• The Truth About Food Sensitivities: Why You're Reacting to Everything | Ep 364

  If you’re stuck in a food reactivity rabbit hole, this episode will help you decode what’s really going on. Erin unpacks the difference between food allergies and sensitivities, highlighting how sensitivities can trigger delayed, systemic inflammation days after exposure. She shares why symptoms vary so widely - ranging from headaches to joint pain to brain fog, and how your body’s “weakest link” often determines where symptoms show up.But rather than just treating food as the enemy, Erin digs into the root causes: changes in food production, immune system overreactions, and gut dysfunction. Environmental toxins, stress, and even poor digestion are priming your body to misfire against food, and your $200 at-home test might be leading you down the wrong path.Tune in for a clear breakdown of how to properly execute an elimination and provocation diet, what red flags on a food sensitivity test REALLY mean, and why blindly removing a bunch of foods could actually make things worse in the long run. In this episode:Why food sensitivity tests showing 25+ reactions might say more about your gut integrity than the foods themselvesThe two BIGGEST reasons our modern immune systems are freaking out, and how it connects to foodHow poor digestion and low stomach acid make your body attack food like a threatWhat Erin actually recommends before ever turning to food sensitivity testingThe unexpected role of hormones, Vitamin A, and stress in triggering food reactions

  Have you tried probiotics, collagen, and cut out food groups but still feel bloated? Erin unpacks the 7 most overlooked (but common!) drivers behind chronic bloating that often go undetected in traditional care models.

And she’ll walk through how stress, poor digestion, and imbalances in the gut can contribute to that uncomfortable, distended feeling.Rather than just focusing on what to cut out of your diet, Erin will help you zoom out and examine digestion from a functional lens: are you chewing enough? Do you have sufficient stomach acid? Could sluggish bile or bacterial overgrowth be to blame? With practical insights, simple self-tests, and supplement strategies, this episode gives you a checklist to start solving the bloating mystery at its root.In this episode:Why stress and rushed meals shut down digestion before food even hits your stomachThe signs of low stomach acid and why it might be behind your food sensitivitiesHow to tell if poor fat digestion or gallbladder issues are causing bloatingThe “I look 7 months pregnant” symptom Erin hears from clients with SIBOWhy food sensitivities are often a SYMPTOM and not the root cause of digestive issues

• Money Shame, Self-Worth & Subconscious Beliefs: Rewiring Your Wealth Mindset | Ep 362

  Today’s episode of The Funktional Nutrition Podcast is a little different — Erin is bringing back a past show that struck a chord with so many listeners, and it feels more relevant than ever. It’s the only episode she’s ever recorded on the topic of money, and she’s re-releasing it to explain exactly why it deserves a second listen. This isn’t just a conversation about finances — it’s about how we view ourselves, our worth, and where those beliefs come from. It’s a powerful message for everyone, but especially for those who are used to putting others first: moms, caretakers, over-functioners — this one’s for you.The episode also dives into something deeper: how we shape our reality based on the beliefs and narratives we consume. In a world flooded with fear-based and limiting messages (particularly around the economy), it’s easy to fall into a mindset of scarcity and self-doubt. But Erin reminds us that when we train our minds to seek out evidence of possibility — not limitation — everything starts to shift. This is exactly why she created Manifest Your Wealth, a program returning June 1st by popular demand. If you’ve ever struggled to see yourself as a worthy investment and want to understand why that is — this episode is your pep talk… or maybe even your full-on pep rally.In this episode:Why women are more likely to feel guilty investing in themselves, and how to flip the scriptHow subconscious beliefs formed in childhood secretly limit your financial potentialThe emotional connection between receiving support and feelings of shameHow to recognize if you’re permission-seeking OR self-trusting with money decisionsWhy building wealth is about rewiring your brain, not just earning more incomeResources mentioned:Manifest Your WealthFOR OUR FULL LIST OF LINKS + RESOURCES, HEAD TO: https://www.thefunktionalnutritionist.com/podcast/362-moneyCheck out The Funk’tional Nutritionist: Website | Instagram
