Sometimes you go looking for that one cutting-edge clinical pearl, and what you actually get is a full body reminder of why this work matters.
After taking the TFN team to the IFM conference in San Diego, Erin is sharing her honest reflections and biggest takeaways, including the conversations that made her feel like functional medicine is moving in a hopeful direction.
She gets into GLP-1 tapering, preconception care, women’s health, emotional regulation, practitioner burnout, and community as medicine. Plus, emotional wellness is FINALLY entering the chat!
P.S. Applications for the fall cohort of the Functional Nutrition Academy open soon! Join the waitlist.
In this episode:
Why the IFM conference reinvigorated Erin, even if the curriculum wasn’t what she expected
Seeing Dr. Terry Wahls in person, and why she was an OG expander for Erin’s autoimmune healing
How GLP-1s may not have to be “forever drugs” when tapering and satiety signals are used skillfully
