Episode 323: Be Your Own Health Expert & the Body-Belief Connection | Balanced Bites Podcast Interview
This episode is unlike any other we’ve ever released. Rather than Erin interviewing a guest… SHE is the one being interviewed! This interview on Liz Wolfe’s Balanced Bites Podcast was such a banger, we couldn’t resist sharing it with our audience.
Hear Erin talk about her experience with a serious autoimmune disease diagnosis (and remission), where functional medicine can miss the mark, how to self-source your healing, and how your body is always trying to keep you safe - even when things may seem to be going “wrong”.
Episode 322: #1 Way to Shift Your Energy NOW | Manifest Your Health Series
This week, Erin discusses how we can live in a hamster wheel of the same limited (usually negative) thoughts and beliefs day after day while wondering why nothing has changed. In order to live your biggest dreams (the ones you deserve, by the way), it’s important to start looking at and acknowledging the things that are working in your life. Erin leaves you with specific practices to help shift your energy into a healing frequency — immediately.
In our Manifest Your Health™ mini series, Erin continues to offer up new ways to think about your health. You'll walk away with perspective shifts to help you view your own healing potential!
Episode 321: Neurobiology of Chronic Conditions | Manifest Your Health Series
Erin dives into the neurobiology behind chronic conditions like Long Covid, Epstein Barr virus, mold, and chemical sensitivities (so many more). The original infection can go away but the brain may still correlate those symptoms to the previous infection. Previously neutral symptoms like feeling tired or having a stomach ache can now communicate “I am still sick” to the mind and start a cascade of immune responses in the body. Learn different tools to calm down your nervous system so that you can begin to rewire your brain to look at the ways in which your body IS working.

Episode 320: Subconscious Mind’s Role in Healing Your Gut | Manifest Your Health Series
What if I told you the same programming that got you sick can also help you heal? In this episode, we dive into how our bodies and minds are always trying to keep us safe and how, at times, a belief that was once helpful may need to be updated. Learn how and why those with adverse childhood experiences (or ACEs) and trauma are more likely to experience chronic digestive, gut and health challenges and discover tangible resources to help shift from chronic stress into a rest and digest state. By getting out of the fear-based loop, you can change your biology (and use it to heal!)

Episode 317: Chronic Inflammation, Neuroplasticity & Your Healing Potential | Manifest Your Health Series

Episode 298: Where Science Meets the Sacred
Here at TFN, we practice the Intuitive Functional Medicine™ model, meaning we utilize evidence-based practices… AND we also believe that YOU get to be the evidence. Because REAL power comes when we can use research, science and external data points, and allow that to coalesce with the sacred wisdom of our bodies. But what does that look like? And how do we get there? That’s what today’s episode is all about. Erin gets into the deep inner work that is an often overlooked, but very necessary, part of the healing process.
This is another sneak peek into The Funk’tional Nutrition Collective… before enrollment closes on 2/9!!
Episode 267: It’s Not Always Your Mind (But Sometimes It Is)
Did you know that recurring or “chronic” symptoms are actually “neuroplastic” or hardwired into the brain and nervous system? When symptoms are chronic and hardwired, the solutions are no longer ONLY physical. Since chronic symptoms have a mind and nervous system component, it’s imperative that we address them from a mind and nervous system perspective, too.
Tune into today’s discussion on the importance of respecting the mental, emotional, and energetic aspects of the body, how to do so without bypassing what's happening at the physical level, and why fixating on one path or another can cause missed opportunities for full healing.
Episode 264: Quantum Biology & Our Health with Dr. Catherine Clinton
Words like “frequency” and “vibration” come up a lot in the wellness world, but what do they actually mean? Advancements in science are allowing us to now see the nano-sized interactions between our biology and the light, sound, and electricity around us. With this information, we’re just starting to understand the impact that the universe has on our very biology.
In today’s episode, Erin sits down with Dr. Catherine Clinton to discuss the ins and outs of quantum biology, the electrical charges in our cells and the world around us, and how this information can inform healing. This conversation breaks down a complex field into a graspable concept, and gives listeners action steps to support their bodies at a quantum level.
Dr. Catherine Clinton has spent over 15 years helping people overcome their health issues. Diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions and Lyme disease while in medical school, she began the long and difficult journey of healing- a path that led to the commitment to help others to not only heal physically but to return to the relationships we evolved over millennia with for a deeper sense of health and belonging.
By healing herself and patients like her, she discovered that true health comes from our relationships. Dr. Catherine has learned how our quantum biological system is intimately and inseparably connected to the world around us. Our relationship with the dirt beneath our feet, the sun, the wind, the water, the plants, the seasons, each other- that is the real medicine.
Her mission is to empower as many people as she can with this knowledge to encourage the paradigm shift we so desperately need.
Episode 263: How to Listen to Your Intuition
Living happy, healthy, and fulfilled lives requires us to understand and be in touch with our inner wisdom. Yet most people are not taught how to access their intuition–instead, the message from society and the conventional healthcare system is often that you SHOULDN’T trust yourself.
In today’s conversation, Erin gets into the whats, whys, and hows of intuition, and how it has proven time and time again to be the best guide in her health, life, relationships…and even business. Listeners will walk away with a definition of intuition, an understanding of why most of us struggle to access or trust our inner guidance, and some action steps for how to start listening to our intuition.
Episode 262: The Lymphatic System: A Whole Body Approach to Healing with Dr. Perry Nickelston
Overcoming chronic pain requires an understanding of how different parts of the body (and the mind) influence each other in the healing process. Today’s podcast guest, Dr. Perry Nickelston, focuses on healing chronic pain and inflammation via the lymphatic and vascular systems. What this conversation emphasizes, however, is the fact that nothing heals in isolation.
Erin and Dr. Perry delve into why blood flow and lymphatic health are essential for the health of the rest of the brain/body (and visa versa), the importance of the vagus nerve, diaphragmatic breathing and how it keeps the lymphatic system pumping efficiently, the lymph and brain health, and more.

Episode 261: The Shoulds & Shames of Weight Loss | Legacy Series
When it comes to weight, body image, and our intentions surrounding it, women often receive messaging that promotes weight loss as salvation AND anti-diet messages that promote body acceptance as the only way. These black and white messages create fragmentation within ourselves and shame surrounding whichever direction we lean.
It’s not wrong to have a body image goal, but in order to achieve sustainable change, health and wellbeing, it’s necessary to understand the “why” behind these goals first. Today on the show Erin taps into these “whys” to really get to the root of our body intentions and offers up questions to uncover our own belief patterns.
Episode 258: Using Manifestation to Heal Your Body
Our minds are one of the most powerful factors in healing–our thoughts and beliefs can make us well, and they can make us unwell. Understanding how your brain is hardwired and learning to believe in the possibility of change can be the key to accessing healing.
Today’s episode puts the tool of manifestation on the table to show what’s possible when healing the body.
