The Funk'tional Nutrition Podcast

Part of managing your anxiety is managing your energy, and last week Erin discussed how establishing your own sacred, grounding practice is a smart antidote to festering anxiety. While a morning ritual doesn't magically make all of the world's problems disappear, it *does* give you the fortitude to navigate whatever lies ahead. We tend to be much less reactive and much more grounded and calm when we are making sure our own needs are being met, and when we are not sacrificing our own needs to keep other people comfortable.This episode is part one of a three-part Strictly Biz series all about entitlement in business. You’ll want to listen to this one if you’ve ever struggled with setting boundaries in your business or finding more of the people you want to work with. Erin shares how she realized she needed to up her boundary game, building resilience and how setting boundaries in her business has not only NOT hurt it, it’s actually enhanced it. Setting (& keeping) boundaries has allowed Erin to find more of the people who respect them, and that, in turn, allows her to keep showing up in a big way.Just a heads up: this conversation is in true, straight-shooting-Erin form, and she says some things that may make you feel a bit...seen. Buckle up and let’s buckle down!In this episode:-How managing where energy goes and who you give your energy to helps you better manage your anxiety [1:47]-Why Erin decided to up her boundary game, and the signs that tell her she needs a clear boundary in place [10:18]-The new entitlement phenomenon that began happening after publicly setting my boundary [15:21]-The difference between admiration and value [19:19]-Why Erin isn't afraid of chasing off business with her boundaries [22:16]-How to tell if someone is not a good fit for your business [26:34]-Worrying what others think and why this gives away our power [27:50]-Where to draw the line between providing free content and paid work [29:23]-The caretaking conundrum, and why getting comfortable with the discomfort of saying no is so important [31:25]-How saying no to those who aren’t a good fit opens the door to more who are, and why this shift affects how you show up in your business [37:17]Resources mentioned:Organifi Pumpkin Spice (enter FUNK at checkout for 15% off!) https://organifi.com/FUNKPod: Episode 115 | Strictly Biz: Determining your Yes from your No https://www.erinholthealth.com/funktional-nutrition-podcast/2020/8/27/episode-115-strictly-biz-determining-your-yes-from-your-noPod: Ep 123: Creating Your Morning Ritual https://www.erinholthealth.com/funktional-nutrition-podcast/2020/11/3/episode-123-creating-your-morning-ritualFunk’tional Nutrition Academy https://www.erinholthealth.com/mentorshipFollow Erin on Insta https://www.instagram.com/the.funktional.nutritionist/

Feeling overwhelmed with life’s “not-knowingness” lately? You’re not alone. It seems that emotions are really tough right now. Between the pandemic, the election (that this episode is being released on election day is not lost on me), last minute changes with school, work and other plans - we’ve got lots going on and pulls in many different directions.With all this, it feels like an especially good time to talk about how to establish a grounded, sacred space for yourself. This episode is all about how to create a morning ritual that you’re drawn to and is meaningful to you. I’ll unpack what my 3 day panic attack taught me, how to create and take up space for yourself and why it’s so important to commit to yourself, even if just for a few moments, each day.In this episode:-Why my new office set up is relevant to the importance of creating a ritual for myself, and why nutrition and food are not the only pieces of the health puzzle [1:16]-The reclamation of “witchy” and a nod to the women before our time [4:48]-Why now is as good a time as any to start creating space for yourself [7:00]-How my morning ritual started [8:44]-A rousing explanation of what a morning ritual is NOT [10:03]-Why there is such a need for a morning ritual, and how I came back to mine after a brief hiatus [12:40]-What a morning ritual is all about and how it can not only dictate the outcome of your day, but also the income of your business [19:50]-How giving myself sacred space has allowed for big transitions in my life and business [22:45]-The “kiss of death” for doing anything, and why no one is going to swoop in and save time for you [25:23]-Why tending to your partner’s sacred needs is also important to tending to yours [29:15]-How not asking for permission to take care of your needs helps your internal perspective to shift [30:23]-Creating your space, staking your claim and why this can be especially tricky for women [33:00]-How setting and keeping boundaries can allow you to show up in a bigger way [36:50]-How to make your sacred space “yours” [39:24]-What to do once you’ve created the time and space [41:40]-Reminder of what a morning ritual is NOT, and things I often incorporate during this pause [44:28]-Specifics on activities I do [46:15]-Move the body, still the brain: tips for an overactive or scattered mind [49:09] Resources mentioned:FREE Meditations: https://www.erinholthealth.com/meditationsYarrow, Kittery, ME https://www.instagram.com/yarrowkitterymaine/Episode 77: Opting out of diet culture and cultivating self trust https://www.erinholthealth.com/funktional-nutrition-podcast/2019/11/25/episode-77-opting-out-of-diet-culture-and-cultivating-self-trustSacred Rebels Oracle Deck https://amzn.to/3jRmy2XAngels and Ancestors Oracle Deck https://amzn.to/2HVfhlmNon-toxic Ritual Candle https://amzn.to/3610rCjTarot for the Wild Soul podcast https://lindsaymack.com/podcastYour Hormone Revival https://www.erinholthealth.com/hormonesFollow Erin on Insta https://www.instagram.com/the.funktional.nutritionist/**Did you start a morning ritual?

Today I’m picking up where we left off on the Gut-Skin Connection. If you missed part one, be sure to check that out! Last week I talked about how the gut and skin are linked, the different mechanisms that link them and why a healthy diet for your gut is also a healthy diet for your skin.This week I continue the conversation and discuss leaky gut, specific skin conditions, how they often manifest and important things to consider for them.This episode is definitely for you or someone you know if you’ve been suffering from a common skin condition like rosacea, acne, eczema, keratosis pilaris or psoriasis.

