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
