Is Functional Medicine truly addressing the root causes of Chronic Illness or has it started falling into the same symptom-focused patterns as conventional healthcare? In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Michele Scarlet sits down with Reed Davis, founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN), to explore the philosophy, principles, and clinical framework that have helped thousands of practitioners and clients uncover the hidden stressors behind chronic health challenges. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience, Reed shares how FDN was created to focus on Root Cause Healing rather than diagnoses, symptoms, or condition-specific protocols. He explains why so many people continue to struggle with Gut Health issues, Hormone Imbalance, Burnout, Brain Fog, Anxiety, fatigue, and other chronic symptoms despite being told their labs are “normal.” Together, Michele and Reed discuss the concept of Metabolic Chaos, the limitations of both conventional and Functional Medicine models, and why lasting Health Transformation requires looking at the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. You'll learn: What Metabolic Chaos really means and why it matters Why hidden stressors are often the true drivers of chronic symptoms How Functional Lab Testing helps identify healing opportunities The FDN D.R.E.S.S. framework: Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction, and Supplementation Why supplements should support not replace the foundations of health Reed's perspective on peptides, biohacking, detox protocols, and wellness trends The role of Natural Healing, Functional Wellness, and Holistic Health in long-term outcomes Why practitioners must focus on healing principles rather than chasing symptoms Reed also shares how FDN evolved into a global Practitioner Training program and why Health Coaches, Functional Health Practitioners, alternative medicine practitioners, and wellness professionals are increasingly seeking a more comprehensive approach to helping clients achieve better outcomes. Whether you're working to improve your own health or exploring a future as an FDN Practitioner, this episode offers a powerful look at the framework, mindset, and healing principles that continue to define Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. If you're passionate about Functional Health, Root Cause Health, Practitioner Education, Functional Diagnostics, and helping people create lasting change, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Doug VandeVelde, Chief Growth Officer at WK Kellogg Co, manufacturer of an iconic brand portfolio including Kellogg's Frosted Flakes®, Rice Krispies®, Froot Loops®, Kashi®, Special K®, Kellogg's Raisin Bran®, and Bear Naked®.Follow Doug on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-vandeveldeFollow WK Kellogg Co online at: https://www.wkkellogg.com/Doug answered these questions:95% of Americans are missing their daily fiber, but nobody goes to a Super Bowl party looking for a "health lecture." Why was 2026 the specific moment you decided to use the world's loudest stage to talk about the "Fiber Gap"?Fiber has historically been marketed as a functional necessity for the "older" demographic. How are you using this campaign to pivot the narrative from a "health trend" to a "tasty daily routine" for everyone from Gen Z to Boomers?You partnered with Gary Vaynerchuk's team to bring humor and high-profile talent to a topic as "unsexy" as gut health. How do you, as a 25-year CPG veteran, balance the "legacy brand guardrails" of Kellogg's with the fast-paced, "attention-first" creative style of VaynerMedia?You chose a regional and streaming-first buy for the Big Game rather than a traditional national spot. As Chief Growth Officer, how did you justify the "reach vs. precision" trade-off to your board?Gut health can be clinical and boring. Talk to me about the decision-making process behind using humor. Does "funny" actually move units of Raisin Bran and Mini-Wheats, or is it just about winning the "Ad Meter" rankings?With a streaming-first approach, you have more data than a traditional TV buy. How is WK Kellogg using real-time signals from this campaign to adjust shelf-level execution in the weeks following the game?You've been in this game for over 25 years. What is the one "old school" CPG rule you had to break to make this 2026 Super Bowl campaign a reality?When you go big on a Super Bowl scale, the pressure on the supply chain is immense. How did the $500M modernization of your plants allow you to "lean in" to this demand spike in a way you couldn't have three years ago?Before the campaign went live, did you use AI-driven "attention analytics" or "predictive creative" tools to ensure the humor would land across different demographics, or was this a "gut-feel" (pun intended) decision?If this "Fiber Gap" campaign succeeds, you aren't just selling boxes of cereal—you're changing a category's trajectory. Is the future of WK Kellogg less about "Breakfast" and more about "Functional Wellness"?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

