  How I’m Training for Perimenopause as a 42-Year-Old Woman with No Symptoms | Ep 422 18.08.2026 54min

  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. Erin’s 2-day masterclass, Her Body Keeps the Score, is happening August 26th and 27th.

  How To Build a Business with Staying Power in a Trust Recession with Erin Holt | Ep 421 11.08.2026 51min

  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?

  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.

  The Acid Reflux Episode: GERD, H. Pylori & the Root Cause Deep Dive | Ep 418 21.07.2026 41min

  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.

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.

  Healing Timeline: Expectation vs. Reality | Ep 415 23.06.2026 39min

  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 methodResources mentioned:Apply to work with us 1:1 here.Experiencing symptoms?

  PCOS Got a Glow Up (And What PMOS Means for Women’s Health) | Ep 414 16.06.2026 31min

  PCOS just got a glow up. This wildly misunderstood condition affects 1 in 8 women and 170 million women worldwide, and has officially been renamed PMOS: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. In this episode, Erin is joined by TFN lead practitioner Rachel Heintz, MS, RDN, IFMCP, FHP-C, to talk about why this name change matters.Rachel breaks down why the old PCOS label created so much confusion, and how PMOS can impact metabolism, blood sugar, cardiovascular health, skin, fertility, mental health, and more. This is a whole-human conversation about a whole-body condition, because women are more than “just hormones walking around,” and this condition was never just about the ovaries.In this episode:Why PCOS was renamed PMOS, and how the new name reflects what’s actually happening in the bodyThe four PMOS archetypes Rachel sees most often: insulin-resistant, inflammatory, adrenal, and post-pillHow perfume, dryer sheets, and what’s under your kitchen sink can all matter for endocrine healthThe fertility case study that had surprisingly little to do with the ovaries themselvesResources mentioned:Apply to work with us 1:1 here.Experiencing symptoms?

  The Neuroscience of Reality: Why Change Doesn’t Always Stick | Ep 412 02.06.2026 35min

  A physical transformation doesn’t automatically change the story you’re living inside. You can lose the weight, change the labs, clear the symptoms, hit the goal… and still feel like the same OG version of yourself. In this solo episode, Erin is talking about the “neuroscience of reality” – how your brain uses old beliefs, past experiences, and predictive patterns to construct what you see, how you feel, and what you think is possible for you.This episode is all about self-sabotage. Erin explains how the brain filters millions of pieces of information down to a tiny fraction of conscious awareness, and how understanding this can create a massive amount of compassion for yourself in the healing process.P.S. The Manifest Your Health app was built to support this exact process! Join today.In this episode:The question Erin asks when she looks at labs: what did this person have to sacrifice, silence, or over-function through to get here?Why healing can start to feel like a hamster wheel when you’re only working with one “fractal” of yourselfHow Erin’s eating disorder recovery and autoimmune diagnosis deepened her understanding of self-attack biologyWhy the 1970 kitten study explains “behavioral blindness” and how your brain can filter out parts of realityResources 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.Subscribe to Erin’s Substack for a no-nonsense space about health, entrepreneurship, and manifestation.Apply to work with us 1:1 here.FOR OUR FULL LIST OF LINKS + RESOURCES, HEAD TO:https://www.thefunktionalnutritionist.com/podcast/412-neuroscienceCheck out The Funk’tional Nutritionist: Website | InstagramOrganifi Supplement Powder (save 20% on your order with code FUNK)LMNT Electrolyte Replenishing Powder (Use code FUNK and get a free sample pack with any purchase!)OneSkin (Use code FUNK for 15% off your first purchase)Qualia Creatine (get up to 50% off and an extra 15% off your first purchase with link + code FUNKS)Bon Charge (Use code FUNK to save 15%)

  The GLP-1 Follow-Up: Side Effects, Microdosing & Ozempic Culture | Ep 411 26.05.2026 47min

  Ozempic culture is officially here, and after last week’s GLP-1 episode with Jessica Brown, Erin has more to say.This time, she’s getting into the side effects practitioners are seeing and the “microdosing” marketing language that’s gotten wildly out of hand. Erin talks about the difference between using GLP-1s skillfully vs. going a little willy nilly with telehealth prescriptions, and people chasing quick weight loss without understanding what’s happening physiologically.This is an important “part 2” conversation around why these medications can be an incredibly effective tool… while still requiring education, self-awareness, support, and a whole lot more nuance than the internet shows.In this episode:Why Erin thinks we’re wildly underprepared to use GLP-1s correctlyWhat “Ozempic culture” gets right… and where the conversation completely misses the mark“Food as skinny vs. food as fuel” and why micronutrients matter more than ever if you’re on a GLP-1How Erin’s client used tirzepatide without jumping to higher and higher dosesThe GLP-1 side effects Erin is seeing most often, including SIBO flares and refluxResources 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.Subscribe to Erin’s Substack for a no-nonsense space about health, entrepreneurship, and manifestation.Apply to work with us 1:1 here.Episode 410: GLP-1s Are Not Just About Weight Loss with Jessica BrownFOR OUR FULL LIST OF LINKS + RESOURCES, HEAD TO:https://www.thefunktionalnutritionist.com/podcast/411-glp-1-followupCheck out The Funk’tional Nutritionist: Website | InstagramOrganifi Supplement Powder (save 20% on your order with code FUNK)OneSkin (Use code FUNK for 15% off your first purchase)Bon Charge (Use code FUNK to save 15%)

