The Funk'tional Nutrition Podcast

FNA graduate Alyssa Chavez had been trying to conceive for eight years. She had stage four endometriosis, debilitating periods, two rounds of IVF, a miscarriage, low AMH, and doctors telling her IVF was basically her only shot. But somewhere inside her, there was still this knowing: there has to be more than this. In this episode, Erin sits down with Alyssa, to talk about the functional approach that helped her finally move the needle in her own body. Alyssa shares how learning to understand her gut, inflammation, immune system, environment, hormones, and bio-individual needs helped her go from painful periods and infertility to conceiving her baby girl naturally the SAME month she graduated from FNA! Erin and Alyssa also talk about the bigger ripple effects of addressing your health, and how FNA helped her build a business on her own terms. In this episode: How bloating, bowel changes, gut health, inflammation, and immune function became key pieces of Alyssa’s endometriosis puzzle Why 14 months is not “too long” if you’re learning to practice real holistic care How bio-individuality applies to your body, your clients, and the way you build your business What Erin means when she says her work is about “storying people into possibility” Why comprehensive, whole-person care matters even more in an era of AI-generated health advice Resources mentioned: EnrollmentApplications for the Fall 2026 cohort of The Funk’tional Nutrition Academy isare now open!

It’s no secret that stepping out of your typical day-to-day routine can be so expansive and help you realize how much possibility exists. It’s one thing to have the breakthrough, but it’s another thing entirely to bring that expanded identity back into your actual life, schedule, relationships, and nervous system. In this episode, Erin talks about “default mode” and how the story you tell yourself about yourself can become the identity you keep living from. This is a conversation about identity, healing, nervous system safety, parts integration, and the hardwired stories we keep reenacting without realizing it. Erin also shares a snippet from Manifest Your Health on rewriting your inner narrative, because action is what crystallizes change. In this episode: How big clarity can drop in on vacation, retreat, or in a pattern interrupt, and then disappear when you return to real life The one question Erin asks herself every time when anchoring into a new identity How the brain uses old memories, beliefs, and predictions to keep recreating the same reality Why new experiences, new choices, and new inputs help your brain create a different default Resources mentioned: Manifest Your Health is the neuroscience-backed membership that helps you regulate your nervous system, integrate the parts of you that keep you stuck, and become the version of yourself your body can actually heal as.

What labs should you actually be getting? Everyone and their mom is aware of the fact that we need a liiittle more data on our bodies, and we have the availability to get it. In this episode, Erin gives you a complete deep dive through the labs she thinks EVERY woman should ask for, as well as the markers that often get skipped. Erin also covers cardiovascular and menopause risks, fasting glucose, and the functional labs her team uses most often in practice, including the GI-MAP stool test, DUTCH hormone testing, Wheat Zoomer, and toxin testing, plus when each one might make sense. If you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or anywhere near perimenopause, this is your reminder to get the data, understand the data, and use it to take action. P.S.

Perimenopause is having a moment. Despite what you see on social media, not every symptom you experience in your late 30s or early 40s is automatically due to perimenopause. Erin gets into the four areas she’s been personally focused on for the past few years: mindset, muscles and metabolic health, labs, and inner work. She also talks about why cardiovascular health needs to become a much bigger part of the peri conversation and why getting your thyroid checked is not a one-and-done situation. Consider this your no fear mongering take on perimenopause with plenty of tough love, a little sacred rage, and a reminder that your body is not a liability to be managed. P.S.

This was supposed to be a 15-20 minute episode. Turns out Erin has a LOT to say about it. Today, Erin is giving you a sneaky peek behind the numbers at The Funk’tional Nutritionist, and what those numbers reveal about building a business with real staying power. She breaks down what it means to build trust as an actual business asset, especially in a market where people are tired of clickbait, overhyped promises, weird DM pitches, and wellness content that feels like nobody brought receipts. She also explores why consistency is such an unsung hero, why quick wins are not the same as staying power, and why watered-down content is watered-down medicine. Because more eyeballs do not automatically mean more clients, and being trustworthy might matter more than being everywhere. P.S. What is it actually like inside of FNA?

