    How I’m Training for Perimenopause as a 42-Year-Old Woman with No Symptoms | Ep 422

    Perimenopause is having a moment. Despite what you see on social media, not every symptom you experience in your late 30s or early 40s is automatically due to perimenopause. Erin gets into the four areas she’s been personally focused on for the past few years: mindset, muscles and metabolic health, labs, and inner work. She also talks about why cardiovascular health needs to become a much bigger part of the peri conversation and why getting your thyroid checked is not a one-and-done situation. Consider this your no fear mongering take on perimenopause with plenty of tough love, a little sacred rage, and a reminder that your body is not a liability to be managed. P.S.

    How To Build a Business with Staying Power in a Trust Recession with Erin Holt | Ep 421

    This was supposed to be a 15-20 minute episode. Turns out Erin has a LOT to say about it. Today, Erin is giving you a sneaky peek behind the numbers at The Funk’tional Nutritionist, and what those numbers reveal about building a business with real staying power. She breaks down what it means to build trust as an actual business asset, especially in a market where people are tired of clickbait, overhyped promises, weird DM pitches, and wellness content that feels like nobody brought receipts. She also explores why consistency is such an unsung hero, why quick wins are not the same as staying power, and why watered-down content is watered-down medicine. Because more eyeballs do not automatically mean more clients, and being trustworthy might matter more than being everywhere. P.S. What is it actually like inside of FNA? Erin is teaching a 2-day masterclass for practitioners on how to support clients through a woman’s hormonal lifespan. Grab your ticket here! In this episode:Why Erin had to become a “numbers girly” and what % of 1:1 clients come from the podcastThe 3 questions long-form content gives people the chance to decideWhy hearing crickets, being misunderstood, and getting negative comments are part of being consistentWhat can quickly get sketchy if your message, offer, or identity is still all over the mapThe “C word” that Erin says matters more than any shiny marketing trend, and the power of referrals Resources mentioned: Applications for the Fall 2026 cohort of The Funk’tional Nutrition Academy are now open!

    When Physical Solutions Aren't Enough: The Nervous System Root of Chronic Illness | Ep 419

    Mindset work, subconscious healing, and brain rewiring are everywhere right now, and Erin is here for it. In this replay episode, Erin breaks down why healing is a both/and situation. Your mind, beliefs, nervous system, emotions, and energetic patterns matter big time, but so do labs, inflammation, hormones, gut health, and what’s happening on a physiological level. Erin shares real client examples, while talking about the fear loops, symptom stories, identity patterns, and emotional roots that can keep chronic symptoms stuck on repeat, and why sometimes the next layer of healing is not another protocol, but a completely new way of relating to your body. P.S. For less than $2 a day, you can completely rewire your body and health in the Manifest Your Health app. In this episode:Why some chronic symptoms become neuroplastic or hardwired into the brain and nervous systemHow pattern interrupts, brainwave states, self-compassion, shadow, and somatic release fit into Erin’s approachThe dangers of symptom-tracing Facebook groups, and how they can sneakily lock you into a “sick person” identityWhat practitioners need to understand before trying to lead clients through deeper mind-body healing work Resources mentioned: Manifest Your Health is our neuroscience backed membership designed to help you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and finally break out of the symptom loop.

    The Acid Reflux Episode: GERD, H. Pylori & the Root Cause Deep Dive | Ep 418

    If acid reflux keeps showing up, the answer isn’t always “too much acid” and it’s not always as simple as popping antacids either. In this replay episode, Erin breaks down what might actually be driving reflux, from the way digestion moves through the body to the little valve between your stomach and esophagus that can let acid sneak back up where it does not belong. She also gets into why stress, overeating, pregnancy, gut imbalances, bile, sleeping position, and even old emotional patterns can all be part of the picture. If you’ve been avoiding spaghetti sauce, waking up with burning in your chest, or wondering whether H. pylori is the reason for EVERYTHING, this episode will help you zoom out and look at the bigger digestive picture. P.S. Check out Erin’s FREE Digestive Guide to learn the real reasons behind low stomach acid. In this episode:What cocktails, coffee, chocolate, peppermint, overeating, pregnancy, and certain medications all have in commonThe “one-trick pony” problem with running a GI-MAP and calling it root cause careWhy acid-blocking drugs are meant for short-term use, and what happens when stomach acid gets suppressedWhy bitters are one of Erin’s favorite tools for getting digestive juices flowing (plus, the treatment strategies she recommends) Resources mentioned: Get Erin’s FREE Digestive Guide.

    What Is Chronic Inflammation? Root Causes, Lab Markers & How to Lower It (+ Case Studies) | Ep 417

    Erin is soaking up the Maine sun for a couple of weeks, so today we’re pulling a biggie out of the vault: an episode all about inflammation hunting. Yes, diet and lifestyle matter big time. But sometimes someone is doing “all the right things,” eating well, moving their body, taking care of themselves… and the math still isn’t mathing. Erin and TFN lead practitioner Rachel Heintz, MS, RDN, IFMCP, FHP-C, are breaking down what inflammation actually is, what symptoms and labs can raise red flags, and how they use deeper testing to figure out what’s keeping the immune system irritated and overwhelmed. They also get into gut health, blood sugar, gluten sensitivity, low beneficial bacteria, secretory IgA, calprotectin, cortisol, melatonin, mold, heavy metals, and why sometimes the answer is not a protocol. P.S. Applications are officially open for the Fall 2026 cohort of The Funk’tional Nutrition Academy, Erin’s 14-month practitioner training and mentorship. Apply now! In this episode:The blood work, GI-MAP, DUTCH, and OAT clues Erin and Rachel look at when inflammation is suspectedWhy Erin says the “basics” are not basic, and why skipping them can keep people stuck at 20% betterThe secretory IgA cycle that keeps people catching everything that goes aroundWhy eating more (not fasting harder!) was the missing piece for one client’s blood sugar, gut, and weightThe chronic UTI case study that shows why functional medicine is really about quality of life Resources mentioned: Applications for the Fall 2026 cohort of The Funk’tional Nutrition Academy are now open!

    Healing Timeline: Expectation vs. Reality | Ep 415

    After working with hundreds of 1:1 clients (and thousands across all of TFN's offerings), Erin has noticed some VERY predictable patterns in the healing process. And spoiler alert: healing rarely looks the way people think it's going to! What happens during "the dip" and why do so many people feel like quitting around months 3 and 4? Erin gets into the expectation vs. reality gap that keeps people stuck on the hamster wheel of healing, the nervous system patterns that surface when things start changing, and the difference between feeling “good enough” and feeling like a completely different human. If you're in a season where you're questioning your progress, doubting your body, or wondering if anything is ever going to work for you, this might be the episode you need most. In this episode:The dopamine hits that come from finally getting answers, labs, and a planWhy Erin doesn't want you to depend on practitioners, protocols, or wellness influencers foreverThe surprising reason clients start pushing their boundaries around months 7 and 8Why feeling amazing, overdoing it, and crashing can actually be a sign that your world is expanding (!)The importance of embodiment and why it’s a part of Erin’s C.A.R.E method Resources mentioned: Apply to work with us 1:1 here.