Pete Olander is the founder of Happie, a plant medicine beverage company focused on cannabis-infused and functional mushroom drinks. Before launching Happie, he worked in private banking at J.P. Morgan and later in the nutrition and consumer packaged goods space, experiences that helped shape his entrepreneurial mindset and understanding of beverage formulation, distribution and scaling a brand.Happie is a functional beverage company producing hemp-derived THC drinks and mushroom-based wellness beverages under its Fungi Fusion line. The company focuses on approachable, wellness-oriented products designed to provide consumers with alternatives to alcohol and traditional energy drinks while emphasizing quality, transparency and consumer trust.Olander built Happie as a vertically integrated business, overseeing cultivation, extraction, formulation and finished products. He initially launched the company as a CBD beverage brand in 2019 before expanding into THC beverages and functional mushroom drinks. Happie's mushroom products feature ingredients such as lion's mane, cordyceps and reishi in clinically relevant doses and are distributed through retailers including Total Wine and Amazon. The company's THC beverages are designed as low-dose social drinks that prioritize consistency and consumer comfort rather than overly intense experiences. Olander also discussed the complexities of operating in a heavily regulated, state-by-state cannabis environment and the importance of strategic partnerships as the industry evolves.Olander said his time working in banking exposed him to successful entrepreneurs who inspired him to think differently about risk-taking and business ownership.He explained that entrepreneurship was not something he always envisioned for himself, but eventually realized he wanted more ownership and fulfillment in his career.Olander emphasized that entrepreneurs cannot be afraid to fail because avoiding risk often leads to regret and missed opportunities.He shared that bootstrapping the business helped him stay in control and forced him to deeply understand every part of the operation rather than relying too heavily on outside investors.Olander said younger consumers increasingly want alternatives to alcohol that allow them to stay in control while still enjoying social experiences.He described functional mushroom beverages as part of a larger wellness movement where consumers seek products that offer benefits like focus, energy or relaxation without excessive sugar or stimulants.Olander explained that packaging and branding are critical because consumers “eat and drink with their eyes first,” especially in crowded beverage categories.He noted that Happie's goal is to normalize cannabis beverages by creating approachable, consistent products that help people “feel good about feeling good.” QUOTES “I need to have a little more ownership of this and I'm going to take a stab at this myself.” (Pete)“You have to not be afraid to fail. And you have to not be afraid to try because you don't know until you try.” (Pete)“If you don't do it, you're always going to have that ‘what if?'” (Pete)“Anytime you take on money from an investor or institutional, you lose control.” (Pete)“It really forced me to get after it, grind a little bit more and get really comfortable with being uncomfortable.” (Pete)“Until you have the structure right, until you have the vision and the plan dialed in, you don't need anybody else trying to tell you to try this differently.” (Pete)“We want to give people a real good experience. We want them to enjoy themselves, enjoy the environment they're in and not feel any anxiety about carrying this can around and drinking it.” (Pete)“It's not so cool to get out of control. You want to be in control, but you still want to have a good time.” (Pete)“If people are going to spend extra money on something, they want some kind of function out of it, some kind of a feel factor.” (Pete)

Molly and Emese sit down with Nicola and James Stephenson, the husband and wife founders of oHHo, for a conversation about cannabis and wellness that's long overdue. Nicola opens up about the cancer diagnosis that reshaped the family's life six months after moving to New York, and how that experience led them into the wellness space together. They get into why CBD and low-dose THC are replacing the nightly glass of wine, and walk through the full oHHo product lineup — from tinctures to topicals to the Dream Cream. Plus the real difference between CBD, THC, CBN, and every other cannabinoid you've seen on a label and pretended to understand, the "museum high," and how to actually find your dose when you're starting from zero.

Struggling with weight gain, hot flashes, mood swings, or brain fog during perimenopause? The answer might be in your gut. In this episode of Functional Wellness with Dr. Alison, we explore the estrobolome—the collection of gut bacteria that directly regulate how your body processes estrogen. Dr. Alison DiBarto Goggin, a functional medicine physician specializing in perimenopause and women's hormones, breaks down the science behind beta-glucuronidase, the enzyme that determines whether estrogen leaves your body or gets recycled back into circulation. You'll learn why you can experience symptoms of estrogen dominance even when blood tests show low estrogen, and what you can do about it. In this 30-minute episode, you'll discover: • What the estrobolome is and how it controls hormone balance during perimenopause • How beta-glucuronidase activity affects estrogen metabolism and drives common symptoms • Why the GI Map stool test is essential for understanding your gut-hormone connection • What disrupts the estrobolome (antibiotics, diet, stress, toxins, inflammation) • Evidence-based strategies to support healthy estrogen metabolism through fiber and probiotics • Specific probiotic strains that help (and which ones to avoid for hormone health) • How doTERRA's PB Restore probiotics and RevitaZen support perimenopause naturally • Liver detox strategies and lifestyle changes that reduce estrogen dominance • Why daily bowel movements matter for hormone balance Whether you're dealing with heavy periods, fibrocystic breasts, anxiety, weight gain, hot flashes, or night sweats, understanding the estrobolome can transform your perimenopause experience. Dr. Alison combines clinical research with practical solutions, offering functional medicine approaches that address root causes instead of just managing symptoms. This episode is part of the Perimenopause Series on Functional Wellness with Dr. Alison, where we cover sleep, brain health, weight management, ADHD, libido, and more during the menopausal transition. RESOURCES MENTIONED: • GI Map stool testing for gut health and beta-glucuronidase levels • doTERRA PB Restore probiotics • doTERRA RevitaZen for stress and hormone support • Research from PubMed.gov on estrogen metabolism and the microbiome Ready to understand your hormones from a root cause perspective?