Today I’m kicking off part one of a two-part series on the connection between gut health and skin health.Many of you already know that your skin is your largest organ, but we often forget that addressing skin conditions often requires us to go beyond topical solutions. Conventional/allopathic medicine tends to focus on the organ in question. For skin issues, the "solutions" are always skin-focused with treatments like dermatology, steroids, cortisone creams, Acutane, etc.⁣ They work from the outside.The truth of the matter is that skin is almost always an inside job. Sometimes it's hormones. Sometimes it's overburdened detoxification pathways. Often it's gut-related. Functional medicine likes to take a step back and ask, what's driving the imbalance? What are the triggers? Where did it start? How can we address the root so the organ can self-heal?⁣ These are the questions I ask in my practice, and how I attempt to address skin issues from the inside-out.This episode is all about the connection between gut health and skin health. I go into detail about these connections and explore how what we put IN our bodies can affect how we look and feel OUTside our bodies.In this episode:-Why sound byte nutrition does us a huge disservice [1:34]-New registration dates for Erin Holt Health programs [6:48]-Big (and little) shifts that are happening on the pod [8:11]-Business transparency, back end decisions, sponsorships and my continued commitment to YOU, the listener [11:16]-Why skin is an inside job [14:19]-Gut/skin/inflammatory issues: decoding the chicken/egg situation, and the valuable role functional testing plays with this [16:54]-Your skin, your gut and the unique connection they share [19:50]-Turmeric, curcumin and the therapeutic effect they have on the skin [22:55]-Nutrients the skin loves [25:14]-The specific way skin conditions are tied to gut health [27:54]-The first step to take in healing your skin [30:24]-How identifying food sensitivities can help your skin [33:52]-The drawbacks to elimination-style diets [35:52]Resources mentioned:Organifi Gold powder (enter code FUNK at checkout for 15% off!) https://www.organifi.com/FUNKErin’s Online Dispensary https://www.erinholthealth.com/purchase-supplementsFREE DIGESTIVE GUIDE https://www.erinholthealth.com/digestiveguideEat to Achieve https://www.erinholthealth.com/eat-to-achieveCarb Compatibility Project https://www.erinholthealth.com/carb-compatibility-projectYour Hormone Revival https://www.erinholthealth.com/hormonesVibrant Wellness Food Sensitivity Testing https://www.erinholthealth.com/tests-and-consultsBlog: How to Heal Your Dry Skin https://www.erinholthealth.com/erin-holt-health-1/2016/11/7/how-to-heal-your-dry-skinThe Gut Microbiome as a Major Regulator of the Gut-Skin Axis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6048199/Follow Erin on Insta https://www.instagram.com/the.funktional.nutritionist/Hormone-safe Skin & Personal Care https://www.beautycounter.com/erinholt

If you have kids, you probably know just how hard it is to keep them and their surroundings clean. Attempts to completely sterilize our outer environment is an inherently futile goal; microbes and pathogens have always been present and will always be present. As parents we worry about kids catching viruses or other pathogens, and in COVID times, this worry has ramped up cleaning efforts to a critical level. We’ve seen that even with our best efforts and precautions, we can’t completely avoid pathogens or viruses. So, what do we do?In this episode I chat with Naturopath Dr. Melina Roberts about what it takes to build a robust immune system for our kids. It’s an important and relevant conversation that can also be applied to humans of all ages. We discuss how efforts in our outer environment can benefit (or hinder) us, and how getting to the root of robust health actually requires focus on our inner environment.Dr. Melina Roberts is a Naturopathic Doctor, Author of Building a Healthy Child and Founder of Advanced Naturopathic Medical Centre in Calgary. She is recognized as one of the top Biological Medicine practitioners in North America and is a lecturer for the Paracelsus Academy. She is a leading authority in the field of naturopathic medicine specializing in Biological Medicine effectively treating digestive issues, chronic disease and cancer. Dr. Roberts is a graduate of the University of Waterloo and the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto. She did a two year post-graduate study in Biological Medicine with Paracelsus Klinik in Switzerland. She was also selected to be a TEDx speaker for 2020.In this episode:-Erin’s philosophy on food [1:36]-Often overlooked symptoms of dairy sensitivity [5:45]-The key component to boosting our immune system [11:52]-What is the microbiome and how it relates to our immunity [14:08]-Circumstances that activate our immune system from foods we eat, and how this manifests as various symptoms or even disease [16:06]-Our obsession with cleanliness and sterilization, a weakened microbiome and the compounding toll this can have on our immune system over time [19:06]-The role pesticides, herbicides and insecticides play in our gut [23:33]-The potential impact of antibacterial hand sanitizer on your gut [28:38]-The three big factors that can move the needle in terms of addressing a leaky gut and rebuilding a strong gut barrier [33:03]-Stipulations with going gluten free [38:33]-Physical activity and its effect on the microbiome [40:41]-Potential effects of social isolation on our immunity, and ways to keep our immune system robust during COVID [44:48]Resources mentioned:Food Sensitivity testing https://www.erinholthealth.com/tests-and-consultsFollow Erin on Insta https://www.instagram.com/the.funktional.nutritionist/Follow Dr. Roberts on Insta https://www.instagram.com/drmelinaroberts/More on Dr. Melina Roberts https://advancednaturopathic.com/Boost your immune system (enter code FUNK for 15% off) https://www.organifi.com/FUNK