In this episode: Why Erin had to become a “numbers girly” and what % of 1:1 clients come from the podcast The 3 questions long-form content gives people the chance to decide Why hearing crickets, being misunderstood, and getting negative comments are part of being consistent What can quickly get sketchy if your message, offer, or identity is still all over the map The “C word” that Erin says matters more than any shiny marketing trend, and the power of referrals Resources mentioned: Applications for the Fall 2026 cohort of The Funk’tional Nutrition Academy are now open!

Mindset work, subconscious healing, and brain rewiring are everywhere right now, and Erin is here for it. In this replay episode, Erin breaks down why healing is a both/and situation. Your mind, beliefs, nervous system, emotions, and energetic patterns matter big time, but so do labs, inflammation, hormones, gut health, and what’s happening on a physiological level. Erin shares real client examples, while talking about the fear loops, symptom stories, identity patterns, and emotional roots that can keep chronic symptoms stuck on repeat, and why sometimes the next layer of healing is not another protocol, but a completely new way of relating to your body. P.S. For less than $2 a day, you can completely rewire your body and health in the Manifest Your Health app. In this episode: Why some chronic symptoms become neuroplastic or hardwired into the brain and nervous system How pattern interrupts, brainwave states, self-compassion, shadow, and somatic release fit into Erin’s approach The dangers of symptom-tracing Facebook groups, and how they can sneakily lock you into a “sick person” identity What practitioners need to understand before trying to lead clients through deeper mind-body healing work Resources mentioned: Manifest Your Health is our neuroscience backed membership designed to help you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and finally break out of the symptom loop.

If acid reflux keeps showing up, the answer isn’t always “too much acid” and it’s not always as simple as popping antacids either. In this replay episode, Erin breaks down what might actually be driving reflux, from the way digestion moves through the body to the little valve between your stomach and esophagus that can let acid sneak back up where it does not belong. She also gets into why stress, overeating, pregnancy, gut imbalances, bile, sleeping position, and even old emotional patterns can all be part of the picture. If you’ve been avoiding spaghetti sauce, waking up with burning in your chest, or wondering whether H. pylori is the reason for EVERYTHING, this episode will help you zoom out and look at the bigger digestive picture. P.S. Check out Erin’s FREE Digestive Guide to learn the real reasons behind low stomach acid.

Erin is soaking up the Maine sun for a couple of weeks, so today we’re pulling a biggie out of the vault: an episode all about inflammation hunting. Yes, diet and lifestyle matter big time. But sometimes someone is doing “all the right things,” eating well, moving their body, taking care of themselves… and the math still isn’t mathing. Erin and TFN lead practitioner Rachel Heintz, MS, RDN, IFMCP, FHP-C, are breaking down what inflammation actually is, what symptoms and labs can raise red flags, and how they use deeper testing to figure out what’s keeping the immune system irritated and overwhelmed. They also get into gut health, blood sugar, gluten sensitivity, low beneficial bacteria, secretory IgA, calprotectin, cortisol, melatonin, mold, heavy metals, and why sometimes the answer is not a protocol.

In this episode, Erin talks to psychic channel, medium, spiritual guide, teacher, and author Aycee Brown to get into allllll the tools: astrology, numerology, human design, mediumship, metaphysics, manifestation, intuition, and the ways they can help you come back to yourself.

After working with hundreds of 1:1 clients (and thousands across all of TFN's offerings), Erin has noticed some VERY predictable patterns in the healing process. And spoiler alert: healing rarely looks the way people think it's going to! What happens during "the dip" and why do so many people feel like quitting around months 3 and 4? Erin gets into the expectation vs. reality gap that keeps people stuck on the hamster wheel of healing, the nervous system patterns that surface when things start changing, and the difference between feeling “good enough” and feeling like a completely different human. If you're in a season where you're questioning your progress, doubting your body, or wondering if anything is ever going to work for you, this might be the episode you need most. In this episode: The dopamine hits that come from finally getting answers, labs, and a plan Why Erin doesn't want you to depend on practitioners, protocols, or wellness influencers forever The surprising reason clients start pushing their boundaries around months 7 and 8 Why feeling amazing, overdoing it, and crashing can actually be a sign that your world is expanding (!)