In this episode of Wild & Waking, Emily sits down with Hope Pedraza, a functional wellness practitioner who works at the intersection of science, energetics, and embodied healing. Together, they explore why burnout isn't a personal failure or a productivity problem, it's a signal that old paradigms of success, worth, and wellness are no longer sustainable. This conversation is a powerful invitation to reimagine healing through the lens of worthiness, nervous system regulation, and inner authority.Hope shares her integrative approach to functional wellness, weaving together mineral balancing, nervous system healing, Human Design, subconscious work, and frequency medicine to help high-achieving women restore energy and vitality. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, she explains how burnout often stems from deeper emotional and energetic roots, especially the worthiness wound that conditions women to tie their value to productivity, overgiving, and constant doing.This conversation is for the woman who feels exhausted but deeply self-aware, who knows something is off even when labs look “normal,” and who is ready to listen to her body as the final authority. If you're navigating burnout, identity shifts, or the next evolution of your leadership, this episode offers a grounded yet expansive look at what functional wellness can become when science, energetics, and self-trust meet.In this episode, we explore:Why burnout isn't a hormone problem, productivity issue, or personal failure — but a signal that old paradigms of success and self-worth are no longer sustainableHow tying your worth to productivity impacts the nervous system, hormones, energy levels, and long-term healthThe role of the nervous system in burnout, chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and feeling “off” even when labs look normalWhy cultivating safety around rest is foundational to healing — and why rest often doesn't feel safe for driven womenWhy minerals are a foundational missing link in both conventional and holistic approaches to burnout recoveryThe connection between emotional stress, subconscious patterns, and physical symptoms in the bodyHow Human Design helps women understand their natural energy patterns, boundaries, and inner authorityWhy living out of alignment with your design contributes to burnout, depletion, and nervous system dysregulationHow subconscious reprogramming, hypnotherapy, EFT, and parts work support nervous system healingWhy intellectualizing healing often isn't enough — and what it takes to create real integrationWhat functional wellness looks like when science, energetics, and embodiment are woven togetherWhy healing often requires an identity shift — and the grief that can come with releasing who you used to beHow listening to the body as the final authority changes the way we approach health, leadership, and lifeBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Hope Pedraza:If this conversation resonated and you're curious about working with Hope or exploring her work more deeply, you can connect with her in the following ways:Website: hopefulandwholesome.comInstagram: @thehopepedrazaFacebook: @thehopepedrazaYouTube: @hopepedrazaPodcast: Hopeful and WholesomeBook a Discovery CallConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Episode 158 | You Are Nature: Reclaiming Your Rhythm Through the Sacred Cycles of Body, Moon & EarthSign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn More
In this week's episode of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, FOX Regional Director John Dominski, PT, DPT, OCS, COMT, joins the conversation to explore the future of healthcare and the evolving role of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. John shares why the profession must continue shifting from reactive care to proactive, preventative models—and how PTs can function as primary care providers of functional health. He paints a vision of a system that fully integrates PTAs, COTAs, and fitness specialists to support patients across the lifespan. The discussion unpacks the idea of “flipping the funnel,” emphasizing early intervention over downstream treatment. John also speaks directly to students and clinicians on preparing for this shift, changing long‑held mindsets, and advocating for the value of PT amid ongoing Medicare cuts.

