0:00.0	Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt, and I'm a board-certified, integrative, and functional nutritionist. I live on the sea coast of New Hampshire and work with clients in my virtual practice all over the world through private consultations and online nutrition and functional
0:22.4	medicine programs. Functional medicine nutrition is all about diving deep with people to get to the root
0:28.6	cause of their health issues. And that's exactly what I tackle in this podcast, all things health,
0:34.8	food, and nutrition, unpacking current research and almost a decade of clinical
0:40.3	experience. I love to bring experts and thought leaders to the table so we can all learn
0:45.4	together. Please keep in mind this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should never
0:51.9	be used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment.

1:37.1	candidate for weight loss? The reason that I developed to this workshop, it's basically in
1:43.2	response to years, I mean, literally
1:46.3	years of people saying to me, I'm doing everything right, but I can't lose weight. And people
1:53.4	like pulling their hair out, totally at their wits end, overwhelmed, confused, frustrated,
1:58.4	the whole gamut of emotions. And so we really have to take a look at what does everything right really mean and are you actually
2:08.6	doing those things?