PCOS just got a glow up. This wildly misunderstood condition affects 1 in 8 women and 170 million women worldwide, and has officially been renamed PMOS: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. In this episode, Erin is joined by TFN lead practitioner Rachel Heintz, MS, RDN, IFMCP, FHP-C, to talk about why this name change matters. Rachel breaks down why the old PCOS label created so much confusion, and how PMOS can impact metabolism, blood sugar, cardiovascular health, skin, fertility, mental health, and more. This is a whole-human conversation about a whole-body condition, because women are more than “just hormones walking around,” and this condition was never just about the ovaries. In this episode: Why PCOS was renamed PMOS, and how the new name reflects what’s actually happening in the body The four PMOS archetypes Rachel sees most often: insulin-resistant, inflammatory, adrenal, and post-pill How perfume, dryer sheets, and what’s under your kitchen sink can all matter for endocrine health The fertility case study that had surprisingly little to do with the ovaries themselves Resources mentioned: Apply to work with us 1:1 here .

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.

A physical transformation doesn’t automatically change the story you’re living inside. You can lose the weight, change the labs, clear the symptoms, hit the goal… and still feel like the same OG version of yourself. In this solo episode, Erin is talking about the “neuroscience of reality” – how your brain uses old beliefs, past experiences, and predictive patterns to construct what you see, how you feel, and what you think is possible for you. This episode is all about self-sabotage. Erin explains how the brain filters millions of pieces of information down to a tiny fraction of conscious awareness, and how understanding this can create a massive amount of compassion for yourself in the healing process. P.S. The Manifest Your Health app was built to support this exact process! Join today. In this episode: The question Erin asks when she looks at labs: what did this person have to sacrifice, silence, or over-function through to get here? Why healing can start to feel like a hamster wheel when you’re only working with one “fractal” of yourself How Erin’s eating disorder recovery and autoimmune diagnosis deepened her understanding of self-attack biology Why the 1970 kitten study explains “behavioral blindness” and how your brain can filter out parts of reality Resources mentioned: Manifest Your Health is our neuroscience backed membership designed to help you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and finally break out of the symptom loop.

Ozempic culture is officially here, and after last week’s GLP-1 episode with Jessica Brown, Erin has more to say. This time, she’s getting into the side effects practitioners are seeing and the “microdosing” marketing language that’s gotten wildly out of hand. Erin talks about the difference between using GLP-1s skillfully vs. going a little willy nilly with telehealth prescriptions, and people chasing quick weight loss without understanding what’s happening physiologically. This is an important “part 2” conversation around why these medications can be an incredibly effective tool… while still requiring education, self-awareness, support, and a whole lot more nuance than the internet shows. In this episode: Why Erin thinks we’re wildly underprepared to use GLP-1s correctly What “Ozempic culture” gets right… and where the conversation completely misses the mark “Food as skinny vs. food as fuel” and why micronutrients matter more than ever if you’re on a GLP-1 How Erin’s client used tirzepatide without jumping to higher and higher doses The GLP-1 side effects Erin is seeing most often, including SIBO flares and reflux Resources mentioned: Manifest Your Health is our neuroscience backed membership designed to help you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and finally break out of the symptom loop.

Oh boy… Erin is FINALLY having an unfiltered GLP-1 conversation with the person she wanted to have it with first: Jessica Brown, a clinical nutritionist, Stanford-trained teacher, founder of the GLP-1 Nutrition Academy, author of The Loving Diet and Beyond the Shot, and one of Erin’s longtime mentors. This is not a “GLP-1s are good” or “GLP-1s are bad” episode. It’s the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide, what “microdosing” means, and why these medications are being studied for so much more than weight loss. Erin and Jessica also talk about identity, worthiness, body positivity, and the role of social media influencers when it comes to GLP-1s. In this episode: Why Jessica believes GLP-1s could become one of the biggest disruptions in modern healthcare Erin’s thoughts on influencers, GLP-1s, and the pressure to maintain a certain identity online How AI is impacting lab analysis and why consciousness matters (it’s AI-proof!) Why GLP-1s are not powerful enough to change your beliefs about worthiness and identity What practitioners NEED to know as GLP-1s and metabolic health reshape the future of functional medicine Resources mentioned: Manifest Your Health is our neuroscience backed membership designed to help you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and finally break out of the symptom loop.