Send us a textIn this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino interviews healthcare entrepreneur Vivienne Reign about why modern “healthcare” often functions as sick care and why so many people feel worse than ever despite medical advances.Vivienne breaks down the insurance model, the mindset shift required to pursue real wellness, and the difference between proactive biohacking vs reactive medical intervention. They also dive deep into red light therapy, including what makes a device legitimate (wavelength, dose, distance, power, and FDA clearance), how to avoid low-quality products, and how red light can support circulation, inflammation, pain, and neuropathy outcomes.This conversation also covers pelvic floor dysfunction in men and women, why common advice like kegels misses key involuntary muscles, and how improving pelvic floor function can impact sleep quality, incontinence, and long-term quality of life.If you feel like you pay for insurance but still have to figure out your health on your own, this episode will help you rethink the system and take back control.
Welcome back to Functional Wellness with Dr. Alison. This is the story I never wanted to tell, but the one so many of you need to hear. In 2019, a doctor yelled at Dr. Alison that she had cancer. No tests. No conversation. Just fear. The GI who performed her colonoscopy was aggressive and dismissive. After that scope, everything changed. She went from "a little inflammation" to end-stage colitis in 5 months. When she was dying from sepsis—losing 35 pounds in 3 weeks, hallucinating from pain, with a resting heart rate of 170—her doctor said, "I don't know what you want me to do for you." This episode is about medical trauma, dismissal, and what happens when the system fails you. It's also about resilience, the lessons learned in the darkest moments, and why Dr. Alison will never dismiss a patient the way she was dismissed. What you'll learn: The three things she wishes she'd done differently Why meeting your specialist BEFORE procedures matters How this shaped her devotional approach to functional medicine More Support At: www.LittleBlackBagMedicine.com
We sit down with Joy Dutcher, co-founder of Mycelyum, to explore how she turned a personal journey with ADHD and functional mushrooms into an innovative Canadian wellness brand. Joy shares the origin story of discovering lion's mane and chaga mushrooms through her partner Jimmy's background in traditional Chinese medicine, and why they chose the gummy format over powders and capsules.

In this episode, we unpack the gap between what your lab tests say and what your body feels — and why both are valid. As someone who deeply values functional lab data, I'm not here to dismiss it. In fact, I still regularly test through my own care team. But lab work is just one piece of the puzzle. Functional data is powerful — but it's a snapshot, not a full story. What happens between tests? What happens when symptoms don't align with results? It isn't about replacing one system with another — it's a yes, and. It offers context. Insight. A filter. We explore how your energy, rhythms, and lived experience can help you contextualize the data, not override it. So you can use data without gaslighting your own experience — and start making decisions that reflect how you actually feel in your body.

Feeling “fine” but needing more coffee, sleeping in on weekends, and riding the anxiety rollercoaster? You might be in a slow build toward burnout. In this episode, Julie Deem invites functional health coach and owner of Phoenix Functional Health, Jessica Van Antoine. We talk mineral testing, cortisol rhythm, protein timing, true sleep hygiene, and the tiny habits that move the big levers. If you want real-world steps to feel clear, calm, and strong again, this one is your reset.Episode Highlights:Burnout usually develops gradually.Treating symptoms without addressing root causes stalls progress.Doctors must diagnose for insurance and often test one system at a time, while functional health evaluates multiple systems together.Track trends over time rather than isolated off days to recognize when support is needed.Symptoms are common but not normal; the earlier you respond, the easier and faster you recover.Connect with Jessica Van Antoine on Instagram@phoenixfunctionalhealthLearn more about the latest tool for dynamic professionals in the self-improvement industry, LyfQuest.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, we explore the deep intersection of gut health, cardiac coherence, and nervous system transformation through two very different yet profoundly aligned lenses. Functional Medicine Health Coach Angie Gallagher breaks down the myths around cholesterol and heart disease, while Energy Priestess and veteran Susannah Rose Stokes unveils the emotional frequencies stored in the body—and how psilocybin-assisted ceremonies help release them. Together, they unpack the “three minds” of the body: gut, heart, and brain, and how breathwork, intuition, and inner stillness pave the way for true transformation. About the Guests:Angie Gallagher is a National Board-Certified Functional Medicine Coach with 25+ years in cardiac rehab. She bridges Western protocols with root-cause healing, specializing in metabolic and emotional health via the heart-gut-brain connection.Susannah Rose Stokes is a Marine veteran turned transformational guide and co-founder of Embodied Metamorphosis. Her work blends sacred plant medicine with somatic healing, activating deep nervous system repair and energetic integration. Key Takeaways: Cholesterol is often scapegoated; inflammation and metabolic dysfunction are deeper culprits in heart disease. The gut-heart-brain axis operates as an intelligent, energetic ecosystem—not isolated systems. Psychedelics like psilocybin can support nervous system repair when used ceremonially. Breathwork is the first step to self-regulation and intuitive reconnection. True resilience requires spiritual surrender and metabolic awareness, not just behavior change.

