Episode 151: How to Determine the Right Amount of Sugar for You
Blood sugar regulation is one of the most, if not THE most, important thing to consider when setting out to improve your health. Whether your end-goal is improved adrenal health, thyroid health, hormone balance, weight loss, brain health or increased energy...if you have dysregulated blood sugar, you can’t achieve any of those goals. This is often the first thing Erin addresses with clients in her 1:1 practice, and is THE reason she created her 4-week plan to determine your body's unique carbohydrate needs and end the carb confusion - The Carb Compatibility Project™. This episode is part one of a two-parter from Instagram Live all about blood sugar and how you can begin to tap into your own authority to determine your unique carbohydrate and sugar needs.

Listen in to hear the breakdown on who this CGM is good for, who it’s NOT good for, and how it can be a beneficial step to help some who are looking to take their established health behaviors to the next level.
Episode 135: Intermittent Fasting - Who it's For, Who it's Not For
Can intermittent fasting be a therapeutic tool? Rich with content and resources, this episode is an extensive, deep dive into intermittent fasting, metabolic dysfunction and how you can assess whether IF is right for you based on your unique context.
This episode is perfect for anyone who is fasting-curious, anyone who’s interested in IF or currently trying IF. I dissect who should try it, in what situations is it therapeutic and why, potential benefits, contraindications, whether it works for women’s bodies and the debate over if it’s just another diet culture tool. Have a listen and be sure to share this episode with anyone in your life who has type II diabetes, high insulin, prediabetes, insulin-resistance, metabolic resistance, high blood sugar, anyone going through menopause, or post-menopause.

Episode 117: Ayurveda, Transformation & Weight Loss with Neha Premjee
Ever feel like your body is working against you no matter what you do? Ayurvedic health and weight loss expert Neha Premjee joins me for a healing conversation that I think so many can benefit from. She talks about her 70 pound weight loss journey and what she learned, details how to use Ayurveda as a way to decode and understand your own body (for weight loss, chronic illness, & more), and breaks down how Ayurveda gives you a framework to begin healing from within. Find out more about this ancient science and why in order to truly transform, something inside YOU needs to shift.
Episode 108: Conversations Around Weight Loss with Lucia Hawley
In this episode I’m interviewing with Lucia Hawley, who is a functional nutritional therapy practitioner with a master’s degree in Social Work and Clinical Mental Health. She teaches overwhelmed women how to stop dieting, lose weight for life, and to master their minds instead of counting one more point calorie or macro. Listen in as we discuss topics all related to not only how our bodies work, but how and why our bodies, minds, and spirits were created to radically coexist.

Episode 65: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Weight Loss
Today I dive deep into the mix-up between weight loss and health gain, and how that’s not always the way it plays out (quite often, it’s actually not) but it’s a societal belief and the story we hear over and over. This is really a two-part discussion and I highly recommend listening to episode 64 which is Part 1 of this topic if you haven’t done already!

Episode 55: How to Tell if Your Blood Sugar is a Problem
Talking about blood sugar isn’t exactly sexy or glamorous. It’s for sure not winning any clickbait awards.
But blood sugar regulation is arguably one of the most important things to consider when we’re trying to put together an owner’s manual for our own healthy bodies.
The truth is that most people don’t realize just how much unstable blood sugar impacts their health -- everything from hormonal balance to thyroid function to inflammation to brain health.
Just like Ron Burgundy, blood sugar is kind of a big deal.

Are white potatoes unhealthy? Is brown rice hard to digest? and How many carbs do you really need?