If you feel like you’ve done EVERYTHING to support your fertility journey, cleaned up your diet, worked on your gut health, taken all the supplements, tracked alllll the things and you’re still not pregnant… this episode will speak to you. Erin and TFN Practitioner Nicole Antes are walking through a fertility case study for a client who came to them after trying to conceive for a year with a 16+ supplement routine that wasn’t necessarily supporting her body in the way it needed. Together, they get into the downstream effects of overly aggressive gut protocols, hyper-fixation, nervous system regulation, and how easy it can be for TTC to feel like a full-time job. There were some subtle shifts that helped this client finally move the needle and get a positive pregnancy test! In this episode: The role of methylation, mitochondrial health, and antioxidant support in egg quality and embryo development Why herbal antimicrobials can sometimes “kill the good guys” after aggressive gut protocols How Dad’s health influences a healthy fertility journey, and how sperm quality can shift within 3-6 months Why taking a month off from tracking could be the most supportive nervous system shift The surprising thing this client did before finally getting a positive pregnancy test Resources mentioned: Real Food For Fertility by Lily Nichols and Lisa Hendrickson-Jack (see Chapter 9!)

There’s a version of functional medicine that works, and then there’s the version that leaves people with a stack of labs, a cabinet full of supplements, and a whole lot of confusion. In this conversation, Erin is joining holistic nutritionist Ali Shapiro on the Truce with Food podcast to get candid about the difference, what she’s seeing in her own practice, and why things have gotten a little “wonky” in the wellness space. Erin gets into the trenches of how her work has shifted, why she’s no longer looking at the physical body in isolation, and what happens when you bring the nervous system, your patterns, and your lived experience into the room. P.S. The special $49/month founder’s rate for the Manifest Your Health membership ends THIS week! In this episode: Erin’s definition of intuitive functional medicine, and why it’s not about choosing between the body, mind, or nervous system How to self-source and trust your own body vs. outsourcing to experts Why more data (labs, trackers, testing) isn’t always better, and how it can disconnect you from your body The “and both” approach to health and why this is where real transformation happens What it looks like to work with a practitioner who co-pilots with you Resources mentioned: Manifest Your Health is officially open!

Transcending chronic symptoms, reclaiming your vitality, and no longer making your health your whole personality? That’s exactly what this episode is about. Erin is breaking down the five stages of healing, and the EXACT patterns her clients go through before they feel free in their bodies. Erin gets into the nocebo effect, health hyper-vigilance, the medicine spiral, and the kind of inner work that will move you into a new identity. She also connects the dots between how your brain processes labels, how fear and focus can reinforce symptoms, and why so many people stay stuck in loops even when they’re doing “all the right things.” P.S. The Manifest Your Health app is here! Get your $49/mo founding membership HERE . In this episode: Erin’s favorite stage of healing (Stage 4) and why the real work happens there Our cultural obsession with labels, and why getting a diagnosis can feel like “sweet relief” How the medicine spiral creates deeper healing every time you move through it The identity shift that allows you to stop constantly monitoring your body and finally feel free in it Resources mentioned: Manifest Your Health is officially open!

Let’s talk about manifestation, but not in a vision boards and affirmations kinda way. In this episode, Erin is diving into three of her favorite topics: manifestation, the subconscious mind, and the nervous system, and how they’re ALL deeply connected when it comes to your health. Did you know that 90-95% of what you experience as “reality” is shaped by subconscious patterns? Your subconscious mind is constantly scanning for evidence of what you already believe, which influences how you think, feel, and respond on a daily basis. And all of this is the foundation behind the Manifest Your Health app, which launches on April 27th. In this episode: The moment Erin’s nervous system shut down before a mastermind and how she rewired it How your perception of safety directly impacts digestion, immune function, and emotional regulation Why your body already knows how to heal and what might be blocking you from accessing it How visceral hypersensitivity turns normal sensations into pain (and why that matters beyond IBS) How to expand what your brain allows you to see so you can access more opportunity and possibility Resources mentioned: The doors for Manifest Your Health open on April 27th.