Real healing asks something of you. It's not a product you take. It's a path you walk. And the first step is choosing to actually begin.We have to talk about something that might sting a little.Because I can't tell you how many times I've heard, “I've tried everything.” And I get it. I've said that, too. But if we're being radically honest? Trying everything is often just trying a lot of things halfway. Jumping from one quick fix to another, hoping something sticks. Hoping something works without having to fully commit.That's not healing. That's surviving. That's symptom management. And if you're here for that, I'll tell you now - this isn't the podcast for you.But if you're here because you are done living in cycles of survival... If you're here because you're ready to break generational patterns, to claim a new way of being - for yourself, for your children - then this is the place for you.Thanks for listening!

In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, we explore the deep intersection of gut health, cardiac coherence, and nervous system transformation through two very different yet profoundly aligned lenses. Functional Medicine Health Coach Angie Gallagher breaks down the myths around cholesterol and heart disease, while Energy Priestess and veteran Susannah Rose Stokes unveils the emotional frequencies stored in the body—and how psilocybin-assisted ceremonies help release them. Together, they unpack the “three minds” of the body: gut, heart, and brain, and how breathwork, intuition, and inner stillness pave the way for true transformation. About the Guests:Angie Gallagher is a National Board-Certified Functional Medicine Coach with 25+ years in cardiac rehab. She bridges Western protocols with root-cause healing, specializing in metabolic and emotional health via the heart-gut-brain connection.Susannah Rose Stokes is a Marine veteran turned transformational guide and co-founder of Embodied Metamorphosis. Her work blends sacred plant medicine with somatic healing, activating deep nervous system repair and energetic integration. Key Takeaways: Cholesterol is often scapegoated; inflammation and metabolic dysfunction are deeper culprits in heart disease. The gut-heart-brain axis operates as an intelligent, energetic ecosystem—not isolated systems. Psychedelics like psilocybin can support nervous system repair when used ceremonially. Breathwork is the first step to self-regulation and intuitive reconnection. True resilience requires spiritual surrender and metabolic awareness, not just behavior change.

Today, I delve into the intricate interplay between hypertension and genetic predisposition, shedding light on how specific genes can influence blood pressure and increase the risk of this prevalent health concern. I will not only explore the genetic factors contributing to hypertension but also focus on actionable strategies that we as functional practitioners can employ to prevent and manage high blood pressure effectively. From dietary interventions to targeted supplementation and stress reduction techniques, we'll uncover a holistic approach to empower both practitioners and individuals to take control of their cardiovascular health. IN THIS EPISODE:Understanding HypertensionHypertension, characterized by elevated blood pressure, particularly when it surpasses the threshold of 120 over 80, is a critical health concern due to its potential to result in severe complications, including strokes and debilitating headaches. This condition is thoroughly defined in the opening section, emphasizing its medical significance and the risks associated with it, such as strokes and other disabilities.Genetic FactorsGenetic factors are known to exert a significant influence on hypertension. Specific genes, namely ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme), AGTR1 (Angiotensin 2 receptor), NOS (nitric oxide synthase), and CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase), have been pinpointed as key contributors to high blood pressure. These genetic elements play a pivotal role in critical physiological processes like kidney function, sodium regulation, and vasodilation, all of which are intricately linked to the control of blood pressure. The discussion surrounding these specific genetic factors and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including ACE, AGTR1, NOS, and CYP11B2, offers valuable insights into the genetic underpinnings of hypertension and how these SNPs impact the intricate mechanisms governing blood pressure regulation.Functional ApproachesFunctional practitioners play a pivotal role in assisting individuals dealing with hypertension by employing a multifaceted approach. These strategies encompass dietary adjustments, such as increasing foods high in potassium, magnesium, and CoQ10, stress alleviation methods like meditation and yoga, regular exercise, and genetic profiling to personalize interventions. Additionally, the importance of accurate blood pressure measurement is highlighted, advocating the necessity of taking multiple readings to mitigate white coat hypertension and ensure precise results. The transcript underscores the critical role of lifestyle modifications, including stress-reduction techniques and dietary changes, such as adhering to the DASH diet, optimizing potassium and magnesium intake, and incorporating supplements like taurine to effectively lower blood pressure.

