. By getting out of the fear-based loop, you can change your biology (and use it to heal!)
    In our Manifest Your Health™ mini series, Erin continues to offer up new ways to think about your health.  You'll walk away with perspective shifts to help you view your own healing potential!

    Microbiome, Metabolic Health & GLP-1 with Colleen Cutcliffe | Ep 316

    Erin doesn't typically have brands come on the show to promote their products, but we're such a BIG fan of Pendulum at Team FN that we couldn't resist!

This episode is for you if you're interested in learning more about GLP-1, your metabolism or gut health. OR if you're a practitioner who utilizes probiotics — or works with metabolic health — in your practice.

Prior to starting Pendulum, Colleen was the Senior Manager of Biology at Pacific Biosciences and a Scientist at Elan Pharmaceuticals.
