Episode 326: Has Functional Medicine Created More Problems Than Solutions?
Inflammatory title? Totally. In this think piece, Erin discusses the drawbacks, red flags and potential issues with certain functional medicine philosophies. She's getting honest with caveats to consider with functional lab testing — including how both the placebo and nocebo effects can play a role in a patient's healing process. This episode is not only geared for practitioners who are practicing functional medicine and analyzing lab tests, but also for the client on the receiving end.
Episode 325: How to Get Hired as a Functional Medicine Practitioner
In a recent Instagram poll, Erin saw that 70% of practitioners want to run their own practice, while 30% do not. This week, Erin speaks to the 30% of practitioners who are looking to work for another company and offers some pointers from her perspective as someone in a position to hire. While credentials matter, being able to apply what you’ve learned and having the skillset to help your clients is non-negotiable. Leave this episode with tangible steps to approach a practice you'd like to work for.
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 309: IMPACT: A Non-Traditional Way to Build a Business
After launching podcast episode 307: Starting a Business from Scratch, Erin received a lot of questions about how she’s grown her successful multi-seven figure business in a way that’s not only highly profitable, but also deeply fulfilling.
This podcast is a live recording from the Manifest Your Wealth private group where Erin answers questions about her new program IMPACT. This program sheds light on how Erin grows a simple idea into a full blown program in a very non-traditional way - by using energy and a whole lot of self trust.
Big things coming soon! Manifest Your Wealth re-opens May 1st and IMPACT starts May 7th!

Erin brings Rachel, the Lead Practitioner for Team FN and Lead Clinical Mentor of the Funk’tional Nutrition Academy, on this episode to discuss the popular TikTok and Instagram trend- The Sleepy Girl Mocktail. Surprisingly, not all trends are bad and this is one we can get behind! You’ll learn why magnesium is important, how common deficiencies are (and why!) and ways to increase your magnesium levels through supplementation and topicals. Rachel dives into the newest functional lab test we’ve introduced to our 1:1 Membership- the HTMA test, and shares how it can be an effective and affordable way to find lifestyle and nutrition recommendations for her patients. This is a great episode for both clients and practitioners alike!

Episode 307: Starting a Business from Scratch
Erin answers the question, “If you had to start a business from scratch, what would be the first three things you would prioritize?” Erin covers the basic, more tangible topics, like starting an email list, networking with your existing community and getting confident speaking about what you offer. She also dives into more unpopular opinions, like getting started before you have everything perfect and avoiding niching down at the start.

Episode 306: Lab Interpretation Case Study: OAT, HTMA & DUTCH Test
We’ve spoken about the importance of clinical mentorship, but we’ve never given a sneak peek of what that looks like within the Funk’tional Nutrition Academy until today!
In this lab review session, Rachel Mistry, our Lead Practitioner at Team FN, supports an FNA student through analyzing functional lab tests whilst also taking into consideration the experiences and lifestyle of the patient. This case study reiterates our belief that treatment requires a whole body approach and is not one-size-fits-all.
