Episode 334: Circadian Rhythm Support for Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time is a challenging transition for many of us. Circadian rhythm disruption is one of the major contributors to hormonal imbalance and is very common in our modern-day lifestyle, making recovery from Daylight Saving Time even more difficult. Learn more about the importance of supporting your circadian rhythm and how to do so through lifestyle changes and hacks.
While it’s normal to experience some level of fatigue after Daylight Saving Time or a time change, if you’re constantly exhausted, feeling burnt out, or generally depleted, this may indicate that something deeper is going on. We have spots open in our 1:1 membership and would love to see your application!
Episode 316: Microbiome, Metabolic Health & GLP-1 with Colleen Cutcliffe
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! Learn more about how GLP-1 works to increase satiety, curb cravings. We're also discussing how probiotics help to support overall metabolic health.

Episode 315: Supporting Your Metabolism with Liz Wolfe
This week, Erin welcomes back one of her first ever “regulars”, Liz Wolfe, to discuss all things metabolism, especially as it pertains to women in their 40s.

Grab your DUTCH test and your headphones because this episode is a companion guide to your test, specifically the estrogen section. Learn the symptoms of estrogen dominance, how excessive estrogen can lead to diseases like PCOS and endometriosis, and why estrogen dominance is so common in this day and age.

Never underestimate the importance of regular bowel movements.
Episode 311: Supporting Your Hormones with Food & Nutrition
Food can be medicine, especially when it comes to balancing your hormones. In this episode, you'll learn how to make simple and effective shifts to your nutrition for hormonal health. We're talking about caffeine intake, seed cycling, detox, and minerals. While we love a good functional lab test here at Team FN, you really can (and should!) move the needle with your hormone health just by starting with the basics - food!
Episode 310: Ways to Naturally Increase Progesterone
Progesterone has always been an unsung hero in our eyes, but now it’s getting its time in the sun - which is a good thing! Progesterone is super important for mood regulation, brain clarity, and thyroid health. That being said, it’s a very common hormone imbalance and the conventional solution is to treat with synthetic Progestin. At Team FN, we start with a root cause approach. Today we’re going to talk about WHY low progesterone is so common, how to identify if you have it, and what you can do about it.
Episode 294: 3 Changes I Made to Regulate My Appetite

Today, Erin unpacks some of the science and psychology of appetite regulation, and shares 3 major changes she made to her diet and lifestyle in order to find balance and satiety.