  Oh boy… Erin is FINALLY having an unfiltered GLP-1 conversation with the person she wanted to have it with first: Jessica Brown, a clinical nutritionist, Stanford-trained teacher, founder of the GLP-1 Nutrition Academy, author of The Loving Diet and Beyond the Shot, and one of Erin’s longtime mentors.This is not a “GLP-1s are good” or “GLP-1s are bad” episode. It’s the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide, what “microdosing” means, and why these medications are being studied for so much more than weight loss. Erin and Jessica also talk about identity, worthiness, body positivity, and the role of social media influencers when it comes to GLP-1s.In this episode:Why Jessica believes GLP-1s could become one of the biggest disruptions in modern healthcareErin’s thoughts on influencers, GLP-1s, and the pressure to maintain a certain identity onlineHow AI is impacting lab analysis and why consciousness matters (it’s AI-proof!)Why GLP-1s are not powerful enough to change your beliefs about worthiness and identityWhat practitioners NEED to know as GLP-1s and metabolic health reshape the future of functional medicineResources 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.Subscribe to Erin’s Substack for a no-nonsense space about health, entrepreneurship, and manifestation.Apply to work with us 1:1 here.Learn more about Jessica on her website, The Loving Diet.Check out Jessica’s bestselling books, Beyond the Shot and The Loving Diet.FOR OUR FULL LIST OF LINKS + RESOURCES, HEAD TO:https://www.thefunktionalnutritionist.com/podcast/410-glp-1Check out The Funk’tional Nutritionist: Website | InstagramOrganifi Supplement Powder (save 20% on your order with code FUNK)LMNT Electrolyte Replenishing Powder (Use code FUNK and get a free sample pack with any purchase!)OneSkin (Use code FUNK for 15% off your first purchase)Bon Charge (Use code FUNK to save 15%)

  If you feel like you’ve done EVERYTHING to support your fertility journey, cleaned up your diet, worked on your gut health, taken all the supplements, tracked alllll the things and you’re still not pregnant… this episode will speak to you.Erin and TFN Practitioner Nicole Antes are walking through a fertility case study for a client who came to them after trying to conceive for a year with a 16+ supplement routine that wasn’t necessarily supporting her body in the way it needed.Together, they get into the downstream effects of overly aggressive gut protocols, hyper-fixation, nervous system regulation, and how easy it can be for TTC to feel like a full-time job. There were some subtle shifts that helped this client finally move the needle and get a positive pregnancy test!In this episode:The role of methylation, mitochondrial health, and antioxidant support in egg quality and embryo developmentWhy herbal antimicrobials can sometimes “kill the good guys” after aggressive gut protocolsHow Dad’s health influences a healthy fertility journey, and how sperm quality can shift within 3-6 monthsWhy taking a month off from tracking could be the most supportive nervous system shiftThe surprising thing this client did before finally getting a positive pregnancy testResources mentioned:Real Food For Fertility by Lily Nichols and Lisa Hendrickson-Jack (see Chapter 9!)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.Subscribe to Erin’s Substack for a no-nonsense space about health, entrepreneurship, and manifestation.Apply to work with us 1:1 here.FOR OUR FULL LIST OF LINKS + RESOURCES, HEAD TO:https://www.thefunktionalnutritionist.com/podcast/409-fertilityCheck out The Funk’tional Nutritionist: Website | InstagramOrganifi Supplement Powder (save 20% on your order with code FUNK)OneSkin (Use code FUNK for 15% off your first purchase)Bon Charge (Use code FUNK to save 15%)

  What Is Intuitive Functional Medicine (And Why It Changes Everything) | Ep 408 05.05.2026 1godz 7min

  There’s a version of functional medicine that works, and then there’s the version that leaves people with a stack of labs, a cabinet full of supplements, and a whole lot of confusion. In this conversation, Erin is joining holistic nutritionist Ali Shapiro on the Truce with Food podcast to get candid about the difference, what she’s seeing in her own practice, and why things have gotten a little “wonky” in the wellness space.Erin gets into the trenches of how her work has shifted, why she’s no longer looking at the physical body in isolation, and what happens when you bring the nervous system, your patterns, and your lived experience into the room.P.S. The special $49/month founder’s rate for the Manifest Your Health membership ends THIS week!In this episode:Erin’s definition of intuitive functional medicine, and why it’s not about choosing between the body, mind, or nervous systemHow to self-source and trust your own body vs. outsourcing to expertsWhy more data (labs, trackers, testing) isn’t always better, and how it can disconnect you from your bodyThe “and both” approach to health and why this is where real transformation happensWhat it looks like to work with a practitioner who co-pilots with youResources mentioned:Manifest Your Health is officially open!

  You Can’t Manifest Your Way Out of a Dysregulated Nervous System | Ep 406 21.04.2026 33min

  Let’s talk about manifestation, but not in a vision boards and affirmations kinda way. In this episode, Erin is diving into three of her favorite topics: manifestation, the subconscious mind, and the nervous system, and how they’re ALL deeply connected when it comes to your health.Did you know that 90-95% of what you experience as “reality” is shaped by subconscious patterns? Your subconscious mind is constantly scanning for evidence of what you already believe, which influences how you think, feel, and respond on a daily basis. And all of this is the foundation behind the Manifest Your Health app, which launches on April 27th.In this episode:The moment Erin’s nervous system shut down before a mastermind and how she rewired it How your perception of safety directly impacts digestion, immune function, and emotional regulationWhy your body already knows how to heal and what might be blocking you from accessing itHow visceral hypersensitivity turns normal sensations into pain (and why that matters beyond IBS)How to expand what your brain allows you to see so you can access more opportunity and possibilityResources mentioned:The doors for Manifest Your Health open on April 27th.