Welcome to the Rachel Varga podcast, where we talk about all things beauty, skin care, and aging. Today's episode is going to be a little different than our usual content. We're going to talk about the dark side of the beauty industry and why it's important to avoid toxic skin care products and rejuvenation treatments.As a skin care nurse, I've seen countless patients come to me with concerns about aging, fine lines, and wrinkles. And while there are many effective treatments available, there is a dark side to the industry that we need to address. Many of the products and treatments available are not only costly, but they can also be filled with gimmicks and toxins that can actually make you age faster.That's why in my practice, I encourage my patients to focus on non-toxic beauty and inflammation reduction lifestyle habits through biohacking and functional wellness. It's normal to feel like self-care is all about vanity, but taking care of your skin and body in a healthy way will actually slow down the aging process.One of the things I want to stress in this episode is the importance of avoiding mass products beauty brands that are using toxic canola oil now as it is cheaper. These products may be more affordable, but they can have serious long-term effects on your skin and overall health.If you're looking for non-toxic beauty options, I highly recommend checking out my website at rachelvarga.ca/favorites, where I've listed my top nutrition and biohacking tools.And speaking of my website, I'm almost ready to launch my personal skin care and beauty line focusing on skin radiance, product and ingredient energy optimization.

In this episode, we're joined by Erin Holt, who shares her personal journey to functional wellness and how it led her to become a practitioner in the field. Erin explains the difference between conventional healthcare and functional medicine, and how the latter focuses on finding the root cause of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. Erin gives an example of a tack in the heel, where a conventional approach would be to treat the pain with medication, whereas functional wellness would focus on removing the tack to solve the problem at its source. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the body's interconnected systems and how they work together to promote overall health. To get started with feeling well, Erin suggests focusing on the basics: eating balanced meals with whole foods, regulating blood sugar, incorporating movement, prioritizing sleep, and managing stress levels. She also addresses the question of maintaining a positive body image while working towards wellness, and how it depends on the individual's mindset and motives. Erin provides insights into the various reasons for feeling low energy and suggests that a functional lab panel could be a good starting point to identify potential causes. She highlights the importance of finding the right functional practitioner who aligns with your needs and values and discusses the costs and benefits of investing in functional wellness. Overall, this episode provides a comprehensive overview of functional wellness and how it can benefit individuals looking to optimize their health and wellbeing. Subscribe to my Newsletter.

We're baaacckkk! And today's my birthday so I'm FIRED UP and ready to share my latest thoughts on wellness with you! But can I first say... this season of the podcast is going to be incredible. We have the most amazing guests along with solo episodes where I'm answering your biggest questions about body image, intuitive eating, food freedom, wellness, movement, faith, and so much more! Have you ever stopped to think about what our bodies were actually designed for? Because the truth is that they were not designed for vanity. They were not designed to gain applause, or approval, or validation. They were not designed to be a never ending work-in-progress. They were not designed to turn heads. Our bodies were designed for FUNCTIONALITY. They were designed to hold us all toghether and move us through life everyday. And they do a pretty amazing job at it. The complexities of our bodies are mind-blowing and kind of incomprehensible, honestly. But that's what makes them so incredible! But knowing just how hard my body works to keep me alive everyday, I can begin to make decisions that will support my body in all of that hard work. Do I know exactly how to do that? Definitely not. But when I'm focused on helping my body to function well, I can learn new ways of doing that so that I can truly feel my best. Because feeling my best is a high priority in my life right now. And it's amazing because if I hadn't spent the last couple of years getting rid of the rigidity of a dieting mentality and rebuilding trust with my body, then this part of my journey might look very different. All I know is that constantly eating less and moving more and hoping to move the need on the scale down further and further, wasn't doing me any favors in terms of how I was actually feeling every day. And that's not to say that weight loss is wrong or bad. I'm not against weight loss. What I'm against is placing weight loss at the front and center of all of our wellness decisions and allowing it to lead the way in our health journey. When we place weight-loss at the front and center, we limit ourselves from experiencing all the incredible health benefits that come with nourishing our body, soul, and spirit, by learning exactly what our own, specific, individual selves need. When, with some tools and some guidance, we become the expert of our own bodies, and are making decisions out of self-compassion rather than self-loathing, the possibilities are endless. So for me, I want to be in a place where I'm focusing on wellness from a place of functionality. I want to support my body, and work with my body. Not against her. So that's the root of my health decisions as of lately. Please leave a review and subscribe to this podcast! Subscribe to my Newsletter. Order MY BOOK and start making peace with your body.
